Republicans’ Attention.
There will be a meeting at the Wide
Awakes’ Room on Friday evening, Aug. 17,
at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of nominating
Delegates to attend to the State Convention
to be held in New Haven on the 30th inst.,

More Beauties of the Institution.
We publish herewith a letter written as by
a native born Virginian who, like ourselves,
having been born to toil, sees tlrsough quite
a different pair of spectacles, in viewing the
“ peculiar institution" from those endowed
with a rich” inheritance of “ niggcrs.” His
details Of the circumstances attending the
destruction of the Lincoln Liberty Pole, and
the Rtion of their pusilanimous Go ornor
will be read with interest, as also his a§count
of the mode of casting their sufl‘rages on
days of election. But in his appeal to the
Laboring men of the North, consists the real
interest and pathos of his epistle. Having
had frequent private communications from
our friend 'upon the same subject matter,
we know that his entreaties for their aid in
behalf of their depressed brethren of the
South conws from the heart. And with him,
we truly believe, that the only way to save
our depressed white fellow citizens of the
South from the heel of this terrible oppres-
sion, to quell the angry tumult of disunion,
and reinstate our g10rious Confederacy, and
every citizen thereof, upon the broad foun-
dations of that Declaration of Independence
our fathers framed, is in the election of hon-
est, patriotie ABRAHAM LINCOLN. And we
behave, furthermore that God has ordained
that it shall be done:
Correspondence of the Gazette.
OCCAQUAN, Va., August 8th.
DEAR FRIEND B.-—I noticed an account in your
paper of our Republican difficulties here at Occaquan,
and prepare to give you a correct statement concern-
ing the same. Before raising the Lincoln St Hamlin
pole, we held ameeting to confer as to the best place
to erect it, at which it was, concluded to place it on
private property. The consent of Mr. JANNEYS, an
old resident and not a‘Republican, was obtained for
placing it on his land, and then it went up. Hereup-
on about three hundred loeofacos held a meeting at
Brentsville, the County Seat, with Gen. Hutton as
President, when they resolved to go and cut it down.
The Republicans, learning what was on foot, des-
patchcd a messenger to Gov. FLETCHER demanding
his protection in the maintenance of law and order.
He responded by sending this very self-same band of
Democrats, who had organized for the express pur-
pose of destroying our property and violating the
laws. These men were thus sent under the pretense
of being an armed force for the maintenance of law
and order, when there can possibly exist no doubt
that the Governor was fully aware of the purposes of
their organization. When this marauding band
came in sight of the village, the women in their ter-
ror ran about begging that we would cut it down for
fear of an encounter and bloodshed, but we had not
put it up for any such purpose and did not comply.
At length the Governor‘s valiant General Hutton ar-
rived with bis 300 democrats(?) and after surround-
ing our liberty pole with great parade, ordered it cut
down. which order was instantly executed! And
such is the liberty and such the protection enjoyed
in Old Virginia—the mother of Presidents! When
protection is dc‘mandcd from a threatened outrage by
a lawless mob, our governor connives with the un-
hung sconndrels, to rush upon us in the guise of
coming to our succor, and then perpetrate the very
outrage we called upon him to protect us from!
If we could only vote here by secret ballot, as you
do, "Honest Abe" would not be far behind even here
in this hot bed of slavery oppression, and worse than
Austrian tyranny. Perhaps all your readers do not
know our modus operandi of voting. We have five
judges of election at each Precinct, three of whom
are chosen by the Courts. These elect a man to act
as public cryer, ‘who, on the approach of a man to
the polls, calls out his name as loud as he can, and
then asks, “ Who do you vote for i" The answer to-
which‘is again shouted aloud. Now let any man say
he votes for Lincoln if he dare l He would be lynch-
ed in an instant, particularly if he is a poor man.
Thus it is that the thousands upon thousands of the
depressed poor of our beautiful South, who pray for
the success 0f the Republican cause, and yearn in
their hearts for the privilege of voting for the Re-
publican candidates, dare not attempt it. Yet you
may depend upon it that free white men, however
poor, will never submit tamely to this despotism.
Aworking man myself, I can only in conclusion en-
treat our laboring brethren of the North to relieve
us, their fellows at the South, from this terrible
thraldom, this gelling yoke of tyranny. And how is
this tube done, some may honestly ask. I reply not,
assuredly not, by continuing in power the tyrants
who have welded the chains about our necks. I be-
lieve therelection of Lincoln the only sure and cer-
tain means of peaceably destroying this oppression.

PIC-NIOINC.——Tlre Pic-nic Season is at its
height, and Roton Point seems to be a favor-
ite resort. We spent a few short hours there
on Thursday, and enjoyed the pleasure of
meeting large parties of our “Country Cous-
ins" from Ridgefield, Wilton, New Canaan,
and other adjoining towns. The Grove was
crowded with pleasure seekers, and all “pass-
ed merrily as a marriage bell.” Large num-
bers of Ladies and Gentlemen indulged them-
selves by bathing in the briny waters, while
others were enjoying a few brief hours of
“Life on the Ocean Wave.” Tire Bay was
alive with Sailing Parties, and each of the
prominent islands were occupied by happy
excursionists. There must have been nearly
a thousand persons down the Bay, picnicing
that day,—-a much larger number than usual.
We learn that our friends of the New Ca-
naan Baud make an excursion to this beauti-
ful spot on Thursday next, and are to take
their‘music with them. Friend Vincent may

" When we Were Gipseying.”
Most of our readers, we doubt not, will be
surprised to learn that there is a“g271mb en-
encampment" in the centre of this Borough,
comprising as motley a crew as ever went
unhung. Tire encampment is directly in
rear of the “Town House" under the Locust
Grove, partly on the Cemetery grounds. We
learn that the Gipseys have been-encarnped
attlris place some ten days, and that on Strum
day the camp ground was visited by large
numbers. Among their numbers are inclu-
ded some noteworthy characters, including
one of the male species named after the Fath-
er of our country. They have among their
number the necessary elements for obtaining
plenty to eat ;. having Bakers, Fishers, and
any quantities of Bones. As to beauty
among the female portion of the tribes, we
cannot afiirm from any personal observation,
but we learn that black eyes and rating locks
predominate in‘the camp. We advise the
curious to go and sec for themselves.

exposing himself to too much danger. He
was in imminent peril several tunes, but
fought his way out. A dispatch dated Na-
ples, July 30, says that a convention has been
concluded between Garibaldi and Gen-Clary
which stipulates that the Neapolitans are to
remain in possession of the ports of Syracuse
Agosto, and Messina, and to have liberty of
access to all parts of those towns. The cita-
del of Messina is not to fire on the town.—
The Garibaldiau colors are to take equal rank
with the Neapolitan flag and the naviga-
tion of the strait of Messina to be free. The
report that Garibaldi had entered Messina is
fully confirmed. In consequence of the corr-
vention concluded between Garibaldi and
Gen. Clary, there will be a cessation of hos-
tilities in the Island. The convention rela—
tive to intervention in Syrian affair-s had not
yet been signed, though the French proposal
with the modifications desired by the Porto,
if agreed to by the Great Powers, it was ex-
pected, would be signed at the next sitting Of
the Conference. The Emperor Napoleon

WA neat and charming maiden in Indi-

property, became engaged for marriage to a
green unattractive, clumsy boy Of eighteen
years. The day for the wedding was fixed,
and the course of rustic love was running
smoothly enough. One day the groom-ex-
pectant appeared before his mistress with
Winkled brow, quivering chin, e 'es filled with
tears. “My father says I sha nt marry un-
less I first pay him for my time.” This was
all he said. The woman at once sent him to
the sharp parent with instructions to learn
the lowest rate of exchange at which the
time could be transmuted into money. “I
will sell you,”—said the father—“for $200,
and not a cent less.” ‘And I will buy you,”
returned the damsel, when the offer was cour-
municatcd to her. She paid the money,
married the property, and has since so assid-
uously cultivated, it that, a great improve-
ment, personally, morally, and intellectually,

CUTTING OFF A DISEASED MEMBER—The
speeches made by Jeff. Davis, Breckenridge,
Toonrbs and Ballet, upon the occasion of a
serenade to Breckenridge, at Washington, af-
ter his nomination, show the prevalence of
the most intense feeling of bitterness toward
Douglas. Davis said that his fate would be
like that of Van Burenatnd that his followers
were only a. set of spoilsrnen and Treasury
plurIderers—thcy would cut him off as a dis-
eased member, just as Van Burcn was cutoff.
It is thus the South, deals with refractory
Northerner-s. It uses them while it can, and
when they show the least signs of indepen-

or two very pleasantly in the Union school
of this place. For nearly three years the
school has been under the charge of L. L.
CAMP, Esq, aided by i]. corps of competent
teacher's. Most of our time was spent in the
upper department, which appeared in excel-
lent condition—the relation between teachers
and pupils being ofa very pleasant nature.
The school house and school will rank with
the very best in the State, and the pleasant
location,amp]e and well-graded grounds,pre~
sent an attractive appearance.

crisis. He has been a prominent member-0f
the American Party, but now says that he
cannot see the least chance for either Messrs.
Bell or Everett, cvcn should the election go
to the House. Mr. Douglas, he claims, is the ‘
candidate of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
Mr. Breckenridge would perpetuate the cor-
ruptions of the present administration. Mr.
Lincoln, on the other band, is honest. and en-
pable. Hc.witlr Mr. Bell, can be charged
with Scoliomllism with lessrcason than cilll—

most influential of the newspapers in western
New York, has given in its adhesion to Lin-

mont in 1856 and has long been the organ of

supposed to spcslk the sentiments of Millard
Fillmore. It says the choice of the conserva-
tives lies between Bell and Lincoln ; that it is
useless to vote for Bell in New York, because
he stands no chance of getting a plurality in
that State. Under the circumstances, and
knowing that what little strength‘JOhn Bell
might have in New York is already diminish-
ed by a considerable accession to Sam Hous-

and faithful support. Tire old \Vhigs of New

nature so devoid of ultraism or fanaticism,
that we are confident the more he is studied
and the longer be is kept before the people,
the more will the patriotic and candid of all

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 28, 1860.
MY DEAR SIR :—If it Can be done without
affecting your local elections, let me urge up-
on you the importance Of throwing the en-
tire Republican vote for the Opposition State
Ticket. Opposition men, I know, often mis-
treat us, but too much value cannot be set
upon the three particulars in which they
agree with us—the Freedom of the Press,
the Ballot Box. .IVithout these, I again urge
upon you, we have a long probation before
us; with them, and Lincoln‘s election, an
easy and early victory. I begin to think the
Opposition’s have some ghance of success.—
I have none, even lo call out the Republican
strength. I am directing my friends, every-
where I can reach them, to conform to these
views. If it is done,the Republicans will aid,
not cmbarass, the Opposition ticket.

well you know small towns are apt to have small
and weak Churches, and we perhaps are not. an ex-

some ambition. (some of our good friends call it
pride,) so it. was decided that a parsonage should be
built, and the result is a neat and commodious house
is nearly finished, which is an ornament to the place.
and we mean that it shall be paid for soon. Well,
having got a new minister. and commenced building
anew house—will you believe it—we began to think
our Church needed enlarging and improving, and
more than that, we decided it should be done, so i] vc
feet have been added to thclcngth of the Church, to-

some twenty more pews, which we trust will all he
wanted at the annual meeting, as We had not enough
at the last sal to accommodate all that wished to
obtain sitting in the Church. The whole interior- of
the Church has been improved and modernized and
is now being painted and grained. It is expected to
be ready for occupancy, one week from next Sabbath
the 19th inst. Although there was some opposition
to these improvements, it is believed all will be
pleased with the change, as we now have a very
pleasant and comfortable Church. So much.Mcssrs.

elaborate description of Mr. Wolfe’s exten-
sive warehouse, or the details of his enor-
mous business, although it will well repay
any stranger in town to vist Nos. 18, 20, '
22 Beaver street. There we saw Liquors
and Wines in quantities quite ‘ startling. A
stock OfBrandies pure and choice, valued at
$150,000) one hundred and fifty thousands.
lVines of all the choicest vintage, Port, Ma-
deira, Sherr‘ , valued at ($130,000) one hun-
dred and thirty thousand dollars, imported
by Mr. Wolf direct from Madeira, Portugal
and Spain, and also from the London docks.
Mr. Wolf lras also been dealing in Gin for sev-
eral years past. His Schnapps buaiuess has
increased until now his sales amount to
(180,000 (102.) one hundred and eighty thou-
sand dozen of bottles of Schapps annual] —
In five years he will be equally successfully
with his Brandies and Wines. How many
thousands of our mdst clever men are cut off
annually by the poisonous bad liquors !—
How runny thousands of valuable lives
would have been saved, had Mr. Wolf win-
menced importing and bottling pure wines
and Liquors years ago. But it not too late
now. His business merits the patronage of
every lover ofthis species. If he only suc-
ceeds in preventing the sale of one tenth of
the bad liquors now sold, by replacing it with
his pure importations, he will. deserve the
gratitude'of mankind—N. Y. Courier,
