A'STUPENDOUS VILLAINY 1
We are not, by nature or inclination, a vir-
ulent partizan, and our Democratic readers,
(of whom we are proud to say we have
Inany,) will bear withess that it has been our
wont to treat the opinions of all men with at
least an absence of offensive epithets, when-
ever reference has beEn had thereto in our
columns. In all controversies with the Dem-
ocratic press, and especially in tilting lauccs
with the Farmer, it has ever been our aim
to express our sentiments in such language
as should leave no sting behind to mar our
social fellowship. If, in what. we now have
to say, we may seem to depart from this
course, it is only because protection to the
moral requisites of our common mauhood,3.nd
the sanctities of life, imperiousiy demand it.
The “cheerful alacrity” in falsifying, hereto-
fore exhibited by the Farmer; the infinite
.1 zest with which it always dashed off
into feats of untruthful agility;its art and per-
sistence, its ingenuity and zeal in testifying
to the axiom—“the greater the truth, the
greater the lie“; its sleepless industry and
alertness in perpetrating a fraud and
a forgery; its inexhaustible resources of men-
dacity; its wfi'gglings and twistings; its
worming and squirming, to attest its utter
atheism of truth ; has by its sublimity of im-
pudencc and grandeur of prevarication, eith-
er provoked our mirth or challenged our ad-
miration. But in its issue of the 2lst, it has
added to its former attributes a depth of
meumwss, a relentlessness and degradation
of honorable partizan warfare, which beggars
the proudest achievements of the New York
Express. We quote as follows, its article en-
tire-:—
Carl Schurz.
We see that Carl Schurz is announced to speak in
New Haven in October, and the fact. is blazed forth
by the Abolition Republican papers, accompaincd by
audatory remarks, and advising all to go and hear
“the eloquent adopted son of Wisconsin.” He is
~acknowlcdged as one of theleading and most. prom-
inent advocates of the Republican principles, and of
course whatever he says is to be construed as being
the sentiments of that party. He came to this coun-
tryain 185], fleeing from the oppression of his native
land to enjoy those rights which were denied him at
. home; He has prospered in the profession which he
. has chosen, he has lived under free institutions, but.
has prostituted one of the great‘est privileges wc en-
joy—freedom of speech—4n reviling the memories of
those illustrious men whom Americans are taught
f romchildhood to reverence, and to whose acts and
lives every father points his off-spring as examples
of patriotism and self-denial worthy of emulation——
- At each returning anniversary of American Inde-
pendence, that memorable document which placed
America in the family of nations is read, and the
names of those who pledged their “lives, their for-
tunes, and their sacred honor,“ in its defence. Who
can but. keep sacred their memories and pay homage
to their merits? What ought sooner to make the
blood of everytruc patriot boil than to hear oppro-
brious epithets heaped upon them? Who does not
feel that their reviler is but a traitor, and should
meet a traitor-”s fate ? But it seems there are those
who do revile them, and their mad ravings are receiv-
ed with laghter and applause. Carl Schurz, one of
the apostles of Abolition Republicanism, in a speech
at Springfield; Mass, used the following language:
“ There is your Declaration of Independence,”
said he, a diplomatic dodge, adopted merely for the
purpose of excusing the rebelliouscolomes in the
eyes of civilized mahk'nd. There Is your Declara-
tion of Independence, no longer. the sacred code'of
the rights of man, but a hypocriticalfpiece of special
pleading, drawn up by a batch of art 111 pettifoggers.
who, when speaking of the rights of man, meant but
the privileges of a set of arIstocratIc slaveholders.
but styled It the ‘rights of man,’ in_orde_r to throw
dust in the eyes of the world, and to InveIgle npble-
hearted fools into lending them 2nd and aegistance.~—
(Applause) These are your boasted Revolutionary
sires, no longer heroes and sages but accomplished
humbuggers and hypocrites; who said one thng and
meant another; who passed counterfeit sentiments
as genuine, an obtained arms and money and assis-
tance and sy athy on false pretencesl There is
your great American Revolution, no longer the
champion of universal principles, but a mean, Yan-
kee trick—[bursts of applause and laughtcfl—a
wooden nutmeg-the most impndent Imposmon ever
practised upon the whole world i” (Applause)
Read and ponder upon this, Americans l Will you
listen to such a reprobate? Read and ponder upon
it, adopted citizens, and say whether a man who thus
rev lies and slanders that instrument which a Lafay-
ette, :1 Montgomery, and a Steuben'fought to defend
is fit to be heard ‘2 and whether a party that lands and
praises him is worthy of your support ? This is the
Abolition Republican orator whose coming is trum-
pctcd abroad, whom you are invited to hear,-—“the
vile slandcrer of all that is good and holy, and sacred
in the memories of your children."
Democrats l Union, conservative men !—wbcn
you are invited to support the candidates of the Abo-
lition Republican party—a party that represents it-
self as a national, union-loving part y—aek why do its
leaders teach and its members applaud such atrocious
sentiments? and why is such a vile slaudcrer cm-
played to advocate its cause i”
We read this article with utter amazement
but knowing how easily and speedily the
fraud would be exposed, made no rcfcrcn cc
to it in our last, supposing we should insult
the intelligence of the most illiterate demo-
ocrat in Norwalk by contradicting so self-
cvident and bare-faced a fraud. Our amaze-
ment has only been surpassed to learn the
effort, the manner and the extent with which
this INFAMOUS LIE has been, by men who
know better, wormed into the credulity of
our uninformed foreign citizens, like a cork-
screw into a cork. It is not our purpose, and
we trust in God, it never will be, to pander-
to the passions or prejudices of those who
have fled from foreign despotisms and after
a thousand leagues of ocean peril landed up-
on our shores, where their children and our
children are to commingle and become the
possessors and rulers of this our common
heritage of FREEDOM—much less shall we
ever cringe and fawn about these deluded
men just previous to an election, for the poor
satisfaction of having duped a well-meaning
man out of a vote. But, fellow citizens of
foreign birth, we appeal to that intelligence
you unmistakcably do possess, to look into
this matter, investigate for yourselves, and
see if these things are so! And if, perchancc
in the exercise of your undoubted rights and
privileges, you should assert your manhood
and throw off the shackles of sham democra-
cy, we promise you that the same bowl of
abuse poured out upon CARL SCHUnz, shall
descend upon your heads from the same'
fawning sycophants. Do you doubt it I" ,If'
so, try it. >
But to the matter in point. A possible
apology might have been found for the Far-
mers fraud in the minds of its friends had it
not, after having been called upon by the
Standard to correct its statement, subsequent-
ly repeat its vile rascality over again, as
follows 2— ' '
That Great Admiration!
'L‘l‘he editor of the Standard last evening endeavor-
.ed to show that Carl Schurz,one of the great apostles
.of‘ Abolition Republicanism, is an enthusiastic adv ]
mircrof the “men ol'lhcllcvolution and lbcirwm‘ks.“
People are generally inclincd to judge a tuna by his
deeds ; and when a person, before an immense audi-
chcc, openly revilcs and denounces a body of men
and their acts, it will nccd more than the shallow
sophistry of the Standard editor to prove that he did
not mean what he said. in noticing Schurz‘s speech
that paper remarks thus :
Sofarfrom ridiculing the men of .thc Revolution
and their works, Schurz Is an cnthuslastic admirer of
these men. A more eloquent dclcndcr of their prin-
ciples can hardly be found lll this or any other lam].
This rcads vcry well—providing Schurz. did not
contradict it bimsclfby his own words. In speaking
of “the men ofthc Revolution and their works." he
said:
There is your Declaration of Independence, a diplo~
Inatlc dodve,adoptcd merely for the purpose of excus-
Ing tlrc rcfiiclIIous colonies in the eyes of cmhzcd
mankind. There Is your Declaration of Indcpcnd-
ence, no longer the sacred code of the rights of man
but, a lIy}p0crItIcal pIcce of special plcadmg, drawup
by a hate I of artful pettifoggcrs, who when speaking
of the rlghts of man, meant but the privtlegcs of a
set of arIstocrntic slaveholdcrs, but styled It the
‘rIghts of Inan,’ in order to throw dust in the cycs of
the world, and to inveigle noble-hearted fools into
lending them aid and assrstance. (Applause) These
are your boasted Revolutionary s1rcs no longer bc-
rocs and sages, but accomplished humbuggcrs and
hypocrites; who said one thing and meant
another ; who passed countcrfclt sentiments as gou-
nine, and obtained arms and money and assistance.
and sympathy on false_ prctcnces! There Is your
great American Ileyolution, no longer the champion
of universal )rIIICIplcs, but amcan, Yankee trick—
[bursts of app ausc and lauglttcr]~—a wooden nutmeg
-—thc most Impudcnt imposition cvcr pracl Iscd upon
the whole world!” (Applause)
The editor of the Standard must certainly be pos-
sessed of great, very great powers of discernment to
perceive any admiration of “thcmen of the Revo-
lution and their works” in Schurz‘s remarks, And
the next. time he feels like blowing about Schurz’a
patriotism, we advise him to read the opinion of that
reviler of the tried and sterling men of ouchvolutIon
as expressed by himself.”
Is the man a fool and a knavc, or a luna—
tic, or potentially all three ! Now, here is a
deliberate, calculated, bare-fazed and brazen
atrocity ofLrIxe—ycs, LYING is the word—
which should cause a tinge of shame to man-
tle the check of the Editor of ' the Farmer
and all its friends—if such a wilful calum-
niator can haVe friends. No Editor, more
than the private citizen, may wantonly out-
rage truth or malign the personal character
of any man, whatever his opinions, afiilia-
tions or beliefs, and sad and mournful will
be the condition of society when men, res-
pected, and reputed honorable, shall cease
to loathe and abhor such asystcm of political
scound'relz'sm as herein inaugurated by the
Bridgeport Farmer.
Now for the purpose of seeing what that
truly wonderful man did say, and for the
purpose of exposing thcsc Iualignautlibcllers,
and also to exhibit some of his eloquence,
we copy that portion of his Springfield
speech which has been so shamefully pervert-
ed. The paragraph indicated W is the
one which hasbeen taken and publlsncd by
itself with the false statement that Mr. Schurz
believes and declares as his own opinion
that the Declaration of Independence is
a diplomatic dodge &c., &c. Every reader
will perceive the reckless and dishonorable
falsehood as well as the stupidity of the
charge:
“ Let vour imagination carry you back to the year
1776. You stand in the hall ol' the old colonIal court
house of Philadelphia. Through the open door you
see the continental congress assembled; the moment
of a great decision is drawing near. Look at thecar-
nest "faces of the men assembled therc, and consulcr
what you may expect of them. The phIlosoplIy ol
the eighteenth century counts many of them among
its truest adepts, They welcomed heartily Iu 'theIr
scattered towns and plantations the new Ideas
brought forth by that sudden progress of humanity,
and, meditating them in the dreamy sohtude of VII--
gin nature, they had enlarged the compass oftheIr

apply the experience of past. centuries to the new
problem which they attempt to solve. Sec others

mon sense would call its truest rcpresentatnps—
Wont to grapple with the dangers and dIflIchltIes of
an early settlcr's life, or if inhabitants of young up-
rising cities,wont to carry quick projects Into speedy
execution, they have come regardless of obstacles
and used to strenuous activity. The constant neces-
sity to help themselves has developed Ille‘ll‘ Incnlal
independence; and inurcd to polItIcul strife bythc
continual defense of their colonial self-govchrmncnt
they have at last become familiar with the Idea, to
introduce into practical existence the principles
which their vigorous minds have quIctly built up
into a theory,
The first little impulses to the general up -bcav-
ing ofthc popular spirit—the tea tax, thcstamp act
—drop into insignificaucc ; they are almost forgotten
the revolutionary spirit has risen far above them. It
disdains to justify itself with .pctty pleadings; it
spurns diplomatic cquivocation; 1L. places the claim to
independence upon the broad basm of eternal rights,
as self-evident as broad as the world, as common as
the air of heaven. The struggle of the colonies
against the usurping government of Great Britain
has risen to the proud dimensions of a struggle of
man for liberty, and equality. Behold, five men are
advanclnv towards the table of the president. First
Thomas ctl‘crson, whose philosophical spirit grasps
the generality of things and events ; then Benjamin_
Franklin, the great apostle of common sense, the
clear wisdom of real lIfe beaming in his serene eye;
then the undaunted John Adams, and two others.—
Now Jefferson reads the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and loudly proclaims the fundamental princi-
ple upon which it rests—“Allmen are created free
and equal!” It is said; history tells you what it
meant. The aceptre of royalty is flung back across
’ the ocean; the prerogatives of nobility are troddeh
into the (lust ; every man a king, every man a baron;
in seven of the original colonies thc schackles
of the black man struck off ; almost every-
where thc way prepared for gradual emancipation.—
“No recognition of the right of property in man 1”
says Madison. “Let. slavery be abolished by law!"
says Washington. Not only the supremacy of old
England is to be shaken off, but a new organization
of society is to be built up, on the basis of liberty
and equality. That is the Dcclartion of Independ-
ence! That is the American Revolution. All men
are free and equal 1 Not even the broad desert of the
Atlantic-Ocean stops the triumphant shout. Behold
the nations of the Old World are rushing to arms.—
Bastiles are. blown into the dust as by the trumpets
of Jericho, and like a pillar of fire by night and a pil-
lar of cloud by day, the great watchword of the
AmericanRevolution shows forever the way to strug-
gling humanity. [Long continued applapsej All
men are created free and equal! ll ence the super-
natural power in these seven words ‘3 .
Turn your eyes away from the sublIme spectacle of
1776, from that glorious galaxy of men whose hearts
were large enough for al mankind, and let me recall
you to the sober year of 1857. There is Springfield,
the capital of Illinois, one of thoseStates which owe
their greatness to an ordinance orIginally framed by
the some Inan whose hand wrote the Declaration of
Indcpndeucc. In the hull of the assembly, there
stands Mr. Domrlas, who initiates an eager crowd
into the mysteries of “popular sovereignty.” He
will tell you what it meant, when the Inen of 17%
said that “all men are created free and equal.” Ilc
savs:
“No man can indicate ill}? character, the motives,
and the conduct of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, except upon the hypothesis that they
referred to the white race alone, and not to the Afri-
can, when they declared all men to have been crea-
ted equal-that they were speaking of Brillx/l sub-
jects on. this continent being equal to British sub-
jacts born and residing in Great. Briluiu—tllat they
were enlitled to the same inalienable rights, and
among them were enumerated life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of independ-
ence was adopted merely for the purpose of justify-
ing the colonists III the eyes of the civilized world in
withdrawing their allegiance from the British crown
and dissolving their connection with the mother
countf‘y.” _
What? Is that all ‘r Is that little heap of quick-
sand the only substructure on which a new organiza-
tion ofsocity was to be built? the only foundation
upon which the proud and pondcrous edifice of the
United States rests ‘: Thcy did, then, not mean all
men, when they said allmcu. They intended, per-
haps, even to disl'rnnchlzc those lI‘chIlacks who in
five ofthc original thirteen colmncscnjoyed the right
of voting. They meant but the thte race. Oh, no,
by no means, the whole thte race ; not the Germans
not the French. not. the Scandinavians; they meant
but British subjects. “British subjects on this con—
tinent being equal to British subjects born and resid—
ing on the other side of the great water !” [Laugh-
ter and :Ippalusc.] .
W There is your Dclaratlon of Independence, a
diplomatic dodge, adopted merely for the purpose of
excusiug the rebellious colonies in the eyes of civil-
izcd mankind. There is your Declaration of Inde-
pendence, no longer the sacred code of_thc rights of
man, but an hypocritical piece of special pleading,
drawn up by a batch of artful pettifoggers, who when
speaking of the rights of man, meant but. the prIvil-
cgcs of a set of aristocratic slavcholdcrs but styled it
“ the rights of man,”. in order to throw dust Into t In
eyes of the world, and to invcigle noble-hearted fools
into lending tbcIn aid and assistance. [Applallsc,]
These are your boasted revolutionary sircs,no longer
heroes and sages. but accomplished uumbuggers and
hypocrites, who said one thing and mean another '
who passed counterlen. sentiments as genuine, and
obtained arms and money and assistance and sympa-
thy on false prctenccs! There is your great Ameri—

This is the way Mr. Douglas wants you to read
and understand the proudest pages of American his-
tory! Thisis the kind of history Wltll which he
finds it necessary to prop his doctrine. of popular
sovereignty! That is what he calls vindicating the
character and the motives and the conduct. of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence. Thus
he did not blush to slander Jctl‘crson, who, when
speaking of his country, meant the world, and when
speaking of his follow-citizens, meant mankind ; and
Franklin, in whose clear head theory and practlcc
were the samehuud who, having declared “all men
to be created'f’re‘cvand equal,” became the first Presi-
dent of the tirst'grcatAbolition Society; and John
Adams, that Representative ‘of. that state which
abolished slaveryitwithin its lIInIts_ with one great.
stroke of ilegislation; and Washington, who do-
clared it. to be “his fohdest WIsh to see slavery abol-
ished by law,” and aflixed to the Declaration of In-
dependence the broad signature of his heroic sword;
and Madison, who deemed It “absurd to admit the
idea of property in man ;” and of the framers of the
Constitution. who took care not to disgrace that
instrument with the word “slavery," and before
adopting it finally, blotted out from the extradition
clause the word “servitude,” (wowedly becuure it
signified the condition of a slave, and .substltutcd
,the word “service,” avowedly because it. signified
the condition. of a freeman. Thus Mr. Douglas
dares to speak of all these true men, who, after hav-
ing proclaimed their principles in the Declaration of
Independence, endeavored to introduce them Into
practical life in almost every State, in the way of
gradual emancipation: That they have failed In
this, is it a fault of theirs? .It. shows not that they
were not the less great and sincere, but that subse-
quent generations were hardly worthy of so noble
an ancestry. [Applausc.]
The New Haven Palladium most truly
says that no sane man of ordinary intelli-
gence, reading this extract, oven without the
context, can fail to see that this is a piece of
irony, designed to show the cli'cct of such
doctrines as those maintained by Senator
Douglas. But no honest man—no one who
would not dclibcrutcly pcrpctralc forgery—-
could publish that extract. by itself, as a spec-
imen of thc views of Schurz, leaving off the
sentences that immcdialcly follow, in which
the speaker says: “This is the inform-clonal
thatJmlgo Douglas gives to the Declaration
of Independence ! This is its meaning and of-
fcct, il'lIis doctrines are sound, and if our
fathers, when they said all mm were born
free and equal, meant only that they were
equal in political rights to the other subjects
of King George.”
It isnotto our tastcto speak harshly of a co-
tcmporary. The fact that the whole corps of
those pcnsioucd papers who have stood by
this corrupt and wickcd administration; who
have defended the Lecompton villainy, the
Kansas outrages, the Pcmbina election
frauds, the Live Oak contracts, the Philadel-
phia anchwYorkNavaard frauds, the Wil-
lctts Point and Fort Snelling Swiudl cs, are

bcl WITHOUT Knowruo m; WAS LYING. The
Bell-,cverctt Boston Courier,'corrects, regrets
and apologizes for its publication in their
columns. The Farmer reiterates its libcl,
becauscSchurz has become a dangerous antag-
tagonist. Now,that conviction is forced upon
it,wlll 2'(,DARE I'r,publish a retraction, or even
give its readers the context of the paragraphit‘
published from his speech? “’0 pause for a
reply.
Now.lct us see who and what this CARI.
SCIIUIIz is and has been. The N. Y. Post
gives the following outline of bis.charactcr:
Carl Schurz.
Carl Schurz, whose scathing review of
Douglas’ career in his speech at the Cooper
Institute last Thursday evening has attracted
so much attention, is a native of Bonn, in
Germany. He received a collegiate educa-
tion under Kinkel, passing much of his earli—
cr life in Dusseldorf. In the revolutionary
movements of 1848, Mr. Schurz took an ac-
tive part, and in 1849 was sentenced to death
for treason to the state. His escape from the
pursuit of the Prussian troops was quite re-
markable, as for three days and nights he
was concealed on the top of a building occu-
pied by the soldiers, unablc to abandon his
forced assumption of the character of St. ‘4]-
Inon Stylitcs, lest he. should be discovered.—
On the fouItiI night, however, he took ad-
vantage of the darkness and a rain storm, to
leap from the roof, and managed, by the con-
nivauce of some friends and by an unpleas-
ant passage through a sewer, to escape. He
then went to Paris, where hcrcmained seve-
ral years.
Professor Kinkel, his old friend, about this
time became obnoxious t0 the Prussian gov-
ernment, and though a man of education, a
poet, and accustomed to the luxuries of afflu-
ence, was imprisoned as a common felon in
the Spandan prison, near Berlin, and son-
tenced to hard labor, Schurz determined to
release him, and with forged passports pro-
ceeded to Berlin. Six weeks were occupied
in the vicinity of'Spandan, and at last, having
bribed the jailor, Schurz succeeded in carry-
ing ofi‘ Kiuke]. They hastened to the sea
shore and embarked for England.
In 1851 Mr .Schurz came to ,this countr '
and took up his abode in Philadelphia. lie
was at that time almost ignorant of the Eu-
glish language, for although he had been
for some time in England. be associated al-
most cxclusivcly with Germans. OII arri-
ving in this country, however, the necessity
of learning our language at once became too
obvious to be overlooked, and the German
exile set to work reading nothing but En-
lisb. To his constant perusal of the daily
papers, Mr. Schurz attributes much of his
success with ourlanguagc. He now speaks
it withapcrl‘ccl. fluency, correctness of pro-
nunciation, and a'familiarity with our idiom-
atic phrascology. Indeed, with the excep-
tion of Ruffini, the Italian writer, and Kos-
suth, we remember no fiireigncr who has
more completely mastered the English.—
As regards accuracy of pronunciation, Mr.
Schurz is far in advance of the illustrious
Magyar,
After remaining in Philadelphia some
tlucc orfonr years, Mr. Schurz removed to
Wisconsin, and commenced the practice of
the law in Milwaukie. His residence is,
howovcr, at Watcrtown, some distance in
the interior of the state. It is only two or
three years since Mr. Schurz made his first
political speech in English, in one of the
western towns. He was successful, and
since that time has spoken frequently in 'all
parts of the country. It may interest those
who attended the Cooper Institute ratifica-
tion meeting, to learn that his speech deliv-
ered on the occasion was written on a Lake
Erie steamboat during a day’s dctcntion at.
Detroit by a storm.

cal displays. The expense of the pageant is
estimated at $20,000, which has already bm-u ‘,
collected. Two hundred barrels of oil have
also been purchased whcrcwilh to fill torch-
cs. Beyond question this will provc the
grandest political demonstration ever wil-
nessed in this or any other country. Ilart-
ford, as the original Club, leads the vast pro-
cession of over 30,000 torches, New Haven
com‘csin the second subdivision, and so on.
The Norwalk Club has chartered the
steamer Confidcncc, and will be joined as we
lcarn, by the New Canaan, lVilton, George—
town, Ridgcficld,Bcthcl and DanbuI-y Clubs.
The boat is to land thcm nearest the line of
position, whidl is thus stated in the official
order:
Third Subdivision, comprising the Wide
Awakes of the Twenty-first Ward, New
York City, the State of Connecticut, excep-
tingNew Haven and Hartford, the State of
Rhode Island, on Twenty-second st.rcct,sout II
side, right on Fifth Avenue, at 01-0 o‘clock,
P. M., precisely.
Gen. J. H. IIobcrt Ward, the Grand Mar-
shal, who has seen service in Mexico, and is
Commandant of the Scott Lifc Guard, dc-
clarcs that the procession will be seven hours
passing a given point, and that those in the
first rank may be at home and fast - asleep
long before the last division has started from
its parade ground. We advise all who can,
to go down and witness it.

The County Fair.
The exhibition proved very satisfitctory,
we believe, to the large number of visitors in
attendance. The tent was partially prostr: -
ted in a rain gust on Tuesday evening, but
soon righted by the indefatigable Brothwell.
The display in the tent was very meritorious,
but not so large as we had expected to see.-
From this vicinity Morris d: Doty exhibited
a patent hoop skirt manufactured expressly
for their trade, which received the praises of
the Ladies, and of course must have deserved
them. Selleck had a specimen of Ledger Ru-
ling and Binding which we never saw sur-
passed. In thc fruit deparmeut our friend
\Viuslow sent up from his palatial rcsidcnce
some of the most tempting grapes we ever
saw anywhere, of the severalhot-house va-
rieties, and of course brought down the first
prcmium as well as the wonder and praise of
the multitude.
Chas. Taylor of Norwalk, twu monster
melons, one weighing 3811151., we believe.
E. V. A. Cnichcster an eqtra fine Colt, and
for a wonder the judges so decided. A Mr.
Daily of New Canaan, in addition to his su—
perior double team, had a splendid Stallion,
which failed to take the first premium on ac-
count of not having stood the past year in
the County.
Pccuniarily the Fair was a success; and
the "fenciug-in"-arraugcmcnt Inost capital.—
Thc Jeffersoniau, to whom we are indebted
for the list. of premiums, says “the Annual
Address of Cyrus Northrop, Esq, was one of
the best ever delivered in the county. It was
ordered, to be printed. Fricud Comatock, of
Bethe], also said some good things."
The balloon busted. into as many fragments
as the democracy, while being inflated on
Friday, and we left it lying in shreds all
about the field. It Would have been fool
hardiness to attempt an ascension during
such a gale, of wind as was blowing all day
Friday. But we ‘must close this galloping
review till another week.

Rare Novelty for Norwalk.
It gives us pleasure to announce that such
negotiations have been concluded with the
DRAYTON PARLOR OPERA TROUPE
as will secure. one of their rare and elegant
entertainments on Wednesday evening week,
as a sort of (and indeed most fitting) inaugur-
ation of Locxwoon‘s HALL, beyond question
the most beautiful one in the state. This has
been accomplished by a guarantee sale of a
sufficient number of reserved seats in $5 sub-
scriptions to save the company from loss. It
comprises a. full Orchestra of the rarest musi-
cal talent and their actual expenses are $135
per day, sothat the necessity of such a course
becomes apparent. But to those acquainted
with their entertainments 50 cents a seat will
bear no proportion to the refined and instruc-
ttvc amusement furnished. Our limits only
permit us to say this week, that no such truly
rare and elegant a delight. was. ever afl‘oxdcd
a Norwalk audience. .

The other is “Everett‘s Life of Washington."
This offering of the acknowledged scholar and orator
of our times was prepared as a contribution to
Black’s ncw Edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
The publishers had designated the late 1.0 rd Macau-

Encyclopedia, in its new edition and had made pro~
positions to Macaulay to undertake the task. The
cugagemcmts already pressing upon the great essay

vitI-d to furnish the article in questionaud in it he
has nobly acquitted himself ofthc commission.

This author is conceded to possess the

France, although this is said to be the first of
his novels cvcr t 'anslatcd into English, and
is the first of a series of translations of his

Political N ates.
The Washington Constitution, organ of
the :ulminlstration, openly advocated in last
Friday morning’s issue the secession of the
Southern States in the event ol‘Mr. Lincoln’s
election. . ‘
Henry Winter Davis and Ilenry W. Hod-
man,(the latter serge'ant-at-arms ofthc House)
openly takes a position which it is said a
large body of the Maryland Opposition are
ready to assume, namely, of fhlling into the
support of Mr. Lincoln’s administration, as
they think he will be elected. Mr. Hoffman
made a speech at Cumberland, Md, last week,
in which he presented Mr.Liucoln as an hon-
est man who had said, and with unquestion-
able sincerity, that ”all the guaranties those
(our) fathers gave it (slavery) should he, not
crud ingly, but fully and fairly maintained.
Mr. Davis even goesso far, in writing to the
Bell-Everett men of Easton, 43.,‘as to say
that hereafter he shall speak directly in fa~
vor of Lincoln, '

, Opening of the Campaign at. South No'r-
walk.
One of the finest political demonstrations ‘
witnessed hcrcabouts during the present
campaign, was the meeting at South N orwalk
on Thursday night last. The Wide Awake
' Clubs ofWilton and Georgetown camcdown, ,
1 and uniting with the South Norwalk and
Norwalk Clubs at the
Ely's llull, followed by quit ' a crowd of ca-
gcr citizens. Mr. Ferry addressed himself
more especially to the Wide Awakcs, ani-
madvcrtiug upon their duties, thCir responsi-
bilities and privileges. Messrs. Fowler, Mer-
riam and Selleck, adding their talent in the
way of singing, to the general good time.—
All cr which our (to—pat riot to the Chicago
(‘onvcntion took the stand and delighted the
people, as is his wont, for over an hour.
Mr. \Voodford began by stating that every
political canvass had its prominent issue, for
the timc overshadowing and absorbing all
others. The issue of 10-day is “\Vhat action
shall the Federal Government take with re-
gard to Slavery ‘3" Yet here at the very
thrcshold of the inquiry, tho self-styled Cou-
stitutional Union party meet us with the as-
sertion that this question is of so little im-
portance that statesmen should not ask or
patriots answer it.
He showed its importance by proving that
every political question of the day is “voted
up or down” according as its settlement will
affect the interests of Slavery and Slave la-
bor. l-le instanccd the Homestead Bill, the
admission of Kansas, the acquisition of Cu-
ba, «kc.
Slavery is a matter of political consider. -
tion in three aspects. lst, as it exists in the
separate States. 2d, as it claims to be a Na-
tional institution and asks admission into the
Federal Territories. 3d, as it incidentally
seeks protection in the course of the ordina-
ry legislation of the government.
He stated that political duties wcrc justly
determined and limited by political responsi-
bilities. Hence that the action of the Fede-
ral Government upon Slavery was to be
marked out according to the responsibility
resting upon that Government for its exis-
tence and extension. Responsibility islimi-
ted by opportunity, and no man and no Gov-
ernment is responsible for that over which
they have no power.
Therefore, in examining these three heads,
the power of the Federal Government must
be kept I view.
As to the first, the existence of Slavery in
the separate States, he claimed that Slavery
existed thcrcin by virtue of the local laws
thereof, that over it the Federal Government
had no power of action, and consequently no
responsibility rested upon the Government.
He hoped that the day would come when
Slavery shall be no more, but this must. come
by action of States in their individual capac-
ity, and not by the coercion of the Federal
Power.
As to the second head, the claim of Slave-
ry to be recognized as National, and admit-
tcd into the common Territories, be denied
that either the Constitution or the action of
the Fathers warranted such claim. Hc as-
serted that the prevention of Slavery in the
Territories did not take from the settlers
thereof any right, but simply prohibited them
from committing a wrong. The power of
Congress over the Territories is provcn by
the words of the Constitution and the acts of
our early Statesman. To refuse to exercise
that power when it is possessed, is to shirk a
responsibility. which as men and patriots “'6‘
cannot innocently do.
As to the third aspcct in which Slavery
presents itself, viz: as it incidentally seeks
protection in the ordinar ' legislation, and in
the patronage of the Government, he said,
that wherever upon any question the interests
of Freedom and Slavery clash, the settle-
ment of such question must of necessity be
for the one and against the other. If this is
so, upon which side will freemen stand? Is
it right, morally or politically, to use the
powers of a professedly free government for
the advancement of Slavery? Upon every
such question, within constitutional limits,
the power and the responsibility of a choice
betwr-en Freedom and Slavery is with the
Federal Government, and primarily with
each citizen. Can we, be asked, with Breck-
enridge vote for Slavery, or with Douglas be
sublimely indifl‘creut, or with Bell and Eve-
rett shut our eyes and refuse to act? Shall
We not with Lincoln stand fast by Freedom
and Free Labor, “having faith that right
makes might ‘r"
He then reviewed the several parties and
candidates, pointing his remarks with well
timed illustrations.
At the conclusion, the lVide Awakcs gave
three. rousing cheers for Speakers, and three
more for our candidates,when they re-formcd
and again marched to the Bridge.
