‘ THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects; ‘ and others, and ' the
roved it to be the
cheapest and meet durab e roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lat—It is fire and water proof.
2d—Froin its great'elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—I't is adapted ‘ to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want oi
constant repairs, as is the case with metalnd
other roofs.
4th—Tlie cost is only about OnesHalf that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru»
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Perclla Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight root
for many years.
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders b letter will receive prompt at-
tention. . F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

Old Abe's Preliminary Visit to the White
House. '
{The following song was written by Gen. Clarke,

Lincoln and Hamlin ratification meeting at Burling-
ton at which the Hon. Geo. P. Marsh, resided, b
the"‘Bob o’link Glee Club :"1 p y
One Abr’am there was who lived out in the West,
Estecmed by his neighbors the wisest and best.
And you'll see on a time, "you’ll follow my ditty,
How he took a straight walk up to Washington city.
R! tu, die.
His home was at Springfield, out in Illinois,
Where he‘d long been the pride of the men and “the
' boys :01
But he left his white house with no signs of regret,
For he knew that the people had another to let.
RI tu, te.
So Abra‘m he trudged on to Washington straight,
And reached the White House through the avenue
gate,
Old Buck and his cronies (some chaps from the
South,)
Sat round the East room, rather down in the mouth.
Hi to, are
Old Abe seized the knockcrund gave such a thump,
Buck thought the State ship had run into a stump ;
He trembled all over and turned deadly pale,
"That noise,” said he, "must be made with a rail."
Ri tn, dc.
“Run Lewis, run Jerry, and open the door“—
And the ‘fullctionary’ nearly fell down on the floor—
“There‘s only one man that knocks that way, I‘m
blessed,
And he is got tsrnal old A): or run Was’r.”
Ri ill, &c.
The Cabinet, frightened, sat still in their seats,
While Abr’am, impatient, the rapping repeats.
“1 hope it aint Abe,” said old Bllck, pale and gray ;
"If it is, boys, there'll be here the devil to pay.”
Ri tll, &c.
At last, though reluctant, Buck opened the door,
And found a chap waiting, six feet three or four ;
"I have come,myilne follows," said Abe to the ring,
“To give you fair notice to vacate next spring.”
Bi tu, &e.
“The people have watched you and made up their
mind ‘
That your managem ent’s running the country behind;
You‘re badly in debt, and your plan is r hold one—.
To create a new debt to pay oil‘thc old one.
Hi to, &c.
"You and Douglas have so split your party in twain
That Spalding‘a best glue can’t unite it again:
And both parties are useless~the country don‘t need
’em—
For one goesfm- slavery, and the other ’gm‘notflw-
dam.
lti tn, the.
"So the people conclude that the. best thing they can
do,
Is to right the State ship and hire a new crew.
And engage a new Captain as soon as they can,
And it’s my duty to tell you that I AM THE MAN l“
Ri tn, &c,
“Come in,“ says old Buck, “and sit down Mr. Lill-
coin.—
The remarks you have made are something to think
on ;
I don‘t care a was for the country, that's flat !
But if you’ll beat Douglas you can take my old hat l“
Rl to, &C. '
“Steve Douglas, said Abe, “he belongs in my State,
And] debeat him well in the year '58 ;
IfI catch him in the canvass, he and
What it means when folks talk about ‘ruuniug be-
hind.‘
. Rl tu, do.
“So you needn‘t fear Dug, let him scheme and con-
spire-
He’s as deep in the mud as you‘re in the mire,
And this moral he‘ll learn when his game is all
played : ‘ .
That it is not by ‘ squatting; that ‘soveroigna’ are
made.“
Hi to, the.
“Mr. Lincoln,” laid Buck, “your notions, I think,
Are extremely correct, and I ask you to drink ;
We‘ve the beat of J. B. ‘grsen seal,‘ and old sherry,
And i‘vo no great objection just now to be merry."
Ri tn, the.
Says Abr’am: “My friends, I‘ve come here to say
That the Democratic 'dog' has just had his day :
The people have trusted you more than they ought to,
And all that I ask is a glass of cold water."
Rl to, &c.
“Cold water," said Buck, “we‘ve got it, I think,
Though ’tis not with our partys favorite drink ;
Our tipple we take on its own naked merits,
And we need something strong to keep up our spir-
its“
_ Ill to, die.
The Cabinet searched the White House with a will
But did not find water “put down in the bill ;“ 1
Jerry Black made report. that, without any doubt.
The whiskey was plenty, but water was out.
R! to, &c.
So Abe took his leave and returned to the West,
Leaving buck and his Cabinet somewhat depressed,
For they saw at a glance how ’twould end without
fail ; .
They were bound for Salt River, this time on A turn!

tfl' A correspondent of ihe Chicago J our-
nal writes as followa, under date of Ottawa,
Sept. 8: ' . ‘ ' .
“I think I can safely say that the crowd of
people that gathered here at the Republican
Mass Meeting yesterday numbered fully 30,-
000 and was one of the pleasantest meetings
—so orderly and yet genuinely enthusiastic
-——I have yet attended. 0n the arrival of
Cassius M. Clay arid J. H. Baker, the ‘stars,
of the day, at the depot, they were received
by a large escort of Wide Awakes and oth-
ers, many on horseback, with their Ladies,
and completely surrounding the depot. A
large delegation of Wide Awakes from Mor-
ris and the Great Western Band from Chica-
go, arrived in the same train with Mr. Clay.
They were escorted by one of the biggest
kind of processions to the Grove east of the
town. There wasa delegation of 200 pres-
ent from Ponliac in Livingston County.-
The delegation from all parts .of La Salle
and adjoining counties were huge—some of
them being three miles in length as they
came into town. So vast was the crowd on
reaching the grove, that even the powerful
Voice of Mr. Clay could not be heard by
all ;, and so two other stands wereerectod on
the grounds, from which the Hon. J. H. Ba- '
ker of Minnesota, and others, spoke, at the
same time Mr. Clay was speaking. In the
evening, the parade of some fill) Wide
Awakes illuminated the town with their
bright torches. They ‘hrougbt up‘ at the
Court House Square, where the enthusiastic
crowd was addressed, from one stand by Hi:
Cook of Ottawa, and from another by Mr.
Hopkins of Morris. If you want to see live
and earnestltepubllcans, and lots of them,
you should attend at Lincoln meeting in La
Belle County."

“Well, then if you will persistin taking the

it is incompatible with that delicacy which

that woman’s sphere is not a. political one, and
she had best let such things alone."
“Yes, sir, I think you made a similar re-
mark not long since. Woman’s sphere! That
means she is to stay at home and administer
to the wants of some incarnation of mascu-
line indoleu‘eeand self-complacency, like-
yourself, for instance ;" and Jenny haste ' ed
from the room in answer to a call from he
nursery, while the Judge turned for co in-
tion to his cigar.
Why Judge Compton was an old bachelor
was a question often asked, without a satis-
factory nnswer being received, but that he
was in a confirmed state of single blesseduess
Was beyond doubt. Nevertheless, forty sum-
mers had rested lightly on his head,'for not a
thread of silver glenmed in his brown hair
and his keen eyes had a ray of mischief lurk-
ing in them, that betokened an unfailing
fount of good naturcsomewhere in his capa-
cious heart. . -
A gallant man was the Judge, yet withal
somewhat fastidious in his notions of female
proprietry, and dreading a strong-minded
woman as if she was the arch enemy in dis-
guise. At preseut he was rusticatiug for a
few weeks at the pleasant country home of
one of his relatives, where he was gladly wel-
comed as he was everywhere. .
The quiet of Maple Glen was broken short-
ly after the above conversation, by the advent
of Miss Maude Latimer, a ward of Mr. Smith
who had just “finished” at a fashionable
boarding school. Though cousin Jenny had
much to say to our gallant hero concerning
her darling Maude, yet he paid very little
attention to it, not having, in fact, much
opinion of the intellectual abilities of board-
ing-school misses, as holwas pleased to term
them. Still, as his cousin‘s guest he was
prepared to receive her with defl‘ereuce,
though it must be confessed his anticipa-
tions were not of the most pleashnt nature.
It' was late one evening when Maude arrived
and he only caught a glimpse of a slight fig-
ure in a sombre, gray travelling dress which
figure was rapturously seized and embraced
by Jenny.
The next morning at the breakfast table
they were ceremoniously introduced, and
even the J udges‘s critical eye was at fault as
he scanned the beautiful form before him,
the clear, dark gray eyes, and the brown hair
lying smoothly above the high, white brow.
No sickly sentimentalism was there, but an
earnest, true soul had stamped its impress On
every feature. It would be needless; to . state
all the incidents that marked the progress oi
the friendship between the Judge and Maude.
Had they met in society, the result would
have been different. but. being under the
same roof, thrown into constant companion-
ship and with minds that perfectly accorded,
they could not but be friends.
Maude was well read in the beat literature
of the day, and her cultivated mind had
grasped the grand thoughts of the master
splrits of the age, and made them all her
own. The well furnished library of Maple
Glen was the scene of many [pleasant hours
spent in conversation, or in listening as one
or the other read, to the strains of the old
bards “whose footsteps echo down the cor-
ridor of time."
Then there were long rides _ taken through
the winding woodland roads, and along the
rocky banks of the picturesque river that
wound round Maple Glem’and sails on the
crystal lake embosomcd in the green hills
that fed its clear waters. There were gorge-
ous sunsets to be admired' together, when the
dying day drew arormd him all his royal
drapery of crimson, purple and gold, and
died in a blaze of glory—calm and solemn
moonlight evenings, whose perfect beauty
filled the heart too deep fbr words, and some-
times, yes, ofieunthere wcrc‘tim‘ea when they
saw the sun lift his head‘abovc the the eas-
tern hills, and saw theeartll glorified with a
fresh baptism of loveliness; A
Yes, the ‘ J udge and Maude got along
amazm' gly well together, and cousin Jenny
smiled to herself as she saw it; but liken
prudent woman, as she was, she kept her
own counsel and said nothing. But the sen-
sibilities of our hero were destined to receive
asevere shock. One morning he entered the 1
library in search of some book which he
wished to consult, and discovered Maude en-
gaged in the perusal of something very inter-
esting. evidently, for his entrance failed to
attract her attention. He watched her a mo-
ment and then said;
“May I ask what has the honor of absorb-
ing your thoughts so completely this morn-
ing, Miss Maude ‘2”
Shestartedsliglltly, and laughed as she an-
swelled——
“ 0h, Seward’s last speech! It’s grand,‘
isn’t it ?"
Imagine his feelings, especially when it is
taken into consideration that the Judge was
a Democrat of the most ardent stamp, and
consequently entertained about the some af-
fection for Mr. Seward and his speeches that
a rabid dog might be supposed to have'for a
stream of water. He made a wry face in
spite of himself, and Maude looking up,
caught him in the act.
“ Why, Judge," said she, smiling, “you are
not a Democrat, I hope !"
,“ I am happy to say I am,” replied be,
rather stifily.
“I am ,sorry for you, my friend, I must
say," said Maude, while her eyes danced
with mirth to see how shocked the Judge
looked.
“ And you are"-
“ A Republican, and of the blackcst dye
to be sure,” returned she.
“Well,every one to their taste," and Maude
was alone again.
What Judge Compton‘s meditations were
it would be difficult to say, but that night he
dreamed that Maude was President of the
United States, and in the act of giving her
hand to Seward, who was a big negro with
intensified woolly hair and thick lips, and
Henry Ward Beecher was performing the
marriage ceremony. He was rather shy of
Maude for a day or two, but gradually affairs
turned to their old channel.
One quiet afternoon Jenny and Maude
were alone together, the gentlemen being ab-
sent on some business or other. They were
seated on the piazza with their sewing, con-
versing on feminine topics, or pausing to ad-
mire the quiet beauty of the blue sky, gleam-
ing through the heavy foliage of the trees, or
of the golden bars of sunlight that lay upon
the thick green grass. At length Maude
made some remark that had a tinge of her
political opinions in it and Jenny laughingly
said:
“ Now, Maude, what‘s the use of talking
in that style ? You‘ll marry a. Democrat
some day,and then what will become of your
politics ?”
“ But I shan‘t though," said Maude ener-
getically, “ I wouldn’t marry St. Paul himself
if I knew he was a Democrat!" j
“Why, Maude," said Jenny, her black eyes
enlarging themselves considerably, “you real-
ly look as if you were in earnest! What
are your reasons, may I ask 9"
“ Because I should fear that aman whose
principles would allow him to support such
a system of fraud, oppression and wrung,
would make a poor husband."
“ Nevertheless, I'll‘wager my pet cameo
pin against your new riding hat, that you
will not only receive an offer from a Demo-
crat, within two weeks, but will accept him I"
“ I accept the bet and refuse the man in
advance,” said Maude, bending over her-
work, that her companion might not see the
blushes that burned on her cheek and brow;
“ so consider your cameo as mine.”
“We shall see," said Jenny gully, as she
turned to welcome her husband, who entered
just then.
Judge Compton was to leave Maple Glen
in a few days, and the final catastrophe came
at last. It happened in this wise. The par-
ple gloom of the dying day had just melted
away in the ,silver beams of the rising moon
that threw dancing shadows of trees and
flowers on the velvety lawn, when Maude
and the Judge returned from a ride and sat
down on the vine wreathed piazza. Maude’s
eyes had a sobor, dreamy look in their clear
dear depths, and perhaps the mystic beauty
of the night had cast its spell over them, for
both were silent. At length she looked up
but for an instant, for her companions eyes
were fixed upon her face with an intense
gaze, as if he would read her very soul, and
she looked down as quickly, while a faint
flush crept over her white brow. ' ,
“Maude, I love I'you! Will you be my
wife ‘3”
It was noble, this earnest, manly declara-
tion, and Maude felt it, alter all the unmeau—
ing flattery to which she had so long listen-
ed. A _ moment she hesitated; the some-
thing oi her old sauciness came back, as she
recalled the conversation with cousin Jenny,
and glancing up, she said demurely:
“My dear J udgc, I know of but one objec-
tion.”
“Name it," he cried. eagerly.
“Only this, I made a solemn promise, long
since, never to marry a person of your pecti-
liar political belief.”
“Maude, this is no time for trifling! It
may be nothlugto you, but it is more than
life or death to me. I am serious ill this mat-
ter."
“So am I.“
“And this is all for which you reject me?”.
“All." _
“I have been mistaken ill you, Maude! I
imagined you had a heart."
Another moment and she was alone.—
Thc moon peeped in between the waving
sprays of the vine, just then, and saw some-
thing very much like a tear in Maude‘s eye
as with troubled face she entered the house
and made horny to her cousin‘s quiet room
accosting her thus:
“Jenny, I've done it.”
“Done what ‘9"
“Refused the J udge."
“How, and where? Tell me alllnbout it.”
And as Maude, in a word, told what had
passed, Jenny's gay laugh rang out as she
exclaimed, “Good; I wish I could have seen
his highness when he found out that one
woman had read politics to some purpose.—
What! atearin your eye, Puss? Don‘t feel
bad, we shall see, and ifthe Judge is-not con-
tented why—you will have vindicated your
principles at least." I don't think Maude
was comforted much.
Like most others of his party Judge Comp-
ton’s knowledge “Republicanism was con-
fined to the application of a few choice epi-
thets to it, and the general idea that its fol-
lowers were the embodiment of fanaticam
and violence; while of its real character and
workings he was wilfully ignorant. He left
Maple Glen on the following day and Maude

-by the 4th of March, 8| is probable, the Senate
saw no more of him. It mayhave been an
accident; hilt some Weeks after, he was actu-
ally surprised reading a Republican paper.—
What the results Were, can only be surmised
from a short correspondence that took place
between our hero and heroine, some months
later. It ran thus:
ann Manon: .
One of the best Republicans
on ever knew wishes to come and see you.
ay I come? Comox.
Dunn Jonas:
Come. Manon.
There was a merry wedding in Maple Glen
before Autumn had dofi‘ed her robes of scar:
lot and gold, and the fair face, that the misty
folds ofthe bridal veil enveloped was none
other than that of Maude.
Jude Compton stumps his State for Lincoln
and Hamlin this fall, and minor says that
Maude will be a Senator’s lady before many
years have passed. Reade}, if you are 3a
Democrat, go and do likewise.

Another Important Accession.
The Douglas Uandhiate for Slate’s Attorney in
Illinois Out for Lincoln .’
LETTER anon s. E. FLANNIGAN, ESQ.
BENTON, Illinois, Aug. 25, 1860.
To Voters of the 26 Judicial Circuit, of Illinois:
FELLOW Crrrznxs—Ithas been announced
to you that I am a candidate for the office of
State's Attorney, and it has also been repre-
sented to you by myself and others that Ste-
phen A. Douglas was my first choice to the
Presidency, and I have been doing what little
I could in my own district to influence voters
in his favor,and would .continue to do so, only
Ifind myself aiding a disunionist, and by this
I mean I am indirectly giving my influence,
whatever it may be, to John C. Breckinridge
and Joseph Lane, who have been nominated
and presented before the American . people,
by men who have openly avowed their inten-
tion to dissolve our happy Union. I prefer
then to support a man who has influence and
strength enough to put down the disunion
element which we find ill our happy and at
this time prosperous land. And finding it an
impossibility to accomplish this end by sup-
porting Steplleu A. Douglas, the man we all
so much admire, I am constrained from a
sense of duty to my God and my country,
to tender my feeble efforts to Abraham Lin-
coln, the nominee of the Republican party-.—
This, no doubt, will surprise many of you at
first glance, but I feel assured that when
you come to examine my reasons, many if
not all of you will justify me in the step I am
now taking in the present political battle of
the country, and will upon mature delibera-
tion and reflection, join me in humbling to
the dust the party which seeksto destroy our
Federal Union, and spread civil war, anarchy
and confusion throughout. the land. ‘
The reasons which will guide me in the
present political contest are based upon the
fact that we cannot elect Douglas.
We have four candidates in the field, and
it is now ascertained that Breckinridge pad
Lane will carry every Southern State with
two or three exceptions, and they will be
carried for Bell, unless Douglas carries Mis-
souri. Then Douglas must depend for his
support on the Free States, and we all know
it to be conceded by some of his leading '
friends, that he cannot. Carry more than four“
States, and to do this there will have to be a‘
strong effort in his behalf, hence you see, the
fight is to be made between Breckinridgc and
Lincoln, the two strongest candidates. and it
becomes our duty at once to decide which of
these candidates we prefer. I have decided
to support Lincoln. I would willingly sup-
port Douglas, but a further support of ihinl
can have no other efi‘ect than that of car-
rying the election into the House of Repre
iuridge; or if the House should fail to elect
will elect J 0. Lane, who becomes President
of the United States, and Lane will only be a
tool in the the hands of the Disunionists, to
accomplish their one idea of breaking up the
Confederacy and electing the Slave State to«
gether with our Western country, into a‘ sep-
arate and independent govenment. I say to
you fellowocitizens, that it is my honest judg~
meat, that is the object of the Southern 8%
cessiou movement, and I know this opinion
is not incompatible with the judgment of a
large majority of the men who are now sup-
porting our distinguishd Stephen A. Douglas
and so it is the opinion of the press. Then
this Breckinridge ticket leading to a destruc-
tion of our happy Union, to establish which,
cost our fathers years and years of toil and
bloodshed, I cannot, and will not, directly
nor indirectly,support the Breckinridge ticket.
I know we have men who prefer Bell over
Lincoln. I believe myself John Bell is a
patriot, but this cannot be a sufficient reason
why we should support him in the present
contest, because, like Douglas, he cannot car-
ry but two or three States, and will have no
strength in House of Representatives, hence
you see, unless we support Lincoln, we are
aiding the Disunion Ticket, Douglas has no
strenght in the House of Representatives, and
I ask you in the name of Heaven where are
we to get voters to elect him by the people?
It cannot be done in the the present contest
and I cannot disgrace lily ancestry by sup-
porting a man I believe to be a Disunionist. .
But it is charged that Lincoln is an Aboli-
tionist. This is not true; he only wishes
to prohibit Slavery in the Territories, while
they are in a Territorial condition, and has no
desire or inclination to interfere with Slavery
where it is a local institution and each State
has a right to retain it as long as they please.
And again, it is said that he voted against a
bill in Congress, which was intended to sup.
ply the soldiers in the Mexican war. This is
not true. And I will satisfy any one of it
who will examine his acts while in Congress.
James Buchanan has destroyed the Demo-
cratic party in the present contest—he has
used the influence of his high position, and
exerted all his energies to accomplish this
end. Every man who holds a Federal office,
must give evidenoeof his intention to destroy
the Democratic party, else his head is taken off
a once. From this we behold the usual inci~
dents of approaching tyranny.
Our land is filled with spies and informers,
and detraction and denunciation are the or.
tier of the day. People, and especially ofilcial
incumbents, no longer dare speak ill the fear-
less tones ot' manly freeman, but in the can-1
tiolls Whispers of trembling slaves. The
symptollls of despotism are upon “S, and tin.

country will soon revive. There is much

two years of age, it is the conviction of his

writer thus hits 011‘ the defeated adherents
of the Democratic candidate: -
l.——Now it came to pass in the year eight-

year of the reign of James Fourth, that
there arose in the East aman named Ephraim

Maine.
2.——-Now, Ephraim wasa babbler, and foal-
ch in speech, and his words were like sound-
ing brass and tinkling cymbals. '
3.—Nevertheless, as he was a Douglasite,
and a prophet in his own country, (albeit he
was a false prophet,) he drew many people
after him.
4.——And Ephraim went about from place
to place, exhorting the [people to the end
that he might become a. ruler over them
5.—Now there was a man of Orono, whose
name was Israel, a Lincolnite, and. a man of
mighty power; and the Lincolnites said
among themselves, this man shall be ruler
over us, and we will have him for our gov-
ernor. ‘ ‘
6.—And Israel also exhorted the people.
7.—-And it came to pass that the 0011qu
lies and the Lincolnites met tefietherfio hear
their chosen leaders speak to epeople, and
exhort them to remain firm in the faith.
8.—And Ephraim spake for the space of an
hourand forty minutes. .
9.—And when he had" made an end‘ of
speaking, Israel. arose and spoke with , great
power; and, moreover, read and expounded
the epistle of Moses, the Collector.
‘ 10.—And when Ephraim heard it, he was
sore afraid, and was troubled within him.

' WThe St. Louis Democrat gives the fol-
lowmg account of a Wide Awake parade in
that city:
The freshly organized corps of the St. Lou-
is Lincoln and Hamlln' Wide Awakes, on
Saturday night, made their debut for the
Presidential campaign. In four companies,
with their respectivecaptains, and under the
excellent leadership of Capt. Almatadt, they
mustered numerously for the puma“ of at-
tending the grand Republican gathering at
Illinoistowu. The fickle weather had sud—
ly become chilly and squally, and a tempest
and a small deluge seemed imminent. The
enthusiasm of the corps, however, scarcely
noticed the lowering sky, for the ‘boys’ unan-
ilnously avowed themselves prepared to swim
the Mississippi, if need be, rather than fail in
heartily greeting that night their friends in
Illinois. Witll such aspirit thepreparations
proceeded merrily, the new uniforms-con-
sisting of black oil-cloth capes and glazed
"military caps—were donned with alacrity,
and the compact corps were soon briskly
moving to the animated music ofthe Wash-
ington Silver Cornet Band. They marched
four deep, each bearing a lighted torch, be-
low which floated a small “flag of our
Union” with a portrait of that stalwart Union
man, “long Abe" printed thereon. High
above the troop, and nearly in front, was
borne a new and beautiful mammoth ban-
ner, on one side of which was a superb like-
ness of Lincoln and the designation of the
corps, and on the other the names of the Re -
publican national nominees.
