' CEMENT ROOFING.
/ \HIS article has been llun'ouglily tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ot‘ycars has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lat—It is fire and water proof.
2(l—From its great elasticity his not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4th——The cost is only about One-Half 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 dcsideratum 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 Pcrcha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.
Specimens of the Rc—ofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

The Little Frock and Shoes.
BY BEN]. 11. MITCHELL
A little frock but slightly worn,
or blue and white dclaine,
With edging round the neck and sleeves.
Lay folded neat and plain ;
Beside a little pair of shoes
With here and there a flaw,
Lay half concealed among the things
In mother‘s bureau draw !
Summer had passed away front earth.
With all her sweetest ties;
The birds had left their summer haunts
For more congenial skies;
The twilight breezes softly played
Among the dews of even——
An angel left his home on high
To gather flowers for Heaven.
The angel near and nearer came,
Where sister sick did lie ;
Then gently fanned her faded cheek,
And pointed to the sky.
The morning shone upon the bed,
The Autumn wind blew nee—
The angel moved its silver wings,
And whispered—“Come with me."-
We gathered round her dying bed,
With hearts to weep and pray;
And many were the tears we shed,
When sister went away;
“No bitter tears had she to weep,”
No sin to be forgiven;
But closed her little eyes to sleep,
To open them in Heaven.
We laid her in the earth’s green breast,
Down by the village green.
Where gently sweeps the dewy grass,
And summer flowers are seen ;
And often when dear mother goes
To get her things to use,
I see her drop a silent tear
On sister‘s frock and shoes.

The Golden Sunset.
0——
BY HENRY \V. LONGI‘ELLOVF.
The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but a narrow strip between.
0f land and shadow lies.
The cloud-like rocks, the cloud-like rocks,
Dissolved in glory float,
And midway of the radiant flood
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky;
The sky a sea as well,
And which is earth and which the heavens
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for us life's even hour
Sol‘t fading shall descend,
May glory, born of earth and heaven,
The earth. and heaven blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit float,
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins,
The soul shall scarcely know.

A Paris Story,
Queer things happen in Paris every day,
and, though many of the strangest of them
never see the light, yet now and then a sin-
gular occurrence is revealed, and makes a
nine days’ wonder. A young viscount, left
to the care of himself and a large fortune by
the death of both his parents, led so prodigal
a career that in two years he fbund himself
pennilcss, and the doors of a rich uncle
closed against him. Of course, the pretend-
ed friends of his prosperity had all flown
like summer birds. He could obtain no em—
ployment and starvation was actually staring
of one thing that he could do. He was pas-
sionately'fond of horses, In the days of his
and prided himself on handling his curry -
comb more dexterously than his cleverest
English groom. This, by the way, is one of
the accomplishments of the fashionable youth
of the day. After having reflected seriOusly
he decided that the best thing he could do
was to drive ‘a coach, and not caring to en-
gage as a gentlemans's coachman, be con-
cluded to drive a public carriage. A rem-
nant of self-love induced him to let his
whiskers and mustaches . grow, and this
changed his appearance so that he defied rc-
coguition. '
He soon fell into the regular routine of
his life, smoked a pipe, and was completely
reduced to the level of his vocation. He of-
ten drove old acquaintanceo but not a soul
recognized in the rough driver the once bril-
liant and fastidious viscouut. But even as a
coachman his career was not destined to be
uncheckered. ' A robbery had been commit-
‘ted in his section of the city, and though the
rogue escaped, he had been seen and “spot-
ted.” Unluckily, our noble whip answered
exactly to the description of the robber, and
an agent of the police took him to the lock-
up. The next day he was examined by the
prefect. His license bore his name,but with-
out any title or “de;” for he had dropped
both. The repeated questions of the judge,
who insisted ofi knowing his antecedents,
revealed to him the gravity of his situation;
and when he finally learned that he was ac-
cused of theft, the gentle blood in his body
revolted.
“You don’t know whom you are speaking
to l" he exclaimed.
“Of course, to some prince, in disguise,”
replied the judge. “We are familiar with
that trick."
“You’re speaking to the Viscount deB——-
sir. He has wasted his property, has been
guilty of numberless follies, but no one ever
questioned his honor.
The magistrate refused to credit this de-
fense, and the young man was taken back to
prison. Still, as he persisted in his story, he
was asked, in order to embarrass him, if he
was a relative of the Marquis de B —.
“He is my uncle,” replied the fallen Vis-
count. "Confront me with him, and you
will see that he will recognize me.“
The Marquis was applied to for informa-
tion. He was very angry, said that he had a
wild nephew who had disgraced his family,
but. that he believed him incapable of theft,
wihsed to see the person who claimed to rep-
resent him, and said that it was unnecessary,
forifhe only sawa line of his handwriting
he should recognize it. I
When the prisoner was infbrmed of the
resultot‘ this application he replied that he
would write to his uncle; and that he hoped
to be able to satisfy the court. .He wrote ac~
cordlngly, a very feeling and sensible letter
in which he declared his regret and remorse,
the resolution be had formed of earning his
bread honestly, however humble the employ-
ment he had adopted; confessed fiankly that
he had lost the manners of his legitimate so-
cral position, but that he was completely in-
”winning:
him in the face, when he bethought himself,
splendor he passed all his time in his stables"
nocent of any violation of the law. He con-
cealed neither his privations nor the misery
he had endured, and did not. seek to make
himself better than he really was, while be
displayed a true repentance for faults so dear-
ly atoued for. The letter was really mas-
terly. .t affected the judge the more, since
in the meanwhile, the real culprit had been .
arrested, and no suspicion now rested on the
Viscount. .
The judge was a worthy and excellent man,
and, resolved to befriend the victim of
appearances, ‘ He accordingly carried the,
letter to the uncle himself, read it to him,oud
indorsed its . frankness and sincerity. He
then asked the Marquis ifhe had not been,
somewhat harsh, pictured to him his lonely
old age, his fortune shared among strangers,
his name extinct. He displayed so much
earnestness and eloquence that he gained his
cause, and the nephew was restored to favor.
A wiser and better man, the Viscount has
resumed his place in society, but he frankly
alludes to his period of trial, and often re-
marks in conversation, ‘when I was a hack-
ney coachmsn.’ Is not this quite a little
drama ?

Twenty-Eight Years A30.
The present hostile position of South Car-
olina brings to mind the similar position
which she occupied in the years 1832-3,
when, led on by John C. Calhoun, she
threatened to nullify the laws of Congress
and secede from the Union. Inthat case the
State refused to allow the collection of taxes
and an ordinance was passed by delegates
met in convention declaring that no taxes
should he collected. The Legislature, which
soon after met, ratified the doings of this con-
vention, and passed an act directing the eu-
listment and enrollment of volunteers, and
advised all the citizens to put themselves in
military array. In the “Reminiscences of
Congress,” by Marsh, the condition of things
in the Palmetto State, in 1832, is thus de-
scribed, and the description will be found to
answer, in many particulars, to the condition
of things there in 1860:
. “The excitement now became intense.—
The whole State was in arms or ready to be
so at a moment’s warning. A military spir-
it everywhe're prevailed. The blue cockade,
with thc‘Palmetto button, was almost uni-
versally worn, and masters were held every
day. The cityof Charleston wore the ap-
pearance of a military depot, and it was gen-
erally supposed that the first attempt to en-
force the Revenue Laws of the United States
would produce instantaneous collision be-
tween the brces of the generai government
and of the State. General Hayne resigned
his seat in the Senate of the United Stater,)as
Chestnuth'ns just done), and was elected
Governor of the State, to meet the emergen-
cy; and Mr. Calhoun resigned his office as
Vice-President, three months before its con-
stitutional expiration, and succeeded Gen.
Hayne in the Senate.”
The “crisis" which has so very often been
coming upon that chivalrous State, had most
certainly come then.
The United States trrops were mustered in
some force at Augusta and Charleston, seem-
ingly for the purpose of suppressing any in-
surrectionary or rebellious movement in the
State; while on the other side equal prepa-
ration was made. The militia incertaiu sec-
tions of the State were called out and drilled,
muskets were put in order, swords cleaned

Daniel Webster, “the Defender of the Con-
stitutiou,” took sides in the conflict "with
Gen. Jackson against Calhoun, and by the
exercise of his masterly abilities in the Senate
gave substantial aid and comfort to the Ex-
ecutive in his conflict with Southern nullifi-
cation. As the question of a right of a. State
to secede from the Union is now before the
country, and as South Carolina now occu-
pies a position similar to that she occupied in
1839, we extract the following propositions
whichwere at that time enunciated and
maintained by Mr. Webster in the Senate.—
They completely cover the question of State
rights now agitating the popular mind. Mr.
Webster maintained—
1. That the Constitution of the United
States is not a league, confederacy or com-
pact between the people of the several states
in their several capacities; buta government
proper, founded on the adoption of the per-
ple, and creating direct relations between it-
self and individuals. '
11. That no state authority has power to
dissolve those relations; that nothing can
dissolve them but revolution; and that con-
sequently there is no such thing as secession
without revolution.
We commend these sentiments of Web-
ster—sentiments which were endorsed and
acted upon by the J acksoniau Democracy as
well as by conservative men everywhere
twenty-eight years ago—to the consideration
of those who have of late so fiippantly talk-
ed about secession, as though it may be done
at any time and on the most trifling pretext.

Btsuor Aims AND NEWSPAPERS—In his
address to the conference, just before reading
out the appointments, Bishop Amos alluded
to the various methods by which an itiner-
ant preacher might render himself useful,
and among others he spoke of circulating.
newspapers as an important means of doing
good. In his first circuit, some thirty years
ago,he had been very active in this direction,
and he said he gave to his members as a rea-
son that they should take newspapers, that
he had had experience as a school teacher,
and that it was his deliberate opinion that
two dollars spent for a good newspaper was
of more value as an educator in the family
than ten dollars paid to a sehobhaster for
tuition. “And,” remarked the Bishop,
“thirty years’ observation has but confirmed
that opinion.”

W My next door neighbor has a little boy
who thinks a great deal of babies, and, who
has been taught (more truthfully than the
teacher fancies) that they “come down fi'om
heaven.” One day, when the wind was
blowing furiously, he was denied the privi-
lege of playing in the street; his mother
giving as a reason for the retinal, that “the
wind would blow him up into the" s’ky.”=—'
That was just what he wanted, he said, for

Speech of Senator Trumbull.
The speech of Senator Trumbull of Illinois
at the Republican jubilee at Springfield, 111.,
from- his known intimacy with the President
elect, is regarded in many quarters as an im-
portant index to the policy of the coming Ad-
ministration. Apart from this conclusion,the
speech is an excellent one, and we copy it,en-
tire, as follows:
FELLOW-CITIZENS: It is meet that Repub-
licans should make merry and be glad, for
the spirit of liberty, which, with our rulers,
was dead, is alive again, and the Constitution
ordained to secure, its blessings, which was
lost sight of, is found. In view of recent po-
litical triumphs, Illinois Republicans have es-
pecial reasons for congratulations. In com-
mon with their political brethren throughout
the Union, they rejoice in the general result
which secures to the country a Republican
President, who we trust and believe, is to.
bring back the Government to” thepolicy'of’
the fathers, and thereby restore the fraternal
feeling which existed between the different
sections of the country in the purer and bet-
ter days of the Repi‘ blic. In addition, they
have the satisfaction ,bf having a Republican
Legislature, and thereby a. Republican Uni-
ted States Senator, aud the power to enact
the necessary laws to prevent illegal voting
and to give to every part of the State, accord-
ing to the population, its proportionate share
in the legislation of the State. And, more
than this, we Illinoisians have especial reason
to rejoice in the fact that the standard-bearer
in this great political contest, who has led
the Republican hosts to victory, is our own
fellow-citizen, the pure, incorruptible, patri-
otic, and talented Lincoln, than whom the
Constitution in all its parts has not a more
faithful‘supporter, nor the Union an abler de-
fender.
But, while we rejoice over a victory so
complete, let it not be by way of triumph
over polical opponents, for we are all, by
whatever name called,brethrcn of a common
country, and interested alike in so guiding
theship of State through the boisterous waves
of these teinpcstuous times, as to bring it to a
haven of peace and safety. Rather let us rc-
joicc over the succes of the principles we ad-
vocate, the maintenance of which we believe
essential to the preservation of our free insti—
tutions and the perpetuity of constitutional
liberty. Mr. Lincoln, although the candidate
of the Republican party, as Chief Magistrate,
will neither belong to that or any other party
When inaugurated he will be the President
of the country and the whole country, and I
doubt not will be as ready to defend and pro-
tect the State in which he has not received a
solitary vote against any encroachment upon
its constitutional rights as the one in which
he has received the largest majority; while
they, by whose votes he has been designated
as Chief Magistrate of the Republic, will ex-
pect him to maintain and carry forward the
principles on which he was elected, they
know that in doing so no encroachment will
be made on the reserved rights of any of the
States. They knew that the Federal Gov-
ernment is one of delegated powers; that it
can do nothing except the authority forthe not
can be found in the instrument which erected
it, and that all powers not conferred are re-
served to the States, or the people of the
States. Hence when their political opponents
have charged them with Abolitionism, or at-
tributed .to them a desire to interfere with
Slavery in the States, or some fanatic has in-
sisted they ought to do so, the reply has inva-
riably been that the people who made the
Federal Government did not think proper to
confer on it such authority, and it has, there-
fore, no more right to meddle with Slavery
ina State than it has to interfere with serf-
dom in Russia.
Nor are the people of the non-slaveholding
States in any way respoasible for Slavery in
the States which tolerate it, because, as to
that question they are as foreign to each oth-
er as independent Governments' I have la-
bored in and for the Republican organization
with entire confidence that whenever it
should be in power, each and all of the States
would be left in as complete control of their
own affairs respectively, and at as perfect lib-
erty to choose and employ their own means
of protecting property, and preserving peace
and order within their respective limits, as
they have ever been under any Administra-
tion. Those who have voted foer. Lincoln
have expected, and still expect this, and they
would not have voted for him had they ex-
pected otherwise. I regard it as extremely
fortunate for the peace of the whole country
that this point upon which the Republicans
have been so long and so persistently misrep-
resented, is now to be brought to a practical
test, and placed beyopd the possibility of
doubt. It should be a. matter of rejoicing to
all true Republicans that they will now have
an opportunity of demonstrating to their ad-
versaries, and to the world, that they are not
for interfering with the domestic institutions
of any of the Sates, nor the advocates of ne-
gro equality or oxalagamation, with which
political dcmagoD es have so often charged
them. . . _
When this is shown, a reaction wrll assur-
edly take place in favor of Republicanism.—
The Southern mind, even, will be satisfied;
the rights of Northern men will be respected;
and the fraternal feeling existing in olden
times, when men from all parts of the coun-
try went forth to battle for a common
cause ahainst a common enemy
will be restored. Disunionists per se, of
whom, unfortunately, there have been a few
in the country for some years, understand
this and are now in hot haste to get out of
the Union precisely because they perceive
they cannot much longer maintain an appre-
hension among the Southern people that their
homes, and firesides and lives are to be en
dangered by an act of the Federal Govern-
ment. With such, new or never is the max-
im. Hence they seek to inflame the public
mind by misrepresenting the objects and
purp03es of the Republican party, with the
hope of precipitating some of the Southern
States into a position from which they can-
not, without hishonor, afterwards recede, well
knowing if they delay till after the new Ad-
ministration is inaugurated and tested, it will
furnish no cause for their complaints. Se-
cession is an impracticability; or, rather, an
impossibility.
The Constitution provides no way by which
a State may withdraw from the Union—no
way for the dissolution of the Government it
creates. The General Governmentinterferes
but little with the individual rights of the cit-
izen, except for protection. It is chiefly felt
in its benefits and its blessings—not in its ex.
’ 7'“ , .' ‘
Carolinnwcre to resign their offices, remain
vacant, and its Legislature declares the State
out of the Union, it would all amount to lit-
tle except to inconvenience the citizens of
that state, so long as the State did not inter-
fere with the collection of the revenue on the
seaboard. The people in other portions of
the Union would not be in the least incom-
moded. What is the South Carolina army to
do when raised? Who is it to fight? Mani-
festly if it commence a war on the United
States officers engaged in collecting the reve-
nue, it becomes the aggressor. This would
be revolution, and making war without a
a cause, for South Carolina makes no com-
plaint against the present revenue laws.
Is she prepared for this—to become the ag-
gressor? The only use I can see for her
Minute-Men is, that they will enable the peO‘
ple more readily to suppress any uprisingin
their midst, which their misrepresentations of
purposes may have encouraged. She com-
plains that the Fugitive Slave Law is not ex~
ecuted in some of the States. This, if true,
the whole country knows to be a sham. So
far as South Carolina is concerrned, she is
so situated that no slave can escape from her
limits into Free States, however much cause
the border Slave States may have to complain
of their negroes runnig ninto the Free States.
Itis clearSouthCarolina cauhave no such com-
plaint. In her resolves she professes to be
preparing to defend herself against encroach-
ments on her rights. Let her adhere to this
policy, and not attempt to dictate to other
States what they shall do, and no coll'sion
will occur, for no encroachments will be
made. ,
The disunion feeling in the South,is doubt-
less, greatly exaggerated. A sort of terrorism
seems to prevail in some places, which for a
time, appears to have crushed out any mani-
festation of Union sentiment. But as the
causes for this excitement are all imaginary,
the election of a Republican President, in the
constitutional mode, certainly affording no
excuse for it, is reasonable to suppose that a
reaction will soon take place among the
Southern people themselves, which will over-
throw the disunionists at home. It isa great
mistake to class the supporters of Mr. Breck-
inridgc as disunionists. Some few of them
may be but. Mr. Breckinridge himself, and
his supporters, as a class, are, I doubt not, as
sincerely attached to the Union as many of
those who, for political purposes, desiring the
recent political contest, sought to fasten on
them the stigma of disunion. Should. the
conservative and Union men in any particu-
lar locality be unable to cope with their ad-
versaries, and South Carolina, or any other
State,under the lead of Nullifiers a: Disunion-
ists who have for years been seeking a pre-
text for breaking up the Government, plunge
into rebellion and without cause assail by
force of arms the constituted authorities of
the Union, there will be but one sentiment
among the great mass of the people of all
parties,_and in all parts of the country, and
that will hp “the Union—it must and shall be
preserved,” and woe to the traitors who are
marshaled against it.
Should any Republican inquire what. has
been gained by the triumph of Republicanism.
I answer‘mueh. We have gained a decision
a Homestead policy—a judicious TariflZ—the
State—a reform in the Financial department
of the Government—and more important
than all,the Verdict of the People—the scarce
of power, and from whose decision there is"
no appeal, that the Constitution is not a
Slavery-extending instrument. ; N o more
DredScott decisions will nowbe made. Free:
men, both of the North and of the South,will-
hereafter be protected in all their constitu-
tional rights. The policy of the Government
as of old, will now act in favor of Freedom,
and not for the supremacy of Slavery, as has
been the case for the last six years. Free-
dom henceforth will be the law of the Terri-
tories, because the people, in their majesty,
have so ordered, and neither Courts nor Con-
gresses will be able to thwart their will.—
When full efi‘ect shall have been given to all
these great measures of the Republican party
and the prejudices engendered against it in
the minds of many, by the artful appeals of
demagogues, who have misrepresented its
objects, shall have been removed by actual
knowledge of itsactswclmayexpect thebitter-
ness of party_spirit to subside, the cry of dis-
union to be hushed, and the principles of Re-
publicanism to become the permanent policy
of the Governmeut, under which it will flour-
ish and prosper, as I trust. forever.

Secession.
There was once a jolly set of paupers
quartered upon a benevolent town—3 JQUY
set as ever lifted spoon from mush. Being
much humored and well treated they waxed
aristocratic and turbulent, and demand beef
and onion soup twice a week instead of once,
as prescribed by the people. And they 'ar.
rayed themselves against the people, saying
—-pauperism is honorable, moreover it is a
divine institrfion and because of this we will
have beef and onion soup twice a week. But
the people said, “no: what you have got is
all you shall have,”—and the people being
the most numerous, it was even so. Then
the paupers rose in tumult and said, “We
will secede from the people and leave them
to their fate, and go it on our own hook."-'-
So they acceded and had things their own
way. And being filled with valor they
breathedout threatening and slaughter,but of
lucre, even money, their stock was slim.—
And they counseled and said, “We must
have money or straightway go we to
pot." And the wise men lifted up their voi-
ces and said, “borrow we can’t: let us make
a. new currency, even of paper, and write
promise to pay thereon, and buy shoes there-
with, for ourselves and our little ones; and
fabrics of wool, and instruments of iron, of
these our enemies." But the people would
none of it, saying “shystcr” thereto, which
being translated, moans worthless.
And fearing in the outset that they should
cave, they send afar off to a great captain
saying, “Protect us for we come out of free-
dom and offer our necks to thy yoke.” But
home on his hands than he could see through,
went back on them, saying, “ifyou can’t take
care of yourselves what the deuce did you
secede for ? Cook your Own skunks."—
Whereat, being abashed, they sought to cov-
enant with the people, who rejected-them.—
And the expenses of government fell upon
the paupers and they were soon taxed and
they fell to it by the ears among themselves.
And it came to pass that after much tribula-
tion and discord they came back to the peo-
ple saying, “take us back under the shadow:
of your great Constitution and we will go
without beef and onion soup, even once a
week.” And the people took them back.
