TfiE-GAZE. LITE :-

y, ill-cc. 4,1060.
A Course of Literaigy Bantams.
It is with unfcigned pleasure that we can
announce suppositories, at least, of our be-
ing favorqd- with a; means of intellectual and
social enjbyniént,‘ lying apart frOm the slrifes
and turmoils of party politics, during the
present winter. A few gentlemen have de-
termined to make the effort towards inaugu-v -
rating a Lecture Course to commence as soon
as the movement is sufficiently seconded by
our citizens to warrant the undertaking. It. has
been conceived? in? ringspirit of adgcnture or
~. : 4 v_ . _- . . . , . ,
speculation, and the tickets Will be placed at
the lowest-possible price, which the necessa-
ry expenses willzadmit. It is, proposed, to
fill the Course with the names of those who
are deemed the “bright particular stars” of
the Lecture Room, without any reference
whatever to their political, theological or
other mental. idiosyncracies. . Prominently
among those to be invited we recall the names
of Edward Everett, ‘Wendell Phillips, Cha-
pin, Beecher, James .T. Brady, George W.
Curtis, J. P. Thompson, Wm. Stark, etc.,aud
if possible SenatOr'Sunmcr and Caleb Cush-
ing. Inthecourse'of the present week, Mr.
James ,Fin‘ney'. will "canvass the town to see
with what unanimity Our citizens may be re-
lied upon to support the project. It ought
to be unnecessary, for us to urge a favorable
response ‘to Mr. Finney’s efforts. A town
like Norwalk,—really oneof the most weal-
thy and refined,-.—'as it is the largest in dense
population, ofaiiy constituting the vast num-
berof MOtropOlitan suburbs—with mo Halls,
unequalled in convenience of access, comfort-
ableness Ofseatingand tastefulness of dec-
oration, by any Vin'any town or city in the
State—surely we ought to be able, not only
to squeeze through Such a course as contem-
plated for this winter, but to establish and
inaintaina VILLAGE INSTITUTE as a thrifty
and permanentmeans of cdificalion and en-
teriainmént for our young people. There are
parents enough in town, who owe it as a du-
ty to their sons, who failing to find innocent
and healthy. entertainment, are per force led
to participate in enjoyments'of at least ques-
tionable inorality. 4 , , V . I
We have often heard it charged that Nor-
walk is nuts community Of literary taste,
and the delighting 'iquluntarily occurred
to us, that it hasienjoycd very few opportu-
nities for the culture and ' growth of (such a
taste. We“ confidently bespcak 'success to
the Lecture Course. ' '

Piremen‘s Ball.
The arrangements for the Anniversary
Ball of thnix Fire Co. of this town, have
been placed in the hands of an efficient Com-
mittee, and we doubt not they will do all that
is possible to make this outshine the first one
given by the COmpauy. Aside from dancing,
there will be a rare musical treat. which all
' can enjoy, as the music for the occasion is
engaged from the famed N. Y. Seventh Reg-
iment Band, the like of which is seldom af-
forded our citizens on an occasion of“ this
kind. The Supper is to be got up by “mine
host" Kelley, of the Connecticut Hotel. See

’, - The Panic.
It is believed by the must. sagacious fiuaui
cicrs that we have touched the bottom of
the ' present wicked and needless panic,
so far as the North is concerned. Our crops
are all heavy, banking institutions well , fur-
tified, the public confidence in them ‘lmis-
lakcable, and everything is brightiu the fu-
ture, except the cloud which hangs over the
Southern horizon, Which we trust will be li—
nally dispelled; but if it be not, it is not.
freigbtcd with ruin tolhc North. The slate
of things in the South cannot but be more or
less embarrassing to us here, because there is
a large debt due us from the South, which,
owing lo their short crops, they cannot pay
if they would. The political excitement
furnishes a. new apology for holding back;
but the North is too 'strong in all her resour-
ces to be seriously affected for any great
length of time. We feel confident that the
worst of the panic is over; and it would pass
away more rapidly but for the most inexcu-
sable course of such papers as the New York
Herald, Express, &c., which have been very
busy in exciting the passiouss of the already
over-excited population of‘ 'thc extreme
Southern States—Palladimn.

\VASHINGTON, DEC. 1.—-—The Douglas and
Johnson Association, and other citizens,
numbering two thousand, waited on Judge
Douglas at nine O’clock this evening, accom-
panied by the Marine Band of the Associa-
tion, and complimented him with a serenade.
Judge Douglas was introduced and re-
ceived with tumultuous applause.
He urged all Union loving men, all con—
stitutional loving men, to sink their bickcr~
iugs and mute to save the country first,
and quarrel if they pleased, afterwards.—
Lincoln having been elected according to the
Constitution, he must be inaugurated aczord-
ing to that Constitution.
fear? He again exhorted his friends not. to
indulge in rccrimination. He concluded by
saying that on Monday he should resume his
seat in the Senate- without prejudice or ill
feeling towards any one except the foes of
his country. ,
He was followed by Hon. John Young
Brown of Kentucky, in an eloquent Union
speech.
A quorum of members of both Houses is
present. Sentiments favorable to Union
were expressed by those arriving in the early
trains.
Southern members, and disunionism was in
the ascendauf.
Kentucky and Tennessee Senators and
Representatives announce that the Union is
held by a thread, and both States ready to fly
with their Southern brethren if the North re-
fuses satisfaction. ' ,
A National Convention is growing in favor.
All Old Line Whigs, or Southern Opposii
tion are for thc Union, at all hazzards, until
the new administration; shall have been tried
and found wanting. , _ .

6%" What does South Carolina fear from
the :uliuiuistratiou of ABRAHAM know?
He will take the oath to support the. (‘ousli-
tution. He will not break that. oath, In one
of his late speeches he said:
“I say that we must not inlerl'erc with the
institution of slavery in the States where it
exists because the Constitution forbids it, and
the general welfare does not require us to do
so. We must not withhold an efficient Fu-
gitive Slave Law, because the Conslituliou
requires us, as I undcrslaud it, not to with-
hold such a law. But we must prevent lbc
oulsprcad of the instution, because neither
the Constitution nor general welfare require
us to extend it. We must prevent. the
revival of the African Slave'l‘rade and the
enacting by Congress of a 'l‘crritoriul Slave
Code. We must prevent each _ of lhcsc
things being done by either Courts. The
people of these United States, are the rightful
masters of bolli Congresses and Courts, not
to overthrow the Constitution, but to over—
throw the mau who perverts the Consli-
tution." .
What. more can South Carolina demand 2‘
~-<.u-. .
W The Mobile Mercury. is informed by a
gentleman, who belongs to a vigilance coin-
mittec in northern Texas, that the distant
public is not informed of the extent of the
hanging in that region, that he has been in
correspondence with committees in other
counties, and he estimates that no less than
two hundred and fifty persons have suffered
death by hanging. This is too outrageous to
be believed. There isno use in talking about
barbarism, if it .is half true, Barbarism in
these-days don’t begin to come up to such
crimes. . .. . .v" .

HENRY CLAY ON SECEssmN.—chry Clay’s
way of treating secession and nullification is
thus expressed in his letter to Daniel Ullman
and others of New York city dated Oct. 3d,
1851; .
Suppose the standard should be raised, of
open resistance to the Union, the Constitution
and the laws, what is to be done ‘8. There
can be but one possible answer. The power
the authority and the dignity of the govern-
ment ought to be maintained and resistance
put down at every hazard. The duty. of ex-
ecuting the laws and suppressing insurrec-
tiO‘ns without limitation or qualification: it
is co-cxtensive with the jurisdiction Of the
United States. No human government can
exist without the power of applying force,
and the actual ap lication of it in extreme
cases, My belief is that if it should be ap-
plied to South Carolina, in the even of her
secession, she would be- speedily reducedrt‘o;
obedience and the UniOn,‘ instead-of! being
weitkened,would acquire additional strength.

would hang a sheet out of the window, and

who tugged lustily‘above, would thus gain
ancnt'rancc. It so happened that one eve-
ning the girls hung out the sheet too early;
the old gentleman spying the sheet could not
conjecture the meaning of it. So he caught
hold and endeavored to pull it down. '1 he
girls, supposing it to be one of their fellows,
began to hoist and did not discover their
mistake till his head was level with the win-
dow sill, when one of them exclaimed, “Oh.
Lord, ’lis dad l" and letting go the sheet
down came the old gentleman, dislocating
his shoulder. Withdrawing all opposition to
their keeping company, he was soon a fath-
cr-iu-law. _

A (food Comparison.
9?“ The Riv. William Roulnlt, a well
know Methodist clergy man, resulmg at Na-
ples, draws the following amus’mg but apt
comparison between Dr. M‘Laue s celebrated
Vermifugc, prepared by Fleming Bros, of
Pittsburgh, Pa, and a ferret : _
“A ferret, when placed at the entrance of a
rat-hole, eulrrs the aperture. travels along the
' assage, sciwsnpon the rat, _
his existenci, and drama thc'ammal'sdcfunct
carcass to the light. And in like manner
have I l’omd Dr. M’Lauc‘s American Vermi-
fuge to Opfl'fllc upon worms, those dreadful
and dangciOus tormcnlors of children. This
remedy, like the ferret, enters the apcratuie~
of‘the morlh, travels down the. gullct, hunts \
round the stOmach, lays hold of the worms,
shakes the life out of the reptiles, s‘vvceps
clean that den, and carries their carcasses
This, at least, has
been the effect of the Ycrmifugc upon my
children.”
. A neighbor of Mr. John Briggs, adopts the
simile of'the reverend .ccrtifier thus both giv-
ing their most unequivocal approval of , this
great syecuic, after having witnessed its ope-
ration tpon their own children. Let others
try it, andbe satisfied.
