hings at Washington.
A rumor spread through the town late Sat-
nrday evening that President Buchanan had
resigned. Even the eyes of long visaged (lem-
ocrats essaycd to sparkle in hopeful anticipa-
tion. Monday morning dispelled the illu-
alon, and all settled back to its. former gloom,
though a. rumor gained currency that he was
imam. Well we don‘t wonder his
fiends have resorted to this last palliative
for rascality. His condition is truly parable-
Taking the government at a time of unwon.
39d prosperity. The Treasury running over.
No public debt, and no serious disaffections
9t home or abroad. ' The great democratic
party an absolute power throughout the land.
Attire end of four short years how changed.
The national Treasury totally and absolutely
‘ bankrupt! A national debt of millions for
the very interest of which, money has to be
harmed ! His country distracted and driv-
an to the very verge of disso‘;.ion, by his
,own pusillanimious conduct and connivance

2’ with the secessionists. His great party ut-

terly routed, broken and scattered, and none
lafipo poor (no matter how fat the ofilcial
bribe) to grant him the poor homage of their
respect. Without purpose, without princi-
ple, without courage ; hesifaliug, halting;
prevaricating, the poor old man ,is an object
of the,deepest pity and commiseration. Had
he but the firmness and integrity of a J ack:
Ion, how suddenly would he squelch seces-
don. Had he a moiety of old Hickory’s pat-
riotism, how soon would he have dispelled
the disunion vipers which have besn nursed
in the bosom of his Cabinet !

Had he one spark of truth or patriotism,
how soon could he quell the excitement at
the South byinforming them what if c knows

- in his heart to be true, that the Republican
party will do as much, yea more, than he
has done for the faithful execution of the
laws. That he and his party have pcrsis t-
ently lied about the motives and objects of
half of the people of this Confederacy till
they have been seized with panic and strick-
enin terror, and look upon secession as the“
only ,means of escape. Let him make a sac-
rifice of his own pride to truth, and how soon
would peace and quiet be restored.

Death of Rev. Wm. B. Weed. ~

DIED, on the 13th inst, Rev. Wm. B. Weed,
Pastor ofthc First Congregational Church,
in this place. ‘

Mr. Weed was born in New Canaan, on the
22d day of March. 1811. He very early cx-
hibited an extraordinary fondness for books,
and being blessed with a memory which falls
tothe lot of few, his attainments, while yet
a lad, were far beyond his years. He was
fitted for College under the late Rev. Theoph’
ilua Smith of New Canaan, for whom Mr.
Weed always cherished an almost rever-
ential regard. At the age of sixteen he en-
taredthe Sophomore Class in Yale College,
where he immediately took a high rank,
which he maintained until he graduated in
1830. His father, though a most worthy and
estimable man, was not in circumstances to
aid him in obtaining his education. For this
ha Was entirely indebted to his elder brother,

who has long been a resident of this village, ‘

and who by teaching School,and the exercise
of a rigid economy, was able to advance the
necessary means to carry him through his
Academical and Collegiate course. This, it
la true, he afterwards refunded; but it is not
.too much to say that without such assistance
in the time of it. we should never have had
Mr. Weed for a Pastor. Immediately after
leaving College, be commenced teaching an
Academy in Chillicothe, in the State of Ohio.
While here, his mind was‘ suddenly drawn
I) thesubject of religion,by a sermon which
he heard on thankfulness, which ended not
long after in his conversion. It has been
sometimes stated, but not by him, that he
was converted In very early life. This is a
mistake. That he at that time received im-
pressions which had their effect on him
through life,is more than probable; but neith-
er he, nor his friends who knew him best,
ever believed that he then met with a change
of heart.

After remaining a year or two in Ohio, he
subsequently continued teaching in Tenn es-
aae, Lousiana, and lastly at Pensacola, in
Florida, at which'latter place he was private
tntor in the family of the late Major General
Gaines. From thence he returned to his na-
tive place after an absence of about six years.
He then began to devote himself exclusively
to the study of the law, which he had com-
menced as far back as during his College
' ‘courae, and pursued from time to time as his
other duties would permit. Soon after, he

__,.,-eo'n‘iit'eted himself with the Law School

_ at New Haven, and it was while on his way
thither in the stage, aftera short visit home?
that he on reflection suddenly changed his
purpose, and joined the Theological Semina-
ry in that place. In 1830 he was licensed to
preach, and after preaching a short time in
some of the neighboring towns, he was settled
over the Congregational Cburch‘iu Stratf'ord
in December of that year. Here he contin-
ued as a most faithful and useful min-

me: until May, 1855, when his health be-.

lug somewhat impaired, he sought relief in
a change, and removed to Norwalk upon

~ ‘“ "rthe unanimous call of j the Church and Soci-

ety in this village, over which he was in-
stalled as pastor in June of that year, in
which relation be continued till his death.
Early last Summer it became apparent to his
peoplc'that his health was suffering, and he
was repeatedly urged to cease from labor un-
til his health should be restored, but he was
, bent upon his Work, and declined all such so-
licitations until the last ofJuly, when be con-
cluded to suspend his labors temporarily, to
he resumed again in afew weeks, as he sup-
posed. A mysterious and all wise Provi-
dence determined that they should never be
resumed.

Thus has passed away ‘a man of rare native
gifts, and of still more uncommon attain-
ments. He had read-everything and remem-

' bored everything he had read. With the an-
cient and modern classics he was equally fa-
miliar. In the true sense of the word he was,
a learned man. But he was not merely
learned. With a mind keen, discriminating
and comprehensive, he was master of a se-
vere and powerful logic, so that when he had
finishedasubject there was no mine to be
said about it. It was a perfect demonstration.

But, more than all, Mr. Weed was a good
man and a Christian; without hypocrisy and
without deceit ; frank, generous and sincere.

' May the Great Shepherd soon give to his
stricken people another pastor after His own
heart.

His funeral is to be attended at 1 o’clock
to-day. (Monday) from the church which has
so long been the theatre of his earnest labors.
Rev. S. B. S. BISSELL is to preach a funeral
sermon, and addresses from a number of
clergymen from towns adjoining us, we un-
derstand, is to constitute in part the order of
exercises. ’

’ Last \‘Vcduesday evening we had the pleas-
ure of attending one of those pleasant and
social gatherings so prevalent since the close
of the Presidential campaign, i. c. a “lVil‘e
Awake Banquet.” The Ladies of Daricn,
wishing to show thatlhcy were inlercsted iu
the cause, and also in a measure to reward
those Who so g:1]lantly"fougbt the good light,’
went bravely to Work and prepared an cle-

Awakcs and the Republicans of their town
and of which they parlook on the above
named evening. The Tables were laid in
Fitch’s Hall, and were loaded down with the
solid and substantial eatables, as well as all
of the delicacies of the season. At 7 1-2
o’clock all the available room was occupied
by a goodlyarray of enthusiastic Republicans
with their wives and daughters, ready and
anxious to carry out the intention of the fair
originators of the Feast in having a good
time.

‘Crnus Nonrnnor, Esq, of N orwalk, was
called upon to make the opening address
which call, though unexpected on his part’
he answered with a short but. telling speech:
at the close of which Rev. Mr. BARNES ad-
dressed the Throne of Grace, and then the
muititude present testified their appreciation
of the entertainment prepared for- the inner
man, by rapidly causing them to disappear:
(or, in these times, we might say secede) from
the tables. After the viands had been \ch1
discussed, IRA SCOFIELD, Esq, called the
assemblage to order and read the following
toasts : ' . '

lst. The Victory we celebrate, &c. «Res-
ponded to in a short but happy speech, per-
tinent to the present state of political affairs,
by Chas. G. Morehouse, Esq.

2. The Republican Press.

3d. The Clergy, &c. Responded to by the
Rev. Mr. Barnes, in an eloquent and able de-
fense of the moral right of the Clergy to
speak, as occasion demanded on the political
affairs of the Nation.

4th. The Cause, &c. Responded to by
CyrusNorthrop,Esq, in a speech of some
duration, in which be reviewed the causes
which led to our great victory, and also the
causes of the present deplorable state of our
National affairs, broughtbn by the imbecility
and impotency of our old P. F. at “lashing—
ton. At the conclusion of Mr. Northrop‘s
speech, it then being nearly time for the train
on which he was about to leave, when the
Rev. Mr. Barnes arose, and with a few com-
plimentary remarks, presented to Mr. N. in
behalf of the Ladies, a mammoth Frosted
Cake, bearing the inscription in raised let_
ters thereon, “Welcome to the Banquet.”

[Being obliged to leave in the train with Mr.
Northrop, we were unable to obtain the bal-
ance of the toasts] ,

This we think was about the best Enter-
tainment of the kind held about here, it cerr
tainly was the most successful of any which
We have . attended.

reward for their splendid and liberal Banquet

To run \V.~\lll)EN axo Buncussns or run
Bonoucu or NORWALK:

Gontlcmcn-Ju acmrdaucc with a resolu-
tion of your Honorable. body, for a report
from the Chief Engiuccr, of the condition of
the Fire l.)cparlmcnt of the Borough, l
herewith submit the illlllHYlllg' report.

The department consists of two Engine
(,‘(uup:mics, known respectively as l‘ho‘nix,
Engine Company, No. 1, and Silver Grey
Engine Company, No. 2. ‘Plucnix Engine,
No. 1, is a second class Engine, nearly new,
and is considered inferior in power to none
of the same capacity in the country. The
company attached number about 70 mem-
bers, and are at present under the command
of F. St. John Lockwood as Foreman. In
connection with the Engine Co.‘is a Hose
Co., numbering about 30 menibers, under the
command of Wm. A. Kellogg. The Com-
pany have five hundred feet leather Hose,
which. I regret to say, are in very unreliable
condition. The Hose Co. have, during the.
past year, purchased, without expense to the
Borough, a beautiful four-wheeled I-Iose. Car-
riage, and may at all times be relied upon as
ready for duty. The same remark, I feel
confident, will also apply to the Engine Co.
All of the apparatus belonging both to En-
gine and Hose 00., with the. exception ofthc
Hose, is in good condition.

Silver Grey Engine, No. 2, is an old-fash-
ioned goose-neck machine, about 18 years
old, and is at present in good working order
The company attached, number about 30
members, under the command of E. Nelson
as Foreman. This "Co. have two hundred
feet of lcathcr Hose, in very ordinary condi-
tion. This Co. was formed with the expecta-
tion that the Borough would give them anew
Engine the present year ; and I have the as-
surance of the Foreman and of individual
members of the Co., that if the Borough does
not vote them the means of procuring a Ina-
chine which will place thcm in as good apo-
sition for usefulness as the other Engine Co_
in the Borough, that they are determined to
disband. After an experience of some eight
years endeavoring to organize a Company
that would adhere to this Engine, I am free
to confess that I have no doubt but that the
threat of dissolution will be carried into ef-
fect. The present Co. is \composed of the
right material for service, and in my opinion
are entitled to a more cflicicnt apparatus.—

Thcrc is belonging folhc Borough 9 lad-
ders and 3 large fire books, which are stored
in a shed adjoining the Borough pound. The
books and ladders arc in good condition, but
cannot be accounted of very great utility for
the want of a suitable truck to carryihcm on
in case of fire. The above is all the appa-
ratus whichwe have in the. Borough for ex-
tinguishing fires.

In answer to the enquiry, what in my opin-
ion is needed for the better protection from
loss by flrc——I would recapitulate the recom-
mendations made in my report to the Annu-
al Borough meeting in November of 1859,
viz: the construction of three or more cis-
terns in the immediate vicinity of the busi-
ness part of the Borough, to be used in case
of fire, is, in my opinion, a subject of much
importance. These cisterns should, I think,
he paid for by the property owners most in-
tercsted,as it wouldbc manifestly unjust to tax
property on the outskirts of the Borough for
expenditures in which the owners have no
direct interest.

A new Engine for Silver Grey Co. I con-
sider is requisite for the good of the whole
Fire Department. The present engine (No.
2) is not of sufficient power to, co-opcratc
withNo. 1 to any advantage, and consequent-
ly the efficiency of both Engines would be
greatly impaired, should it be necessary to
use bothiu order to reach from any water to
a fire.

I would also recommend the purchase of
500 feet of new Hose for No. 1 Hose Co.
The Hose flop. they now have are very poor,
and liable to become useless when most rc-
quircd. - - -

I would also urge the purchase of a Truck
for the hooks and ladders, and should the
Borough procure one I have no doubt but
that a Company could be formed to take
charge of the same. In connection with this
subject permit me to suggest that an early
attention to their duties by the Fire Inspec—
tors, might be the means of saving the Bor-
ough from considerable loss by fire.

Respectfully submitted.

,aMr. Biglcr of Pa. made a speech. He said
that he would go with the Senator from Illi-

themselves straight to the work of rescuing
the country. “Mr. President, in weal or woe
Iam a-Union man.- I am for the Union as
made by our Fathers. 1 am for the constitu-
tution and the Un ion.

Mr. Biglcr said that there were more vo-
ters in Pennsylvania and New York than lll
all the Statcstbreatcning secession. The re-
publicans had gained their last victory—let
us then remain together. . ‘

Mr. Ivcrson said that the South did not
fear personal liberty bills or fugitive slave
acts. They feared mob law, more. The
vote at the late election showed the senti-
ment of the North and all the Douglas-unn-
in tcrvention-squat ter-sovcrci gnty party there
cannot. avail. (Laughter) lf'lbe South was
left to herself, the slave population will pre-
ponderalc over the whites. . If'thc North pre—
vuils, universal cmanmpalion would be the
result of her government.

Messrs. Pugh and Ivcrsou discussed the
workings of the fugitive slave law.

Mr. Douglas said that Congress should ap-
ply necessary legislatiou, and this would
render a convention of States unnecessary.

Mr, Mason replied that they should not
be satisfied unless they had cvulcnce
thin; the convention of the different States
would uphold the Constitution. We are not
bound to remain in the Union.

After further uuiinjmrlant business, the
Senate adjourned.

Housnr—Mr. Cobb of Alabama hoped that
the connnittce would commence busmess
soon and present the results of their delibcy-
ations in some tangible form If anything 13
to be done to save his slatc,-it must be done
at once. These crowded galleries give evi-
dence of the excitement pervading the pub-
lic mind all over the union. lle entertained
the opinion that. the Southcru members
should withdraw, and let the republican
members submit propositions, but this can—
not bc done. The constitution is sufficient
protection for the rights ofthc South, if exe-
cuted. He had no hope for the country If
its continuance rested on public opinion.-—-
Nor can compromises or the sword preserve
it. -
The House refused to excuse Hawkins—

.defercnce, that he will not serve, Boyce of
' The question

into the hands of the people for proper ad-
justment. Hc trusted that the committcc
would do something’to harmonize the public
mind. ~ He knew that Alabama would not
remain after Jan. 15th, unless something is
especially done. He was not a sccessromst;
he desired peace on the principle of the con-
stitution if he could have that. “You can
help us to remain in the Union as long as
the sun shines. My prayer will be for the
perpetuity of the government.

Mr. Burnett thought refusal extraordinary
if, after mature reflection, Mr. Boyce had
niade up his mind that justice to his State
rcquircdhc should refuse. If South Caroli-
na was to stay with us but a few days, why
should he not be excused.

Mr. Smitth of Va. replied that he Would
not use force, be voted against excusing Mr.
Hawkins, and said in vindication of his vote
that the present was big with the affairs of
the Republic, and discussion was unlikely to
do good. He was surprised and mortified
that the republicans had not participated in
the discussion.

Mr. Curtis replied that the republicans had
not refused to discuss but would do so at
the pro yer time. He wanted the committee
to have a fair hearing.

The House refused to excuse Mr. Boyce by
a tie vote.

, Mr. Morrill of Vb, asked to be excused,
ashis duties already fully employed ins tune.

Mr. Rhett of South Carolina—What Mr_
Clay thought of Him .in 1850.

In a speech in the Senate, July 22, 1850, in
reply to Mr. Barnwell, of S. 0., Mr. Clay
speaking of Mr. Rhett, said:

“Mr. President—I said nothing in respect
to the character of Mr. Rhett—for I might as
well name him. I know him personally,
and have some respect for him. But if be
pronounced the scutim‘cnt attributed to him
of raismg the standard of (limm'on and of re-
sistance to the common government, what-
ever he has been, if he follOWS up that dccla
ration by corresponding overt acts, he will be
a Tnxrron, and I hope he will meet the fate
of a TRAI'ron." [Great applause in the gal-
lcry, with difficulty suppressed by the Chair.]
Mr. President, I do not regard as my duty
what the honorable Senator (Mr. Barnwcll)
seems to regard as his. If Kentucky, to-mor-
row, unfurls the standard of resistance un-
justly, I will never fight under that banner.
I owe a PARAMOUNT allegiance to the whole
UNIOX—a subordinate one to my own Slate."

“We hear such frequent allusions to a sup-

few questions: '

First, Is it kDOWlI that any such gentlemen
of character would accept a place in the Cub-

Second, If yea, on what terms does he sur-

without violating its own constitution. Ev-
ery officer of South Carolina is required by
the Constitution of the State to take the fol-
lowing oath:

“I do swear (or affirm) that Iam duly qua]-
ified according to the Constitution of this
Slate, to exercise the office to which I have
been appoinlcd, and will, to the best of my
abilities, discharge the duties thereof, and
preserve, protect, and defend the Constitu-
lion of this Stale, marl rgf the United Stairs.”

1n the same Constitution is provided that
the Governor shall, command the. military
fbrccs of the State, “except when they shall
be called into the service of the United
States. Nor can these obligations be avoid-
cd except by amending the State Constitu-
tion, which can only be done by the process
here described: '

No part. of this constitution shall be altered
unless a bill to alter the same shall have
been read tllrec times in the House of Rep-
resentatives and three times in the Senate,
and agreed to by two-thirds of‘bolh branches
of the whole representation; neither shall
any alteration take place until the bill, as
agreed to, be published three months previ-
ous to a new- election for members of the
House “Representatives; and if the altera-
aion proposed by the Legislature be agreed
to in the first session, by two-thirds vote of
the whole representation in both branches
of the Legislature, after the same shall have
been read three times, on three several days
in each House, then, and not otherwise,
the same shall become a part of the Consti-
tution."

something or say something or do something

to their record on the personal liberty law of
that state. It says: ‘ '

“The personal liberty bill on our statute
book was enacted in 1848, ,ccrtainly before
the republican party was formed, and just
when the democratic party was about to (ll-
vide into regular democrats and free sellers.
It passed the Senate Without acall. Infhe
House the ayes and noes were ordered.—
Therc were 15 democrats. How did they
VOlff? Willi what unanimity did they record
l‘llmryoiccs against this outrage of ‘northern
fanaticism? With what solid strength (lid.
they vindicate the rights of the South and

stoodfayes, 26‘ whigs, 13 democrats; nays,
14 wings, 2 democrats. More than one-third
of the whigs rated against it, and less than a
seventh of the. democrats.“

The Boston Journal says the first personal
liberty law in that State 'was passed under
the administration of Marcus Morton, demo-
crat. Theprescnt more stringent law was
passed by the “know-nothing” legislature,
the ruling spirits in which are now Bell-Eve-
rclt. men. It was modified in 1858 by the
republicans, some of its more stringent pro-
visions having been stricken out.

We should be glad to see the law entirely
wiped out. from the statute-books, butwheth-
er this is done or not, the fact will remain
that it was put there before the republicans
obtained the control of the Slate govern-
ment, and that since that time they have mod-
ified some of its most obnoxious features.
