At this important crisis in our public af-

be fully represented, that the vows of the
majority as recently expressed at the ballot
box, may again be heard, and that it_may be
seen that the Republicans of Connecticut, op-
posing any and all attempts come from what.
ever quarter they may, to dismember or_ dis-
solve the Union—are true to the principles
of the founders of the republic as thus ex-
pressed by Mr. Jefferson, namely—“the sup-
port of the State Government in. all their
rights the most competent administration of
our domestic concerns, and the surest bul-
warks against anti-republican tendencies;
the preservation of the General Government
in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet
anchor of our peace at home, and safety
abroad; a jealous care of the rights of elec-
tion by the people; absolute acquiescence in
the decision of the majority, the vital prmcr-
ple of Republics.” The people have decrded
at the late election, that the present mis-
named Democracy have mismanaged the
public affairs, and that a change of policy is
to ensure our national safety and
necessary _
pros rity. It therefore becomes highly
important that the Convention be fully at-
tended - and that every honorable means
should used to sustain the incoming ad-
ministration, in its defense of the Union and
the Constitution, and in the faithful execu-
tion of the laws.

Union School House Burned.
Early on Friday morning the cry of fire
again aroused our citizens, which was found
to proeecd from the Union School House.—
The Engines were promptly got to work,
No. 1 furnishing water from thelittle stream
in the meadows at the base of the hill up
through five hundred feet of hose into No. 2,
which machine for sometime played her
. stream‘upon the burning edifice. This was
discontinued, however, after a season, and
No. 2 moved out of the way in consequence
of her inability to clear herself of all of the
' water forced into her. No 1 then played di-
rectly upon the fire for several hours. Had
No. 2’s company possessed such a machine
as they deserve, a considerable portion of
the building and fixtures might have been
saved. We really hope these repeated warn-
ings will induce some more thorough and
effectual means of subduing fires. Some
means should be immediatelysought for pro-
curing water, and the Borough having al-
ready expended so much for fire apparatus,
we think the Town ought to be the purcha-
ser and owner of at least one first class En-
gine—for in no case would our firemen con-
fine their efforts in saving property to the
Borough limits, and very just and serious
would be the complaints against them should
they fail to reach a fire within any reasona-
ble distance of the village. .
The destruction of our Union Scholl build-
ing is at this particular juncture a very seri-
ous public calamity. Through opposition of
almost every cheracter it Was built; and as
one of the Building Committee afterwards
expressed to us, “with the trowel in one
hand and the sword in the other.” A very
large amount of money had been spent upon
the experiment, and a heavy debt created,
. which increased the oposition to the enter-
prise. But it has, nevertheless, been an or-
nament and a credit to the town, and in its
character and standing has been equal if not
superior toany school of the kind in the
State. Things were just beginning to move
more prosperously with the institution, and
the popular prejudices wearing away, as this
calamity overlakes us. That it will be ulti-
mately rebuilt we do not doubt, but the op-
position and difficulties which environ its re-
erection will, no doubt, cause it to be post-
poned to some period long in the future.—
The calamity t0 the hundreds of our chil-
dren andto their parents cannot easily be es-
timated. 'But we hnpe this latter evil will
be obviated as far as is possible by the Com
mittee, who by using the lecture rooms Of
our churches, the vacant halls in the town,
or some other substitutes, will keep the very
efficient and competent corps of teachers at
their work.
The origin of the fire is not clearly ascer-
tained, although it was evidently connected
' in some way with the heating apparatus.—
The building was warmed with one of Gold’s
patent Steam Heaters,'and it is thought prob-
able that the pipes may havc ignited the
woodwork in some part of the building. It
is a cause of sincere thankfulness that there.
were no children in the building to be frightl
‘ened or injured. '
The edifice was insured for $2000 each in
the Etna-a Connecticut offices of Hartford,
and the fixtures for $500 each in the same
offices.

A Noble Sentiment.
Said an old and prominent democrat in our
office the other day, “I know nothing of par-
13/ at a time like this, when the flag, the Con-
stitution and the laws'of‘ my country are be-
ing trampled underfoot by traitors.” It was
a noble sentiment and we doubt not uttered
with Jacksonian sincerity. This is the posi-‘
tion pf the great Republican party to-day.
Any and all reasonable concession or concil-
iation to the faithful and true men of the
South, but no compromise with thieces and
traitors, conspiring, not for peace, but the
overthrow of the government. To all such let'
there be no other response than that of brave
and patriotic old Hickory, “ The Federal
Union, it MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERvED.”

Of as many more as may wish to “go in.”—
This is the Southern mode of nomination of
candidates, and we confess we like it. Any
man whose palms itch to serve his country,
in any official capacity, can, by reason of
this custom, announce himself for any office
that he may desire, with entire proprietry,
and if he can afterwards get votes enough,
he has the office, if not, he can form a sort of
mathematical calculation as to how popular
or unpopular lie is in the community. The
five dollar fee, (with the reserved right of in-
creasing that amount to any other generous
figure,) which is paid the editor for making
the announcement, strikes us as another sen-
sible and decidedly meritorious feature of the
system. '

At about 1 o’clock Sunday morning, the
large barn of Gershom Bradley, (near the
old Scribner neighborliood,) was discovered
on fire, and the flames under such headway
that the building, and its entire Contents,
Were very soon entirely consumed, together
with several adjoining outhouscs. In the
barn and burned up with it were one horse,
four oxen, four COWS, four hogs and a large
quantity of hay, grain and agricultural im-
plements. Mr. Bradley’s loss (about $2000)
is a .very severe one, and he is, 'We be-
lieve without insurance. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary, and
although there are vague suspicions that the
destruction of his property is in some way
connected with his participation in the re-
cent safe robbery trial, we are not aware that
they amount to any degree of certainty.

ROBBED or ms Epics—On Monday
night,_as Err-Recorder James M. Smith
was returning to New‘York with $1000
in his pocket, (the fees received as conn-
sel for Stebbius and Roberts, the Ex-
press robbers at Bridgeport,) he had his
pocket picked of the $1600 in cash. lie
missed his wallet He immcdiu'tcly
jumped upon the car again, and as he did
so he saw a young man leap from the
front platform. He started in pursuit,
several citizens joining him, and ralsnig
the cry of “stop thief.” The young fol-
low was too nimble for them all, howev-
er, and contrived to elude them.
Hartford Press.
The “nub” to the above paragraph is
appreciated to its full extent only by a
few persons in Bridgeport who were pres-
ent when Mr. Smith received his fees.—
A casual remark from a bystander elicit-
ed the reply from the honorable Ex-Re-
corder as be pocketed the money, that
“this amount at least,” referring to the
fees, “was safely out of the hands of the
Express Company.” It is supposed that
the pickpockets were the identical per-
'sous who were entrusted with the matter
of settling with the counsel for the pris-
oners. Thinking probably that the hou-
or of conducting the defence in so impor-
tant a case, was a sufficient remunera-
tion for services rendered, the parties
followed the moneyed lawyer, and re-pos-
scssed themselves of the $1600.
N. H Courier.
WWe have a local “nub" to the above.
It seems that the same day of the above oc- '
currencc, Mr. Woodward, of the law firm of
Ferry & Woodward, was attending Court at
Bridgeport,and as is the wont of lawyersflesi-
ring to appear as respectable as the circum-
stances of his profession would admit, wore
his new $30 overcoat, which was hung in
the ante-room of the Court House, and which
when wanted came up missing. The pre-
sumption is that these same scoundrcls who
“negotiated” with Recorder Smith, borrowed
the overcoat! Mr. W, had ‘a half dozen let-
ters in his pocket ready .to be deposited in
the Post Office, which he hopes the generos-
ity of the thief will prompt him to mail.

Banished from South Carelina.
The Manchester (N. H.) American says
that Mr. Lyman A. Dickey, of that city, a
young and industrious machinist, nearly a
year ago went South and engaged in the
prosecution of his business in a retired coun-
try town in South Carolina, about sixty miles
'from Charleston. He had nothing to do,
the institution of slavery—never. spoke of it,
—but diligently attended' to his own business.
Being taken ill he became short of funds and
wrote to his mother in Bo'ston, sending his
letter to the post office. by a free negro.—
Shortly after he received the following let-
ter: - ,
MR. LYMAN A. Drcxnv—Sir: Having
found in the possession of a free negro a let-
ter directed to Boston, the Vigilance. Com:
mittee ordered it opened, which having been
done, it was sealed again and sent to its des-
tination. This is to notify you that you are.
hereby ordered to leave the State of South
Carolina as soon as your health will permit'
you to so. By order,
SAMUEL SOLOMON, Secretary.
The mere fact that he had directed a let-
ter to Boston, and sent it. to the Post Office
by the bends of a free negro, appears to have
procured the banishment of Mr. Dickey.—
Hc has arrived at Manchester.
Is the right of banishment one of those we
ought to “concede" to preserve a union with
the people who break open their neighbor’s
letters.

Mr. Perry's Speech.
We have received the full report of the
speech of the Hon. 0. S. Ferry. it is a
glorious, a magnificent production, and
would do honor to any statesman that
ever lifted up his voice in either hall of
Congress. Its logic, its reason, its truth,
its moral tone, its burning eloquence, will
carry conviction to every unprejudiccd
mind, and give Mr. Ferry a position
among the great orators of the land such
as few men of his years ever have attain-
ed. No fair-minded Democrat can read
this speech without saying in his heart,
“Mr. Ferry is right.” 0 ye Douglas
men who ever had one particle of sympa.
thy for the right, and love of the inde-
pendence of your country i can' you read
that speech and then lend your future in
fluence, under any pretense whatever, to
the wicked purposes of the Brecklnridge
conspirators? We shall publish it on
Monday. ' \

discountcnancc delay in every possible man-

The Louisiana State Convention, on Sat-
urday, passed the ordinance of secession, in ‘
of Skates, and have-made contracts therefor,
for the Children's Aid Society.
This Society is dependent for the greater
part of its support upon unsolicited contribu-
tions, which are sent in, in smaller or larger
sums, from the city and from every part of
the country. In times of great public excite-
ment, and in the more momentous national
troubles, the enterprises of daily charity are
naturally overlooked. The business-depres-
sion, moreover, falls most heavily on those
from whom most of the support of benevo-
lent socictics comes. The consequence is,
that in the mast of winter, with the usual
and, perhaps, even a greater number of poor
children dependent upon them, the Trustees
of the Children’s Aid Society are extremely
cramped for menus to carry on their various
and important enterprises for the needy and
ignorant children of the city. They fear that
some of these most ncedful charities to those
who suffer most in distressed times—the poor
and homeless little ones of the streets—must
be given up, unless more liberally aided by
the public.
The work which is being done by’ the so-
ciety for the public benefit, is as follows:
(1.) They are founding Industrial Schools,
and supporting “ Visitors,” who gather chil-
dren for these Schools, and the Public
Schools, and otherwise assist and labor for
the children of the poor. There are, thus
engaged, scvcu Visitors; and connected with
the Society, though supported by their own
Boards, six Industrial Schools, with about
7 00 scholars. Beside these, the Italian
School and the Cottage Place School, with
about two‘ hundred pupils, are maintained by
the Society.
(2.) They are supporting and carrying on
the News Bog/3‘ Lodging House, which shelt-
ers now about 100 boys every night, and
some 3,000 different lads in the course of the
year. These boys are instructed every cve-
ning, and many of them provided with places
and trades.
(3.) They are providing with good homes
in the rural districts, from 700 to 800 children
each year, and have thus settled about 6,000
poor little ones since the foundation of the
Society. '
For this purpose two agents are constant-
ly employed in the West. .
For all these various enterprises the Soci-
ety cxpends only about $12,000 per annum.
The Trustees feel that they have the right,
in view of the great general importance of
the work, and its economy, to remind the
public at this time of their needs; and, they
are confident that their appeal will—as in
times past—be met liberally by all who feel
for suffering childhood. ‘ ,

West produced a startling effect here. A
certain class thought it was very fine; but
they who have yet the capacity to reflect,
knew it was an overt act of war; and it
would be rca sonable to expect to have laid
on them a heavy hand. The hours that en-
sued after the act till the next reports came
concerning the course of the government,
were hours of intense anxiety, and when it
became probable that the chastisemcnt
would be withheld, the relief was correspond-
ingly great: .

South Carolina, not only as to the extremes
to which matters have been pushed, but on

Mr Corwin on the Territorial Question.
On the subject of the extension of slave

said:
“With regard to the spread of slavery in
territories, he would ask them what did they
want with expansion? They had not slave
labor enough at the present momént to de-
velop the resources of their own States—
There were three hundred millions of acres
in Texas on which cotton could be cultiva-
ted, and he was told that one good hand was
equal tojfive bales of cotton. Calculations
would show that instead of wanting room
for expansion, instead of choking for breath-
ing room, they had as much productive soil
within their on states as would give em-
ployment to forty-five millions of negroes,
and their whole negro population was only .
four millions. He would repeat that the
North .had no desire to interfere with Slave-
ry in the States, and any guaranties to fur-
ther assure them of that fact they are ready
to grant. He hoped to see this mighty re-
public bound together by closer ties in the
