The Republican Electors of the State of
Connecticut are requested to send Delegates
from the'several towns to a State Conven-
tion to be held in UNION HALL, New Ha-
ven, on
Wednesday, Feb. 27th,1861.
At 10 o’clock, A. M-
to nominate candidates for State Officers; to
appoint a/State Central Committee for the
ensuing year, and to do any other proper
business. . Each town to send delegates
equal to double the number of Representa-
tives in the General Assembly. .
At this important cmsrs in our public af—
fairs, it is to be hoped that every town Will
be fully represented, that the mice 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 prrncrples
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 cdncerns, 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 decided
at the late electiOn, that the, present mis-
named Democracy have mismanaged the
public affairs, and that a change of policy is
necessary to ensure our national safety. and
prosperity. It therefore becomes highly
important that the Convention be fully at-
tended; and that every honorable: means
should be used to sustain the incoming ad-
ministration, iii its defense of the Union and
the Constitution, and in the faithful execu-
tion of the laws.

SPEECH or MR. PERRY.
We publish herewith the able and earnest
appeal of. our Representative in Congress, to
which reference was made in our last. We
do not propose to refer to it in the words of
flattery. We only earnestly cntreat our Re-
publican friends not only to read it them-
selves, but if they have a democratic friend
or neighbbr who is not entirely lost to rea-
son, to read it also. We will trust Mr. Fer-
ry’s positions in the hands of any and all
honest loversof the Union and the Constitu-
tion. Its logic is irresistable-«its high mor-
al tone must challenge the respect of every
Christian man and patriot. Let it be read
and circulated: The Washington Corres-
pondent of the New Haven Courier thus re-
fers to its effect upon the House:
To-day, Hon. 0. S. Ferry, of the Fourth
District, made the speech. I hardly dare write
precisely what I think of it, as much allow-
ance must be made for State pride. A friend -
who sat near, and is himself one of the bril-
liant speakers of this Congress, said “It’s the
best speech made in either end of the apitol this
session.” It was written, and forced e undi-
vided attention of all present. I say forced
—for all who have seen the House during
the ordinary reading of speeches know that
it is the time members take themselves busily
to writing and reading; and it was almost
comical to watch the papers that one by one
dropped, the unfinished letters shoved aside,
‘the conversation finally hushed, and the per-
fect stillness at last. During one portion,
where the influence and power of New Eng-
land men and New England institutions were
vividly portrayed, I noticed quite atableaux.
He was speaking of the religious element of
New England character and the strict fideli-
ty to convictions of duty of our people,when
Vallandigham, and Maynard, of Tennesse,
began whispering as though to ridicule it, fit-
ly, of course; because I believe both are de-
gfnerate Yankees; at all events one is,—for
aynard was born in Massachusetts. They
kept it up, perhaps two or three minutes, but
had to yield to. the spell at last, and main-
tained a respectful bearing after it.
«Duo—~—
The Crittenden Compromise.
We invite a careful reading of the follow-
ing clear and explicit statement of the Orif-
tenden Compromise, the passage of which so
many are anxious for, without understanding
its bearings upon the Slavery issue. We clip
it from the Hartford Press, and have no hes-
itation in pronouncing the Breckenridge Plat-
form, which we append, as preferable to the
Crittenden measure: -
KEEP CLEAR 0F IT.~—-Tliere is a desperate
effort to commit republicans to the Critten-
den Surrender, falsely called a compromise.
We do not believe that the measure, without
,_ modification, will ever pass Congress, and if
it does it will never be ratified by the state
legislatures. ,And it will provoke the most
violent agitatlbn that the North has ever un-
dergone.
Breckinridge, who refused to say that he
would submit to the result of the election, is
the originator of this concession, demanded
', of a republican government as the price of
its existence.
' Mr. Crittenden demands that slaves shall
be freely transported through the free states.
And as to the territories, he cannot have the
benefit of even the pretense that it is the re-
vival of the Missouri Compromise. Let us
compare them: ' '

The Missouri Compromise said nothing
about slavery south of its dividing line, but
left it to its fate; but the Crittendeu plan rec-

whetlfe’r human settlements yet exist or not
and dédlfiijogthat it “shall be protéclggl‘b‘y‘ all
. departments’of the territorial {/orornment du-
ring its continuance.”
And Crittcnden’s chief propositions are to
be made a part of the constitution, and the
only sacred part, for they are never to be
amended.
Suppose that a territory below 36.30 fills
up with free state men, and has free state
judges and other officers appointed by Mr.
Lincoln or his republican successor, and a.
republican legislature. Ten 'slavcholders
with a hundred slaves move in and demand
a code protecting all their interests. The
legislature, judges and governor must give
them all protection or the South will call it
a cheat, and demand a congressional slave
code and the “enforcement of the laws” at
the point of the bayonet, with the alternative
of another dissolution.
-If the North grants everything cheerfully,
the South will fillibuster and bribe and make
us fight for the acquisition of Cuba, Mexico
and Central America, and having duly pre-
pared everything would secede again and
set up their slave confederacy in grand style.
The Crittenden Surrender is the plot of dis-
unionists and slavery propagandists to de-
bauch a few people, and, having used them,
cast them off.
Notice particularly that the Missouri Com-
promise “foreeer” prohibited slave'ry abpvc
36.30, and established or protected it nowhere,
only giving slavery an equal chance to get in
below. And then note that Crittenden “rec-
ognizes” ant “protects,” i. e. virtually estab-
lishes slavery below the line, and omits the
word “forever” in prohibiting it above. The
old compromise paid its respects first to free-
dom, mentioning slavery only to prohibit it;
the new one is an infamy never before di-
rectly asked of this country—a national rec-
ognition and protection of slavery in nation-
al territory, even in those sections where it
was thirty-five years ago abolished by semi-
civilized Mexico. '
Having thus considered the Crittenden
Compromise,in so far as it touches the ques-
tion of the extension of Slavery, we now in-
vite a comparison of it with the Breckiu-
ridge Platform, against which we battled so
earnestly in the Presidential canvass:
1. That the Government of a Territory or-
ganized by an act of Congress, is provisional
and temporary; and during its existence, all
citizens of the United States have an equal
right to settle with their property in the Ter-
ritory, without their rights either of person
or property, being destroyed or impaired by
Congressional or Territorial legislation.
2. That it is the duty of the Federal Gov-
ernment, in all its departments, to protect,
when necessary, the rights (if persons and
property in the Territories, and wherever
,else its Constitutional authority extends.
3. That when the settlers in a Territory
having an adequate population, form a State
Constitution, in pursuance of law, the right
of sovereignty commences, and, being con-
summated by admission into the Union,they
stand on an equal footing with the peopleof
other States; and the State thus organized
ought to be admitted into the Federal Union
whether its Constitution prohibits or recog—
nizes the institution of slavery. ~

DEAR SIR :—Tlie semen of the Rev.
Henry J. Van Dyke, of .Brooklyn, N. Y., is
having a most healthful influence among the
Republicans in this vicinity. It is the boat
electioneerifig document of the day—owning as
it does from the pulpit. . Can we not have it
circulated in every family in Connecticut? I
will raise $15 in SomerS, and you may put
me down $5(five dollars) as my subscription.
I want 150 copies for Somers. Let us have
it in any event; in large type, that the old,
the bigoted, and the intolerant may read and
learn. Respectfully your‘s, G. C. \V.
“It is the best electioneering document of the
day l” of course it is; and those “old, bigoted
and intolerant” fellows, they should be put
through on the “large lype”—certaiiily,“large
type” for those “old, bigoted and intolerant”
Republican sinners! So hurry up the sub-
scriptions, and if any more ministers Can be
found sufficiently deluded or degraded to
preach disunion politics and deify Slavery, as
an institution encouraged and sustained by
the Bible, why let them hurry up and preach
more sermons! The stock is very limited,
and the time for exerting that “healthful in-
fluence” on those “old bigots” is short—the
Spring election will soon be upon us!

Getting Ready.
The Democratic State Convention is to
assemble at New Haven on Wednesday of
the present week. To augment the harmony
of that body, one the Editors of the Hartford
Post has been drawing out Gen. Pratt, “Gov-
ornor of Rocky Hill,” in a long letter, where-
in the Connecticut Jackson, unbosoms him-
self of all “the bitter burning wrongs he has
in his heart’s hot cells shut up,” since their
last State Convention. It will be remember-
ed that the wary General it was claimed at
the time, was entirely thrown off his guard
by a sort of decoy letter from Chepultepec,
who “went in to win” and did win. The in-
dignation of the Gen. however finds vent in
a publication of Seymour’s letter to him, and
then concludes as follows:
“I have never censured the Democratic
party, nor the Convention of 186 for (lomg
what might seem. to have been b st With a
view to party triumph; but the conduct of
Gov. Seymour was such that my.own self-
respect forbade me having anything to do

The same after Election “‘3 Before! !
The intriguers, says the [flu-(fwd Press, ‘
who use the disunion movement to extort
an abandonment of constitutional rights, ,
every day invent stories that Mr. Lincoln is
goiug'to say or do this or that, issue a beg-.
ging address, propose a compromise, or in .
seine way prove false. The confiding peo—
ple selected him above all others because he
was not like certain professional politicians
who call themselves statesmen and consider
statesmanship a steady trade in principle—
in short, because he was an HONEsT'A'iAN' and
would fulfill his pledges or die.
At Washington, on Sunday and Monday,
a batch of stories started to ' the effect that
he had written letters advising a sacrifice of
the Chicago Platform. \ The Tribune of
Wednesday says: “ We do not hesitate to say
that these statesmen” are false'andcaluonm'ous.
We have the bestuuthoriq/ for saying that Mr.
Lincoln is opposed to all concession of the
sort. We know that his views are fully ex-
pressed in his own language as follows :”
“ I will suffer death before I will consent
or advise my friends to consent to any con-
cession or compromise which looks like buy-
ing the privilege of taking possession of the
government to which we have a constitu-
tional rignt; because whatever I might think
of the merit of the various propositions be-
‘fore Congress, I should regard any conces-
sion in the face of a menace as the destruc-
tion of the government itself, and a consent
on all hands that our system shall be brought
down to a level with the existing disorganiz-
ed state ot‘ affairs in Mexico. But this thing
will hereafter be, as it is now, in the hands
of the people; and if they desire to calla
Convention to remove any grievances com-
plained of or to give new guaranties for the
performance of vested rights, it is not mine
to oppose.”
And a despatcli from Springfield, Illinois,
dated Tuesday, 29th, says:
This morning’s Journal contains an au-
thoritative contradiction of a Washington
dispatch to the press, stating that Mr. Lin-
coln had written to his congressional friends
recommending conciliatory measures. It
says the country may rest assured that in
Abraham Lincoln they have a Republican
President—one who will give them a Repub-
lican Administration. Mr. Lincoln is not
committed to the border state compromise,
nor to any other. He stands iminovably on
the Chicago Platform, and he will neither ac-
quiesce in,nor counsel his friends to asquiesce
in, any compromise that surrenders one mm
of it.

Mr DEAR—z Ihiwe yonriiotc. Thanks. 7,
I hope to God the Republicans are not going
to be so cowardly, so base, and so foolish
withal, as to surrender under the pressure of '
Secession and Secession . threats. Good
heavens! Of what stuff are they made ‘3—
They have only to swim firm and say:
“We have done nothing wrong; you have
and shall have everything you have a right
to have; but, what you have no right to de-
mand—what it would be wrong, base and
disgraceful for us to grant—we never will
grant, no, never, never, never. We have
rights as welt as you; rights that are our
duties, too, and by the Eternal God; we shall
stand on them, come what may. Secede on
paper as much as you please.
We will not make war upon you for that,
but we will maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution and the laws. If you make war
upon the Union we will defend it at all cost,
and the guilt of blood be on your heads;—
Vo‘dcal Dominus—let the Lord be judge be-
tween us.
Stand on this, continue to stand on this;
stand firmly, stand all of you—and things
will come right. The stars in their course
fight against secession; all historical laws,
all causes, political and economical, fight
against it. _
Secession is suicidal, as inevitably suicidal
in the long result as taking a mortal dose of
arsenic is suicidal to him who knowingly and
willingly takes it.
“I do not say that if the slave States shall
be deliberately agreed and determined by and
by to unite together and set up a separate
Union for themselves, I would, ‘cocrce’ them
to stay. I would let them try the exper-
infent if they would go peaceably and hen-
estly.
But not now, and not as now. Let them
restore plunder: let them atone for the in-
sults and wrongs done; let them (perhaps)
surrender some of the traitors for trial and
condign punishment. Let them behave hon-
orably and honestly first. Then, if go they
will, my voice is fo‘ let them go. Let them
eat the fruit of their own doings; let them
eat the fruit of their own devices. I shall be
sorry for them. But perhaps, it is the best
way to open their foolish eyes. They will
find the Union was the only buttress for their
slavery.
But as to ‘compromises’. and ‘concessions’
to prevent such a result. Bali! Compro m-

‘Slave property.’ within the meaning of the

ever consent to such a construction, or to
any amendment introducing such a doc-

The ‘right of transit’ with slaves through
the FreeStates, and of temporary holding
them there—and consequent conversion of
Castle Garden into a slave market (guarded,
if need be, and would be, by Federal bayo-

in order to facilitate her slave trade with Tex-

that we will ever consent to it.

FOWLERISM IN ROCKY HILL.
The absconding democratic postmaster of
Rocky Hill, be robbed the mail and ran
away about wo months ago, has not yet
been heard from, though his brother-in-law
has lately advertised $50 reward for his re-
turn, “ and no questions asked.” His name
is Henry Webb—describe as 50 years of age;
He is long believed by his neighbors to have
been dishonest. Gen. Pratt doubted the re-
ports of Webb’s dishonest practices, till con-
vinced by finding letters which Webb had
abstracted from the mail, abroken open and
robbed of the sum of money which the let-
ters stated would be found enclosed. Fifty—
seven letters were found, mailed by people
ed the stamps and sold them, never sending
the letters—a style of small rascallity rival-
ing the counterfeiting of three cent pieces.—
He is supposed to have robbed the office to
the amount of about $200. Instead of being
arrested and sent to state prison, he 1113 se-

information has beerf‘ received from Mil-

Georgia” ‘onveution, Harrison W. Riley, a
prominent citizen of the mountain region,
“proclaimed that if the State seceded, he
would raise a art to take possession of the
U. S. Mint at ah one a, and hold it in the
name of the Fedora Government. This
caused great excitement at Milledgville, and
the Governor was urged to send a military
force to Dahlonega. but had not done so at
the last accounts.
The same authority states that the moun-
tain region of Georgia is strongly for the

in Picken’s county when the news arrived

fi'Oneof' our Cotton merchants on

The slaves on a cotton plantation, whose

to make a crop for themselves each year
in order to furnish themselves with hol-
iday funds and pocket money ; a few
days since sent down their orop, consis-
ting of 38 bags of cotton, to our friend,
who is their master’s factor, to be sold.
Aocoompsnying the cotton was a letter,
in whicd the negroes all joined, request-
ing that their cotton be sold for the best
price it would bring in this market. and
with the addi‘ional request that their
factor should, if it was necessar , retain

propriated for tli: purchase of “powder

summit: on THE NEW-ORLEANS MINT,
Great indignation is felt at the seizure and =
robbery of the Mint in New Orleans by the
Secessmnists. Gen. Dix gave the Adams
. flea—«m, -..-.-
1 Express an order tondays ago to draw $350,-
000 of $380,000 of silver bullion and coin in
the hands of tlic Sub-Treasurer. That ofli-
ccr feigned some excuse for delay, when the
Express agent proposed to take part of it at
l once, as the wholi amount weighed nine
; tnns, and would require five or six days for
transportation. This suggestion was declin-
ed, and on Friday he was informed that the
State authorities had appropriated the Mint
and money. Gen. Dix telegraphed to the
sub-Treasurer yesterday, after receiving this
mtelli once, to have it verified officially.—
There is no doubt of collusion between Fe-
deral and State officers, and the robbery is
believed to have been advised from here.
Tun REVENUE CUTTER.
An agent from the Treasury Department
was recently dispatched to Mobile and New
Orleans with instructions to save the two'
Revenue cutters at those points, if 00550119.
The Lawn Cass was at Mobile, and be pro-
bably reached there too late, as she is report-
ed to have been taken. The Robert McClel-
land, the finest cutter in the service, was near
New Orleans when the agent started. As
no confidence was placed in her captain,
Gen. Dix’s instructions required the ‘first.
lieutenant to assume command, and if the
the captain resisted to arrest him for mutiny.
If the agent reached his destination in time
to communicate with the cutter, she is pro-
bably saved to the Government, otherwise
she has doubtless been betrayed, after the
example at Charleston.
THE DUTY 0N sUCAR.
There is a strong disposition to repeal the
duty on sugar, which gives twenty-four per
cent protection to a State in open rebellion
against. the Government. The $7,000,000
revenue from that source can be raised by a
loan, .if' necessary, for a year or two until
LouiSiana returns to her allegiance. When
this item was before the Special Tariff Com-
mittee 0f the Senate, Messes. Hunter and
Gwiu, who had not attended any meeting,
were brought in by Mr. Biglcr and voted to
retain the protection, though both are free-
traders. The conspirators are for making
the most out of the government they are
plotting to overthrow. This duty must be
repealed. .-
COL. HAYNE’S COMMUNICATION.
. Col. Hayne made his formal communica-
tion to the President yesterday. So far from
demanding the surrender of Fort Sumter as
the ultimatum, the tone is quite pacific and
conciliatory. Gov. Pickens and the State
authorities do not desire a collision, and have
exerted their influence to prevent it. The
outside pressure is for tight, but the reckless-
ness has been restrained by those who know
that it would involve a large loss of life with-
out accomplishing the object. Fort Sumter
cannot be taken with the force and appliances
now before it. - .
FORT SUMTER.
Major Anderson informed the War De-
partment yesterday that his former contrac-
tor for provisions was again supplying the
garrison, and his force was in good condi-
tion, and abundantly furnished under this ar-
rangement.
INSUBORDINATION AMONG THE REBELS.
An officer of the navy, just from Pensaco-
la, states that great insubordination exists
among the Volunteer troops, and some of
them were dispering and returning home
disgusted. He heard a private in one com-
pany denounce his commander as a coward,
and worse. Fort Pickens was constructed
under the supervision of Major Chase, who
now commands the insurgents. He knows
its strength, which may explain the indispo-
sition to attack it.
‘ THE VIRGINIA CONFERENCE.
A large number of Commissioners to the
peace Congress have arrived, and principally
from the border States. They are about as
harmonious in opinion as their Representa-
tives in Congress. Three members of Gene
Taylor’s Cabinet, Messrs. Johnson, Ewing,
and Meredith, are among them. The Repub-
lican Legislature of New Jersey have gent a
delegation to represent their opinions, as
against the Doughfaces selected by the maj-
ority. Gov. Chase is on the ground.
THE PROTECTION OF THE CAPITAL.
Another company of flying artillery reach-
ed here this morning, much to the diatom-
fort of the conspirators, who would like to
seize the capital and public departments
Without opposition, and have the advantage
of that possession to give them prestige in
seeking recogriitien abroad. Disappointment
makes them ma‘ignant.
Jacob Thompson testified before the Spe-
cial Committee that various plans of the Sc-
cessionists had been discussed in his presence,
and sometimes at his house, by leadiug‘men
templated, first, the seizure of this capital;
second, means to prevent the counting of
the Presidential votes, and third, resistance
to Mr. Lincoln’s inauguration, He stated
that lie regarded these propositions as fool-
ish and criminal, and believed they had lat-
terly been abandoned, and all efforts concen
trated upon separate State action. which he
justified and approved. His policy would
lead to the same results, by different means,
because if Virginia and Maryland can be
coerced into disunion, the design is to re-
clain Washington as a part of the territory
of the latter.
Gen. Scott dined with the President yes-
'terduy, which is sufficient answer to the ru-
mors of their disagreement.
Mr. Buchanan has finally given the entire
control of the protection of this city to the
War Department, and no lon er supervises
the orders as heretofore. Mr. olt and Gen.
Scott, have the best understanding, and per-
fect security and peace are now guarantied.
' THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
Several Republican Senators have en
approached to know if they would confirm
Judoe Black, should he be nominated for
the Supreme Court. Mr. Biglcr did not get
much encouragement. When Mr. Bucha-
nan was Secretary of State under Mr. Polk,
he had a vacancy on that Bench kept open
four months for his own accommodation b
the Democratic majority in the Senate. W3C
propose to suspend it for thirty days.

New Orleans H spital Affairs.
Secretary Dix, on the‘27th and 28th, wrote
and telegm lied very sharply to Collector
Hatch 0t ew Orleans concerning the seiz-
ure of the U. S. Marine Hospital near that
city for the use of the State troops, and the
order for the instant removal of the 216 pa
.tieiits. He denounced the affair as an out-
rage to the public authority, and “revolting
t0 the civilization of the age,” and requires
the Collector to explain the fact, that the
barracks were seized on the 11th, but his let-
ter was not written till the 14th, mailed till
the Blst or 23d, and received the 26th. He
directs the Collector to rcmonstrate with the
Governor and take every care of the sick.—
Judging from the tone of the newspapers
and this transaction “in violation alike of' the
usage and humanity which in open war ex—
ist between contending parties, even in the
most rcvengeful conflicts between kindred
races,” the Secretary fears that no public
property will be respected, and directs that
no more money be expendgd upon the reve-
nue cutter Washington now hauled up for
repairs, until he can have the assurance that
she will not be seized as soon as refitted and
taken into the service ofthose wlio,are seek-
ing to break up the Union.
In reply to Mr. Dix’s telegram, Collector
Hatch telegraphs on the 28th that the affair.

retained. What terms are made does not

Maj r Anderson’s Baplgnfitiog.
The Mlmvir'ig note from Major Anderson,
written Jan. ll—two days after the firing
into the Starof the “rest—is the first an-
thentic wuril directly from him since that
event:
“\thther a bloodless separation can now
be effected after her (South Carolina) foolish-
ly tiring upon a vessel bearing our flag, the
other day, I think very doubtful. I was sore-
ly tempted 10 open my battery, but, perhaps
fortunately for the chance of having matters
settled without bloodshed, I could not have
touched the battery that opened upon her and
my defenses icerajusl then in such a condition
that [could not hare opened the tour. I am
now nearly ready. The people have sup-
posed that this work was ready to be defend-
ed when I came in. It was far from it and
it would take me, even now, one week’shard
work to have it in a complete state. M
command is only one-eighth of what it should
be in time of war—but though small in num-
bers I feel strong in the confidence that
Providence will guard and guide me safely
through any dangers that threaten.
E” It having been said that Mr. Lin-
coln is in favor of.the Border State Plan of
settling our present difficulties when the pro-
per times comes for a compromise, we give
it below to refresh the memories of our
readers. Its provisions are:
1. Recommending a repeal of all the Pet-
sonal Liberty bills.
2. That the Fugitive Slave law be amend.
ed for the preventing of kidnapping, and $0
as_t0. provide for the equalization of the Com-
missmners’ fee, &c.
3. That the Constitution be so amended as
to prohibit any interference with slavery in
any of the States where it now exists.
. 4. That Congress shall not abolish slavery
in the Southern dockyards, arsenals, &c..
nor in the District of Columbia without the
consent of Maryland and the consent of the
inhabitants of the District, noi- without com-
pensation.
5..That Congress shall not interfere with
tho5 total-State slave trade. ' 'V
. .‘ at there shall be a e '-
bition of the African slave tpaé'petual proln
7. That the line of 36 degrees 30 minutes
shall be run through the existing territory of
the United States; that in all north of that
line slavery shall be prohibited, and that
south of that line neither Congress nor the
Territorial Legislature shall hereafter pass
any law abolishing, prohibiting, or in any
manner interfering with African slavery;and
that when any Territory containing a suffi-
cient population for one member of Con ress
in any area of 60,000 square miles shal ap-
ply for admission as a State, it shall be ad-
mitted with or without slavery, as its Con-
stitution may determine.
The N. Y. Tn'bzme denies, very positively
the truth of the-report from Washington
that Mr. Lincoln is disposed to make any

concessions. The *World repeats the same
denial, on the authority of a letter from

W Herrick Allen’s Gold Medal Salemtus
is as healthy as the purest flour; will prove
a great saving in that article; is peculiarly
adapted to benefit weak stomachs and dys-
peptic persons; is much more healthy and
economical than baking powders, and greatly
preferred to soda to use with cream tartar.—
Grocers may say they have as good. They
are mistaken. It is the best in the world.—
the Gold Medal or none.

WThe Rev. J. C. Fletcher gave us last
evening, a brilliant lecture _on the religion,
customs and people of Brand. Seldom have
we relished any thing more than the picture
he laid before his audience of thatcxuberant
garden of the tropics laden With its strange
variety of fruits and flowers, teeming in per-
petual harvest for the hand of man. Surely
that country must be the garden of .the world
and if its people had _the‘ enterprize which
moves this Yankee nation, imagination could
not set a bound to the results they would pro-
duce there- As relevant to this comparison
the Reverend gentleman stated that the best
Remedies employed there for the diseases to
which they are subject, are invented and sup-
plied to them b our own well known coun-
tryman, Dr. J. ‘. Ayer of Lowell, Mass, and
that not people only, but the priesthood and
and the court of the Emperor down, have
constant recourse in sickness to the Remedies
of this widely celebrated American Chemist.

Hunnewell’e Toln Anodyne and its pool;

By com arisons or analogies with which questions
are- deci ed, there are none more in] rtant than
such as relate to disease. We claim that the efi‘ect of
op mm on the system is against all natural laws. and
the witnesses to results, both by tient and physlc~
am, if they speak their mind, will unify the remark.
In the use or odium (whose introduction is centuries
inside of that of Cannabis) nearly the entire product
is used for other than medicine. at any person
visit a hospital or sick room, and witness the state
of patients under what is called sleep with the use of
opium.,oi.preparations of Opium. and the Will see
that it is merely negative._ 1; is some more or
less than a torpid stupefactiou. and of such nutm-
that all disease is aggravated rather than cured, an
the patient awaken from an unnatural rest, in a
worse state than without the opium. Opium is also
a violent constipator, producin indigestion and
derangement of the bowels, like a l unnatural stim-
ulants. The active principle of the Anodyne not
only produces the most quiet. natural, and refresh-
ing rest, but allows nature under that actual state to
come in and do her portion of the work, by giving
what real sleep and real rest are intended for. It is
also a cathartic in effect, and does not disturb the
natural action of the bowels. Therefore wherever,
or for whatever opium was ever used, let the Ano-
dyiie take its place, and our declarations will in all
cases be assented to by fair trial. he present pro-
prietary form is its rotection, and let the proprie-
tors be sustained by the acceatance of hysic an and
patients, and much suffering ill be prgvcnt . F

WThe greatest preservative of beauty known to
modern science, is rofessor Wood‘s Hair Restora-
tive and Cosmetic. Among the most lin rtent
features of female beauty, are a luxuriant of
hair and a fine complexion ; both of which should be
guarded as sacred, treasures, for either may be lost
by nglect, or preserved by the use of the above
nam article; .eley ls den tons. We seldom un-
dertake, editorially, to en orse what are called
“Hair Restoratlves," as knowing full well that the
great majority of such preparations are entirely

Where glooininess is rampant now,
And hopes anew shall wake.
