Republican State. Convention.
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 -

to nominate candidates for Statc Officers; to
appoints 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 crime in our public af-
fairs, it is to be hoped that every town Will
be fully represented, that the voice of the
‘ority as recentl expressed at the ballot
ay again be card, and that it.may be
iat the Republicans of Connecticut, op-
- any and all attempts come from what-
uarter they may, to dismember or_ dis-
he Union—are true to the prmcrplcs
founders of the republic as thus ex-
iby Mr. Jefferson, namely—“the sup-
" the State Government in. all _their
themost competent administration of
mestic concerns, anti}1 the sturcéit bul-
‘ a ‘i . anti-repu ican en encies;
prefix); 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 acquiescencesn
the decision of the majority, the'vrtal primi-
ple Of Republics." The people have decided
at the late election, that the present nus-
named Democracy have mismanaged the
public afi‘airs, and that a change of policy is
necessary to ensure our. national safety. and
rosperity. It therefore becomes highly
mportant that the Convention be fully at-
tended - and that every honorable _ means
should be 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.

Two Men Frozen to Death!
The terrible gale which swept from the
north, with alternate snow and rain, on
Thursday afternoon last, was the cause of a
most heart-rending scene on one of the Nor-
walkIslands, resulting in the death of James
Wickes and his eldest son,——-a worthy young
man of some twenty-three or four years of
age. The father, an Englishman by birth,
was a respectable and industrious operative
in one of our factories ; but being out of em-
' .1 ployment, and assured by the prospecf of a
warm and pleasant afternoon, had, with his
son, gone down in editsharpee” to Hay Island
to dig Clams for his family. The gale coming
up, and no prospects of an abatement of the
storm, they had evidently headed their boat
for home, and ‘ in tacking towards Round
Beach, it would appear that their skiff
grounded on the bar and filled, Here they
were first seen from the main land at Grego-
ry’s Point. The father was seen just above
the knees in the water with an car in his
hand becokning his son to follow, with the
evident purpose of wading across the bar (as
it waslow tide) to the main land. The son
came up towards the old man, but appeared
much fatigued, and was seen to fall twice
upon his hands and knees in .the water, and
finally crawled upon his hands and knees to-
wards theshore when he was lost sight of.
"The old mun. waded back to the Beach, and
was last seen when night set in standing on
the shore with his back to the wind—and
next morning was found on the same spot
lying frOzen stiff. The body of the son, as
yet, has not been recovered, although dilligent
search has been made therefor. He was un-
doubtedly washed away by the rising tide
and frozenyin the ice which now surrounds
the shore. Their boat can be seen imbedded
out in the ice, but as, yet it has been impos-
sible tO' reach it. ‘Mi'. Clarke Baldwin, one
of our Oyster-men, (who saved the lives
of NoahJoyce and his boy just about a year
ago,) who gives pus a detailed statement of
. the afi'air,'say's that'they were} seen by G. N.
Banks and George Ayres,, who were also
beating up in their boat from another Island,
and that they made an effort to go ‘for them,
but found it impossible to reach the Beach.
Mr. Baldwin, who was accompanied by
Clarke Bradley, first discovered them as they
were making Gregory’s Point from the
fbeaconhbut supposed they were in a condi-
':‘ition to take care of themselves. They reach-
ed the . Point House entirely wet through
Land benumbed; and it. was while “throwing
-, themselves Out" that the actual condition of
i» the poor creatures was seen from the win-
dow Of Nutter’s Hotel. They immediately
' unladen'e'd-‘their‘ boat of its load and made
every preparation to go for them in the event
of the winds Inning—although wet through
themselves and their boat wet and heavily
clogged with ice. But the wind continued
to increase rather than abate, andthey felt
that it would be an’act of madness on their
ipart-to attempt to venture after them. Mr.
'1 Baldwin remarked to us that it was a heart-
); rending sight to see the poor creatures strug.
igflpg for escape, within a pistol shot of 'the
. maiiiishore, and yet out of their pOWer to do
aught t8 save them. He says he should
have ,mbgg‘glgdly risked his his own life in.
an cffort’té rescue them if there had been the
I-iéast posuhié chance in so doing. Meantime
'th'e neWSTEached the Bridge, and officer Bis-
isell, E. PfWeed and Others, drove down. to
the'Poifit‘Hous-e' with the hope of devismg
some means for ‘-their rescue—glint -in'vain.

It seems to us that some provision should
be made by which persons in peril in the
waters of our harbor and the Sound, might
be rescued. Either a 1ife—boat,-or a good
whale boat should be kept at Gregory’s
Point, or other suitable place in readiness for
instant use at all times. Not a Summer even
passes, but some of our citizens are capsized
or otherwise imperiled by accidents in
boating on the waters of our Harbor. Who
will move in the matter?

Quite an excitement, and some little feel-
ing, as we learn, was occasioned on Sunday
evening, by a misunderstanding as to the
place where Rev. Mr. Gowen was to be mar-
ried. It had been firstgiven out that the
ceremony would take place at Smith’s Hall,
liisown place of worship, but Rev. Mr. Aus-
tin—the ofi‘iciatin g clergyman—very nat 'ural-
ly conjecturing that there would not be room
there to accommodate all 6 Mr. Goweu’s
friends who might wish to witness the inter.
esting ceremony, kindly offered to appropri-
' ate his own church for the service and to give
the needed information of the fact. _ But
somehow, as mistakes will happen sometimes
even’5at a wedding, the change of programme
didnlt‘seeni to be fully understood, and while
our clerigal friend was being bOund in, the
silken bands of Hymen, a large and edger
crowd of his most earnest friends were ini-
‘figiently awaiting his advent at the Hall.—
On first hearing the true condition of affairs,
some were disposed to feel that they had been
" sold,” but learning that it was a mistake for
which the happy Bridegroom was in no
ways responsible, we presume they will all
join with us in our most hearty congratula-

For Governor it will be seen that the Dem.

who, b his high legal attainments, by his
patriotic, national principles, b 'liis acknowl-
edged integrity, by his well 'nown moral
character, and by his uniformly kind and af-

qualified for the duties of the office.
W’Frmn all of which we take it that
_Mr. Loomis is considered a pretty clev'

But when, in his speech, in referring to the
Southern rebels who have fired‘on the flag
of our country, stolen the money, arms and
vessels pf the nation robbed the mails,, mob-
bed aud murdered our northern fellow-citi-
zens. he takes occasion to justify their atroc-

portion of the Conn‘cutDemocracy with him.

\Mnssns.EmTous—In these days of exci-
ting events, when every good citizen is ex-
peeled to show his colors, whether for or
against the Union and the Constitution of the
United States,-which every freeman has Sul-
I have thought. if '
might be interesting to a portion of your
readers to know that. this'little Town, away
up among the hills, is keenly lilive to the is-
sues daily unfolding throughout the entire
. country. A few days since a lengthy call . i
for a Union Meeting appeared upon our sign 1
post, to come off not many evenings hence. 1
As the call was a broad one, comprising men f
of‘ all parties, who were in favor of the Un-
ion, some of our Republican friends thought
it would be no intrusion to go. The Hon. J.
L., £511., (who signs his'r'iariic, when called
upon to do so, with the Esq. attached to it,
though I believe he has not filled that office
for many years,) was called to the Chair, and
the Hon. L. M. M. was duly elected Secreta-
ry. One would judge from his appearance
that he was pondering over in his mind the
ways and means used not many years ago,by
certain men there in the meeting, which cf-
fcctuaily prevented him from becoming the
P. M. of our town. The‘great speech of the
evening was made by the littleshoeniaker
orator, who evidently had prepared himself
for the occasion. (In .1‘ '
tion to'the orator, its; ,1‘ . made with any
view to disparage th ,. p”. for they are gen-
erally well read and hits} igent. There is al-
ways exceptions toga ”general rule.) He
traced disunionists- from" abOut the time of
the adoption of the Federal Constitution
down to the present time: The Hartford
Convention received a passing notice—nulli-Ii;
fication timesof ’42—tlic admission of Tex~
as in‘ ’45. But unclefiensung out“ '40;” evi- l
dently that year'had made a lasting impinge,
sion.on the old gentleman's memory... . “N 63*
,says the Hon.‘hpéaker,"‘ ’45 then ’ ~ .
'ri'ally‘he landed the machine; ‘ctly‘ int
the hands- of the Republican party. Then
commenced flights? of Oratory that were truly
.exhilirating;pthe flag ofjbur country was
preserved with not a star. or stripe lost, it
floated to thebrbdze in every port 'ainong the
civilized natiOns of the earth, it was truly
unfortunate that the timc'passed so rapidly
avvaf;’(the speakeralluded toita nuinberpf-
times, he did not intend to. go. so fan-but}
would goon.) He talked much about our
Southern brethren, but failed to tell us that
the flag he had been preserving was Spit up-
on and trzimpled lathe dust, the .Uniory’talk-l
ed about as a thing that was, the Constitution
not worth the paper upon which it was writ-
ten, the Federal Laws of no force, Arsenals,
Forts, Mints,'Hospitals, Navy .Yards, Ves-
sels and Barracks seized upon by his South-
ern brethren ; nor that there were Traitors to
their country in both Halls of Congress, and
swarming like ants in every department of
the Government. . It was ~natural to look
around among the audience to witness the
- affect of the orator‘s production, during its
delivery. For myself I was carried back to
my school-boy days. I then 'had no fears
that the young oratorsiwould break down,
for they had learned their pieces like a book.
'A similar feeling took possession ofmy mind
notwithstanding his hemming and choking,W
he would go through. Some sat with heads
down, Our worthy P. M. covering his face
with his hand, showed evident symptoms
that he had heard all he wished from that
quarter long before poor Kosta, on board the
Austrian man of war, was called up by the’.
Hon. speaker. The next gentleman thai ad-
dressed the meeting was the carpenter oraé
tor, with hair bristling out like his Southern '
brethren’s cannon from Forts Moultrie and“
Johnson, Casfie Pinckney and Morris Island
upon Fort Sumter, where on the tall flag-stall"
country. The gentleman looked back on a
group of Republicans, then at‘the Chairman,
evidently pondering over in his Imind “what
will these fellows think of me’in my new p0.
sition ?" Visions of past days may have
passed in panOramic views before him—first
might have appeared an old genuine Demo-
crat, then a Free Seller, then no distinction
of color at the polls, then an abolisher of
Slavery in Connecticut, then boxing the ‘en-
tire compass on the Temperance question,
then blOwing hot and then .cold, on '
nearly every political question of the day;
his past cherished squatter sovereignty doc-
trines upon which he had labored so ‘long,
were to be cast aWay, new light beamed in
, upon his mind; Congress has power to make
all needful rules and regulations respecting
the territories. He finally rose up, gavei'a;
few characteristic squibs, finally layifig the
Democratic Axe at the root of the Republi:
can Tree and sat down. As no One seemed
to be willing to speak, a Republican took the
floor as a Union Man—was attached 'to‘the‘
Union—in favor of the present Constitution.
and the enforcement of the laws—oppdsed to
the traitorous actions ,ofa number of-‘Stdtes
who were 'dctirmined to destroy this glorious
fabric. Other speakers made shOrt speeches,
- one having the rich broguc we heard so
imuch abOut a few years ago. Then came
the Miller orator with only one idea to inr-
press in any one speech; he read from a Chi-
cago paper, I think, extracts from old ‘Abe’s
speeches to prove him an Abolitionist. He
labored on the hill, then on the mountain-
side, and finally reached the summit, and'
proved it to his own satisfaction that he was,
one of the deepest dye. This Union meeting
was a great event for our little village; ‘ora-
shade the brightest luminaries that have gra-.
ccd our National Halls. When about 30-
'of’ the democratic union-savers assemble to-

Treason Plotted a Year Ago.
The Newark Daily Adeertiser‘has received
from its Paris correspondent copies of two
letters from a business house in Charleston to
another in Paris, which shows, in a more
practical way than has been done heretofore
that disunion has been a long-settled pur-
pose. The first letter waswritten a year ago
(January 4, 1860), ten months before the elec-
tion of Mr. Lincoln. It contained the follow-
ing passage: . ,
“The fact of the matter is just this; Our
United States has grown too large to remain
longer as "one country. It will soon be divi-
ded in two‘s Northern and Southern Con-
federacy. The South will not then purchase
.from the North, and will, therefore, be de-
pendent on all Europe. We will (the SOuth)
put 'a - heavy tariff on Northern goods, and
open our Southern ports free to all the rest
of the world. . ~
:“If France, or her manufacturers, want to
Iaell‘milll’o’ns-mpre than she now does, let her
watch the dissolutidn of this Union. We, of
the South-hope for it—wc pray for it. We
have the cotton and the rice. We of the
South are agriculturists—Northern half are
manufacturers.
The second letter, written November 13,
.1860, contains the following:
'3. “When the dissolution takes place, France
will sell the South, not the North, millions
and; millions of dollars. Will you tell us if
‘ on are lar e manufacturers, or only retailers!
' 9' you ma e the low-crown sod felt hats, or
who, does? What is the proper way of ship-
‘ping? We won’t buy any goods in France
if they are to come to our Southern portion
of the AT rnssnxr U; S. A. thro'ughthe Nor-
thern portion. You must look to your inter-
est. Te sell thousands ofDoIIars.
. “After the dissolution and .the duty taken
off France hats, we may expect to be vour
agents here. We have capital." '
The ‘Adcertmr’s correspondent adds:
“Themost ultra democrats on this side the
water; who clun' to their sinking ship till
longafter Line n's clectionfhfié no" were
for the President now but contempt and de-
testation. I have really met but one person
who favors secession. On New Year’s day,
at the Ambassador’s Mrs. Faulkner told me
that she was a Union man and so was her
husband—and, indeed, Mr. Faulknerhimself
(a Southern man) told me that there were no
evrls in the Union equal to secession or dis-
‘iinion. I belieycgnearly evey intelligent per-
son here looks upon a collision of the South
"with the North as the death knell'of slavgry.”
‘C.»
(13‘ 'Mr. Sickles of N. Y. city made Tues-
day a speech in the House of Representatives
in which he expressed conclusions upon the
subject of secession to which men of all par-
tiesat the North are rapidly coming. He sta-
ted that at lst he was willin to let disaffected
States go. But within the sat month it had
become violeno and aggressive, had led to the
seizure of United States forts and vessels, 'to
the firing on the United States fia , and to
the plunder of the United States ints and
Treasuries. It had consequently lost his
s mpathy and that 9f his political associates.
“ say in the presence of this new and last
phrase of the secession movement,”Mr. Sick-
les declared in conclusion, “that it can have
no friendsin the North, it can have no apolo-
gists in the North, and there will soon be no
exception to the general denunciationjvhi'ch
it must meet with from the loyal and patri-
otic citizens of the country.” "'
