UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

[We reprint from our last issue the obser-
vations preliminary to the following article ]

We propose, in our next issue, to commence the
publication ofa short series of articles, under the
above title. The recent action of‘ the General As-
sembly, referring to the people the question of a
further extension of the sum-age, renders it eminent-
ly proper that there should ‘be a full and fair consider-
ation of the subject, preliminary to the ballot. And
fortunately, the subject is presented to us disembar-
assed ofall extraneous issues. We have no occa-
sion to trouble ourselves about what the Federal
Government will do, or ought to do. We are not
called upon to vote on matters affecting other and
distant communities. The question relates to Con-
nectfcut and only to Connecticut. The people of
this State, in their primary capacity, as the source
of all rightful politial pOWCr within its limits, will
make their choice between limited and universal
aufi'rage. It is every grave question. It goes down
to the foundations of the social structure and accor-
ding to its decision will our love and respect for
genuine Democracy be judged.

It will be npcessary, in the outset of‘ such a dis-
cussion, to revert, to some extent, to the elements-
ry principles, which underlie our frame of govern-
ment. We ask the attention and patience of our
readers in this portion of our argument, believing
that its presentation is necessary to an intelligent
Judgment Ofthe conclusion to which We shall arrive.

I.

The radical difference between the an-
cient and modern forms of civilization con-
sists in the recognition, by the latter, of cer-
tain rights appertaining to each and every
man, for the sole reason that he is a man .—
The Greek or the Roman knew nothing of
these; his fundamental law was force; the
strongest was always the most righteous.
The Englishman or the American, on the
other hand, professes to determine the rela-
tions of men to each other in the social state.
according to certain laws of moral rectitude,
whose origin is clearly traceable to the Di-
vine command, “ Thou shalt love thy neigh-
bor as thyself.”

In the American theory of society, person-

al liberty, in other words, individual 'free-,
dom, occupies the foremost position among

these fundamental rights. While I may for-

forfeit this liberty by crime, no man, or au-

thority, so long as I am innocent, may justly

deprive me of it, and all limitations upon it

are only so far lawful as they are made with

my consent, express, or fairly implied. It

fellows that in the association of individuals.

which is called the State, the men who exer-

cise the funCtious of GOvernment, which is a

limitation of individual freedom, derive all

their just powers, from the consentof the

governed. All men, possessing, by virtue of
their manhood, equal rights to the exercise of
political functions, a government based upon

natural right, would necessarily be a pure

Democracy; that is, so much of Law, as
should be needful for the well-being of the
community, wouldhe enacted by the unani-
mous consent of all the individuals compo-
sing that community. But here, from the
imperfection of human nature, and human
capacity, -two limitations necessarily arise,
viz:

1. All the individuals of aState will be
unabfcto agree in the enactment of laws.—
But as law is necessary, and the opinion of

 

 

either the greater or lesser number must pre-
vail in Its creation, the nearest approximation
to natural right will be, to devolve the law-
making power for the Whole, upon the ma-
jority of the whole. The right of the ma—
jority, therefore, is based upon the two-fold
foundation of the natural . rights and the
natural necessities of man.

2. Another limitation springing from the
physical incapacities of the race, will be
found in the impossibility, in acountry of
any considerable territorial extent, of gath-
ering together the whole people ina single
assembly. But, as we have seen that the
essence of rightful government consists in
the consent of the governed fairly ex—
pressed through tlie majority, and as this
consent may as readily be indicated through
the agency of others as by personal declara-
tion, the Representative system is naturally
evolved by this latter limitation, and equally
with a pure democracy, finds its ultimate ba
sis in natural right, and when exercised
strictly upon that basis, may with sufficient
propriety, be designated a Democracy.

The foregoing limitations, it will be seen,
are necessary, arising from the natural or
physical constitution of man. They are the
only limitations known to. the, Declaration
of Independence, which should ever bere-
vered as the American Magus Charts. The
disqualificatious of sex and immaturity are
only apparent, not real. The woman and
he child vote already in the husband and the
father. The normal Condition of the adult
man and woman is marriage; in marriage,
they are one, and the ballot which the larger
and more muscular hand casts, is the act of
this divinely-ordained unity. That there is a
period of immaturity, when the child must
be represented by the father, all agree; socie-
ty only determines when that period shall
cease. ’
But, to return. We have alluded to the
Declaration of Independence, not by way of
authority, but because its political doctrines
underlie the whole growth and development
of American Society. They are the key-
note of American progress. So long as we
move in the direction which they indicate,
we shall grow better, wiser, purer ; shall ap~
prdximate more nearly to, the pattern of a
perfect State. And this, not because thee
Declaration ~rccites these maxims, but be-
cause they are true. They are, in no respect,
original in that instrument; unconsciously,
probably, to the statesman _wlio penned the
words, he was only incorporating, for the
first time, in the charter of a nation. those
great truths, whose seminal principles were
exhibited, centuries ago, in the divine teach.
ings of tee Author of Christianity.

There were indeed, at first, practices “in-
tagouistic to the axioms of the Declaration.
The old feudal law of primogeniture, limit-
ing the capacity Qf inheritance to the eldest
son and laying the sure foundation of Aris-
tocracy, prevailed in many of the States.—
The restriction of the suffrage to the holders
of land, another remnant of aristocratic iu-
stitutions, was well—nigh universal. Chattel
slavery, a system inveterateiy hostile to the
principles of the Declaration. prevailed in
every State of the Union. But circumstan-
ces had planted those principles too deeply
in the instincts of the American people to
allow them to be overwhelmed by these an-
tagonisms. The entire life of the Colonies,
prior to the Revolution, was a training for
the establishment of a nation, whose gov—
ernment should rest upon the political equali—
ty of individuals, and the consent of the
governed. Necessity compelled the settlers
of our Atlantic coasts to leave behind them
the old feeling of dependence on kings,
lords, and gentlemen. There Were savage
tribes to conquer, wild beasts to extirpate,
unbroken forests to clear away, and-a primi~
tive soil to break up and cultivate. Agricul~
lure, commerce, manufactures, all had to be,
as it were, created. And for this the colo-
nists were to depend only upon God and
themselves. Here, in a new world, hem—
med iu between the ocean and the wilderness,
they were left to grow up to the stature of'
individual manhood. For a hundred and

 

fifty years God trained them thus, and the

l;

 

result was a people, different from any the
world had ever known before.
Thus, the first true Democracy of history

‘ was born in the shadowy forests, and grew

strong in the contests of individual man
with primitive nature. It uttered itself in
language that has shaken the world, in the
Declaration of Independence. From that
moment, its progress and development have
been sure. Primogeniture fell before if.
Property restrictions upon suffrage survived
a little longer, only to perish in their turn.
Slavery closed in a death-grapple with it,
and perished in blood and fire. One barrier
to its final triumph remains, viz : the denial
of rights, by reason of diversity of race, and
upon this we propose to speak in our nut
article. ' -

Found Drowned . -

A widow lady named Julia Westlake, re-
siding on Washington Street.South N orwalk,
was found drowned in a well in" the yard
ofher residence, on Friday morning last.
She arose about 4 o’clock, opened all the
doors and windows in the house, then went
out in the yard and it is thought deliberate-
1y let herself down into the well, as there
were no bruises on her person except one
small cut on the forehead. She has been
subject to temporary fits of derangement ~of
mind, since the loss of a nephew, who died
from wounds received in the battle of Get-
tysburg. This nephew and sister" had been
brought up by her, their own parents dying
when they were quite young. She had
made arrangements to visit New York with
her ueice on that day, and her clothes Were
packed over night, they expecting to leave
on the steamboat in the morning. She was
missed, early in the morning and on search
being instituted, her body was found in the
well at about 5 o’clock. Her remains were
taken to New York for interment On Satur-
day morning.

natural, desire of the people to have a grand
Peace Oakbrati'on on the coming anniversa—
ry of our National Independence. Shall we
have one in Norwalk ? ‘If so we must be up
and doing. Our neighboring towns, Dau-
bury, Stamford and Bridgepnrt are already
busily engaged in making extensive arran-
gements for. the proper observance of the
day. Norwalk has more material fora good
celebration than any place between New

take hold of the matter with proper spirit,
We can get up a celebration to be proud of.
The expenses can be paid by the town, or
met by subscriptions from the whole people,
and who. is not willing to contribute some-
thing for a grand celebration of the ever
glorious Fourth and the return of Peace.
Oh yes, let us celebrate, by all means.

Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, J uue 18th.

There is little transpiring at the National
Capital that the great Metropolitan press
and the electic wires do not spread over the
continent, the instant of development.

At the War Department all is activity in .
mustering out the war-worn veterans who
have withstood the shock of battle till now
rosy-lippcd Peace dawns upon our heroic
land. The- tramp of soldiers is still heard
here, but how changed from a few brief
months agone. Then they marched to the
front, with regretful. thoughts and pnxious
fears for the dear ones left behind. Now
their martial tmad law be mustered (mt—the
Pug/master in their eye, and norm and wife
and children and parents and loved ones in
their hearts. And how will anxious hearts
andtearful eyes all over New England hills,
rejoice in the long-looked for good time now
come-as the husband, the father, the son
safely returns to their peaceful homes laden
with immortal honors. Surely there is but
one national debt we cannot pay and that is
to these brave men whose breasts have stood
a wallof resistless fire to stop the rolling
waves of treason. Let not the peoples grati-
tude find its only expression in words. These
men as they returdneed work-«employment.

. Their life in the field has greatly interrupted

their opportunities and facilities for falling
into remunerative occupation. Let every
good citizen who would show his, sense of
obligatiou,'do what he can to ensure these
bronzed veterans permanent and profitable

‘employment. Farvbetter this than noisy. re-

ceptious or festival recognitions, all Well and
proper in their way.

The Conspiracy trial drags its weary length
along. The court and witnesses and hear-
ers awelter andsweat through long tedious
details of testimony, while ethe public
seem impatient for “such time as the hang-
ing shall come on.” Perhaps one Of the
most interesting bits of accidental testimo-
ny was that exposing Ben. Wood, a member
of Congress and Editor of the rebel new in
'his disbursing connections with the infernal
horde of Canada Robbers, Peisoners, and
burners of innocent women and children.

The question of State Reconstruction, now
the subject Of frequent Cabinet discussions
and of most profound popular anxieties-
engrosses and eclipses all other political
questions and issues. The lurid clouds of

war have indeed passed from our national

horizon, but many grave questions thicken
upon our political future and give serious
and well grounded apprehension to the wi-
sest and best of 0m public men. But God
has been with us in the past and We can safe-
ly trust Him in the future. The nation
must avow Justice and Liberty and vindicate
the sublime utterances of our immortal dec-
laration if we would steer clear of rocks and
quicksands while sailing the ship of state
through the untried seas of the future. B.

The Festivals.
The Festivals held last week, were all very

 

” successful. The 2d M. E. Society held theirs

on Monday and Tuesday evenings at Nor-
walk Hall, which was crowded‘on each eve-
ning. The exercises by the children, inter-
spersed With singing by ladies and gentlemen,
were very interesting, and gave mm pleas-'
are to the audiences. The Strawberries and
cream and other Refreshments went off “like
hot cakes," and the pecuniary success must
have been very gratifying.

The Congregational Society of South Nor-
walk held their Festival at Ely’s Hall, on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We re—
gret that circumstances prevented our being
present. . _

The Festival and Promenade Concert by
the Norwalk Guards, on Wednesday eve-
ning. at Lockwood‘s Hall, was one of the
finest entertainments ever given in Norwalk.
The beautiful Hall was decorated with flow-
ers, fiags,‘military emblems, &c., the tables
were covered with boquets' and choice re-
freshments, and the music by Mouck’s Band,
all that could be desired: The Guards were
honored by the presence of the Burnside
Guards of South Norwalk, which company
marched up with martial music. The attend-
ance during the evening was very large, and
all seemed delighted with the entertainment -
The expenses were quite large, nevertheless
the “material aid” realized Will 'be very
pleasing to the company.

We are requested by the Committee to
return thanks to the ladies who donated
flowers and refreshments, and especially to
those Who so kindly gave their personal as-
sistance and attention at the Hall. ,

[8‘ The Festival Of the Burnside Guards
came off at Ely’s Hall, South Norwalk, on
Thursday and Friday evenings. The Hall
was decorated with fiagsand flowers, and re-
freshments were inabuudance. The Ponsell
Brothers, of Westport, furnished Brass and
String music. On Friday evening, the Nor-
walk Guards marched down, headed by their
drum corps. An emerald ring, valued at
$75, set with eight small diamOuds, was dis-
posed of by chances; the ring was, drawn by
Mr. E. Grumman, and a large and beautiful
cake by Mr. G. E. Miller. The attendance
was very large, and the sales lively. The

boys must have realized a very handsome
sum for their treasui'y.

WONDERFUL CONVER_SION.-—" All is not

who show the- colors. We hear that that
double-dyed traitor, Nathan S. Morse, of the
Augusta Coiwtstuthnalist and Bridgeport Far-
mer, who was obliged to“ flee for his life"
from Bridgeport, and sneaked through our
lines to join his fellow traitors, and who,
when he found the game was up, turned on
his comrades and came out for Peace and.
Union, is now trying to "safi his bacon”

and prove himself aUnion man. For this

purpose, it is said, he is now having made for
him in New York, one oflthe largest flags
(the hated stars and stripes) ever made in
this country. The flag is over fifty feet long,
and made Of tbe'best bunting. Surely, so
“ long as the lamp of life holds out to burn,
the vilest sinner may return,” '

THE UNITED STATEs SANITARY COMMISSION.
Will close their labors within the next six or
eight months.

Tris: SANITARI FAIR AT CHICAGO,
Continues to attract large crowds, but the
receipts are not so large as its managers ex-
pected would be the case. Still it is believ-
ed that upwards of $500,000 will be realized
-a sum deemed sufficient to establish a
magnificent “ Soldiers Home” in the suburbs
of the city.

Onto PoLiTics.
1 The Union men of Ohio will hold their
annual State convention on the 21st inst,
to nominate candidates for State officers, and
to lay down a platform of principles. The
election will transpire on the second Tues-
day of October. It is almost certain that
Governor Brough will be re-nominated, and
that resolutions favoring the extension ~‘of
the right of suffrage to the Freedmeu of the"
South w , unanimously adopted.
Govern Brough was elected in 1863 by

the follow'mg vote : '

Brough,_ - - - 288,661
Vallandigham, . - 187,562
Majority, 101,099

Lincoln and Johnson carried the State
last November as followa:

Lincoln and Johnson, - - 264,975
McClellan aud‘Pendleton, - 205,557
Majority, 59,418

The Governor’s friends count upon his
reelection by 30,000 majority.

JOHN Mmcmn’s AmsT
and incarnation in Fortress Monroe, created
some surprise here among the unfriendly to
the Governmen—but‘ the loyal men of the
metropolis were well aware that President
Johnson would not permit him to continue
his advocacy of treason.’ It is probable that
Mr. Mitchell will betried before the United
States Court at Norfolk, now presided over
by Judge Underwood. The Judge will With-
in the present yearresign judicial honors, for
the purpose of entering iupon his' duties as
United States Senator. ,
_ TnE-SUafi-Tnnasonv. .
Another candidate for the position of Sub-
Treasurer in this city-has made his appear-
anCe in the person of Hon. H. H. Van Dyck,
~of Albany. Hon." Richard M. Blatchford
will, however, it is believed, be accorded the
ofice, inasmuch as he has the support of Sec-
reta'ry Seward.

TEE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONTROvERsx

‘ is still raging, and-the coustitutioualityof the

new law is now undergoing argument before
the Court of Appeals. What the judgment
of the court will be is yet a matter of uncer-
tainty. '

Jam DAVIs COUNSEL.

It is reported, and believed that Mr. Chas.
O’Conor, one. of the ablest members of the
New York Bar, has volunteered to defend
Jefferson Davis in his trial on the charge of
treason. It is now considered probable that
Davis will notbe'brought to trial ere Sep-
tember next.

LIEUT.‘-GEN. SCO'I'I', .
on the 13 inst, completed his Seventy-ninth
year. On the evening of that day the gal—
lant General had an agreeable reception at
Cozzeu’s West Point Hotel, were he is now
stopping.
TIIE SUFFRAGE QUEsTION IN ENGLAND.

The Liberal party of England have deter-
mined to again raise the subject of Parlia-
mentary Reform, and to insist upon the ex-
tension of ballot to the middle classes. The
Right. Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, the leader of
the Tory party, is preparing to oppose the
discussion of the question eithei" in the
House of Commons or in the hustings,
while his noble antagonist, John Bright, of
Manchester, is determined to force it upon
its opponents, Mr. Bright finds a powerful
ally in the Chancellor of Exchequer, Wil-
liam Ewart Gladstone.

PmasANT WEATHER

the country continues unabated. Connecti—
cut is the State most sought for by those
whose means permit a summer residence
RIDGEFIELD.

I had the pleasure of spending last Sun-
day evening in the pleasant town of Ridge-
field in your County. The place is noted
for Revolutionary relics,as well as for the
thrift and hospitality of its inhabitants.
Located near the bfindary line of New
York, and within .a short distance of Massa-
chusetts, also commanding a delightful view
of Long Island—the streets shaded with
trees of many years growth—it is well worth
a visit from those desirous of seeing a repre~
seutative town of rural Connecticut. It is a
noteworthy fact that at the recent State elec-
tion, Ridgefield gave 108 majority for Gov-
ernor Buckingham. LEXINGTON.

' Who Mane says that the Vulcanized
Rubber Patent, knowu as thepGoodyear, ex-
pired last week At the last session of Con-
gross the most strenuous efforts were made
to obtain a special act for a renewal of the
patent, but mainly through the Opposition of
Mr. Day and the railroad companies, the ap-
plication failed, never, we trust, to be renew-
ed. It is estimated that over forty millions
have been paid in profits by the people of
this country alone on this patent, and that
hue-fourth of this large sum was received by
Charles Goodyear and his legal representa-
tives in the course of business and in tariffs.
The valuable patent of Nelson Giodyear on
Hard Rubber, which has been extended re-
cently by the Commissioner of Patents, still
.remains, we believe, in the Goodyear family,
as the tariffs are paid to the heirs of Charles.

Decidedly the best, most durable rind
cheapest known in this country. Materials
which are liable to be confounded with
this have long been in use for covering
factories and barns, &c., but never until
this recent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best real-

are such as to render it perfectly water-

bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterons
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-

person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters

several parties refilling our bottles, the. who wll
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from la-
