In our last article we attempted to show that, by the American lliemy of Government, the exercise of the suffrage must be regard. ed rather as a right belonging to the individu- al, than a franchise‘conferred upon him.— The latter term belongs to European society, and is based upon the idea that the people are the vassals of the crown, and that what- ever civil capacities they possess are an en- franchisement from such vassalage by gra- cious act Of the sovereign. But here, too people comprising the only sovereignty and exercising that sovereignty through the bal- lot-box, it is manifest that a part of the peo- ple cannot arrogate to themselves the exclu. sive power of such exercise, without usur- pation of the rights of the remainder. We further showed from American history, the danger of‘ setting at defiance the law of right conduct in National affairs, and urged the extension of the suffrage to all classes of men because to refuse to do so would be op- pressive and morally wrong. We are aware that there is a class of citi- zens who will deny our premises and insist that the exercise of the suffrage is not to be regarded as an individual right, but as a privilege conferred by the aggregate sover- eignty. Such men must, of course, logically deny the truth of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and the Connecticut Bill of Rights, or in the present controversy deny the manhood of the negro. We do not pro- pose however tO re-argue these questions, but meeting the class of persons of whom we speak, upon their own ground, we insist upon the imperative necessity of Universal Suffrage for the salvation of the Republic. Descending from the vantage-ground of moral right, we are willing to decide the question upon the plain considerations of political expediency, which the topic sug- gests. In our former articles we have shown that the development Of the American idea of government has tended irresistibly to- ward the equality and universality of politi- cal capacities. Alike in Connecticut and Virginia the connection of church and state once prevailed. The limitation of the right of inheritance to the eldest son was univer- sal out of New England. The restriction of the exercise of suffrage to property hold- ers—was still more extensive. The First Con- gress gravely debated'a proposition to con- fer a title upon the President, and the Sen- ate Committee reported in favor of the fol- lowing, viz : “ His Highness, the President of the United States of America, and Protector of their Liberties." All these things have pass- ed away, and, doubtless, there are men who regret the fact. But it cannot be helped. We shall never go back to any one of them, unless through the paths of revolution.— Our progress is forward in one gener- :al direction. Every white man practically ,claims, as his right, absolute liberty of con- science in religious matters, an equal share in his father’s estate, a capacity to vote at the legal age, and freedom to call the President plain Mr. Johnson. Men may desire to alter this condition of things, in any or all these particulars, but reflecting men know that such alteration has become impossible. But while all white men practically assert these rights for themselves, it is proposed to deny the most important of all of them, because that by which all the rest are secured, to one sixth of the nation, American born and bred, and, by recent events, constituted an integ- ral portion of: the people of the United States. None but fools now talk of export- ing this mass of laborers to other lands, and _ judging-by the past, the five millions of today, i will, in twenty—five years increase to ten Emillions. As a portion of the American peo- ‘ple they are to possess the following among other Constitutional rights, viz : freedom of 'speech, of writing, of printing ; the right gpeaceably to assemble, and petition for re- .dress of grievances; the right to keep and bear arms; and to be secure in their houses, persons, and effects against unreasonable ar- ' rests, searches and seizures. It cannot be ex- pected that they will remain ignorant of these rights. The writer of these articles has seen much of the emancipated negroes during the last four years, and we do not hesitate to say that no uneducated people on Iéearth are so eager for education, and so wil- i lingto undertake the labor of acquiring it. : The nntaught European peasant,transplanted ; to our shores, as a general rule, makes no ei- fort to acquire the rudiments of knowledge. The first and persistent request of the emani cipated negro is for a spelling—book. Now we confidently put the question to any reflecting man, which is safer for the Repub- lic, to give this increasing mass of our labor- ing population the same political capacities which we, in all our federal and state cliar- ters, claim for ourselves, on the sole ground of our manhood, and thereby make the Re; public to them, as it is to us, an object of abiding affection, as the conservator of rights and the guarantee of liberties, or, on the other hand, by arbitrarily refusing to them, by an ineradicablc distinction of race, all such capabilities, hold up to them the State, as an imperious master whose law for them is the Pagan law of force, and whose d cnial to them, of what it, at the same time, asserts to be the inalienable rights of humanity, must necessarily choke up, in theirhearts, the very fountains of patriotic affection ? DO we wish to have ten millions of our countrymen, a quarter of a century hence, regard our government with same feeling with which the Irish peasant now wgards England ? We will not elaborate‘upon this portion of our argument. The suggestions which we have just made, ought to dispel the too prevalent idea that the advocates of univer- sal suffrage are controlled only or mainly by an anxiety for the Welfare of the colored race. It is not merely because the destinies of that race are involved in the issue, but be» cause it affects the stability Of- our newly-- restored peace, the permanence Of free in»- stitutions, and the lasting continuance of the: Republic. For there is no lesson taught by History with more clearness than this, viz : that the legalized degradation of a part of a. people tends irresistibly to the demoraliza- tion of the remainder, and results either in the general subversion of popular freedom, or . violent conflict for its preservation. just at the end of such a conflict. The seeds generates.“ broad-cast over one half the Republic. Shall; we leave them to germinate and spring up- children, or eradicate them by the simple sit-- the civil capacities which are now enjoyed only by a part ? ...'.... ,_.___ STEAMBOAT Excunsrom—Thc J ohu Rom .er ; makes a 4th of J iily excursion to New Yettk, to day, leaving South Norwalk on the ai'ri- val of the Danbury train, and New York on hcr return at 3.30 p. in., making no. stops and reaching South N orwalk in time to don- nect with the Danbury train.

We are , pedient of extending to all American citizens: ; ”hr-— "Eif_ “g. ._.. ‘ _ _ E and Weston. Of a Similar convulsron are already sown ‘ The New Militia Law: We congratulate the people of the State upon the passage of the new Militia Bill, which has now becomes. Law. For years past the Legislature has temporized with militia matters, and put Off from session to session what ought to have been done years ago. The law is not yet what it should be, but is a great improvement on the old act. We give in brief the provisions of the new act, which is in alteration of the old. The first section provides that the active militia shall be hereafter designated “The CONNEC-' g TICUT NATIONAL GUARD.” Section 2, pro- vides that every non-commissioned officer, musician and private shall be provided with a uniform at the expense of the State. This is simply a just provision, and, we believe, really economical. The uniform is to consist of a blue jacket, (instead of the long skirted coat) light blue pants, and fa- tigue cap, and not to cost more than $18 each. ‘ The term Of service is to be five years. The old law gave each man $5.00 per year for repair of uniform for a term of seven years, actually making the uniform cost the State $35.00. See. 3, requires that all persons furnished with uniforms shall be able-bodied and Of good moral character. Sec. 4, provides that every uniform furnish- ed shall remain in the Armory and continue the property Of the State, until the person for whom it is furnished shall have served the full term of enlistment, when it shall be- come his property—and then much good may it do him. See. 5, is for the punish- ment of all wantonly injuring, selling, or secreting uniforms while property of the State. By Sec 7, the Commander-in-chief, Q, M. General, and Division Inspector, con- stitute a Board to determine style and quali- ty of uniforms, cost not to exceed $18. SEC. 9, gives the Commander in-Chief pow- er to disband inefficient Companies to such extent as he may deem beneficial to the ser- vice. Sec. 10 provides that an Examining Board, appointed by Commander-in-Chief shall , convene at each annual encampment and examine in military tactics all commis- sioned ofiicers below the rank of Major Gen- eral. Officers not present at such eneamp. ment, and officers whose examinations there- at were not satisfactory, shall apppear for examination before said boardwithin six months thereafter, when the Commander-in- Cbief shall revoke the commissions of all officers who have not presented themselves at one of said sessions and shown sufficient knowledge of tactics for the performance Of their duties. No officer who has passed one examination to be re-examined previous to promotion, and the provisions of this section not to apply to' those General Staff Ofi‘lcers whose duties do not require a knowledge of such tactics. Sec. 11, provides that no per— son' shall be appointed a corporal or a ser- geant except on certificate of his company commandant, that he has passed a satisfac- tory examination, which shall be for corpo. rals in the school of the soldier, and for ser- geants in the school of the Soldier, and the school of the company ; commandants of regiments to issue orders for a like exami- nation 01 all such non-commissioned Officers heretofore appointed, and to revoke the warrants of those who fail in such examina— tion. Enlistments shall be for a term of five years, and all persons faithfully serving such full term, shall be entitled to an honOrable discharge, and shall thereafter be exempt from the payment of military commutation taxes, and from military duty except in case of war, or insurrection, and for three years therafter from the payment of poll taxes. Sec. 14, does away with the farce of the “ Officer’s Drill,” and annual encamp— ments are to be held six successive days. In lieu of the allowance now made by law for the hire of artillery horses, the Quarter Master General is to provide suitable horses for two days artillery drill, each year, du- ring the fall encampment. Sec. 16 makes it the duty of Company commanders, upon approval of commanding officer of regiment, to bring actions for debt in his own name, for recovery of fines or forfeitures, and in case the action fails the expense to be borne by State instead Of Offi- cer as at present. The act takes effect from its passage. We believe the credit of the new law is due chiefly to the militia ofiicers of this town, by whom it was originated, and who have worked hard to secure its passage. «0»...— WWe have been shown two Books— One a large Ledger, the other a small blank Book,—which contain copies of ofiicial let- tiers and telegrams written and received by the rebel Major Gen. John C. Breckenridge, during the late war. They were found in his Headquarters and were secured and sent home by Capt. M. A. Hill. It seems to us 'that these documents are very valuable, and should be placed in the archives of the War Department. . «<0» MORE DIVIDENDS.—The directors of the Fairfield County National Bank have de- clared a semi-annual dividend of five per ceiit., free Of tax, payable on demand. 63‘ At the annual meeting of the Nor- walk Ins. Co. last Friday,a Semi annual div- idend of 5 per cent. was declared. As a lo- cal ‘institution, reflecting credit on the town, we are glad to hear of its continual prosperi- ty. The officers under whose skillful man- agement it has obtained its success, were re- elected; viz. WM. 0. STREET, Pres’t, EBEN HILL, Treas’r; GEO. R. COWLES, Sec’y ; and‘ with an increased surplus the Compa . ny enters on its 6th year with very satisfac- tory prospects for itself and for those who hold its Policies. .«O». Internal Revenue. The Revenue returns for the year 1864(now just completed) on Carriages, Watches, Pianos, Incomes and Licenses, show very generally we believe,a handsome increase over that of 1863. This is supposed to be owing to the more stringent forms us ed for returns and the direct questions whi ii the law,as amended,obliges the Assi: ant Asses- sors to ask, and which it is almost impossi- bio for any one to misunderstand or evade. Mr. Camp Ass’t Assessor for this district . has had his hands full the last three months in getting in and arranging the returns, &c., of the District, made much larger than ,here-' tofore, by the amendment to the law. _ His district is the 2d Division of‘ the 4th District of Conn. and comprises the towns of Norwalk, Westport, New Canaan, Wilton The Tax for 1863 (returned May lst 1864) was $39,654.61 and the Spec- ial Income Tax afterward laid $45,933.50. . . The total amount of the Tax for 1864, now mica harvest of blood to bc reaped by our- , in, foots up $130,496.21 which will probably be increased by amounts not yet in, to 135, 000. This shows the handsome increase of 2 over 95,000 for the year. Of this Tax of $135,000, one man—Morris Ketchnm, Esq., of Westport—alone pays over $73,000 as his tax on an income of over $733,000—a snfig little sum’ for one year. In this town we have two citizen's whose in- comes for the year amounted to over $30,- 000, viz: Dudley P. Ely and E. C. Diesel], Esqrs. -<.>- WPresident Johnson has appointed Benjamin F. Perry, Provisional Governor of South Carolina. 3mg: .., ., Rainer brought out seven hundred passen- gers from New York, Saturday afternoon last, and a large list of freight.

Mrs. Farrington has closed her Millinery for the Summer. _, Will re-open in September. Have the people of Norwalk entirely for- gotten their ancestors? The old burying ground on' Town House Hill certainly gives reason for the belief that they have. It is all overrun with bushes, trees, &c., and has the appearance of neglect and decay in no wise creditable to the town. There is a very dangerous spot on the steamboat wharf at South Norwalk. and if a railing or guard is not placed there, some one will walk off and get hurt. A word to the wise, ,&c. 7 _ Rev.

NEW YORK, July 1, 1865. THE ESTATE OF THE LATE PRESIDENT LIN- , COLN, has been erroneously reported to exeged $75,000 in value. Mr. Lincoln, when first elected to the Presidency, owned a house in Springfield, Ill., and one hundred and sixty acres of land in Iowa, which he received from Government for service in the Black Hawk War. From his salary as President he realized about $30,000 over and above his expenses. The sum of $50,000 covers the value of the estate left his family. WHAT NEW YORK CITY HAS DONE FOR THE ' WAR.

The Fourth Of July 1776, witnessed the birth of a nation founded upon the theory of equal ri his. The ourth of July 1855, will witness a uni; on preserved from the powers of an aris- tocracy of wealth, and Of class, combined for its disintegration. Through the courage, endurance, and un- daunted bravery of avolunteer soldiery, de- mocracy has triumphed over assumed supe- riority, freedom over slavery, and liberty over despotism.

O'er this vast domain, Roll the exultant strain ; In triumphant song, Send the notes along, From the East, to the West—from the lakes to the sea, Let us shout to the world, that our land is free. In the purple flood, 0f the heart’s rich blood, We have ended the strife, For the nation’s life. Now the about of our hosts, like the roar Of the sea, ‘ Shall thunder it forth, that this land is FREE. With united voice, Let us all rejoice, And devoutly raise, Our glad hymns of praise, For the Stars and the Stripes, our bright sym- bol shall be, And wherever they float, is the home of the free.
