UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
IV.
Having proved in our second Article that
the rule of right conduct requiresa further
extension of the suffrage, We proceeded, last
week, to show that true political expediency
points to the same result. In so doing we
extended our view beyond the limits of our
owu State, in which this question is first.
practically to be decided, and it may seem
to a casual reader, that we have wandered
from the argument suggested in our prelimi-
nary remarks. In fact, however, we have
not done so. The number of the colored
population in Connecticut is so small, that
men “are apt to think that the vote upon the
Constitutional Amendment here is of but
trifling importanCe, and there is danger that,
under the influence of this feeling, many
will not vote at all. We have therefore di-
rected attention to the magnitude of the in-
terests involved in the issue in the country
at large, and to the serious peril which threat-
ens the Republic, unless the subject he now
finally disposed of by a righteous decision.
We doubtless differ from some of the ablest
advocates of Universal Suffrage in our choice
of the mode in whichto accomplish the com-
mon end. We believe that it is safest and
best, ;fpr all parties, to leave the people of each
State to prescribe for themselves the qualifi-
cations of electors. It is the constitutional
mode, and we prefer to walk in the old paths,
except when they manifestly lead to evil.
The affectionate attachment of a nation
to its political traditions should never be
needlessly disturbed, and we desire that the
memory of our children should turn back as
fondly as ours has done, to the associations
whichliuk our organic law with the names
of Washington, Franklin, and Madison, as
among its framers, and with those of Jack-
son, Webster and Clay, as its defenders. We
must not suffer the golden chain which binds
the Present to the Past,aud which is to con-
nect both with the Future, to be even seem-
ingly sundered by the events of the Rebel-
lion. We are not to have a new Republic,
but the old one, cleansed from whatever pol-
lutions had adhered to it, and strengthened
by the purification.
We are confident that the generation now
coming upon the stage of political life will
.. see suffrage made universal in every State
in the'Union. We think that this will be
more harmoniously accomplished by local
action than by federal. We wish to expedite
the result, and the decision which Connecti-
ut shall arrive at, this year, will, we. think,
exert an influence, in other States, far trans-
cending in importance the immediate conse-
quences within her own borders. Provi-
dence has placed her in the fore front in this
Conflict. If she falters, while she will not
prevent the ultimate victory, she will, never-
theless make the contest more protracted and
severe. If, acknowledging the force of
events, and adopting the logic of the Declara-
tion of Independence and our own Bill of
Rights, we here, shall place sufi'rage upon
the simple basis of manhood, we shall
strengthen the hands of the friends of self-
government throughout the Republic. If by
neglect, or indifference, we fail to do this,
we put an argument into the mouths of the
advocates of oppression, which we shall find
it hard to answer. “If you, in New Eng-
land," they will say, “are determined to con
tinue to govern your colored population
without its consent, limited as it is in num-
bers, and measurably educated in your com-
mon schools, how can you expect us to take
a different course with ours, under so much
less'fa‘vorable circumtances ‘2" The influence. ‘
then, which our example will exert in other
States, is an additional reason for the exten-
-'sion of the suffrage in this Commonwealth.
In reply to all that we have hitherto urged,
it is often said, “this is a Republic of white
men. The broad language used in our char-
ters of government is always to be under-
stood as applicable only to white men. It
was never meant for negroes. If you extend
it to them, by parity of reasoning, you must
also extend to them allthose social courtesies
which exist among the members of the now
dominant race; you must invite them to
your table; your sons and daughters must
associate with their sons and daughters. If
a negro asks your kinswoman in marriage,
you must give her to him; if your son de-
sires the hand of a negress, you must con-
sent.” It is difficult for an intelligent man
to believe that any one can be sincere in a
fallacy so transparent. The statement re-
garding the scope of our charters of govern-
ment is historically untrue. Originally, the
emancipated slave became a voter, in the
majority of the old states, by the. mere act
f 8W; .As slavery grew to be the
l:redominant'ir'llliie‘nce in the land, the right
was gradually withdraWn {rpm him, until
now it only rennin? in five of the New Eng-
land States and in New York. He was a
voter-in Connecticut, on the same basis as
the white‘man, till 1818. Yet the distinction
between political rights and social preferen-
ces was as Well understood before that fear,
as now. The colored man, in our system of
g0vernment,has a right to the suffrage, be-
cause that system affirms that all civil au-
thority is derived from the Consent of the
governed. Butassociation and marital con-
nections are matters of taste and choice.—
The right to “ the pursuit of happiness,"
asserted in the Declaration of Independ-
ence, secures to every individual perfect
liberty of choice in these relations, and
this is at liberty, which is incapable of rcstric_
. :On by human laws. The moment we
.vply such language as we have quoted
above to any others than negroes, We per-
ceive its fallacy. Every one will admit that
there are thousands of white men, whom he
would not choose as companions ; to whom
he would be sorry to give a daughter in
marriage ; yet every one will see that this
fact is no reason for excluding such persons
from the exercise of political rights, Social
tastes are no criterion for these rights ; if
they were, nobody could vote, for, we pre-
sume there is no man whom some other man
would not decline to associate with, or
whom some lady would not refuse to accept
as a husband. »
There is no mystery, no difliculty in deci»
ding how to do with the negro in these matr
ters, if we'are only disposed to do right.—
Strikeout the word “white” from the Consti-
tution, and no legislation is needful. For all
the rest let the negro clone. Let him alone to
vote as he pleases. Let him alone to seek
and find his appropriate place in society.
Let him alone to labor and to improve. If
he violates law visit him with the penalties
of the law. Treat him justas you do any
one else coming into your community, a”. e.’
according to his qualities and character. In
this way and in this way only will you set-
110 the “negro question” forever.

The Fourth of July.
The night of the 30, was remarkably quicl.
for such a time, until about 12 o’clock when
a‘procession of “the boys"formcd and march-
ed through the principal streets, headed by
the “old boy” himself—all in disguise—with
“drums andirumpets,” and every other con-
ceivable thing to make a noise, includinglhc
inevitable tin pan and fish horn. It certain-
ly was not their fault ifthcy failed to wake
up all the sleepers, and have a jolly time
generally.
The Fourth was universally observed as a
Holiday. but there was no public observance
of the day in this immediate vicinity, other
than the firing of salutes and the ringing of
bells morning, noon and night. During the
day large numbers of people went off down
the harbor on Pic-nic excursions, and where.
ever there was sufficient shade on island or
mainland, there was sure to be a party of
pleasure seekers. _
At South Norwalk. a meeting was held in
the morning, at Ely’s-Hall, and an address
was delivered by Mr. D. L. Millard.
During the evening, Fireworks in consid-
erable quantities,"were displayed from pri-
vate residences all over town. The town
was very quiet, and we hear of no accidents.

Hanging of the 'Consplrators.
80 little has been said about the assassins
lately, that the publication of the sentences
of the conspirators, on Thursday last, was
received with general surprise. We publish
elssewhere the finding of the military com-
mission by which they were tried. Efforts
were of course made to delay proceedings by
the friends of the condemned, but without
success, and on Friday Mrs. Surrat, Payne,
Harrold and atzerott, expiated their crime on
the‘gallows. Dr. Mudd, McLaughlin, Ar-
nold and Spangler are to be confined in the
Albany penitentiary.

Fair-field County National
Bank. ‘
Some weeks since we noticed an article
in one of our exchanges, stating that the
Fairfield County Bank had declared during
the previous year 15 per cent. in dividends.
We learn that the amount stated was to small
by 8 per cent. The dividends actually do-
clared were as follows .- July 1st 1864, regu-‘
dividend 4 percent,,and an extra dividend of
4 per cent; Jan. 1st, 1865, regular dividend
of 5 per cent. and on the lat of March an ex.
tra dividend of 10 per cent. making 23 per
cent. for the current year ending June 30th.
This we believe is the largest per cent. of div.
idend declared in the State for the same
time. ‘

“ The Secret Service,

is the title of the new work just issued by
the American Publishing Companypf Hurt-
ford, from the pen of Mr. Albert D Rich-
ardson, one of the Tribune Correspondents
captured while attempting to run the rebel
batteries at Vicksburg. and confined in rebel
prisons twenty months, the rebels refusing to
exchange them simply because they were
Tribune correspondents, while they dill re-
lease the correspondents of the World :ird
Herald captured at the same time. General
Butler finally arranged for the exchange of
Richardson for Pollard, :1 Richmond editor
and Historian, and sent the falter through
ouriiucs to cffvctihc exchange, but he ar-
rived just after Mr. Richardson made his
escape from Salisbury, and being a genllcv
than of the chivalry persuasion broke his
word of honor and forgot to return. In this
Book, Mr. Richardson gives his experience
as a secret correspondent in the South In the
exciting times just previous to the breaking
out of hostilities; his subsequent life with
the army of the Potomac, in West Virginia,
and the Western Armies, including accounts
of the battle of Antietam, capture of Done-1.-
son, Island No. 10, Columbus, Wilson’s
Creek, down the Mississippi; his capture,
confinement, and wonderful escape; with

Fourth of July in Darlen.
The “Boys” of Darien were determined
that the bells should be rung on the return
of our National Anniversary ; some of us
having participated .in the conflict With reb-
els and traitors, and shed our blood freely in
our common defence. Hence, just as the
clock struck 12, St. Luke’s Church bell sent
forth a merry pool which gladdened the
hearts of all loyal people, which was vigor-
ously responded to by the patriotic little hell
on Noroton School House. The loyalty of
the latter one could not be questioned. Just
at this time, a gentleman in authority, order-'
ed us to stop that bell, and to leave the
premises. We told him it had not been rung
as it ought to have been done for our Union
victories, also that he had refused to let it be
rung at the surrender of Lee ! Now we had
possession and intended to have the hell do
its duty. However, after a little parley, we
agreed to evacuate, after having quietly pass-
ed the rope through a 82276 wmdow. After the
gentleman had withdrawn we resumed the
object of our visit and continued until un-
fortunately the rope parted by continued
contact with the window-sill, and we were
reluctantly compelled to surrender her back
to old associations. We closed our celebra-
tion by serrenading our Union friends, by
whom we were joyfully received with a
cheering word in behalf of Union and Free-
dom, forever. ,

STAMFORD—The town was full of people
on the Fourth. Salutes were fired and bells
rung merrily in the morning. At 9 o’clock
a procession was formed as follows :—Stam-
ford Brass Band; Borough officers; Schol-
ars of Betts’s Military School, in cadet uni.
form; Returned volunteers; Orator; Read-
er, Clergy in carriages; Soldier’s Orphan
children from Fitch’s Home, Darien, 23 boys
and 6 girls, handsomely equipped in patriot-
ic regalia, each with a flag, with a banner
bearing the inscription “My Father‘died for
his country”; Fire Department; citizens on
foot and on horseback. The procession
passed through the principal streets to West
Park, where a stand had been erected, and
seats arranged under the trees. Hon. Chas.
Hawley was called to the chair, and made a
few brief, patriotic remarks. Prayer was of-
fered by Rev. Mr. Thurston, and after music
by the Band, the Declaration of Independ-
ence was read by Hon. Wm. T. Minor. Rev.
Bishop Simpson was then introduced, and
for an hour andla half held the people en-
chained by his eloquence. The benediction
was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Mitchell. .Du-
ring the day, a most laughable parade of
Fantastics was made, some 75 persons taking
part therin. They also had an orator, from
“down east,”but by accident his mask came
off while speaking and revealed Stamford’s
well-known citizen, Judge W. H. Holly. In
the evening there was a large and fine dis-
play of Fireworks—The Asst. Assessor

of the “smilers” who was bobbing round on
the 4th, hauled up under the folds of an
American flag that was floating proudly in
honor of the day, and stood admiring its
stars and stripes with the zeal of a devoted
patriot. He liked the flag, he did—he was
proud of the flag, he was—and he’d stand
by the flag, he would. The crowd about the
individual heard him quietly for awhile,
when a voice exclaimed ‘You're one of them,
you're a Copperhead.” The excited patriot
gave :1 ice lurch, hauled up again, fixed his
eyes knowingly on the flag and hiccoughed,
“Can’t a fellow repent ?_” There is hope for

Duncan—There was a very large crowd
of people in town to witness the 401 of July
celebration. The day opened with the cus-
tomary gun firing and bell ringing. An ev-
ergreen Triumphal Arch was erected across
Main Street, near the First Congregational
Church, in honor of the Army and Navy,
andcontaihed the names of the more promi-
nent of our brave commanders, and as lo-
calized by inscribing theoeon the names Of
Stone, Moegling, Moore and Starr. About
eleven o’cleck, the procession, under the mar~
shaiship of Lieut. Col.White, commenced to
move in the following order: Band; Field
Music; Marshal and Aide; Catholic Library
Association; Soldiers of the Mexicmi War;
Soldierscf the War of 1812; Car of Liber-
ty; Car with 36 young ladies representing
the States of the Union; Orator and Chap-
lin,‘aud Citizens in carriages. A platform
was erected in the rear of Concert Hall, and
an Oration was delivered by Hon. E. K. Fos-
ter, of New Haven; Prayer by Rev. Dr,
Hawley. The Declaration was read by Mr.
Lewis K. Osborn. Music by the Bethel Glee
Club and the Danbury Band. At noon
about sixty soldiers and sailors were treated
to a bountiful repast. In the afternoon the
Fantasticals appeared, and made some good
bits. Jeff Davis was of course remembered.
A shower came up just at night, and soaked
tne Fireworks so they would not “go off.”

MESSRS. EDITORS. —I observed by last
week’s Gazette, that “an effort is being made
to organize a Band in this village,” which I
suppose must account for those soul stirring
sounds that greet us day and night, at every
turn within the “fire limits” of our Borough.
Now, Messrs. Editors, as] happen to be one
of that unfortunate class, born without “an
ear for music,” I am of course deprived of
that exquisite pleasure in listening to the va-
rious grades of musical sounds that delight
our “car for. music" good people; and my
object in writing is to enquire if there be
any way pointed out by the “masters of art,”
whereby that class of unmusical beings like
myself can be taught to appreciate and enjoy
the “effort that is now being made in our
midst to organize a band.” *

Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, the only
white volunteer regiment in the District,
were ordered to be sent North for the purpose
of being mustered out. Owing to its biting
scattered in various parts of the State, it was
impossible to collect the differcnl detach-

time the assumption of the command by
Gen. Newton places it out of the power of
Gen. Vodges to send them out of the Dis-

W Liberty is one of the dearest blessings which
our forefathers have handed down to us. It was
purchased by the blood ofmany a valiant revolution-
ary hero; has been guarded by a Washington a J ef-
fersonian, a Clay, and a Webster. But dearer still
to the hearts of the people is that world-renowned
remedy, known as er’s Cough Balsam. It cures
like magic the most violent attacks of croup, and is
indispensable in every family of children. Golds,
sudden coughs, sore throat, hoarseness, and inflamed
lungs, are instantly and surely cured by its timely
use. No cough mixture has ever been known that
equals it, which accounts for its great popularity
with all classes. The young and old—the rich and
poor—physicians, druggist—and all who have ever
tested it speak in the hishest terms of its merits.
We say to our readers—buy it and tryit. It costs
but 40 cents the bottle, contains twice as much med~
icine as you can obtain in any other way at the same
cost, and all our drug stores keep it. 1m16
