The Constitutional Amends
ment. .
The defeat of this righteous measure is
matter of deep regret to all reflecting per-
' sons. Yet it tenotas some seem to appre-
hend, cause for despondency.» 0n the con-
trary, in the vote cast mry be found cause
for rejoicing. Ten years ago the proposition
was submitted to the suffrage oi the people
of Connecticut, and received about 5,000
votes. Last Monday it received nearly
27,000 votes. ‘ A gain of 22,000 in ten-years
' upon a question of thiI character, invol-
ving so many prejudices, and appeal-
ing only to the simple love of the peo-
pie for humane rights, is in itself a glo-
rious triumph. Slavery has had two‘hun-
dred years in which to effect its blinding
Work upon our intellects, and its hardening
work upon our hearts. Can we expect that
all this is to be undone in one twentieth part
of the time employed to accomplish it ?
Believers in the Declaration of Independ-
ence, Lovers of impartial right, and faithful
Friends of self-government as the only solu-
tion of the problem of society, he not die
couraged. You are stronger to-day than all
your opponents, for truth, and justice, and
God are on your side, and will ultimately
prevail. Be firm in the position which you
have taken. If political parties will frankly
accept your principles, and boldly labor for
their practical triumph, work with them, in
all sincerity and cordislity. If they betray
or abandon you in the dark time which may
be coming in the immediate future, go on, in
your own strength, till the brighter day shall
arrive, when oppression, in any of its mani-
fold forms, shall cease to be legalized in the
Republic.

The Ridgeiield Fair.
The annual fair of the Ridgefield Agricul-
tural Society came ofi last week. The
Weather throughout was cold and disagreea-
» his, but no rain tell. The attendance of peo-
ple was fully as large, if not larger, than last
year, and “the total receipts larger than ever
before. The management of the Fair this
season, was very liberal, a large list of pre-
miums being offered, and everything done to
add to the interest and success that a reason-
able outlay of money could secure. The
grounds are beautifully located, and we were
' glad to see the excellent tract substantially
railed on each side, thus giving a fair chance
for trotting, and preventing accidents. The
exhibition in the Tentwas very creditable to
the Town. The Ridgcfield Brass Band, as-
sisted by experienced performers from other
Bands, furnished good music and added great-
ly to the attraction of the Fair. Mr. Potter
was present with his melodeons, and D‘Ar-
c is supplied a good demand for Ice Cream.
Friday was devoted to Trotting, some $200
extra premiums being offered by the Society.
We give elsewhere a full list of Premiums as
declared by the several committees.

WINNIPAUK.-—MeSSIS. Lounsbury, Bissell
& Co. are making quite extensive additions
to their Winnipauk Mills. Quite a village is
building up around the new Norwalk Mills,
new houses going up for accommodation of
workmen in the mills. Winnipauk is 1‘ go-
ing ahead”and we shall soon be obliged to ex-
tend the Horse Railway to that enterprising
Village. ‘
__A_..-.-.
THE Baum—We learn that the Band have
engaged the services of the late leader of the
17111 Reg. Band, as Director. and also one
other experienced perform er from the same
Band. The boys are progressing finely, but
now need assistance from the public in order
to mantain the enterprise. They are worthy
of helm—give it to them, and the Band will
become a credit to the town. They were out
serenading on Thursday night, and will
please accept thanks forthe compliment paid
us.

Coming to bid us “ Adoo.”
Mr. Artemns Ward,—beiug on the eve of
departure for England,—-is coming to town
on Tuesday evening for the purpose of bid-
ding his friends good bve. As he will not
have time to call upon and take all his ac-
quaintances by the hand,he has with his ac-
customed liberaiity. engaged Lockwood‘s
Hall for that evening and proposes giving it
“gay and festive" entertainment to the pub«
licin general, on which occasion he will in-
troduce several pictures “taken on the spot" '
illustrating “ Life among the Mormons.” In
order to pay the expenses of the Hall, a
small admission fee will be charged. Aged
and infirm persons wishing seats during the
interview can secure them in advance. See
advertisement and bills.

W Messrs. E. W. Smith & 00., Phoenix
Block, are out with a new advertisement to-
day. The “junior” has just been made a
“ happy man"(the Senior was one already)
and the firm will probably sell cheaper than
ever. We cheerfully commend them to the
liberal patronage of the public.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8th, ‘65
Voting “early” and taking the train for
Washington, it was at Baltimore that the
telegraph furnished the first inkling of the
result of last Monday's election- in Connec-
ticut. The press report had coupled with its
general statement, that Norwalk had given
125 majority against the Amendment; subsc-
qucnt information shows that the Union
town officers were elected by about 100 lua-
jority. The general result in the State
would seem to indicate that other towus
were no better and no worse than Norwalk.
That about the same relative result obtained
throughout the State. My own convictions
of duty and justice were absolute and I ve-
ted the “Yes” ticket,—other equally earnest
Union men have voted “No.” I have no
quarrel with such,-I do wish however, that
they could have'walked the corridor of Wil-
lard’s with me on Tuesday evening, and
heard the boisterous rejoicings of Copper-
heads and still defiant rebels, over the result
in Connecticut. Again. I wish those who
voted "No” could go with the the rounds of
the few remaining Hospitals, hear and'see
here and there a brawn y, sable negro, {9! a
few yet remain, with the healing stump of
an arm or a leg, lost in the defence of the
country, protruding from the narrow bed-
quilt. And then I Would like to propound
the inquiry—“ Could you, white citizen of
Connecticut, deny that suffering Union sol.
dz'er, black though he he, the right of a voice
in the making of laws which compel him, as
well as you, to answer to the draft, and take
his place in the trenches in defence of the
nation‘s life ?
But all men cannot think alike. And
those who feel most keenly the living lie
and disgrace ofa religious, even a republi-
can, community giving way to an unworthy
prejudice instead of yielding to a manly
sense of duty, should not be overmuch c'ast
down. We had two Bull Runs and only one
Gettysburg. And thatas sureas the stars
in their courses, as certain as the ocean
heaves, this questionwill not die. Justice
and Truth are eterllalé-God is a slow but
sure worker and the centuries are his. In-
stead of giving way to unmanly recrimina-
nest men thank God and take courage that
somuch has been wrought within the last
four years. Slavery has no legal foothold
and recognition beneath the flag that sym-
bolizes the free. American freedom is now a
thing of reality, instead of a theory. Public
sentiment has undergone a change, so rapid
and so marvelous that few can grasp its
magnitude. Think that it is scarce thirty
months ago that the very idea of a black
man fighting to subdue the rebellion, threw
every Copperhead into a cramp and spasm.
The first draft that put in peril the precious
scions of these copperhead households,
knocked over every previous objection to ne~
gross fighting, and they became the special
ments and Colored Battalions. Wonderful
and magical the change. And did this efi'ete
and disloyal party now for a moment sup
pose that the African could be blinded to
their only consistent record of faithful adhe-
rence to slavery and his vote be secured for
that party—do you think that they would
present to the world the ludicrous and dis-
creditable figure of defeating themselves 3‘ Not
a bit of it. The instincts and drill of the De-
mocracy are too absolute and sagacious for
that.
But of all the cant and hypocritical incon-
sistency that disgusts every honest mind.
must be that which ascribes to Andy John.
son a desire that manhood suffrage should be
defeated in Connecticut. Did ever audacious
impudence exceed the dispatch sent by a
m ember of the Connecticut Democratic State
Committee to this city last Tuesday.
“The Democrats sustained the policy of
President Johnson, Iup to the hub.’ Is it
not about time for MrJohnson to know who
his friends are.”
Whew—Did this Celtic innocent suppose
that President Johnson has forgotten how
the “democrats sustained his policy" in Ten-
nessee 1 How they hunted him through the
mountains thirsting for his blood. How the
“democrats sustained” the Union, the Soi-
diers in the field, the country, through all
these terrible four years of war? They mis-
take their man if they delude themselves into
any such belief.
So much for the disingenuous chuckling
of our foes. Now a word to our friends.
There is no cause for division in our ranks, if
there be cause for regret. The Republican
Union Party of Connecticut, has other and
Weighty duties to perform and must not lose
one iota of its strength if all do not agree as
yet on the question of equal suffrage. There
are hundreds of our most steadfast friends
who desire to see.voting diminished instead
of extended—who fairly and sincerely be-
lieve we have now far too low a standard of
electorship. There is weight in this objec-
tion and the paradox of a solid vote ofa class
of adopted citizens against impartial suffrage
adds force to this objection. Many soldiers
are said to have voted nay, because of the
indiscriminate and unwise laudafion of the
colored regiments in the field. The negroes
have fought well, the white soldier knows,
but he has fought no better than the white
soldier He is good for a dash, and a charge.
We’ve been there, and seen them in deadly
conflict and have felt an admiration we can.
not describe in view of all they have endur-
ed,ae we have seen their mutilated and life-
less forms borne on the stretcher to the rear.
We doubt very seriously whether they would
have stood like trees and received the fast“
repeated, awful, deadly shocks of our own
race at Gettysburg. Why should they! But
all these are questions for kind enlighten-
ment and discussion. The wily efforts of
the common enemy to break our ranks by
insidious appeals to prejudice, old as giant
end. Through the operations of their Asso-
ciations they have succeeded ih putting pri-
ces up so that they earned, we understand
on the average, about $30 per week.
finishers make much more, and do not work 5'?
full hours. With these prices it would'seem
they ought to be satisfied—good workmen in .
‘other trades are glad to get much less. Mes- "
are. A. 55 H. will not acceed to their demands
and from a “ Society shop” they have chang-
,. ed to an “Independent shop‘” and if they
succeed others will follow. And, indeed,
‘3 foul shops” are now going into operation
extensively. The workings of the Hat Fin-
ishers‘ Society hcre are the same as the late
Printers’ Union in New York which recently
controlled the best establishments in the city -
and dictated terms and mics. The Mane
finally resisted, was successful, and the other
ofiices followed suit. The Union was event-
ually forced to pass a vote allowing mem-
bers to make the best terms they could. We
are friends of the working class, and for their
own good hope when they are doing well
they will learn to “let well enough alone.”

Connuc'rrous—We are informed that the
premium for 2nd best Family Horse, at the
late'Fair, was awarded to Mr. Geo. Keefer,
of this place, instead of Mr. Bates, of West-
port, as published. Also that Mr. Guthrie’s
horse trotted against Mr.D.A. Newcomh’s and
won',‘ and that Sherwood had no competitors
for first premium. While racing at Ridge-
field Fair, on Thursday, Mr. Guthrie‘s horse
which was leading handsomely, suddenly he.

[3‘ The Schooner Robert Mogce, owned
by Capt. David Bennett of this town, was
lost in Hell Gate on Saturday morning last.
The vessel was loaded with coal for Mr.
Crosby, of Danhury, and sunk out of sight.
Vessel valued at about $2,000, no insurance.
A hard blow for Capt. Bennett—a steady,
worthy man.
“A.”
H‘ A new Hatting Establishment is about being
Fitch’s Home for Soldiers.
An interesting meeting of citizens was
held at the Home on the 4th inst, gathered
by general invitation, to witness the laying
of the Corner Stone of the new building.
It was literally a gathering of the people,
without distinction of sect or party. The
vited, and nearly all responded, either in
person, or by letter, and all expressed the
warmest interest in the plan and objects of
the Institution. ,
The day was very unpropitious for an out-
door exercise, and as the Corner Stone-—
through some unexplained failure, was not
ready for the ceremony, it was agreed to go
into the large Hall which Mr, Fitch has pro-
vided for a school room, and have a free con-
ference. Philander Button, Esq., of Green-
wich, was called to the chair, and discharg-
ed his duties with admirable ability and et-
fcct. ‘
[I wish those City editors who have tried
so hard to run him down, knew the man as
well I do. I am sure they would take back
‘ every word they have uttered to his discred-
it. Or if they had known the facts of the
case as the jury knew them, they would not
have uttered a word of reproach against
them. But no matter, that den of pollution
is removed to the city, and those scribblers
can see it for themselves, if they like]
Rev. Mr. Coleman, of the Presbyterian
Church in Darien, opened the exercises with
an appropriate prayer.. Mr. Button then
made ‘a statement to the following effect.
Mr. Benjamin Fitch, the founder of this
Institution, after giving the building and.
grounds now occupied, worth originally five
or six thousand dollars, placed in the hands
of the Trustees five thousand dollars to be
invested as a permanent fund, and five thou-
sand dollars to be expended in making re-
pairs on the old building and in erecting a
wing, containing a kitchen, dining-room and
this beautiful Hall, in which we are assem-
bled. He then went to Europe for a season,
and on his return presented to the Trustees
a Library of new and choice books which
he had collected, estimated to be. worth at
least four thousand dollars.» He. has» now
placed at their disposal the sum of nine
thousand five hundred dollars, the estimated
cost of the new building, the corner stone
of which should have been laid to day, but,
the box to be deposited in it is not ready.
We propose however, to go through 'with
all the preliminary services, and have the
workmen lay the stone when ready, without
further ceremony.
The object of the Institution is to provide
a home for soldiers who have been perma-
nently disabled by wounds or sickness,
while in the service of their country, also
for the children of soldiers, who have fall-
so in the service. And when these are
provided for, it is tabs at Home for desti-
tute widows and orphan children in this
senatorial district, and if the funds will
allow, in the County and State. It is based
and our common christianity. Its benefits
are confined to no creed, or sect, or party.
Like the good Samaritan. it proposes to do
the work of a brother, to the extent of its
capacity, to the most needy—and especially
to those who are most liable to be passed by
and neglected.
tain a room for the Library, and a room for
Statuary, Paintings and curiosities. One
group of statuary, executed by Powers, at a
cost of 15,000 francs is supposed to be now
on its way to this country. A number of
paintings are also in readiness, all the gifts
of Mr. Fitch. .
Mr. Button then read a resolution express-
ing high appreciation of these generous dona-
tions, which was seconded and carried
unanimously, the whole assembly rising.
.The meeting was then addressed success~
ivelyby the Revs. Mr. Williams of the Epis-
copal Church, South Norwalk; Mr. How-
iand of the North Church, Stanwich; Mr.
Day of the Baptist Church, Five Mile Riv-
er; Mr. Perry of the Methodist Church,
So. Norwalk, and Mr. Evans, late of Stam-
ford. Letters were read from the Rev.
Messrs. Murray and Yerrington of Green-
wich, Barnes of Darien, Thurston oi Stam-
ford, and S. B. S. Bissell of Norwalk, ex-
pressing their deep and earnest sympathy
with this movement, and their cordial good
wishes for the success of the enterprise.
A letter was then read from Mr. Fitch,
regretting his absence, and proposing a sen-
timent and a resolution, which aflera few
spirited remarks from the Rev. D. 0. Com-
stock. of Stamford, on the abuses sufi‘ered by
soldiers from a portion of the people—were
rising and then singing the Doxolgy,
“ Praise God from whom all blessings flow." .
A few remarks were made at the close in
response to the subscription now in progress
. for the funds, and Mr. Plait was referred to
as the Financial Agent, to which Mr. Platt
responded, that whenever they might meet
him, they might take it for granted that his
Subscription Book was ready. Three of the
Trustees then came forward with a subscrip-
tion to the permanent fund, which they had
prepared and signed, viz: '
Joseph B. Hoyt, $5,000; William A.
Cummings, $500; Philander Button, $500.
It is propo'sed to raise for this fund at least
Fifty Thousand Dollars. If all will give
according to their ability, the whole can be
completed in three months, and no one will
be the poorer for it. A Srncrarou.

in the work.
To our ladies, gentlemen, children and the

We learn that a committee of Citizens have suc-
ceeded in effecting an engagement ,with this distin-
guished young lady to deliver one of her popular
lectures in this piace,on Tuesday evening Oct. 24th.
The committee were very fortunatejin securing her,
for that evening was the only one at her disposal.
As an evidence of her great popularity it is enough
to state that shehas more applications than she can
fill, and generally receives Two Hundred Dollars
per night. She draws crowded hens es wherever
she goes, and although first class lectures man
pay in this intellectual town, we shall be much sur-
prised if Lockwoou's Hall is not filled to overflowing
with an eager audience on that evening.

Huckeye Hay and Stalk Cutter.
Among the numerous labor saving impli-
ments, exhibited at the late Fair that attract-
ed mt‘rch attention, and was awarded great
praise, was the Buckeye Hay and Stalk cut-
ter, which from the rapid and perfect man-
ner it does its work,it being self feeding, en-
tities it to the first place among the numer-
ous cutters now in use. This machine cuts
stalks, hay and straw with rapidity, and by a'
simple arrangement at any required length.
The knife in this machine is so placed that
it does away withall damages of cutting and
planning the person using it. This cutter
was not entered until after the committee
made their report which will account for
their omissionto-mention it. We learn that
Wm. C. Street has taken the agency for the
sale of them in this vicinity.

. [3' The ageof accidents fatal or disabling
is fully arrived,'if we may judge from the
. columns.“ our exchanges. Not one paper
comes to hand without an accident of some
frightful smash-up on the cars, or burning or
explosion of some boat. The loss of life and
limb in these accidents is so enormous that
the public attention is concentrated on these
so ‘much that the vast number . of accidents
fremoflifl' cam is excluded from view.—
And .no wonder, for an exchange states that
in five monthsendlng Aug. 313t,8181 persons
have lost their lives, and an indefinite num-
ber been, more or less injured in this way.—
Yet the number of accidents happening from
other causes—that is in the performance 0f
the daily duties of life, at our places of busi-
- ness and our homes—is more than 15 times
as great as those happening in travelling.
In View of. these facts, we concluded our
time to be hurt was aslikely to come as that.
of any other party leading a peaceful and
4 every-day sort of life, and we have provided
'against an accident being a money loss to us
by taking a Policy against accidents of all
kinds in the Travelers Ins. Co., of Hartford.

umn this week, over the signature of Mr.

[3' It would be an advantage to the Nor-
walk ladies and vicinity to attend to the fall
and winter opening of bonnets which takes
place at Mrs. Tindail & 00’s on Thursday
next. We should judge from the extensive
preparations that have recently been made
by the firm,-that New York will be outvied
by the above named establishment. We are
living under a republic, but the Empire holds
sway, and to be out of the fashion one might
as well be out of the world, so let all the la-
dies be on the qui cine and see what they can
see at this fall opening—We are sure that
there will be quite an opening to invest.

Gamma—Mr. A. Swords,at South Nor-
walk, keeps a first-rate Clothing establish-
ment, as the people there have found out. In
addition to the Ready Made Department, he
does first-class custom work. His brother,
who has given “fits” to the rebels during the
war, and who is an excellent “cutter,” has
charge of this branch of the business, and as
we have occasion to know, succeeds admira-
bly in giving satisfaction to his patrons.
There is no need of going to New York for
