Party Names.
The history of the word “Democrat” in
American. politics, is a striking illustration
of the tenacity with which men cling to
names after all their original significance
has been lost or perverted. When party
ines began to be drawn upon the question
of the adoption of the Constitution of the
United States, in the Autumn of 1787, the
friends of that instrument came to be known
as Federalists, and their opponents as Anti-
Federalists. The former succeeded in car-
rying the adoption of the new governmental
system,and all parties united in the successive
elections of Washington to the Presidency.
A bitter opposition, however, sprang up du-
ring his second term, but was defeated in
the election by which John Adams follow-
ed Washington in the administration of af.
fans. The constitution had become so
popular that the designation of anti-federal-
sts was odious to the people, and that party
under the leadership of Jefferson, now as-
sumed the name of Republicans. The Fed-
eralists, to fix a stigma upon their opponents,
called them Democrats. a word which had
incurred some odium by the excesses of the
French Revolution. The Republicans, how-
ever, adopted the name as expressive of
the! fundamental principles, which their
great leader, J efi‘erson, had incorporated in-
tolthe Declaration of Independence, asserting
thereby the political equality of all men,
and the rights of every member of a self-
governing community to participate in the
choice of its magistrates. The part; con-
tinued in power till it had overjome .11 op-
POSlliOD, annihilated ’Iie federalist organi-
zation, and sweat away the principal barri-
ers ‘0 civil, equality which had survived the
R“frolution. From the election of J efier-
son to the election of Harrison, all the in
cumbents of the Presidential chair were
Democrats by party designation. But, du-
ring the latter portion of this period the
control of the Democratic organization had
fallen into the hands of Southern statesmen,
who, debauched by the influences of slavery,
had repudiated the original Democratic prin-
ciples, and now boldly denied all the essen-
tial doctrines of. the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Upon the return of the party to
power, in 1844, scarcely a vestige of its an-
cient distinctive features remained. Instead
of being the advocate of the rights of man,
it became their deadliest enemy. The Whig
party was too timid to revive the issues up-
on which Jefi‘erson had attained the posses-
sion of the Executive chair, and equal rights
drooped and seemed about to perish till the
Kanzas conspiracy in 1856, evmced the utter
corruption which prevailed in the adminis-
tration of public afi‘airs'
Yet all this time, hundreds of thousands
of men clung to the Democratic ticket mere-
ly from attachment to the name, without
perceiving that, in so doing, they were aim-
ing a deadly blow at all the principles of true
democracy. The exposure of the Kanzas
conspiracy opened the eyes of many to the
danger of the Republic, and the best men of
the Democratic party looked eagerly around
for some new organization wherein their ef-
forts could be made effectual for the rescue
of the Government from the oligarcby which
controlled it. The Whig party was in ruins;
the American party, based on a mistaken
- idea, was falling to pieces, and in this state
of affairs, a new party sprang into existence
under the grand old designation which had
triumphantly fought its way to the presiden-
tial mansion in the the earlier days of the
Union. The REPUBLICAN party, organized
anew in 1856, was composed of the best ma-
terial of the nation. Its principles were
those of the Declaration of Independence.
It struggled to power through the fiercest
political conflicts which the country had yet
seen, and then the oligarchy which had
usurped the name of Democracy appealed
to arms, and endeavored to subvert the Gov-
ernment itself. It was defeated in battle, as
it had been at the polls, and now boldly
comes back, and demands the suffrage of
the people, under its stolen name." And at
thhhour thousands upon thousands of well-
meaning citizens go to the polls and vote the
ticket of Aristocracy, and unequal privi-
lege, for no other reason than because it is
labelled Democratic i
It would be well for tbegopponents of that
party to take a lesson from this historical re-
view. There never was a political desig-
nation which so well expressed the princi-
plesfor which the supporters of Abraham
Lincoln and of Andrew Johnson have
struggled and are struggling, as the word
REPUBLICAN. During the war, for the pur-
poses of conciliation, party names were often
wisely dropped, but they are now resuming
their full significance, and RnrunchN is one
which should never be permitted to beperm-
anently abandoned. It means something,
and,at present, above all other times, it means
something exceedingly significant. It means
that this country is not an Aristocracy, but a
Republic ; It means that equal rights are not
a sham. It means unflinching loyalty to
the Union, through battle and to death, if
need be. It is entwined with all the sacrifices
and all the triumphs of the war. The name
of Democrat. on the other hand, as a party
. designation, has lost all its old significance.
‘ It means faint-heartedness and truckling
subserviency to powerful wickedness; it
_ means withdrawal from the support of the
Government in the hour of its deadly peril;
"it" ‘means J eflerson Davis, and Robert
Toombs, and Judah P. Benjamin; it means
hostility to equal rights, and favor to privi-
‘ leged orders. And the people, if they are
‘ not suffered to be beguiled from the truth,
Will spew it out of their months. But they
must have something substantial and sig-
nificant to cling to, if we would not have
them beguiled, and for this reason, among
' others, our political banner is the flag of the
Republic, and our political designation the
word honored alike by the memories of J ef-
' ferson' and Lincoln,—REPUBLICAN.

Rail Road Collision on the
New York & New Haven R. B.
ONE PERSON KILLED AND SEV-
ERAL INJURED.
A collision between a construction train
and a milk train, occurred on the New York
& New Haven Road, between Stamford and
00s Cob, on Sunday evening, about twenty
minutes past six o’clock, by which Horace
Wildman, a batter from Danbury, who had
been working at South Norwalk,_ lost his
life, and D. H. Persons, Conductor; George
Stevens, Engineer; Frank Hubbell, and
Frank Lowdeu brakemen, belonging to the
freight train of the Danbury & Norwalk Rail
Road, and Edward Lyman Engineer of the
Norwalk Special on the New Haven Road,
were severely injured. Mr. Person’s ankle
was fractured (a compound one) and he was
otherwise severely hurt. George Stevens,
Engineer,'was on, though not running the
Locomo'live, and was severely injured in the
back and face, by jumping off just before the
collision. Frank’Hubbell had his leg broken
in two places below the knee. Frank Low-
den was badly bruised about the head and
shoulders, though no bones are broken. Ed-
ward Lyman, Engineer, who was running
the milk train remained on the locomotive,
and was badly injured in the hip and arm.
Horace Wildman was endeavoring to get
out of the window when the collision occur-
red, snd was jammed in a dreadful manner,
and remained insensible till the next morn-
ing when he died. The collision was be-
tween a construction train from Cos Cob
Bridge and a Milk train from Danbury,
which was being run by Mr. Lyman, Engi-
user of the New York do New Haven Rail
Road, from Norwalk to Cos Cob, and was
caused by mistake of the operator at Stam-
ford or Cos Cob. When the Milk train
reached Stamford, Mr. Lyman was told by
the Telegraph operator, that be was directed
to inform him that the track would be clear
from Stamford to CosCob until seven o’clock,
conseqeently he started for Cos Cob at ten
minutes past six, having ample time to make
the run. The train had gone but a short
distance when the construction train was dis-
covered, but not in time to prevent the col-
lision.
We do not learn howthe Telegraph Ope-
rator received his information, but suppose
by telegraph from Cos Cob, as Mr. Hoyt, Su~
perintendent, was on the up train, and says
his orders were to inform Lyman that the
track would be clear after seven o’clock.
The Locomotives were badly injured and
One passenger car on the New Haven train.
The cars containing the milk were smashed
up. Mr. Pearsons has just recovered from
several weeks illness, and was yet in feeble
health. We trust that all the injured will
recover.

Miss Dickinson in Norwalk.
A rare intellectual entertainment is in
store for our citizens, tonight, in the lecture
to be given by Miss ANNA E. DICKINSON.
This eloquent young Quakeress has sought
out a new field of self-support, and has met
with abundant success, while sacrificing not
one whit of a true womanly dignity. Indeed,
thousands who were attracted to bear only
to carp and criticise, have gone away fully
convinced that she, at least, has a right to
speak in public. At times she is surpassing-
ly eloquent, and her power over her subject
and audience is truly wonderful.
She is paid the same as given the late ED-
WARD EVERETT, and we are sure all who go
to hear her will feel satisfied that she should
command it. Having heard her many times
we have only to add that any one missing
this favorable opportunity will have good
cause to regret it.

The President Advises Repu- ,

The following dispatch was sent to Gov- r

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 18, 1865.
W. W. Holden, Prooist'onal Governor:
Every dollar of the state debt created to
aid the rebellion against the United States
should be repudiated, finally and forever.
The great mass of the people should not be
taxed to pay a debt to aid in carrying on a
rebellion which they, in fact, if left to them~
selves, were opposed to. Let those who have
given their means for the obligations to the
state look to that power they tried to estab-
lish
and will of the people. They must meet
their fate. It is their misfortune, and can-
not be recognized by the people of any state i
professsng themselves loyal to the govern-
ment of the United States and in the Union,
I repeat that the loyal people of North-
Carolina should be exonerated from the pay-
ment of every dollar of indebtedness created
to aid in carrying on the rebellion. I trust.
and hope that the peOple of North Carolina.
will wash their hands of everything that
partakes in the slightest degree of rebellion,
which has been so recently crushed by the
strong arm of the government, in carrying
out the obligations imposed by'tbe constitu-
tion of the Union. .

Teachers’ Institute.
The Teachers’ Institute of Fairfield Coun-
ty, under the direction of the State Board of
Education, opened its session at the High
School, Stamford, at 11 A. M., Wednesday.
There was not quite so large an attendance
as had been expected, but enough were pres-
ent to afford encouragement that Stamford
might be relied on to help forward the good
work of education. The meeting'was organ-
ized by appointing Rev. E. B. Huntington
as chairman, and Mr.—Brinsmade as See-
retary. After prayer by Rev. Mr. Thurston
of the Congregational" Church, as address
was delivered by D. C. Gillmau, Esq., Secre-
tary to the State Board of Education. Mr.
G. said Connecticut must be careful or she
would soon be outstripped in the interest
taken in common schools, by many of the
Western States, and he instanced Michigan‘
as one that had given prominent attention to
the subject. He desired to awaken the sym-
pathy and interest of the people in the im-
portant work of education. If our negli.
geuce were not immediately apparent, it
would be sure to be visited upon us in the
future by the growth of an ignorant and un-
cultured population.
The meeting in the afternoon was one of
great interest to all who were present. Mr.
Gilman proceeded in a few remarks to set
forth very clearly one of the chief hindran-
ces now in the way of our educational prog-
ress—the great variety of school books used
even in the same school; and drew forth from
the teachers present the lessons of their ex-
perience and observation. With great una-
nimitythey urged the duty of the new State
Board of Education to secure at the earliest
possible moment uniformity in the text
books of the State. The Professor next in-
sisted on the same course by which a new
professional spirit should be awakened
among teachers. The Normal School should
be made to subserve the ends for which it
was established. Teachers admitted to it
were hereafter to be examined by the Facul-
ty of the school, rather than received on the
certificate of the town boards. The School
l Journal must be made more. and more the
teachers owu journal, written by them and
for them. And teachers themselves must
. be accredited as a professional corps, not
subjugated to repeated examinations on
going from one school to another of the
same grade. These points were all earnestly
discussed and approved by the Institute.
On Lhe whole, the meetings of the institute,
though not numerously attended, give prom-
ise that the new Secretary will do all that
skill and zeal can do for our State schools.
In the evening a lecture was delivered in
the Baptist Church; by Prof. N. Porter, of
New Haven, on the subject of “Books and
Reading.” The discourse was replete with
sound instruction and elevated morality,ancl
was atborough-analysis of popular literature.
Thursday morning was occupied by a se-
ries of practical lessons, conducted by teach-
ers, on the management of classes in com-
mon schools. There were lectures in the
afternoon "0n the study of Natural Sciences,"
by Prof- W. H. Brewer, late of the California
Geological Survey, and on Elocution, by
Prof. Mark Bailey, of New Haven, and in
the evening {lecture on “the growth of Lan-
guage, illqstrated from the English,” by Prof.
W. D. Whitney, of New Haven.
