What is meant by a Republican form of 9mm: 1’ It is lihly to be a grave ques- tion in the immediate future. The constitu- tion of the United States requiresthe Repubo lic, as a unit, to guarantee such form to each State. Eleven States have formed or are forming new Constitutions for themselves. These Constitutions are their form of Gov. ernuient. When shall they be deemed Re- publican. and when not so ? It is a ques- ticntfor the United Stems to decide, by the very Language of the Federal Constitution. The republic not only has a supervisory pow- er in this respect, but is imperstively ryquir. ed to exercise it. But what department of the Government of the United States shall exercise this power. It is suflcient answer to this, to say, that from the beginning of ‘ the Government, Congress hes exercised the power. Whenever a State Constitution has hed'ito be presented any where for the sanction of the Republic, it has been pre- sented to Congress, and Congress has ex- pressly decided whether it be Republican in form, before the State has been permitted to exercise its functions under it. The States which are now engaged in the work of Constitution-making, are therefore subject to the supervhery power of Congress and that body is to decide whether the new frame of government are Republican inform. What shall be the criterion in making the decision 7 What is the fundamental thought in the word republican accbrding to the American idea 1’ Is it not identical with the common conception “self-government by the peoplcuho are the vulg‘ects of government? Suppose then that a State Constitution is brought under the review of Congress, which clothes the minority of the people of that State with all the powers of government, and subjects the majority to their unlimited control 1’ Is this Republican, or Aristocrat- ic ? Or suppose the balance to be the other way, and only the minority are denied any participation in the government, by being excluded from all political privileges, so as not to be even allowed to vote, in order to ascertain where the majority lies? Does this make any difference in the principle? Is any government Republican except where Universal Sufi‘rage is made the medium of ascertaining the popular will 2 If so, how far shall the sufirage be limited before your Republic shall cease to be a Republic, and become an Aristocracy 2 England is said to be an Aristocrscy, not because her rulers are designated asKing, Lords, and Commons, in- stead of President, Senators and Representa- tives, but because, out of her millions of sub- jects, only a few hundred thousand are per- mitted to vote. We feel instinctively that she tends towards Republics nism, just so far and 'so fast as she extends the sufi‘rsge. Is what is true on one side of the Atlantic, false on the other ? We throw out these suggestions for the reflection of true Republicans. If that des- ignation means anything, we may as well be true to that meaning in our political action. If it means nothing, we may as well give up its use. W The Brass Band. We learn that our Norwalk Brass Band are soon to receive a splendid full set of ger- man-silver instruments, (sixteen pieces), through the munificence of our public-spir- ited fellow citizen, LnGnANn Locxwoon, Esq. We trust now, that other citizens will come forward, and assist the boys in getting uniforms, paying teacher, doc. They are now improving very fast indeed, and already play very creditsbly, even with their old worn out: instruments. Several experienced players have lately been secured, and the future prospects of the Band are very en-. couraglng. «e» To be Mastered Out. The Hartford Press says that Gov. Buck- ingham is informed by a note from the war department, that the 8th and 11th regiments have been ordered mustered out immedi- ately. 0‘.-. BASE BALL—The nine of Stamford have invited the nine of Norwalk, to play a game of base ball.--Adoocate. WAnd the nine of Norwalk, (we are sor- ry to Say our “first” and only uine—the“Cc- lumbia" boys being “played out,”) have ac- cepted the invitation,aud the game will come ofi' in Stamford—weather permitting, and we have no faith that it will,—on Saturday, Dec. 2, atthe grounds of the Mazepps Club, on Summer Street.

LeGrand Lockwood has purchased of Mr. E. W. Stewart, the lots in the rear of E. Va. Chichester’s dwelling house, facing on the street running by the Straw Hat Fac- tory. Mr. Lockwood now owns, we believe, the entire square from Mr. Beatty’s corner down to Mr. Sammis‘s Store, with the ex- ception of the dwelling houses of Messrs. Stuart and Chichester on the upper corner. _ We learn that the stone Lodge, at the en- '9 trance of this property, is being elegantly furnished, and is to be occupied this winter by Mr. Lockwood and family. ewe-‘— E‘C.

The Shenandoah ~Cnrscs home to Roost. Late arrivals from Europe report that the notorious anglO-rebei-pirale cruiser, Shenan- doah, which it Will be remembered was built, fitted out,manncd and cleared from_an English port, received its arms, ammunition, &c., from an English vessel, direct from an English port, and which put into another English port in Australia, where it received courtesies, prcvisicns,&c., whence it sailed to the North Pacific Ocean and destroyed a large number, in fact nearly the whole of our Whaling fleet, and that too, after the South- ern Confederacy had fallen. This vessel, which now the English papers themselves are calling a pirate, steamed into the Mersey and surrendered to the English gusrdship, Donegal. This is as it should be; she left England to destroy our commerce, her er. rand being accomplished, she returned back to her home again. But her arriVal there at this time seems to be somewhat troublesome to our amiable neutrality friends. They are in a quandary; they don’t know how to treat her; had much rather she had been burnt or sunk at sea, rather than to come home now that the rebellion is dead, and they are being called to settle for such breaches of neutrality, as the Alabama and the Shenandoah. They handle the question very gingerly, as if they had got their fingers slightly burned. Poor fellows, they are to be pitied; but as they sow they must reap. The English papers are discussing the question involved by her return, with much anxiety; they all agree that she should be surrendered to the United States, and some of them contend that the Captain and crew should be tried for piraCy, as she carried on hostilities on her Captain’s cwn responsi- bility, after he had been informed of the close of the war. Some of them declared that England could not, would not, and dare not liberate them, but would hold them to strict account ! But alas for their prognos- tications, the last arrival announces that they have all been set at liberty and the vessel de- livered over to the American Minister, who had engaged a captain and crew to sail her to New York. 1‘.» .—-—————— [3‘ A session ofthe United States Circuit Court, with either Chief-Justice Chase or Judge Underchd presiding, has been or- dered to commence at Norfolk, Va., tc-day, (Monday,) and it is thought by some that i’ts business will be the trial of J efi‘.

Thelarge Hall, however, will undoubtedly accommodate all who come. .» WNew York city politics are getting to be quite interesting. Five candidates are up for Mayor, and all parties clamor for “Rs- form” and a more honest and economical ad- ministration of affairs. C. Godfrey Gunther runs again, and Fernando Wood wants to. Marshal O. Roberts is the Union candidate, and John T. Hofimsu the regular Democrat- ic. John W. Farmer, noted for liberality in giving soup to the poor, is run by the Army and Navy Association. The Citizen’s Asso. ciation, destined to be very powerful, run John Hecker, and the Tribune—knowing that no simply party man can be elected, and thinking that national politics have nothing to do with city afi'airs,—-supports him in preference to any of the others ; several democratic associations also cry “for more (of Heckcr’s) bread.” ' May the best man win. «<0». Return of Colored Regiments. The colored Regiments from Connecticut, the 29th and 31st 0. T., arrived in Hartford, from Texas, last Friday. The two regiments numbered about 1400—what, men ?—and were well received and treated like soldiers. They were furnished with a collation at the City Hall, and were addressed by Major Stillman, Gov. Buckingham, Gen. Hawley and Col. Wooster. They were escorted through the city by the City Guards and Buckingham Rifles, headed by Colt’s Band. The 29th were paid ofi‘ on Saturday receiv- ing about $200 per man. .<“. Hayward’s Panorama. The Panorama of the Dawn of Christian- ity, which has been exhibiting in this vicino fly the past week, is to return to South Nor- vlalk again next week. The subject is one of deep interest to all christians,and the paint- ings are said to be very interresting as works of art. We advise all to attend. ' ea...» Concert. Prol- Fox, who gave aConcert here last summer, is again in town, training the chil- dren for another Concert, to be given at Lockwood’s Hall, on Thursday and Friday evenings. Queens, fairies, gipseys, zephyrs, flower girls, etc., will appear in costume. The children will tell you all about‘it. s<.>u B‘Gen.

WSaturday was the 82d anniversary of the evacuation of New York by the British troops in 1783, on the conclusion of the war of Independence. The occasion was recog- nized bya general display of the national flag on the public buildings throught the city and on the shipping. The Veterans of the War of 1812 celebrated the day by a parade through some of the prinéipal streets and an association dinner. .<.p. FLORIDA—The President, on Monday week, received the following telegram from Governor Marvin of Florida : o “The Convention has annulled the ordi- nance of secession, abolished slavery, and declared that all the inhabitants of the State, without distinction of color, are free and that no person shall be incompetent to testify as a witness on account of color, in any matter wherein a colored person is concerned. It has repudiated the State debt contracted in support of the rebellion, amended the con— stitution in other respects, and adjourned (Signed) WM. MARvIN, Provisional Governor.” .<.>. WA collisicn occurred Thursday night be- tween the Niagara and Post Boy on the Mis- sissippi, seven miles above Helena. The Niagara sunk in 20 feet of water. One hun- dred deck passengers, mostly discharged col- ored soldiers, were drowned. The cabin pas- sengers and crew were all saved. The Ni- agara was valued at $130,000 and was not insured. She had 200 tune of freight on board. The Post boy was not injured. -<.>e+—-———— wAdmiral Farragut tells a good story of a boy who, in a great storm at sea, when the ships crew were all at prayers, burst into a fit of laughter. Bcin reprcved for his ill~ timed mirth, and as ed the reason of_it, “Why,” said he, “I was laughing to think what a hissing the boatswain’s red nose will make when it comes into the water." This ludicrous remark set the crew to laughing, inspired them with new spirits, and by great exertions, they brought the vessel safe into port. K.» —-Charles J.

RESCUE or SHIPWRECKED Murmans— The Boston Couriergives the following ac- count of the rescue of the crew of a schooner la‘ely wrecked co the south side of the Island of Nantucket :— By means of a gun provided for such emer gencies by the Massachusetts’ Humane Socr- ety, a line was thrown over the vessel, and after considerable delay, owing to the exhaus- ted coudition of the shipwrecked crew, a rope attached to the line, was hauled on board and fastened to the mast-head. When this was done, a chair made for the purpose was run off on a hanging block, and one of the crew got in to be hauled on shore. When his weight began to press on the small line from the mast-head to the shore, it began to stretch and he to sink down toward the top of the raging billows beneath him. When a little more than half way to land, the small line of the vessel used to veer him along the line and pull the chair back, got foul, and, for more than an hour, there the poor fellow hung, tne line stretching, and the waves ready to swallow him in case it parted. At last he was drawn within a few yards of the nearest breaker, in which he was submerged everytime the vessel] rolled toward the belch. A rope was thrown to him by men wading up to their necks in the breakers, and he was dragged to land. In a similar man- ner, after toilsome exertions, continued all day long the other shipwrecked mariners were rescued, the last man reaching the shore just at sunset.” o<.>o THE OYSTER—The oyster is a pleasant table servant. The oysterhas many friends. Here are some facts about the oyster. Scien- tifically the oyster is a lamellibranchiste molusc! Each oyster can produce 1,200,000 eggs. Each young oyster is the hundred and twentieth of an inch in length, and about two millions may be packed within the dimensions of a cubic inch. About one- half of all the young oysters are eaten up by old fish. Oysters attain their majority in two years. The majority of those eaten by bivalvulous man, however, see only one and one half years of age. In this country, ow- ing to greater chcapness and the easier cir- cumstances of the working classes, the Con- sumption of the oyster trade of New York alone, is estimated at over $5,000,000 an- nually. -~<.>. —The Tunisian embassadors sailed from Boston on Wednesday. The new carriage factory of Messrs. Brecherdt Miles, near Ansonia, took fire on Tuesday morning and burned to the ground. The property had recently come into the pns session of this firm, who had made and \\ u. (1 making large improvements threw. Eight thousand dollars wor Ul. carriages, ready for market, were consumed. The origin of the fire is unknown. The whole loss is estima- ted at 20,000, on which there is only insu- rance to the amount of 7,500. For the Gazette. Will Norwalk Do Her Part ? The town of Stamford contributed last year and this, over $2,000 towards the cur- rent expenses of the Home for Soldiers , Other towns have con- tributed nearly in proportion to the number of children they have sent to the Institution. Children in Darien. But Norwalk still lags behind. With more children at the Home than any other town in the District, the whole town has contribu- ted but little over $600 in money and pro- visions—in addition to what the Ladies have done in the way of clothing. Is this to be end of it? Will Norwalk consent to the continuance of this unequal sharing of a common burden ? Will she continue to ask Stamford to support the children of her hen- ored dead ? Or will she come up promptly and do her part ? - It is true the town has not been thorough. 1y ~canvassed; it was commenced three months ago in good earnest, but there were so many pressing calls at that time, and so many ‘of the most able men made excuses, that it was deemed best to wait awhile. Whether it was wise thus to wait, time will determine. The wants of the Institution are such as to make an immediate and press- ing application for funds indispensable. They have lost their only cow, and thirty- four hungry children are without a drop of milk. They are fast consuming all that has been raised in the field and graden, and will soon want potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, corn, buckwheat, &c. The winter is com- ing On, and they must have fuel and lights, shoes, stockings and fiannels. The school teacher, the superintendent and the help in the kitchen must be paid. Then there must be some meat bills, for even soldiers children cannot lives“ the time on hasty pudding. Fortunately there is no rent to pay and no interest money on the buildings. . - The cost of supporting a child there is but little, if at all, greater than that of support- ing him in the Poor House. The benefit to them, and to the community is iacalculable. It is amgzing that any one professing either benevolence or patriotism can look coldly on such an opportunity to honor the memo- ry of our fallen heroes, and at the same time rescue those helpless orphans from the deg- redaticn to which they were exposed by the death of their fathers. If our citizens will but inform themselves, and think of the matter seriously, there will be no such cold- ness hereafter. DENNIS PLATT. , About. one hundred and fifty returned sol- , dicrs and sailors met at the State House in l Hartford, on Wednesday last, in response to I the Call for a convention of veterans and the 3 organization of a United Service Club.
