This convention assembled at Allyn Hall, Hartford, at 10 o’clock, A. M., on Wednesday ast, there being a large attendance. Called to order by James Gallagher, chairman of State Com. Hon. Wm. D. Bishop, was ap- pointed temporary chairman, and C. M. Hol- ley secretary. Mr. Bishop returned thanks for‘ the honor in an energetic speech, landing ' his party to the highest altitude of political glory and love for the Union, as be under- stood it. " Committees on credentials, permanent or- ganization, and resolutions, were then ap- pointed—also to nominate a State central committee. . Thos. H. Bond, of New Haven, was elect- ed permanent President, and expressed his thanks for the honor conferred upon him in a brief speech, claiming to be enamored with the President and his policy. ' The committee .on credentials, and the nominating committee to present names for a State central committee, made their re— ports, which were both adopted. The convention then voted to take an in- formal ballot for Governor. The names of James E. English and Loren P. Waldo were presented, but the latter was withdrawn at the request of the gentleman himself. As there ,was but one name then before the con- vention, Mr. Olmstead, of Stamford, moved that James E English, of New Haven, be nominated as the candidate for Governor by _ acclamation, which was carried unanimously. The other State candidates were nomina- ted in the same way, and are as follows: , For Lieut-Govemor—Ephraim H. Hyde. of Stafford. ' For Secretary of State—Jesse Olney, of Stratford. For Treasurer—Heman H. Barbour, of Hartford. _ 17hr Comptroller—Col. Thos. H. C. Kings- bury, of Franklin. Mr. English, being notified of his nOmina- tion, appeared and signified his acceptance ‘ in a brief speech, and said he was ready to stand or fall with the Democratic party. Most of the speaking was done by James Gallagher and W. W. Eaton, who could see no virtue or good except what was monopo- liz'ed by the Democratic party. Resolutions prepared by W. W. Eaton were adopted, as follows: Resolved, That the Congress of the United States possesses no power under the Constr- tution to determine who Shall be eligible to the right of suffrage, That is a right belong- ing and appertaining to the States, or the people of the States as such; and that any and all attempts upon the part of Congress to force upon the people of any State or States any class as citizens thereof and enti- tled to the right of suffrage, are violations of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and are infringements upOn the rights of the States. Resolved, That the act of secession, so called, by which certain of the States sought to disrupt the Union and establish for them- selves a separate government, was in Its ru- ception void and of no effect; that the States so endeavoring to secede were never out .of the Union, but were then, as they are now, members thereof, and having by their Con- ventions or legislature declared said pretend- ed acts Of secession null and void, and sol- emnly expressed their devotion to the Union and their determination to maintain the Con- stitution—therefore said States are of right entitled to all the privileges and powers of States belonging to and exercised by them previous to said pretended acts of secession. Resolved, That the legislatures of the so- called acceded. States, in voting to adopt the amendment of the organic law, permanently abolishing slavery, exercised the highest and most important duty devolving upon the States of the Federal Union; that the gov- ernment of the United States, in proclaiming said amendment,- in the most solemn man— ner, has recognized said States as members of the United States; therefore the Democra- cy of Connecticut hereby assert that any at- tempt upon the part of Congress to prevent the representation of said States in the coun- cils of the nationis deserving the severest reprehension of the people of each and every State. Resolved, By the Democracy of Connecticut, that the distinguished citizen now occupying the Presidential chair, by his earnest efforts for the restoration of _ the Union upon its proper basis; by his manly and statesman- like position in Opposition to negro suffrage; by his resistance to the insane and unwise efforts of a Congressional majority, who seek to destroy the Constitution of our fathers b mischievous amendments—has deserved we I of his country; and a courageous persever- ance in the course so taken will place the name of Andrew Johnson high upon the roll of renown and second to none of the great statesmen who have illustrated the annals of the Union. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Sena- tors and Representatives of this State, in the Congress of' the United States, to devote their time, their talents and energies to the best interests of their constituents, to so far as possible release them from burdensome taxation, to cause the army and navy of the United States'to be reduced as soon as prac- ticable to a peace establishment, and insist upon such a just and economical administra- tion of the government as will restore the country at the earliest moment to its former' prosperity and greatness; to attend to the interest of that class who formed the govern- ment—the white man—and rest satisfied that in his prosperity the African race will have a sure guaranty of its welfare. Rowland, . ‘hat justice demands that the burden of taxation should 'be borne equally by all who enjoy the protection of the gov- ernment. ,' Resolved, That we heartily endorse the nominees of the Convention, and promise our united and earnest endeavors to secure their election.

Reading Matter on Every Page. E'DITORIAL LETTER. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1866. Another -wcck, significant in popular events, closes its record today; Mr. Sum« ner delivered in the Senate, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the greatest oratorical effort of his life. His theme was a plea for the en- franchisemenf of colored Union men—the justice of which is made conspicuous by Ex- ecutive anxiety to restore the ballot to trai- tors, whose hearts are to—day as defiant and murderous as when rebel cannon first boomed over Sumter. Next in order of Congressional action is the passage of the Freedmen’s Bureau bill. This measure, by common consent, is the most “radical ” enactment yet brought be- fore Congress, and nevertheless it is'said to meet President Johnson s approval. It now only awaits his signature to become a law. The Bankrupt bill has claimed the atten- tion of the House for several days, and it is believed it will ultimately pass. On Monday next George Bancroft is to deliver the National Funleral Oration upon ,Mr. Lincoln. It is to be made a grand and imposing affair quite worthy the man it would commenDate, and yet how unlike all his manner of life, in its formalities and dis- play. ' Great anxieties are daily expressed here by friends conversant with our Connecticut politics over the approaching State Conven- tion. It is to be hoped that wise and tem- perate, yet fearless and faithful counsels will prevail. At no time in the country’s history have we needed true, manly, outspoken frank- ness, so much as now. Among true political friends—all eager for the accomplishment of the same grand results—there should be no nncharitableness, much less bitterness, how- ever great the divergence of opinions on mi- nor points. On the other hand, no true man will dare to yield a vital principle which has been baptized in the patriot blood of this ter- rible war. No one man, no dozen men may dictate compromises, subserviency, and aban- donment of principle. If there is any one thing as firmly fixed as religious convictions in the minds of all true men of today, it is that the just results of this fearful conflict shall not be bartered for Ofllcc or for power. Let good and true men he put in nomination, and anhonest platform be adopted, and then the Union party in Connecticut march to easy victory. - B. ' .‘.>. The Installation.

The project of a Railroad between Stamford and New Canaan is being strongly agitated, and meetings of citizens are being held in both places to discuss the matter. New Canaan people seem determined to do something to keep what business they now have in the place, and to do so, think it nec- essary to have a Railroad to tide water; and Stamford, jealous of the prosperity Of Nor- walk, and especially Of South Norwalk, which they think has been built up by the ,Danbury Railroad, is anxious to secure the terminus at that place, and thus get the New , Canaan trade, which now comes to Norwalk. Jas. H. Hoyt, Superintendent of the N. Y. & N. H. R. R., is anxious to have the road built, and, says it can be placed in running order for about $100,000, and thinks his Company will be willing to stock and run the road. New Canaan parties Offer to take one-half of the stock, and say they could raise the other half easily if they would only bring the road to Norwalk. They estimate the amount now paid for transportation on freight and passengers to and from New On- naan at $24,275 per year. Mr. J. B. Hoyt, of Stamford, subscribed $5,000 for stock, and the Advocate is enthusiastic and thinks the road will be in running order before Christ- mas, and talks of pushing it through Ridge- field to Danbury. _______ .9... ._._-_ WThe Lilchfield Sentinel, (dernocratic,) comes to us in a new dress, and somewhat enlarged.

Strangers wishing to locate here can obtain no houses and are forced to go somewhere else, and in some cases good families who have lived here for years are obliged to leave, because they can get not houses to live in.

Trowbridge, the popular writer, (author of “Neighbor .Jackwood,” “Cudjo’s Cave,” &e,) and will contain about. 3132' hundred pages, with many- full page illustrations and maps. Since last August Mr. Trowbridge has been travelling in the South for the express purpose of col- lecting material for this work, which is in- tended to comprise a description of the pres- ent condition of the “sunny South,” its Ag- riculture, Railroads, Business and Finances; accounts of Confederate misrule; the suffer— ings, necessities, mistakes, political views, social conditions and prospects of 'all class- es; including visits to patriot graves, rebel prisons, battle grounds, &c., &c. The au- thor’s prominence in the literary world, se- cured to him the acquaintance of many dis- dinguished oflicers of the Union army, and leading citizens of the South, giving him unusual facilities for prosecuting his work.

The gathering at Norwalk Hall, on, Wed- nesday evening last, of the friends and Par- ishioners of Rev. Samuel H. Smith, pastor of the 2nd M. E. Church, was an occasion of more than ordinary interest. A large company filled the capacious Hall, and the evening was spent in delightful so- cial intercourse. And, as the term of his ministerial labors in his present charge, will expire‘with the Session of his Conference in April next, many persons had expressed a desire to meet him at this place, to testify their .friendly regard and respect, for his character and services. And this opportuni- ty, they greatly enjoyed. At the close of the interview, Dr. A. Hill, in behalf of the company, presented him with a substantial token of their regard, in the sum of $375. As also a beautiful piece of cloth for an overcoat, from his friends at the New Mill of Winnipauk. To which he responded in a neat and touching little speech expressing grateful appreciation of this very generous manifestation of kindness on the part of his friends. ,D’Artois was present with his delicious Cream, and the evening passsed most pleas- antly away. The amount received by him in cash was subsequently increased to $412. The Rev.

EDrTousz—I am pleased to see ' that I am not alone, and that your remarks l on “ 'l‘lrc Wants of Norwalk” has attracted E the notice of' some. It willsoon be found up hill work to keep a sufficient depth of water in our- channel for vessels; such as have, may at times reach the Bridge, or come nearer than South Norwalk, Our inertncss was the cause of the activity of Bridgeport._ The same is now being the building up of South Norwalk. I have no jealous fears of her, on the contrary, am pleased to see their golaheadhtivcness, and am in hope it may awaken more energy in the up-town people Now the cheapest and most feasible way, if nOtilrc Only way, to deepen or keep good the’channél, is to place a dam and travel bridge across at South Norwalk. By this means high tide may be kept betwaen the Bridge and South Norwalk at all times. With a lock at the latter place, vessels could lock through whenev r the tide below the dam would adniit. ch a dam may be built at little or no expense to the town, as the New York and New Haven Railroad have proposed to do this at their expense, so they may have a safe and durable railroad track over and above such bridge. But—yes, but. Here our penny-wise mer- chants will object. Now the people down town, east side the harbor, are compelled to come up and cross the bridge at the head of the harbor, to get to South Norwalk. If those have the convenience of such a bridge, they will consequently go there to buy their tape,,tea and tobacco. So that never will do. They cannot see that such improve- ments would tend to build up and extend the town, that is, increase greatly the num- ber of its inhabitants, and, as a necessary consequence, the trade. Simply to clear the channel would be at- tended with considerable expense, and, like the boy‘s nose, would not stay cleared. Such a pond as would be made by the proposed dam, would make a fine water power for mills, and afford a fair supply Of shell and other fish for the town. The oys- ters of natural growth would in a short time make the entire pond so formed one com- plete oyster bed. In the winter season it would be a fine Skating pond; in the summer it would be excellent for sailing and bathing. Bath houses could be cheaply erected. All these things would make this town attractive as a place of resort, for the summer at least, so thdt the apprehended loss to the town would result in increased gain to all. “Keep pegging away,” it may pay.

As said the Urica Herald, “ the sub- ject matter of the lecture was set forth in the choicest flowers of English diction, and made doubly effective by an earnest and forcible delivery.” .-.>.._—__. mg” The New York Tribune of Thursday last contains this story :— “Just think of prosaic Connecticut origi- nating in our day such a romance as the fol- low ing: “ Norwalk is exercised about body-snatch- ers, who, Off Sunday night last, dug up the body of a young lady who had been buried that afternoon, and succeeded beyond their anticipations, She had been buried while in a cataleptic -’fit, and, upon being expcsed lo the night air, animation was restored. The resurrectionisls fled, and she walked home. Her parents refused to admit her, believing her to be a ghost. She then went to the house of a young man to whom she was en- gaged. He took her in, and on Monday morning they were married." W We clip the above from the N. Y; Tribune. It shOuld have been added that in jumping the cemetery gate, the “resurrec- tionisfs” were each impaled through the ab- domen, and found whirling around like It also, on her way home, frightened a span of horses that they ran off the dock, and when last seen were swimming for dear life across the Sound for Long Island! Butiseriously, isn’t it about time that respectable journals should cease giving currency to such absurd and wicked nonsense? <<.>a WThe Norwalk Combination Troupe gave a second performance, on Saturday night last, at Ely’s Hall, SondrNorwalk. . _.___,,_..-.,. IMPORTANT To STOCKHOLDERS IN NA- TIONAL BANKS AND TO Assussous.—An act of the last Legislature made it the duty of cashiers of National Banks, in their returns to the assessors of the towns, to “state the proportion which the now taxable property, held by their respective associations, bears to ' the capital and surplus of said associations.” The explanation of this requirement is, that at-the time the act was passed it was antici- pated that an authoritative decision in re- spect to the liability to State and local taxa- tion of the stock of shareholders in National Banks would be made before the completion of the next assessment list. This question, which has been once decided in the Supreme Court of the State Of New York, afi'lrming the legality of sub-taxation, was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, and is to be argued before the Court this week at Washington. It is believed that the assessors of many of the towns, wrongly construing the act of the last sessionkand deceived by the somewhat positive form of the statement of cashiers as- suming that the act exempted their stocks from taxation, have placed such stock in the lists at a partial value, or when the entire capital of a bank has been returned as in- vested in United States securities, have not placed the stock in the list at all. This im- portant error of assessors should be corrected by the boards of relief, who shall insist in the assessment lists on the full market value of such stocks. It is by law made the duty of boards of relief to correct, by making ad- ditions or otherwise to the assessment lists of the town, and they have power to do so up to the first day of March, when an ab- stract of the lists must be returned to the comptroller. . It is doubtful if the decision of the Sn- preme Court is announced before the first of March. After that time it will be too lale to make additions to the lists, though should the decision of the lower Court be reversed, and the' Court decide that such stock is not taxable, any tax that may be hereafter as- sessed on the stock can legally be abated by the selectmen of the towns—Hartford Press. .<.>. A BEAUTIFUL Dunn—The . Rochester papers notice the death of Mrs. H. E. Roches- ter, sister of Hon. Roswell Hart, member of Congress from that city. On Wednesday evening, Jan. 219t,she attended service in St. Luke’s Church. _While the congregation .were engaged in reading the 7th selection of Psalms, just after the verse “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me,” Mrs. Rochester sank upon the floor, as was supposed in a swoon. Her son, who was standing with her. attempted to raise hound discovered that her spirit had quietly and beautifully passed from the service of God in His earthly temple, to His glorious courts above. Alife of faith and love for many years‘had evinced 'a heart prepared for such a transition—Hartford Char-ant. «.b-o The Senate was not in session Satur- day.

The “ young lady ”, l I opperhonslism on the Soldiers, 1 The Hartford Times makes a ludicrous mistake. In rehearsing the achievmenis of I Go]. Thos. H. C. Kingsbury,‘_its candidate for Comptroller, it takes up the doings of Col. Thos. G. Kingsbury, and represents the for- mer as being “in ”10 face of terrible batter- ics at Port Hudson,” where “one rifle ball struck him in the hip and remains there" and “Another shattered his hand, crumbling up the hours from his wristto his knucklejornls. A Shell tore open the flesh on his back, and the wound is not healed yet. But he press- ed on to within a few yards of the rebel bat- tery, where he received another wound—tins time in the face, the ball passing through his mouth, cutting off his teeth, and carrying away the upper jaw and roof of his mouth.) The simple fact is that the copperhead candidate Was Col. of the 11th for a. short time, but was never under fire in his life! The Press justly comments: “The ignorance of this party organ con- cerning its own candidate is amusing, and the only explanation is that he was a soldier in the nion army. The Times cannot be expected th know much about the personal history of its enemy, which it has fought for four years. . .<.>. THE LAsT MAN.— The PortagoRegister,( Wis) chronicles the death at Caledonia, Wis, on the 27th ult., of Joseph Crele, born near De- troit, Mich., in 1725, and who had attained therefore,the amazing age of Of One Hundred and Forty Years. He was born 7 years before George Washington, and was fifty years old at the outbreak of the American Revolution; so that' he might rven then, have claimed exemption from military service. He was 44 years old at the birth of Napoleon. I. He was 62 years old when the Federal Consti- tution was formed, and 84 when Abraham Lincoln was born. We know but one long- er life than his in ruodern times, that of Parr, the Englishman, who is recorded to have been born in 1483 and to have died in 1635, at the ripe age of 152. Crele’s baptism is said to be on record in the French Catholic Church in Detroit ; so that his age would seem to be duly authenticated. «0».
