My dear sir, any party that cangmn u tun-
porary ascendancy by such atrocious means
not only poisons the body politic of a free and
impartial government, but is also saw to
bring swift destruction upon Itself. And so
' lI uld be. . . .
n I :m unaccustomed to polIficaI life, and
know but little of the manner 0f conducting
a cam ign like the present. I believe, how-
ever, it is customary for. the State Central
Committee to assess candidates In order that
they shall defray’a proper portion of the ex-
pense incurred for speakers and documents
to enlighten the voters upon the political _Is-
sues of the day. To thatextent, I am writ-
ing and anxious to be taxed ; for light and
knowledge are always desired by the friends
of human rights and of public order.‘ .
But I trust that all money used for any
other purposes in the pending election wi .
come from the kets ofth_ose who now (as
during the robe lion) are doin their utmost
to aid traitors and who, stil unrepenting,
are vindictive y striving to accom lish atthe
ballot box what their southern It lies failed
to accomplish on the field of battle. If_any of
our friends misapprehend my true sentiments
upon the subject of bribery, corruption and
fraud. I hope you will read them this let-
ter. Truly yours, P. T. BARNUM.
P. S—The follo’wiu is the law of Con-
necticut on bribery o electors;
Sec. 64. No person shall offer or receive
any money, or other thing, by way of gift,
fee or reWard, for gi 'ng or refusing to give,
a vote for electing members of the General
Assembly, or any officer chosen at an
electors' meeting, nor promise, or In any way
confer, any gratuity, reward, or prefermeni,
for any vote given or to be gIVeii, in any
election; and every person guilty of so do-
ing shall forfeit the sum of $17, one half to
him who shall prosecute to effect, and the
other half to the treasury of the town where
the offense is committed ; and every person
who shall be convicteda second time of a
like ofi‘ense shall be disfranchised."
That section commends itself to the obe-
dience of every law-abiding voter, and I shall
be the last to consent to its violation.

NOTICE.
An adjourned meeting of the Republicans cf Nor-
walk, will be held at the Editorial Rooms of the GA-
ZE‘M‘E, on W ednesdsy evening, 7th inst, at 7 1-3
o‘clock, for the purpose of completing the organiza-
tion of a Cannon 'Cnun. ‘
Our. Congressman.
The enem are inventing all sorts of fabri-
cations with a v ew of essening the majority
of our Mr. Barnum. One of them is to the
‘efi'ect that in his private life instead of being
the man of that princely benevolence general.
ly accorded, he is grasping and selfish and il-
liberal with the poor. In two :nstances
where these fabrications have been traced to
any responsible source. as at Bridgeport last
week, Mr. Barnum has procured affidavits
from the parties who aver that so far from
his oppresaing, he has been their most un-
stinted benefactor. If we had been in Mr.
Barnum’s position, we should not have
stopped to nail such a pitiful slander to the
counter, but other friends think differently
and so the lie as to oppressing the poor is kill-
ed. Now that the enemy has introduced the
subject, we will mention a simple incident
mentidnedjo us many years ago by Cmms
Isaac‘s, Esq., wherein the natural goodness
of _ heart of P. T.- Barnuin, was portrayed in
its. normal~qnality. Our friend. Mr. Isaacs,
knew of an aged, respectable gentleman in
an adjoining town who was borne down with
pliverty and the weight of years. Upon his
little homestead rested a mortgage of
only five hundred dollars, and yet it was a
constant cause of anxiety and grief to the
aged man. Meeting Mr. Barnum one day
he told him the story of the poor old man’s
grief, and how happy a fellow mortal might
be made by the lifting of that mortgage. No
sooner told than a check was given for the
lull amount and when next our friendmet
the hoary pilgrim, his eyes were filled 'with-
a joy his choking words could not express.-
and that old man went down to his grave
blaming the name of his unexpected benefac-
tor mem T. Bananas, now candidate for
the sufirages oi the' poor man, the working
men and all loyal men, in this District. We
do not know that Mr. Barnum will thank us
for the publication of this incident, neither
have we Mr. Isaecs’s permission for the use
of his name, but being an act of generosity
the world was never expected to know, and
made, long before the great showman was
thought ofor lied about, as a candidate for
Congress, we feel justified in speaking of it
and refer all for further particulars and for
names of parties to Mr. leases, for we pro-
sume Mr. Barnum, has forgotten all about it
long ago. ' ' ., , ‘
No, gentlemen, the temperance habits, the
benevolent purposes, the business sagacity
and public-spirited enterprise, will commend
our Mr. Barnum to the support of all good
men and true patriots. Push on the column.

us one of their superb Concerts on Thurs-
day Eveniu'g next. They have added to their
troupe the splendid Comic Basso, Signor S.

success at the Steinway Hall Concerts, in N.

Stage for that of the Concert room, be com-
mands one of the finest voices, now in Amer-
ican combined with a fine manly appearance.
On this occasion he will sing, in addition to
his unapprochable Comic Songs from the
best operas, several English Ballads, besides
two elegant Duets with, the charming Queen
of song—Madam Varian. This Lady, as we
all know from her first appearance in Nor-
walk, never fails to captivate her audience,
and we notice on the programme several of
her best and most happy efforts. Of the Pi-_
anist, Mr. Hoffman, it is useless to speak; he
certainly, for popular Concert playing, excels
any pianist now before the public, and on
this occasion he is to play several new pieces;

llIEssrts. EDITORS :~—While a guest at the
“Stamford liouso,"t he other day,so frequent
were snoers and contemptuous remarks
thrown out. by its landlord against Norwalk
and the people of'Nm-wulk, thatI was led to
wonder, whether it was not his purpose to
drive from his hotel everybody who should
chance to appproacli it front the direction of
our Village. There were several gentlemen
from Norwalk, and his remarks were cvi-
dently purposely made to be overheard by
them—remarks a Gentleman would not have
made In the hearing of his guests,-——this fact
alone, thwarting the intended insult--as gross,
as bitter and deliberate. Those who don’t
enjoy such peculiar “entertainment” will dis-
pose themselves accordingly. DELEGATE.
We should decline all notice of the above
sons, with many repetitions of a similar
style of abuse of our town’s people, from the
same source, and from others in Stamford,
“who are old enough and big enough, and
ought to know better.” Pray what has Nor-
walk done ? Our beautiful and thriving sis-
ter town of Stamford certainly can have no
just cause of envy or spite of Norwalk, or of
Norwalk people. Yet the childish gibber-
ish is freely indulged that f‘Norwalk gobbles
..everything from a Brigadier and Judge,
down to sheriff and. state senator,”—un’til'it
has become sufficiently offensive to lead to
the serious inquiry whether our pugnacious
neighbors should not look to the glass in
their own house before shying stones at’ us.
To sum up, we have a Judge, but we dis-
tinctly remember that certain citizens of
Stamford rejoiced thereat,if they did not'aid
in its procurement, on account of the better
field for legal gleanings—a surrender of Dr.
Butler’s large practice was expected to yield.
The next favor, conferred was a Colonelcy
to Mr. Ferry. But at our own suggestion of
the nam'e'of Gov; Minor for a similar posi-
tion, we _chance to know that a commission
was urged upon him. Col. Ferry afterwards
won his way up to’a-Brigadier's commission.
Had Governor Minor accepted, and his life
been sp with all his advantages of mili-
tary knowledge previously acquired, there
can be little doubt he would have nobly won
and honored a Major General’s double stars.
Last, Spring Norwalk‘ bade-candidate for
Sheriff nominated, not because he chanced
ness. Here, where he was best known, he
ran largely ahead of his ticket. Similar sup-
port - from Stamford would have given the
county a Union instead of a copper sheriff.
It is but a few years since that a citizen of
Stamford was named for the 2 same office, in
a Convention held at South N orwalk. His
acknowledged fitness for the place and emi-
nent deserving at the hands of his political
friends, led Norwalk delegates to drop one of
their own citizens who desired the nomina-
tion, and to give such efficient aid as to re-
sult in the success of ALBERT SEELEY as
candidate for sheriff. In the election which
followed, Norwalk supported him by a ma-
jorityof 168,while Stamford gave her own
justly honored and deserving son but 58

Filled it to the honor of them-
selves, the satisfaction of the Government
and the delight of every citizen of Norwalk.
During the same period, another most able,
deserving and worthy citizen of Stamford
has filled the most desirable of_ all the civil
offices in the gift of the general government;
hosts of old friends and supporters of HoN-
TRmIAN-SMITE, here in'_ Norwalk, have but
one regret and that is that he had not. been
serving with former faithfulness and efficient
ed as Judge of a court that never had a case.
At. another time, a citizen of Stamford, sought
and obtained the position of Collector of In-
ternal Revenue for the 4th Congressional
District. That he failed to retain it, was
quite as honestly and far more generally re-
gretted by the citizens of Norwalk,»than by
those of his OWn locality and were he or his
disturbed friend, the “landlord," candidates
for elective ofies this Spring, we can assure
him that Norwalk would give them double
the majority they could possibly get at home.
Now comes our last offence, the nomination
of WM. 0. STREET for State Senator. No
man could be more eminently fit, or would
put himself so far out of the way to aid any
interest or constituents in his District while
his nomination was really due to the partial-A
ities of other towns rather than the, support
he receivedjrom his .home delegates.
But in all seriousness and candor, friends,
'how weak and unworthy is all this local jeal-
ousy, envy. and ill-tempered bickering.
‘When shall we rise abbve the paltry folly of
locality, in selecting our candidates for office,
and rely only upon fitness and our ability/w
elect. The accident of birth, or the chance of
residence should never enter the balance
when great issues demand the best men.
Look at Hartford, she has her U. S. Senator,
a Cabinet Minister, an Assistant Secretary
and Chief Clerk of the Navy Department, a
Governor, a Congressman, a 'State Senator,
a J udge—but recently too—a District Attor-
ney, Clerk. of Court, and for many years
sheriff ; and yet no one thinks of 'getting the
cholic about it, and we point our unhappy
Stamford friends, with the best possible good
nature, upward to the “head of sloopnavi-
gation." ‘ , ,
Let us assure our neighbor that she has no
ever hercitizens are in nomination, Norwalk‘
will, inthe futurcpas she alwaysfhas in the
past, sustain them by the biggest majority of '
any town in Fairfield county. And whenev-
er her local banks iefuse her citizens needed
discounts, Norwitlk will supply them the
"greenbacks"_ as well, and all with fraternal
regard and our best good nature. '

President for the first time by the people,
and with the view of assisting them, as far
as practicable, out of their financial embar-
rassment; the result of the protracted war
with Spain, and the revolution against Baez,
so soon after. The congratulations were
very cordial, and voluntarybfi'ers were made
by each, which will, without doubt, lead to
some negotiations to theirmntnal advantage.

Our distinguished visitors were much in-

ies, and which will ever be interesting to
those 'who revere the memory of Columbus,
as the first home of his in the ,New World,
and the scene of his highest hopes, and of
his trials and persecutions. I went with
them to the top of the great Cathedral, the
oldest and tholargest in Amercia. It was
commenced, in 1514 and finished in 1540, and
is 300 f'éet'long by 100 bread. _It is in a re-
markable, state of preservation, although
nothing has ever been done to it except an
occasional cleaning and decorating of the in-
side. It had a very narrow escape in 1809,
when a largebomb thrown from an English
fleet, while bombardingthe city, embeded it-
self over one 0'! the grained arches, and
there remains in full sight, as they are fearful
of disturbing thearcli if removed. If it had
exploded‘it would probably have shattered
the whole roof so much that it would all
have fallen from its immense weight, and re-
mained a mass of ruins like twenty-six other
churcheswithin the walls of the city. The
roof is arched with solid masonry, and the
outer covering large heavy bricks. This
building, too, will always be reverenced for
having so long been ‘the' depository ot the
remains of the great Discoverer; and al-
though their removal Was affected with so
much pomp and ceremony, it reflects no
credit upon Spain; and seems little less than
sacrilege alter reposing there from 1536 to
1795.
One of the chief amusements of this, like
allother Spanish American countries, is cock-
fighting, the season for which is from about
Christmas time to the month of May. The
afternoon of every Sunday and every holi-
day is devoted to it, and all attend, (from the
President down,) that the amphitheatre will

have occasionally looked in 'upon them a

which averages about,3.3 4'pouuds when in

to the head, and all the feathers sheared off
the neck, and the larger feathers from the
breast and front part of the back. The wings
and tall are also reduced. The last act of
preparation is‘ scraping the spurs to a point

In accordance with the call in our last, a
meeting was held in the Gazette editorial

Hon. F. ST. JouN Locxwoon was called to

with a Constitution, presented by Mr. Wm.

Vetoes of no account.
On Saturday. night, Congress passed over
acting President J ohnson‘s Veto, the Recon-
struction Bill, by a vote in the Senate of 384
to 10 and in theoiiouse of 135 to 47; they
‘ also again passed the Tenure of Ofllce Bill,
which he had also vetoed, by a vote of Sen-
.‘atefii'r to 11, House 131 to 37. So now these
two important measures become apart of
the laws of our land. In the Senate, Foster
of Conn. voted against President Johnson,
and Dixon to sustain, in both instances; in
I the House the Conn. delegation voted unani-
mously each time to override the veto.

An Effectual Worm Medicine.
BROWN’S VBRMIPUGE COMPITS,
OR Womr LozENcss. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adults, attributed to other causes
is occasioned by worms. The “ VERMIFUGE' Cozu-
FITS," although effectual in destroying worms. can
do no possible injury . to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.
CniLnREN HAVING Worms require Immediate at-
tention, as neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Srurrons or Worms IN CHILDREN are often over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use of
a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown‘s “ Vermi/‘zlge Com/Its“ is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.

SCHENCK’S MANDRAKB PILL.
A Certain Cure for Diseased Liver and the
many Dangerous illalmlt'es whzch are caused
by a mm bill condition. of that organ.
TO give the public a clear understanding of the
mode in which SCHENCK‘S Mandrake Pills
produce those wonderful effects which are attested by
thousands of reliable witnesses, we present a. brief
DESCRIPTION OF THE HUMAN LIVER
and its functions. which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptible to every man‘sin-
derstanding.
The liver is sup‘ licd with blood vessels, nerves
andabsorbants. no of its obvious uses is to se-
crete and prepare the bile. It likewise filters the
blood and separates that fluid from all impurities.
How indispensably necessary to health is the proper
performance of this function I If the liver is discus-
cd, it cannot purify the blood, and if that is sent
back through the lungs, brain and other parts in a
morbid condition, it must cause jaundice, bilious-
ness, obstruction of the kidneys. "revel, and many
other complaints more or less pain iii and dangerous
but the least of them quite enough to make a. man
sick and uncomfortable, and unfit for the perform-
ance Many of the duties of life. This unhealthy state
of the system very often ends in pulmonary con-
sumption.
' The circulation of the blood is conducted in this
manner -- The heart sends the vital current down
through the arteries 5 it passes through the flesh fa-
king iip all impurities in its progress; then the
stream of blood flows backward through the veins,
and passes to the liver to be purified. It is impossi-
ble to cure consumption, scrofula, or scarcely any
other kind of ulceration while that important or an,
the liver, is diseased. It is for that reason that ‘ reg-
ular physicians" rarely cure consumption. They
usually begin their treatment with the use of some
cough medicine, the basis of which is morphin or
opium in some shape, which locks up the liver in-
stend of relaxing the secretions, giving a tone to the
stomach, and producing a healthy flow of bile. Dr.
Schenck’s
Pnlmouic Syrup, Seaweed 7om’c,anrl Man-
drake Pills
will strengthen the system purify the blood, and ri-
pen and heal ulcers on the lll‘lgS.
Avolumc would be required, to give a brief ac-
count of the remarkable cures performed by Dr.
Schenck’s medicines, viz. Pnlmouic Syrup. Seaweed
Tome, and Mandrake Pills-Jail of which are ac-
compariied byIfull directions for the Ilse Oi’theiu.
