Gentlemen, before proceeding further on
business, it is proper, and especially in a con-
vention of the .Iiepublican party, a party
that recognizes the existence of 8 Being who
controls the universe, without whose knowl—
edge not a sparrow falls to the ground, to
look to Him for guidance and direction. I
will, therefore, call upon the Rev. Mr. Crane
to openthis convention with prayer.
Rev. C. B. Crane, of Hartford, then made
~ an appropriate and devout prayer.

vention proceed to an informal ballot for a

At a preliminary caucus held at Senator

Fairfield County should cast its vote solid for
Mr. Averill so long as the ballotings should
indicate a reasonable show of success. The
withdrawal of Northrop by his New Haven

ry’s nomination for the County d.elegate,while
Danbury had not had a delegate since the
first Lincoln Convention. Mr. Ferguson of
Stamford presented the name of Thomas G.
Bitch—law partner of Stewart L.Woodford,
and an esteemed resident of that toWn, but
before the ballot was taken for some unex-
plained reason withdrew his .name and re-
quested the friends of Mr. Ritch to vote for
Mr. Nichols. Senator Street presented the

The committee on resolutions reported the

Resolved, That it is the highest duty of our
government to maintain the integrity of the
Union and to protect to the fullest extent
the rights of the citizen; and we do cordially
approve the determination of Congress to so
guard the interests of the nation in the recon-
struction of the states recently in rebellion,
as to secure permanent Union and enduring
peace on the basis of justice, freedom and
equal rights to every citizen of the Republic.
Resolved, That in all public expenditures,
both state and national, the most rigid econ-
omy should be observed, and that in collect-
ing the necessary revenue to meet the cur-
rent expenses of the government, the indus-
try of the country, engaged in producing sta-
ple and necessary. commodities should, be
left unembarrassed, and all industrial pro-
ducts of prime necessity should as far a prac-
ticable be exempt, and all taxes should be
levied on luxuries and other sources least
burdensome to the people; and all the bur-
dens and taxes, both State and National,
should be so adjusted as to bear equally and
justly on all. '
Resolved, That the national faith pledged
for the redemption of the public debt, must
be kept inviolate, and we denounce repudia-
tion in every form and declare that the na-
tional debt, created to save the nation, must
be fully paid in good faith and according to
its tenor. ,
Resolved, That our government, recogniz-
ing no distinction beween native born and
adopted citizens should demand of other
nations the immediate and uncondition-
al release of all citizens of the United
States, illegally held in military service, or
in custody for pretended polities] offenses,
notcommitted on their soil; and it is the
duty of the government to enforce that de-
mand, if necessary, with all the power of the
nation. '
Resolved, That the thanks of the American
people are due to the Union soldiers who
periled their lives in defence of their country
and in vindication of the honor of its flag;
that the nation owes to them and to the wid-
owcs and orphan children of those who fell
in battle adequate aid and protection, and
that memories of those who have fallen in
its defence shall be held in grateful and ever-
lasting remembrance. .
Resolved, That on behalf of the loyal peo-'
ple of Connecticut, we do hereby present as
our'and their first choice for next President
of the United States, General ULYSSES S.
GRANT. That We recognize in him not.
only the gallant soldier who led our armies
to victory and maintained the Union in its in-
tegrity, but also the wise statesman, true to
the interests of the people, daily trying to re-
duce the public expenditure, more solicitious
for the permanent prosperity of the country
than for personal or party success—while at
the same time he stands pledged by his re-
corded sentiments and historic deeds to se-
cure and maintain on enduring foundations
the principles of the loyal men of the nation
who sustained the government and the honor
of our flag against treason and armed rebel-
lion. " '
Resolved, That we present with pride the
honored name of WM. A. BUCKINGHAM
as our choice for Vice President of the Uni-
ted States, and request our delegates to the
National Convention to make all honorable
effort to secure his nomination.
Resolved, That we present to the loyal peo-
ple of this State our nominee for governor,
Hon. MARSHALL J EWELL, and his asso-
ciates this day nominated, and pledge our-
selves to make such efforts for the success of
our ticket as shall result in their triumphant
election.
The resolutions were passed unanimously,
those portions referring 10 Grant, Bucking-
ham and J cwcll, being received with tre-
mendous cheers.
Mr. Starkweather proposed nine cheers for
Grant and Buckingham and for the statetick-
cf, the members of the convention rising to
their feet and giving them with a will.
Mr. Welch of Hartford, from the commit-
tee appointed to wait upon Mr. Jewell to in-
form him of his nomination for Governorl
l..-
sented the name of Amos S. Treat, Mr. Hoyt .
and request his acceptance-of the same, re-
ported that the committge had performed its
duties, that Mr. Jewell had signified his ac.
ceptance of the nomination, and would ap-
pear before the convention. -
Mr. Jewell then came forward amid loud
applause, and was introduced by the chair-
man, as the rcpublican candidate for Gover-
nor, and in the spirit of prophecy, the next
Governor of Connecticut.
After the applause had subsided, Mr. Jew-
ell said: . .
MR. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN on THE
CONVENTIouz—I am unable to express en-
tirely the feelings and grateful emotions with
which I heard that I had been deemed wor-
thy to be placed upon the State ticket,and to
lead it to victory at the coming Spring elec-
tion. Bttt in accordance with the maxrm
enunciated by the great Captain of our host
—the illustrious soldier whom we propose to
elect our President—-(cheers)—-“the wrll of the
people is the law of the land," and I appear
here to accept this nominationtrankly as you
have presented it to me unanimously. If_ I
have any influence, or any_strength, _all Will
be excrted,to take Connecticut back into the
unbroken rank Of Republican .New England
States—the fold from which it never ought
to have stra ed. (Applause) And With
Grant and uckingham ncxt'Fall, I doubt
not she will return, and remain true to the
principles for which we have fought so lqng
and so hard. (Applause) Again thanking

you have been pleased to tender to me to-day.
The Convention then adjourned amid en-
thusiastic cheers for GRANT, BUCKINGHAM
and J EWELL.

Capt, Duncan’s Lecture.
The lecture of this distinguished navigator,
to be given on Wednesday evening of this
week, already devclops a specral local inter-
‘est. As we understand the discourse, it is a
“plain, unvarnished tale” of the great excur-
sion :of last summer, and will comprise a
narration of the Quaker City Party's visit to
the various European ports, the Crimea, and
Palestine, incidents by sea and land, their re-
ception by Garibaldi, the Emperor and Roy-.
al Family of Russia,their wanderings up and
down the Holy Land and return home.—
Capt. Duncan is a wide awake son of Nep-
tune, with cyes to see and a tongue to tell
what lic‘encounters Rid, is witlial, apolishcd
and most agreeable gentleman, and we are
confident will give us an hour of rare enter-
tainment.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT—We regret to learn
that the public’s old and faithful servant at
the Adams Express oflice, South Norwalk,
George Smith, Esq., met with a most serious
and painful accident last week. He was
lifting a barrel of oysters into a car when
his foot slipped and before regaining himself
he dislocated his ankle joint and broke one
.of the smaller bones of the leg. He is now
housed at home, where we fear he has along
and painful imprisonment before. him, with
little to comfort him save the sympathies of
his hosts of friends. Barring his democracy
(the result of the errors of his early educa-
cation), friend Smith is one of the noblest-
hearted fellows alive, and with the time he is
now sure to have for reflection, we expcctto
see him come out in the spring a Republi-
can convert of the first water. .
~<°~
ANOTHER ACCIDENT—A man named
Prince, at work in Mr. George Keeler’s Ice
House, South Norwalk, recently had a leg
broken by being struck with a cake of ice
sliding down the skids...

WWe learn that Messrs. Mitchel Sr Sher-
wood have purchased the wooden building

nounced as paid for the wooden building is
$3000. Messrs. M. & S. have also purchased
the adjacent corner lot owned by Mr. Buck-
ley.

are not to lose him from among us.

Mr. Stanton in Office.
The Senate took decisive action in the
case of Secretary Stanton, in its executive
session on Monday night. After an exhaus-
tive discussion, in which Mr. Fessenden, or
Maine, made an elaborate speech in defence
of the Secretary and in condemnation of the
President’s course in suspending him, while
Mr. Hendricks,-Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Dixon,
and Mr. Buckalew spoke on the other side,
it was finally determined, by a vote of 35 to
6, that the President‘s reasons were unsatis-
factory, and that Mr. Stanton was still Sec-
retary of War. A copy of the resolutions
were at once furnished to the President, to
Mr. Stanton, and to General Grant ; and ac-
cordingly on Tuesday morning, General
Grant vacated the War Department, and
Mr. Stanton quietly resumed possession of
his office. '
—It is again rbported that Commodore
Vanderbilt is trying to get possession of the
New York and New Haven railroad.
.N. H. Palladium.
W Neighbor Train, who chances to be a
stockholder in the New York .87 New Ha-
ven Railroad, does not seem to keep himself
posted up in regard to the manipulators of
his investments, else he would know that
Vanderbilt has this great New England nio-
nopoly completely under his control now. The
New York & New Haven is as much under
his iron grasp as the Hartford &. Springfield,
or the Harlem, Hudson River or Central of
New York, and if the old Railroad King
lives five years he will rule a through line
front Boston to Chicago. '

State Board of Agriculture.
The State Board of Agriculture held a ses-
sion at Hartford on Tuesday last, the time of
which was mostly occupied in reading the
reports of the delegates from various parts
of the State.
"At 11 a. m., the State Agricultural Society
held a meeting and chose the following offi-
cers for the ensuing ycai' :—
Presidcnt, Hon. E. H. Hyde, Stafford ;
Vice Presidents, Robbins Battell, Norfolk,
H. L. Stewart. Middletown‘; Corresponding
Secretary, T. S. Gold, West Cornwall ; Rc-
cording Secretary, 11. S. Collins, Collinsville;
Treasurer, I". A. Brown, Hartford ;Cliemist,
Prof. S. W. Johnson, New Haven. 1 >
A discussion took place on the question
of inviting the New England Agricultural
Society to hold its next annual 'Fairln Con-
necticut, and it. was decided to leave the
matter with the president and the executive
committee. Hartford made the confession
that she had not the proper grounds and fa-
cilities for such an exhibition, when ex-Presi-
dent Plumb proposed Norwalk and its fine
grounds, which was followed up by Presi-
dent Camp, and it is not impossible that Nor-
walk may be honored by this fall's exhibi-
tion of the New England Society’s show.
Sure we are they will find no more beautiful
and complete grounds or comfortable and
reasonable “entertainment” than here.

VARIOUS Imus—The Japanese troupe
gave two entertainments at Norwalk Hall
last week, both of which were rather poorly
attended, probably owing to the high price
of admission. Their top spinning was tip-
top, and their performance generally very
good, andabove the average of our own
Americantroupes, but they performed none
of the leading feats by which the J aps. crea-
ted such a sensation throughout the country
a short time since. The novelty of a per-
formance conducted in the Japanese fashion
and the earnestness which the performers
displayed in addressing the. audience in the
Japanese language, were not the least amu-
sing features of this oriental entertainnient._

W Last week Monday several young
men from South Norwalk, while gunning in
the woods west of that village, came across
,a dead horse and business wagon. ‘ Officer
Bartram was informed of the affair and took
charge of the property, which proves to have
been the horse and wagon belonging to Mr.

A Fine Machine.
Ballard & Parsons, machinists of this city,
have just completed a very large sized speci-
men of their improved upright drill for ma-
chinists’ use, for Pratt, Whitney do 00., of
this city. This machine introduces some
improvements on their ordinary manufacture
and has won high commendation from ma-
chinists, for excellen f material and work-
manship. In this too , the spindle has no
vertical motion through its brushing, the
traverse being obtained by attaching the
spindle to a moving in a gibbcd head, to
, which motion is applied by hand, or by au‘
tomatic friction feed, which is within easy
- control of the operator. Having geared cones
eight different speeds can be obtained,adapt-
ing it to light drilling or heavy ‘boring.
Every horizontal journal is fitted with the
patent self-oiling box, manufactured by this
firm, thereby dispensing with the necessity
of frequent oiling. The table revolves on
its center, and the arm on which it is placed
turns on the upright column of the machine.
By this arrangement, every point of the table
can be brought under the center of the drill.

he was kicked in the head by a horse, which

Forty eight were admitted into the Con-
gregational Church, on profession of their
faith, the first Sabbath in January. Three
othcfs who were expecting to be admitted
were kept back by sickness. The youngest
of the entire number was twelve, the oldest
eighty-two. Of the forty-eight, eighteen
were males, and seventeen were husbands
and wives. Never before in this ancient
town has there been such an outpouring of
the holy spirit; every true hearted christian
is joyous over what God has wrought. The
wilderness has become a garden. The revi-
val began with the labors of Rev. J. D. Pot-
ter last Oct. The result of these labors has
been good and only good. If any church
would not. like to hear the unadulterated
gospel preached, be awakened from its slum-
bers and see sinners flying to Christ as their
only hope, we advise it not to send for Mr.
Potter. If any church or minister feels tim-
id about employing him, lest more harm
than good will be done, we can say that nev-
or was fear more groundless. Z. B. BURR.

Almost all other makers have hitherto failed
