'Rcsolvcd, That for more tbzi‘orty years
the Democratic party has, hill in victory
and defeat, made the rcquireynts of the
slave power the measure of itsitriotism.
To pimp and pander for slayy, to come
and go at its nod with the eility of a
spaniel, to hunt for if as the pkall hunts
for the lion, and rejoice in the Sues and en-
trails contcmptuously left as itbare of the

reward. For this it has elevtd its small,
mean men to the Presidencjturned the
free States into a hunting 'grdid for fugi-
tive slaves; and finally venttd on open
treason and red-handed rebcll . The sub-

clusion with the Democrat tiefs, on the

tatiously gave public pledgei‘nevcr to vote

that regiments marching toput down the
rebelliOn should pass only ‘iver their dead
bodies ;" while that “cminenchmocrat and
statesman," Horatio Seymou, advised, as a
remedy for national trouble, the adoption
of the Montgomery Consiiftion.
Resolved, That throughut the war, the
Democratic party of the Noth did all in its
power, in Congress and out bf it, to destroy
the credit of the governmeii, to prevent en-
listments in the wasting r sof Our armies,
to chiél and dcpres; the h rts of the loyal
people, and by assailing the Administration
in violent, seditious and relolutionary la'ng-
uage, to weakcn‘its hand and inspire the
rebel councils and armies/with confidence
ofsuccess; thus prolonging the struggle for
national existence, wast‘pg the lives of
thousands of our heroes, depleting the Tree-
sury and largely increasifg the public debt.
Resolved, That to the pomprehension of
every intelligent and tlinking man, the
whining over the public lebt and taxation,
so perseveringly maintainfzd by Democratic
orators and oracles, is without parallel in
partisan impudence and} hypocrisy; and
that until the people forgtt that to the apos-
tacy of the Democratic palty and to the trea-
son of its Davises, Toombs; Masons and Wig-
f‘alls of the South, aided and abetted by the
Seymours, Pcndletons, and Pierces of the
North, we owe the laid tcriiblc conflict;
will they forget that. the Democratic party
is solely responsible for every dollar ex-
pended, am] every dollarpf taxation, which,
for yours to come, must icsl- heavily on the
industry and capital of its country?
the volume of currency new in circulation,
involved in the Democratic proposition to
pay the public debt in “greenbacks,” would
render it practically worthless, raise to ex-
orbitant values all the necessaries of life, de-
fraud the laborer of his earnings, bankrupt
savings, trust, life insurance and other insti-
tutions, gvliose investments are largely or
wholly in government bonds—thereby im-
poverishing thousands Of widows and or-
phans,~and wresting from the poor man his
provision against infirmity, age or death.
Not only these, but national discredit and
disgrace would follow. and the government
he left utterly powerless to defend either its
‘ honor or its territory.
Resolved, That the people of the United
States have no possible use for any champion
Resolved, That the encrmous increase Of
shamelessly boast that, out of his ample
means, he did not lend a dollar to the gov-
ernment in its extmncst need, or for any
one who proposes to involve’tbe govern;
mom in another war for the “lost. cause,”
and, therefore, for the I'eiimimler of' their
natural lives, propose to consign Horatio
Seymour and Francis P. Blair to thcl‘shadcs
of private life" and the inexorable verdictof
history. '
Resolved, That the Republican party, in
presenting to the people the names of Ulysg
ses S. Grant and Schuyler Colfax as their
candidates ml the Presidency and Vice-
Presidency of the United States, have no
occasion to enter upon any eulogium of their
services to the cause Of impartial freedom
and human rights. Their record is before
the world, and proudly challenges alike its
criticism and itsudmimiion. '
Resolved, That invoking the intelligence,
the love of liberty, and the patriotic spirit
'of the people, we “propose to move imme-
diately on the enemy’s works."
.And Still They Come.
The Hon. Donald J. Warner, of Salisbury
one of the delegates chosen by the Demo-
cratic State convention to represent the par-
ty in the New York convention, has come
out for Grant and Colfax. He made an ad-
dress before the Grant Club of Cornivall on
the 13th, giving his reasons for leavinghis
old associates. Of his connection with the
democracy he said:
He cast his first vote for Polk in 1844. He
then allied himself to the democratic party
becauseit was a liberal party. At that time
the franchise was restricted by it property
qualification; the democratic party wished
it extended, and they were right. That
question is now again before the people, and
his views were democratic still; he did not
wish to see the elective franchise given to
the disloynl southern white, and denicd'to
the loyal southern black. There is no shield
like the ballot; if is hot the strong but the
weak who need its protection. Moreover,
although our government- might be strong
enough to be generous to its enemies, no
government was strong enough to be ungen-
erous to its friends! Whenever old demo,-
craiic associationsmrged that he had desert-
ed the democratic principles,‘his answer was
ready and conclusive; the patriotism, libcr-‘
silly, and honesty that were the distinguish-
ing characteristics of the chi'ersonian and
Jacksonian democracy is to be found, not in
platform of Seymour and Blair, but in the
)laiform of Grant and Colfax.
Concerning his own personal record, the
9
before thewar he had yielded to the south,»
hoping to preserve peace. He had held with
Douglas, that the people of the territories
should decide the question Of slavery for
themselves. Uudci’that doctrine the south
would have gained nothing—have bad no
pretext for rebellion. IItncc it was that the
south preferred the election of Lincoln to
Douglas in 1860. He had said, when Lin-
coln was elected, that he would support him.
He had done so. SO bad thousands of dem-
ocrats. Without them the war never would
have been successful. Someof these identi-
fied themselves with the Union party. Some
of them continued to act with the Old organi-
zation. He was one of these. He did not vote
for Thomas II. Seymour in 1863, but did
support McClellan iu‘1804, believing him to
be a war man._ Just after the New Haven
convention, said Dr. Warner, “I received a
letter from a democratic friend, saying, ‘you
will be surprised at your appointment as a
delegate to the New York convention ;’ and
he then gave a history of the convention
that appointed me, showing how difficult it
-was to procure the appointment Of a man
with (Dnservative views. Ireplied, thank-
ing him for his efforts in my behalf, but said
that I probably should not attend, as from
present indications it was scarcely possible.
that the convention would nominate a man
I could support in preference to General
Grant—there werevcry few such in the na-
tion. In fact, had I attended the convention
I should have felt like moving the nomina-
tion of General Grant by acclamation."
Regarding the democratic nominees, Mr.
-Wasncr said: “ There are three classes of
democrats: lst, The out spoken peace men.
These have always led the party, controlled
its conventions, edited -its journals and run
its party machinery. Bold anduucomprbm-
ising, they now Oppose ‘rccoustruclion’ from
the some motives, and with the some argu-
ments, that they opposed ‘coercion.’
SccOnd, is that vacilloting class which
sometimes supported the war, and sometimes
cried for peace. Chief of these has always
been Governor Horatio Seymour. As a
public man his course has not been of that
firm, consistent kind that we need in it Pres.
idcnt of the United States. He wants the
spinal column. I would engage to convict
him of moral weakness before it jury of
twelve intelligent Cornwall democrats (pro-
vided he was not their candidate for the
Presidency.) In 18621-110 cry fora more vig-
orous prosecution of the war made him gov-
ernor of N cw York. In 1863 I found him
making speeches in this state in favor Of
Thomas II. Seymour, who denounced the
war from first to lost. This seemed to me
like a change of from. His conduct in re-
peatedly declining the nominuliOn and final—
ly accepting it, indicates the character of the
man. The public proceedings of the con-
vention show that after delcaring that he
could not in honor accept the nomination,
he wanted the firmness to maintain that
honor. The secret history of that "conven-
tion, as disclosed by Colonel Brown in his
Frpnkf‘orl speech, shows that not only was
Governor Seymour pledged, to the friends of
Mr. Chase. but that he was to have delivered
a set speech putting the chief justice in nom-
ination on the very morning he yielded
to the pressure brought to bear on him by
Vullaudigham and the friends of Pendleton,
I do not charge him with duplicity ; but he
is one of those pliant, facile' men who looks
one way and ride the other, who is far too
weak ever to resist the pressure Of‘revolu-
tionisfs who now control the democratic
party—the Vallandighums, Hamptons and
Blairs. Before the sitting of the convention,
I said repeatedly that Horatio Seymour
would be the democratic nominee. .For
once I proved o 11".“) prOphet.
The third class of democrats were those
who at all times and under all circumstances
had sustained our soldiers in the field. To
this class I have always belonged, and I
consider it my duty and theirs in the present
crisis to support General Grant. In no other
way can we bring about that permanent
settlement and lasting peace which the coun-
try needs above all things.”

Grant as it ltatcsmnn. »
The recently published life of Grant by
Charles A. Dunn and Gen. Wilson, h-idun
able .und'intercsfing passage on the civic
ability of Grant, which is worthy the after.-
iion Of all, and especially of flméc who con-
tend that, although :1 military genius, sfill
irani is not a statesman. Vt’c give below
some cxfracis‘: -
The advocates ofihc contrary theory will
in proof Of'ilicir assertion, cite the fact that
Grant has never hold civil offices of trust
and influence; that he. has never been a
member of a legislative body, nor the Gov-
ernor ofa State, or represented his country
at foreign courts, nor conducted diplomatic
correspondence, nor been accustomed in ad-
dress popular assemblies on public quosiiOns
nor even mingled in politics. All this must
be admitted; Grant has never been till-Office-
holder,nor an-Ofiice-seckcr,uor a partisan pol-
itician. Hobos issued orders for the govern-
' in ent of millions ofmcn through y ears of peril,
bathehas-never delivercdft speech inCongress
nor shone as it stump orator. He has plan-
ned campaigns, proclaimed traces, received
the capitulution of cities, and negotiated the
terms of surrender of an armed Confederacy,
but he has never waited in the presence
chamber of Kings, nor wear-led the patience
of Ambassadors with vapid diplomatic dis-
patches: His genius has been invoked to
save-a republic of. forty millioiis (if: people
in war, and his "wisdom to reconstruct a
' Shattered Union of thirty-seven States in’
peace, but he has never sent an annual mes-
sage to a Legislature or to a Common Coun-
cil of a. city. ,
Those who would measure the extent of
one's abilities as a statesman by the number
of Offices he has held, should remember that
Washington, Franklin, Knox, Hamilton,
Jackson, Taylor and Lincoln, but] never had
much Official training or experience of any
sort in civil affairs, and especially in legisla-
tion, till they were called to discharge the,
highest civil trusts. Knox and Hamilton
went almost direct from the camp into the
Cabinet of Washington; Lincoln had only
served it single term in the lower branch of
Congress when he was summoned to the
Executive Mansion ; and Taylor cast his first
vote at the polls of the election when he
himself was a successful candidate for the
Presidency. Though enthusiastic parties
called Washington, Jay, Madison, Monroe,
Wirf‘, Tompkins, Jackson, Calhoun, and
Taylor, and bore them into office, they were
never, in the popular acceptance of the term,
politicians; they never breathed the fetid air
of the caucus; they never addressed politi-
of making him free; that the. ernment, speakers said that in the political contests cal meetings, but their countrymen, testing
their character and achievements by no such
narrow standard, have ranked them among
the great statesmen of the times.
The writer then speaks of the education
of Grant at West Point, the mental discipline
of whose studies is superior to- that of most
of our colleges, and where, in addition to
this, the student is thoroughly instructed in
Political Economy, fhe. Federalt Constitu-
tion, and the general science of civic govern-
ment. As far as early education is concern-
ed Grant is thus Shown to be better fitted for
President, titan are the graduates of most Of
our colleges. .The writer continues:
It is the misfortune of distinguished infli-
tary Chieftains, that their achievements in
the field so attract and dazzle the eye, that
observers are wont to overlook their loss
brilliant but oftentimes equally valuable
services in dealing with political matters of
a quasi civil nature. Viewed in this aspect,
Grant’s position is not unlike that of Wei—
lington, whom, it may be remarked, be
somewhat resembles in the salient points of
his character. The political aid rendered by
Wellington to the cause of the allies during
the five years he commanded in the Spanish
Peninsula, was as important as his military
campaigns. ,
Though the British Cabinet kn that-
throughout these five years much of his time
and patience were spent in healing the strife
of political factions, regulating the adminis—
tratiOu Of j usiice, counselling with the feeble
and impracticable Ministers of Portugal,
and dictating :1 policy to the proud and im-
placable grandees Of Spain, it was not till
long afterward that these facts became
known to even his well-informed fellow-
subjecis, whohad only recognized him on
that theatre of exploits as the hero of Vi-
meira, Tulavera and Vittoria, just us the
masses of our citizens, not aware of Grant’s
civil services during the past five years,
only know him as the conqueror at Don-
elsou, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and the
Appomattox.
manner and speech; up! to give dry, curt
answers to those who would pry into his
thoughts; accustomed to state the conclu-
sions at which he has arrived without dc-
tailing the mental processes through which
he reached them ;- thoroughly digesting
plans in his own mind ere he announces
them to others; accurate in his estimate of
character, so that in selecting his subor-
dinates and coadjutors, he intuitively puts
“the right mania the right place ;” with a
cool and impassivc exterior, through which,
however, there occasionally bursts a glowing
phrase, hot from the heart, that becomes a
talisman, like, “I shall fight it 'Out on this
line if it takes all summor”—uu echo Of the
slogan at Waterloo, “Up guards, and at
them !” ~
As a proof of Grant‘s skill in statesman-
sbip, a striking illustration of it is found in
the happy manner in which he disentanglcd
the meshes wherein Gen. Sherman had be-
come involved in the terms of surrender he
proposed to Gen. Johnston, in April, 1864.
Destituic of accurate information, because
of his isolation in the heart of the enemy’s
country, the terms be had tendered did not
comport with the wishes of the government.
These terms were promptly disuvowed and
countcrmundcd by the civil authorities at
Washington. Deeming himself rudely treat-
ed, his pride was wounded, his warm blood
was inflamed, and the hero of “the grand
march to the sea” was in a state. of extreme
irritation. In this unpleasant condition,
Grant was desputchcd to North Citrolina to
settle the matter. After mutual explana-
tions and a thorough survey Of the field of
controversy, the high-spirited victor prompt-
ly yielded to the views Of his calm and
modest commander. The friendship of
Grant and Sherman, so dissimilar in every
prominent fruit Of" their characters—a friend-
ship tested by rare vicissitudes Of fortune,
and growing stronger with every trial—is
one Of” the most luff-resting of its kind which
the war, so fruitfuliu striking incidents, has
brought furih.
In the three years that have transpired
since the war iei‘lninatcd, Grant as Coni-
iiiunder—iii-Chici‘, and for five months as
Secretary Of'VVai', has been required to deal
constantly with civil matters of the most
rare, complex and dangerous character,
deeply affecting not the South only, but the
.eatire country. In the discharge of his
duties he has never forgotten that he was a
citizen as well as a soldier, and has wielded
his vast powers rather as a civil magistrate
than as a military commander. The nature
of these services is understood. Their ex-
tent and value can hardly be overestimated.
his acts bear testimony to the zeal, iirbmiity,
ccuied his responsible trusts.

militarydiroblcms that will demand solu-
tion in the immediate future, it cannot be
doubted that the cmploymeuts and ex-
periences of Grant,tliroughtlie seven years
wherein these grand events were passing
across ,the stage of history, have more
thoroughly prepared him for wisely and safe-
ly guiding the nation, than could twenty
years spent in the ordinary routine of civil
:o'liccs of even the highest grades. _
Standing at the close of the eventful epoch
we have been surveying, we ni‘e‘d not hesi-
tate f0 affirm, that to play the part in this
great drama which Grunt has performed,
has required talents of a very different kind,
if not Of a higher grade, than those which
produce the more soldier, however illus-
trious. His enlightened counsels, the actual
services lie-rendered in regard to civil, so-
'cial, legal and financial matters of .unprc-
cedcutcd character and transcendent in:-
poriancc, affecting the interest of large popu-
lations and the destinies of powerful States,
prove first he possesses abilities and attain-
ments that entitle him to a place among the
wise and prudent statesmen of the country.
The New Election Law. .
We give the following synopsis Of the nzw
election law, embracing its leading and im—
portant fen turns : I
ELEO'rons ENTITLED TO REGISTRATION.
1..‘liose who have been duly admitted
electors in the town where they reside.
2. Those who have heretofore been duly
admitted asivoters in the town where they
reside, on certificate from another town,
and have the necessary qualification of
residence. ,
Ifow THEY MUST BE REGISTERED.
1. It is the duty Of the registrars to place
their names on the first registry list, which
must be prepared at least three weeks be-
fore the election.
2. In the preparation of this first registry
list it is the duty Of the registrars 10 hold
sessions on Friday and Saturday of the
fourth week preceding the election, from 9
a. m. to 5 p. m., and give due notice thereof.
At these sessions any elector may applyyto
have his name placed on such list. _
3. This first list must be completed and
lodged in the town clerk’s office at least
three weeks before the election, and shall
at all times be Open to public inspection.
[Within the next twelve days after the
completion of the first list, the registrars
must hold four sessions for the revision and
correction of~1he list (notice of which ses-
sion must be given in said list, and also by
a publication in a newspaper in the town,
or by posting on the sign-post, at least three
days before the first day of such sessions).
At any of these sessions any elector may
apply for the addition of his mid Danie, 'or-
the name of any other elector, which has
been improperly omitted ”from the list,
But before doing so, it is necessary that . he
shall file with each of the registrars, at least
forty-eight hours before the time of their
holding Of suidscssions, a notice subscrib‘cd
by him, stating the reasons thereof. The
consent of both registrars is necessary to
make the addition. The name of any elec-
tor may may bezstrickeu from the list at
any of these sessions, on application of any
other elector, by pursuing the same course ; .
but no name shall be erased from said list,
unless written notice shall have been left at
the registered place Of residence Of the per-
son challenged, or personal notice given to
him zit least twenty-four hours before the
session. The consent of both registrars is
necessary to retain the sumo]
4. In case any elector is aggrieved-by the
action of any registrar, at the aforesaid
meetings, he can appeal to the sclecfmcn ‘
and town clerk, on giving notice to such
registrar of his intention so to do, and they
can erase or retain the name, {is they think
proper. The board for the purpose Of hear-
ing such appeals must be in session on Mon-
day and Tuesday of the week before cloc-
tiou, from 9 a. m. to 5 p. In. The statute
requires the testimony of at least one other
elector, as to the qualifications Of the person
in dispute.
HOW PERSONS MUST BE MADE ELECTORS.
f
1. Every person who desires to be made
an elector of this State should, before the
completion of the first registry list (which
should be completed at least three weeks
before election), leave with the registrars a
notice of his claim to be made an elector,
subscribed by himself or some other elector
of the town, and stating his full name,
his residence by street and number,
it, his birth place, the date of his arrival
or other description sufficient to identify

3. Having filed his claim as above men-
tioned, he must apply to the Board of Se-
lectmen for admission as an elector.
The first meeting Of the board for this
purpose must be held on Monday of the
second week before the election. They can
hold other meetings during that week, as
may be necessary, but not after that week,
except for cases where the right to be ad-
mitted has not before matured. These meet-
ings are only to be held between the hours
of 9 :1. m. and 5 p. m.
4. In case the applicant for admission is a
naturalized citizen, he must present his na-
turalization paper to the board, Willi proof
that lie is the person to whom it was issued.
5. It will be soon, then, that all those who
lire already electors 'lla‘u'st have their name
placed on the first list, if possible; if not,
! sanguine Loss cause M'Med 1
It is sometimes alleged that the Repub-
lican motors and papers dwelltoo much
upon old isaues in this campaign, while the
1 election is to be decided upon new ones.
Hui what is (be paramount issue of the can-
vn" ', and who misc-d it? It is whether the
cause 10.31 in the field shall be regained at
the polls. Arid this question is forced upon
the country by the Democratic party, under
the control of those who frankly- declare
that the cause Of the rebellion is not lost.
inevitably, therefore, the characters and
careers of those who hope to Obtain pos-
session of the Government become the im-
portant subjects of consideration.
i If the Democratic party had said that, ac- -
,quicscing in the results of the war, and ac-
gcepting the reconstruction of the Union by
Congress as a settled fact, it would make the
best of it, and asked'power upon the promise
of greater economy, and of taking no step
except in the most legal and peaceful man-
;ncr, and had then nominated men whose
gnomes and words were at vindication of its
lsi’uccrity, the canvass would necessarily
have been conducted very differently.
But what are the facts ? The strongest
Candidate in the Convention was Mr. Pen-
dleton, an original secessionist and ‘repudh
:iior. ‘Mi‘. lrnllaudighdmf‘jhis' lieutenant,
one of the most notoriously'disloyal men in
fithenou'ptry, put Mr. Pendleton’s scheme of
ublic dishonor into the resolutions. He and
llis chief Opposed? the-waryandhoped the re-
bellion would succeed. ., "But"? it fitiled, and
the next service they could do for the late
rebels was to refuse to pay the cost of sub-
duing them. This is the financial policy of
the party. Should it prevail the country is
disgraced by those who tried in vain to
destroy it. And of the effort at destruction
'Pendlcton and Vallandighum are as guilty
as Forhntt and Howell Cobb—each having
worked in his own way.
What next ‘? Wade Hampton, one of the
bitteresl of the late rebels, stops at Gen.
Lee‘s college on his way to the Convention
and says the cause is not lost. He comes
into the Convention; is appointed upon the
Committee of Resolutions; introduces a de-
claration that the reconstruction laws are
unconstitutional, revolutionary and "void,
and the other members pledge themselves
to support ibe'declaration to the end. _The
Convention then nominates for President an
- opponent of the war, who said that the suc-
cess of the Government would be as revolu-
tionary as that of the rebellion, and for
Vice-President an ex-Union soldier, not be-
cause of that fact, but because he had just
vehemently demanded that the Executive,
without even consulting Congress or the
Supreme Court, should by force overthrow
the reconstructed governments in the South-.
era States. The Convention thus absolutely "
cont-oiled by the most resolute rebels and
the m'ost l‘eciflessrepudiators adjourns. The
Southern States are instantly aflame with
the speeches of the most violent of the rebel
chief's, who cannot restrain the expression of
their intense hatred for the political organ- ‘
ization of loyal men that conducted the war
to a successful end, and which has founded
recanstruction upon equal rights. They ex-
ultiugly affirm that the election of Seymour
and Blair will giye them thesuccess v'rhieh
they missed in 01:5, field. Raphael Semmes,"
Forrest, John F'orsyth, Albert Pike—the
most malignant enemies of the Union and of
equal rights, assert either that they still hate'
the Union, or that the rebellion was a de-
fense of the Constitution. Valiandigham is
nominated for Congress, PendletOn is the
chosen hero of the canvass. The party pal-
pers that ventured to hope before the
Convention met that the party had learned
something are kicked into obedience, and
pour upon Gen. Grant a torrent of indecent
personal abuse; and grave orators, like-Mr.
Pugh, denounce reconstruction as an “out-
rage" to be “upset” by Democrats, and “if it
means war, let it come.”
Now, in view ofan issue of a violent over-
throw Of the laws by an Executive elected
by those who were lately in open rebellion, .
and who still glory in it, what can any
sane citizen do but address himself directly '
to the facts? His first duty is to showjhat
this issue is the rebellion under a new face ;
that the Democratic talk about taxation is
merely an appeal to one of the most sensi-
tive public feelings as a means of Obtaining
power, not for the purpose of diminishing
taxes by increasing production, and so
making payment easy, but by repudiating
them altogether and mining the national
credit. His duty is to Show, further, that this
power is sought not to pacify the country,
but to restore the late rebels to the control
of the Southern Statcs,.and to disable the
loyal population there. In a word, it is his
most urgent duty to show that the whole
Democratic policy is to undo, as far as pos-
sible, everything that the war has done, and
to restore the intolerable state of affairs be-
fore the war began.
And this is what the Republican party, by
its orators and papers, is everywhere show—
ing. They state incontrovertibly that we
must. first determine whether the reconstruc-
tion decreed by those who won in the War
shall stand before we consider what the
next stop shall be. In a free country, when
a party enters upon a canvass with the
declaration that, if successful, it will set
aside the most vital and comprehensive laws
by force, it raises a simple issue of civil war;
and those who permit themselves to be di-
'vertcd to minor issues, and do not see that
this involves all other questions of interest
and “pocket,” are, however honestly, the
Bourboiis who learn nothing, and the Ante-
diluvians who didn’t believe therewas going
to be much of‘u shower. After the ex-
perience we have had no one is justified in
being deceived—Harper’s Weekly.

MARK TWAIN m HARTFORD. — Mark
Twain, the humorous writer—so humorous
that he went to California to get rid of a
scrofulous affection—writes, in a recent let-
ter to the Chicago Republican, as follows :—
I have been about ten days in Hartford,
and shall return there before long. I think it,
must be the handsomest city in the Union,
in summer. It is the moneyed centre of the
State, and one of its capitals, also,.for Con-
necticut is so law abiding, and so addicted
to law, that there is not room enough in one
city to manufacture all the articles they
need. Hartford is the place where the in.
surancc companies all live. They use sonic
of the houses for dwellings. The others... 3
for insurancevofliees. So it is easy to s.’
that there is quite at spirit of speculative er.-
tcrprisc there. Many of the inhabitants
have retired from business, but tbé' others
labor along in the old customary way,. as
the presidsnis of the insurance companies.
It is said that a citizen went westfrom there
once, to be gone a week. He was gone
three. A friend said:
“What kept you so long? You must have
enjo ed yourself.” .
‘ if, and that dela ed
it.
that they must take the menus provided by
law as aforesaid :
‘ That those wishing to become electors
must likewise have their names plum-d on
the listuuder the head “to be made ;" and, if
not on that list, first they cannot be 111::th
