diation frowned down; the national credit
sustained under most extraordinary burdens.
and new bonds negotiated at lower rates.
The revenues have been carefully collected
and honestly applied. Despite the annual
large reductions of the rates of taxation, tht

ubli‘c'debt‘has been reduced during Gen.

rant’s presidency at the rate of one hun
dred million oollars a year. A great finan
cial'pri‘sis has been-.avoided and peace and
plenty 'p'revailthrou bout the land. Mena-
cing foreign difficult es have been peaceful]:

- :and honerablyrcompromised, and the honor

and power of the nation kept in high rcspec.
. throughout:the7world; This glorious 1'80"“,
of the past is the party’s best pledge for tht
_ . future... We believe the people will not on
fiber the government to any party or com-
bination of men composed chiefly of thosi

who have resisted every step of this benefi-..

cent progress. 7 , .
.Second. Complete liberty and ,exact
l‘cquality in the enjoyment of all eiVll, politi-

* cal‘and public rights, should be established
and effectually maintained throughout the

. Union byzeflicient and appropriate state and
‘. federal legislation. Neither the law nor its

administration should admit of‘any dis-

crimination in' respect of citizens by reason
of race, creed..color or previous condition of
sci-ritude. . 1 _; » ‘ . -

'Thll‘di The‘ .recent amendments to the
National Constitution should be cordially
sustained *bccause they are right and not
, merely tolerated : because they are law and
Ishould be carried out according to their

spirit byapprOpriate legislation, the enforce- ,

ment'of which can be safely trusted only'to
the party that secured those amendments.
Fourth. The National Government should
seek to maintain an honorable peace with
all. nations, protecting .its citizens. every-
where,~and' ’symp'athizin‘g ’with all? people
who strive for greater'liberty. ‘ .
- Flltil: Any system of the c'gil service un-
der which'thc subordinate positions of the
government are ,considered' rewards for
mere party zeal is fatally demoralizing, and
we therefore. favor a reformer the system by
laws which shall abolish the evils of patron-
age and make honesty, efiicienCy and'fideli:

~ty the essential qualifications for-pnblic'

po‘sition, practically creating a life tenure of

o co. . ' .

Sixth. We are opposed to further grants
of that public lands to corporations and

.monopolics, and demand, that the national

domain be set apart for free homes for the
people. - ~

Seventh. The annual revenues alter pay-
ing the current debts should furnish a mod-
erate balance for the reduction of the princi-
pal, and the revenue except so much as may
be derived ifi'om a tax on tobacco and

» liquors, be raised by duties upon importa-
tions, the duties of which should be so ad:
justed as to aid in securing remunerativc
wages to labor and promote the industries,
growth and prosperity of "the whole/country.

' Eighth, We hold in undying honor the
soldiers and sailors whose valor saved the
Union. Their pensions are a sacred debt of
the nation, and the widows and orpans of
those who died for their country are entitled
to the care of a generous and grateful peo-
ple. We favor such additional legislation

‘ as will extend the bounty of the government

to all our soldiers and sailors who were
honorably discharged, and who, in'the line
of duty, becamcdisabled, without regard to
the length of 1 service or the cause of such
discharge. ' '

Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and

other , European powers concerning alle-

giance, “once a subject,»always a subject,”
. having at last, through the efforts of the re-
.publican party, been abandoned, anti the
American idea of the individual’s right to
transfer his allegiance having been accepted
by European nations, it. is the duty of our
government to guard with zealous care the
3 rights ofadopted citizens against the assump-
tion of unauthorized claims by their former
governments, and we urge the continued and
careful encouragement and protection of
'voluntary immigration.

Tenth. , The franking privilege ought to
be abolishedhnd the. way prepared for a-
speedy reduction in‘ the rate of postage.

Eleventh. trAmong' the” questions which
press for attention is that which concerns
the relations of capital'and‘labor, and the
republican party recognize the duty of so
shaping legislation as to secure full protec-
tion: and the amplest fieldfor capital and
for labor, the creator of capital; the largest
opportunities and just share of the mutual

-_ profits of these two great servants of civili-
zation.‘ ~ ' - - -

, Twelfth. We hold that-Congress and the
Presrdent haire only fulfilled an imperative

. duty intheir'measur'es for the suppression
of violent and treasonablc organizations in
certain lately rebellious regions and for the

' protectibn of the ballot hex, and therefore
they are entitled to the thanks of the nation.

Thirteenth. We denounce the repudiation
or the'public debt in any form‘ or disguise as
a national crime ; we witness with pride the
reduction of the principal of the debt and of
the rates of interest upon the balance, and
confidently expect that our excellent nation-
al currency will be perfected by a speedy
resumption of specie payment.

, - Fourteenth. The republican party‘ is
7 mindful ‘of its obligations to the loyal women
of America for their noble . devotion to the
cause of freedom. Their admission to wider
fields of usefulness is received with satisiac-~
titfl, and the honest demands of any class‘
i of citizens ‘for additional rights should be
treatedwith respectful consideration.
Fifteenth. We‘heart'ily approve the action
of Cung'ressinextending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the growth
of peace ‘and fraternal feeling throughout
the land. ,
. Sixteenth. The republican party propose
to respect the rights reserved by the people

. to themselves. as carefully as the powers
delegated .by them to the State and to the
Federal government. It disapproves of the
resort to constitutional laws for the purpose
_of1'emoving.cvils by interference with the
rights not surrendered -by the people to
either State or national government.

Seventeenth. It is the duty of the general
government to adopt such measures as will
tend to encourage American commerce and

shipbuilding. . »
, Eighteenth. We believe that the modest
patriotism, the. earnest purpose, the sound
. judgment, the practical wisdom, the incor-
ruptible integrity and the illustrious ser-
vices of Ulysses S. Grant have commended
him to the heart of the American people,
.md'with» him at our head we start to-day
' upon a new march to victov.

Vice President Colfax sent a telegram to
colonel John W. Foster, chairman of the
Indiana State Committee, as 'soon as he

in which he said ; “Accept for. yourself and

gallant contest. I support the ticket cheer-
fully. Men are nothing; principles every-‘
thing; Nothing ‘must arrest. republican

.triumphs until equality under the law, like
the liberty from which it springs is *uniVera
sally acknowledged, and the citizenship ‘Of
the humblest of our millions becomes 'as’-
sure protection against outrage and wrong
as was Roman citizenship of old.”

At a large meeting of the citizens of Nor-
walk held at the Norwalk Hotel, on Wed-
nesday evening, it was resolved to appro-
priatel y commemorate our N ational Anni-
versary of Independence, and also the com-
'pletion of our. public water works aml intro‘
duction of the aqueous fluid into the borOugh'

A- general. committee of arrangements,
composed of . some of our best and most
active citizens, was appointed to carry, out
the yote, and they, at a full meeting on Fri-
day evening, appointed the various sub-com-
mittees on subscriptions,invitations, music,
orator, fire works, &c.,&c. The class and
,character of those interesting themselves,
give assurance that theundertaking will be

creditable to the town, and worthy the occa-
sions sought to be thus imposingly com-
memorated. , - . _

The general plan suggestedand practical-

ly agreed upon,~contemplates an old fash:
ioned Fourth of July celebration. A nation-,
:11 salute and ringing of , bells at sunrise ; a
procession, consisting of A our own and in-
vited the companies and military companies
from abroad, citizens, societies, schools, die. ;
an oration under 1; canvass pavilion on
Union Park; an old fashioned Independence
day dinner" for all who desire ; toasts,
speeches, &c., befitting the occasion; sun-~
down guns, and a brilliant-display ‘of fire
works upon the Church Green.

» As this is tohethoroughly and emphati-
cally a “cold water” celebration, we suggest
the fitness of our several temperance organ-
izations availing themselves of, the .fitting
occasion, to invite all. sister societies of at
least our own county, to be present and par-
ticipate in the grand popular demonstration.

As the occasion is to be one of rare sig-
nificance and importance in‘the history of
old N orwalk—fliq grand local event of an
age of wonders—we heartily invite the
scores and hundreds of old Norwalk’s
'children, from all parts of the national do-
main, to return to their Childhood’s home
and honor us by their presence. ' .
We feel sure our citizens will cheerfully
and liberally respond to' . the canvassers for
the agedt‘ul funds to render this, in every
respect, successful and creditable.

_ All hail the nation’s birthday.

W The South Norwalk Independent has
at last succumbed 'to the inevitable fate
wnich must soon or late overtake every
newspaper enterprise launched upon any
community when" it is not needed. How
it lasted so long must be a marvel to all who
do not know the untiring industry and rare
economy of its manager. Had one-quarter
the physical labor been expended on acor-
ner peanut stand, forty times the net profit
wouldno doubt have accrued. It did not
live, not because there was weakness or un-
thrift in its management, for it had a local
zest and style original and sensational and
all its own, which secured it a certain de-
gree of patronage. Its cost of production
was shaved to the very bone. Probably no
paper in Connecticut is issued at less than
ten-fold its cost of production. But it died
because there is no legitimate field for more
than one live newspaper in NorWalk. We
have lived to witness the blasting of the
hopes ofjust thirteen similar experiments
herein Not-walk. We certainly have never
suffered by any‘such 'competition, and We
know we do notentertainany mean-s irited
feelings of envy or ?je’alousy toward such
enterprises. A long-experience;has taught
usgthat ago: and a certain amount of popula-
tion and business are requisite for the support
of a newspaper, and we have only regret tor
those who are sure to waste their time and
sink their. capital in any such undertaking
‘here, where there is not a living patronage
for two papers. The old GAZETTE, .with its
career of seventy-two years, has always had

 

 

 

' a patronage in local and foreign advertising

far beyond most-provincial weekly papers,
and yet, with all our painstaking and anx—
ious, exhausting labor to make it worthy of
our town and worthy of the generous sup-
port accorded it,.we do not believe there is
a merchant in Norwalk, with half our' in-
vested capital, who would ,be satisfied with
double our net profits. j With the exception
of a very. few of thejlargcr journals in our
great cities, such a thing, as .a fortune being
made out Of .a newspaper; is unknown,while
thousands upon .thousand’s'fi of dollars are

' .yearly sunk uporfihesc newspaper ventures.

Mr. Arnold goes to Long Island, we believe,
to there start a paper, under auspices more
encouraging than any he could reasonably
hope “for here. :He certainly hasbur best
wishes for his success, yet we cannot help
entertaining the convictionthat ev'cn with
all the flattering promises of material aid
and support held out tohim. he‘ would be
richer in purse and fresher in muscle and;
brain at the year’s end, WCLEABC to abandon"
proprietorship and m'anfully resume. his old
and honorable position as compositor at the
case, and yet for his {sake we hope to be
mistaken. . "

EDITORIAL LETTER .

 

 

PHILADELPHIA, J one 7, 1872.

The Quaker City never does things by
halves. There is a. wealth and generosity
always exhibited here by her foremost citi-
zens, on all public occasions, witnessed in
noother city in'thc world. The outfit and
decorations of the Academy of Music for the
great Republican Convention' and .Ratifica4
tion meeting, were of the most imposing
character and could not have'cost her local
committee less than fifty thousand dollars,

Not less than twenty thousand yards of
hunting floated from cords extending across
Broad street from the apex of Union League.
Building, the Academy "and Agricultural
Hall. V ‘ ' '

The enthusiasm was as great and hearty
as could have been expected, where the first
place on the ticket to be nominated had
been already fixed and settled in the public
mind. The policy of a change was discuss-
ed and duly considered, it is true, and many
delegates from our own State were free to
express the conviction that a. new ticket
throughout would be the surest means of de-
feating all opposition. 'But calmer and
more prudent heads believed a change at
this late day would be a confession of weak-"
uess,—-—a retreat in the face of the enemy.
Probably Mr." Lincoln’s story of swapping
horses in the middle of the stream was never
’so many times repeated, as when the drop-
ping of Grant was .suggésted.- But the
clinching fact whidi precluded all argu-_
ment, was that more than a majority of the
Convention would be compelled to_‘vote for'
Grant under instructions. So that ended
and frustrated all hopes of a change on the
part- of any “sorebcads.” ,

- The preliminaries having been settled and
a call of states made, Gen. Grant was rc-_
nominated warm: a. cameraman I

The, bands hereupon burst forth in stirring
peals of music, and the vast concourseof
delegates and auditors cheered as lustily as
was possible, with all circulation of fresh
air, arrested by the interminable folds and
festoons of flags and banners covering every
outside aperture, and with a thousand gas
jets brilliantly burning to supply the light of
day so artistically excluded, and with the
thermometer ranging at a hundred. Such a
dissolving mass of _ palpitating, perspiring
humanity, with coats off, vests, shirts and
‘neckties loosened, and all in the extatic
throes of a common‘exultation, were never
witnessed before.

Then followed the inevitable speeches for
and in behalf of the several candidates for
Vice President, the partialties of whose eon-
.stituents had made the presentation of their
names aformal necessity. It had earlybe-
come apparent that Colfax was to find a
serious if not fatal competitor in Henry
Wilson. There were‘vario’us reasons 'ven
justifying. a change, chiefamong whicbas
Mr. Cblfax’s letter, of 'two years ago, per-
emptorily declaring he could not again be 'a
candidate for any office. The assertion was
also freely made by the friends of Wilson,
that the Vice President did, at that time,
urge. him to have his (Wilson’s) name go be-
fore the people as his successor. But these
arguments were 'urged only as a means to
an end. It was widely felt that whatever of
damage Gen. Grant had or might sustain
from the hostility of Mr. Sumner, would
thus be averted. That Mr. Wilson would

 

great masses of working men of the country
through his well knownsympathy and anil-
iation with the Labor Reform movements of
the day. And that no man would be so

Likely to keep the colored men of the south

om being carried of to the support of the
Trauma Philosopher. "The “press gang,"
with singular unanimity and pertinacity ad-
vocated aud urged, in all possible ways, the
change, and it is not claiming too much for
them to say that it was unquestionably due
to their influence that Mr. Wilson was nom-
inated. _

When the first ballot indicated his success
by one note over all competitors, there was it
demonstration of the most hearty and loyal
enthusiasm. This was tinged only by the
chagrin and sincere sorrow of the earnest
friends of Mr. Colfax, which in the case of
his own Indiana delegation was truly affect-
mg. , » -
The platform of principles enunciated is
such as to commend itself to every true citi-
zen of the Republic. Witha ticket com-
posed of a tanner and a shoemaker, we can-
not see why the popular labor sympathies
now un‘itedly aroused may not be captivated
by the humble and truly American charac~
teristics of our candidates. The record of
the past four years of Republican rule must
justify future confidence in Gen. Grant’s ad'-
ministration of the financial and busineSs in-
terests of the nation, while Mr. Wilson's
anti-slavery record is as long and faithful as
any man’s ;-his true statesmanship, as well
recognized ; his personal character as blame-
less. No wonder that the opposition see in
him a. most formidable adversary.~

And may the right win, and truth, and
sobriety, and patriotism rule the nation.

Well, there! It“. poor Sandy? specialty
‘and heroics havn’t been'invaded by staid
and conservative “ Uncle Gould." ~ He» of
the long-time temperance grocery, we mean.
It was because of his native affinity for wa-
ter that “it was did," and this is “ the how
of it.” Be it known,then, that next to the‘
neat and expeditious doing up of retail pack-
ages of teas, spices and sugars. Uncle Gould
prides himself upon his dextcrous flanage-
ment'of a sail boat. Born and bred hard
by the aqueous and bripy fluid, his 'youth
was largely devoted to maritime practice
and sports; His riper manhood and later
days even, have oft found solace iu swaying
' the .tilleii, laying the ropes and reefing the
snowy sail. _ Soit was last week,——elate with

king a boon companiOn he easayed a smok-
ing sail down our shining bay; but the
treacherous winds, in an unguarded moment,
veered around and sent his shivering craft
careeningmoer! Here was appalling dan-
ger, but‘ that was light compared to the
stain upon his nautical reputation! Suffice
it,‘ that when the 'boat went over our hero

in a most active and energetic manner to
perform those antics and gyrations which
have so justlymade the name and fame of
"‘ Sandy" immoiTal. And but for the time--
1y presence of a boat hard"by, Uncle Gould
fivould‘. soon»? have 'become a literal “ stifi‘
cold water man,” and instead of ourrecord-
ing this “goak” at his expense we should have
had used obituary to 5wu'te. ‘ Asit is we
can only urge,that should he again sail forth
on the treacherous bosom of the deepgthat
he either take a ’life preserver or Sandy’s
“feet,” which have so many times proved
their superiority over all other species of
buoys. The statement that it was “Brother
Wm.R. Nash,"'who Was involved in the
immersion should be corrected. It was his
business partner, Mr. Ives. William is not
to be caught in any boat capsizes, so long as
old sorrel lives and inspires his “ lat-co, m-
ot, HI-CA l ” by a three minute pace through
the town. ,- ‘ ~ " _,

Last Friday, at Van Hoosear &'Ambler’s
Dry Goods Store, customers were noticed
present, at one time, from six different towns
in Connecticut, and from Lewisboroe,

tent of Norwalk trade.

The regatta at Cedar Point, Westport, to-
day, promises to be a pleasant affair, and
will undoubtedly be. largely attended.

And may their shadow never be less.

The foundations for the new chapel, (here-

be held in the Third M. E. Churcb,'iat Five

Thursday evenings of this week.

Next week- Monday evening,;—the anni-
versary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Phot-
ni-x Hose Company will hold \their annual
“Jubilee” at Lockwood’s Hall, and if they
do not rival the Boston think in noise they
will, at least, furnish a pleasing entertain-
ment to all who favor them with their pat-
ronage. John Starr is to furnish music for
the “Hop.” , »

Next week Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, at'the Opera House, the Second
M. E. Sunday School Festival takes place.
This annual entertainment has become an
almost indispensable local “ institution,”
and will'be largely patronized by all denom-
inations. A children's concert, followed by
a social rcunibn and plenty of tempting re-
freshments, will be leading features as here-
tofore. ' . .

The ‘ladies .of the East Avenue M. E.
Church,—new candidates for popular favor,
—-announce a Floral and'Strawbery Festival
for the evenings at J tine 20th and 213:. They
expect to give a pleasing entertainment and
hope tor generous patron gc.

 

THE Flirt—The ladies of our several
churches have united, to hold a fair for the
benefit of the Zenana Mission, which will be
given atLockwood’s Hall next week Tues-
day and Wednesday evenings. Whenever
thc ladies take'hold of anything of this kind
they do it with a will, and with a determin-
ation to succeed, and now that the ladies of
difi‘erent den, 'nations have united forces
we may expec. an entertainment of more
Then usual merit‘and'interest.

 

.TnEAm.+—Manager Myers'is to bring a
new company , here this week from the St,
James Theatre, Boston, and will produce
the plays of2 “Don Caesar” and “Arm-na-
Pogue,” at the Opera House, on Wednesday -
and Thursday evenings..Mi-. Edward Brink,
a character actor, whom Mr. Myers has as-
sociated with himself in_ the management,
will sustain the leading parts. The “War-
ren Sisters,” strangers here but who are

 

actresses of rare. merit, will also appear.
Mr. Myers is 'well known 'in this vicinity,

companies. See adv. and bills.

The Amateur dramatic performance at the
Opera House, last Thursday evening, was
largely attended and passed off very pleas-
autly. The actors were well up in their
parts, and showed much less agitation and
5 timidity than usual at such entertainments;
the audience was thoroughly good natured
and evidently. enjoyed the entertainment
mére than they anticipated doing. As the
plays were acted entirely by non-profession-
als criticism would be out of place, and as
all did better than could have been expected
from their limited training we refrain fr '
mentioning names or any special favorites.
The Westport Cornet Band furnished music,
and a lady sang two songs between the
plays. T. W. Bolas, formerly with Mar-
ston’s dramatic troupe, acted as stage mana-
ger, and. sang one of his irresistible Dutch
songs. 'The expenses of the 'entertainment
were large: but were fully met by the re-
ceipts and a “trifle' over." The success of
the entertainment has much encouriiged the
members, ,and the; formation of a dramatic
association is proposed.

' fl
I The Sunday-School Celebration.

The second anniversary of the South Nor-
walk Sabbath School Teachers’ Association

the Court of Burgesses. In making this as-
sessment it became absolutely necessary to-
know the record title to the property assess-
ed and the boundaries thereof. These things
the Court directed me to ascertain. It was
also necessary that the vote of assessment
should be carefully prepared. That also is
my work. So much has been done by me
and nothing more. I have not said one word
as to the extent of territory the assessment
should cover, or how much a single indi-
vidual should be called on to pay, or
whether an particular person should pay
(rhyming. y duty is fulfilled in recordin
the votes of the Court and in serving sue
notices and doing such things as I am
directed to do. Be it understood that-I know
about where the line of my qflicz'dl duty rum
and do not overstcp it nor intend to stop
short of it. it has become quite too much
the fashion, for some time past, to put on my
shoulders what belongs elsewhere- to im-
pute to me everything done which docsnot
happen to suit some, particular individual.
I am sick of it, and decidedly too unassum-
ing to consent to be a pack horse for every-
body’s woes. The several members of the
Court of Burgesses are quite able and entire-
ly willing to bear their own responsibilities.
