Senator Ferry opened the meeting with
the earnest and candid address which we
publish below, and was followed by Senator
Cragiu‘ in a calm and dignified argument,
ustifying the Republican party’s claim to a
continuance in power from the successful
financlnl and governmental policy it had
pursued in the past. His appeals from Mr.
Greeley of twelve months ago to Mr. Greeley
of to-day were exceedingly amusing and
greatly enjoyed by his audience. 7He was
followed by Rev. Mr. Thumas, Who made
an lcarnest,'e10quent and effective speech,
vindicating Gen. Grant from his own per-
sonal knowledge, from the charges Of gross
drunkenness, the. Mr. Thomas was followed
'by Mr. Moran, of Philadelphia, who closed
the meeting withashort and, stirringwad- influential upon our financial policy. -We score.
dress. The band interspersed music through-
out the evening.to the {gratification of all.
The spirit and temper of this, our. first
Republican gathering gave the Democracy
but a discouraging prospect of carrying old
Norwalk in November.
Mr. Ferry spoke substantially as follows :
Fellow Citizens l 1 thank you for the
privilege of presiding over the proceedings of
this evening. I am glad to be able to meet face
to face so many of my old friends rand ac-
quaintances in the place of my residence,
where, for more than a quarter Of a century,
I have been in harmony with the great
majority of my fellow townsmen, upon the
political questions that have agitated the
public mind during that long period. I am
sure that that harmony still exists.
The political field presentsa curious as-
pect at the present time. Durrng the cur-
rent year, three national cortventrons have
been held for the selection of a candidate for
the presidency, and each of the three has re-
sortcd to the ranks of» the Republican party
to obtain its standard-bearer. Each of the
three has adopted a platform afilrming the
principles for which the Republican party
has been contending during the last decade.
And neither of the three has had one word
to say in behalf of the men or the principles
. for which the Democratic party has been
contending during the same period. And,
hence, it would seem at first sight, that the
present controversy in politics could only
be about the two men who have been placed
in nominatibn, though to affirm this would
be very far short of the truth. I allude toit
because it explains why the surface of affairs
E is so foul with slander and personal abuse.
I would speak plainly of this feature of the
canvass. Ihave been utterl shocked by
the baseless libels and reek ess calttmnics
that have disfigured so large a portion of
the political press during the last feW
mOnths. It affords me pleasure to say, as I
believe, that both the candidates are men_
of exemplary private character and habits,
‘ that both have honorably achieved distinc-
tion in their respective spheres of action,
and both have rendered valuable services to
their common country. It is upon public
grounds that we ust decide between them.
The opponents
chine within its lines and select one of its
oldest members to be their candidate for the
presidency. They ought to be able to give
some good reason why he should be pre-
ferred to the candidate presented by the
Republican party'itself. The reasons which
they do give resolve themselves into three,
viz :—The election of Mr. Greeley will be
followed. by amnesty and reconciliation ; it
will stop the prevailing tendencies to cen-
tralization ;' and it will produce political
reform.
The word amnesty is used as a short ex-
pression for the removal of political disabil-
. itics. Ihave labored earnestly to accom-
plish that removal, and it has been practi-
cally accomplished by the legislation of the
last two years. It is now an issue already
decided, not awaiting decision. When Gen.
Grant was inaugurated, there were two
: classes of political disabilities,thc product of
the rebellion. The test oath, prescribed by
the Act of 1862, had the effect to exclude
from any office under the federal govern.-
ment, the great body of the white popula-
; 'tion of the South. About two years a o a
“‘Fann'y Fern," thc'wellfknOWn authoress,
new form -‘~0f oath was provided by aw,
which, requiring only an obligation of future
fidelit ,relieved at once all the incapacities
resulting from the old law. Then the 14th
': Amendment disqualified certain specified
classes of former rebels from holding office.
By a statute, passed at the last session in ac-
cordance with the recommendation of Pres-
;

f the Republican party-
bf our-‘difilciiltics 'ivith Greit Britain than
‘ ver.- And-ellually true is it'aOf Mia-Greeley,
t
fithat, in our}; Spanish relatifihs, he seems to
,:have armedichiefiy to embaflss the Admin-
istration in its efforts to maifitain an honOr
able peace. igThe perpetual‘attcmpts of law-
less men to fit out expeditions from our
shores in aid of the brigands who infest the
‘lntertor of Cuba have required the frequent
interference of the Government to enforce
our own neutrality laws. Mr. Greeley's ex-
pressed sympathies have all alon been with -
the fillrbustcrs and “against the e 'orts made
for their: repression, while he has filled the
columns of the Tribune with invcctives
against Spain, whose Government, at the
very time, has been struggling in the face of
almost insurmountable obstacles to place
that ancient monarchy in the midst of the
tendencies of Christendom toward free
thought and liberal institutions. Had he
been President, during the last three years.
and exhibited in the executive ofllce the
same spirit which be exhibited in the edi-
torial chair, it is impossible to conjecture the
complications which might alread¥ have
ariSen. He has thus shown himscl in the
past as unfit to control the foreign relations
of our country. I,at any rule,am unwilling to
entrustthcm in his hands in the future. We
should never forget that the mission of this
nation, among the nations of the earth is,
Peace. The man who will, thoughtlessly,
or ignorantly, or purposely risk that great
interest is unfit to pessess power in any form.
Once more ; the Executive Department of
the Government has the custody of the
treasury of the United States, and is tnost
need an Administration that will adopt a
policy wise for the government, and bene-
ficcut to the nation, and then adhere to it.
Stability in this matter is essential. The
business interests of the country need kuowl~
edge of what they have to expect from the ,
treasury, and cannot safely be left at
mercy of experiment, vacillation or use -
tainty. I think the polrcy of the pres-
ent secretary, in the main, awise one. I
am sure that, during the three years and a
half, in which it has been in operation, the
industrial interests ofthe country have pros-
pered, and the national burdens have been
extensively relieved. » I am not willing to
ivc over the treasury toa theory, or to ave
rt manipulated upon a philosophical ab-
straction. It is too serious a matter for
experiments. I am content to let well
enough alone..
' But I am trenching upon the tinrc of gen-
tlemen who are to follow me. Indeed, why
should I say more? The conflict is over
already, and the .decisioumade. During
this present ear state eléctions have been
held in New ampshire, Connecticut, Rhodc
Island, North Carolina, Vermont, Maine,
Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska, and their result has demonstrated
that neith the. mind or the heart of the
people ha ever been with the Cincinnati~
altimore nomination. It has demonstrate
also another thing : that the country is pre-
pared to entrust the executive admintstration
of its government to General Grant for four
years longer. ‘
WOW South Norwalk friends are fairly
awake to the subject of good sidewalks.
Along the east side. of Main st from the
Railroad past Dibbles, Lucas,"&c., good flag
walks have been put down, and now the
Congregational Society are following suit
and putting down a first class stone walk.
Dr. Pardee has set a fine granite curbing
preparatory to finishing out the line 'and
when completed it will be an improvement
so substantial and apparent that every one
will rejoice at its consummation. Arrange-
ments are in progress for setting back the
Smith store and contigious buildings and
when that is accomplished, the street
widened at the bend and walks laid down
there, no one “will be found to regret the
long and tedious improvement. A. ' J.
' Crofuts house and Mr. E. Adams d0., are
nearly completed and add substantial at-
tractiveness to the many architectural
adornnrcnts of Norwalk. The new Bank
is being fitted up in rich walnut and plate
glass panel work and when .done will‘he

Fire Department. _
The annual inspection of the Fire Depart~-
ment was held last Wednesday afternoon.
No parade was attempted. A trial of the
steamfire engine was had on the Green,
taking waterfrom a hydrant ; the Phoenix
hand engine was also tried, and worked sat-
isfactorily. ‘The' Hook d5 Ladder company
'placcd ladders against the Town Hall, and
the roof of that ancient structure was cover-
ed with “Pioneers” in short order. A most
interesting trial of the Water Works was
had in the square in front of the Horse
Railway Depot. Hose waslaid in the square

Pennsylvania, always conceded to be the
Keystone State, gave 85,000 majority for
that “ unpopular" Grant man,—Hartranft.
It aso elected 20' Republicans to ConngS,
to 7 Democrats. a gain of seven. ~ Well done,
noble old Pennsylvania.
Ohio, which Greeley, only a. few days be-
fore olcction, claimed would go Democratic,
gave 10,000 tnajOrity. Congressmen, 13 Re-
publican. 7 Democratic. How vash dat for
high ?
Indiana elects a full Republican State tick-
et, except Governor, Hendricks, dem., being
elected by about 1,000 majority. The Rc-
publicans gain over 1,000 from last year.
They also elect nine members of COHEN”!s
to four Democrats, Niblack and Voorhccs,
the shining lights of the Democracy, both
being swamped by the “ tidal wave”, .
Nebraska also went overwhelmingly Re-
publican. '
Verlly, the bottom has fallen out, and the
end is clear to all. p N ow all the Liberal-
Democratic party 'can work for is to avoid
having a Chicago placed at the foot of their
Town ELECHONS.—Thc “combined forces
of the opposition” had a majority of twelve

Two years ago they had 108. In the State
the Republicans held their own, gaining as
many towns as they lost, and the Liberals
missed the victory they strivcd so hard to

Art Progress. ‘
There were two special indications (among
the many novelties exhibited at our late
County Fair) of a growth in the fine arts,
which to us szemcd worthy of more than
the passing notice which. they at that tinie
received. One was the case of colored wax
and wax flower material, exhibited by F.
H. Nash & Bros, and for which materials,
we were,informed, there was a constantly
growing demand by the fair ladies of Nor-
walk. The delicate imitations of nature, in
the counterfeits of flowers there exhibited,
were as wonderful as they were gratifying
to all who have “an eye for beauty,” and
spoke volumes in praise of the artistic head
and bands which wrought them. .-
Ano less marvelous and gratifying ex
hibit of the local advances of art. was the
large display ‘of Photographic pictures
shown by Mr. E. T. Whitney. There were
heads of the living and departed, in exact
cOunterfeits of their originals, and land-
scapes, houses and animals, all true to mf-
ture and combining acollection. which ih'
mere mechanical and artistic excellence, we
do not believe, could be surpassed on this
Continent. We feign no idle pufl‘ery when
we again assert our belief that we have in
Norwalk a photographic artist without it
supe;i0r in America. That he is the peer
of any, is considered by his fellow artists,
and should be a cause of local pride to every
citizen of Norwalk.
He has recently taken pictures of Rev.
Dr. Mead, T. H. Morison, Esq, and other-is
of our prominent citizens,which exhibit the
most' perfect photographic skill and ,lth
nicest appreciation of the latent artistic
points so apt to be omitted even by those
reputed to be first-class artists.

Good Idea.
The Selectmen of Westport have invited
Martin Grace to put in proposals for keep?
ing all the highways of that town, in repair;
for the period of three years. The idea is‘
both sensible and economical, and we wish
such areform might be inaugurated here in.
N orwulk. The feeling is becoming almost
universal among our people, that the taxes
are unnecessarily burdensome. There is ad
doubt, that such an arrangement as is comqf
prehended in the Westport propositicni
would save-us thousands of dollars and that:
we should at the same time have bettetf
reads than we now do. The idea is worthy:
of serious contemplation, and we think,
adoption. .

tendency unduly to concentrate power in
- the general government. .But it is in the
legislative not lhc executive. department
where it has up cared. Congress has been
its seat,not‘thc bite House.’ I think that I
have observed its development, and I have
tried, to the best of my ability, to resist its
progress. It is a natural result of the ex:
traordinary pewers exercised during the
, war. I believe that a healthful reaction has
already begun, and that the federal and state
. governments will henceforth tentl to their
constitutional balance. But the last mode
which I would adopt to accomplish this
desirable result would be to vote for Mr.
;Greeley. The political teachings Of his
Elife exhibit him’as the one American who
holds the most extreme ideas of the ex-
, tent of the nationhl,autlrority in our system
of government. In some remarks of his,
made since his nomination at Cincinnati, he
is reported, in the New York Tribune, as'
professing to belong to the political school
;of Hamilton and DeWitt Clinton, and when
,it is remembered that Hamilton’s plan of
government provided in effect for a federal
jveto upon all state legislation, and exalted
.the national functions to the nearestpossible
approximation to the European systems,we
{may conjecture the amountof resistance that
would be made by Mr. Greeley to the pro-
gress of centralization. .
. The cry for political reform is based upon
‘the charge of political corruption. All the
departments of government are said to be
infected with it. I think that in this matter
there has been the, grossest exaggeration.
Among fifty thousand officials there are,
idoubtless, some bad men. But. in the
stale and municipal governments corruption
has developed itself, without distinction of
party ascendency, to a much greater extent
,than in the general government, And even
in the private corporations of the country
the same symptoms are too often and too
painfully apparent. They are the symptoms
)vhich in all countries have always follow-
ed, for a temporarypcriod,upon great wars.
They infect the community- with a lowered
tone of moral sentiment with regard to the -
methods of acquiring wealth. The remedy
is to restore that moral tone to a healthful
condition: ‘
. By this rapid examination, we find the
reasons given for the support of Mr. Greeley
insufficient. But, on the other hand, there
are positive reasons. against him, which
ought not to be. altogether omitted. I can
nl allude to one or two of them.
. 'lhe foreign policy of our overnment is,
m a great de ree, subject to t to will of the
President. hcn Gen. Grant was ina‘ugu-
rated there might have‘ been reasonable ap-
prehensions as to what his policy would be.
He- was a soldier by profession, and there
-were,in the country,a million of soldiers who
had half forgotten the hardships and dan-
gers of war, while they retained a vivid
memory of its excitement and glory. With
two European powers, Great Britain and
Spain our relations were unsettled and no-
satisfactory. It was a situation in which
war would be easy and perhaps popular.
While patience and effort, and perhaps
are also zenerally very generous, and ch'ccr- odiutn, would be the price of peace. But it
fully-give ”oftheir abundance to their less
forltln’sfie‘ neighbors. ' A certain class of
people librfveVef‘,’ seem to consider stolen

the country, and he turned all the great in-
