CONNECTICUT "BLUE Ia VS.
IS Advertisements

The following sheets contain an exact copy
Of the constitution, or form Of civil govern
ment, as adopted by the towns of Windsor
Hartford and Wethersfeld, and the code O
1850, as confirmed by the General Court o.
Connecticut. These are both taken from the
original records remaining in the office of the
Secretary of the State. Much time and ac-
curacy were required to obtain an exact copy,
on account of the photography, and particu-
larly for the reason, that the record, in some
parts, was nearly obliterated, and in others,
totally gone. Other parts of the record, there
fore, have been reorsted to, and the copy rem
dered complete. The ancient photography has
been accurately preserved. t
This small volume is offered to the public,
without apology or comment; nor does the
publisher deem it necessary TO detail the rea-
sons which induced him to undertake the
publication. Only, suffice it to say, that the
first revision of the early laws of Connecti-
cut, was never before printed. Prior to the
revision of 1872, which was printed in 1875,
the laws and orders of the General Court,
were promulgated only by manuscript copies.
They were recorded in the public records Of
the court, and also in the town records, and
it was made the duty of the constables of
the several towns, to publish such laws as
should be made from time to time, and, an
nuaIly to read the capital laws at some pub
lie meeting.
To this code may be traced the origin of
almost all our sivil and religious institutions.

customs, manners, and civil and religious
opinions The laws are few and simple, yet
they were such as the exigences Of the COM

SUMMERS RETURN TO THE SENArE.-Ac-

SUMMERS RETURN TO THE SENATE.-Ac-
cording to the Boston Courier, Mr.. Senator
Sumner is wholly indebted to the occurrence
of the Brooks assault for his return to the
Senate. "Does not every body know" it
asks, "that until this outrageous assault was
made upon him, and the sympathies of the
country were touched by his prostration un-
der its effects, he had scarcely the shadow of
chance of ever seeing the Senate againG
Does not every body know that had there
been no beating and no bludgeon in the case,
his violent and ill-judged philippe would have
proved only an additional cause of his defeat?
That speech, at the outset, disgusted the ma
jority Of the good men of New England.
Even some of Mr.. Summers closest allies,
near him in the Senate and at distance,
condemned it. But the assault followed so
hard upon its publication, that there was no
time for these opinions to be expressed or
matured; and, after Mr.. Sumner was knock
ed down in the Senate chamber, general
amnesty was at once declared or understood,
for all that he had said or done. Now, these
are the facts in regard to Mr.. Summers cleo
ton; and all the plausible and grandiloquent
epistles he has written, or may write, can not
change them in the least, or deceive anybody
who is not resolved to be deceived" Beyond
all question the Courier is entirely right in
its facts and conclusions. And the damage
of the Brooks assault did not stop with the
new strength it gave Mr.. Sumner in Massa-
chusetts, resulting in his reelection it gave
new strength to black republicanism every
where. 1t had about as much to do with the
immense Fremont majorities in Northern
States as had the unfortunate management
of affairs in Kansas.
