MIDDLETowN, CoSN. Dec. 20, 1859.
Now and then | exhibit to your readers
sample Of my style" and just as often,
too, give them a little Eastern gossip A
while ago-somc months-I held up to
them rough picture, portraying The scenes
connected with the reception of Gov
Seymore, on his arrival at his native city,
Hartford. Since then much of an impor-
tant character has transpired within the
boundaries of these thirty-four States The
intelligent people of Van Buren, have been
informed of all such occurrences through
the medium of the Pass, and they have
not been the losers by Slocum not having
paid them any attention of late.
But the most startling event OF all, and
one which aroused the blood of patriots in
all sections Of the Union, was the attempt
at insurrection at Harper Ferry by JoHS
BnowN and his deluded followers The
incidents of that foray are known to all the
reading people of the country, and need
not be detailed at this hour but the feeling
of indignation entertained by the CON
servative men of the North towards that
party which sustained the leader of that
foray in all his Kansas butcheries, and in
all his cndeavors to keep alive revolution in
that Territory, will not easily be calmed -
Our existence as powerful Republic has
been too much endangered a stigma of dis
grace has been too nearly fastened upon the
people of the New England States. by that
party and its tools in Kansas and Virginia,
for us to forget the ones who have brought
SO near the danger and who came so near to
us that we were almost overshadowed bv
their deep blackness The Union Meet
ings which have been recently and are
now being. held in this and neighboring
States show Enthusiastically that, though
Black Republicanism has occupied for few
years past an exceedingly strong position
in the Eastern States, the conscrservativeele-
mcnt is once more to rear its head. and have a
voice again in our counsels. The Union fos
teringprinciplcs oftheDemocratic of party have
always been upheld by an earnest and en-
erGetic body Of men, in Connecticut but
they have been too frequently in the minoli.
tv. The Democracy of Connecticut are not
open to any assaults upon their patriotism
and love of the Union. 1t was only last
week that meetings expressive of abhorrence
of the principles upon which JOHN Brown
acted, and discountenancing the dissemIna-
ton of Abolition sentiments among our
people, were held in Hartford and New
Haven. a large majority of the electors
in both these cities-the capitols of our
State-signed the calls on which the meet
ings were convened. In Hartford Gov.
Seymour presided at the meeting. He al
SO, with other men of talent, addressed the
large number of people who attended, all
giving voice to patriotic and commendable
sentiments. At the gathering in New
Haven, one of the older citizens (whose
name have forgotten) presided. and the
people were addressed by Hon. r. l. NIGER
SOIL, and several other gentlemen of that
city. Both those meetings were largely at
tended, and not only by Democrats, but by

men who have { perhaps blindly J acted
heretofore with the Republican party. The
Republican papers in both cities did all in
their power to discourage members of their
party from lending their aid to this meeting
but without much success. That Republi-

olitionism, is, most truly believe, on the
wane in this Commonwealth and another

would not let my partizan feelings ex-
press themselves too strongly; nor should
the Democratic party lose sight of better
and more glorious ends to be attained in
endcavorinS to accomplish mere party sue
cess. But the South which is intensely ex-
cited on the subject of disunion at this time
should be told and made to believe what the
real sentiment of the majority of the Nor
thern people is. The South should know
that the majority Of the people of this State
tand we believe it to be true of most oflthc
other Northern States are not ininlical to
the interests of the people South Of Mason
and Dlxon's line; yet the South should
not be deceived at all. If it can be shown
that the people in this section are setting
themselves against them, they ought to
know it but indications that l see every
day tell me that such is not the case True
several church bells throughout this State
were toiled on the day JouS BRowN was
hanged; yet you know that does not neces-
sarlly imply that the people of this State
sympathized with him or his acts, some of
course did SO, and those some tollei the
bells. But the ones who dissented are now
speaking through the Public Press and bv
" Union meetings, and ere the new year
about to enter upon its course has grown
hoary with the frosts OF another winter
trust and doubt not that the South will
have had abundant evidence of the friendly
feelings entertained towards them by the
patriotic citizens of the North, Connect, ut
not excepted.

And if you don't consent to come
Send some fairy about as big as y'r thumb.
Who can sit on the feathery end of nv pen.
And maybe SO, can write some then.
If had quill from a seraph's wing
think it would be the very thing.
For wish to sing of love and stuff,
And let the girls know I'm up to snuff.
If don't commence, I'll not begin
So like Mr. Lemon, I'll go right in.
And TO the maidens of every degree,
Let me here warn you I'm not on spree.
All want to say in this fine pome,
Is to You, girls, :" Come, I'm always at home,"
And when posterity. at the tail end of time,
shall peruse this enrapured at its beauty and over
whelmed with the briliancy of the genius of its

''THE SHOE BEGINSrNG To Prscu
The people of the North are beginning to
feel the effects of their course towards the
South. AS a sample how the phvsic is
working, the Philadelphia Ledger says that
I" the excitement which prevails in the pub
lie mind, in reference to our sectional dis
putes, is very seriously disturbing the re-
lations of business, and if continued, will
cause great deal Of suffering among our
merchants and laboring population. a
great many OF our trades depend upon the
Southern market; some have suddenly
ceased operations for want of orders from
the South. and consequently employers have
had to discharge their workmen. This is
particularly trying at this period Of the
