PERSONIL AND POLITICAL.

s9~We copy the following delicate compli ment of the Bridgeport Farmer to the Hon. O s. Ferry, Representative in Congress from this district, without further comment, than to com mend it's attractive and manly sentiment, and its fastidious phrase to the attention of our readers
 70. s. Ferry, of Norwalk, made a great splurge at the Lincoln and Hamlin Ratification meeting in Philadelphia, a few evenings since He denounced the Democratic party bitterly, ac since he has been in public life, has been guilty of the most shameful and disgraceful political trickery and mountebankery and those who know him best, look upon his reproving other parties for alleged misdemeanors, Satan rebuk- ing sn." No man in the country shows so foul a political record as the same o. $. Ferry and
 it would be we'll for the hypocrte first to correct a few of his own faults before he undertakes to teach his betters.
 "GooD BLooD." D."-The "I'ribune" is giving us the blood of the Lincolns.
 Ono of tho oldest towns in Massachusetts is Hingham, lying in pleasant valley, at the head of tide-water. It is quaint old place, and in it is the oldest church now standing on this continent, 4 In this band. also, uiuoiib tuose WHo ioIoWcu tIieiu year UT lWO later, were the Lincolns, the ancestors without doubt of all of that name, now scattered all over the United States. It was an hOnored name in the old country; and it has never earned any, thing but honor in it's two centuries sojourn in this. One of Washington's most trusted Gener- als-he whom his Chief called to receive the sword of Cornwallis-was of this stock. It has given Governor and Lieut.. Governor to Mas sachusetts and many offices of trust have fallen to others of the name, there, and in other places. It is good, honest blood, and has flowed for many generations through the veins Of honest men.
 Abraham Lincoln undoubtedly came of this parentage. His grandfather went westward from Virginia, and there is a vague tradition that the great grandfather emigrated from Penn sylvania. But it is only tradition. The prob ability is that he was an emigrant from Massa- chusetts. The sons and brothers of this grand father, whose name was Abraham, indicate that they were of the Lincoln family, who emigrated to Hingham, in 1637; and the Southern and Western branch have preserved the names so we'll known in the annals of the old town whence they sprung.
 R9r The widow of Ossawatomie Brown has received $3O,0OO from his admirers in Hayti.
 1ar The Illinois Republican contains the fol- lowing obituary notice of once popular ani- mal:
 DED.-At Charleston, South Carolina. on the = inst, the old and well known horse De- mocracy.
 The above named horse was sired by Thomas Jefferson, and dam(n)ed by s. A. Douglas.

In this town June 3d, Henrietta M., wife of Giles P. Buell., aged 9 years. In Bethlem, June lth, Mary Brown, wife of Henry w. Peck, aged 40 years. In Goshen, April 27th, Ida E., only child of George II. and Elizabeth Crandall, aged years and months.
 Twas in the early spring time, When flowers began to bloom, That we did lay our Ida fair Within the silent tomb
 As gently as the suns bright blush Fades at the close of day,
 So gently did our Ida fair
 Pass silently away.
 No stain was on her little heart Sin had not entered there. And innocence slept sweetly on Her pale white brow, so fair. She was too pure for this cold earth. Too beautiful to stay,
 And so the angels in the spring Bore Ida fair away.

 We call the attention of our merchants and citizens generally, to the advertisement which tappears in another column, of the St. Nicholas Hotel, Broadway, New York. This princely palace has accommodations for one thousand guests. A city within city, having cosmo politan community, representatives from every civilized nation on the face of the globe. The gentlemen who planned and carried into sue cessful operation an enterprise like this mann moth establishment deserve the mos4 hbeal pat ronage of the travelling public. We advie ou1 friends visiting New York, to call on Messrs 7read,ceR, Whitcomb G Co.,, with whom we art sure thoy will feel at home.
 A club boat has just been built in New York which is so nicely balanced, that the rowers arc obliged to be particular in parting their hail down in the middle to keep their balance. A country parson was addicted to using the phrase, q aatter myself" instead of $ be ieve." Having occasion to exhort his congre gation during revival he fattered himself that more than half of them would be damned!

The Bell and Everett Ticket


 was made in political annals, good deal tn most ridiculous ground for a national presidents canvass, and the slimmest apology for ticke for the purpose of securing the suffrage o American citizens, is the ticket lately put fort by the :" old gentleman's party" at Baltimore, a the head of which are the names of Mir. Bel and MT. Everett.
 With no platform at all, standing upon as lit tie as man who is gibbeted, representing as few principles as any hod-carrier or grave-d'gge' who is respectable and honest, embodylng as much energy and reliability as venerable but worn out dray-horse, these two very respectable names are put forth by few fossilized fogies who are never content, unless like old grannies they are stirring their tea and scandals together and are lugubriously mourning the faults and de fleets of those in whom their mental obliquty prevents them seeing any good or laudable excellsncies.
 Names are very respectable things in their way. When Shakespeare remarked, What's in a name ?"-he didn't mean that there couldn' t be a good deal. These names before us repre- sent two very excellent and worthy gentlemen, gentlemen known and honored of past genera tious. gentlemen of acknowledged honor, and we hope of eminent virtue, gentlemen nurtured in the lap of a6luence and born to the gold spoon and speetacles which they may continue to en- joy to the end, but, after all, men with whom we should be fearful to embark under their captain cy in stormy weather, smooth-water pilots in deed, and, though weather-beaten, not sea-dogs enough to command and control the great ship of State in a tempest
 But what the American people want in this critical juncture of affairs is that names shall represent PRINCIPLES and not men merely! They want clean bill of health and a clean diploma, and clean record. They want assurances that their commander is safe, and staunch, and fear less. They want clear and comprehensive cAa,t laid down, ineligible and direct, and an advertised scheme by which they may know where they are tending, and with what intent.
 Such chart and such course is plainly and legbly marked out by the late Republican convention at Cnlcago. we trust thaI Iiie Democrats at Baltimore will enunciate or re-af- firm heir principles and we suppose they will. Under the instructions of the former, men have been selected in every other respect worthy of their position, who will uphold and represent the platform on which they stand.
 The latter upon making their nominations, will also offer their platform to the inspection of the people, and between these two the peo- pie will select. Upon these principles we base our canvass, with the good and trusty names to represent them.
 And it is PRINCIPLES AND MEN which our American people want-not men without them

AprOpOs to the Season.

It is delightful Summer has fairly succeeded to the anything but "merry month of May last past Litchfeld has put on all her gorgeous summer glory-and the trees and flowers so long "lingering in the lap of Spring. at length open their leaves and blossoms to coquetting June It is the gardening of the year; the foreshad- owing promise the first fragrance of the har- vest crown
 The individual who is not affected pleasantly by this lovely, leafy month is much more fitted, than by lack of perceptible music, for trea- sons, stratagems and spoils''-or he is fitted for all together, combined in a County Divisonist! That old, but highly venerated heather, Hor- ace, had some very sweet thoughts upon this month, translation of which into rhymed En- glish, we gave week or two since, beginning "Now softened by the genial Spring,
 And newborn Zephyr's fragrant breath, Nature, her smiles recovering,
 Arises from her wintry death" And going on:
 Not now the struggling herbage grieves
 Beneath the frost and dreary snows; But Hodge his chimney-corner leaves,
 And draws with plough the fertile rows. "To frolc heath the full-orbed moon,
 The decent nymphs and Graces meet, With Venus raise the choral tune,
 And strike the air with nimble feet
 "Now while the fiery god of heat
 To flame his hungry forges moves,
 Crown we our heads with flowers to greet
 And worship Faunus in the groves"
 For re-copying which, we don't doubt the DO etical Mir. Hodge will thank us.
 But is there not lesson to be learned iron all this sunshine and promise-a moral lessor and true one? Mankind are never so near t, Ills image who created all, as when they nor closely resemble the smiling and happy natur which He has made, and the world over-th seasons round-the most peerless are the genial whole-souled' benifcent, and the happiest are tn smiling!

THE OxYGENATED BiTTERs-

Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Heart Burn, Water Byask. Sour Stomach, Jaundice, Flqtulency, General DeJLv S'c,, find ready relief and speedy cure in this great remedy.
 The Oxygenated Bitters are believed by many who have been cured of the above complaints to be the only medicine which the naeria naef,ea af. lords for their infallible cure. It is not an alec. holic preparation, which. while giving momen- tary stimulus, reduces the system in the same ra tio but one distinct and different from any medf cal preparation ever com pounded. and which will in most cases extract the disease by the roots and restore the patient to pristine health. In proof Of which, testimony of the very highest and un- exceptionable character is presented
 RELIABLE TESTIMONY.
 We call the attention of the reader to the fol- lowing letter from President Smith, of Wesleyan University:
 MIDDLErowx, Conn.,, Feb. 2s, 1859. Messrs. Seth W. Fowle < Co.,
 Gentlemen :-I first made use of the 0xygena- ted Bitters some seven or eight years since. Hay- ing suffered for twenty years from form of Dys- pepsia. which was attended with nervous head ache. on an average of not less than one day in a week. I was induced by the unpretending recom- mendation of Dr. Green " to try one bottle and if no benefit was received to discontinue the use
 The use of one bottle warranted a further trial. to the extent of some three or four. with careful observance of the accompanying directions. The result was an almost entire relief from the usual dyspeptic symptoms and their depressing, painfnf consequences. I believe these Bitters prodnced an entire change in the habits of my system and upon the active energies of the digestive orranr- I now deem myself an exempt from Dyspepsia I'd most persons. These Bitters have also been of service to other members of my family.

AuJOurneu tH Ste CLOCK next MOnuay.
 Saturday-Housc met at 90 clock, and not withstanding the absence of a large majority of the members, mutitade of papers were cleared from the table, adjournment same as the Senate.
 The final adjournment should, and would have taken place this week, but for the tardiness of persons having business with the Honorable body. But must not enlarge on this topic will say however, that do not fully exoncr- ate the members for prolonging the session. It is now supposed by many, that the finale will be on Friday the 18th instant, but my prophetic vision says it will not Do reached till after the twentieth.
 On Wednesday, at half past fonr o'clock, the Legislature accepted an invitation from Messrs. Winchester and Davis, to visit their shirt facto- ry, information of which reaching my ears caus- ed me to join the Dignitaries as hanger-on." |" The company having reached the establishment, were shown through the store, shipping, cutting, sewing, washing, ironing, drying and packing rooms, and so on, the gentlemanly proprietors and their assistants explaining minutely every process through which the indispensable luxury, shirt, must pass before it reaches it's compile tion. We were finally conducted into room of 50 by 200 feet. where we found tables spread with various luxuries waiting for us, to which ample justice was done," by both Hon. orables and Tag-aftars. Neither your col umns or my time will allow me to give full de- scription of this model establishment, hence leave it by saying, that it uses 100000 yards of muslin, annually, 50O,OOO yards of linen, and about 800 persons are employed in the country, to whom the work is sent to be finished.
