DUB STANFORD (OONN.) CORRESPONDENCE.
STANFORD, Feb. 2, 1881.
Governor BSckjnoAoms Order 10 the Connecticut kilita-
RoD q Responded to By tie wide A'oakes" and Co
0cionias Of Stamfovd-Only Hso Enlist, DO
For long time past the "wide Awakes Of this place
and many prominent leaders Of the republican party
have crying against the administration for not
having courage the laws and the South
About two weeks since Captain Meeker, Of company E.
OF this place. received order from the Governor 10 I'LL
up the ranks Of his company by enstmens and have
ready to march At the shortest notice.
In compliance with said order Captain NJ although
strong democrat went to work at to fill up his
companyrequiring for that purpose about sixty men,
Not only did he strong personal exertions among all
with whom he met, but, in order to give greater pub
lcy the matter he advertised in our paper that he
would be at the Town Hall last evening to receive the
names of those DESTROYS Of enlisting.
At the appointed time he on hand at the hail.
where quite concourse had assembled.
After making neat little speech setting fourth the
pectof the meeting and earnestly calling upon those pre-
hand their Names response TO the call Of the
Governor, only two responded to the invitation. And
one Of these who eight miles, supposed
he was TO receive eight dollars per month from date,
and was greatly disappointed when afterwards he was
| told that not the ease.
Not a uWide Awake made his appearance for enlist
ment nor one of the rabd republicans who have been
damnil unmerCuuly the present ADMINISTRATION.
How does this correspond with the declaration made
by Mr. Ferry member of the present House from this
Congressional district who to have gone over en-
| tircly TO the abolitionistsY
In his late speech against the majority report Of the
i Committee Of Thirty three, and against every other
honorable measure for the restoration Of harmony and
Union in our distracted country, in speaking OF New
England people, he said
The impulse which lies deepest Ia their hearts s not
the miserable fiction miscalled honor but the living and
verify OF duty at whose call they will If need be,
lay down the implements Of peace and walk as calmly
to the cannons mouth as they now do TO their daily
toll
II the gentleman would spend little time among his
constituents he would find that there is but very little
"daily t) going here at present among the working
classes and that such he are the cause OF It,
But TO the quotation from his speech Either the SIAM
ford portion OF New England people cowardswhich
think he would be unwilling to admt-or they do not
think sthe living and eternal verify Of duty" calls
upon them to Undue their hands in the blood Of their
make the least concessions for the restoration OF harmony
ana Union In our country.
This attempt, then, to enlist men to fight
against the South existing crcumtancesl ought TO
be a warning 10 all non compromising republicans Ana
before the Hon. Mr. Ferry makes another such assertion
he had better show willingness to grant to all portions
of country their equal rights, and then have no
doubt but his assertion will prove correct.
This will show to the country the feeling In Connecti-
cut SO long desire for compromise shown on the
part of republicans 1t is straw that shows which way
the wind blows and ought to be warming to ALL Let
republicans show proper spirit of compromise, and
then reusal the part Of the South to abide by them
will make united North.
