very good reason, it is not agreeable to be

grief is trifle compared with that of a
most estimable lady with whom happen

Concord. The lady was trying her best,
in spite of all possible Instructions, to
reach her home, which, unfortunately, was
situated on the Lawrence route. The way
was open to Concord, n H., which might
as well change its style to Discord, N. II.

is that there are fewer employees in pro-

"BlOOdthirsty."

Some of the opposition journals (call
them copperhead, democratic or agricul-
tural, as you please), are dreadfully exer-
cised at the bloodthirsty nature of THE
CALEDONIAN. And this, because we have
taken the same ground that President
johnson did, that treason is great crime.
and that traitors should be punished.
These opposition journals now call us
bloodthir>ty and unchristian. Poor, dear,
pious souls, calm your fears. Sleep in
peace. Your friend jeff. Davis will not
be harmed. To be sure, he has commit
ted crimes in comparison to which the
midnight assassin appears like an angel Of
light Without him, there would have
been no rebellion. The tens and hundreds
of thousands of young men whose bones
now bleach on the plains and in the
swamps Of the South, were murdered by
him!
One difference between THE CALEDo-
MAN and its opposition mel ghbors is this ::
TIE CALIFORNIAN would have justice
done. 1t would have traitors arraigned,
tried, and, if convicted, punished. Not
because it would atone for the crime COM
mitted, but as security for the future
Mercy to the individual may bea wrong
to the State The CALIFORNIAN wants a
permanent peace-such a reorganization
OF the Southern states that there will nev-
er be another Rebellion In the language
Of President Johnson, it believes that
" treason should be made odious,' and
that, in the future management of our Ma
tional affairs, those men so lately rebels
should " take back seat"
The journals that are so Mortified at the
ground The CALIFORNIAN takes, would
not punish traitOrs-would not even try
them; but would receive them back into
fellowship, and warm them in the bosom
OF the Nation, even as the farmer in the
table warmed the viper, until they should
receive strength to strike another blow at
the Nations heart. On the same princi-
pie, these papers would oppose the punish
ment, or even the arrest and trial of a
murderer.
The former is the bloodthirsty and I'M
christian character of The CxIEpoS1AS
The latter is the conciliatory and christian
nature Of its opponents.

Tuesday, from 81 precincts, including the
cities of Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosba,

Lucius Fairchild, republican, 1857 ma

suffrage to the negroes in that state in II
precincts is SO behind the republican
ticket. Mr.. Fairchild will be elected GOV
ernor by from 5000 to 10000 majority :;
but the result of the vote on negro suff-
rage is doubtful. The vote throughout
the state is light, compared with last year.

yesterday afternoon, fracas occurred
between party of the 54th Massachu-
sets Volunteers (colered) and two OF
the local police, occasioned by the dis
orderly conduct Of the former, and their
open violation Of orders in carrying and
brandishing sticks. The police, in the
discharge Of their duty, demonstrated
and insisted upon the reling,iishment OF
the sticks, when open violence was
threatened by the colored soldiers, and
only averted by the prompt and fearless
action Of one Of the police, who fred up

To the People of Fairfield.

... sAe tiAV @pvpiO Va - GohnSAu'.fs.th
Mr.. EDITOR: AS the election forcit
zens to represent the people of Fairfield
comes on soon, / hope It will not be out
of place, for the people to talk together
on the subject beforehand. The Con.
vention viii have to transact business of
prime interest to the State. What is
that business To repeal the ordnance
OF secession. This should be done with
a grave dignity. And to do so, great
solemnity and 1 think unanimity will be
required. And then State Govern.
ment is to be inaugurated. This will
require new Constitution. And in
making this, representatives will have
the opportunity to discard the defects of
the old one, and engraft sound princi.
pies on the new. lst. The compro-
mise, said to exist between the low and
up country on the subject of representa-.
tion, should be abolished the Parish.
es districted, and representation be
placed upon the republican basis Of
population alone. Let no vote be cast
for candidate who will not agree to
this: 2nd. If the rightand power to pass
sumptury laws, belonged to the old Leg.
islature, it should be expressly prohibit.
ed to future Legislation. For fear NAV
not be understood, l will just say, I
mean the power to regulate by law,
what a man shall eat, drink or wear
how much or what he shall plant. Let
us give the election Of Governor to the
people! Let the Judges be elected as
heretofore, but some Limitation placed
on their term of office. Let all the
sound principles Of our old Constitu.
tion be eusrattcd on the neW. The pro.
hibition to pass erpost .facto laws, or
laws violating religions rights OF rights
ofconscience. And if there be anything
more let the Convention look to it, and
see that things be fixed up right, while
they have the opportunity. Let them
examine scrutinise, turn over and turn
up everything, so that. their deeds may
be Of lasting heneft to their country, -
and praise and crown Of glory for
themselves.
Now Mr.. Editor, / will repeat, that
the voters should support no candidate
for the Convention who will not pledge
himselfto break down the so.colled com.
promise betwixt the upper and low
country, on the subject of representa-.
ton in the Legislature. Let us now
place both sections, upon just and
.equalposition. Let it not be that par.
ish with forty voters shall send Sena.
tor and representative to1the Legisla.
ture, while Fairfield and other larger
Districts send only one Senator and
three or four Representatives, with a
population Of fifteen to twenty hun.
dred voters.
The Convention will have to recon
stract. Let this be done with gravity and
dignity. And if it be the will of the
Almighty that slavery should go up
