The inaugural message of Gov. ENGLISH
to the CoNNEcr1cUT Legislature, is docu-
ment that will repay perusal. A large
portion oft is devoted to national issues,
the discussion of which is clear and con.
elusive The Governor takes strong Dem
ocratic ground, but in terms so dIgni6ed
and so courteous as not to offend any but
his most bitter partisan opponents. Appa-
rently anticipating criticism for treating
these topics at such length, Governor Eng
L1sH says: 81 have thus particularly brot
to your attention these acts of the federal
Congress, because in any judgment their
tendency is to revolutionize the character
of our government, and, therefore, they
vitality concern the people of CONNECT
CUT" One paragraph in this connection
presents two points SO forcibly that we re-
produce it entire; ....... r
Will the precedent thus set by Congress
be forgotten Will the Constitution, which
is impotent to restrain the fury ofa major
ity to-day, become the sacred shield it
once was for the minority Tomorrow p
Will the sword that IS so easily drawn TO
establish constitution now, be allowed to
rest in its sheath if needed to overthrow a
constitution hereafter? 1t has been the
honest boast and just glory of the soldier
that he has saved to our people their old
flag, without a star displaced or stripe
broken--but useless has been the sacrifice
if the people no longer retain their faith
in constitutional government. If the char
acter of our liberties has been lost, nothing
has been won. More than ever, at the
present time, should any infraction of the
Constitution be regarded as public calam-
| ity. BY the vast increase of our public
Indebtedness every question which con-
Germs the government credit comes home
to every in the land, BY that credit all
values are measured. 1t lies at the foun-
dation of all our wealth, our industry-ot
society ITSELF No calamities of the past
can exceed those which will befall us if the
public credit should give way. But how
is it to be preserved if the supreme law OF
the land is itself repudisted? In what
market of the world is that government
trusted which is swayed by revolutionary
factions, intent only upon the qualification
of ambition or the Indulgence of partisan
resentment? Had the Efforts of Congress
been properly directed, the industry and
trade of the whole country would long
since have felt the grateful influence and
the public credit been strengthened.

A HoME FOR INVALID SoLoIRRs.--We
to-day publish the list of prizes, plan Of
drawing, &c. of the committee having in
charge the matter OF securing home for
Invalid soldiers Of Pennsylvanis. .,s a.
Z The object is a laudable one. Of the
measures adopted to secure it, a leading
Philadelphia paper says r,
It is well known that all efforts to OBJ
tain voluntary subscriptions sufficient to
erect Soldiers Home have been without
avail. In furtherance of the object, how
ever, the Legislature of Pennsylyania have
passed an act dated March 9Th, 1857, cre-
ating a corporation of which Major General
George G. Meade ia president, and Gener-
al Horatio G. Siskes is treasurer, with an
efficient board of supervisors, who have
the power to distribute to the holders of
certificates, large number of immensely
valuable gifts, consisting of diamonds,
pearls, emerals, rubies, &C., purchased from
citizens of the Southern States during the
rebellion, aud which articles will soon be
exhibited in this city. By this scheme it
is confidently anticipated large fund will
be created towards the erection of the
Home. A great feature of the affair con-
sists in the fact that every purchases of the
certificates becomes a contributor to this
Natioral Home fund, and at the same time
has direct interest in the distribution of
the rare gems mentioned above. The de-
tails of the entire scheme will be conducted
in a perfectly fair and honorable manner.
The site for the Home has already been
purchased, and consists of thirty acres of
land, used by General Meade during the
battle of Gettysburg at his head quarters.
The plan has been approved by ex Cover
nor Curtin, and large number of promi-
ncnt military heroes"

A YOUNG Woman BURIED AlIvE.-A
friend gives US the account of most terri.
bic case of the burial of handsome young
lady at Jacksonville, Illinois. Some time
last summec young lady of seventeen
years of age, suffering with the toothache,
went to bed with small vial of chloroform
for the purpose of quieting her teeth. In
the morning she was found to all appearan-
ces dead, which was confirmed by the opin-
ions of several physicians who were called
and examined her body. She was then
buried. A few days since her relatives
were about TO remove from Jacksonville,
having located in another State, and had
the remains of the young lady exhnmed for
the purpose of taking them to their new
home Curiosity prompted the opening
of the coffin, when they were horror strick-
en- on finding the corpse turned over, both
hands full of hair, and her clothing torn to
shreds, revealing the horrible truth that the
young lady had been buried alive. The
chloroform had placed her in deep trance,
the awakening from which was in her coffin
and grave. The lady was engaged to be
married at the time of her supposed death

dy ln Informed me that she never sewed =
What do your suppose was the nature of
my reflections on hearing that deciara-
tion ? ] said to myself, either that girl
speaks falsely, or else she is very lazy.
Never sews Who, then, / queried,
makes your dresses and cloaks, your skirts
and bows! Who repairs the rips in your
pretty gaiter boots, and darns the holes in
your stoekings7 Is your aged mother,
or your more Industrious sister? Or do
you hire all your sewing done? Should
this last supposition be the case. may you
never marry And the chances are you
never will. Not one young man in hun
dred can afford to marry woman who
habltually neglects household duties
Young man, il it should ever be your for
tune to hear young woman declare that
she never sews, beware Shun her as you
would the chills and fever. Be insane
enough to make such one your wife,
and before the honeymoon is over, the
horrors Of buttonless shirts and heelless
hose will be upon You; your fair lady's
sewing would be done by others, while she
moped in idleness, or rloted IN fashionable
dissipation. Then farewell to your dreams
of domestic felicity; they would fade as
summer flowers to the touch of frost.-Er.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS EvERYwHERE.-
The Radical newspapers are trying then
best to break the force of the signal and
disastrous defeat in Connecticut by assert
ing that they have made gains elsewhere
Nothing conld be further from the truth
In New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, and
all through the Western and Middle
States, the town and municipal elections
have rs clearly shown decline in Radica
influence as did the State elections in New
England. There is abundant evidence
that the people are beginning to reflect Sc
riously upon tbs condition ofthe country.
Reason is resuming her sway, and the fu-
ture gives promise of great and lasting
change. That it will come, and come
speedily we conscienciously believe. All
the signs of the times indicate the approach
of new political era.

az Military despotism, a eotemporar,

Ey Military despotism, a contemporary
well says, is costly. Like war itself, it eats
into the resources of the people. Already
we have examples of what it will cost in
Virginia, and other States. The registry
lists are made out by military commanders
"a mockery upon republican Goverement
and "seven hundred officers" are required
as clerks and assistants, in Virginia alone,
to make out the lists. The law is that
white men shall be very generally disfran-
chised at the South, and negroes enfran
chiseG--so it requires vast deal Of labor
to do the business. Richmond is already
full of "loya" office seekers, who are eager
to prey upon the peoples money. The
wit of man could not have devised prece-
dent more dangerous to republican institu.
tions than this military despotism, no mat.
ter whether its pretext was Reconstruction
or oppression.
