The Connecticut Campaign* A Grand Row In the Congregation of the “ Loyal”——Fanny Scene* in a Re publican Convention—A Johnson Res* olntion Toted Down—The Radidals* 'Get the Upper Hand—The White Men Declare they Will Hot Be Rallied. 1 fFrom the Hartford Times, Feb. 12.] The Republicans of the Town of Hart ford met at Central Hall, last Saturday evening, to elect delegates to the several conventions. The Hall was yell filled. It was soon apparent that there was a conflict of opinion. , Voters who had acted together during the war, upon a single idea, now that the war was over found thatjtiielrprincipleswerenotalike. One section of the meeting supported the Union principles of President John son upon which he proposes to restore the late rebellious States, and to pre serve the republic. The other .section support the dis union doctrines of Thad. Stevens, and are willing to aid in the revolutionary measures of that bad leader. Ex-Lieu tenant Governor Day was called to the chair, and John R. Buck, Esq., was chosen secretary. The two sections had previously prepared to make an issue upon the election of delegates to the State Convention, and each came with printed tickets—one set favorable to President Johnson’s policy, the other opposed to it, viz : In favor of President Johnson —Samuel Woodruff,Wm. H. Green, Julius L. Strong, A. N. Clark. Opposed to President' Johnson —ll. K. W. Welch, David Clark, E. N. Kellogg, George P. Bissoll. A ballot was taken for one delegate at a time. Welch was elected, behaving 114 to 70 for Woodruff'—giving the Radicals n ma jority of 44 Postmaster E. S. Cleveland desired to say a few calm and dispassionate words bore. He claimed that the gentleman just elected (Mr. Welch) was originally opposed to Gen eral Hawley, as were the candidates on thei ticket with him ; thaton Sunday, when Gen eral Hawley was in the field, \V. 11. Green, whose narno is on the other ticket, was at work supporting General Hawley, while George P. Bissoll was on the street ucting and talking nguinst General Hawley. He assumed that thogenllCrnun on tho Johnson ticket were the early supporters of General Hawley, and that tho opposite ticket wore his opponents. Mr. Georgo 1\ 'Bissoll replied. ,llq said: “This is nrotty good for you, Cluvcnand, who ronuiineu at home, subsisting on post-oflioo pap whilo we were in tho field. I give you to understand that'wo don’t purpose to be ruled by one man.” Tho foreman ol‘the Press office hero called for three cheers for Bissoll, which were fulntly given. Then caine cries for'anothor “ballot," “ballot,” and tho Votes wore called for. Tho entiro anti-Johnson ticket was chosen by from forty to fifty majority. On the other delegations no contest was mude, except that Mr. Green protested against tho choice of Henry C. Beckwith, as ho wa.su resident and voted last spring in an adjoining town. Thu following dele gatus wuro chosen: County— George S. Gillman, A. N. Clark, Georgo Bodwell, E. T. Lobdell. Senatorial —lJ. C. Beckwith,T. IC. Brace, C. E. Warner, Edward Holden. Probate— J. L. Strong, S. K. McNary, J. R. Buck, Michael Lovett. On the second delegate to tho State Con vention, the contest was between David Clark and Win. 11. Green. Clark was elected, 119 to 74. Ou tho announcement of this result Mr. Green spoke to define his position, lie said that a certain man in this hall (David Clark) had opposed him (Green) two years ago when lie (Green) was a candidate for repre sentative—a nomination urged upon him, though ho had declined it three times. That person claimed to he a Union man, and had denounced him as adisunionist; he worked against me in the election, defeated me, and after the election bragged of it—electing Wm. W. Eaton over mo. Was that a true and consistent course for a Union man to pursue? If so, it was ,u God-forsaken “ Union” party. So long as I have acted with the Union party my record has been clear and complete, thank God; and I trust that my course hereafter will be as clear in support of President Johnson and his policy. A voice—“ Dry tip on Johnson.” Green—Stop me if you can! By the holy —I will talk as long us I please for the honest statesman ot Tennessee, against Thad. Stevens. (Hisses, laughter, applause, jeors, and general confusion.) Andrew Johnson ! I will talk in favor of him—God bless tho noble old Democrat! (Here there was the greatest confusion. Some were cheering, others were crying, “Dry up!” “Put him out!” ifcc. Green was defying his opponents—and there was loud and angry talk among squads of voters whose opinions differed—and some of whom were backing Greou, while others were trying to cry him down.) The balloting finally pro ceeded, Green calling for three cheers for the county delegation—“ tho first Union ticket we have elected this evening.” But the meeting refused to cheer, though canes and chairs were thumped upon the floor, and all sorts of yells were set up, muking a Bedlam outright. Calvin Day, Esq., interrupted Green, when the latter tersely remarked : “ Who are you? You are nothing but a d—d old pocket-book ; l\utyou have got no mortgage on my property—you can’t use nor frighten mt!” As the tellers were«counting the votes for probate delegates, Wm. 11. Green said, “ While the votes are being counted I offer this resolution,” and read: A JOHNSON RESOLUTION Resolved, That wo heartily indorse the administration of Andrew Johnson ; and we pledge ourselves to an earnest support of his wise and statesmanlike policy re garding the restoration of the Union. Mr. Bissell—Mr. Chairman, I move to lay that lesolution on the table. Postmaster Cleveland—(addressing Mr. Bissell)—Will you pay proper respect to our distinguished President and the resolu tion, and call the resolution from the table after the declaration of the vote? Bissell—l don’t care to bo questioned by a Cleveland. Calvin Day—Mr. Chairman, I declare that resolution to be out of order. " The Chairman—Yes, sir, the resolution is out of order. Cleveland—Green, withdraw it and offer it again, immediately after the ballot is de clared. Green—l withdraw it till you declare the ballot. Chairman—Gentlemen, you have elected to the Probate Convention Messrs. Strong, McNary, Buck and Ley— Perry Smith—l movo we adjourn. Cbairmun—Those in favor oi'an adjourn ment will say aye. Green—Hold on, you politicians. Do you mean to choke mo down ? “Ayes” were yollod by one side. With out calling for the nocs, the Chairman de clared the meoting “ adjourned.” Now followed “ a scene. There wero all sorts of yells, swearing, threatening, push ing, shaking of canes and lists. No pen could describe that scene of passion and confusion. Green—Adjourn your meoting—choke us down—but lot the friends of Johnson re main. Let us have another meeting. No one left the hall; all remained; and there were cries to Green, who was on the stand. “ Put your resolution ; we'll vote on it.” Green—l will. He then read the resolution, and put the question, “Those in favor ot this resolution and Androw Johnson, will say aye.” The minority voted aye. But when tho noes were called for, the Radicals used their lungs. Each one, at the his voice, cried “No,” with a will. The resolution wus rejected by a deofded majority. Then came THE SIDE SCENES. E. S. Cleveland, jumping upon the stand, said: “Gentlemen, you havedugthe politi cal grave of Joseph R. Hawley, and you have put him into it. The issue is made up, and you have made it—this evening. We go to the people with it. This is a dis union meeting.” Hero Mr. Cleveland’s voice was drowned by the howls and groans of tho crowd. Above the general aiH could occasionally, bo heard such sentences as these—“ Get out!” “You are a d—d pretty post muster!’ ’ This shows what you are!” “Put him out 1” Cleveland—“ Yes, gentlemen, put me out, or take me off from this stand, if you dare." J * Green (on the table; —“ Yes, put him out, if you dare! Try that on! Go in! Try that—try iL n/jw, we are ready—put your hands on Ned Cleveland, if you dare. You have made the issue here to-night. I don’t support any party that don’t support the President! You may go your way and wo Will go ours. Swerve from the path or the war Democracy, if you want to, and you lose us, my chickens.” The groans, the hisses, the yells, the howls, the stampingand jumpirtg, swearing and bellowing—these cannot, be described as they occurred at this time. The crowd finally moved towards the doer. E. S. Cleveland and George P. Bissell came face to face. Bissell said something which the reporter could not hear. But lie concluded as follows: “You are nothing but a puppy—you are”— Cleveland—(addressing Bissel) “ Yes,you miscreant and whelp! The trouble with you is your father-in-law could not get the nomination. You nine months abor tion—you went to the war, did you ! and when there was a battle you got behind the trees, and laid down behind a log!” Bissell—(Having in view the necessity of more devotional music”) —“Thats# d —u lie/ You are a liar!” “What else did you do?— When I subscribed to a testimonial to Gen eral Hawley you—you miserable whelp,you took my name off the subscription paper.” Bißsell—“Yes I did; we didn't want your Btlnking name there.” Cleveland— 1 ‘ You are a miserable scoun drel! and General Hawley has told me, within the past two weeks, that it was a low-lived piece of business in you in taking my name off.” Here tho crowd swayed back and forth, clenched fists were raised and arms were seized to stop Bpiteful blows ; and with oaths,.violent gestures, threats, execrations —“Youlie.” “He’sa scoundrel.” “He’s a whelp.” “You’re a G—d d—d liar.” “We won’t stand it.” “Let them abandon Johnson, we’ll stand by him.” “We ain’t niggers, let’s save the Union.” “They are disunionists.” “Who can act with such rascals as Thad. Stevensand his crew” —the crowd moved slowly out of the hall. For an hour later, squadß of “ the meet ing” were assembled on the corners of the streets, or in the saloons, and the conflict ran high. Qpvid Clark declared that “We knew our men—knew how to vote and how to elect ourticket.” Theothersidede nounced tho/ 1 nigger party” and the “die* unionists/’ and were warm in their appro bation of President Johnson and “ his noble patriotic stand for tho Union.” One of tho crowd said—“ Doming! he's a bloat—hehus been drinking other folks’ brandy for twelve years.” The Johnson men declare that they will soon .call a meeting and express their opin ions. They are not satisfied with being choked down, hissed down, and howled dow%. We have here attempted .no caricature, but have simply reported actual scenes as they occurred in the meeting, but we are not able to report them in all their extreme virulence and bad temper. The break is upon the policy of President Johnson—one section supporting the President’s anti negro views and lus Union measures, while the other oppose the President and go with Thad. Stevens. Without compromising principle, honor, and manliness, men of such directly opposite views cannot act to gether politically. The Defunct Democracy. The Newark Daily Journal thus dex terously assists the blunderer of the Herald to prove the Democracy de- The New York Herald, harping on its old no-party string, assumes that the Democratic party, like the old Federal anil »Wliig parties, is defunct. As it gives us no reason for its conclusion) we are free to presume that it has been governed by the fact that the Constitu tion, upon the strict construction of which the party was based, having be come almost a dead letter, it naturally follows that the superstructure must fall with the foundation. It is very true the Constitution has been frequently violated by the party in power, and that amendments are now contemplated, which, if adopted, would virtually change the whole char acter of the Government; but it is against this very consummation that the Democracy are contending. These amendments have not yet been submitted to the people, and. in fact, it has heretofore been difficult to make the people believe that the African party really intended to effect a political equalization of the races, or to render the domestic affairs of all the States subservient to the will of a political majority in Congress, and, therefore, it was impossible properly to rally them to the protection of their rights against the encroachments of the centralizing power. Despite this difficulty, and the ex traordinary influence wielded by the wide-spread jxatronage of a desperate administration) that under the assump tion of a mysterious “war power,” undertook to control elections, the Democracy asserted its vitality so potently that was only by a system of unprecedented frauds and corruption that it was prevented from reaping the fruit of the victory it actually obtained. In 1864, the defunct Democracy polled 1,811,754 v6tes in the same States in which, in ISM, it polled 1,714,434 votes, being an increase of 97,320 votes against the apparently almost overwhelming power of the administration. Did this look like expiring vitality? Let us imagine for a moment that the South was again called upon to vote within the Union, and that we should added to the' recent Northern Demo ocratic vote the 799,2-55 aufii-Repub ican votes it cast in 1800. This would natur ally be the result, and it would increase the numbers the “ defunct” Democra cy, throughout the Union, to 2,011,009, which would leave the African party in a minority of 387,974, even admitting all its bogus votes of 1804 to be genuine. But fhere is another potent element at work. As we - have said, heretofore it has been almost impossible to make the people believe the charges brought against the African party ; now the ac tion of that party in Congress isconelu sive that its sole object is to usurp the power of the people and retain it by ne gro suffrage. This is the whole mean ing of the fourteen amendments propo sed by the Constitution. Can there be any doubt as to the actiou of the people when these amendments are submitted to them for their ratification ? They do not involve the abolition of slavery— that question is settled; they are intend ed to place the negro on a political equality with the whites, and to give him the balance of power. All the patronage and power of the general government will be impotent to obtain a popular verdict in favor of such a scheme, and we have no fear that, even without the assistance of the South, the next election will assert the vitality of theconstitutional Democracy by an overwhelming triumph. Repeal of the State Tax on Real Esate. The following bill to repeal the State tax on real estate has passed both houses of the Legislature and will no doubt re ceive the approval of the Governor : Section 1. Be it enacted by Ihe Sen ate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in Gen eral Assembly met , and it is hereby en acted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this act, it shall be the duty of the cashier of every bank in this Commonwealth, whether incorporated under the laws ofthisState or of the United States, to collect, an nually, from every stockholder of said bank, a tax of one per centum upon the par value of the stock held by said stock holder, and to pay the'same into the State treasury on or before tPie first day of July in every year hereafter com mencing on the first day of July, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, and the said stock shall be exempt from all other taxation under the laws of this Commonwealth. Sec. 2. That in addition to the taxes now provided for by law, every railroad, canal and transportation company in corporated under the law of this coni momwealth, and not liable to The tax upon income under existing laws,'shall pay to the Commonwealth a tax of three-fourthsof one per centum upon the gross receipts of said company ; the said tax shall be paid semi-annually upon the first days of July and January, com mencing on the first day of July, one thousand eight huudred and sixty-six; and for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the same, it shall be the du ty of the treasurer, or other proper offi cer of said company, »to transmit to the Auditor General, at the dates aforesaid, a statement, under oath or affirmation, of the amount of thegross receipts of the said company during the preceding six months; and if any such company shall refuse or fail, for a period of thirty days after such tax becomes due, to make said return, or to pay the same, the amount thereto, shall be collected, for the use of the Commonwealth, as other taxes are recoverable by law, from said com panies. Kkc. 3. The revenue derived under the second section of this act shall be applied'to the payment of the principal and interest of the debt contracted un der, the act of loth May, 1861, entitled An act to create a loan, and to provide for arming the vState. Sec. 4.* From and after the passage of this act, the real estate of this Common wealth shall be exempt from taxation for State purposes : Provided, That this section shall not be construed to re lieve the said real estate from the pay ment of any taxes due the Common wealth at that date of the passage of this act. ~ A physician, whois a truly pious man, was speaking in a prayer meeting lately of the duty of imposing the idea of sal vation upon those near death, and of a physician’s opportunities in this way, and made use of the following language •* “lormyown part, I am never called to see a patient without feeling delight ed to learn that he is prepared to die. ,} The Medical .Society, lately in Bession at Albany,,Now York, adopted resolutions expressing the opinion that cholera may be prevented from becoming epidemic in any locality by the rigid enforcements of proper hygienic measures. Party of Ibe Future. There is a Party of the Post which will be the Party of the Future. Its time-honored legend and creed is “ De mocracy.” The future will honor its standards, for the past has cpvered them with glory. It knows its watchwords; it is compact: it is unterrified. Opposing tue con(|uct of a domestic war, encountering armies of office-hold ers and the ' profligate expenditures which in four years have heaped up a debt as huge as that imposed on Eng land by a century of wars, deprived of i£s former Southern majorities, and fighting also the secret frauds of a cor rupt administration, the Democratic party nevertheless , came within less than 33,000 votes of winning thclast Presiden tial election . The change of that num ber of votes in the States of New Hamp shiref-Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl vania, Maryland, Indiana, Oregon, and Nevada would have given their 96 elec torial votes'to McClellan, which, with the 21 he received, woulilhavemaie 117 —a majority of the total number, 233. Connecticut and New Hampshire were carried for Lincoln by soldiers’ votps — some fraudulent, some not —Democratic documentsand Democratic ballots being excluded from the army. Indiana was carried by wholesale and fraudulent im portations of soldiers’ votes ; Pennsyl vania by money, aud New York by as shameful a swindle as political villainy ever concocted. Maryland, also, was under the heel of military despots, and hervotescame filtered through themar tial-law of Fiskes and Schencks aud Butlers. Yet in spite of these enormous odds, whicli should have seemed to make any contesjtat all, utterly hopless, the Democratic party only asked 200,000 more votes to carry a majority of the popular vote in a poll of over 4,000,000; and, distributed as above, 33,000 votes would hare saved the election. —New York World.

Over two hundred accidents from kicking and running away of horses occurred during the past year, In Lancaster county nlone nearly all of which resulted in injuring the drivers, killingsome, maiming and wounding others, aud in until cases, breaking costly car riages aud hurting the hors-s Of thuoabove, nine-tenths were tame family horses The Safety Bridle will put an end to all such needless accidents, and with the Safety Lines the-speed of every horse Is easily much increas'd. At a special meeting of the Saddlers of Lnn coster county, Pa., held in Lancaster city, Nov 1860, the following resolutions were unani mously ndop ed : usefulness, power and safety oqDr.fHartman’s Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated in the preseuce of from one thousand teflf een hundred persons to their eutire satisfaction; aud since it was proven at the Mi-lersviile horse exhibition on four of the most vicious and confirmed kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible for a horse either to kick or run away; ‘therefore Resolved, That we, the Saddlers of Lancaster county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines Hccomp] i.-h all, and even more, than is claimed by th< patentee, in preventing horses from kicking aud runningaway. Resolved, lhat in view of the above facts, we deem it our legitimate duty, both lndividu Ity and collectively, to exert all honorable means to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, be cause in doing so we iu a very great measure prevent all accidents with horse, while with the old and defective bridle we put in great Jeopardy both Die,and limb. Resolved, That herealter we manufacture no other but Safety Bridies, unless especially or dered The price of Individual Rights is $5 each • County Rights, from $lOO.OO to $.500.00, according to population—those containing targe citin' excepted. No other investment before the public pre sents such inducements of making money. I n ever county there are at 1 ast twenty town ships, and in each township t least one hun dred persons who drive horses—which at five dollars f»r an individual right will amount to P Pr township, aud ten thousand dol'ars ($10,000; for each county at the rale of twenty townships at five hundred dollars each ! I .have not the least doubt but that amount of money can be made out of a county with proper busi ness tact and energy. The price of counties is so small as to pluce the investment in the hands of every one, for few are so poor as to be unable to raise one hundred dollars. Another feature about this invention is that the proprietor ol territory need not manufac ture the bridles and liues, us the ordinary bridle can, bo easily alt- red into a Safety. The lines only require to be made to order, and these can be made by any saddler for a trilie more than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold No man need wish for a greater f rtunethan right of a .Slate. To show the confidence the paten >ee lias in his invention, lie oilers to pay one thousand dollars for anv horse that pin either kick or run away when under I lie influence of the Safely Brid *e and Liues.

Beigfrled, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church, Philadelphia. Gentlemen:—l have recently been labornig nder the distressing clients of indigestion,ac companied by a prostration of the nervous sys tem. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but with out relief. Your Hoofiand’s German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters induced me to try them. I must cou fess Lhat I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” quack “Bit ters,’’ whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upou the com munity In a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation I took it with happy elTect. Its action, not oniy upon the stomach, but upou the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. I feel thaL I have de rived great and permanent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully voun*, W. D. SEIGFRIED, No. Z r A Shackamaxon Street. From the Rev. E. D. Kendall, Assistant Editor Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia. I have derived decided benefit from lheu.se of Hoofiund’s German Hitlers, and leel it my privilege to recommend them as a most valua ble tonic, to all who are suffering from gen eral debility or from diseases arising from de rangement of the liver. Yours truly. E. D. FEND ALL. From Rev. D. Merrig* Pastor of the Pussyunk Baptist Church, Philadelphia. From the many respectable recommenda tions given to Dr. Hoofland's German Ritters, I was induced to give them a trial. After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most exc«llent tonic for the stomach. From Rev. Wm. .Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vlncenttown and .Millville (NV J.) Baptist Churches. Having used In my family a number of bot tles of your Hoolland’s German Bilims, l have to say that I regard them as an excellent med icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended for. They strengthen and invigorate the system wlieu debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the liver, loris of appetite, &c. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and tound them greatly beneficial In the resto ration of health. Yours truly, WILLIAM SMITH, 1)00 Hutchinson street. Philadelphia. I hav6 known Hoofland's German Bitters favorably for a number of years’ I have used them In my own family, and have been so pleased with th'ir effects, that I was Induced to recommend them to many others, and know that they have operated In a strikingly benefi-' cial manner. I take great pleasure In thus publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are recommended, to these Bitters, knowing from experience that my recommen dation will he sustained. Ido this morocheer ,fnll as Hoofland’s Bitters Is intended to benefit the alilicled, and is ** rtot a rum drink.” Yours, trulv. LEVI G. BECK. • ••••' From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. I)., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Rcligtous Knowledge and Christian Chronicle, Phlhuleiphi . Although not disposed to favor or recom mend Patent Medtcines In general, through distrust of their Ingredients and ••fleet'*, I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man inoy not testify to the b uefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, iu the hope that fie mav thus contribute to the benefit of others. I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof land’s German Bitters, prepured by Dr. C. M. Jackson, oi this city, because I was prej udlced against them for many years, under the im pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I utn Indebted to my friend, Robert Shoemaker,'Esq., for the removal of this preju dice by proper tests and for encouragement to try them when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief and restor ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and hud almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend directing rne to the use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN, Philadelphia. From the Rev. rnos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of Roxhorough Baptist Church. Dear Sir : I feel It due to your excellent prep aration, Hoofland's German Bitters, to nod my testimony tothe deserved reputation It has obtained. I have for years, at times, been troubled with great disorder in my head and nervous system. I was advised by a friend to try a bottle of your German Bitters. I did bo and have experienced great and unexpectej relief; my health has been very materially benefltted. I confiden ly recommend the arti cle where I meet with cases similar to my own, and have been assured by many of their good’ effects. Respectfully yours, T. WINTER, Roxhorough, Pa. From Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Re formed Chnrcb, Kutztown, Berks County I’a. Respected Sir: I have been troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and have nev er used any medicine that did so much good as Hoofland's Bitters. lam very much improved in health, after having taken five bottles.
