Republican Meeting at Bridgeport—Speech of Judge Culver—The Reconstruction Policy of Congress Approved—The Fenians Endorsed by the Republicans—Quast Support of the Showman, &c. Ee Bripcerorr, March 16, 1847, Judge EB. D. Culver, of New York, addressed a large republican meeting here to-night, In the course of his address he said:—I shal! go directly to the question of re- construction, which is the great one of the hour, I wish you to distinct!}¥ understand that while issues change and are modified, men, politicians particularly, remain the same. The Touceys and Seymours are to-day what they ever were. The Southern {States are like a dead man, A dead man cannot bring himself to life—he bas not the power to make the first move, Breath must be given bim anew, It is for Congress to breathe the breath of life into the dead States now ont of the Union, ‘The people of the Southern States took their States out of the Union because they willed it. They shall now come back only when we will it. (Applause.) Andy Jobnsgu’s plan of reconstruction is @ ope-horse plan, John3on has never made a step towards conciiating Congress, while Congress did once make euch a move towards him. The Congressional plan of reconstruction is not simply the wisdom of man; but it is dictated by an overruling Providence. In Con- necticut even to-day there are plenty of men who are willing to lay down on their bellies and bark three times for a cracker, and then be cheated out of the cracker in order to conciijate the South. The Congress of the pres- ent hour is unlike in its importance and integrity any which has assembled since the days of Genera! Washing- top, (Hisses and applause.) lt covered itself with re- nown on the 2d of March. The Fortieth Congress will not be a squirrel’s jump behind its immediate predeces- sor. The rebel leaders must be branded like Caso, 80 that no matter whero tee A SL what they do, nor what they say, earnestly or ive, oll people through all time sball know what they are. The unpardonable ‘crime which they have committed demands this. Three times the republican party bas been deceived in their Vice Preside Hereafter when the nominations are being made second horves will be woll looked after. It is time we looked crime in the face and criminals in tre eye, John Brown’s treason’ pales like the morni star before the rising snp to the treason of Davis an Toombs, Virginia tried John Brown. and hung bim. Providence is now trying Virginia, and those who wero most instrumental in the punishment of John Brown are now individually receiving a part of their reward. In this matter of reconstruction mingle the voices of our Roman mairons and Spartan mothers. Those who have sent son after son to the war, and have cither lost them on earth or had them wounded, now cry out, “To what end have I made these sacrifices if nobody is to be pan- ished?” We must bave guarantecs from the ud the guarantees must go in the fundamental law ‘the land, the constitution. As to the particular plan, the stone shall now become the etones, too, Thur. low Weed and Wm. H.

The proprietor of Joice Heth, Tom Thumb and Tom Thumb’s baby has risked the Rubicon, and ie in danger of being swamped in crossing, besides utterly effecting the denioralization of the republican party in the nutmeg State, Even the nutmeg dealers themselves are disgusted, and swear round Flanderian oaths that they will never vote for Barnum the hambug; staid old farmers whining with ‘Yankee twang, “Il cant vote for B-a-r-nam the showman; I'll be darned if 1 can.” and generally from all points of view—social, political and moral—the denizens of the wooden nutmeg and pumpkin seed State seom to be in a perfect condition of hub-bub and desperation, and all on account of a retail dealer in mermaids and monkeys, and because the dealer had greenbacks enough to buy nomination Congress, which commodity is sold in Connecticut for five dollars, and no trust. ‘Specie in advance” is the moto of te watmeg people; and ‘f'one bas ha | “Why,” asks the YaaKes, ‘should a real professor be nominated im one district end a desler in mermaids in is a good thing, fection in all things is the motto of the Yankee, and Peay pertection i humbug, Now consistency is an element Of perfection, and this the Yankee perceives ‘There i# a certain consistency in having the Nutmeg State ed sented in Congress by one who haa carried thimble- Tigging to the magnificent perfection of an exact scien to this magnificent perfection Barnum arti it, Therefore, reasons the Yankee—and very justly— P, T.

So great, however, is the demoralization in the republican ranks which has been cansed by his noméation that the issue of the canvass would stil be exceet- ingly doubtful, Meantime, the democrats are are jubilant, and expect to carry the State by a majority of at least two thousand for English, ° Beiting in Now Haven is two to one on English, and, owing to the weight that Hawley has to carry, with the showman on his back, these bets are not very frecly taken. Some few of the more audacious offer two to one on English for fifteen hundred majority, and upon these terms ers are freely Inid and the money put down. In this dist:ict (the New Haven) the opposition are confident of swelling their majority two thousand and two bundred—a considerable advance on that of any previous election since the beginning of the war—and leading politicians of the democratic 11k with whom I have con- versed declare that the nomination of Barnum has formed the most effective portion of their political capital.

Persons Wounded—Incendiary Fires, igo Canis, Pa., March 16, 1967, ‘Immediately after the closing of the polls ou Friday, at Carlisle, Pa, a difculty occurred between a certain portion of thecitizens and some cavalry recraite whereby ope person was killed and eight others wounded— one of them mortally, the others pretty severely. The recruits came from Carlisle Barracks, situate & istance of about one mile from the town, the head- ‘quarters of the cavairy of the United States and a traiping schools where young soldiers are taught the movements to fit them for cavalry service. The command generally consists of four companies, one of which called ‘the permanent troop, is composed of veteran soldiers+all Picked men, and the other three of recruits, who when properly qualified for duty are removed from the bar- racke to join their several regiments Between these , Tecruits and parties in Carlisle a bitter feeling bas existed for the past three years, during which period three of the soldiers have been killed in rows. springing ont of ‘this rancorous state of affairs. Stragglers from the bar- racks have undoubiedly, on occasions, given offence and caused trouble to citizens, but invariably when re- ported, they have been promptly punished by order of the commanding officer, General Grier, brother of Judge Grior, of the Saprem? Court of the United States, On the other hand it is well known that a gang of rowdies of the worst kind infest the town, and are the cause of anxiety tothe inbabitants and of immense damage to property, if not to life, These men have been the terror of peaceable citizens, and openly defy the law, whose officers are apparently powerless to keep them under control. Fires, the work of incendiaries, azo of nightly ocourrence, and so frequent and so de- signed that it is stated no company will insuro any of the barns or outhouses in and around Carlisle; and so tar has thie lawlessness been carried that, for their own protection, the orderly citizens have frequently sug- gested the Sconces of Pomniaing e viaiapee committee, Many of the buildings have yn fired more than once, One in particular, the property of a Mr, Rheems, as been attacked four times, ou the last occasion sugeessfully, when the building—a very fine public halli— wa¥ set on firein four different places, Tho barns of Judge Watts, considered very fine specimens of the kind, have been also destroyed within a short of time, as have several others, the property of persons obnoxious to these scoundrels, Conspicuous among the troublesome parties were three men named Gus Hamel, Pike Giimore and —— Hallen- angh, who aro described by citizens as having been the terror and the “bullies”? of the townsmen, who cared not for citizen or soldier, but insulted and abused both,as their bad and vicious minds prompted them at the moment, it is also asserted that young men, hitherto of good standing and respectable connections, have been led astray by those fellows, and now aid and abet them in all the deviltry that they practise, On Friday the election for pervs att officers was held in the town, and up to the closi the polls was, with oue exception, conducted orderly and peacefully, and the general remark was that it was one of the quictest elections ever held there. This exception was she course mp the three men above named, who from early morning distinguished themselves by their noisy and ruffianly conduct, and who seemed to havo taken full control of the town, did what they liked, abused and maltreated citizens, and were not interfored with by any of the civil authorities, and, as one old gentleman remarked, ‘they were completely allowed to have their fling.” Their actions were worse than riotous—they wero treasonable; “for, later in tho day, Hamel, tho leader, went through the streets hurrabing for ‘Wilkes Booth, the murderer of the President,” and the others were “bolloring” that they could ‘‘whip any bloody soldier or officer in Carltsle Barracks.’ Two of the recruits walking quietly down Louther street about six o’clock were set upon by these fellows and badly beaten. They went back to barracks, and soon afer returned to town with a refforcement of their comrade, and then a general melie ensued in which shots were exchanged on sidos, the solzers, how- er, being overpowered forced to rot. The usual evening patrol, sent Ut daily from barracks to pick up and arrest alt soldiers found straggling in the town, arrived, and v@re proceeding on thelr secus- tomed duty when they were fired upon, and the Ne ao informed the assailants he bad not come in to inter- fere with the citizens, but to arrest soldiers, Notwith. 1g this declaration the party continued to assail tue patrol with brickbate, revolvers and mur- kets. One of the soldiers was knocke down, trampied on beaten and hie gun taken from him. The guard then returned fire, and it was durioz this portion of the alfay that Mrs. Stewart and other citizens were wounded, The party opposing the mill- tary were not of the respectabie or peaceable class of citizens, but consisted of from filty to seventy-five men known to be persons of no peculiarly good reputation. SUM, in consequence of the noise end coufusion, many y citizens were innocently and involdatar:ly mingled with the crowd of roughs. The latter continued their aseauits on the guard, who rephed ne well as they were able, apd as last, after five out of fourteen of their party were disabled, they were obliged to fly for the barracks, hotly pursued by their cowardly assailants, Moan whale, report of the row having. reachod tho bar- “racke, Genera!

The General ordered Captain Kerin to take @ portion of the permanent tronps, ats one tuntred men, to the bridge, half way beiween tue town and barracks, with the instructions ‘to prevent any of the soldiers from entering, the town; to arrest any soldiers found in the town; to bo very careful not to come in, contlic: with the citizens except by request of the Civil authorities, and to be careful, under aii cit- cometwnces, to do nothing except in concert with the ‘Obedieut to these orders, the troop © vie anthorities,’”” forned nthor strect, near the bridge, : the” sergeant’s gual, the rioters, who. still w various missiles at the edioat to their officers, out replring.

Wing drills are ordered for this month at the State ar- senal, and a parade and field day in April. The colonel of the regiment has just issued an infantry hand book for the instruction of the non-commissioned officers of this command. It is what is needed.
