Extract from gov. 7RUABULL'S speech,
aehoered at the opening of the Session Of
the Connecticut Legislature.
At our special session in February last,
sundry matters of public business were in
contemplation, which we had not time then
to mature and complete, and which of course
lay over to another session. Since that, and
within a short time, you will have seen a
proclamation from the president of the u.
States, announcing, that the British Orders
in Council of January and November 1907,
will have been Withdrawn, as respects theU.
States on the 10th day of June next-and
declaring, that after the 10th day of June
next, the trade of the u. S. and c. Britain,
which has been suspended by an act of con-
gress, ~interdicting all commercial inter
course between the United States and G.
Britain and France, and an act laying an
embargo on all ships and vessels III the ports
and harbors of the United States. and the
acts supplementary thereto may be renewed.
While we rejoice in this change Of circum-
stances in our exterior relations, it will rest
gentlemen, with your prudence and discre-
IIOIl W QEICILiIlllC WIidL Iut LltSi LlCdSUICS, IL
any, will be expedient to US to adopt, at this
time, for asserting the claim, and securing
the exercise of our future commercial rights,
without such durable embarrassmcnts and
interdictions, as have been lately experience
ed by the several acts of congress, laying an
embargo, and suspending our intercourse
with foreign nations, ~,
The recent.events which have occurred
on the eastern continent, whereby it would
seem that providence is still proceeding in
its course, of overturning and Furnishing for
their sins, the ancient kingdomssof western
continental Europe, are calculated to read
to us, in these ends of the earth, important
lessons of wisdom and caution in our con-
duct and May, eventually under the d.
rection of a wise and overriding influence,
be the means of producing much political
good to this nezv and extensive. continent;
and under the guidance of a liberal magma
nimity and sound policy, may serve to Sc
cure to these United States many beneficial
and estlnable effects. But the particular
circumstance which may arise from these
events, are beyond our foresight, and must
be left to the future disclosure OF a wise and
overruling providence.

ton and feeling. With the exception Of
two or three, we believe not a newspaper
has expressed itself dissatisfied with this
happy reconciliation the federal prints as
well as everyfederalist, hail it with unfeign-
ed pleasure. {
The facility with which this event was ct
fected augurs most favorably for the new
administration. 1t indicates, we rejoice to
say, a disposition unshackled byforeign par
~tialities ; aspirittruly national |; and an en-
ergy of decision infinitely .tr~anscending the
wayering imbecilities which for eight years
have paralized our councils and dlsgraced
the nation. Whilst these traits OF honora-
bic character are maintained while Presl-
dent Madison thus pursues the strait TOR
ward course of Washington, not a soul who
reveres that venerated name but will with
heart and hand supportasuccessoron whom
his mantle has descended. Making the
sure land marks Of that illustrious states
man his guide, party distinctions will be for
cotton, and the reyerie OF his predecessor
we are all federalists, we are all republi-
cans" will no longer be a fiction, but settle
itself into historical truth.
Those who from principle opposed his e.
deviation, experimenting that he was pledged
to the same fatal system which. had stiRed
our prosperity, will be among the foremost
to give efficacy to his measures when devils
ed by a liberal and practical policy. For
it is a truth which should be thoroughly un-
derstood, that measures, not men, are the
object of solic;tude and provided the ho-
nor and welfare Of the union arc maintained,
the collective body of federalists, without
stopping to analyze his polical creed, will
~ioyfully admit that he who performs this
good is sufficiently orthodox. This first
5 conspicuous act of Mr.. Madison's presiden-
cy bears the stamp Of enlarged views taken
by itself it is entitled to great praise in re-
ference to and as indicating the future, It'll
immensely important it naturally and al
most irresistably creates agreeable antici-
patlons and whilst prudence forbids that
these should yet become sanguine, each ge-
nerous mind will contemplate the prospect
g as one having faith"
~ We perceive with how much ease and ex-
petition a compromise Of our differences
with England is effected, so soon as our 60
vernment manifests an amicable disposition ;
and that precisely the same terms are now
accepted as perfectly satisfactory, which
were offered to and elected by the Jeferso-
Mon administration.

Probably no event since the peace which
secured our independence, has difused 9
Joy SO general as the restoration OF harmo-
nv between this country and Great Britain.
The intelligence has been every where vel
coined with reclamation, and, In numerous
places, by the ringing Of bells, military pa
rades, and discharges of artillery. The pub
lie prints have also no less unequivocally
responded these demonstrations OF JOY, and
for once even the discordant materials Of

DIED on the 18th inst. at his seat Of RAJ
vensworth, WILLIAM FITZHUGH,
Esq. Of Chatham, in the Goth year of His
age-late President Of the Washington So
cisty.
It has often been our task to record ths
story Of departed worth. /; but in the present
instance virtuous life of more than half
century, forms too proud eulogium, to
need our humble praise.
IS When the hero, the statesman, or tho
patriot, have left the scene OF their earthly
glories, science, and the arts do homage to
their same-bus when,he good man dies,
the man whose character embraced tho
hightess attributes of Humanity, and whose
life has passed in the practice of virtue,
then let the affections OF postetity consecrate
his memory, aud his excellent example be.
come the theme of future praise.
The estimable man, who has now lefe
us, could have but few enemies he. had
many friends. In the various duties of an
husband, parent, master and friend, the
purity Of his life, will stand the test Of all
enquiry. He is now gathered to his fathers
and when arraigned at the awful tribunal
of eternal happiness, the prayers of the
many whom his fire has warmed. his boun~
ty fed, and his charity relieved, will plead
his cause with grateful energy and obtain
that boon, which his virtues have so truly
deserved !, while his remains will rest a
mcng us in spot endeared by his rencm-
brance whose yerdant turf will be viewed
with grateful sympathy and the poor, the
unfortunate, the servant, and the slave, on
passing by shall give to his memory, the
tribute Of tear.
