Extract of letter from Boston.
We have nothing new of political
nature, except the complete reformation
of our sister, Connectic,d.-Mr. WOLCoTT,
| the republican candidate, is certainly
| chosen by nearly One thousand MAORI
| ty. For the first time, in that noted state,
has " Repnblicanism and Toleratien,'
| trlumphed over Federalism and Arbitra-
| ry Priestcraft. The result of this election
chases the gloom which our own has oc :
caslOned, and encourages us to hope, that
| the time is not far distant, when Massa-
! chusetts Qike most of her sister states, }
| will rise, in the majesty of her strength,
| and PROSTATE, forever, the Details x PHI
Hstines who now bind her in the chains of
! folly and delusion. Defeated, as We have
| been, we do not despar-the republicans
| of this state, like their brethren in Con-
necticut, will perseverc TO the last, until
| they also have brought about the glorious
| era Of" Repu6licanism and Ioieration."
