CONNECTICUT.

Extract from Cor. Wooicoft's Speech.
The legislature of Connecticut met in New-Haven
on the Sd inst. for the first time under the new
constitution David Plant was chosen speaker,
and Ansel Sterling and Nathan johnson, clerks
After the house was organized his excellency
Gov Wooicott delivered speech before that
body. After stating that he had received GER
tain declarations of the legislature of Virginia,
denying the right of Congress to inhibit slavery
in the new states the following judicious remarks
occur:-
" 1t cannot have escaped your observa
ton, that diversity of habits aud prin-
|cipies Of government exist In this country /;
and / think ii is evident that slavery is
gradually forming those distinctions, which
according to invsriable laws Of human
action, constitute the characteristic differ
ence between aristocratical and demo-
cratical republics.
Wherever agricultural labor is wholly
or chiefly performed by slaves it must
constitute the principal revenue OF the
community. The owners Of slaves mus,
necessarily be the chief owners Of the
soil; and those labourers who are too poor
to own both, though nomipally free, musI
be dependent on an aristocrasical order
aud remain without power or political 10.
huence 10 the state.
All our experience illustrates the
truth of these remarks. Connecticut ha:
long been among the first Of the coloniziae
states. The soil, climate, and price O
lands in Maryland and Virginia, are high
ly inviting to our agricultural emigrants
yet they are invariably seen to prefer
settlements in more remote and compare
lively announcement situations. They ars
only deferred from settling 10 these states
by the vicinity of a slave population, and
by incidental institutions, which wouIt
require remuneration Of their habits, ant
the political privileges which they have
been accustomed to enjoy, and to which
they are inviolably attached.
. The territorial limits of the state
where slavery is permitted, are already
far more extensive, and their lands pro
baby more fertile, than in those where i
| is interdicted. Slavery is unfavorable I,
a compact population, and 10 improve
lments in the arts; and the mode Of cnl
tivation usually practised, tends to pro
mote rapid expansion Of new settlements
greatly exceeding just proportion Of tn
comparative masses Of population. Al

From a London Paper.


THE LATE BENJAMIN WEST, Esq. PR. s.
Mr.. West has left two sons, on whom
his property will devolye. This princi-
paily consists of numerous works from his
own pencil, and some choise specimens Of
the old masters, particularly OF Titan ;
the whole valued at upwards OF 100, 0o0i.
This distinguished artist was born at
Springfield, in Chester county, Pennsyl
yania, on the 10th Of October, 1898. BY
his fathers side he was lineally descended
from Lord Delaware, who distinguished
himself in the wars of Edward the Third
and at the battle Of Cressy, under the
Black Prince. Colonel James West, the
friend aud champion in arms Of the cele.
brated Hampden, was the first Of the
family who embraced the tenets Of the
Quakers. The maternal grandfather o.
the artist, Thomas Pearson, was the we'll
known confidential friend of William
Penn. Yhe object which first called
forth and discovered the genius Of West,
was that Of sleeping infant, whom ht
one day was placed TO watch in the ab
sence of its mother, he being then abou
seven years old. The child happened tt
smile 10 its sleep, when he was SO forcibly
struck with its beauty, that he seized
pens. ink and paper, which happened tt
lie by him. aud endeavored TO delineete 4
portrait, though at this period he hat
never seen an engraving or picture
The year after he was sent 10 school 10 I'll,
lueighbourhood. During his hours o
leisure he was permitted TO draw with per
aud ink, for it did not occur to any of thu
family to provide him with better mate
rails. In the course Of the summer {
party Of Indians came to pay their annua
| visit to Springfield, who being amused

what is expressed by thai significant

as we value the love aud prayers Of Chris

confidence 10 God and derive happiness
from him, independently Of all created
beings. But the missionary who cannot
do this, when he is separated from his ac-
customed means Of happiness, must be
wretched indeed. What can he enjoy
Whittier can he look for a support or for
peace ? But if he has learned to live above
this world, and feels above It's frowns and
batteries, its favors aud its vexations, and
TO live upon the favor Of God and the love
of the Lord Jesus, then, wherever be
shall go, be may be happy, his portion.
bis all will still be with him.
May it be your privilege, my dear sir,
and mine, aud that of every missionary. to
live with God. This will be the last
pledge of our usefulness, and the best Sc
curity of our happiness.
In SO days after leaving Boston, we
reached Malta, tarried there IL days.
and came thence to this place iu 6 days,

tell you much about our prospects, here.
What Information we gained at Malta, was
highly favorable and encouraging.
This place was once blessed with a
church which was highly commended by
the Saviour.

A USEFUL HINT.
[Alb. Daily Adp.


He who treats sacred things with any
degree of levity and scorn, is acting the
part, perhaps without his seeing or
knowing it, ola public enemy to society.
He is precisely the mad-ma described
in the book of proverbs, who casteth
fire brands, arrows and death {; and
saith am ] not in sport. We shall hear
him at times, complain loudly of the
undutifulness of children, Of the disho.
nesty Of servants, of the tumults and
insolence cf the iower ranks, while he
himself is, in great measure, respen.
sible for the disorders of which he com.
plains. BY the example which he sets
of contempt for religion, he becomes &C.
cessary to the manifold crimes which
that contempt occasions among Others.
BY his scottius at sacred institutions,
he is encouraging the rabbIe to uproar
and violence he is emboldcning the
false witness to take the name Of God
in vain; he is in effect, putting arms
into the hands of the highwayman, and
letting loose tie robber in the streets
by night.

SPAIN.

II is with sincere pleasure we announce to
all those that feel just interest in the honor
Of our country that the minister OF state OF the
Spanish government, on the Goth June last,
officially communicated to our minister, Mr..
Forsyth. al Madrid, the information that Fer
eiaand VII. had approved, in the most am
pie form, of the liquidation made by the
council or iunta, which he had appointed to
examine and report upon the claims OF Mr..
Meade declaring that the nation was bound
20 pay the full amount verified by the COM
missioners to be due, together with interest
at the rate of six per cent per annum, agree
ale to ,hs award, till the whole amount De
discharged. This intelligence would seem
10 indicate disposition to pursue policy
towards The United States different from that
which has governed the court of Madrid for
many years-and that IN all probability the
new government may recognise the claims OF
all our fellow citizens, and lead to the rat'h-
cation 9th treaty which makes provision
s.r the payment Of claims so long suspended
