In our remarks Introductory 10 nm extract from
the report or the Directors Of the Hartford
Asylum, which win be found on our 6rst page,
we stated that the proposition Ter establishing
an Institution ~ our State, f0F liLr proposes
with the existing one 10 Hartford, was reiec-
led ~ our Legislature. This statcmC1t was
perhaps. too unqualified i1r a resolve was
passed approprating $500 % be applied M
der tile direction III the Governor aud Coun-
Gil Tor the purchase Or erection Of baihiHgs,
and TIE support and education 0f The d8f and
dumb who might be placed therein, undsr like
direction. The perfect inadequacy 81 this
sum Tor such purposes and the iuPfaCaCabii-
~ Of the scheme was 50 manifest thaf PROV
% was introduced, authorizing the Gov. and
Council 60 apply the whole sun, Or any part
thereof 70, tie benefit ~ proper subjects from
thus State, who might be placed AZ aus other
ass lum, ia case oHe coul not be established
IN this State. Probably the resolve would not
have passed had il not contained this latter
provision, without which il would have been
perfectly nugatory. The original plan was
therefore rejected il substance, II not ia form.
Tentriloq,nsm.-Mr TAYLOR, a celebra-
ted NentTiloquist, is now in this town, and
will give an exhibition Of bis powers on We'd
nesday evening next The Quebec Gazette,
announcing bis performance, states "that he
had been in the highest degree successful in
Montreal, and that the display Of bis eXtraor-
binary art was pleasing and astonishing"
We ada the following from the Montreal
Courant.
We have heard Mr. TATLoR's powers III
this astonishing and incomprehensble ant
the manner which he conveys Tor seems 20
C0nvey) bis voice into other places from that
in which he is situated, is truly astonishing,
and can only be appreciated by those on the
spot The CollOquy, where the voices Of a
number are initiated, is really excellent, and
although the evidence Of our own senses are
against il, we can scarcely avoid believing
that an illusion exists, and that the whole y
tho effect Of some supernatural agency.
mr.. Crawford Our principle objection to
the promotion Of this gentleman TO the pres-
dency, may as well be stated explicitly. II isI
to the party that supports him. We know
many men Of the first respectabiIity-men of
fair minds aud honorable feelings, are ID bis
favour, and we make them exceptions to these
remarks but the great body ofhis supporters
are what are termed RADICALS. They are
the ambitious and the disappointed Of all par
ties. They are those who have always been
most forward ia widening the differences of
political opinion, and exasperaiiHg the spirit
Of party upon all occasions. There are men
in the Federal party, who, il il believed, new
er wish to see It rise again, unless they can
rise with Il to the top. There are many men |
in the democratick party who are not CON
tent with their complete numerical triumph, !
because, though their party may as such bc |
victorious, they, as individuals, have gained /
nothing BY their noise. These are what We I
understand by Crawfordites and though he 4
may be an honest man, he must, II he becomes |
President, be ruled by such men. III that be \
the case, how long shall We boast, in the eyes
Of the world, the excellence Of our institutions /
and the virtue, the happiness, and the pros |
perity Of our country The republican |
simplicity Of our beautifully nodded consti- |
luton, OF which we talk so loudly, will at
tract a more minute and scrutinzing look /
from the political ship carpenters Of other
countries they will see the intrigues that |
have been hammered and caulked into herl
seams and crevices; they will examine the
corrupted water 10 her biIge, and quarantine 4
her even in the sickly ports Of Europe.
