don County meeting la the place of Mr..
Dean, Of Stonington, a man who presents
no outward appearances Of having been
born Senator, but who is recommended
to the friends Of the other Ticket by his
vote last spring against the District bill.
Mr.. Niles, is an old republican, was a
member of the last Legislature, is in favor
of Distric1ng, and was nominated at the
Hartford County meeting. The reason
why we do not support two candidates in
Hartford County, will more fully appear
by communication in another column re-
commenting Mr.. Smith for NewHaven
County.
Mr.. BoGrdman, of New Milford, is an
old uniform republican of good talents
is brother of the late Hon. Elijah Board
man--is farmer who applies himself stead
lily to-his business-but has been frequent
ly employed in public affairs. He was
Principal Assessor for LitchfeId County
during the late war. Mr.~Boardman has
not been nominated by any meeting, nor
is it supposed that the Office of State
Senator is one which he has any anxious
wish to obtain but many Of the infu-
entail republicans of that County, whilst
they entertain sentiments of friendship
aud respect for Mr.. WEIGH, still prefer
Mr.. Boardman,as gentleman who may
be more useful in that Office, not having
suffered so much by the weight of years as
Mr.. WEIGH. Mr.. WEIGH has been SEN
ator for several years and has uniformly
declared himself opposed to Districting.

WnnJIFN RITI

II will be recollected that on the motion
in the Senate TO Law this bill upon the table
the Senate were equally divided, 20 for, 10
20 against the motion. Mr.. Calhoun, pre-
siding as Vice President, gave his casting
we've, and thereby defeated the bill. Mr.. c
was once the scGrm advocate of domestic
manufactures, g. great proportion Of his
former popularity was founded on his
known and avowed opinions in favor of the
American policy. He has now cut the only
tie that bound N. England to him. He acts
on the true principles of the opposition--to
oppose whatever Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Clay
are, known to favor. The opposition in
Congress have defeated the bill and they
and Gen. Jackson are entirely welcome to
all the credit it will give them with the peo-
pie, the manufacturing and especially the
agricultural portion of whom, will remem-
Der it in the day Of election.
Intoleroncc.--In Boston recently, Bishop
Fcnwick of the Catholic church, refused to
let Mr.. Burnham, member of that church
bury his child in the catholic burying ground
because DIR. jerks, a protestant minister
had made prayer at the funeral.
Relief of the Greeks.-The elegant ship
Chancellor was to sail from N. York on
Saturday last, with corn meal, flour, rice, &c
for the Greeks. Mr.. Miller, who has spent
three years in Greece, goes out in the
vessel, to take charge the supplies. The
cargo is estimated at $4,000. A second
vessel will soon be dispatched.
The treasurer of the Greek fund in Bos-
ton has received over $4,000.

continue to ply between the two cities
for the season. The navigation is now
uninterrupted and vessels arrive and de-
part daily from our wharves-the travel
ling is becoming good and our streets as
sumo again the appearance of business.

It is p' 'obably known to M ost ot our

that he was willing to take strong
measures IN order 10 defeat tlte. .re-etec
tson Of Mr.. adams. We never be.
Iicved that it waa likely that the ru-
moar noticed in the Reporter conld
be correct; but as it undoubtedly
must have had considerable influence
upon the result Of the election, we are
happy to ben able to state, that we
have seen letters from the person
whose name was disclosed by the Edi
tor OF the Reporter, and who is known
to be . personal friend of one of the
other candidates for Representative. ia
which letters he explicitly states that
Mr.. eastman did not declare tn him
such sentiments as was .al'edged in the
Reporter that he had , aud farther, that
he has M good reason to doubt that Mr..
