The Litchfield County post., 1828-10-23

thing else to say we shall eudeavOr derive from
the old world and the passing Of the new, mat
ter sufficient to iSll our ule sheet.
The election on the "a will be, ought to be, in
terestng every individual in the state the free
men are faithful to their oath, there will be no danger
Of jackson triumph in Connecticut-we could beat
our ambitious opponents they times as strong
as they are but there is another question, not con-
uected with the presidency which enlists much feel
ing both for its success and for its defeat-we mean
the District Bill This is measure which the peO-
pie have for uany years demanded Oftheir Legislators
with voice too powerful to be misunderstood; and
after much political chcanery, bill has been thrown
out for the approval rejection ofhe people. Wheth-
er there are any features in the Bill, we
certainly unable to say one thing however we do
know and say, that the enemies of this bill have
been the enemies OF every other bill that has been
proposed for the last years, at the same time that
they have the unbushng efrontery to say that they
are the ''friends of Disrcting, but do not like hiS
particular Bill" Another thing we KNOXVILLE Bill
now offered the people comes to them recommended
by the vote of more than thirds of the members
of one of the abes and most patriotic Legislatures that
Connecticut has been favored with for great number
of years-men WHO mad more personal interest in
the final success of the Bill, than every individual of
their constituents had, or now has-men who had no
selfish feelings to crafty, and whose only motive was
to he faithful to their oath, and to the people, whose
servants they were. There may he errors IN the bill,
but its cannot devise better, neither do they
wish do it-ther only object is to have the actual
appointment of Senators removed as tar from the peo-
pie as possible by having all nominations emanate
from Legislative Caucusses-,hey dread the measure,
as one fatal to all their ambitious hopes. Fault may
be found with certain provisions in the bill, and SO
has there been, and so will there he, with every other
bill which has been hereafter wiA be, drafted
Under pretence of friendship for the measure III
general, but of enmty to this and every other bill IN
particular, the real enemies 0t Dlstrctng have been
able to triumph the good sense Of the people so
far, and their hope is, by some MEANS TO triumph at
this particular crisis and then the question will be
settled for many years, and they relieved from load
of anxious political care for themselves The ques-
ton u.s. shall the people triumph, and hereafter, in re-
alty, well in name, bear rule shall the throne
of King Caucus be more firmly established, and his
DEGREES become like the claws of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS, which altereth not" We know who will trl-
umph if the vruous treemen of the do not
more for their farms and merchandise, on the 81 of
November than they do for the honor and future pros
perity of our commonwealth "a majority-anda ma
jority is all we want--are the fast friends OF District
ing; and if this majority will honestly come to the
polls, with YEA" written upon their ticket, we shall
hear no more Of the insulting commands OF hs Md,
night Maiestythe best will be put into Office land
they will be thus because the freemen will support
those men their several districts, whose charac tera
thew are acquainted with. Let the friends of the bill
remember that its enemies are active and vgllent-
and if the latter triumph it will be because the free
men sleep at their post, and thus neglect solemn
duty.
We would attempt to give an account of the Hart
ford County Agricultural Socety's Celebration held
during last week, five could do any thing like justice
10 the highly meritorious exercises on the occason,ln
a column or two and we have not even that much
ofroom spare, neither have time 10 make an abb
stract from the reports, published in the Hartford
papers.-Sufice it to say, the exhibitions OF mechan-
cal and manufacturing ingenuity and industry, of the
most remarkable products of the SOIL of valuable neat
cattle and other stock, and we may add, of an i'm
mense concourse OF happy, vrtuous yeomanry, was
such the best interests othe Society seemed to re-
qulre. From ths accounts published, we should sup
pose thai the exercises and exhibitions this occa
sion must have rendered the time thus occupied the
most intel est. ng and anmang "Holy-Days which
the agricutrast and the manufacturer can have, or
even desire have. Premiums awarded to the
amount of "a pretty liberal sum for one county
to bestow annually Tor the encouragement Of enter"
prise and industry. Sobriey, and OF course good
der, relgned trumphany upon the throne, too often
filled by Bacchus, and surrounded by the sons "i Be-
liol. We wish that Llchhed County, very iavOrite
residence OF industry and economy, would at least al
tempt to follow alter II she cannot go before, her good
sister Hartford We have done nothing Of the kind
this year, of general public nature, and is now too
late to make attempt al dong any thing except it
be to torn resolutions to get up the business with re-
neWed ardor for the next season. We are thorough
ly convinced that Agricultural Societies, with their
appropriate exhibitions, of great value in coun
try like this where the land is divided up into small
parcels and owned by the culivator, instead of some
wealthy landlord These societies tend to create
spirit OF emuatlon and ambition excel IN good far
ming; Improvements are thus constantly going on
the experience of one valuable farmer becomes known
and thus tends to enghten and enrich others, who
DESTROYS "t keeping some little pace with the on
ward march of knowledge and improvement. BY
Of well conducted societies, the sciences
made subservient to the arts and host of aen and
worth enlisted in the of agriculture which
would be Withdrawn from it, we're the cultivation of
the earth drudgery instead Of an honorable and re-
ally scientific employment
Perhaps it is owing to perverse taste, or eager
ness to learn some thing, that every week read
the egotiscai and pedantic works Of John Neal, as
given to the world In quarto sheet, entitled "The
Yankee, and Boston Literary Gazette published Al,
Portland, Boston, and for aught know, sundry 9TH
er places the Eastern Shore. II there any such
thing as taking or giving Literary Emetic we are
sure that the Yankee & B. L. G. would be the most
lnaibe in its effects, Of any work that has appeared
in this country since the publication Of the "Whim-
