LitchfeM County only one Senator!
MR. EDIroR-
take the berIy, through the med uro Of your pa
per, To 1qurc VII, the represenauoH gfthe large and
populous County # L,,chfed, the Senate Of this
State, has been reduced to single memberi Why
did certain choice spirits induce His Majesty King
Caucus make ordes TO that effect in the spring
Of 1927 in direct opposition TO Imlnemoria usage 2
Was the turn of the County Of Hartford to have
one Senator! And vas not the arrangement herein
deprecated the result of intrigue, and entered into
defeat the cicctio" of Hon. Homer Boardman to
seat IN the Senate Why has His Majesty of the
broken Scept,e made the order for the ensuing
year Is this a permanent dpcreei that LitchfeId
County, th population of rising of forty thousand,
shall have only one Senator! or was it adopted with
view to exclude from the Senate some Of our respec-
table republicans in the north part Of the County
qualy well qualified for the office with present
excellent Senator! How long shall we submit TO this
dsgracefui dictaton? Shall we not come forth to
man, and crush atoms the prospects of these ntr-
guers by giving a rigorous support to the CAUSE OF
DIsTRICTING, thus effecuay securing to this County
an adequate representation in the senate.
A REPUBLICAN.
The English "iree trahc' politicians appear to
have given up the preten led idea of excluding Amer
lean Cotton from their Market and have contented
themselves with e,yng duty upon such of the arti
Gle arrives their ports in foreign vessels thus
deavorng the trade between the two coun-
tries entirely British shipping This, first view,
may be called terrible blow to the American ship
ping interest, the party which can secure cargo
both ways can certainly afford to carry freight much
cheaper than the party which loads half Of the time
with ballast. If American bottoms cannot carry cot
England, they cannot carry any thing there and
of course if they go out in ballast for the pur-
pose of procuring return cargo, the odds will be de-
cdady in favor Of English bottoms, which can, by
| means of cotton, procure freight both ways. John
Bull may have terrible big and voracious belly for
aught we know but Jonathan's head is as long
his, and this time we think will lie found trife
longer. American Cotton will 60 to England, and it
will also go in American vessels: and this notion of
taxing such thus arrives there, will operate entirely
in favor of Cotton Manufacturers The duty will
raise the price of the material in England and of
course enhance the price of the fabric. TO meet
to ship cotton England upon equality with their
competitors Congress can, and doubtless will levy an
export duty upon the article, allowing drawback up
on such is landed in foreign port in American bot
toms; and this drawback will enable merchants
to meet the duty which England has imposed upon it,
and thus the article will be thrown into the British
market upon par with that carried in British bot
toms, while treasury will be enriched at the
pense of our good brother Bull. This diplomatic
warfare is unpleasant, and must eventually produce
very great change in the Commercial! world. Eng
land, however, began the business by excluding al
most every article of American growth and manufac-
ture from her market, with the exception of cotton,
which she mast have thus forcing us to pay an ann
al balance ofsome ten twelve Millions in cash, for
her manufactures; and this too when cotton can he
manufactured in this country cheap as in any part
ofthe world, -when climate and soil are admra-
bly, adapted for the growing of wool, and our numer-
| Gus streams presenting water power, for manufac-
turing purposes, compared to which the streams OF
England dwindIe into insignfcance. As nation we
have every advantage for becoming great manufac-
turing, agricultural, and commercial people-combi-
ned advantages not possessed by any other people
the globe.

Loss Of the ship Oeno.-The Nantucket In
quirer gives at length the particulars of this
melancholy case of shipwreck and massacre.
She sailed from Martha's Vineyard on the
| 4th of Nov. 1924, for the Pacific. on IA wha-
ling voyage. and was wrecked on the 18th Of
April following, on Turtle Island, one of the
Feejee clusters. The account is from letter
from the only survivor, Vim. S. Carey, dated
"Fejee islands, Feb. II, 1898" The vessel
was last from New Zealand, when she struck
on reef in the night; and the water being
| found all in foam, the three boats were low
cred, and the officers and crew got safely TO
the land. after rowing or 5 leagues. They
were hospitality treated BY the natives for a
| bout two weeks: when a tribe of savages ar
