 We hardly know what the editor meansin speaking of the slaughter of demOcrats; the paragraph was nnquestlonably written while smarting under the de- feat political slaughter he received from the re- pubicans of Glastonbury, who had the hardihood to elect an "Adams amagamation federalist" as their representative instead of taking Jackson man from the Hartford Times office, in the person of Gideon 1 Wells, as they did last year.
 The assertion that the "democr; tic party is broken down, and the call upon all'true democrats unite in the of Jackson" explains itsel suppose,
 in meaning that the of JacksonIsm is desperate in Connecticut but that, nevertheless, it being more important to contend about known principles, than about obsolete party names, every man should now out openly for Adams for Jackson, and let the measures connected with these two names be hereat- ter the only ground of contention. The advice IS very good indeed, but it comes "One day after the fair" a majority of the freemen acted upon ths very principle at the late eecton the result Of which seems to have wounded the editor so sorey. But "better late than never :" all we .Sk of Mr. Wells IS that he will stick to this position it is the ground we have gone upon for the last few years, and we are heartily reoiced to it extending itself: and we hope it will soon be az extensively practised upon in this state, in all the other states of the union
 We are sorry to see any republican paper hold out the idea that most of our republicans in favor of Gen. Jackson. The fact is not so, but far otherwise
 flor the great body of republicans of this State are the decided friends of the National Administration. It is in vain deny this, it be established by a. bundant facts. We find DO fault wth republicans be- they are friendly to General Jackson; for they have a right to their own opinions But when few find themselves in a small minority they should not
 like the juror call the eieUen crooked and obstinate men, because they differed from him, for there IS chance that the eleven may be right.-Register. From the Neso- -Hapen Chronicle.
 The late election in this State has resulted in a manner which will satisfy any reasonable man that the old party distinctions of federal and democrat have become obsolete An algamation has, rejoice to say, taken place.

Barber, do not put words in the mouth -four friend Wells which he used, and had no thoughts of using. You have made him to say 'the lullaby of mo party;'" and the Times from which you copied the above now lies before us where the sentence in plain black and white reads, the lullaby song of Administration This alters the case a trife we fancy. It appears you wanted to give paS sng shot upon federalists and have most unwiuingy MduC HC vcFy WHO you ds

 cle and other federalists that democracy "has be- come obsolete" in Connecticut, for we believe it will again display itself, and like democratic brethren
 in other states will be found enlisted in the of ] Jackson.
 It appears that brethren ofthe political prin ciples' [do notl Larbor the most harmonious feel ngs towards each other," although the Regis9 wouki fan makeits readers believe that such is the fact h our humble opinion the leaders of Mir.

 In the present condition of parties in this country, to talk of "federalists" and republicans" in the sense in which those terms were formerly used in | summatc imposition No honest man at all given to politics, who does not wilfuy shut his eyes can look ] around him and not perceive, that all party associations are broken up: that men who in other days acted m opposition now cooperate, and that for mer co-operatOrs are now opposed. Generations have sprung up since the occasion and causes of old parties ceased, and those who by helr votes and personal efforts, determine elections have for the most par,ss little knowledge oas they have sympathy with the quarrels of '98-Or of other cabaStic period

 four readers can substitute the word Times for Ar- gs and then the paragraph will be exactly suited to the political latitude of Connecticut1
 Dough Face."-We percieye that upon almost every important question pertaining to internal improvements, Mir. Senator Foot is found in the ranks of the Southern opposi- tion. How is this }? Will some one in the secret-sOme one who assisted in elevating this man to the Senate in opposition to Judge Bristol, explain the matter The most cha ritable construction we can put upon his con- duet is, that he was. previous to the political revolution in this state, "dough face," in most iO,lly neglecting the wishes of his con sttuents. upon the Missouri question, and that he has continued such until this day Let those who had hand in elevating such men to seats of such high trust and respons- bility answer for their conduct. The people have right to enquire into such business. and they have began to do this. Will our friend Barber give us some light upon this subject. Mir. Foot voted'against any appropriation to the surviving officers Ofthe Revolution, &c. &c.
