 "An intelligent correspondent assures us that there are but live republicans of the thrty-eight repre- sentatives from Litchfeld County"
 Hartord Times.
 What bag of wind to blow hot and blow cold" IS urfIiend Wells. Why the preceding column from which the above is aken the editor says that every man who opposed the regular ticket is "federalist," and by parity ofreasoning every who supported this ticket is "demOcrat." Now from his own pa- per we learn that Roxbury, Kent New-MiIford, and Woodbury, are the only towns in the county which gave even tolerable support to the Jackson ticket in the two former of which they certainly have federal representatives called, and in the latter one ede- ralist and one democrat, from each How is this Mr. Wells,-Kent gave her whole Senatorial vote for your ticket with the exception of little falling off from your patron Miles, and yetyou say she has fed eral representative The fact is, some one has been hoaxing you with the story that there are five Jack democratic" representatives elect from this coun- y, when the truth is there one and as to there being but fue republicans elected there are trty-six at least, and good and true as ever breathed the air offreedom-men who will serve the state to the entire acceptance of their constituents and in ex act accordance with their oath support the consttu ton. fyou want better republicans than such men, why then go to Tennessee and get them.
 The complaints which some men make on account of the result the late election are perfectly rdcu
 ous. The freemen, it appears, went to the polls and l fn1 c,,chn E,n oE,.oa l of, some preferring one and some another.--- l All share alike in the burdens of government, and all possess the same right of snffrage The minority may feel mortified and chagrined at defeat but they have right scod and call names unless they willing to be still more in the minority at the next election. Their complaints being made against reemen, whom they cannot disranchise w,ll not op- crate to their advantage in the least. The majority must and will govern; and in enlightened and vr- 1 uous community, when freed from the shackles of party discipline, they will always govern well. So far l from the republican party being broken or weakened by the late election, believe it has just began to ! exert its own proper and sautary influence in the | state. Caucus dctation is at an end
 l From the Noraoaik Gazette, a democratic paper good one.-The editor of the Times very serious. y asserts that large portion of the republicans of this state are friendly to the election of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency, and calls upon all to come forward and unite m his cause, the only remaining hope the last stay of democracy. Really, we had no idea that things had come to such pass in this land of steady habits We are indeed in sad box, but cheer up, dear sir, the crss over, and the less trouble you give yourself on the occasion now and hereafter the more comfortable you will be. Gen. Jackson's chance Tn Connecticut is not worth speaking of and so far from having majority of republicans in his fa- nmh ontIo thor1 porters In this county [Farfeldl which is more de. c'dedy republican than any other the stae he has, comparatively, no advocates, and those that he has belong generally to the other party.
 The Hartford Times, speaking of the late election and the success which attended the Peoples Tick et," says
 "Ths is m keeping with the spirit of the times. and the present is the reign of corruption and political R. postacy; of trmmers and tme-servers; when politi- cal integrity and public vrtue the only conspcu- ous marks for the shafts of caumny and the scurrous abuse of corruponists and gamesers and times ers hs IS truly the reign of corruption and the day for political apostaes knaves and hypocrtes. 1.-the country cannot be redeemed from this political and moral degradation, the ofts glory must be consd- cred m it's decline, and institutions fast degenera- ung and corrupting into olgarchy of pow er SUD- ported by the most vena and corrupng influence, ,and the scurrlity and delusion of the people,"
 ItwouId hardly seem possible that a decent paper, calling itself republican, would foul it's columns with such nfamoas calnmnies upon our beloved country as is contained in the above We really cannot conceive what its editors hope to gain by such course. They dip their pen in gall, and with spirit akin to that of devils, utter language against the greatest men in the and which trust but few of our citizens are SO fa
 len as to deserve. And who the men that are thus condemned ? They statesmen who have grown gray in the service of their couniry-men who were the coworkers with Jefferson and Madison and Mon roe-men who have elevated our country to rank in fifty years, which even Washington could not have anticipated in an hundred ito state of prosperity the most unexampled.-a prosperity which has ena- bed it pay off in three years more than thirty million dollars of the national debt besides supporting all the different branches of government, and expend- ing about twelve millions for the purposes of internal | improvement. And who is the man that thus week after week, is attacking and vilifyng his country r. We would not mention him. were it not that certain men in this county, who claim the right of being poe | tca dictaors, ,"-few and feeble, we are reoiced to 1 be able to say-quote the Times as the o,Lv pure | mouth-pece of Connecticut democracy.-lu Jeffer- sons day he was mewlng and puking in his nurses arms and but few years since, HOtspur at one of our Military Schools; and now, forsooth, with all his nexperience and boysh rashness about him, he thun- state, because they disposed to take care of their own concerns in their way, and even our great est American statesmen do not escape the venom of his pen. But let him fret like certain species of | the canine race, the more he grOws, the poorer he grows The soil of Connecticut is not congenial to
