Litchfield enquirer., 1829-04-02

1he Election for Governor, Senators, Members of Congress, and of tine Assembly, Ec. takes place in
 this state on Monday next. As this is the last paper that will be published previous to the result we have devoted more space to political matter than we are accustomed to do. than will probably hereafter be the case.
 In some respects, this election is very important one to the people of the state. An attempt is making, and we hope and trust it will be attended with entire success, to improve our Congressional Delegaton- For many years pas the Delegation in Congress from
 pnnecticut has been standing reproach to the inc teIgence, public spirit, and patriotism of the people, and to the honor and nteress of the state. It has in- deed sunk 30 low, that reform appears to have be- come indispensably necessary convince her sister states that she possesses any intellect at all capable of sustaining her rights, or vindicaiing her honor.
 That the candidates on the Improved Congression- al Ticket are competent of doing much towards rais- ing the character Of the state to higher elevation, requires at the present time abOured argument to prove They have been before the people sufficient length of time foI them to become acquainted with their public course. Four at least of the candidates l in examination are known to be men of acknowledged talents of unquestionabe 6rmness, and all of ire proachabe moral character-such men as are greatly needed give Connecticut that rank in the councils of,he nation which she ought to possess and which she formerly commanded.
 This ticket is not composed exclusively of any one political political party, but combines due proportion of each We trs therefore, that every elector, dis carding the trammels of party feelings and party pre-. jadces-and having the welfare of the nation and of his native state mainly at heart-wii feel it his duty to forward to tho polls with the determination Of voting according to the dictates of his own con- science Let him calculate whether tine candidate deserving of his support may have heretofore borne the party badge of republican federalist; off democrat tolcrationist put let the main inquiries be, "Is he honest? Is he cAPABLET'' Is he man with whom he would entrus the liberties of his coun- try? Is he who, when the honor of New England is assailed and traduced will be O;ng and able not only to stand up in her defence but to back upon the naughty and talented Southron his sneers and n- vectives and give him blow for blow, instead of cow eang under the insulting appelation of dough fa- ces"? Let the people do this; let them rise in their majesty and their ength, and Connecticut will come forth "redeemed, regenerated, disenthraled." |
 I tor of the Boston Statesman, the leading Jackson pa pe' in New-England, has been appointed (n the ab- seRCe Of tIss Postmaster General ia whom by Jaw the sole power is vested Postmaster of Boston, tn place ofAaron Hill, who took a modest hint and sent in ] his resignation.
 Andrew Dunlap, editor of paper in Providence, has been appointed Collector of that port. We hear nothing as yet of the certain appointment of new Postmaster for Hartford.
 1 John P. Erwin, Esq Postmaster at Nashville, Ten. has, it is sated been removed from office at the com mand Of the President. Who his successor is we do 1 not learn probably aome member of the celebrated whe-washng body-guard at Nashville. MT. Erwin is able man, faithful, diligent, and attentive the discharge of his duties. But from several circumsan ces, he has become peculiarly obnoxious not only to Gen. Jackson himself hut to most of his partzans in that vicinity. Mr. Erwin, it may be recollected, was formerly the editor of paper in Nashville which sup ported Mr. Crawford in preference to Gen. Jacksos but in the amalgamaton of the Jackson and Crawford parties after the election of Mr. Adams, he instead of supporting the union party, as it was anticipated he would, came out warmly and decidedly in favor ofthe then existing administration. For this independence the boodhounds of party have ever since been pur- suing hm, and urging all sorts Gf objections against him in order effect his removals but in vain, until the new President himself has caused t to be done. Besides the above objections to Mr. Erwin, however. he is distant connection of Mir. Clay; and this pro- bably in the view of the President, is paramount to every thing else that could be urged against him. Mir. Calhoun, the Vice President, left Washington on the 18th ult for his residence in South Carolna. Most of the Senators have already taken their depar ture; the Supreme Court has risen; and when the lawyers attending the court shall have left the city, observes the National Journal there will thea remain only fso hangeFs-on, waiting the final distribution of the loaves and fishes. It would appear from the Vice Presidents leaving the city, that he not sr has been au'horitatively stated, be considered men- Der of the new Cabinet.
 The following paragraph is copied from the Wash- ingsOn Telegraph. h will be sufficiently understood without word of comment or explanation.
 Intense anxiety, amounting to mpatience, is mani- tested iO all directions to the period when the pro- missed reform" is to commence, and the extent to which it will be carried. We only say, that we are convinced the President wil in due season, re- deem the pledge that he has made to the nation and which tt expects at his hand; and that good reasons exist for the momentary delay that is observed. He s fully sustained by his whole Cabinet in the course that he is pursuing. To repair the much abused and
