 At a meeting of the Field and Brigade Staff Off. cersof the 9th Brigade held in this place Tuesday the 2Oth inst for the purpose of designating by ballot proper person to fill the vancancy occasoned by the death ofBrigader General Crafts, Colonel CHARLES F. SEDGwICK, of Sharon, received the greatest num- bcr of votes, and accordingly stands nominated for the office.
 The following Is one of the regular toasts which were drank on the evening of the 9th inst. by the members of the Jackson MddIetown Convention, while trying the strength of their mastcators at sup- per table spread for the occasion and tickling their palates with choice Madeira.
 "IHe State Of COnnecticut-She will soon awake, and cast off her delusion."
 Now we were at first sadly puzzled to discover the meaning of this toast. Connecticut twill soon a. wake." And is the old lady really asleep? If SO, she must "snore genty,'' else she would thsha given paipabe evidence ef her somnolency, much to the qualification, presume, of certain dcmagogues who have in the mean while taken advantage of her somni6ck disposition and confined her with the cords of their cunning, erst in the olden tune wicked woman bound Samson, while he slept. And we knew not but what some of these demagogues had as- ccnded the Pisgah of prophecy, and scanning the lt- turc had discovered that the time rapidly ap- preaching when Connecticut would ''awake," and arising m her night like 'him of Gaza," would burst the cords which fastened upon her. Then a. gain we did not know but it mig ght possibly this -Rne ten,hs of the enlightened freernen ofthis sate who have supported patriotic, intelligent, and expe- rienced Statesman for the Chief Magisracy of the Union, instead of a successful Warrior merely, were acting under deusion, while wei e. the mem bers of the Convention-are the only who have had eyes open full sense of the superior quail 6cations of Andew Jackson compared with the abil- ites ofhis competitor, John Quincy Adams, and who have been actuated entirely by patriotic and disnter- esed motives. But then, thought we, this cannot be the fact: the Jackson are too modest and unas- suming to make any claims to exclusive patriotism the Jackson papers in this state have manifested al- together different disposition, during the late test There is not one of the Jacksonians who com posed the Convention, but what would blush as red the wine with which the sentiment was washed down. at the y2rv thought of such an assertion.
 At length we have come to he conclusion that the nough been represented in the councils of the nation by nen of Str0ic mere "doug faces" taduo!cs of the puddle of political nsgniGcancy, who have exhibited ot that oftness and independence of spirit be- coming the representatives of the intelligent and
 
 tergiversatons have obtained for them the humiating epithet of 'whte slaves" There is only ono cir connected with the proceedings of this as semblage of worhies that stands in the way of this n ference; and that is the nomination that they made out. However, the toast only says "she will a. wake;'' and they probably intend to ensure the of this ticket while the state is yet sumberng in morbid insensibility.
