MlDDLEToWN CONVENTION.


 This mighty mingling in the Jackson political cNul droO of "black spirits and white, bluc spirits and grcy" has u, length been held. is said thu, won. deri6 staring of tho Weagre assembOge took place be fore they ''proceeded to business" Wehave heard bu, little about it, however, ofcOnseqUcnce, except .ha,h was pretty much ofan abor,ion and therefore give the result in the words or ono or the menbers who, eren appears to be ashOmed Of the company in which he caught. Mr. Barber, editor of the New.llaven Register, presen, as delegate, and thus hs holds for,h:--
 "lMst Wednesday was the dOy appointed for the meeting Of delegates from each Senatorial Dssric, in the State a. Middle,own. We can say as man once said of the bNtc of Bunker llill-" was there, sir" Bu, unlike the soldier, can sOy very little tn favor Of tho result of tho last affair." In fac, we would not HNdc Co the meeting this week. wNs it no, that great number have inquired of us what was done, aud Q multitude Of others will probably trouble us or some. hO,ly else with similar impurities. We will merely state ,ha but % delegates appeared in Convention, tho, one from Fairfield coun'y,l-thow many from l.tchGeld county wc know shero were none author. iEcd from this the meeting properly organisc,l--,hNi when tho Convention proceeded to Ealot for gentlemen to stand M nomination for State Officers, there was little any opposition to c. Tom llNSOn tOr UOVGtNOc-~tCU IOtOWcU SOluc upnOSlNlOH to John g. Peters as IL. Governor, and some claims nr another candidate for tho purpose of healing div sions in the republican party Sc. &c Blu, on ballot iny, Dr. Pc,crs was declared ,o have received ma josi,y as candidate for It. Governor. Mr. Spencer was then nominated for Treasurer, without opposition Then followed the business of ,he Romna,ioa of Sec. rctary Of Staee-aer little disoMesicn, recess of l5 minutes was moved and carried, for the purpose Of giving the members opportunity of taking up the subject. At the expiration of the time, the Convcn- ton assembled again, when member expressed his dissatisfaction with the nomination of It. Governor cha, such nomination was not meeting certain pro. sci6ed portion of republicans with that rgh. hand of fellowship which was expected, and which was the great object of the Convention, &c.-and he hoped member who voted with the majority would move for reconsideration oG the subject of this nomination A piiakIe member, (whose name we do not know, shea rose, aud moved reconsideration, when it was carried by vote of l3. Then followed free discus. sioM the subject, acr which ballot was taken, and lngol,lsby w. Crawford was declared to be nominat. ed for It. Governor. A ballot thea taken ior Sec re,ary of Smte-OR the second ballot . majority was found for Tvm. s. HoLabird, of Canaan, (NVinches- ter,] as a candidate for Secretary. Some customary resolutions were then adopted, committee of pub cation appoinied and the Convention adjourned.
 is but justice say that the Convention was oE she whole, very harmonious collection Of discordan materials. We have always felt good degree O friendship for Mr. Crawford but freely de clare that we will not lend hand in pGHishiRg DOct Peters. merely to give new proof Of friendship for Mr. c. or any other person. We believe (sO d' vel Mr. HOllabird is lawyer, upwards of % years age, and gentleman of good report among his ellov citizens; but we hardly believe tha, he desire she place of Secretary, with the small emolument (ony think of the hOnOr of the thing, brother Barber shough 1t will sOt now, any than in Falls,aff' time, heal wound or ll the slOmachl attached ih oGice."
 An An:i- Masonic Convention was held in Harltor lass week, and among other things nominated Mart Wslles for Lieut.. GovernOr-who when waited upo decliaed. They then nominated Thomas T. William
 is istelieved ho too, when informed of the nomina ton. will decline. This like that at Mid d!eto~n, is pretty much of hcmbugging sort of a affair, and we apprehend will be Unheeded by th great mass of the people. The ticket in sueeeedH eolamn wiil without doubt be the Oae which will supported and elected, by the ant-diciatOTs. Thong backed by lhe attending physician of the AssaRe Hs visal. shs sasi-masoues have no hope of sueeeediu
