Litchfield enquirer., 1830-06-03

the feelings of the pares remarked upon the unhap py excitemement which prevailed in that portion oI the State and advised that the house should not en- ter into the controversy; that no other objection appeared to be made against Nr. Bartlett than that he was nti-MasOn, and as probably his appointment would have been approved of by all parties had not this unfortunate excitement sted it would be best that he should be appointed. This course was adopt ed and the motion to erase rejected by an increased majority.
 New-London County has also been fruitful of difi- cuIties. The dissensions and divisions there have arisen of different views of gentlemen in relation the present system of measures for the promotion of temperance. It seems that in the town of Ston- in gton the Justices refused license any retailers of spiruous liquors-this has produced great excite ment in that town, and not without its influence upon the election there. A memorial was drawn up, setting forth grievances of the parties injured, and claiming that the refusal invasion of rights cured to them by the Constitution. The memorial written with distinguished ability, and said to be the production of a common sailor in that town. It referred the county meeting of that county, and the gentlemen from that county, after little inquiry concerning the mater thought proper to take no tice of the thing, and made the appointments of the Justices as usua When the bill was introduced, Mr. Dean of stonington moved to erase the names of Enoch Bmro,os, George Hub5ard, Giles R. Hal three other gentlemen. He called for the reading of the memorial, and such the effect which it produ ced aided by the zeal of the and by the speech of sundry stout asserers of equal and cons tutional privileges that the motion carried by majority of about 50. think this proceeding will do harm to the cause of temperance, as it's own vo- Ience and impropriety must produce a reaction not very profitable to the authors of the measure.
 might detail many other proceedings in the House, but my time is expended, and your patience will un- doubtedIy be exhausted by reading thus much. It is believed that the Legislature will rise Thursday or Friday of next week. The revision of the Criminal Code and the suppression of Lotteries yet to be acted upon. The party hold their meeting on Friday next to nominate State officers.

 The National Journal states that Mir. Townsend has been nominated by the President Second Comp oer of the Treasury in place of Isaac Hill, rejected.
 The President has nominated John Randolph of Roanoke as Minister to Russia. That he should mo- mnate man in his dotage is not so surprising as that he should nominate such a one as John Randoiph.- But " wonders have not yet ceased"
 On the 27th ut the above nomination was confirm ed by the Senate; as was also that of Ethan Allen Brown, of Ohio, as Charge d'Afaires to Brazil, and of John Hamm, of Ohio, to be Charge dAffaires to Chili.
 Renominatiom.-It appears iron. the Washington papers that M. M. Noah has been renominated by the President for the office of Surveyor of the Port ot New-York. Orly twelve days previous, remarks the National Journal majority of the chote Senate jected Noah's nomination to that ofice there being 25 votes against him. Since that period Mir. Taze- well, one of the Senators who voted against him, Ob- ained leave of absence for the remainder of the ses- sion, and has left the city. Mir. Marks another Sen ator who voted the same way, has been for several days confined his lodgings by severe indisposition Gen. Jackson has seized the occasion presented by these circumstances nominate Noah again, calcua ting that the absence of Messrs. Marks and Tazewe will make the votes on each side equa and that the Vice President will give his casting vote for Noah, as he did for Kendall. Such are the expedients to which an individual, filling the august office of President of the United States, can be reduced by his own wiful temper as well as by the counsel of the ntrguers of whom he is the tool We have heard of renomina- lions in former periods of American history but reserved for the present administration to exhibit the huma,ipg spectacle of President of the U.
