Destructive FIre.-On yesterday morning, the 10Th
inst. between and o'clock, fire broke in the
Clock Factory Of Messrs. Wadsworths e. Turner's,
about mile south Of this village, which with all it's
conieRts entirely consumed. We understand that
there in the Factory a large number Of clocks
finished, and "a still larger number in considerable
degree Of forwardnees, besides a large quantity Of
s,ock-all Of which were consumed-such had been

At present be correctly estimated, but is supposed
will not be less ihan $1,000 to $4,000. There no
insurance. The Messrs. Turner's had had part Of
the property insured, but understand that the poll
cy expired about week fortnight since, and had
not been renewed. The fire was probably the result
of accident. The saw mill, and other buildings adj.
joining, probably in consequence Of tho weight Of
upon them, saved. Several Of the work
men in the Factory we learn have also suffered very
considerable loss.
" The Jackson Party in Connecticut Under this
head the editor Of the Middctown Gazette has lately
been amusing his readers with or Two essays
From OF them copy the following brief history
Of the rise and progress Of that immaculate party
> in the Staie:-
For time, there was but one jackson
paper IN the state, the Herald Of New. Haven, md
matters looked rather unpromising To I've sure, the
Herald was conducted with talent, but Mr. Woodward
always wrote as though his conscience reprosched
him, and he gained no proselyics. After while, the
Hartford Times was brought to the true faith
and then was commenced that system Of denuncation
and attempted prescription which has been followed
mp to this present writing. Still the machinery did
not work wel-convcrsons were few and far between,
and occasional desertions took place. But the excr.
,ons Of the leaders, especially those who clustered a.
round The Hartford Times, and controlled and contri-
buied TO lie columns, were great and unremiued. II
pcrnaciously aud clamorOusly insisted upon tina,
the ,nteresis Of Jackson and Democracy dcnti-
fed, md that every who refused TO enter the
ranks Of Jackson's friends was Federalist. Ths
produced less effect than anticipated, and in the
spring ofl828 Convention was held u. Hartford land
violent aud abusive address circulated through
out the state. In the August following, Convention"
was held in this city. at which Electoral Ticket
forn,cd, and another meeting called on the eighth Of
minaiins candidates for State Officers. The jackson
Electoral Tickets received about one fourth Of the
votes given 10.
"At the Convention in August, many Federas's
had been Induced altend, and il thought prOba
ole that UaiOn might be effected between them and
che democratic supporters Of the General. To bring
about an object desirable, the liberal offers
aud promises made 10 come leading Federasts,
and a large member, many Of them men Of influence
and talent, met in the January Convention. But the
General was now elected, and the assistance Of the
Eederalis,s was no longer necessary; their claims.
therefore, Instead Of being respectfully considered,
were not merely resisted, but they were treated with
eou,umelious neglect. Most Of them seeded aud
have ever since declined acting solely with reference
the personal interests Of few demagogues.
