LITCHFIELD, FIERY 9. 1882,

ot0te Nonsan0ts0Ns.-A meeting of the National Re- publicans of the Eighth Senatorial District was held at Norwich on the 26th ut. for the purpose, among other things, learn from the account of expres- sing their sentiments in regard to lhe nomination a. Baltimore of Henry Clay and John SergVant for the offices of President and Vice President of the Unted States. Hon. James Lanman presided, and Cyrus Williams and John A. Rockwell Esqs acted as Sec- retaries. Resolutions favorable to the above named gentlemen passed and also in favor of the system of protection commonly called the American System. The following resolution likewise passed, which we should be glad to responded by the friend. of Henry Clay throughout the state:
 ;" Resoiued, That we approve of the nomination ol his ExcelIency JOHN S. PETERS as Governor, and the Hon. THADpEUs BErrs as Leu,enan, Governor; the Hon. Thomas Day as Secretary, and Isaoc Spencer, Esq. Treasurer of the State of Connecticut for the year ensuing.''
 The injunction of secrecy having been removed from the proceedings of the Senate the nomination of Mr. Van Buren, the National besides publishing the yeas and nays, has given the public several of the speeches delivered in secret session Those Of Messrs. Chambers, Clayton, Foot and Web- ser were first given-and from them we have selected for republication those of Messrs. Chambers aud Foot entire, and extracts from Mir. Webster's, which will give pretty full insight into the by tho oppos- ton of their vote against Mr. Van Buren. The friends oE Jackson, however, who voted against him, besides the objections urged by the opposition, took other grounds-as the "applcs of discord' which he had thrown into the Jackson ranks-his efforts to SOW dis sen,ion between Mir. Calhoun and the President, and olSN 1atw Ina nd Cal the first cabinet. The speeches of Messrs. Holmes, Clay, Frenghuysen, Ewing, Poindexter. Miller, and
 second one by Mir. Webster, are given in later In ielligencer; but we have yet none of the speeches of the friends of Van Buren. We shall here- after try to find room for all part of Mr. Pondex- ers speech, which is of the most severe Una, was delivered, and gives inimable fullength porsrai, of the Magician.
 The editor of the New Haven Regs,e, (who by the bye is always considered the secret if not open sup- porter of Van BOren) ~thus remarks -" Some devel- opemens have come to light which worthy Of note. It looks little queer that neither ofthe Senators from Virginia, Pennsylvania. or Tennessee, all of whom profess to he Jackson men, opened their lips in favor of Mir. Van Buren, while he handled ,rithoa nsit tens and knocked and kicked about the senate cham. her in ali directions by his opponents The Senators from these three states reckoned among the strong men, and the strongest men, of the Jackson pary yet they remained perfectly quiet, in question all mpor. tant to Mr. Van Buren and Gen. Jackson, and con tented themselves with giving a cold vote of aye-by their 0cts indicating, that although by circumstances they were compelled to for the nomination, yet they secretly wished that mght he rejected. IL looks
 ltLe queer too, that Mir. Bibb, from Kentucky, and who pyotesses to be Jackson man, was absent when the vote was taken. The support given to Mr. Van Buren, by those who prosssto be his political friends, cold one.'
 Messrs. Hayne and Miller of s. c. Moore of Alab and Pondexter of Miss. who voted against the nomi- nation, are Jackson men.
 T Aa attempt was made by few office -hslders in New-York, on learning of the rejection of Mr. Van Buren, to get up public meeting to deuounce the Senate. The "swamp." lanes and alleys were scour- ed, whOu, success; andjudgiUg from the chop-f tone of the Jackson papers after the meeting, only small number of gudgeonS could be caught. An ad- journment took pIace-and the next evening was at. tended with but liuIo better success. Though dema- gogues may threaten and holders denounce, the the people throughout the country.
