CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Although the returns throughout the State have not yet been received, and of course the result cannot be accurately known, we are nevertheless of opinion that the Jack son party in that State has gained consid- erably, if they have not been altogether successful. We were prepared for this since the day that the ultra federal doc trincs of the proclamation and force bill were hailed with so much exultation, in proof, that the President had abandoned his avowed democratic notions. Of late the ofiice-holders and expectants have been securing the State in every direction. But there is something deeper in all this than appears on the surface. Mr. Van Buren finding his prospects ii the south utterly prostrated. has been indnstriously at work to organize the forlorn hope, G northern confsderacy; and while the aPostate press of the south has advocated his cause as a friend to the holding States, his enis- saries in the north have held a directly op- posite language, and have assailed the south and west, their principles and their men,
 When all hopes of deceiving the south are abandoned, he will throw off the cloak and use the language which his partisan friends used in lSl2-"The Potomac the boundGry---tse negro States by Hle,aselues." ,"

Will they never learn that the sole object of these men IS moneys Will they never learn that whatever these men do has but one motive-that when they have benefited the people, 1t has been enly with the selfish motive of aggrandlzing themselves-and that they are as willing to trample on as assist the people in the fur therance of their schemes!
 Will these men still be permitted to be the monarchy of the Territory of Arkan- sas-to claim as right all office and all honor at the hands of the people-and to reyile every man who may oppose them, by seeking that to which he has as much right as they?

The Globe says, that taking up Jadss White as T candidate for the Presidency B ''anotker DeeetA Clinton a4air." If thu affair was censurable, who was more ts blame than Martin Van Buren. who for sir months was preparing himself to attsck Madison and tho South-who spoke tpo hours in the caucus in favor of Clintoa and against southern views and principles-wbs nominated and voted for Clinton electors
 That he did so to kill Clinton nolptieallr
 may be inferred from his subsequent desear. ton of that statesman, and he intended 10 do as much for Tompkins, when he per. suaded him to run against Monroe. Get. ling rivals out of the way by leading them blindfold into political quagmire, Is favor- tie move of the magician.--Epening .SIar

We are sorry to learn by an article in the last Gazette, that Judge LACY is still much indisposed at Helena--so much so, indeed, as to have given up all idea of holding any of his courts at the present term. He was about to set out for Nashville in few days. Should sickness force him to resign his situ- ation, the Circuit in which he presides will severely feel the loss,

Itire study Of mankind. Your noisy, brawi. 1 ing, vociferous dog, who howls all the long might, like wounded wolf, at the moon, is an emblem of the noisy politician. Both oi them howl and cry for the sake of hearing
 their own sweet voices, and the one is about as much of a patriot as the other, Your
 anapping and snarling cur reminds us ever
 of aa office holder, fighting lastily for the
 bone he is picking. Your stout, hearty, brave dog. who walks the street without turn ] ing his head either to the right hand or the 1 left, is like a Justice ofthe Peace, Mayor, or
 the Governor ofthe Territory. Dogs are like Legislators they make great deal of noise, and the community is benefited but little by 1t, Thank heaven, there is one means of in- turing a community which they cannot make use of,-They cannot pass laws for it. They are like partisans- If ore of the clan raises
 his voice against q luckless wight, the whole join the chorus. If one of them worries an unlucky pig, or COW, the whole join ill the attack,
 On the other side, thore is much to be said i'll their favor. They are an i'll treated race of quadrupeds. They are faithful, generous, bold--and yet if 9 man becomes scoundrel,
 t is immediately said that 'she acts the dog.p Now the truth Is that this should be compli- ment. If men had half the faithfplness and honesty of dogs, this would be glorious world. ''He is a perfect dog!" And pray what would be perfect dogl It would be the perfection of honesty, bravery and grati- tude.
 This however must be taken with an ex- ception. There are some dogs that we hate as heartily as we do an English traveller through our own country--a literary old wo- manor man who loves the people too well. For example, there is your fat, pursy, wheez- ing, ladies' lap-dog, If we had a wife who owned enc of these detestable animals, we would hang the dog and give her separate maintenance. Then there is your long leg ged, sneaklng, Indian cur. lie always re- minds us ofa hypocrite in a black coat--or an editor changing sides for what bones he can get to pick. He should be gagged with a bone, and left to starve. There is your little snapping- turtle puppy, that runs out and bites the heels of your horse. He is like the edi- tors of the Globe, barking at the Senate. F. should be taken by the neck and pipch6d to death.
 After all, however, we must allow, that in- asmuch as dogs neither male long speeches with no head or tail to them, nor pass inter- minable and nonsansical laws, nor lend mo- ney at five per cent. month, nor sell their votes for whiskey, nor sit Gil the fence with their fore paws in the ar, looking first to one candidate and theae eo the other-they are ve- " decent ap4 respectable animals.

A very animated debate lately took place in the British House of Commons on the affairs of Canada, upon the occasion of the presenting of petition from the Legisa- tive Council and House of Assembly of Lower Canada, complaining of grievances. Commissioners are to be sent out by the British Government 10 make an investlga- ton into the nature of the grievances com plained of. If the mother country shall be careful to remove all just causes ot com- plaint,-which we doubt not that sbe Eii be, there is little probability of a rupture ct the present relation for long time to come The British Government exacts very little | from the inhabitants of Canada, and spends lavishly millions fer the development oi theinternal resources of the territory. Ne- thing but bad management on the part es the mother country will drive her North American Colony to rebellion.

Although it has been recommended in the Gazette, that Governor Fulton should issue his proclamation for the election of Dele gatesto Convention, for the purpose ofform- generally admitted that 1t will not be done. We must therefore await the action of our next Legislature on this subject. We trust that they will take it under their serious con- sideration. That Michigan will go into the Union soon, there can be no doubt, and we should struggle hard for admission at the same time.
 There are some indications showing that .n effort will be made to fetter us with tho same restrictions which 1t was attempted to impose on Missouri. We hope that any such movement will be met promptly, and our rights secured to us. If the aboltionists of the North are wise, they will beware of med ding with this subject.
 We hope that whenever we do become a State, some alteration will be made in our County Court system. We have made two experiments, but neither of them has worked well. Few, we believe, are satisfied with the present arrangement. Important ques- tlons of law--and cases where much property and money is involved, come frequently be- fore these courts--and it is no disgrace to the Judges ,of them that they are not competent io decide on them. Let Us have Probate Court organized-and give the Judges a suf 6clent salary to make the office as respecta able and worth as much as the Circuit Cour flor, except in the criminal jurisdiction, tn business before the former is often more i'm portant than that before the latter.
 We have neither time nor space to exten these remarks. Our columns are open to tn discussion of this subject.

Ohio and Michigan. Globe con- tains the opinion of the Attorney General on the subject of the northern boundary. It is not what the Michigan folks under stood 1t to be. Its conclusions are as follow:
 "First. The Congress of the United States, By receiving Ohio into the Union, without objecting to the proviso contained in the 9th section of the 7th article of her constitution, implicitly assented to that pro- yiso.
 Secondly. That the assent thus given to the provso, did not involve nor include an assent, on the part of Congress, to the then actual and present extension of the northern boundary to the line mentioned in the pro- yiso--it being the contemplation of the parties, that the decision of Congress upon the question of giving or refusing such as- sent, should he made at future day and l by some future act, on the entertainment of particular fact, which has not even yet been duly ascertained. And, Thirdly. That until this last mentioned assent shall have been given by Congress, the tract in dispute must be considered as forming, legally part of the Territory oi ] Michigan. !"
 These positions appear to me unexcep- ltlonable. The opinion repudiates all force, and maintains that the questions in contro- versy are to be adjusted by legislation and adjudication. The object of the opinion Is to advise the President, upon the legal points involved, to guide him in ascertain ing and performing his official duties.
