I REUBEN BOOTH.-This RenIlsmaO, who was nominated ny the late Convention at New.fIaven ro 6II the in the House of Representatives of Ihe Congress Of the U. S. s native of KenI in this cOUSIy. Having obtained his education, he settled at DaODury in the practice of the law, and soon by his
 industry, his integrity and his talents rose to emOence in his profession. He early joined the rep"bIica" party, to which he has adhered with UnwaVerng
 fidelity. By that party he many years ago aPpoin- ted Judge of Probate for the District of Danbury and
 he at all times discharged the duties Of the office ]" that entirely satisfactory to those in'eres- ted in it's concerns. But Judge Booth, in common with large majority of the democratic electors oi Fairfield county, has not yet been able to discover q single trace of egitimacyin the patent democracy Oi modern times-t seemed him that the bra,Cling on this subject by oce-hoders and ofice.seekers is no. thing but rank hypocrisy, and that under the thin dis guise of profession concealed the .cors species Of tederalisnI; and for this high crime and misdemeanor his neck was broUgh under the operation of the gu
 otine erected and unsParDgy used by the last legs- t"re. He was removed from the office of Judge of Probate, and T. T. WhiltIesey, federolist was ap- pointed in his place. Werejoce ha, the Tories have made up the issue between Reuben Booh, tried de- u federalis! there is doub, as the verdict ha. will be rendered by the People. KENT.
 "THE RlCHRlCHER & THE POOR POORER"
 No, long since the patent feerni democrats pre'en- ded be completely horror-srcken a the idea of a- ny measure being adopted the tendency of which is make "Ihe rich richer and the poor poorer" The leaders of the spoiIs party (who have long had their ~l..l :,, Ill. to be seized with species of spasmodic devotion to the welfare of the poor and needy hroUg bout the land
 Strenuous efforts made persuade the electors that there is some principle of repulson separating those who unfortunate far from those who are suc- cessful in the avocalions of life. This suggestion the crafty leaders knew to he faacous, in this country of equal laws and equal privileges the poor or their descendants constantly ascending to the level of
 he rich, and the rich their descendants are forced dcwn the level of the poor. 1n short these poiti. cal Pharisees have about the love for the poor that the wolf experiences for the lambs which he is about devour. But our object is to illustrate the
 nsinceriiy of these demagognes (some of whom are very rich and all 'ank aris'ocras heart,) by the act of the last Legislature in turning Mir. Sedg. wick from the office of Sheriff of this county without accusation, trial proof who ie not ashamed nr- knowledge himself poor man, and appointing Chas A. Judson his successor, who is known be wealthy and who spent the whole session in Hartford with others i" pognt"g the basest caiumnies 0gnnst Mr. Sedg1cick ,oih rie,o to get hs place. This is pre- cio"s sample of patent democratic, e. federal sisIeucy!! It is oppugna,on to tho business of ma. king !" the rich richer and the poor poorer'' with vengeance!! AN ELEcTuR.
 New light has recently dawned upon the patent democrats Of Hartford and vicinity. They have dis- covered those among them. who have put on the col
 far with mere merrenary views. And this discovery has thrown their ranks into terrible of jealousy and confusion. Such suspicion prevails thai eveO the leaders-,hose who show lCounds received in the cause--are secuted as federaliss whgs! (horribile nomen) and as no longer deserving the confidence Of '',he party" Gideon WeIes eveR tha, perfect m- personaon of patent democracy, is charged with low
 ing office. This is scandaous. We have not ahe least doubt, although he has rotated from office
 10 another in the true patent democratic style, that his dnteressedness and tender regard for the dear People, are still strong ever. And we are as- tonished at the presumptu"usness of the Patriot and
 Democrat" in daring to call in question the motives of one, whose neck has go long been gaed with the coE hey may depend upon it, the wrath of high pIacsss1Rl res, upon them. But ,ruly the brotherly quarrel is useful, as well amusing. IL is bringing '" light facts, which confdng people will remem- Der. It is unfolding viler system ol dupliciiy and wicked complication, than zoe had supposed to exist Themselves being judges. they have for years been laborng to blind the eyes of the People, and conceal from their view, under high sounding profess soos of devotion their interests the sord and selfish ends. Go gen,Iemen-draw aside the whole cur,ain-let the whole scene Le unveed-yo" are doing inc State valuable service. And we would just suggest the honest citizens of this part of ihe Siae
 that while the scene of corruption is unfolding there,
 the conduct of certain persecuted and " everlasting great democras'' be scru,inized a little closely here. OBSERVER.
 Whig Retorm.-A reform proposed a, the re- cent Whg Convention at WolcotviIIe, which we deem of the highest moment to the freemen of this
 State, viz: amend the constitution and laws ,ha, the Comptroller of the Public Accounts, the Comms. sioner of the School Fund, Shers and other countv officers should be chosen directly by the People.- Such reform has long been called for. It originates in the true republican spirit IL recognizes inc Peo. pie the of ali political authority. 1t propo- the correction of abuses noiorous and fragrant longer io be endured. We earnestly invite Ihe free men of the State to give the subject an immediate
 animation, and send such to the next Legsla-
 ure as will support the proposed amendment.
 Republication ofthe Hartford Timrs.-Ths public will doubtless he delighted to learn 'ha, many highly interesting lucubra,ions which have for some years
