WHIGs TO THE POLLS!

It the opponents of Van Buren and Johnson will unl. versay assemble at the polls, there is little doubt but that the cause of sound principles will obtain signal triumph in this State the 7th of November next.- Every where we witness surprising changes in the country against the spells candidates, indicating that THE KrNDERHooKER has by no means that hold upon the affections and confidence of the country that the pre4ent incumbent of the Executive Chair has posses sed or in other words, that Van Burenism is not Jacksonisn." If we do not mistake the signs of the times, such is the present condition of public sent ment in Connecticut. There gre thousands in this State who have enthusiastically supported Jackson, that can not and will not go for the Willy Magician, who has suspended to his neck that mill stone the gra practical aanlgamationist!! Let therefore the Re- publican Electors every where take courage, and let them do their duty. and their whole duty, and they may confidently anticipate an suspicious result.

 Gen. ORRN HoLr. of Wilmington, has been nomina- ted by the Van Burenites for seat in Congress to supply the vacancy occasoned by the apponsnent of Andrew T. Judson as District Judge. The Wings of Windham and Holland counties hold Convention this week to put candidate in nomination. '
 PENNSYLVANIA. The elections from the wes- tern part of this state come in rather more favorable than in the east The returns give 10 Whig Congress- men. and IS Van Buren, being a loss of one to the Wings. The Van Buren folks will have about two thirds of the legislature. Notwithstanding all this, there is whg gain in the general result of about 5000 votes the election of 1884, the last contested cleo ton when the Jackson party were united. Many of the Whg papers still speak confidently of the election in November going for Harrison.
 Mr. EdisOr-An incident (wkich was to sorry to witness) took place at the late Regimental Review that you neglected to notice in your account last week. One of MT. Van Burens subjects, as understand, an English boy from Wolcottvle, came on the Hill in the morning with small Jdckass, which occasioned the boys good deal of fmeriment during the day. In the afternoon, while the regiment paraded the Green, and making preparations for firing, this long cared gentleman and the boy among others came a. long among the crowd. The Colonel, or General, q amnot certain whch,) imagining probably that some indignity was attempted to be cast upon him. which am confident however was not the case forthwith or dered platoon of infantry take the donkey and his keeper and put them under guard. No sooner said than done-and Jackey was immediately marched of to the County House for safekeeping until the parade was over What has since become of him, whether he has been regularly courtmartialed, this deponent cannot say. By putting this in your next paper. you will oblige AN OFFICER.
 IWe were aware that the above related incident occasioned good deal of meniment among the by- sanders The poor donkey had been about the Green during the day, with a crowd of boys around him ma king sport; and when the regiment was under march, he very deliberately and soemny paraded in the rear tnot at all assuming upon himself the character of the ColOnels Lieutenant, as suggested by some waggish fellows and moested no one that we heard of except gang of rosy-aced urchins whose attention was ab stEacsed in considerable degree from the soldiers to the Jack. We have no idea that any reflection was intended to be east upon any officer of the Brigade, not even the Inspector but that the whole wasmerely designed as boy's sport.-ED.l
