 9r Will some of our friends in the different towns of this county arwar us the returns for Electors soon after the electonas possible Whether favora- ble or unfavorable, give us the returns. .., .~-, A. 1ihe Whig ConUention for the counties of Tol- land and Windhan, which met at Mansfield the last week. nominated JOHN H. BROCKWAY, Esq. of Ellington, candidate for Congress, in place of A. T. Judscn, appointed Judge of the District Court MT. Broekway has been repeatedly member of our General Assembly both in the lower and upper house -s gentleman of talents and integrty-andit it would be gratifying to his friends in the eastern part of the state if would turn out in its strength and give him their vote. He is every way qualified for the station, and would make highly respectable Member of Congress. - s.
 The Eaa Barren Coapsat;on held in ,tl,s. villa on Wednesday of last week was absolutely s feet failure we ever knew. The day was gocl
 stiff breeze from the northwest -and we anti
 at least thousand of fat, jolly ofice-holders and
 satellites would have been present. Immense ps had been taken to drum them together--notces pub lished and scattered through the country e- ployed andappeals and threats of all sorts usedn- dreds Of delegates appointed and every note ofprepa ratiOn e0gnded What then was astonishment, and tho chagrin and modification of the few noisy brawefA aBcut here, when some 50 or @ l2 persons from out of only could be gathered together and with fhus6 am this town York staie and elsewlsse, together with small sprinkling of whigs perhaps loo or laQ were got into the Court House. When the sponsing commenced. and the plaudits were thumped upon the anost deserted benches it appeared as tho sone half dozen empty barrels had been procured so hollow and death-like was the sound. We imagined
 was the knell of expiring toryisn, The meeting was addressed as we learn, by four or five ofce-hold- CTS, and by no others except one hungry expectant.
 We did not zee either of our Hon. Members of Con. gress. Lancest Phelps or Perry Smith, at the late V. B Convention. Why is this? Are they reposing on their honors othey consider tliemseyes too much eleyat18abovc the common people and smaller office holders to minge with them Where too was the magniloqaent everlasting hg den,ocrat from Kent, the Judge of Probate? and he of Woodb,ry? and of Canaan7 and the District Attorney, and the States Attorney and that everlasting great" friend to the poor and poor Method:sfs :" the School Commis- soner, q d. Were they all fearful of an abortion, and ashamed to show their faces among tue "lesser lights" at Ltch6eld? Squire Echo, and Cottonisn,, and the Izsh deputy, and the Litchfsld P. M. were present-but oh how chop-falen ! laundering and "braying" 6or,h to empty benches! s.s..~.
