the whgs carried all before them, will be learnt by the annexed extract from the Courier:-
 In our own town the administration party met A most signal defeat Upon the first ballot the Whig majority UQs one Hundred and forty-it soon rose to tlco hundred and over. At the same time the number of votes boiled was considerably greater than ever be- tore occurred at similar election in the town. We believe the change has been similar throughout the State. These circumstances clearly show that Con- neccut like her sister States, has had enough of the mad and destructive measures of the administration
 Let the Wings think well ot what they have ac- complished. With such evidence before them, they can easily revoutioniZe the State next spring. The truth is, multtudes of honest men who have hitherto been deluded into devotion to the administration mea- sres have found out the runous tendency fthe doc trines which have controlled them. They have with magnanimous integrity, abandoned their ground ac- knowledged their error, and mantnly supported the whig candidates. We respect their conduct, and trust they will aid in restoring the country to it's for mer prosperity and happiness.
 A stalk of Mustard was handed into our office on Saturday last by MT. Benjamin Vaill, which grew on his farm-it was 10 feet inch in height, exclusive of the roo and the stalk few inches from the root ea- sured l-2 inches in circumference. Its branches also were so ouspread that the birds of the air. &C., corcng to the sacred volume, might very comfortably "have made their nests therein'
 We were also presented on Saturday evening last by Miss Mary Bssell of this village, with bunch of blossoms gathered from an apple tree her fathers dwelling house. The tree has borne apples this sea- son, again blossomed and has apples of the size of hickory nut, and third time has now considerable number of blossoms upon it.
 FoR CANADA-The election in Middletown has gone Whig, and we conclude of course that MT Speaker Wightman has gone to Canada. We have been looking for him 10 pass through town this day two: Presume he must have gone by some of the back streets.
 P.S Our devil thinks he saw the Judge driving like Jehu to the north yesterday, with cartIoad of the doings of the last Legislature. "Isee him on his winding way."-Hartord Courier.
 The result ftle annual town meetings on Monday last in almost all tho towns in this Sate from which we have heard is of the most gratifying description- In some of them, it not only unexpected but ex- traordinary. This particularly the case at Mid. dletown, where the change in public feeling and sen- tment was almost unexampled. And it is honorable to the character of the State after having ascertaned by experience that the Van Burenites, in the midst of all their hypocrcal professions of regard for the peo- pie, are consulting their own personal interests ony and at the same time nurng those ofthe people, that the latter are by spontaneous movement, disposed to cast them of, and rid themselves of such desruct- i've power as that which destroys the public prop erty.-Daily Courant.
 Massachusetts-We understand from our Locoioco neighbor-in. law. that the patent Democracy of Mas sachusetts preparing for the election that State with great vlgor and enthusiasm" This is the old story Every year about this time, the Massachusetts loco focos have get together passed very spirited utlons, and nominated Marcus Morton for Governor, with great vigor and enthusiasm,' and then after clustering about while they have gone 10 the poIls as the Boston Post would say, in an unbroken pha- nn -hnf fhnyh ha nIx again with full as much "vigor' as they went-and so it will be this year. And what is peculiarly unfor- unate, they cannot attribute this invarable result, Jo Barber did the recent loco loco defeat in Maine to the decline o morals aud education !' The fact is the, people of Massachusetts too we'll educated and too intelligent to swallow even single pill off loco patience with which Judge Morton suffers himself to be set up year after year, only to he surely put down again. If "the Government" does not well reward him hi for his mee kness and Pa,rotic devotion, it will be most signal instance of the "ingratitude of re- publics. ."-Hartford Courier.
