County C0nrenfiORs.-While the IOc0-f0c0 patriots in all the eastern counties of this State are holding their Conventions, and resolving and reresolvng that democracy (oryism) was never stronger in the state than at present." tha: the democratic party are en- tTey united and harmonious in supporting the meas ures and men of the present Uery erceent admnietra tion;" and while it recommended to hold these con- vehicles in every county in the state previous the January meetings-we surprised that no means are taking to bring forth their troops in this county Cannot something be done the present session of the County Court to nnse nerve into the dropping sp; rits of the party before it becomes entirely dsprtcd Something must be done-something shcU be done to rouse their sleeping energies. And for this purpose we will take it upon us to suggest that in the course of the present week meeting of "black spirits and white blue spirits and grey" be held in the southeast of the second story of the County House. to de- ways and means for opening the spring campaign | with becoming energy. The birds with golden plu- mage from Winsted and Goshen will be here-the b"rrans and get-alls from Canaan-and the various blackletter tribes from different parts of the county will be on the ground-and we can conceive of no better time to "put the ball in motion." What say you, Col Ode, may they not have the of the room for "valuable consideration 2 fthe old worn-out flag of democracy" will not answer to raise upon your battlements, we would lend you our whig flag were it not that it bazons forth the insignia of our country, instead of partythe stars and strpes-and therefore think it would be an unfit substitute for the thing which has heretofore oated over "free spirits and prison bars." But at any rate meeting must be had, and that speedily, the party will be utterly able to rally again. We must get the Judges of Pro- bate from the North and the South and the Centre to make harangues-we have District and State Attor- neys and Posmasters without number, who erst were ratng about their golden half eages-and if with all these we cannot raise the steam, then, then indeed "Othellos occupation's gone"

Except in the mechan- ica department however, it is not improved.

It to be impossible for it's ed tors to commence, continue, or close an argument or article with any opponent without resorting those cabalistic expressions-a puere they silly and contemptble. L

 Congressional Loco Foco Nomination for Gouernor. It is currently reported, and by the knowing ones stated undoubted fact that the Connecticut de- legation in Congress, being out of work during the late extra session. thought necessary to hold asort of raolical meeting, relating to the political destiny of ble of calling together State Convention of forty tCo men, from the people, to nominate Governor and Lieutenant Governor they the delegation in Con by nominating SetI ?. Beers for Governor, X Chamn. ccy r. CLeveland for Lieut.. Governor This may not be true but we have strong evidence that it is We should like further information on the subject.
 We believe there is more truth in this little ondit than is often found in such conjecural articles There is no doubt that the Van Buren locos have during the past summer and fall heen coong and billing around MT.

He will not like Holabird and some of his compeers "stand up to the rack, fodder fodder, but will be found at the rack only when Ahe crib is we'll filled. We know there are good many of the loco loco leaders who would jump at the chance to "whistle him off, as utterly unworthy of their conf. dence. But for being their candidate for Governor, it's no go-he will respectfully decne--and MT. Ralph l. Ingersoll must be taken in his stead.
