 and resulted in the choice of what is called the whig ticket, which however was composed of whigs and twaddlers, or PariOtites-there being seven of the latter out of about thirty namesone alderman out of four, and five of the Common Council out of twenty.
 As we coniectured last week, New-London has not elected whie erepresentatves-nor any other. On the second as on the first trial there was choce-there being three sets of candidates the whigs being the highest. Another trial is to be had. In Bloomfield on the second tra the Van Buren candidate succeed ed by majority of One-and in Danbury, on the third trial the whgs carried their second representative
 By an unaccountabIe error in the returns from Red ding, the canvassers at Hartford have certified that Ephraim Moss White, of Danbury, the whig candid ate for the Senate in the llth District is elected in- stead of MT. St. John, who undoubtedly chosen. It appears that the Moderator, who by the bye we sorry to learn whig, returned the vote thus "For Ephraim M. White lTo-for Ebenezer Stoddard l22" The error will doubtless be corrected immedi- Atey upon the meeting of the legislature, and Mir. St. John admitted to his sea-for it is not to be presumed that MT. Moss win attempt to hold it longe4 than to have his competitor restored to his rights
 '.E0IWFCS: EOuWTeS. TOtGwIeSs-1 HIS IS ulG cry which is ringing through the country. Commencing 1 the cities, the distress and ruin is pervadng the whole land. Many merchants have stopped and are stopping the crash is now extending to the mechan- i&s and manufacturers. In New Haven, and Hart ford learn that several manufacturing establish ments have already stopped payment; and even nearer home we hear that number of manufacturers have determined to discharge part of their work men, and curtail their business at least one half- Such panic and such distressing times as now per vades the whole country probably before existed
 THE PARK! THE PARK!--Now that the spring has opened and the frost is coming of the ground it becomes our villagers to cast glance upon the Parks which were erected the past season. The fences erected, the ground eveed, and every boz dy admires the beauty of their appearance. But where the trees that were to grace and orna- ment it? Where are those noble monuments which we ought be planting for the benefit of posterity What would our beautiful village noW have been, if our forefathers who now sumber beneath the cods of the valley had done nothing for their posterlty than the present generation appear to be doing for theirs? Where would have been those grand elms and sycamores and naples which spread aloft their HNlUS IOWdIuS ulc ucoScHS Not PcScuI tO UC sure dreadfuly maimed and cripped) had our ath CTS possessed more public spirit than we fear have their degenerate sons
 Now is the proper time to transplant trees in our villagethe frost just coming outhe ground is soft and pliable, and easily dug up We believe that all, or nearly all of the money obtained by subscription has been expended but every individual can yet do somehng he procure at least singh tree, if not halfdozen, and under the direction of the committee have it in the enclosure of of the Parks And now is the time when we think our enterprisng and liberal farmers might give lift in easy and acceptable manner. We would respectfully suggest to them that they bring in maple or two an elm, or a sycamore, select place within the Park, and have them put up-and hereafter, as they come into the village, keep an eye upon Meir ,recs-see that they be properly staked up; and if by frosts winds they be thrown out of place, osed from upright position, attend little to putting them right. But while we solicit this favor of agricultural friends, let not villagers be dlethey too must set out their trees, watch over and protect them-and some fifteen twenty years hence, if not sooner, they will be bundantly rewarded in observing the beauty and yer dure which are springng up around them. Then will our Parks be Gas village long has been) the adm

 We trust that this subject will not be allowed to sleepor remember, that whatever is done this sea- son, "must be done quickly"
