"HOPEs OF TRAITORS"

The loco-focos of New Milford have recent ly had meeting in which they passed sci of resolutions drawn up in that soldering s0ri of mGnner peculiar to rery great man. In one of the resolutions they speak of the hopes of traitors" and yet cause their pro- eeedings to be authenticated by the sigma ture of Lg7nGn Hine as chairman of the Meet ing. Is this the same Lyman Hine who three or four years ago was an ardent whig, and who betrayed his friends and deserted his principles for the sake of office! Is it the same Lyman Hine who last year gave a sol emn pledge to a fellow democrat that he would resist the tyranny of Perry Smith, and counteract his ambitious views in case he (Hine) could be elected to the General As sembly, and yet went immediately and base ly disclosed the communication to Mir. Smith himself, and then devoted the whole session to the business of toisting that gentleman into the Senate of the U. States? Why! MT. Hine, if man was about to write sermon on the hopes of traitors," he could not see lect a more appropriate text than "Lynan Hine, Chairman of the Meeting" just as the ex- centric Lorenzo Dow (when mortally offend ed at pamphlet issued by Dr. Beecher) chose as the theme of public discourse "Lyman Beecher, chairman of the Committee"

HOW HE MANAGED TO GET IN SENATOR.

HOW HE MANAGED TO GET IN SENATOR.
 The People should not forget the means resorted to by Perry Smith to make himself U. s. Senator. It is we'll known that he con- menccd operations in caucus with misera- ble faction that could not command over thir- ty votes. This however was sufficient to de- feat the nomination of Mir. Ingham, man infinitely better qualified than himself.- Smith and his friends then went to work to get MT. Judson, one of his competitors, out of the way. He resorted to his usual weapons, bargain and intrigue. Doct. Taylor was des- patched to Washington to consummate the affair. It was arranged that Judson should be appointed District Judge, and then speak CT Cleaveland (who wanted Mir. Judson's seat in Congress) went over to Smith with all his friends. This ensured Smith a majority of one in caucus, that vile arbiter of political fate in modern times. Smith then made the welkin ring Gas he does now) about regular nonhiratfon and democratic usage. Many democrats felt the greatest repugnance to the appointment. Here Smith got majority ot only ONE in house largely democratic. He could not command even that in his own county on the passage of the resolution a mere matter of form SO we'll is he understood in this part of the State Democrats of Litchfield county whose feelings have been outraged by this appointment will ye not remember these things at the polls?

A Great Dsscorery !-The Loco Tocos have got hold of document issued by the Wings of Hartford giving suggestions as to the course to be pursued in the coming contest. and pretend they have made great discovery-a powder plot least What folly! the whigs are only taking advantage of some few of the practices of the tories in their organization It is well known that for many years past the tories have been vastly better organized than the whigs, and by this reason have been enabled to get the better of them where in many instances their numerical strength was not equal. Their better organization has enabled them to get their men to the polls earlier and more generally and for this cause the whgs this year, in that respect have beeninduced to adopt some of their plans. Hence the "circular" about which the tories are making so much noise.
