are satisfied, we hope they may have abundance Of
Just such satisfaction.
ALL RIGHT IN CONNECTICUT!
MR.. NILES AGAIN INSTRUCTED.
The little town meetings." held in most Of the
towns of this State last Monday, furnish stronger in
dcations than did the meetings last year, Of the
complete asceIdancy of whiggery in this good cd
State. Connecticut is sound 10 the core, and though
cannot in the nature of things expect again get
20 out OF the 81 Senator'S yet We believe shall do
almost well that and that majority for State
Officers will be even larger than it last SPRING
The politics OF Connecticut are settled beyond oil
cavil We notice with particular satisfaction that in
almost every town where the cortest was very ami
nent exception is the single town Of Middietown but
there the total vote of the town Jas less than that
oflast spring, the Wings falling off IFS, and the Locos
but sO-while the Loco majority, was but 50. Had
the vote of last spring been poed there it is fair
presume the wings would have held the town, al
though it has for years been in the hands Of oppo
nents. But, giving them Middletown in any way
they may choose to claim it, what else have they to
boast Of? Ii is matter Of wonder that the Wings
should have been able to have secured SO large ma
ory Of the towns, when it is considered how reluc
tant they have been 10 contest these elections on par
ty grounds, and that it was not until last year that
they generally saw the necessity Of attacking their
opponents with their own weapons. This year again.
Mr. Niles. from his high place, threw down the gaun-
let and almost every town that accepted the chal-
"Liitle Torn Meetings. The first fruits of the
Fall Elections alias little town meetings." come in
well. The towns which held their elections on Mon
business Of securing the selecfmen," as Mr. Niles
has it. The Honorable Senator's letter must have
had an extensive Observation-Disclosures Courier.
Old Litchfeld.-Tle Wings of Litchfield are emit
tied to the thanks of their brethren throughout the
state for their grea: efforts redeem that town from
the hands Of the ocos, Monday last, in which they
were entirely successful-679 votes were polled, and
every exertion made by the ocos to retain the
power they had long held. Last year the town Of.
fcers were loco focos.-Con. Courans.
Resignation Of Lord Durham.--Advices from Que:
thai LORD Durham had res s his Of
fee Of Governor General Of the Canadas, and will
leave Quebec on his way home on the 10th inst. in
her Maiesys ship Maabar. He adopts this measure
in consequence of the proceedings Of the British Par
lament, by which the government refused to sustain
his ordinances In an Address to the Delegates from
the Lower Province, he remarked that opposition from
Lord Bro9gham and from those acting with him was
no more than he might expect, but he was compelled
to say that he had been put down-sacrhced by his
friends those whose duty it was to stand forth in his
defence, at period when his Political enemies were
ability to do any thing for Canada, it could be Of
use for him to remain longer in the country, and he
should leave it she received the official nc
counts Of the parliamentary dOings.-Ibid
A Good Toast.-Co Langdon Cheves, Jr. gave Mr.
Calhoun severe rap over the knuckles a few days
ago, at public dinner in Columbia, g. c. in reference
the attempt Of Mr.. c. to puIoin from Mr.. Benton
Gold Humbug. The following is the toast ): .
by COL L. Cheves. Jr--I Thomas Fl. Benton-The
modern Midas, who in addition to the misfortune of
the ancient, is not permitted to wear his ASS ears
without competition. -.
Political Miseltoe-Judge White adopts the follow.
ing novel and expressive mode Of speech in his late
Knoxville speech, concerning Mr.. Van Buren,:
He did not come into office upon character Of his
unless he atans it upon the strength Of his prin-
cples and character. He is nothing but mere tuft
political misetoe, having no root Of his own, adher-
ing to, and supported by the limb OF distinct trunk
trunk to noursh him as the tut yonder oak,
whenever that oak shall have decayed and fallen.
Upwards of 600 900 of acres Of land in the West
ern and South Western States, are orderedb by the Co
vcrnment to be sold previous to the LIST Of January
next The largest sales are to be in Illinois, Missou
ri and Wisconsin. The quantity advertised is said
be much larger than is required or will be purchased
at present. still large portion Of this land is actually
wanted, and the amount Of money that will be paid is
estimated at Sl00000oO The payment Of 20 large
an amount into the hands Of receivers in so short q
time, and where it must remain some time before II
can reach the Treasury and be again disbursed, will
have tendency still further to unsette the currency
ofihe country .-ELPress. ...
The North Carolina Senafors.-We have prospect
of getting two good Senators from North Carolina
The Raleigh Standard (the leading Loco Foco paper
of the State,) says, that Messs. Brown and Strange,
if instructed, will obey or resign. There seems to be
no doubt Of their being instructed.
Catch him! Another ub-Treasurer Nth legs has
run ascdy.-Abrabam Jarvis, the Van Buren, postmas-
ter at HaEtsgrove, Ashtabula county, Ohio, has run
away and carried with him all the money belonging
to the post Office. The Wesern Reserve Chronicle
says, this runaway postmaster was noisy Locoioco,
and his conduct illustrates thepsincipe of the party to
which he belongs, and Of which he was the main pill
lar in Hartsgrove.
Massachusetts, with ona third greater population
has given so large voteas that given in Maine
at the recent election.
