the pfopo1eo LOcofOcO CouVentlon .lot GttCui.She county. of which it spoke few weeks since. Cannot they be brought up to the sticking point, sirs7 You know that the leaders in Washington and Hartford insisted upon county meetings being held in EVERY county in the state. All but LiichfieId have held them. Shall she prove recrcant? Wake up, wake up, Locos-"day is breaking.''
 The Consultation is the name of new paper estub- lished at MiddHtOwn few weeks since, the first four numbers of which we have received; and we take blame to ourselves for having before noticed thus publicly paper which trust will prove valuable instrument in dispensing light in the rather henghted county of MddIesex. Wei hope it will be able to pro- claim on the first week of April that that county has returned to sound principles, from which it has long gone astray.
 The JcfersOaiun is the title of paper proposed 10 be published in Albany the very cheap rate of 50 cents year. It is got up, understand, by an as- sociation who are disposed to contribute small DOT ton of their worldly goods for the very benevolent purpose of endeavorng spread light and knowledge among all classes of their fellow citizens Mr. Horace Greedy, publisher of the New Yorker, is under stood is to be the editor.
 We have but single remark to make in reply to the editor of the Reviews three quarters of column of ,Cords devoted to the Litchfeld Enquirer. We have seen f, and read it., and that we "emphacally think" is high praise in our behalf We doubt whe. ther another individual read so long an article from his pen unless it were as an anodyne.
 Connecficut Branch of the American Education So. cistycl, well known to most of the friends and pat of the Education Society in this State, that in consequence of the pecnniarv endorsements of the present year. the collections for this object have great ly fallen off both in number and amount. While the loud and pressing calls of other objects particularly Foreign and Home Missions. have been heard and answered, the necessities of the Educa ton Society have, in great degree, been overlooked. The pa rent society, which ought, in order its sound pros perty, to he able depend this Branch to furnish least the funds required for the bene6cares at the institutions in the State have been called upon, at quarterly disbursement, for time past sup. ply large deficiencies n treasury. This, ,vitl, similar burdens from oiir branches had, previous to their last quarter as stated in their late appeal to the public, involved the Parent Board in debt of | E'eren Thomsand Dollars. The opect is, that at ihe close of the present quarter which occurs on the 2d "Wednesday of January inst, tis debt will be con- ] sderably increased
