"The County Court bill passed the House last night
by about 70 majority. Sherman and Cleaveland
strongly advocated it, and Parsons and Tyler opposed
it, Cleaveland raves like bull the reports Of the
committee on judiciary expenses and the committee
on the expenses ofthe State Government. He spoke
about three hours against the printing Of them last
evening, kept the House in session till about 10 o'clock
at night, when the vote to print was taken and car
RED"
The spring elections are now over, and have been
glorously successful for the Wing cause almost every
where. The tide, which the loco focos claimed last
fall was to be turned in the spring. has not only not
been rolled back, but wing principles have gathered
strength as wing trumphs have progressed. The next
election to be held in any Of the states believe is
in Louisiana, where Governor, Members Of Congress
and the Legislature are to he chosen. We gather
from the papers that the prospect for the wings very
cheering-that Gov. Roman will be chosen by large
majority; that the late Gov. White is candidate for
Congress in the first district, and will most undoubt-
eddy be chosen in the second district, heretofore dis.
tracted with little WoodruGsm, Judge Chnn (whig,
who was beaten at the last election will be chosen
and in the third district, Rice Garland the present
wing member, has no opposition. The election takes
place in July.
No doubt remains Of the election Of Msssrs. Prem.
tiss and Word to Congress from Mississippi though
we do not perceive they have yet taken their seats
The American says" A gentleman from jackson
Miss. states that Prenss and Word were about start.
ing for Washington and Claiborne had already start
cd for Red River and Texas"
Conservation perceive that the N. Y. Times
has hoisted as it's candidate for tho next Presidency
HENRY CLAY, and for Vice President NATHANIEL
P. TALLMADeE. The Stamford Democrat in this state
raises the same banner. We say 60 ahead-this 10
good enough whiggery for us. Give us Henry Clay
for President, and any honest man like Tallmadge for
Vice President, and the country will soon DO restored
to the elevated position it held Hlss before the reign
of Humbuggery was commenced.
Mr.. Clay, it will be perceived bv reference to the
first column Of the preceding page, has submitted
proposition for new National Bank, with large ca.
pital But apprehsnd 1t 10 all premature No Bank
Of this kind any Other project having in view tho
public veal alone, independent Of party, can expect
to meet with success 90 long the country 10 act-
ed-not to- say cursed-wi.h such Chief az Martin
Van Buren,. So soon however a. he retires or s hur
ed from his elevated station by the voice of an abu.
sed, indignant and exasperated people, and the rsins
Of government placed in the hands some compe.
tent man, shall we have what is called in de-
rision by the loco focos regulator Of the currency"
land not till then. ls4l will witness its consumma-
tion--mark that!
ave earnestly invoke the Judgment Of every hon.
est eector who regards the welfare and reputation of
the State upon the conduct Of the present Legisa-
ture. "-Hariford Times.
That is right, Mr.. Times the People should watch
the present Legislature (as well a. every other) If
they do 50, they will learn that great effort il now
making to reform every branch Of the government,
and procure an upright as well as economical admin
istraton Of our affairs. What, Mr.. Times, If over
$1,000 should be saved to the People in the expenses
Of the Legislature and over $4,000 in the expenses
Of the judicial department and what fthe wings
should in single year pay off debt Of $4,000 which
your party has recklessly created We hope, Mr.
Times. that you will continue your invocation till an
other election comes round when the People will put
Down your miserable faction by over ten thousand
majority.
