CONNECTICUT.

The Legislature of Connecticut assem-
bled at New Haven on Wednesday the
9th inst. In the Senate, in the absence
of the Lieutenant Governor, MIR. Hendce
was chosen President pro. tem., and
Nelson Brewster, Clerk. The House
elected Charles J. McCurdy, of Lyme,
Speaker, and Jonathan A. WEIGH,
Clerk. On Thursday, Governor Ellsworth
delivered the annual executive speech,
from which we learn that the admin
trativc affairs of the State are in a most
prosperous condition. Connecticut is
free from debt, and possesses in the Trea-
sury the sum of Is, 544. This sum, with
thr avails of a one cont tax, dividends on
bank stock, and sundry other other small
receipts, are sufficient to meet its ordi-
nary expenses, which do not vary much
from $50, 900. The School Fund amounts
to S2,O4O,OOO; the dividend made last
year was SOB, 345, which has been divided
amongst S2,676 children. The State
Prison Isl a flourishing condition: num-
Der of convicts, 150 profits last year be-
yond expenses, $4,000. The militia
numbers 10000 men, who ore generally
we'll armed and equipped.
A great portion of the message relates
to finance, banking, the embarrassment
of the country, and the policy of the Gen
eral Government. The condition of the
Banks IN the State of Connecticut is thu.
presented:
"From the report Of the Bank Commissioners
you will perceive that they have discharged thei
duties with vigilance, and. believe, with grea
fidelity. The detail oftheir proceedings shows ,hei
acquaintance with the subDect committed TO thei
trust as well as their efforts to discharge its deli
cate and high responsibilities. 1t exhibits like
wise to the public eye the condition of our Banks
Let their report be carefully perused, the broa
range OF their powers be considered, and the ex
tent 10 winch these powers have been exercised
and we may be satisisd that these institutions ar
sound, land deserving of general confidence. Bank
are assaled too etlen without cause, and in man
ner prcIudcial to the whole community. They ar
strictly identified with the prosperity Of of all elias
ses; until of late, they have been considered bene
fetal TO all and see no reason TO doubt that the
are now struggling to sustain what remains of Ell
, terprise and credit"

THE OFFICE HOLDERS RALLY.
GEORGE w. BARKER, tho Tory Post

LII VI IIOE AlOAhhAs'1 SHAA '
GEORGE w. BARKER, tho Tory Post
Master OF Montpelier, and NATHAN B.
HAswELL. the salaried superintendent of
tho Break-Water in this place, and q
staunch Jefferson Democrat during the
last war, have tapped the drum for a
general rally, at Woodstock, of the Office
holders in this state. And we have no
doubt that the Marshalls and Custom
House Officers, Post Masters and Pension
Agents made quite respectable turn
out on the occasion in point of numbers.
These patriotic gentlemen, perceiving no
doubt, that their term of Office is most
likely to expire some time in the course
of next March, probably wish to signalze
their gratitude to their chief for the libe-
rality with which he has scattered the
loaves and fishes among them heretofore.
Or it may be these paid patriots are so
deluded as to believe that by an exhibition
ofso many long visages at one place and
at the same time, they can excite the
sympathy of the People and induce them
to spare them short time longer. But
gentlemen it is "no co." The chilly
fingers of death are on you. Your 'lurld'
countenances will proclaim to all who see
you that you know your doom is sealed.

A RELIC OF TIE OLpEN TIME.-The
Editor of the Salem Observer has beer
shown relic, from Wcnham, which he
pronounces rare and undoubted piece
of antiquity, which has come down from
the times of the Puritans. 1t is a Van,
of rude workmanship in copper and iron
with the date 1858 cut hroughit. Wen
ham was first settled in 1913. The frs
meeting house was built near the ancien
burying ground and tins vane was pu
, upon its spire in 16SS-having been sen
from an individual in England to hi
brother in this country. In 1854, the sc
cond meeting house was built; and Jaco
Crowinshield, who then owned farm i
Wenham, was bencfactor to a consid
:, cradle extent towards the cost ofits cree
) ton. This vanc was given to Mr.. {
, and then placed upon a tree upon hi
t farm where it remained until within
, few years. 1t is a rusty old fellow-on
hundred and Gty-tro gears old; an
and has stood the bufletngs of the wine
f and storms century and half. 1t h;
seen, and conformed to, many changes
its day although it has remained substar
/, tally maltercd; a thing of great inco,
t stancy, but of long endurance.

BEDFORD ELECTION.

Below we give a list of the Wing and Loco Foco
maiorltes at the elections oflast October and last
week. We do it to show the increase since last
fall, and for the purpose of assuring our friends
that correct principles are beginning TO gam the
ascendancy. The vote given was not so large as
that of last fall, but Of those who remained at
home, and did not attend the election, we assert
without hesitation, majority were opposed 10
Van Buren, and if all had turned out the agsre-
gate majority in the County for our candidate
would have been nearly a thousand.
