Litchfield enquirer., 1840-09-17

oFw.lcorne to the Wings of ali the States. Mir. Win throp read set of resolutions. No speaking was attempted, as the multitude too great fir any speaker to be heard. IL was arranged that the speaking should be done in Faneu Hall and various other places in the evening. Gov. Pennington of New Jersey. Gov Ellsworth of Ct Senator Phelps of vtI and B. Watkins Leigh of Va, were introduced, and spoke few words.
 At P. M., just as the multitude were leaving the ground, shower of rain passed over, lich cOntinn perse suddenly In all this concourse of Persons assembled, We saw hnt one person intoxicated, and he was singing out Hurrnh for Van Buren,"
 Ocs- In order to give the accounts of the late whe Convention at Hartford, and the great assembage at fnker Hill, We arc obliged to omit sundry other things intended for to-day's paper. ERMHNT.-The election in Vermont has re- suited more auspciously than any one anticipated- The wliGs have carried almost every thing-so ge- neral indeed that it seems unnecessary to give the particulars. For Governor, the vote is, only very few towns to hear from, w'!lq :s'$@-Van Buren l9,756-whg ma jority lG,247 The Senate 29 to 2- and the House about lG5 to $. In Smiths Congressional district, the vote is for Young twhig> 4604-Smith date loco member) 3l37 -whig majority ll67.
 In Eletchers district, which has been loco for ny years Matocks twhig) is chosen by ITO plurality Fletcher, and about lGO over all. For Mattocks 5092-Fletcher 1922. A gain of ttoo Congressman! MMNE.-Ihe election in this state took place last Monday. We shall begin to get returns by Friday [ night. Though we have not very strong hopes of carrying the state, we think we shall gain one whir member of Congress, in place of Albert Smith. An the Smiths must be turned of the next Congress except our friend Traman-lor he is the only whig. At the Prcnt loco loco rally at Groton Heights. on Saturday week, tsome 15 to 1900 strong,) the rain poured down in such torrents as to amazingly cool their courage-but we assured that the rain was nothing, in comparison to the recent election news from the South, and more especially from Vermont which had just come in, to dampen their ardor The truth was, the time was selected that the news from Vermont, which they expected to go for loco foco- ism, might be promulgated at that place, and give life and spirit to the meeting. But it of course had quite contrary effect.
 Deah by Lightning.-On Friday afternoon last Moreton Hopson, aged about l6 years son of Vim r. liopson, Esq of Kent, was instantly killed by lightning while seeking shelter by the side of hay
  stack from the fury of thunderstorm It seems that the deceased, with another young man, had been en- gagged at work in field near by, and upon the first approach of the had taken shelter under cart in the field; but considering that an insecure place. they left for the hay stack, where alnsos, instantly upon his arrival, the unfortunate young man was killed. The other young man escaped with sriAing injury. Mr. Hopson n very promising lad, was prepared to enter college, and bid fair be long use- full in the community, till he was thus suddenly call sd away.-Comm.
