Litchfield enquirer., 1840-06-18


 Roman of the Illinois and Mir. Andrew Palmer of the Michigan legislature, all lead: ing Loco Focos, have boldly come out and renounced allegiance to the magician and his necromancy. MT. P. concludes his let- ter to his late constituents as follows:
 "My only desire, my most fervent and daily aspiration to my Maker, is, to see this great Government of this hitherto prosper ous and happy people, aorested from the hands 0f the SpoiIsmen-reScuedf from he grasp of those uGndaIs, ,chO hare Laid the aGe Gt the root o the SacreL Tree otLi6erty-and to see it committed to the guidance of others, capable, more honest, more derOted tO Lheir country's good."
 The locofoco leaders at Little Rock, Ark, having appointed c. w. Wagner, member of one of their committees, he declines the honor in letter to the editor of the Arkan- sas Star, for the following very conclusive reasons:
 "I have not, as get, come to the conclusion of embracing the entire creed of the (so call ed) democrats, owing to its being encountered, as is alleged, not only with the nauseous and indigestble dogma of the sub-treasury sys- tenn, but also with the reelection ot the present l incnn,Geni.
 Yours, sc. c. H. WAGNER" Virginia-A Washington correspondent of the Boston Atlas has carefully prepared table of all the votes given in Virginia at the late election, and compared them with the votes given in the same counties at the Pres idential election in 1886. In the counties where there was no actual contest lhlS Spring, the Congressional vote of last year has been substituted, and although this is evidently to the disadvantage of the Wings, nevertheless the comparison shows the wlig majority in the State to be more than 2,70O, and the Whig gain to be nearly TEN THOUSAND. There are Whg majorities in FOURTEEN of the 2l Congressional districts.

 Gen. Harr;son's Religious Ch0r0cter.-The following paragraphs from memoir of Gen. Harrison by J. R. Jackson, Esq, bear valua: ble testimony to his religious character:
 In person Gen. Harrison is tall and slen- der. His features are irregular, bold, and strongly marked. His forehead is high and expansive, his eyes dark and keen, his mouth denotes firmness, and the expression of his countenance is indicative of intelligence and benevolence. His manners are plain, and his disposition cheerful. He is compara- lively poor, and is said to be strictly pious.- The writer of his biography says that he has more than once, on entering the chamber ot Gen. Harrison, found him on his knees at his bedside.
 An incident which occurred in Philadel- phia will serve to illustrate his character.- On the evening preceding Sabbath he was to spend in that city, two gentlemen waited on him, and stated that as there were two sectS there more numerous than others, It would be good policy in him to attend one of these sects in the morning and the other .l-u kH ha sAH I thank you sincerely for your kindness, tage ot it, but have already promised to at- tend divine service tomorrow, and when l go to church, go to worship God, and not to electioneer.'
 In debate in the Senate of the U. S. in fa- vor of adding some amendments 10 Militia ry Bill before the House, Gen. Harrison re- marked:
 "I would have added some other induce ments would have added honorary dis tinction and I wouldehave increased the pay of corporals; But Isfeared to go 10 far lest nothing should be obtained. There is another clause would willingly have added to restore again to your army he ministers c re- hgion. Until lately had not known that the grade of chaplains had been abolished. May not to this cause be in part attributed the increased number of assertions in your army? know that there are objections in the minds of some military men to the en- ployment of Chaplains, but it has always arisen from the characters of thechaplains themselves. l know also that books of cari- catures have been printed in England against that grade; but in the reform that has lately taken place under the Duke of Wellington, a considerable change has been effected in that particular. They are now chosen with great care, and faithfully do their duty. A Chaplain, properly chosen, and employed where he can have constant access to the men, will TO doubt be of effec- tual service, and regret they are no longer to be found us component part of our army.
 Looking Akead.-Mr. r. O..J. Smith, editor of the Eastern Argus Revived, and late dis tinguished Conservative member of Con- gross from Maine, gives the following expo sition of the motives which have doubtless Kendall in coming down from an--otiice worth 5000 a year .haeause he was poor and in ill health" to say nothing of the inn mense patronage of the Post Master Gene ral, to become q penny -a- liner for the Globe:
 MT. Kendall is taking his position, and arming himself and friends not so much for the pending Presidential canvass as for the election that is to succeed that of lS4O. And we now warn the country, and the Whig party especially, that the managers of the Wash ngton Globe,with Kendall, Benton and Blair at their head, are fortifving themselves and arranging to lead the forces of the Demo- cratic party of the country in the campaign that will commence immediately upon the installation of a new administration, which they now see to be inevitable, and are not in fnOf hnn Snnr Ah.xA N1,<>xx
