JOHN TYLER, OF VIRGINIA.
49,
10 In order to give readers pretty full view of
the proceedings Of our Connecticut Congress-" we
have been obliged omit sundry other matters which
we intended to publish We have, generally, cur
tailed the account Of proceedings some what from the
papers from which they are taken. Thus, petitions
when they are first presented, bills when first port.
ed, and other things in their incpient state are pas
sed over but noticed when more natured or on their
final passage or rejection. We have too been occa-
sionay obliged either to abridge, or cut the debate
entirely. In small weekly paper, though we put the
proceedings in fine type, it is impossible to publish all
we should desire. ~. 81. S., ..-. .0l
In justice to the New-Haven Herald, it should be
mentioned tina. nearly all our accounts of proceed
ings are abridged or taken from that paper.
The LEGISLATURES, contrary to our expectations,
did not adjourn on Thursday or Friday last, nor on
Saturday. They found that to do justice to the
amount Of business before them it was necessary to
sit several days longer than has been the CUSTOM ra-
Their than leave what their constituents expect from
them unfinished. Several questions of an unexpect-
ed character have come up during the session-elec-
ton Of u S. Senator, Judge Of tho Superior Court,
90. which occupy great deal Of time in their pre-.
yious preparations The State is to be canvassed for
the most proper persons local and sectional feelings
to be consulted and harmonized. and variety of in.
cdental ct cetsrds to be talked abou-a which con.
great deal Of time, and no doubt occasion the
members no inconsiderable amount of trouble. We
are right glad that tho Legislature determined not to
adjourn in such hurry as to leave great mass Of
business unfinished. Better TO cit week longer and
have the business completed as il should be-
P.S. We learn by some Of the members who arr.
we'd here Tuesday evening that the Legislature ad.

Their that there was not moral courage sufficient in
the majority to make the attempt to remove the
