A correspondent of undoubted veracity informs that New-l4Ondon county was there with banner, one Postmaster and nine Mackere fishermen making all told, len. Windham county was there by (. +, Hartford county was there by the editor of the Times, P. A. Goodwin, and one Clerk in the Post oHlce-Iolland county was there by O.

The principal speakers were the Harttord delegation, MT Waldo, of Holland, and Mir Catlin, from all of whom the stream of eloquence appeared to run "emmyings."- Mir. Cleaveland also let off considerable Wind-so much that danger was apprehended of coit0pse.-- We are happy to learn, however, that no accident happened.

 From ihe Troy WAig
 MT. EDITOR The advocates of power, in order to divert the attention of the people from the fragrant abuses of corrupt administration, use every eXpcdi- their ends. Among others, they of late affect holy horror for inteWperdnce, and because the whigs "hard cider" as "an emblem of contempt. they would taln have the people believe that log cabin raj sings are but scenes of drunkenness and debauch.
 The Rough Hewer not long since contained a la. bored article entitled Hard Cider Experiment" the object of which was to disparage the whig party in the eyes of the friends of temperance and more re. gently the Rough Globe stematzes the hardy yeo. marry who participate in the log cabin rasings, race of" tigers bears, hyenas, and British men, be- sotted and depraved by the hard cider orgies and log cabin debauches Ot the present season."
 But the friends of temperance are not to he mised by the hypocrtical rant ot pensioned press or to hcarken to temperance lecture from boated, red nosed office holder who, if he does not trcmbe from he effects oi whlskey, trembles for the fate ot his "spOlls."
 The following, from the Temperance Recorder, the accredited organ of the REAL friends of tempe rance, shows how they appreciate the efforts of their would be allies. IL is m extract from letter written by Elisha Taylor Esq. Chairman of the Executive ciety, who is friend of tie Administration, and ot course not prejudced in favor of the Whig cause.
 AFRIEND or TEMPERANCE.
 One word about Log Cabins:
 Many arc raised with "great pomp and ceremo- ny" and much is said concerning them in this west ern country. l have heard of but one out of some dozens the route have travelled, where was told hard cider or any other intoxicating liquor was sold or rooms and places of political conference apar, from the bar.room and erog-shop. II such is the use to which they are generally appropriated throughout the country the friends of temperance will have reason to rejoice ut their erection, because the caucus and political meetings of one party at least are removed from the tavern and gshop, the usual place in will withstanding many, of the intelligent. in that party contend that hard cider is only used us an emblem of contempt" to their political opponents who in der sion originated the appellaon, nll real friends of tenn pcrnnce will mourn over that, any other party catch.word, which seems to give license 10 indulge in any thing which can noxicate It is therefore tc be hoped that the friends of temperance and good or der will see thnt the cider barref' is always empty and the " tin cup" filled with pure waer-thnt the beer whiskey barrel no longer poIlues any com mittee room"-and then erect as many log cabins and plant ns many hickory poles as the respective pouca parties shall see ft The temperance cause win still be onward. and the foundation of our ber- ties grow stronger from the pressure it bears.

 Coop SruKK-The locofocos in Boston lately pas. sed the following tremendous resolution:
 GAIN MASSACHUSETTS,. St # Us S'' '''a'' ''' Frying into other folks' business.-" What are you doing there ?' inquired Jack of Tom, as he caught him peeping through key hole.
 "What that to you 2" said Tom, II don't like to see person prying into other folks business"
 AMos AND HIS PRoerNy-We find the following "palpabls hit' in the Rochester Democrat:
 When the Wh2 guns at dead of night,
 Had wak'd the babes in snd alright,
 Amos with sharp look and piercing eye,
 Says. Hush my dears, he shH. don't cry.n:u
 Tle Heaven born" then resumes his quill,
 The BABES rest not-but he LIES STILL
 Product o5 Me Far.--We are authorized by the Treasurer of the late Monument Fair, to say that sufficient progress has been made in the settlement of the various accounts, to authorize the belief that the nett proceeds will not fall short of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. It is with the most unfeisned satisfaction that we make this an nunciation. The monument will now go mp. Who ever lives there this year will witness it's compile ton. Honor to the Ladies of New.England!

 A fight between Edward Stanley, M. C. for North Carolina, and Greenhow, Librarian of the State De. partment, took place Monday, in the City Hall at Washington. Greenhow was thrown on his back and Stanley put his foot on his face, but Green how begged for his life, he was spared further pun shment than the being kicked out of the room- Greenhow had previously treated Mir Stanley with great rudeness on being asked to furnish the North Carolina member with volume of laws, from which extracts were desired to be sent to his constituents. The Ladies Fair at Boston, for the benefit of the Bunker Hill Monument, has been productive beyond precedent-twenty thousand dollars being the pro- ceeds Without the fostering hand of the ladies, the monument would for years, have remained in the same unfinished condition that it is. Thanks to them, it will now rear its proud head, memento o the valor of our sires and point out to the nqurne traveller the spot where the citizen soldier laid down his life. that his descendants might enjoy the blessings of free government.
