IN cONNEC TICUT.

AT the late Wing State Convention in Connecti-
cut, al which Noyes Barber presided, and Governor
Ellsworth and all the other State officers were nomi-
mated Tor Reelection, the following resolutions were
passed
Whereas The present administration Of the Gene
raj Government has separated itself from the ine-
rests Of the people, and is now seeking 10 ma nain
its ascendancy through an organized corps OF public
ofhcers, acting IN Concert and under the direction
OF central power at Washingon And whereas
this system ayowedly based on the principle of dis
tribung among The the yictors The Sports OF Office"
has plundered The treasury, corrupted our public
officers, and shaken even the firm pillars of our po-
itical Institutions: And whereas il has also derang-
ed our currency-interrupted our commefce-de-
slroyed our trade-prostraled our manufactures and
diminished The value of all the products of agricu-
lure nearly one half. Therefore,
Resolved, That the present condiion of the conn
try is one Of peril and alarm and calls loudly upon
our eounrymen To rally in their own defence to
turn out the present selfish, disastrous adminislra-
ton, and put better men in their places and To bring
back the Government TO The policy OF Jefferson and
Madison and 10 deliver the public punder from the
hands OF The spoilers
Resolved, That the last and present ad ninistra
tons have taught Us that Presidential term of
iour yearsis as long as the Presidency ought TO be
entrusted 10 one man; and, in the re.e election Of
Martin Van Buren, his character and conduct wuuld
leave Us nothing 10 expect but disaster and ruin
Rssoired, That decent reward TO moral honesty in
the matter Of appointment Is better safeguard for the
Peoples treasure than the bolts and bars OF National
Pententisry.
Resofred, That tho exclusion from the House of Re.

been examined, )or the purpose of giriag the adins

Resolped, That William Henry Harrison, Of Ohio

dependence and who has rendered his name still more
ausrous by his military and civil services, emlnen,ly
qualified for the Office Of President of the United States

Thus has ended all our we'll grounded hopes Of
bringing the war to a close by pacific measures;
confident in the resources Of the country the enemy
will hold out TO the last, and can never be induced
TO come in again.
But the day before yesterday the chiefs only ex-
pressed willingness but desire 10 emgrae to
the West. Acting up in full faith to the promises
had made 10 them, their conduct is only TO be
attributed to the faithless disposition which has
ever characterized them.
The partial delay caused by the armisce has
not tended to the injury Of the operations in Flor
ida, inasmuch as il has been conductive 10 the
health of the three regiments which have suffered
so severeIy-they will now be enabled to take
