% The Superior Court for this county commenc-
ed its summer term on Tuesday Iast-Judge SHER-
MAN presiding. What amount of business is to come
before this Court, we have not heard, nor whether
there are any very important civil cases. Several
persons are in the Jail charged with sundry offences,
who will doubtless undergo investigation, and some
of them receive justice at Wethersfeld.
CONGRESS still continues in session, and probably
will continue during the whole of this week, at least.
The Bill repeating the famous Sub Treasury Act has
passed both Houses, and promptly signed by the
President. When we observed this fact, our faith
was strengthened that he world also sign the Bank
that very little or hope remains that he will do
All advices from Washington represent that he wiU
ueto the Billiard that 1t will probably be communi-
Gated to the Senate at the opening of the session
Monday. This being the great measure of the ses-
sion, and that being thwared by the Executive, it
remains to be seen what will be DONE Some of the
letter writers express the opinion that the session will
then be brought to a close, while others think that
may be continued couple of weeks longer; some
that the whole cabinet will resign, others that none Of
them will. The following is the latest letter from
Washington in the N. Y Express of Tuesday:
WASHINGTON, August 18th, lS4l.}
Sunday night.
You must not be surprised to hear that the next
mail brings you the Veto. What will be the step af.
ter that matter of great interest to the Wing par
ty, the country, and to the President of the u States
Do not be surprised then it Congress, instead of
breaking up in row, as locofocoism wishes and be-
lleves, should remain in session two weeks yet
The Land Bill will pass probably, the Bankrupt
Bill also, and all the other important measures OF The
session. These are the signs Of the times to night
The resignation nj :hp Cabinet mnch desired NV
the loco tucOs, will not take place il the wishes O the
better and wiser heads in both Houses allowed to
have their full weight. The heads of men who rule
in the Senate BY the majesty Of mind, not to be
factous as it is. The great wing victory of Novem-
Der is not thus to be thrown away Do not be surpri-
net, petition should be sent them il necessary to
request them to retain their seals, by the very men
whom loco focoism would persuade us to believe
were anxious to thrust them from their places. The
wings intend first to reap the rewards Of their abors
by the enactment Of wholesome laws, and they will
then about reforming other abuses perhaps even
KING reto himself, which is now such a blot on the
Constitution.
Longeuify-A friend has handed us the following
list Of persons Of the Of Gibbs two brothers and
a cousin, Of remarkable longevity, natives OF and now
residents in this town:
Gershom Gibbs, aged 81 the 18th Of July.
William Gibbs, aged &c the 18th of May.
Solomon Gibbs, aged 81 the Sd Of July.
Their united ages 25S.
There is another family. Of three brothers, natives
Of this town, and two Of whom have always been re-
sidents, whose ages are as follows:
Joseph Mason, aged sc years.
Ashbel Mason, aged "a years.
Elisha Mason, aged 50 years.
Their united ages 252 years.
The first named Mr.. Gibbs, though firm wing,
never took the freemans oath till 1886 or 81. The
whole six believe revolutionary soldiers and
pensioners. Being all wings Of the revolution, a,
least five Of them are wings Of ls4l.
A WORD TO WING POLITICIANS.
That highly respectable print, the organ of the ad
ministration, the National Inteigenccr, iremarks
contemporary away up in the benighted region of
Haverhill, N. H., and we commend some parts Of the
article to the especial notice of portion OF read
ers) has of late contained several spirited and admit
rable articles addressed to Wig politicians, concern
ing the support Of The Wing press, which may be read
with profit and needed by our friends in New-Eng
land. That there is palpabe neglect on the part Of
the wing politicians to support the wing press in
manner that it should be, will not be denied. This
article is not intended for subscribers but for leading
Of the wing party. Apolitical newspaper is the
organ of the party, and should receive its entire sup
port, and every wing should labor to procure subscr
bers and for it all the patronage possible
What course have the Tories pursued in this partic
ular? Have they not always been distinguished for
liberal and generous support to their papers Have
they not given their Editors all the patronage their
power and enabled them TO have such encourage
ment to be perfectly Independent? And this is in
fact the secret of the success in times past of the
ries. We should like to say more on this subject,
and to publish longer extract from the lntegencer
if time and room permitted.
"The Wing politicians too many Of ihem not all,
have got idea into their heads land where such
ductor or editor of public journal is Disqualified
per for an enjoyment OF the honors OF an office =
This is origin idea, assurcdly with all such
Wings Ii is orig final in these United States too. II
certainly never came from the two freest countries
over sea-France, where every great man in public
life has been more or less, connected with journaZ-
ing or England where the whole intellect OF the
country concentrates and blazes forth in its periodical
press.
Now, as long as the Wing politicians thus begin
their reform" at the wrong end and in the wrong
time and long they tolerate this absurd idea OF a
prescription Of the hardest working, and ever working
too, class OF their counrymen, 1t is not Tor them to
complain il their newspapers are not IS spicy or their
journals good as those of the other side.
The Wing politicians make the greatest possible
mistake hey .h; The leading WE n
themselves positive injury by having any thing to
do with them party, independent Of their oblga'
tons TO advocate what they deem the best interests
