NEw-YoRK ErxcTToN-Tke elecaOn in the Empire State, took place Tuesday last tor Governor, It. Governor, Members of Congress, and the Legisla- ture. The spirit of the Wings previous to the cleo ton appeared unusually good, although they have heavy vote oflast years against them to surmount. On the Senatorial vote, the majority against the whigs was ,l4S If our friends overreach this ma jority, they will have done noby: And knowing the importance ot their success in this contest, they ought to have rallied to a man, in lS4O and secu-- red like triumph over their opponents. Another week we shall doubtless be able to give the result and hope the strong ticket the Whigs have put in nomination has been successful.
 MAssAcHusErrs.-The election in the Bay State, takes place next Monday, for Governor, It. Cover nor, Members of Congress, and the Legislature- The Wings are awake, and will in all probability elect their candidates by handsome majOrities.
 FoREreN-Late arrivals from Europe bring nO news of interest Every thing on the continent was quiet The state of trade remains as dull as ever-. The Cotton market had experienced a decline of l-9d on American qualities. Money continued abun- dant. Flour quite dull of sale at low prices. TIE TREATY RATrF1ED-The Great Western brings MT. Derrick, the Special Messenger of the Govern ment, with official confirmation of the ratification of the Treaty between the United States and Engand,r on the part of the British Government.
 It is reported tha: man by the name of Roekoeu,- ! was murdered in Canaan last week. Rockwell was' concerned in the burning of Lime Kiln-went from home about midnight to the kiln, for the purpose ct relieving hired man thathad been tending the same the forepart of the night The man accordingly left the kiln in the charge of MT. Rockwell. The next n l..l L-sz zl.A bled down from the top of the chimney upon the bo- dy or near it. in order to give it the appearance os accident. But on examining the premises, blood wTs found in various places-indicative of quarrel The body on investigation was found bruised consi derably.
 Suspicion is said to rest upon broherasit is known that the murdered man and his brother had quarrel ed day or two previous. Other circumstances arc reported concerning his guilt. There being heavv frost on the morning the body was found tracks were discovered leading from the dwelling of the brother which is but quarter of mile distant from the spot where the murder committed, exactly | of the size and shape of the boot worn by him. Blood is also said to have been found upon his clothes. These circumstances caused his arrest. | 6rWe should feel very grateful to any of our
 friends in Canaan that would send us the particulars of this horrible affair.
 Many and serious are the lessons which the Wings of Connecticut have learned within the last twenty years. Many elections have they lost by too much confidence in their strength, after or three src. cessfu conflicts; and have they regained their position, as they we'll know, without the greatest ex erton and labor Even look at their last struggle or rather an apology for one-and the elements were too unpropitious for general rally on the field and doing battle like true soldiers-which negligence caused their opponents to carry their ticket and that too, doubly, by siorm. Will many more les. sons of this kind and from other causes be neces. sary to teach them their whole duty? We hope not. The prospect of victory is moro bright for ano-
 her campaign. But too brilliant for the erring spirit of apathy and supineness to be for moment harbored within their camp. The enemy is already in the feld-their flag unfurled and the war horn sounded for the battle. Their candidates are before you. You know what you have to do. Organize, then, as the of one of the oldest Whig rapers in the State asks you-the Hartford Courant Read: If the Wings of Connecticut intend to carry the, State next Spring, they must arouse themselves at once, and commence their organization. At the pro- per time a ticket for State officers will be put in imitation which will be worthy of their confidence and support: and they must go into the contest de. termned to bring out every voter to the polls. What an exhilarating effect it will have upon the Whigs throughout the Union, if it shall be proclaimed after our next election. that Connecticut is REDEEMED, and has given her old Whig majority of FIVE THOUSAND! Such victory may be attained and is it not worth an effort? Every true Whig who remembers the good influence which our success previous to the last presidential election exerted upon the Wings of other States, should feel pround that he can again aid in producing like happy results and exert him. self accordingly.
 General Hamilton's Letter to Mr. Calhoun.-The editor of the New-Haven Herald an original Jack son man, in alluding to this letter, says :-"We ask the Benton Humbug advocates to look at Gen. Ham, ilton's remarks in calm and dispass;ona,e manners and to act upon their intelligence honest and D- dependent men. We feel the more sensitive on this subject because were once-with many of our Calhoun, though both and they long sdjured the policy aod practice of the Jackson and Van Buren administration of the Government, and greet our brother Hamilton with thrice cheering and hearty welcome to the returned and returning fold"
 A Hard Winter Coming. .--The New-Hampshire Courier has the following chilly prophecy.-" We believe farmers generally have completed their har- vestng, and we glad to know that they have re- alized rich reward for their labors. We hope they are making arrangements for a hard winter, for we arc to have one of the haFdes. winters known for the last thirty years"
