some and prOitsss session, adjourned on tho 18th
inst. On the evening before the adjournment, the
loco 6ocO members met in caucus and passed the n
sual Quantum Of resolutions in relation 70 state and
national affairs. One Of the resolutions expresses
the opinion that Mr. Van Buren, 10 the choice Ofthe
Democracy Of New. York" for next President and
two others read % follows:
Resolved, That we are in favor Of National Con-
dent and Vice President to be held at Baltimore on
the 9Th Monday Of NOueMber l643, as recommended
the democratic party Of the States Of Tennessee,
Missouri and Virginia.
Resolved, That Il is recommended 70 the repubh
can electors in the several counties Of this State to
appoint number of delegates corresponding with
the number Of members of Assembly, to State Con-
Of September 1S43, with authority to choose dele
gates to National Convention, or to determine the
manner in which they shall be chosen, and for trans
acting such other business in relation to the PTesi-
dental question as to the Convention may seem
proper.
From these resolutions it win be perceived that
the friends of Mr. Van Buren, are determined that the
National Convention shall be held in November. 1t
is well known that the friends of Mr. Calhoun refuse
to 60 into Convention before the Tariff question Is
settled, and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi
and some six other States, have agreed upon May
1914 as the time Of holding the Convention. If Mr.
Van Buren, insists upon nomination in November,
it is evident that there will be at least two loco foco
candidates in the 6eld-the effect Of which will be
either to elect Mr.. Clay by the People, carry the
election into the House of Representatives. Dull as
are the political elements at present. storm is gath
ering which will give us lots Of amusement before
the close Of the next session Of Congress. Calhoun
and Van Buren, entertain no good feelings for each
other, and if in endeavoring to trip up each other
they do not trip up the loco foco party, then we are
no prophet
3TThe loco foco party in the New.York Legisla-
ture became irreconciably divided before the ad-
journn,ent Of that body. Gov. Bouck became odious
to the radical portion of the party, and several os
nominations were rejected by the Senate. Among
the rejected we notice the name of our old friend

1.-THE discontinuance Of the mail route between
Ltchfeld and Sharon is source Of very great in.
convenience to those who were formerly accommo-
dated by it. Wshope the efforts for ss re.estabsh.
ment will not cease until the object ID fully accom-
plished. Letters from Sharon and Ellsworth. which
formerly reached here in three or four hours, are
now often three or four days on circutous route,
and are charged besides with additional postage
The good people of Milton and Ellsworth, though
within an hours ride of the Housatonic Railroadare
obliged to get all their letters and papers from Litch
field and Sharon several days later than before this
link in the long established route from Hartford to
Poughkeepsie was discontinued, and can truly adopt
the language Of the Great Magician when unable to
penetrate the interior" with his communications,
