 &r The State Convention to nominate State Ofi-' ceEs to be supported by the Whig party at the ap- preaching Spring Election, assembled yesterday in' Hartford. Of course we have not as yet heard the result of their deliberations From the expressions in some of the Whg papers, and. from rumOrs that we have incidentally heard, we inclined to thRk' that Hon. DErNis KIMBERLY of New.Flaven, has re- ceived the nomination for Governor
 But whoever may have obtained the nomination.. we are confident that he will receive the hearty and unanimous support ofthe whole Whig PaTfv We have surely suffered enough under the dominion of our last Legislature, and our State has been sufi cently disgraced by tho present vain and weak in. cumbent of the GubematOrial Chair, to cause every sound and honest Whig within its limits to come forward in support of those principles which the par ty have cherished and free from the ignomin- ous thraldom of Locofocoisn1.
 It would be indeed glorious triumph if HConnsctE~ cut would again come forward and stay the destrue- tive policy of Locofoco dominaton-andw while State after State has proved rerreans so Whg principles. and by supneness have suffered tEIeir enenzses so. gain temporary advantage over them, and even Massachusetts, staunch and firm as she has ever been has wavered in her allegiance, it would be in deed bright example, for the Whigs of our sims=- honOred State again to rally and place her where she belongs, among the foremost of the Whig States ef the Union.

 Little more than two months remain before tkiis question is to be decided-no time should be lost and we call upon our friends here and elsewhere, throughout the County and State, be up and dong Our opponents are already in the 6eld-organixing; their forces and determining, by the use of every means in their power. to retain the ascendaney that they have acquired. The supineness of the WhiR party at the last spring election was the sole cause of our defeat-the vote of our opponents was by n0 means so large they have pollsd at former elsc-. lions, and the only of their present temporary victory is to be attributed to the fact that vevy rge4 body of the Wings ahsented themselves from the. polls
 WHas OF LrrcHFiELp COUNTY! let not sh:s stigma remain-remember that great interests are depend ing Fon the result of the ensuing spring election Apart from the interest all feel, ought to feeP in the result of election for State Ofcevs member that the political complexion of our entirs delegation in Congress is to depend upon the result ! of the exertions of our Whig friends! Come up then to tho work, in days gone by organize as you were organized in 1857, '3s, 'S9 and '4O-remain steady and constant at your posts unwavering isA your principles eeaselsss in your eforts aud the. result will be complete and glorious triumph 0t We learn that on Friday last, about mile and, half below New Milford, near where the railroad. passes the skeleton of man was found-some pieces oi mans clothing were also found near the place. Who the person could have been is yet mystery.
