ANECDOTE.-A certain rampant loco loco re- siding not thousand miles off recently went to Hartford. and purchased lot of rolled iron (about 1900 lbs.) On arrival home he addressed himself to worthy young mechanic present, exclaiming- "There have been obliged in purchasing this iron to pay $26 by reason of the black whg tariff" This the mechanic (who happens to know thing or two) doubted, and fortunately obtained sight of his bill, when To! it turned out that Mr. Loco had purchased his iron one cent and half per pound cheaper than he eyer did before }! No! no most sapient loco ifyou wish to set traps to catch the votes of mechanics and laboring men, you must re- sort to some other subject than the present excel lent Tariff, which is doing much for the labor of the country.

hs-The Convention of the 22d surpassed in point of numbers any political assemblage ever convened in our good old State. The weather was SO remark ably serene and beautiful that it would seem as if Providence itself smiled upon our patriotism. The land of "steady habis with all it's alledged phlegm and coldness, can upon proper occasion be reused to as fierce an enthusiasm in the protection of its rights against destructive dogmas and reckless le gislaton as the ruder west or the more fiery south TEN THOUSAND young whigs responded by their presence to the stirring call for this conventions From the shores of the Sound-from the rugged green woods of the north west-from thousand pleasant valleys where the rushing stream turns the wheel of human industry-from farm house, from shop, and from every abode of human life, came up the mighty gathering to celebrate, in renewed alc glance to his principles, the birth day of the Fa- ther of his country"
 After the ordinary preliminary arrangements, the vcntion was addressed by Wm. w. Ellsworth, late Governor of this State, in manner at once digni- fled, eloquent and deeply impressive. After him followed other able and interesting speakers until at last came of Kentucky's favorite sons, Gov. Morehead of the United States Senate At his rres- ence the welkin rung again. For an hour he en- chained, in strains of mingled mirth and pathos, the attention and enthusiastic interest of the vast multitude. In the evening he again addressed an audience as large as the immense City Hall could contain when crowded almost to suffocation. The effect of these speeches was electric, and of ture which our loco focos will be furnished with the means of properly approaching four weeks from Monday next.
 Gov. Morehead is apparently from 45 to 5oyears of age, and possessing much of that indescribable style and manner which belongs to the gallant state of his birth. He is thin in person, but we'll knit, and standing six feet two or three inch es in height. As popular orator he is one of the most happy and effective speakers ever listened to, and such seemed to be the impression of all who heard him. The Wings of Connecticut are under ordinary obligations to him for the sacri-
 fees and fatigue he must have undergone in his long journey northward at this season. and led by no oth inducement than the patriotic love of that cause which he regards as right.
 The goodefec of this Convention will prove to be incalculable. Not only was much valuable po- litical truth there imparted, by which the waver- ing opinions of many present were confirmed, but adegree of earnest enthusiasm was excited which will not die away with the day and occasion which gave it birth, but which, didsing itself over the whole state and operating with vigorous influences in every community, will abide and gather strength and intensity until the principles of immutable truth from which it springs shall triumph in the election of HENRY CLAY. -....t

IMpRTSONMENT FOR DEBT.

And this law the loco loco legislature of 1887 entitled fla .aes Co Abolish hnpyisoanaeast tor De6s" This was the law that the Whig legislature of 1898 repealed- Roger s. Baldwin had nothing more to do with the repeal, than any other member-but we ask all h. terested to look at the law of 1884, and say wheth- CT more infamous fraud ever stained the statute book.
