parti, or abolitlonlsts, causing large detection
from the wing ranks, the Van Buren, democracy in
New Hampshire will probably carry that State,
while they de tacto in minority. 1t will be
seen, also, that the Tyler party, probably caused by
the approaching termination of that dynasty, has
been reduced one half since last year. while the
abolitionists, under the agitation of John @
Adams, Giddngs, and others in Congress, have
doubled in the same period of time.
This is precisely the position in which Connec-
ticut and all Ntw England stand at this time in re-
gard to Clay and Van Buren,. The abolition ele-
ment, reused now to action by the constant agita-
rion in Congress, will most probably overthrow Mr..
Clay in New England, if not in the other nom
slavery holding States-and furthermore, if Mr..
Clay cannot create counterpoise in the south, by
moderatng his high tariff views, the same causes
may defeat his election, and give the triumph to
Van Buren,. This view of the question is no doubt
the cause of Mr.. Cay's recent letters in favor o, a
moderate tariff In the south, while in this city the
ultra wings OF the Fourier class, Ignorant Of his
position, and seem to be aiding in his destruction
The approaching Connecticut election becomes
therefore, very interesting The chances are tina

MANAGEMENT OF NEwsPAPER.-The Erpres,
and american have been carrying on little con.
troversy relative to the management of a newspa-
per, respects police and law reports. The Ame-
rican abuses the Express for publishing reports
containing dlsreputabe details and licentious
scenes, and the Express defends itself on the
ground that newspaper should publish all the
news.
Looking at the whole subject from the point of
public morals, there can be no doubt but the views
of the american correct. The only error it
makes, is in attributing the evil to the wrong
quarter The publication of lcentio Gus details in
particular trials, ought not to be charged to the
newspaper presto the judge-to the Juror to
any of those parties who have a very dlsagreeable
duty to perform in hearing and giving them to the
public. The whole evil arises from the merco-
nary conduct of lawyers, who ought to discourage
the prosecution Of such suits. but who, instead Of
doing SO, drive them before the commu nity-ma'
king shows of the parties-and exhibiting them
selves and the whole community in discredtabe
light, and all for the sake of apathy, contemplate
mercenary fee OF course these remarks are gene
raj, and do not apply particularly TO the lawyers
engaged in any recent cases. But we point to the
true source Of this evil, and we believe that
the whole community agrees with us. Would
Judge Kent, we may ask, whose amiabe and NOR
al character is so exemplary voluntarily go into
such deteils1 Would jury of men of family and
reputation? Would newspaper, if it could be
avoided, go into such details9 No The whole
evil arises as we have stated. The influence ex-
erted by lawyers upon discreditabe and democrat
lied clients, for the sake of fee, is the sole cause
Of thus evil.
