THE DIFFERENCE.

In the 27th Congress Connecticut was represent ed by sir achigs who were out and out Tarifnaen, and who on every occasion sustained policy of the highest importance to New England, and in fact to the whole country. The bill, it will be re- collected, was carried in the House bya vote of lO4 in the affirmative to 103 in the negative, and the vote of our state at the critical moment fell n- to the right scale with irresistible force. So much for having Connecticut represented by good tho- rough going whigs. But how is it now } We are at present represented by four tnll-6lOORed lOco- focos. Repeated attempts have been recently made to repeal the Tariff. and tsco oof o,n en,Jers (Afess,s Seymour and Steacart) havc Uotea q, the a6i'mat;ue, and the other t1co (JMessrs Catlin and Simons) in Me negatice. This makes the vote of Connecticut on a question of such infinite importance absolutely OO! So far as the Tariff is concerned the delegation might as well vacate their seats and return to their constituents. Who ever dreamed that the voice of Connecticut on the Ta- has before once occurred. On the passage of the bill through the Senate in the summer of 1S42 the Hon. J. w. Huntington (whig) voted in the afir- native and Hon. Perry Smith Qoco) in the negative, which then also made the vote of Connecticut 1! Such the wonderful feats performed by the loco focoism of our state and such the hmliating posi- ton in which we have been and are placed by the unprincipled demagogues who have too long influ- enced and controlled the state through the agency of the Hartford Times and Columbian Register, All we could say in the Senate when the bill was passed, and in the House when the most strenuous efforts are making to repeal it, was and is %!
 People of Litchfeld county will you not re- member these things' and when the votaries of free trade Gall on side) shall attempt destroy the present tariff the voice of Connecticut will be heard and felt as she speaks by the Senators to be appointed at the next Legislature) under the im- pulse ofa lofty ypatrotism her emphatic NAY! NAY!
Litchfield enquirer., 1844-02-22

01-Since the 1st of December there have been fourteen member of Congress elected to supply va- cancies in the present House, THIRTEEN of whom are Wings! The whigs will also, without much doubt, supply the vacancies occasioned by the re- signation of Messrs. Wise, Gilmer and Wilkins The ball IS rolling on!

Loco FOeo .NommatiOns.-Or S. Seymour Is loco loco candidate for the Senate from this (15th) district. We do not learn why Gen. Abernethy- ted on that side in the district-was dropped.

MR. ApANrs,-In the Enquirer of the sth inst. you have published communication from some one attacking the doings and motives of the Agri- cultural Society of this county Though the article most clearly refutes itself, yet justice requires that one assertion therein made should be corrected Ii is this: "'rhe committee consisted of one farmer, who no doubt would have done his duty if it had been in his power, one military man who is chant, singing master, and one tailor accompa- nicd with baehelor,' making in all but four, for the person he calls singing mastel'' believe is the only bachelor that was member of the Exec utive committee that year. Now, Sir, this con- mittee is composed of ten members, ,and for the last year were Newman Holly of Salisbury, Edward A. Phelps of Colebrook, Leman w. Cutler of Water- town, Alexander Norton jr. of Goshen, Ralph G. Camp, Frederick Phelps and Stephen Trowbl dge (Secretary and Treasurer) of Litchfeld, Herman Baldwin and Daniel B. Brinsmade of Washington, and Griswold Woodward of Torrington-all prac- hcal tansers except the Recording Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman of the Committee on Man. ufatcures. There are other statements equally er- roneous that might be noticed, but will leave them, and the motives of the writer, to be correct
 ed by the judgment of discerning public.
