THE TRUTH SOMETIMES NOT FOUND OUT
~. ~. Until TOO LITE. -E---.- I


OUCH is often the case IN regard to persons taking
y medicine. They are induced by plausible rea-
soning false representation and doctrines, to employ
medicines that, so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-
toms, destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system, and bring on gradual decline, terminating
in DEATH previous to the fatal termination, however,
(but unfortunately tho late) the truth is found out
that the pills, mixtures, &C. they have been taking
were composed Of the most powerful and dangerous
ingredients prepared too by persons knowing nothing
of disease or the nature Of the medicines they recon-
mend depcnding altogether upon the general doc
rine Of such mposters, that their medicines will
kill or curen Be advised then, if you find 1t ne
and cleansing the bowels, to take nothing but DIR.

Oo-The Litchfela Clay Club meet THIS EVE MING, at Wesfoyers Hotel in Bradleyville..f }5

In our paper of to-day we commence the publi- cation of portions of speech delivered in the last Congress by Mr. Huntington O's the floor cf the U. s. Senate. The views then true are still true, and the great principle of Protection for American Industry which he then ably advocated is still to be maintained and supported not only by argu- ment in the Senate, but by the people at the bal lot box.
 As is known to most of our readers Mir Hunting ton has spent the best part of his life amongst us. Until elected to the house of Representatives by the freemen of this county he dwelt in our village.
 On leaving Congress he was appointed one ofthe Judges of the Supreme Court, which office he held till chosen to fill the dgni6ed station which he now occupies with distinguished credit to himself and the state which he represents.

GEN. WASHINGTON.

writer in the New York Journal of Commerce relates the following incident in the life of WAs
 rNcroN. as showing his friendly spirit towards churches differently organized from that in which he was educated: f9
 "It is recorded of Washington, that when the army were posted near Presbyterian church, hearing that on the following Sunday there was to be communion, he sent to the minister to know
 f it would be agreeable to them that he should par take with tkem at the communion table, ,-he be- ing on Episcopalian. The clergyman sent him a meet cordial invitation to partake with them, ,say ing ha did not consider they were sitting down to Preshyi Srian table, but to Gke Lofrs sble, where all were welcome who pfofessed to follow him. Thus did thoee two great men. though of different branches of the Christian Church, unite in Chris tian love and fellowship, at the table of their com mon Msster. It were devoutedly to be wished, that all Christans of the present day were animated by the truly Christian love and charity of General Washington.

THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.

Nothing can be more cheering than the prospect of the Wings of Old Connecticut for the campaign which has just opened, and which will be termi- mated on the 1st Monday in April next. It is now certain that the true hearted whigs of our state have every where shaken off the apathy which has proved fatal to us for two years past. They are resolved to enter the field with all their forces, un
 the conviction that full vote will prove Gas it ever has) Whg victory. When we consider the vast interests which are at stake. and the impor-
 ance of starting in proper style (as did in 1s4O THAT BALL which will bound from state to state and carry with it dismay to the myrmidons of loco focosm, it would seem that no whig can fail to put forth his utmost energies to ensure the triumph of a cause with which is identified the prosperity and happiness of the country. We should all recollect that the eyes of the whole American people will be turned upon our s'ancient commonwealth" and sad will be the disappointment if we fail to give such response to the claims of that minded states man, Harry of the West, as his eminent services and unquestionable merits require at our hands We satisfied that these considerations now bear with great weight on the minds of the good people of our state. They understand their obligations, and will act accordingly. To our brethren of oth- CT counties we beg leave to say that the Wings of Litchfeld County are awake to the importance of the crisis-they intend one and all to he on hand on the first Monday in April next. In most of the towns the necessary steps have already been taken to effect proper organization, and in the residue the work will ere long be done and we'll done. We most devoutly to be wished"-to commit the desti- ny of 'the land of steady habits' to Roger Bald- win, and of the whole union to Henry Clay, and then will peyfdy in high places, and corruption and prohigacy every where, stand abashed at the display of majesty by an abused and much injured People. oa 7.a. t

POSTAGE REFoR6--Mr. Merrick of Maryland has submitted to the Senate bill proposing re. duction of postage Its principal provisions are as follows: ssrI.
 Each single letter, less than 100 miles Scents
 O {" over ~ 10
 Each newspaper within its own coun-
 ty. free. e.
 Out of the county and under 100 miles 1-2
 0 0 over ~ |
 If over A by 90 inches, with all
 pamphlets 1-2 cents per ounce.
 The Franking privelege is 10 be restricted to the President and Heads of Departments All letters to members of Congress to be free, and reasonable number ofiree stamps allowed them.
 The provisions of this bill are better than any thing we have seen proposed. The reduction on letters sent large distance may be greater than the interests of the department will justify; if the bill will doubtless be amended. tFt
 That portion of the bill which relates to the transportation of newspapers and pamphlets is just as it should be. The free transportation of news- papers within the county where printed has long been urged, and its prop<iety can hardly be ques- tioned. It would in nc way impede the progress of the maEss, and would take very little from the receipts of the Post Office department.
 MT. Merrick has devoted much time to the pre- paration of his bill. and we hope, notwithstanding the efforts of the City Press to prejudice the paiic against it, that it will meet the approbation ef the members of Congress
