INJURED INNocENcE.-Ln the lately is
sued War Proclamation of President Polk
we have read, with no little amaZement, the
following lines. "And ] do moreover ex-
hort all the good people Of the United States,
as they love their country as they feel the
tcr0ngs uhich hare forced on them the last re-
sort Of injured nations, j and as they con-
suit the best meas, under the blessing IF d.
rine Providence j &c. &c. Sci" this is
far enough for our purpose.-We should
like very much TO discover what the Pres
.ident's idea of an "injured nation" might
possibly be. BY disgraceful union Of vi
olence and fraud, We have robbed from a
neighbouring Republic, one of the fairest Of
her Provinces. Not content with this We
have pushed forward, without the shadow Of
a reasonable pretext, an armed force into
the heart of another Province. We have
erected batteries within reach of one OF her
cities, and threatened TO level it to the earth.
We have blockaded her rivers and harbors !;
and when at last the worm upon which we
have so Tougly trampled, turns upon US, as
even the worm will, the highest officer of
our country can graveiy speak of the
,orongs which have forced on Iuslthe last
resort of injured nations" He can dare
even TO invoke the blessing of divine Prov
idence" upon our cause as if Divine Prov
idence could have any other feeling in re-
gard to our course upon this subject, than
that of the most perfect abhorrence'-Ift the
occasion were not Of too serious charac-
ter for light words, we should say that the
paragraph we have quoted from the Wa,
Proclamation Of our present Chief Magis.
trate was the sublimest joke that was evel
yet perpretrated by civil flnctinary.

FIRST SETTLERS OF CONNECTICUT.

Hon r. R. Human, late Secretary of
State, has just issued the first of a series
of numbers, under the title of "A Catal-
ogue of the first Puritan Settlers of the
Colony of Connecticut. with the time of
their arrival in the Colony, and their
standing in society, together with their
place of residence, as far as can be dis
covered by the records The evidence
is collected from the State and town rec

81 pages, and contains information in &C.
cordance with the design of the work.
The names are arranged in alphabetical
order, and all the information on record
concerning each is given. We suppose
it may be had at the book stores.

o the Ed,t,r of the Enquirer :

To the Ed,t,r of the Enquirer:
SiR-Permit me to make statement OF facts
and ask your advice as to the means | should
employ for relief of present grievances and a
restoration to former privileges.
am an Englishman by birth, and by profess
sion Pudler. For the last four years ! have
been in the employ of Messrs, M and j. Peters,
and during the whole OF that period have had
the privilege, in common with all others, Of
purchasing what ardent spirits wanted at the
store OF Chttenden s. Toucey Tor F. Chitten-
den & Coz But suddenly, on the Goth ult.,
was denied by Mr. F. Chittenden, who gave
strict orders to his clerk, accompanied with
oaths, "n no: to let one of Peters hands haze a
DROP" Mr.. Chittenden asked me if | were a
voter; to which replied that was not. He
then said, If was voter he believed would
vote wing. Again, on the Both, asked for
spirits and was refused. One of my brother
pudlers, Daniel Burgess, then said he would
treat me; and the bottle was set on the counter.
Burgess drank. and asked ma to parlake. but the
clerk snatched the bottle away, and obtained
none.
Now, sir, if this is the effect OF the License
Law, am decidedly opposed to it. Mr.. Chit
tenden's partner, His Excellency, Isaac Toucey,
recently said, in certain official document, that
that law was .unequai in its operations" and,
il Governor Toucey's practical Interpretation Of
it is correct, l fully agree with him that II IS
"unequal." and ought to be repealed or amend
ed. Mr.. Chittenden still sells spirits to the
workmen OF other iron masters, and to his own,
to their full satisfaction; while those Of Messrs.
Peters are excluded E. p.
P.S. Iwould not be understood as intima.
ting that Messrs. Peters workmcn are proscri-
bed because they are Wigs, OF because they
are in the employ of Wigs: my object is, to
show the d" inequality" Of the License Law, and
to inquire how may obtain a redress Of the
grievances complained OF.
Mr.. Edward Parker is the person agrievsd
BY this "stringent operation Of the License
Law as it is administered in Woodville. His
case is certainly !" hard one; and we are at
a loss what remedy to propose, for the Governor
says his business is " expressly sanctioned by
the law Of the land" We specially commend
the case to the Legislative Committee on the
License Law; and possibly His Excellency de-
signed the prescription Of which our cores
pendent complains, as IN illustration Of the
ruth of his remarks on the inequality" Of the
law.

Mr.. Butler thought both the Chairman

that the whole facts might be called up af-

in refusing to hear the dispositions. He al
so stated that a deposition was received
after the trial before the committee, from
Gideon Hall, who is stated in the report as
having mutilated, although not intentionally
the two votes for Rcllin l.. Beech, did not
have in his hands at all the two votes in
question, but they were taken upb Mr.. Pratt
| the Moderator.
Mr.. II. stated other facts within his
knowledge, in regard to the case-one of the
ballots claimed to be torn had, after the word
Beech, a margin wide enough to have the
letters Ger" written on it, SO it could not
have been torn, but was so written. This
pretence Of mutilated votes was a new one
and not heard of in Winchester till within
few days. Two persons, psry accidentally
happened here, and testified before the COM
mittee. This story Of two>votes was wur.
thy Of schemer, and got up here at dis
lance. There is no proof that these two
votes were ever written 'Beecher.'
Mr.. Catlin replied to Mr.. Hall, defending
the committee.
Mr.. Perkins said the vote showed that

Mr.. Catlin said the importance of the sub,
ject was such as to induce him to move that
the report and resolutions be laid on the table,

The committee on the petition of Frederick
Watson for reimbursement, reported favorably
with resolution appropriating $64 IS for this
purpose.
The resolution was discussed by Messrs H ii.
lister of Salisbury, Selden, Burial, kasson and
Robinson, and passed. Mr.. Perkins took the
ground that the same case was before the CON-
mittee last year. and the legislature had given
MIR. Watson as much as the committee had re.
commended. Mr.. Burial stated that the whole
amount of Mr. Watson's claim (nearly $I5O)
was tor money actually paid out, and last wear
he obtained only half. A law has been passed
since which covers cases similar to that of Mr.,
