 The Whigs must no, suffer the second day's election in any town 10 pass un, contested. They should look we'll 10 the choice ot Representative as much may depend on tho Lcgisl ,tnrc, and in the doubtful and closely contested towns our friends must be on the alert.

Anr IN HARTFORD,

We speMt very pleasant hour the other day in the establishment of Mir. J. E bat'erson' Manufacturer of Monuments, Sc, North Man Street in this city. His works exhibit taste in design and skill in execution, which must be gratifying to every lover of Art. Among his recent productions, is an octagonai tont ot Italian Marble, enriched with some very ex' ouisite carving upon the exterior. In choos> ing his plan for this the artist has, II we ms take not, very much to his credit, copieo tne Font of St. Mildred's, Canterbury, as gwen lh Bars Anglican Church Architecture. Our attention was also arrested by very beautl'uI monument, about to be erected in one ot our burying grounds, Tn the form of Cross. ot 'he Patterson stone, which is fine specimen oi Christian Art. And a small exquisite Mccall, ion of one of the distinguished statesman oi our country, executed in statuary marble oy one ot the workmen in this establishment would do credit to any artist ofwlder reputation and be an ornament in any parlor or any IIora' ".
 We advise our friends who are fond ot such things, or are desirous to obtain work ot thIs kind, to make a visit to MT. Battsrson's esta6' lishment He has provided himself with En- glish and American works on Sepuschral Mon uments and other departments of Art, which in ad dlition' to his natural talent for the bus'' ness, enable him to do justice to the very m porta~, subject to which he has devoted ms attention.-[C Calendar

Itved entirely alone, occupying a smal u,e on a piece of land which formerly be- j .;cd to him, but which he had sold 10 on, l: cert Hamilton, of Toronto. The price h.

Robert Hamilton died in tS3I, leaving all his property to his brother James.
 James Hamil.sn did not pay the E20 regu, larly to Hsaton, or fulfil the stipulation con esrn;ny the impro, emr>t of the ten acres--for which reason Heaton hS c.

Celestial phenomenon.

A friend informs us that on Saturday night be witnessed a beautiful spectacle an the heavens tor nearly m hour. l: txactly resembled cross, was quite luminous, and lil,le south of tue moon, ubich doubtless caused it. Tie Rev. James Mckay has furnished the follow ing description of the phenomenon to correspondent of the Courier. Mr. Nc Kay states the length of time which the cross was seen, to have been l5 minutes but our friend thinks he must have ob- served i, for nearly an hOur:-
 "On the night of Saturday, the 9th lh- stant, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, very extraordinary phenomenon appeared in the heavens when the moon was about eight or tcn degrees above the horizon. Thcre was a ve,v thin veil of mist in the East. Al precisely the same elevation as that or the moon, and about 20 degrees to the south of it, we saw luminous appear ance which strikingly rescmbled crosS' the horizontal beam extending beyond the vertical one, three times further on the south side than it did on tho norih.- Both beams appeared to be almost per> fec,ly straight; the breadth of each be- ing about quarter of degree. Al 'heir intersection we observed an ill-de6ned spot, twice or three times as bright as any other part. The upper end of the vertical beam showed faint prismatic colcrs. Tho northern part of the ho1i- xontal beam disappeared when the re- maining parts of the figure became most brilliant.
 "This phenomenon was visible, as have said, on the south side of the moon and it lasted about fifteen minutes. A''sf we had gazed in as,ouishmsnt for about five minutes, we observed on the north side of the moon, at the same distance from the Iuminary. and tho samo eleva- toa above the horizon. 0 bright appear euce without any definite outline. Al first if was very faint; but it gradually became about as brigh. as the Milky Way l on clear night
 "Bo,h vanished about the same t'me' bu, not suddenly. l looked for other pbeno,nena, but could discover none. Ii theso were arcs of great cirles around the moon, the remainders of the circumter- enccs vera invisible. ."-New Haren P0'' laaium, March 25.

Remember This !

Tba, the admition of Texas into the TTn;on enabled the free traders to overthrow ,b. tariff of '42. Had it not been for the Senatorial votes from Texas, Mr. Walkers visionary and destructive bill would have failed, and the beni6cent act of AZ would now be the law of the land. It was to gain advantages of this character that the South a,,rociously violated the Constitution by ob,rudipg upon the Union foreign and an indepen ndent State. The dough-faces of the North co pera,ed, aud all the best interests of the country were sacrificed on the altar of party. The war with Mexico, costly and bloody as it has been and may he, is likely to be among the least of the evils resulting from the admission of Texas. People ot Connecticut! rememember that the destruc' ton of the tariff of AZ is one of the fruits oi the Texian iniqui,y.

InSrnerahlc COmpaniOnS,

The history of the world proves .ha, wars and taxation or a national debt are insepar- able. If we must have wars, we say giv, us taxation and no national debt. But such is not the policy of the men in power. We will have a war with Mexico, say they, and if it brings on us National Debt, lct | come-we will lay no burshens on the people
 How dastardly for MT. Polk and his friends to involve us in costly war, and yet skIlk from the responsibility of Taxation. No, no Messrs. Locofocos, if you will amuse your selves with war, great or small, you must come up to the mark, and tax the people. They will, sooner or later, be compelled to foot the bills. You may put off the evil day, you may create an enormous debt, you may divert the unthiLking and frivulous with the cry of glory but soon the day of reckon l. ing will come you will set the tax sathercr on the people, and he will chasIise them as with scorpions.

DEATH BED DEVELOPMENT.

The Washington sPondent oi Inc N' f' Commercial says-
 A very singular development has occurred req in regard to the origin of the libel suit De, !s, tween Gov. Thomas and Mir, Benton' u "'l' be remembered that there were produced cer' tain letters addressed tn the late Senator Linn signed Sarah MDowell, which excited jealous and revengeful feelings in Mrs. Linn and were the cause ct the suspicious which sae eh,er> taincd of Mrs. Thomas, then Miss sarah M M; :. Dowell, as having estran-ed from her she all ec,ions of her husband. The contents ot these letters were communicated by Mrs. Linn tc Gov Thomas. It has now been proved oy singular accident that these letters were gen uine, but that they were not written by Mrs Thomas, but by female of less env'aole repu' tation, named Sarah M'D"weil now recently deceased The proof of this fact has been brought to light by the administrators ot this Sarah M'Dowell, now recently deceaced' u Is contained in papers left to their charge among other effects. 1t is said that Col. Benton wa: deeply affected when he was shown the eVid' ence of the singular mistako and d"lns'ou nn der which all the parties to this unfortunate dispute had been acting.

What did they do for the people? Why
 they commenced the session on the 9th day oi May. and closed on the 18th day of June. being the longest session ever held in this staic.- They repealed the Registry law. which was the most salutary law ever made for the pro- lection and purity of the ballot-box. They passed Gov. roucey's " stringent or pucker law. They took from the ax.payers of the state, some five or SIX thousand dollars more than any other legislature ever did, for their services.

DEATH OF CHILDREN.

A writer in an English Magazine, speak ing of the death of fvetyyoungchildrsn beau tifully remarks :-The siRlsss soul ot the cherub child tha, dies on its mothers breast wings its way to heaven, unconscious Of the joys it might share here, as also one el the many, many miseries of which it might be partaker. This can hardly be called Death. It is but the calm, soft ebbing of the gentle tide of life, tc flow no more in the troubled ocean of existcnee-it is but the removal of a fair creature, too pure for earthly stay,' to make one of that bright band of cherubim, which encompasses in glory, and in joy the throne of1he living
 But glorious as may be the change oi the dear little one, it is hard for the mother to part thus early with her fair hair cd innocent-.o break off all the delightful ties of parting tenderness that had bound her, eyea in a few months, to tAas gentle form forever.'
