LUNATICs.-There are some very interest
ing cases of mania at the Asylum on Black
wells Island, New York. One old woman,
with a fine classic face. claims to be " the spir-
it which originally breathed upon chaos > to
this she sometimes adds that she is 'the Bright
and Morning Star" She walks the room
with a Bible constantly clasped to her bosom,
and at times utters the most pathetic and
beautiful language.
A gentleman who once was noted for his
talents and literary requirements, imagines
himself a king, and has magnificent schemes
for governing the world.
One pretty girl, who went crazy from a dis
appointment in love, will converse on many
subjects nationally. She was engaged to be
married., but a difference of religion induced
the relatives of her lover to break off the
match, and she, poor girl, had her mind unset
tied thereby.
One man has invented a process for chang
ing sea weed into tobacco, thereby keeping
IN the country much money that now goes to
Havana.
Another has been, by some trick, wronged
out of the Presidency.
The most remarkable man in the Asylum is
a Spaniard-a powerful man, six feet high,
with large black eyes and a dark swarthy skin
who is the very personifcation of the demoni-
&C mentioned in the Scriptures, "whom no
man could bind." He wears no clothes. and
as with imprisoned gesture he speaks Of the
scenes which memory or fancy pictures forth,
he displays a powerful mind unhinged-a
fierce will %unguided by reason. He has been
a SLAYER and a pirate, and as he speaks of trans
actions at the Gallinas and in Brazil, exhibits
a blood-thirstv c%ountenance.

CONNECTICUT WING STATE CON
VENTION.

The time occupied by usin preparing the
proceedings of the Wing State Convention,
held in Middletown yesterday, prevents us
from adding many comments in regard to the
meeting. But we take the present opportuni-
ty of saying that it was one of the most har-
monious and enthusiastic Conventions that we
have attended for many years. In this we
were somewhat surprised, fol we had supposed
that among all the delegates, some would be
struggled in for purposes Of mischief and dis
cord, and even disorganization-and that
the example of the Aliens and Wilson's of the
National Convention, would be followed by
4 few if not more delegates of the State Con-
v%ention. But we were rejoiced to know that
there was not even a murmur of discomfort
throughout the assemblage during the entire
day.
AT the informal meeting of the delegates on
Tuesday evening, full accounts were given Of
the political state Of feeling in all parts of the
Commonwealth. In these meetings there has
rarely been any disposition to conceal any de-
fleets or di-scouragements when they have ex-
listed, and we presume there was none on
Tuesday evening-and we are happy to say
that the accounts from all quarters were most
cheering. Some apathy existed in some towns,
as is often the case so long before an election
but in others there was an excellent spirit
~existing-and no where was there any serious
disaffection. On the contrary, large accessions
from the Cass ranks were anticipated, and
with great reason. The Van Burenites were
regarded as but a littlemore imposing than the
old Liberty Party.
In all the discussions of the session the most
friendly feeling was manifested, and an unu-
sual decree of rood humor and confidence in
the overwhelming success of the Wing ticket
universally prevailed. We did not meet with
an individual who expressed any doubts or
fears of the result of the election.-NeD Ha-
uen Palladium.

TAYLOR IN MASSACHUSETTS.

The nominations made at Buffalo cannot
have much effect upon the Wings Of Massa-
chusetts, for they already begin to see the folly
of voting for one Locofoco in preference TO an
other. The Hampshire Gazette states that all
the gentlemen in Franklin county who signed
the call for the Worcester Convention, save
d. w. Alvord, have concluded to support
Taylor and Fillmore.
We have further evidence of this reaction,
in the proceedings of a very numerous and
spirited meeting held by the Wings of Spring
field, on Thursday evening last, at which the
Hon. Charles Stearns acted as chairman. On
taking the chair
"Mr. Stearns remarked, after the o~rganiza-
ton had been completed, that it was well
known that a few weeks since he consented to
preside over a political meeting in this hall,
(the one at which Mr.. Giddings spoke,) but
on taking the chair at the time he distinctly
stated that he did not mean to commit HIM
self to that or any other movement or party
Uncommon with majority of his Wing fellow
citizens, he believed he did not feel satisfied
with the nomination of the Philadelphia Con-
v%ention. But, not knowing that he should
feel better satisfied with any other nomination
that might be made, he chose to wait, before
deciding what couzse he should pursue in the
present campaign. He had waited, and he
had to saw that HE WAS STILL A WING
But (said he1 / am going to do what can to
promote the election ofthe Wing candidates
the candidates of the Philadelphia convention.
| do this becauseI am convinced that in their
election can best be secured the best interests Of
The United Stdtes-hdt more IS TO be hoped and
erDected from their ~eLerdtion 10 office than from
that of any other candidate nor before the coun-
try"
The meeting, which was one of the largest
ever held in Springfield, was subsequently ad-
dressed by Mr.. Ashmun, who, in a most efiec-
tive speech of two hours, took a calm and dis
passionate review of the position of the politi-
cal questions and parties at this crisis. He
spoke particularly of the impotence of the
Van Buren, nomination showing how impossi-
bic it was to have any effect save to and in the
election of Gen. Cass.
Mr.. Ashmon was frequently interrupted by
loud aud spirited applause, and when he
closed John Howard, Jonathan Steele, George
B. Morris, Roderick Norton, Thomas j. Shep-
ard, Joel Brown, Ira B. Sampson, George
Bliss, and Edmund Freeman were appointed
Delegates to the State Convention, and WITH
three cheers for Gen. Taylor, three for Mil
lard Fillmore. and three for George Ashmun,
all heartily and strongly given, the meeting
broke up in high spirits and with the best
possible feeling towards their candidates and
their cause.

A Coon ONE.-A few days ago a large
number Of distinguished persons assem>
bled at Middletown, Conn, to participate
in the Commencement ceremonies of the
Wesleyan University. Among the res;
Governor BisseI was expected, and elegant
rooms were provided for him atthe largest
and best hotel in the place. At length
his Excellency the Governor arrived. He
is a plain, %diminutive looking man, though
& a strong masculine mind and great
powers of oratory. He went to the hotel
where quarters had been assigned him and
entered his name; but nobody was in who
happened to know him, and he was not
suspected of being anything more than
an everyday man from the country. Al
length he asked for a room and a bed. He
was told that every room in the house was
occupied and that the best thing they
could do for him was to make him a tenn
porary bed on the floor. To this he did
not object, and bivouacked for the night
on a blanket spread over the bare carpet.
The modification of the landlord may
be imagined when he found out, on the
next day, that the stately rooms prepared
for his Excellency were u%noccupied and
waiting, while the Governor himself had
been obliged TO take quarters on the floor
