OH would be an Insult 10 the intelligence OF

The New Haven Register joins issue with The
Renublic and shows mp The pre,ensions OF this
nsecrel circular" writer. And, by the way, we
are induced 10 think that much more importance
has been attached TO The movements oil this "doer
ot The dirty work" OF The Taylor administration
Than ,bey deserve. The little tricks Of this "mush-
room POLITICIAN" new that they have been dis.
covered. will have an effect somewhat adverse TO
the hopes and expectations of his employers
The people now know MIR. Truman Smith. II
they DON'T they can easily ascertain his tue char.
! ac.cr by perusing The following. The New Ha-
| ven Register says:
1.-THE Republic performs nothing more than
| common debt OF gratitude when II attempts 10
| holster up Truman Smith. He has made The Re-
| pnbc, and The Republic should stand ny him; but
We can tell its editors thai their efforts excite only
! The risibles o.! honest men OF all parties IN Con
| pecricut iwaerc MIR Smith is well known.) No
one doubts that he was the principal harlequin
| in The farce which elected Taylor, AMI he is wei
| come TO all the credit of his tricky exploits in
| that memorable affair; but there is hadiy cor
| noral's guard in Connecticut who would he viii
! ling to be found in his Train! His position as
| senator from this Stale was procured by rickeIy
and that by majority OF only one vote, and we're
| his election 10 come up Tomorrow, ne would
Stand no chance al all. The character ne has
ACQUIRED throughout The country, for his bold and
INSCRIPTIONS political coaduc!, is The same ne
| has long enjoyed al home, and more reckless
partisan does not live. A man who will stop
10 the tricks wnich he been guilty of 10 secure
poi!ica power, will require something more Than
| ihs white washing OF the government organ, 10
hide his deiormies. We respect consistent and
h ,norabe opponents, bu. Truman Smith belongs
no, TO that category
THE LEGISLATURE.-We have little
doubt tina! this body, which has been in session
a, Fsuquer Springs for The last lyo monhs, ad-
iourned yesterday. We question whether any
similar body oil men ever performed as mach i'm
porlanl legislation, so well, and in so short
time, as that whose members, we doubl mol are
now vending their Way 10 home and friends
We wish them all pleasant trips ard happy
greetings Their dulles, which have been arduous,
have been performed with zeal and industry
highly commeLdable, and in a manner which
will reflect honor on the old Comm wealth, and
credit upon The Legislature which has so ably
Performed The important duties entrusted 10 their
care. II will be seen that the House have adopt.
ed resolution changing The time OF meeting OF
The mex. Legislature, from The first Mcniay in
December 10 he tifs' Monday in January next.
The change, We believe, has been made with the
view of allowing time TO print and circulate The
new Code Of Laws.
During the pas, three months there has been
an apparen, cooling CT Of The warmth OF popu-
lar affection for General Taylor, but it has only
been apparent, and not real, AS his reception will
show by The people .Nee York Mirror.
The difference between the apparent" and The
"rca" is made quite perceplible 10 the judg
meni which has been recently pronounced against
the present "No party" p.oscriplive adminis'ra
ZION, by The "peories of North Carolina, Ten.
nessce, &C., &c. This, however. is only The
beginning Of The end" The Wings bid fair 10
WELD a barren sceptre. Their chance OF a
working majority in Congress is clean gone
Their chance for airy majority is small enough.
Their system Of deception has, even SO soon, re.
coied with vengeance upon them. Their day
is short. Democrats will only have 10 unite, 10
forget their differences, 10 join once more on The
old platform, and march forward TO their destiny
and duty, viz TO shape the policy OF this glo-
rious Democratic nation
The Washington Republic is defending Mons.
