Connecticut Websterized.

AT the recent whig state convention holden
at Hartford, resolutions, which we append be-
low, were agreed upon in committee by vote
of Is to l, and finally adopted in convention
unanimously. Connecticut may therefore be
put down as completely Websterized.
" Resolrcd, That in his successor, Willard
Fillmore and the distinguished statesmen who
compose his cabinet, we repose the highest con-
tidence, believing that they will ever uphold
and sustain the honor of the country, the rights
of the states, and the integrity of the union,
and execute their high duties faithfully and
we yield TO his administration our hearty sup
port.
Resolrod, That while we recognize the pro-
vision of the constitution, relative TO the deliv-
ering up of fugltves from service, as binding
and obligatory, we believe that the present Fu-
gitive Slave Law should be so modified as TO be
no longer a source of fraternal discord but we
disclaim all fellowship with notification in any
of its forms, whether North or South and will
always adopt as our motto, 1.-The Union, the
Constitution. and the Laws" and BY this we
will stand or fall.
Resolred, That we emphatically deny that
we have ant intention of breaking our pliehted
faith with our southern friends, especially when
we consider that portion of them, foreseeing
the consequences Of the spirit Of acquisition
which the premature annexation of Texas Gre
ated, resisted, with us, such annexation to the
extent Of their powers"

A THANKSGIVING Incident.

THANKSGIVING. with its social joys and pleas
ing sports. is fast approaching. There are
many amusing "reminiscences connected with
the celebration of this time-honored holiday
which come crowding upon the memory, as
year after year we join in its festivities. One
incident, rather amusing. we will relate.
In aquiet village on the Kennebec, not a
thousand miles from the town of H, there
lived an honest, but somewhat too credulous
man, whom tor shortness we will name Jones.
II was : day or two previous to thanksgiving,
and our friend thought it would be well to Sc
cure nice, fat turkey, while there was sup
ply In the market, and prices were reasonable.
lie accordingly stepped into the store of a
friend. and purchased fine fowl. which he
hung up in the o6sce-for it was printing Of
flee and the boys were somewhat roguish-
until he should go to dinner. Meantime, a
smooth, clean stone. weighing about pound
and half was slipped into the turkey, and it
was thus conveyed home.
Of the conversation which occurred at home
on the discovery, our informant knew nothing !.
oue hhhieuidtcly after ulnner JoHeS WIS again
at the store of Mr.. p, where the following con-
versation took place r.....
al say, P, who did you buy that tur-
key of, l got here this morning' Did you ever
know him to cheat:''
NO." replied P.,-who had been let into
the secret,-I've bought great many Of him
and as to lis cheating, why should as soon
suspect Parson -"
"well," said Jones, "if you don't call THAT
cheating, l don't know what you would" at
the same time pulling from his pocket the
stone, and holding it up to full view. Il
found that in it any how, and i'll was in your
place, I'd make him pay dear for it,
You did" exclaimed p, and are you sure
it was in the turkey when you bought it :"
Certainly you don't suppose put it
there, do you =
"Well, let me see how much it weighs, and
if you say so, I'll pay you that amount back
The stone was found TO weigh pound and
half. and P. paid him eighteen cents for it.
Do you wonder, reader, that Jones has less
confidence in human nature than formerlys
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1850-12-12
The Auburn Votes.

The Argus publishes most conclusive and
overwhelming refuta,ion of the story, that AZ
more votes were thrown for Mr. Fessenden in
Auburn, than were counted for him.. 1t is true
that Al votes for Mr.. Fessenden on one of the
counts, were put down by the clerk, and after
wards erased. For they were erased for the
purpose Of adding 10 other ballots, and then
60 was put down instead of AZ. Mr.. Little
field of Auburn has a memorandum of counts,
exactly corresponding with that of the clerk
Both show the erasure of the AZ votes, and the
explanation of Mr.. Littleheld, sustained BY one
of the selectmcn, and all the circumstances in
the case, will satisfy everybody, that they were
not lost, but are. included in. the go votes for
Mr.. 'Fessenden, put down Immediately after
wards

Steamer Ocean.

Mr.. EDITOR This favorite of the travelling
public, made her last trip for the season, on
Monday having on board her veteran command
or, Kimball, who has so long, faithfully and
ably served them, and to whom they are under
many obligations for the facilities, and the
small expense of their travelling. 1t is under
stood that the Ocean will have thorough
ovcrhauling this winter, and have new boilers
put into her. This is as it should be, so that
she may be in good condition, to come upon
the Kcnnebec early in the Spring, as Resula-
tor of Fares. 1t is only when she is withdrawn
that the public have a feeling sense of her i'm
portance and influence upon Railroad fares
1t is to be hoped that another season, she may
be so well patronized, as to enable the rroprie-
tors to put on another boat that shall take
them through to Boston with railroad speed.
