Representatives.

It is of special importance that Whig Representatives should be elected in every Whig town. Lo' cal and personal feelings are too of- ten permitted to prevail in the choice of representatives. A single wing vote in the Legislature, may give us a whig United States Senator for six years the WANT of that one vote, may secure the election of Q 'demo- crat' to that important post
 IT. Gu, friends ought to elect their candidates for Representatives m Barkhamsted, Cornwall, Goshen, Harwinton, Kent New Hartford, New Milford, Norfolk, Plymouth. sharon, Torrington, Watertown, Woodury, Washington, Winchester, and Warren. The only towns in this county which we regard as hope lessly befogged with locofocoism. are Bethlcm, Canaan, Colebrook, and Roxbury, and even they have some times disappointed us. There are in each of these towns few glorious working whigs who, politically. de- serve to be in better company.
 In SALISBURY, for the last few years, the Wings have done nobly. Last year they succeeded in elec'ing two men of the right stamp to- the Legislature, and we have hopes for the same this spring. But there is WORK to be done, before such re- suit is accomplished. t

We hope to see the teams pouring in, on the MORNING of Election Day, from Mount Tom, Blue Swamp, Hard scrabble, Moose Horn, Gooseboro', Prospect Mines, South Farms, the
 Pitch, Algiers-from the shepaug to the Naugatuck, and from the Go- shen Line to the borders of Bethlem -all loaded down with WHlGs l! Give us the spirit of the Harrison

We saw a jOurneyman printer the oth- er day who is 80 years old, and still in good case. with all his faculties perfect and able to do a days work without spectacles.-BOst0n Post.
 In the Washington Globe office, there is a gentleman 80 years of age, who works at the case from twelve to four. teen hours every day, and walks from and to his home in Georgetown, dis tance of some three miles, every morn> ing and evening! He held a clerkship in the Land Office for thirty-two years. but for the crime of being Whig. was displaced by President Polk. and in his old age obliged to fall back upon the bu- siness to which he was educated. Gr. Collins established the first paper pub- lished in tke Western States, and his history embraces almost every vicissitude of life. He is now, although in the 'scre and yellow leaf' time of life, a hale, vig> orOus. and hearty looking man, capable of setting his eight or ten thousand day, and when the notion takes him, of delivering to the 'eraft in the effice where he works. good, sound. and wholesome Washington Whig lecture.- The click of his type stick is music to the ear of the printer. and none can look upon his venerable form without feel> ing of admiration and respset.-Boston Journal.

Judees of .Pmbate.

Our candidates in the several districts which we have heard from, are good and true whigs and will prove honest. capa- ble and faithful officers. Mir. yGrapes. our candidate for this district. held the office for some years in an adjoining diS~ trict, and gave entire satisfaction. Wm COthren, Esq, our nominee in the Wood. bury district. is a sound lawyer, and by nature and education is we'll fitted to dis> charge the peculiar and important du- ties of the station. So also of Judke Mitchell, of Salisbury, whose long sxpe. rience and tried integrity have made him . favorite with all parties. Our candidates in other districts (from which we have not heard,) are doubtless men of tho right stamp-and we should rejoice to chronicle the election of them ALI.

0ur Candidate for G0yerner.

There is one fact in the history of La Fayctte 6. Fosters career, that deserves the serious consideration of all young men. He is self made Man. He com meneed life under the disadvantages of D wer,y. aad was obliged to encounter severe and arduous difficulties in the at, tainment of an education and the position he now occupies in society. He is an admirable example to every young man of what CAR be accomplished by lndus- try, effort and energy. in free country. He had no adventitious aids from long line of titled ancestry to assist his pros gress ia entering life. Alone. unaided. he stands where he now does by the strength of his own native powers. by the energies of his own indomitable will. He is of the People and from the Peo- ple and will be the Peoples COVER. NOR. The piaeete occupies at the bar, the reputation he enjoys as a lawyer, the character be has borne as legislator. the promptaess of his discharge of the Sneakers duties, all attest his high tal- ents and eminent fitness for the station to which he is nominsted. We wish that ihe young men throughout the State would. rightly appreciate his merits the difficulties with which he has had to contend. and the honorable place Le now occupies. Let his calesr be stimulus to them iu their sndeavors to improve their condition and to rise in society. In our country. education is open to all. and he only becomes eminent who takes ad- vantage cf his opportunities. In our community. industry is better than gem jus; energy is mere productive of good chan rank and birth: the personal will to accomplish is fas preferable to the fac titieus aid of friends. however benevolene. In pursuing the dictates Of industry. in following the impulses of energy. in cherishing the powers of determination let them take Mir, Foster for an example aud initiate his progress.

DR WEBsrER's LIBRARY -The Cam bridge correspondent of the Springfield Republican says" The Library belong> ing 10 the late Professor Webster was sold at auctioM, by Leonard < Cunning> ham, last week. It was quite valuable, containing many good and rare works in medicine and chemistry. The chemical and philosophical apparatus at the Med icas college is to be sold week after next, and l should judge will not bring any thing near its value. Whether the min, eralogical cabinet. will be sold, I cannot say. There is one specimen which pos sesses B melancholy interest because of the sad end ofits owners. This is load stone, which. before being owned by Prof. Webster, belonged to LaEoisier. who-was guillotined."

4 Rew Crusade for ths Recovery Of the .HOly L0Md.-It is stated in a late mum. Der of the "Allgemeine Zeitung." that the Austrian UlLramOntane party is pre- paring considerable difficulty for Prince SchwNrzenburg, by its zeal for an object which the christian world has abandoned the recovery of Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre from the hands Jf the MahOmetans. The purpose of the cru sades is to be revived, but it is to be puisued by the way of diplc macy, ot of war. It is stated that the catholic powers, with the connivRnce of Austria, intend to obtain posscssiAp ,(it is not pre- cisely defined ho~) of all the sacred spots of the Holy Land, which will be made over to the catholic church. The order of the Holy Sepulchre will be raised te the importance once possessed by Knights Templars. ahe Pope is to be the Grand Master, and one Prince of every catholic State in Europe is to be created Grand Prior. Prince Scbwar- zenburg is not over -zealous in the cause cf the Austrian pietists, and will proba> bly, suppress tht whole plan as soon as it becomes politically inconvenient.

Death of a Millionaire.

On Sunday, the 9th inst. Cornelius Paulding, died at New Orleans, aged 79 years. He had accumulated an es, tate valued at upwards of $l,OoO,OOO, but was miserly to the last degree. He was bachelor, living by himself and for himself. denying himself the common comforts of life. and denying those wto were naturally dependant upon him, some of whom were in want. By his will, ex- ecuted short time since, he bequeathed 5000 to the public schools in the sec ond municipality, $5Ooo to the Boys Protestant Orphan Asylum, lot and building valued at $3o.ooo to tue Bap tist church in New Orleans, and the re- mainder to his heirs at law, residing at the north, among whom are the family of Mr. Sherman c. Keeler, of this town.
 i A few years since, Mr. Paulding was brought near to death by an injury re. ceived in his hand from the tooth of me- gro whom he was chastising. The will mace by him at that time, bequeatled his estate chiefly to the American Bap> tist Bible Society, cutting off his own relatives. He lived to change his mind but not his habits. and although his life was of as little use to others as to himself, his death will be public and private benefit.
