From the Ne,O Yor6 Express, The Centennial Celebration.
Litch6eld, Aug.


 can give you no idea of the crowd of people congregated here from the four quarters of the country. and no adequate conception of the enthusiasm of the peo. pie in honor of domestic festival which has brought together so many thousands. A better audience of people, with great CT intelligence, public spirit, devotion to the homestead and country, have nos where seen in the land. Health and strength, strong men and beautiful wo> men, make up the moral of the vast con. grega:ion of people. The sight is most imposing one, and amidst the crowd. with no conveniences to write and nothing ut pencil in hand, can only glance at the picture of people. Tents a'e spread upon the spacious commons, with the flag of the country flying from each. In some of them are groups of friends greet> ing one another as they come from a distance. In another, party are enjoy ing their noon or evening meal Under the great tent, about thousand people are seated, listening to the oration of Judge Church. q worthy son of old LAichield. or to the poem of Rev. Dr. Pierpont. There is music in the distance soldiers in march review balconies, windows, doorways, and streets, filled with people, and all the excitement which you may imagine incidental to a celebra. ton which comes but once in hundred years.
 l find tie people of 'the land of steady habits not whit behind their brethren of warmer climes in a generous hospital> ily, in q true public spirit, or in that enthusiasm which sends a glow through tLe heart, and which, upon occasion like the present, makes the pulse beat frecr and quicker. It is delightful to behold this gathering of thousands bo'n in the same county, to hear them rehearse the memories of the olden time, to see their love for the old home and for early friends, to watch men, absent for years, and yet tracing out tLe familiar playgrounds of childhood.
 The orator declared just now that no one lived in L;tchfield who had not brother or son, kith or kin, in New York or Ohio. or some other part of the west, such had been the spirit of emigration from this county for a long course of years and from the gathering here to- day from abroad, this is no doubt true.
 Of the Oration and Poem, may say that both were splendid productions. ! heard not all of the first, but what did hear was truly noble and good. The Poem was admirable for it's spirit and wit, for its local hits and opposite illus" trations, for i;s puns upon old or familiar names. and for that gentle spirit which so often distinguishes the productions of the distinguished. I had hoped to send you the poem. as an admirable touch at the times. and, for the occasion, no' too high eulogy upon the county. the State. and New England. E. B.

A century's fight hath marked the age, Since Justice with her swo'd and scales First took her seat, with counsel sage, Amid these quiet hills and wales.

 Have of, resnunded loud and long; and warriors, fred U, Nee,iom's chatms, Have listened to the lhtllling sung They fought and blrd--Ct lu,noia rose Sublime above the st,lmy vaie, The joy of friends, the dread of foes,
 With glory hat can never fail. And far beJ ond the oceans waves,
 coniendihg nations have gone down; The ivyiwines above th. ir E, ayes,
 Where perish sceptre, lhront, and crown. rhese quiet hills, these gentle. wales,
 Now richly clothed in summers green, Have smiled as now, vixen balmy gales Swept o'er the undulating scene. No rude alarms of hostile foes -
 Have echoed mid tn csc green retreats! But calm as yon bright lakes iepose. Peace reigned OCT all these rural seats. Heaven bless the friends of early years. And all who meet once more in joy, W here Friendship here he oltar rears, To greet her sons without alloy.

SELKIRK's SETTLEMENT.

 West of the Falls of St. Anthony, is a British settlement on the Red River of the North, known by the above name. It was founded about the year 1913. by
 Lord Selkirk, Scotch nobleman, It is jus: now becoming place of some inter- est, from the fact that Whitney's project
 ed railroad from Quebec to the Pacific, will pass near it. The trade of the set clement has hitherto mainly been up Lake Winnepeg into whi ich the Red riv. CT empties. thence through the Nelson river 10 York Fort on the Hudson Bay. Recently, however, caravans have com- menced running to St. Paul's. Minnesota, sometimes drawn by oxen and sometimes by large dogs. About three months are occupied m the trp. Buffalo robes, fars, moccasins, &c., are brought in exchange for such goods as the settlers need.

Repu6licanism. We often see prac- tically illustrated the fact that neither patrician blood, wealth. or rank, are the sure passports to power in this country. Here is an item to the point. At the recent election in Indiana, tho Hon. E. H. Hannegan. late Senator in Congress and Ambassador to Prussia, was candidate for the State Legislature, and was defeat ed by one Jacob Dyce, Dutch black imith. Hannegan's aristocratic blood is said to have boiled more furiously than ever before when be got the news.

 Mr. Kilbourne- Dear Sir: Enclosed is g.. for which please send mo the En :, quirer, commencing July 3lst.
 As 1 have spare bit of paper, allow me to congratulate you on the good time You sOiU Aave had ere this reaches you. l rejoice that my native and time honored county has seen fit to avail her> self of this centennial occasion. to gather together her absent sons and daughters. l fancy I see them, donned in their best at,i,e, as the come up 70 mingle in the joyous festival in honor of the home of theit fathers--their hearts attuned 10 happiness and honest pride as they feel the bond of kindred and fraternal ats tachment strengthed, and the petty feuds of life forgotten. But I shall see them in fancy only; for l must deny myself the great pleasure ot being with you al the Jubilee.
 To avail myself of the next best plan under the circumstances, is all that is leIt me. l have therefore thought proper to appoint myself and family a commit tee of the whole, for the purpose of eel ebrating the centennial anniversary ol glorious old Litchield county on my own hook; thus constituting one humble link in the chain that will vibrate not only in every corner of our union, but in dis lant lands. Yours in haste, M. P. s. I have been fatting the old tur> key for the last three weeks.

Artful DOdglpq.

We have seen how the Massachusetts Wing
Convention has lodged the leading question OF
the day. We shall probably receive tomorrow
accounts of the two party conventions in New
York, and as the presidential election approaches
the business of making and mending platforms,
becomes brisk. There never was time when
parties and sections were at 80 much variance,
POLITICAL ingenuity, ambiguous phrases, and high
sounding professions. We shall give in our pa
per, a full account of these doines. We are
coming to period when words are changing
their meaning and losing their value

take THE occasion, in view of the prominent POI
sition he has occupied in the administration, to
express our undminished confidence In his com-
preheosive ability and craftsmanship, and to
bear testimony to the wisdom Of his counses
and the value Of his services.
RESOLVED, That the members of this conven-
tlon have witnessed with unfeigned satisfaction,
the efforts which have recently been made by
the Wings of New York, to bring about an In
telligent, honest and cordial co operation among
themselves, and with the Wings Of other States
OF the Union; that we rejoice these Efforts have
been crowned with success, and have met the
universal appreciation the Wing party through
out the country and that we heartily concur
in the sentiments which have been expressed by
them an the result of their consultation, and as
the basis of their future action.

The CanyaSs in CeoreIa.

The Subs of Georgia have been,seized, within
the last week or two with violent fit Of brag
ging. This is omnous. Every body that has
eyes to see an inch beyond his nose, is perfect,
aware that an extraordinary reaction has beer
going on in the public mind of Georgia for the
past six weeks, against the humbug constitu-
tional union party. Nor is this confined to one
locality or section. 1t is general. 1t sweeps
from the Tennessee line to the salt water mark.
and from the Savannah to the Chattahoochee
rivers. This ssFhmned Southern feeling is burn
ing in the wiregrass below, and treading with
proud nd elastic step in the high hills above us.
Go where you will, talk with whom you VIII,
take up any paper; step into any gathering. from
asmall knot OF takers to the throngs at the wa
tering places and on the highways of the State,
and you will find ndutbiable and frequent signs
of the reflux of public opinion from the ebb of
submissionism to the high food tide of an
aroused and manly spirit of Southern rights.
These signs are as apparent to the Subs as to
other people; they believe and tremble One OF
their modes of meeting the current is the MUNICH.
ausen of one "all fred" Dragging. Their ex-
travagant antics in this line defeat the end they
have in view. II they were to say, it will be a
close race, but the chances are in favor of Mr..
Cobb, looking to the great Union majority on
the convention question as an index people
might put some trust in their opinions But
when they tell us that the majorities Of last
year will be maintained and swelied for Cobb !;
why, they simply tell us what they neither be-
Iieve themselves, and what they do not expect
any body but fats to believe.
We are not weak enough to pretend to know
what the result of a popular election in so
large State as Georgia will be. But, we
can, and do honestly say, that we have never seen
a campaign open with brighter auspices for any
party, than those which now beckon on the
Southern rights party to exertion, energy, and
victory. We say there is no mistake in the re-
hux of the tide of opinion and feeling, and that
it it continues at the rate it has commenced,
neither Fillmore nor Bob Toombs, the ardent
wishes of the F;ee-soilers nor "burnt brandy"
can save the Washington city federal coalition
candidate from lofty tumble in October next.
