AMENDMENT OF TIE cossr1rurros

AMI MsoDMENA UT ttlEl SONskII0llSNs
 The Hast Legislature provided that the proposed amendment of the State Consiitu- lion, tsvhich requires a man 10 he able to read the provisions of the Constitution which he swears to observe, before beirg admitted to the privileges of an elector,) should be voted upon at the approaching town elections-and we consider the matter of sufficient importance to call attention to the remarks of the Courant on the subject:
 We trust that the intelligent voters of State, long known for its advance iu educa- iion, will not hesitate at engrafting this pro- vision in the Constitution. It would be disgrace To any community for men 10 swear to support the acquisitions of an instrument which they cannot read, or for it's voters to be incapable of even reading the names of tte men for whom they cast their suffrage. Such ignorance places them under the con trol of demagogues of any party, who can direct their votes.
 That there are electors incapable of read ing, now exercising the rights of freemen, we acknowledge and regret. This new law does not interfere with their rights. IL sim ply provides that, for the future, nn nsuch per sous shall be admitted 10 the privileges of ffeemeH. The requisition is a reasonable one. in a State where gra,ni,ous education is furnished to all at the public expense. We hope that the friends of this measure will rally on the first Monday of October for it's support We hear that it has become one of the determinations of he Democratic leaders to opreyent the passage of this amend ment, because it was originated by the Hin doos." These sad fellows, the ..Hindoos,' 2 must see to 1t then ihat SUI h an important measure is mol defeated. Do you hear, SAM?
 The Democratic papers have already de- clared their determination of resctading ev- cry measure passed by the American party at the last Legislature, merely because hey pgssed #. This Is Hoble and patriotic, aud precisely what we could expect from party with whom spoiis are of more importance .han principles, aud whose strength IS deri- we'd from an ignorant and Prejndiced foreign voie. These demagognes declare thai the Free Banking system must be eresiored-ihe declarations in favor of the restriction ot slavery rrseinded--the ne,c 5udtc,d arrauge- n,eat destroyed-this amendment 10 ihe con stitu,ion defeated ; and, in flct. everything which ,he American parly built up, over thrown. SAM, siaH II Ie so
 We can see why the demagogue leaders of the Sham Democracy are opposed to this amendment. They fear ihe spread of know ledge among the people, lest they should see the shams of their pretensions 10 Demo cracy. They are unwilling 10 require the capabilty of reading the Constitution to be necessary to those voting under 1t. les, it should prevent some ignorant foreigner from becoming citizen of Connecticut, with inc salt sea-spray still wetting his locks, and the brogue of his native country st.il adlicr- ing to his tongue.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

We are again obliged to record a terrible sacrifice of human life by theacnpidity and scarelessness of a railroad corporation. On
 "Wednesday last an acrident occurred on the
 Camden and Amboy Railroad, near Bursing- ton. N. !, which approaches the Norwalk disaster, in the loss of life and limb.
 The accident was caused by two horse vehicle on the track-the train, consisting of five cars, was backed and came in contact with this and was thrown of.
 One car, it is stated. ran completely thro'
 another, and almost every person in 1t was killed or wounded NIT. B. K. Mills of Bridgeport, was one of the injured. He was badly bruised, but was able to reach
 home. Mir. Leeds and daughter of the same place were in the same ear with Mir. Mills Mir. L. was somewhat injured but his daugh- ter escaped as by a miracle. It is stated that she was thrown ont of the car as the side was torn of, and she received no injury. An account says, when the train was
 backed towards Burlington, they were go- ing at very rapid raie-aboui D miles per hour, bat the engineer ayers it to be only
 Is miles, and when near Burlington the
 rear car which was entirely empty, and was lighter car than the others, ran into span of horses driven by Dr. Hennekia. The
 horses were rolled and crushed under the car, being carried distance of thirty or forty yards. The empty car was then thrown outside the track and down an embankRient of or feet The next car, filled with passengers, was thrown off the track and
 driven 50 or 60 yards further along through the sand, finally lodging crosswise the track. The third and fourth cars were then jam
 med against the second, crushing it and its passengers in an awful manner, one being thrown of the track to the right and the other to the left. The fifth Gar was then
 forced in between the two preceding it, The greatest loss of life was among the
 passengers in the thizd car, but that in the
 second and fourth was also terrible.
 One man had his head mashed literally to jolly; another was cut completely in
 two; another was buried in the sand, and
 so thoroughly mangled that his body was removed literally in shoveis-full.
 The sight of the killed and dying was so
 utterly horrifying that, for five or ten min , utes afterwards, those whe escaped, found it impossible to make single movement 10
 extficate their less fortunate companions.
 The whole number killed is twenty-two,
 and the number of those severely wounded
 is eighty-making the destruction greater than any previous accident in this country,
 that at Norwalk alone excepted.

ANOTHER MsxnaS Wan PRosssL..- There is reason to believe ,hatan organized invasion of Mexico is now on fool within the limits of the Uaited States Indeed, 1t is publicly proclaimed that one Capt W.

sUpERIoR COURT.

s5 >t = - AsANSAA VI SAA f
 The first term of the Superior Court for this County, under the new system, was opened on Tuesday week, Judg- WALDO presiding. The following cases have been tried:
 State vs. Edpards 9erUl This was a prosecution for stealing money from the drawer Of the store of Seth Thomas & Son. Plymouth Hollow. Prisoner plead guilty.
 Stale vs. Remuius PoAcr.-Informatio for forging an order on Benjamin Hubbard of Litchfeld, for two dollars, which was passed off to Messrs. Picket & Smith, on the l7th of Marci, last, for goods bought by the accused. Prisoner is a boy about r years of age. It was claimed by the de- fence that prisoner had authority from Hub bard to draw ihe order; this was denied by Mir. Hubbard. It appears in evidence that the order. was drawn in Hubbard's house in the presence of his wife and son, and that the articles purchased at the store were car ried by prisoner to Habbard's hoase-the prisoner at the time being in 'he employ of said Hubbard. The Jury after quite pro- tracted deiiberation brought in verdict of guilty. For State, Hall and Todd 1; for prisoner, HolIister and Graves.

THE WESTERN EXODUS There never has been season when emigration to the west was greater than the present. An un- preceden.ed tide is setting towards Iowa, and the State is filling up as rapidly as means of transportation can be secured thither. We find that our county is furnish ing large number of emigrants, and scarce ly day passes but that we hear of some adventurer packing his trunk for Iowa or Wisconsin. Some of our most prosperous farmers are selling out, and with family of some half-dozen sturdy boys, starting for land which yields richer return than the rocky hills of Litehfeld county. We have had score of subscribers within the past month order the direction of their paper changed to some new location at the west and the hearing and reading so much of the tatness of the land, has really given us- old as we are-some i,cinses of the western fever.
 In this connection. we are induced to copy from Western exchange a few words on the healthfulness of the climate:
 A great many false reports are circulated in the east respecting the healthtulness of the west, very mach to the disadvantage of 1 the country, as well as to the discourage.
 nent of those who are anxious 10 emigrate hither. We have seen and heard of no mure sickness for year past in this country l than charaeterzes the most healthy portions of the east-and one scoarge of humanity, namely, consumption, is seldoa known; but 1t IS d fact. that many who have come here from the eas. with that disease seated 1 in them, have been completely restored to l health and vigor. Coughs and colds are among the rarities of the climate, and one may attend church of Sunday without being disturbed with continual chorus oi ! coughs, hacks and sneezes, as Is oiten the l case in the east. We advise eastern people not to stay away from this country through fear oi | disease, for here they would be rendered more healthy. Nearly year and hall l ago VIC came from New York with unsound lungs and broken down health, and with the moral certainty that We could not long survive in that climate. We began tc
 mend as soon as we came here, and never
 were more healthy in our life than a, present. The poor cadaverous shades and
 weakly ones of the east. especially among those who live in the cities, would reaI
 great benefit in this locality. The hollow
 eye. e.sunkeucheek and emaciated form woul. soon give place to a fresh, hale and robus 1 constitution.

CATTLE SHOW ANDFAIR.

The Litchfeld County Agricultural So- ciety are to hold their annual Ca,lle Show ant Fair in this village on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 2d and Sd. Our agfioul- tural friends are probably all aware that unusual exer,ions are in pragIess to render the coming exhibition more attractive than any previous Fair of the Society. Money has been literally subscribed, and several new features will be introduced to add to ihe interest of the occasion; i,ack is 10 be prepared for trial of the speed of horses, and riding-match for ladies will De held--so that we may look for good display of horses, matter which has re- ceiyed but little attention heretofore. Pre- miums are offered for the best riding by ladies, and MT. Da,teH also offers valuable riding-whip to each of the first ten who enter tha list. The Society are to hold the Fair under an immense ten, procured from the Fairfield County Society, and will thus k,rnish advantages for exhibition whicl. have never been possessed before.
 'rhe Greenwoods Agricultural Society have appointed their Fair on "Wednesday and Thursday of the same week, trut We learn that there is n probability of ,he time being changed in order that those disposed may have an opportunity of attending both exhibitions.
