I PoLITIcAL-We are glad to see that Hon. Thomas Corwln has been nominated for Congress by the Re pui,icans of the 7th District in Ohio He has re- gently made speech ayowing himself independent of party, but stating fully his principles and opin ions, which generally concur with the moderate Re publican school, avoiding radicalismt and inpracti cabiilty We are always glad when we find any of our really great men returning to the political are na, ana accepting nominations to ofice It has been so much the habit of late to confer nominations mn weak and worthless men that our best citizens have been dsgusted with politics. and refused to take any share in party management It is therefore an in dieation of returning good sense to offer nomina- ton to man like Senator Corwin and his constit- uents are under obligations to him for consentins to stand. We hope that in New England more care will be taken in the future to secure the nomination of the ablest men the party affords Parties must hereafter nominate it candidates or else be beaten. 0-+~-s s-r--7 NeaD Hdven Journal Sr Courier. It was our privilege thirty years ago, when con dncting weekly journal at New Haven, to advo- cate the election to Congress of such men as William w. Ellsworth, Jabez W. Huntington and William L. Storrs and at the close of that memorable cam- paign-so disastrous to the democracy of that day we felt proud satisfaction ill proclaiming victory | with such men. Our delegation then was respected at Washington, and Connecticut was as influential in the National Councils any State in the Union.
 
 the right men are brought forward at the nonna- ting Conventions, and every district in the State may be represented in the next Congress by those who will confer honor old glorious Common wealth but if allow packing candidates of small ca!ibre to procure nominations for themselves, as the Journal Courier says we deserve to be beaten.  SIAM CHINA AND JAPAN It will be by the following correspondence, that the Lecture on Siam of which we spoke in l terms of unusual but merited commendation few weeks since is to be repeated next week in connec- ton with two others by the same gentleman The reader will perceive among the signatures to the fol- lowing note, not only the names of citizens of village but of disng visitors; and as it is rare indeed for the disappearance of any young speaker to be greeted by such high approval, feel that additional words of fours will be requisite to to Mir. Bacon full, or at least, remune:ative audi ence.
