We see nothing in the future policy of the Demo cratic party but wild and reckless crusade for Southern aggrandisement and the increase of the slave power It proposes nothing for the protection of national industry while the laboring interests ngush-nothing in behalf of crowded and land less population while specnlators fattening upon western wldernesses--nothing in behalf of an op- pressed and for the restraint of gigantic social and political evil-nothing which tends to elevate us as people. to develop the benelcence of our po litical institutions. to advance high our national character.
 The democratic party is engaged in a wild head long chase tur party supremacy and political power reckless of all considerations prudential honest or humane. MT. Bishop runs with the pack, neither
 the first nor the last neither the best the worst
 but bad enough in all conscience. The people of Connecticut, the voters of the 4th Congressional District do not approve the conduct of such party and such representative.

KossurH IN LoNDoN.-One of the regular contributors to Bonners Ledger, whom we take to be Mr. J. H. Raymond, of this city, furn- ishes, in the number issued to-day, long and entertaining account of visit made last fall at tie present residence of Kossuth in London.
 The Hungarian patriot is established in Up per Gower street, Bedford square. He is in straitcned circumstances, living on the pro- ceeds of his lectures and contributions to news papera. sked out by the remnant of his wife's o2O. 900. most of which was lost by railroad in vestments in the United States. Kossuth still sdmires our country and it's institutions, and thinks he made some mistakes on his visit here, in consequence of his ignorance of our affairs aud the advice of interested friends In Euro- pean politics he takes warm interest, censur- ing with unqualified severity Orsini's plot against Napoleon's life, and Mazzili's local i,l- surrcctions, as identifying the cause of liberty with murder and assassination. He still con fdeatly expects it's triumph in Europe and other lands and whether he shall live to see it, appears to him 8 matter of small conse- quence.
 The question what became of the $l00,000 collected by Kossuth in this country, is an- swered by the writer. Kossuth did not appro- priate dollar of it to his own use. but expend- ed 1t all on the political objects for which it was contributed. By it's aid he sent agent after agent on expensive revolutionary service to Hungary two or three of whom were exc cuted, aud the vigilance of Austria rendered his schemes abortive.
 "1t is seven years," says the writer, since Kossuth left the United States-hut he looks twenty years older now than he did then. His flowing beard, then jet black, is now plentiful ly sprinkled with gray. He has grown very bald, and conceals his badness by combing his hair over the top of his head. His face is mafked with deep wrinkles, and the impress of care, and grief, and hopes long deferredisd deep lystamped upon his features. But his smile is as sweet, his voice is as deep and melodious and the light of his dark eye is as soft and al tender as in the days when they so won thu hearts of our people, and made the soul of thi nation vibrate like the strings of the lute to th' touch Of genius and of skill"

TIE NEW STATE.-Oregon is an immense region. It contains lS5, 600 square miles, which is as much four five of the largest Eastern States put to- gether and larger than all New England and New York. So dist;ut will its capital be from it's bor- drs ultim ste!y, when emigration has settled it throughout, that it will probably need to be divi- ded once rr twice more.
 There are three natural divisions of the country the upper region, between the Blue and Rocky Mountains the middle region, extending from the Blue to the Cascade Mountains and the lower re- zion, on the sea coast. Each of these would make a large State by itself.
 In respect to natural advantages, no Eastern State is so highly favored. It has a mild and healthy climate. adapted to produce all the grains cultiva- ted in the Union. Its sea coast is three hundred miles in length, with numerous harbors. It fishe- ries of salmon, &c,, are apparently inexhaustible It is already oliic of furs and lumber Its whole soil, except the mountain peaks, is adapted to cu tivation and grazing, (probaby no country is bet ter adapted for wool flax and hemp and fruit Its mountains are covered with abundant and excellent timber and will furnish large supplies of iron and coal. Nor is it unlikely that it will prove gold producing region, for the ranges of rocks that are filled with gold in California and British Colum- ba pass through Oregon. The smaller streams fur nsh an abundance of water power. ald the larger ones inland navigation throughout the State Take it all n all, region in the United States is better adapted for the support of a dense population.

g gThe newspapers throughout the State seem to be in doubt whether the late Cashier of the Ltch- field Bank is in confinement out on bail'; and when they become fully satisfied the subject, we trust they will leave the public longer in suspense about it. Up here the general impression is that he is still boarier at the County House..
 The suggestion in the New Haven Journal, that ''the amount of the bail fixed by the Justice (S7000 is not binding upon tn Clerk when bail is offered is entirely original He is to judge as to the re- sponsibility of the baors but can neither raise or lessen the amount fixed by the magistrate. "
