WEBsTER's DICTIONARIEs.-trom GER
tain published statements Of the leading
booksellers from every part of the coun-
try, it would seem that the sales OF the
various editions of Webster's Dictionaries
are enormous, exceeding many times the
sales of all other dictionaries put together.
We learn that there are five different edl-
,ious Of our great American photographer
now published in England, besides sev-
eral English Dictionaries which are con-
fessedy based on Webster. A recent ar
ticle in the London Critic admits that the
or,hography Of Webs'er's Dictionary is all
but uaiirersat in the United States.-Bos-

Reduction of the State Debt

The Governor having, by Proclamation,
announced a large reduction of the State
debt, we have had the curiosity to inquire
as to when and by whom it was done. As
the result of this inquiry We have learned
the following facts Comparing the re-
ceipts Of the current fiscal year, from De-
eember 1st, 1858, to the present Gate,
with those of the corresponding period Of
the preceding year, there has been falling
off in receipts Of $4,000.
The amount set apart for payment Of the State
Debt last year. up to 2lst Oct, was sl33,313 81
Amount set apart Tor same purpose this year,
up to same date sH ,32i Il
Excess paid present year *7Oi,olO 81
1t will thus be seen that with nearly a
Half Million LESS RECEIPTS, nearly Three
Pourths Of Million MORE DEBT has been
paid this year, than in the same period of
preceding year. This is fact well worthy
of attention. Not the least Of the benefits
to the people from the last election, will be
a retention in Office Of our present efficient
State Treasurer, to whose watchful indus.
try and care the public are greatly indebted
for the results above given. The admitted
success of MrSlifer's administration of the
Treasury Department, some years since,
gave great confidence in his abiIity-and
we feel sure the records will more than
meet public expectation. While we say
this much in favor of Mr.. Slifer. who has
control of the Finances, we would award
full credit to Mr.. Fry, Auditor General, and
Mr.. Hester, Secretary Of State, the other
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, for
their efforts for the reduction Of the State
debt.-HarrisJury Telegraph

CONNECTICUT POLTTIC -IE-NOMINATToN
MEsSRS. ARNOLD AND BISHOP


We ave already expressed our qualification at
the denomination Of Messrs. Arnold and Bishop Of
Connecticut, the only democratic members of the
last House Of Representatives from the New Eng
Land States. The proceedings Of that body bear
high testimony to their constant attendance and to
the ability with which they represented their constt
ucDts in tho administration Of public affairs True
democrats faithful to the constitution and firmly de-
voted 10 their political principles they have given
hearty and an efficient support TO the Executive
and have advocated national policy calculated to
advance and to extend the Jeersonan principles of
government
The democratic constituents Of these gentlemen
have not only re-nominated them, but have SO en-
dorsed their official conduct to insure them
hearty support At the congressional convention in
the second district MIR. Arnolds popularity was
strikiugly manifest 'IIe has (sad The Ne,c Hreea
Rcgisc,) earned strong hold upon the desocrats
of this district by his life long advocacy Of their
principles, and his efforts in sustaining regular nom
nations all occasions The following resoti-
ti5n was passed unanimously
'i'szo'eed, That we heartily recommend to the demo-
cratic electors Of the second congressional district the
Hon samuel AlnOit, as tttt,i faithful
sentative Of democratic principles and measures demo
GRAFT from his youth up and without shadow of turning
and whose triumphant election viii he hailed with Joy
by the national democracy of every section.
The democracy OF the Fourth District were equally
harmonious, and Mr.. Bishop was ronomiuated by
acclamation after letter had been read in which lie
stated that he had no desire ambition for the
honor, and that if there was sny wish ON the part
of the convention or any considerable portion of il
TO place any other man ia nomination, one would
be better satisfied with the result or labor
earnestly to secure his election than himself. The
convention were not disposed to consider The
claims of any other gentlcunai in opposition to
those of this able and worthy representative of their
principles, and they thus endorsed this rcnomina-
ton
RssoiroF That do approve aud endorse The acts OF

With these gentlemen, and the equally worthy aud
welLqualisicd nominees in the other districts,
their acknowledgements, the democracy Of Connect
cut have good reason 10 hope for success in the APP
preaching congressional contest. Let them but do
their duty, and they can not only elect their cand
dAtsa, but show to the democrats of other States
