D9r Senator WIGFALL, of Texas, used the
following language, a few days since, in Con-
gTess These northern people, of all parties,
are mean despcable set Of starvelings, una
bic to see beyond dollar, and caring for no
consideration except money. Threaten them,
and they will crouch to your feet like so many
hounds. Only swear that you are going to
dissolve the Union, and the timid creatures
will get down on al fours, bite the dust, and
kiss the rod raised to chastse them" The
Senator applied this language to Northern
Republicans and Democrats indscrimirately
AS if to show that it is no piece of empty
bravado, the Charleston papers declare that
the houses of that city will never be so closely
secured and watched as when the Democratic
Convention shall be in session, with its hosts
of retainers precipitated upon then.

LIrcuFIELD is going to petition to the legisla- ture for railroad from the Naugatuck at Ply mouth or H'olcottville, to the Housatonic at New Milford or Kent. It isl hoped by this means to kill e!lectually the schemes of the ambitious bor- der towns for division of the famous old coun- ty.-Netc Htren you7nui. @
 The project for a railroad to or through Litch- tield has no necessary connection with the divi- sion question. Railroad or no railroad, the at- tempt to divide this ancient county is altogether chmerical. If when the business at our courts was three times as much as at present. no great inconvenience was felt in getting to the county seat certainly there is no sensible reason for a division now when law business is yearly diInin. ishing. The main object of our citizens in pro- curing railroad is to make access to our village easier Tor those who are desirous to make this :heir summer residence, to deveIope the country through which the road will pass, and to increase the business of the village and the value of oul property. If at the same time the ambition. border towns" are made more cont.uted we sbaI rejoice in that also.

Rhode Island Election.

The Democrats out west, (says the Peru Her. aAd) are trying to be jolly over the result of the election in this little State. But it is very sor ry kind of jolity they are having. That great party, that was once in ascendancy in every Northern State, except Vermont, and was in the habit of announcing it's victories in unbroken succession, as returns came in from State after State, is now ready to go into hysteric cachina- tions over the flimsiest pretext of victory in the smallest State in the Union.
 Let us see how much real cause they have for their exultation Col. sprague, the success, ful candidate for Governor, was elected over his competitor, MT. Padelford, the regularly nomina. ted Republican candidate, by about l 300 major ity. Col Sprague is the largest and wealthiest manufacturer in Rhode Island. He has hund reds, if not thousands, of men in his employ, and might be expected to naturally have the sympa- thy of all the other cotton spnners in the State of whom he has long been the financial and political Chief He was Whig in former times, and has voted with the Republicans ever since the organization of that party, and is per haps the last man in the country who could be expected to have any sympathy with the Dem ocratic party. He voted for Fremont at the last Presidential election and will probably vota for the Chicago nominee at the next. He was the candidate of the conservative Republicans Union Saviors, Know Nothings and Democrats Together they succeeded in electng him. There was not one straight Democrat on the ticket with him. So much for the vaunted Democrat ic victory. Let the Democrats put what faith they can in such assurances of carrying even this little State next fall. When the diminutive ma ture of the State, and the character of the vic tory if such it can be claimed, are considered, il
 is the most ludicrous attempt at growing whicl VIC have lately witnessed. But "any port in storn.' ....
