We are very sorry to hear that the advertise ment of Rev. Francis Lobdell which We insert ed as matter of sport, last week. under this town, has been the subject of serious animal version upon that gentleman, by some oyer-wise individuals abroad, subjecting indeed, Mir. L. to the charge of being Pro-Syacesy Minister of He Gospel!
 How such charge as this can be tortured out of q playful letter enquiring for an Irish servant, we cannot imagine, and we have only the old proverb to explain it, that all fools are not dead yet"
 The object of the notice in this column was simply to secure a country parson the "help'' needed in his domestic life-which, we are hap py to know, he has been thoroughly successful in doing. He needs no help in the concerns of his parish or of his conscience and as for be. ing pro-slavery man in hisinstincts or his con, victions, we believe he would sooner give up his faith in the doctrine of election, than vote for man who is tainted with shadow of negro-en- slaving proclivities.

They appre- ciated him, as all others do, as ouc uf tine finest orators in Connecticut
 The learned and eloquent crsater of the even ing took fer his ubjeets-~ Self Conquest, - subject of infinitely interesting bearings md relations, and most ably did he discuss inc sub jcct. A rapt attention on the part of the audi- ence during the whole discourse, which occupied an hour and half in the delivery, constituted no unmeaning eulogy of the eloquent lecturers powers and success.
 The learned lecturer considered his subject uuuei tnieS piluclPul ASaua,-tHe pioPeuslt4ee the sentiments and the intellect. Under these, in sententious style and diction, and with apt illustration and ancedote, he fully exhausted the subject. After these points were discussed, ne very justly considered the question-which of these shall be conquerer, which rule? Dur ing this part of the lecture, the eloquent speak CT introduced most eloquent and glowing eu- loaium upon the social, moral and intellectual powers of Daniel Webster, which YVES much ap- plsuGed by the patriotic audience present, as were many of the eloquent passages of the lee turc, during the whole course of it's dciivery.- With all merited praise to the o.ier lecturers Of this most interesting course, 1t is not too much to .av, that the lecturer of the evcn;n6 out-shons then. all.

LITCHFIELD.


 The election passed off more quietly than usu- al in this town. There were fewer fights among the unterrifed, and more swearing. Several watering places were open, where little water, considerably rum, and good deal of Porter, were dispensed with. But all passed of good naturedly as summer morning.
 The Republican candidates for Representative Dr. Henry W. Buel, and Frederick s. Porter made gallant run, and indeed, as compared with last year, the Republican vote was largely increased.
 Great excitement existed during the night among the friends of the candidates for Judge oi Probate, and the vote of the other towns of the district was anxiously looked for Morris came in, and then Goshen, and on Tuesday, Warren, and with groan of despair the late democratic candidate yielded up the ghost-ofa chance.
 - Mr. Rufus Smith designs opening his hous e to the public, the coming summer with all the modern improvements His house is to undergo thorough and extensive additions, and will be largely patronized by those attending court, and by his usual number of summer boarders We learn that this move is in reply to the late acqui sition which the Democrats have received of the Mansion House in this village.

Mn. EDITOR: The election is past and the Republicans of Bcthiem are defeated Again that party is dominant in Bethlcm, which up- holds the making of merchandise of the bodies and souls Of men.
 Soon after tho Presidential election last fail, the Democrats of this place united, with the de- termination. that at the spring election, the Re- pub2cs should be defeated. Consequently the Douglssites threw aside their "ereat principle of non-intervantioa," and together with the Breckinridsc men, adopted for their platform "beat the Republicans"
 The question then arose, how shall they be de- feated ? The answer given was, by the importa- l tion of voters few months previous to the elec- tion, which was practically carried into effect. When our Democratic Board of Registration met to decide who should be admitted to the applicants presented themselves before the Board, the question Docs this man sustain @ good moral character? did not seem to arise in the minds of the good Democrats that constitu- ted the Board. But the question, can he read, seemed to be the necessary qualification to be-
 
 thought best to call upon Capt. Peck, of Litch- field, thinking that in case any good Democrats belonging in Bethlem, were in his kind keeping, he would be willing to release them on bail until after election. But this idea was relinquished. inasmuch as some of the ladies thought it were advisable to invite Edward W. Seymour Esq.,, | of Litchfeld, to deliver an address in Bethlem, inviting all who took an interest in the welfare of our country to attend, hoping thus to secure l the doubtful ones, who seemed to vibrate be- 1 they would finally land.
 Mir. Seymour spoke on Friday evening before full house. Many Republicans who voted for Judge Seymour, when 6 candidate for Congress, account of his free soil proclivities, attended, 1 hoping that the son had not departed from the faith of the father; but in this they were disap- pointed. Mr, Seymour spoke in favor of yield ing to the demands of the South, in order to pre- l serve peace He reviewed the course of Hon. o. s. Ferry in Congress, alluding to him with much severity, for voting against the amend ments to the constitution proposed by Mir. Cor win. In his opinion, the saving of the Union depended on electing four Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut. He addressed himself to Union men. And we doubt many of his hearers were union men But their vermil- ion faces seemed to indicate that they preferred a union of whiskey and water, in preference to the union of the free and slaveholding States of America.
 Election day arrived. In witnessing that long line of Democrats, as they deposited their votes in the ballot box, I was reminded of the quota tation
 Aye, in the catalogue ye go for men: As hounds and grey-hounds. mongrels, spanleis' CUTS, shoughs. Water rags, and demi-w are called All by the name of dogs"
 This is the defeat of the Republicans of Beth lem. Of all the inglorious victories, ever won by the Democrats, this is the most inglorious of tkem ell.

Bs" The defeat of Mir. Ferry will be deeply regretted beyond the limits of this Congressional District. No member of the last Congress had gained a more enyiabe reputation fer sterling in tegrity and true Statesmansbip than he, and no one obtained during his first term of service a stronger influence over his fellow members His friends here and elsewhere, had fondly anticipa- ted for him long and distinguished career in the National Councils but in moment their hopes are temporarily disappointed, and through the treachery of many who had professed admiration for his abilities, and an acquiscence in his re- nomination. he has been most uniustly stricken dawn. Lachtield county, we feel pr,de in say ing, has nobly stood by this faithful servant, and given him the largest majority ever boiled for any candidate, and that too over the very best man our opponents could have nominated. We trust the day will yet come, when the great wrong which has been done to ORRIs s. FERRY may be righted, and if not the Fourth Congressional Dis. trict, the State of Connecticut, may again be so fortunate as to be represented by him at Wash ington.
