 CsasiSiz.es. frOn ali parts of the State, we learu. are as thick as sncw-hirds. and many pat riOss sse wiling to serve the State in any capaci tT to which they m1y be called: but as there are but SIX posss upcu the State ticket. to be offered bx CUT party to te vCcrs of the State. the diff eeliy at once presents itself, of accommodating uess tsaa half dozen of these unselfSh indi- vfiz=Is-
 We have heard the desire expressed, that the prcssat corps of officers might be run for the fuCr.h time; and to this we should oppose no sc.t of objection. if such should be the general desire of the party-nor do we think the people of Litcaseld County would oppose word of re- uonstrauee to such solicitation of the Qnes- ton.
 Indeed, knowing the unimpeachable integrity, eiorying in the frmness combined with modera- ton; and pluck with amiabiliy of our present Governor -confiding in the honesty, industry and ability of those by whom he is supported on the tieket-and which si,h him have given Connect. icut three successive successful administrations ve should rather incline to the plan-if these of feers will accept . nomination-of nominating them.
 Next to Gov Buckingham, the most promi- nent name before the party for it's highest hon. ors, is that of Judge FOSTER of New Haven. This too would be nomination highly accepta ble to the people of Litchfeld County, though we have one or two men of our own, who, not aspiring themselves, and not seeking the civic honors of the State, yet are fully in the conf denee of the reorae, and will be fully endorsed if presented to the State Convention.
 It seems to us eminently proper and desirable that Litchfeld County should be recognized and represented upon the State Ticket She has asked of late but few of the offices and emolu- nents in the gift of the dominant party, but has been content to wheel into the line with her un- failing majority, under the names of those whom she knew to be worthy of her votes, though from other Counties.
 At the coming Spring election, she will cheer fully yield her regular turn for the Congressional nominee, in support of the present able incum- bent from Fairfield. In every contest she will do the right thin9-and if at tine coming Conven- ton, names, prominsat respectable and cana ble, are offered from this County for any post on the State Ticket. we are sure they will be given that respect, and will command that influence in Convention, which it is conceded, is proper and at should be bestowed upon the representatives of this County.

 NEW YORK, Sept. %, 1852.
 Gentlemen-A young lady of my acquaintance had been for long time troubled with worms: advised her to try Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros: Of Pitte- burgh, Pa. She accordingly purchased and took one vial, which caused her to discharge an unu- sual large quantity of worms. She was immcdi- ately relieved of all the dreadful symptoms ac- companying this disease. and rapidly recovered her usual health. The young lady does not wish her name mentioned !; her residence, however, is 32O Fifth street, and she refers to Mrs Harde, No Manhattan place.
 eEyp Purchasers will be careful to ask for DIR. MLANES'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, man ufactured by FLEMING BROS of PIrrsBuRo, PA. All other Vermifuges in comparison are worthless. Dr M'Lape's genuine Vermfuge, also his cels- brated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respec- table drug stores. None genuine rithom the s!gnd- lure of FLEMING BROS.

R0. The Naugatuck Rail Road will run only one train each way day, commencing to-day, until further notice. This withdnws the morn- ing train down, aHd the evening train up. The large amount of snow apon the track is the cause of this temporary disarrangement of the trains, and will last, we presume, but few days.
