Our State Ticket.

It is not surprising, but it may be singular, that not word has been said by the Democrats against the worth the ability, or the merit of our worthy candidates for State officers.
 WM. A. BUCKINGHAM stands so prominently above any cavil that it is superfuous to com mend him to the continued suffrage of our voters. He has been tried again and again-and has never been found wanting in anything that per tains to the duties the dignties of the guberna- tional office. Only such infamous sheets as the Bridgeport Farmer whose columns reek day after day and week after week with the vilest Billingsgate and most ibelous blackguardism, has ventured to asperse him, and in this, of all the other Democratic papers in the State, the Ftn nse,' stands alone. Abuse from such euar ter is praise, such as only ths fminatioas of the fallen iends in Hades against the spirits of just men can equal
 The rest of our ticket from the amiable and patriotic DOUGLAS for Lieutenant Governor to our own popular CUTLER for Comptroller is as admirable and worthy in every particular as has ever been brought before the people for their ap- proval, and it is not venturing much to- prophecy, that they all will be elected by majority more than double that of the Republican candidates last spring.

Nor PERsosAL(c.-The following ought to be printed in |" Piea caps" and "set up'' in every office in the land. We give it our cordial en- dorsement, and can only add that we trust it may be sanctifed to those who " set' in our sanctum:
 printing office is no place for men or boys to congregste, to talk, whistle, laugh and sing It may be fun for them but it's dead loss to the proprietors. There is not a typo on earth who can do his employer justice when idlers stand at his elbow talking and laughing every few min- utes during the day. When printers are in hurry making up C forms" sgalleys," or cor recting proof it is a.great' annoy ance to have to step over half dozen pair of legs, and be bored with the discordant notes of each ones fly trap. printing office is no place to loaf and the editors exchanges were never intended for the public-they are exclusively private proper ty In word, printing office is 6 place of business and not place of general resort

The fourth ballot was" formal" after which Mir. Jones was declared the unanimous nominee of the convention.
 W. c. Coe, E. J. Youngs, and H. S. Barbour were then appointed District Committee for the coming year.
 Dr. Welch, from the Committee on resolutions then offered the following, which were adopted:
 Resolved, That we are now as ever firm in our adherence to the principles upon which Abraham Lincoln was elected to the Presidency. That we approve most cordially Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural Address, and see in it the utterance of Chief Magistrate who will do his whole duty, in all kindness but in all fidelity. That all patriotic men are called upon in this crisis to sustain the Government and not to carp at it. That we have confidence in the wisdom and fidelity of all the Republican nominees now before the people, both State and Congressional, and pledge them hear ty and undivided support.
 ResoIued, That Mir. Henry Jones, the nominee of this Convention, is recommended to the voters of this district as deserving by his integrity as . man, aEd his soundness, as Republican, . tri- umphant election. and one of our largest ms jorities.
 Several speeches were made by delegates to the Convention, by two or three outsiders, who are always anxious to appear in puhlic-and the convention adjourned with rousing cheers for our next Senator.

LITCHFIELD.

THs SNOW SfoRM of Thursday last vas by far the seversst of the year in these parts. At least from IS to 20 inches of snow fell on : level, while in many places, and especially aieng the roads and the railroads the snow was piled to the height of four or five feet. The trains on the Naugatuek road on Thursday were /" stuck both ways in the neighborhood of Plymouth and the passengers made night of it in the cars, and did some tall walking the next day to reach their various destinations. The Deme- cratic candidate for Senator in this district ex- hibited a specimen of ploughing through the drifts from wolcottville here, which will do him credit if he can keep it up (metaphorically) next Monday, while our candidate for Judge of Pro- bate came over the drifts from Plymouth in 8 style which his Democratic Competitor could never hope to equal. Passengers on the up train on the Naugatuck on that day are loud in their praises of Conductor Beers who did all in his power to render their stoppage comfortable, and to the inhabitants of Plymouth, who, in the midst Of the driving storm, sent down provisions two miles below their depot, sufficient to supply an army.
 Passengers on the down train didn't fare so sumptuously, and the youthful conductor is re- presented as paying more attention to the female portion of his passengers, Consisting of one young lady )than was constant with the comforts of the whole, especially when the lights were out and the frewood ditto. Some of them were not only loud but deep in their expressions of anathema. No mails were received at our Post Office on Thursday-and no New York mail un- til MoBlay this week.
 - The Democrats on Wednesday, nominated George H. Baldwin and Jacob Morse, yr., for the Legislature. Brother Graves made . speech, in which he indulged in some facetious remarks, ,rel- ating to the Hsttering hopes they had ofcarrying this Congressional District for MT. Woodruff In this connection he spoke of the front ranks, and rear ranks, and didn't quote from the poet, "Hope told fattering tai!."
 = Rev. MT. Boothe is to preach his farewell discourse at the Methodist Church next Sunday evening, Subject "Methodism in Litehfeld dur ing the past two years with an account of his Stewardship:'-in which, if rumor speaks right, the 'Brethren'' may expect an interesting and entertaining review of their doings and un- doings.
