 A correspondent from Winsted, writing to correct the statement in our last, concerning the dismission of Rev. Mir. Pearson, says:-"there are but three members of this society who can CTS, 1" and thsy utterly ydeuy such sympathy.''A .''A Glad to hear it; but we learn further from our that ssit is true that one of the three referred to above, did cease attendance on
 the ministrations of the pastor, about the time
 'that sermon swss preacheds but it was an old
 hsbit of his, and what was expected would ap. pear sooner or later, and had no influence what ever with the society in reference to dictatine what their minister should preach. Another oi
 thethrse failed to buy as higha priced pew as va. hisSwont, but has attended church nevertheless while the third has paid his. pew rent and goes to church.. So much for the secession ca6se.--
 But our correspondent attributes Mir Pearson. letter requesting dismission, which dropped upon bis congregation like thunder out of clea1
 sky, startling and ihsxpiicabIe,' to quite othe, causes dissgrsements of longer or .shorts, lstanding, unnecessary to be detailed here. but which onst the whole. rendered perhaps his re

 Resolved.

MR. EprroFx Permit me . sbort space in your colu6ns to feply to Wolcottville Cores.
 pandsnt of tho Winsiea Herald which, from
 ths allusioh made to t sditoriallys reflects the
 seatimens of ths Editor Of that sheet, relative
 to the sdoings of the Republican Convention held
 at Wolcouville On the 18th of March.
 Ican imagine no reason that should induce the writer of that letter to utter such base un. truths, and present them to the people of this
 District. unlsss it be that he isdns of the sore
 headed to whom he seftssin. lis letter. If this
 be the version of the whole matter, let my friend be advised that he has chosen . poor way to re taliatc ia attackhg the character and principles
 of sach . man a Hiram Geodsin.s ssssa With regard to the charge that s"sthe Allen House Convention transcended its powers,n
 have only to say thatit was never my pleasure to attend a more harmonious Convention, with the exception perhaps of two or three disaffect-
 cd ones who evidently cams there to s"rule or
 ruin" and since they were unable to do the form CT, they seem now anxious to accomplish the lat ter. It happenstobe afact, that one of this "rule or ruin' chqse who'so bitterly opposed having any thing to do with the Union Con.
 yention,n' sas himself, no longer ago than last Fall, afmembes of ,a Committee to nominate a Union ticket for town officers. Verify his con
 version waa sudden-but then VI live in . fast agesalW fssssesf8a T afeq7 ta7alA8 a.I The Union Convention, which my friend com. pliments 50 highly in his passing allusion, was
 made up for the greater part of men whose sym
 pathies and actions hare been, and are still thor.
 oughly Republican the remnant were those who have hitherto voted with the so.called Democra- cy, but whose convictions of duty in the present emergency, and in harmony with those of the Republican party, but who, as 1 suppose, do
 not entirely agree with them in lz of their prin- ciples.i Then, my friend, do we transcend, any ''powers' by uniting with them for the
 common object of strengthening the Govern.
 ment7 When my friend feels of the Republi.
 can pulse of this District, he will find that he has at least made a mistake .... ...Is
 With regard to Mir. Goodwin, who is so basely
 maligned by this member of the clique, he is too well known in this District to be affected by any such lying inuendoes. He was a member of the Senate from this District two years since, occu-
 pied the first position in that body with honor to himself and his constituency. In times like the present, when whole history is being written in 8 brief space of time, we need MEN in our legis- lative halls-a better Choice could not have been made, and in his reelection, we may be sure that our interests as Republicans and therefore, as Un
 ion men, will be faithfully protected.
