Yours Truly.
We cut the above from the State Reg
utter, that we may add somewhat thereto.
Before Col. Wright was nominated We
urged his nomination because, with other
reasons, he had been q member Of the
House, and We thought that it elected,
hs would be chosen Speaker of the
House. We thought 50 because We
knew that no man in the State was bet
ter qualified, and very few, if any, as
veil qualified as he This is saying moth
ing against other and worthy members. A
presiding officer needs certain peculiar
qualifications. Col. Wright has shown
satisfactorily that he possesses those pc.
suliar qualifications in an eminent degree

Mn. Ep1roR:-I see it stated in your paper,

Mn EpIToR:-I see it stated in your paper,
by way of advertisement, that at a large town
great many mites from here the celebrated Stewart
Stove, on the third trial, baked 20 BIS. OF bread at
three bakings, "commmcing Nth a cold stoVe,'
and using one stick of wood II inches long, and
inches square.
Now let me tell you that tried an experiment
which resulted, on the FIRST trial. as follows:
put the materials for good bread into the Olive
Branch Stove. three and one half hours after the
Ere ven. out, and in less than ten minutes took
out six nice loaves of bread, which were readi-
Iy eaten by a soldiers family. The only fuel
used was a stick Of wood, fifteen inches long
and five inches square, which was split up and
laid in the sunshine in front of the stove SO that
the warm carboniferous air from the wood pass
ed into the Stove and directly around the oven
For the truth of the above statement refer
the reader to the agents of the Stewart Stove'
who knew Of many such experiments having
been tried at distant points.

NIB keep on hand at my stove Store in
Branch Stove, which require no dloming to get
up the draft on customers, as many will testify,
if agents Of inferior stoves have not hired them
to say nothing about it.
For the double purpose of cooking and warm.
ing tho room this Stove requires but small
amount of fuel; yet must admit thnti some OF
its competitors were turned into gas-burners and
fed by the inhammatory breath of their many
6louing agents, their fue! would cost less than
that Of the Olive Branch.

The Town Election.

| The result of the election for town officers last Monday; does not surprise any one conver- sant with our town politics. Our opponents always see, the necessity of bringing out their last man, and spending theirlast dollar, to car | ry the board of registry, and so have an i'm. fmense advantage, gratis, in the spring. Our own people are indifferent or ,apathetic. it is only when they realize the frauds that are per perpetrated on them, year after year, in the ad- mission of voters at the spring elections, that their indignation is aroused, and they resolve on wiping out the whole unclean board, with a mild resolve which does not outlast the heats of summer. Everybody knews that on a full and fair vote, sOitk c registry, the Union men of this town can carry the town election by a large majority. It is because we labored under the disadvantage oe having none of these on Monday, that the democratic vote was large ly increased. tby what means and influences we know pretty well,) our own vote sensibly diminished, and the town carried against us by ucdfiJ ntty fo1Co. ~i'-"* 7A'f "f|-.5 y.t
 If our people choose, year, after year, to sub nit to such palpable folly and gross frauds, we cannot help We have acquitted ourselves of our duty in sufficiently warning and enlight- ening them before hand as to the certainty and the .ceerity with which these frauds will be ac- complished. Under these circumstances, the

 the result is of an exceedingly cold character, that the present board of town officers can certainly be no auorse than their predecessors, that were impossible--but really, we think, a good deal better. q.ag ra t As for the vote on the Constitutional Amend
 ment, we can only say, that we are sorry that prejudice in this town and this county st i'll takes the place of principle. Hereafter the intelligent emigrant from Erin will have the privilege of exercising his elective franchise without the fear of the contaminating presence of the 'naggur,' and the delighted democracy need have no fear that his vote will be offset by another deposited by man whose hue d;f- fers from his only as iron differs from copper. But Eternal Justice still lives, and we have no fear but that before many years, if intelligence is continued the basis of our suffrage, the peo- pie of Connecticut will not stop to inquire the color of the skin that covers it. ,
 bG~ It is impossible, at the time of going to press, to state by what majority the Constitu. tional Amendment was lost, but we do not think it will overreach 4,0OO or 5000. The following is the vote in this county as far as we
