NEW PRESTON. will be seen from our New Preston correspondence, that the Democracy of that place have made 8 nomination for the Legislature which ought to put their party discipline to pretty se- were test. A simple enumeration of the acts detrimental to good order in which Mir. G. 0. Hitchcock has been engaged for few years past will show whether he is a fit person to represent @ peaceable commu- nity in the Legislature: '. I5e1haa oy
 Only few years since he was mulcted by a jury in $125 damages for striking an old gentleman at church meeting. Not long afterwards. at a meeting of the same society, he managed to get possession of q record book claimed by another church, slipped out of the room with it, and drove off in haste, to give it over to the opposing claimants. During the few months past he has busied himself with suits, at public expense, against MT. Rufus Smith and his connections. He first made an attack on Mir. S., who is also a gentleman advanced in years, struck him several blows and then had him prosecuted for an assault. On the trial it was proved to the satisfaction of a Democratic court that Mr. Hitchcock was the aggressor, and MT. Smith was acquit- ted. Last week, the affair reported in an other place occurred, and again the prose cutting machinery is set in motion in favor of the aggressor. Intermediate between these difficulties MT. H. provoked a young man into striking him, anda a prosecution for that, also. is now pending before oul Superior Court. 'a .'y ....
 Whatever excuses Mir. Hitchcock friends may make for him, they cannot but admi, that he is largely responsible for the dis
 graceful local disturbances so constantly reported from New Preston; and it seems a very queer time to offer him political re
 ward. l3 ,g+pe1 tf3A < h-t sa" 151 1 Atte # ------------r@ es-e---s-------- 4a11sIt4

 When Satan himself came from the burning pit below, when he lurked around the courts of Eden, and finally, scaling the bright ramparts, sat down to seduce Eve in those green and ambrosial bow ers he led her to fall and all of us to our ruin by disguising the hideous lineaments of evil under the skillfnl guise of good. So the advocates of this bill will tell you 1t is all for the best.
 This illustration demonstrates the necessity of the act in question. No one objects to Satan's voting where he belongs, but what we claim is that he should be reg istered there and not be allowed to vote in Paradise too.> -lru .. E.l
