On the motion of Mr. Cuanpumr, (whig) of Pa., the House took up the Seuate bill, providing places for a Post “Office and ‘United States Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, authorizing a lease of ‘Duildings for ten years. Mr. Branton, (dem.) of Tenn., wished to report a bill trom the Judiciary Committee, providing places for United ‘States Courts in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, and authorizing the President at the same time to pro- cure sites, either by purchase or otherwise, and submit estimates for the necessary buildings. Mr. Caanpixe, (whig) of Pa., would not object to the ofthe gentleman from Tennessee, but for the fact that the bill now before the House was not abso- tutely necessary for the purpose stated. Mr. Fionxxce, (dem.) of Pa., said the court in Pennsyl- imeeta in April. The bill before them is morel y for af eoleeaty Serres, while that of the gentleman from pro} rmancnt arrangements. He did not see how the one would conflict with the other. Mr. Houston, (dem.) of Ala., said he saw in this the inning of a system of erecting extensive buildings for “those purposes, without estimates. He therefore moved a reference to the Judiciary Committee.

Pending the motion the House went into committee on ‘THR INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL—MESSR3, MILLSON AND HUNT , AGAINST THE NEURASKA BILL. Mr. Mmison, (dem.) of Va., remarked, the gentleman ‘New York, (Mr. Cutting,) said the other day thece ‘is a sort of civil insurrection at the North on the subject of the Nebraska bill, not to secure, but defeat the pas- sage of the measure. This would indeed be strango if ‘we were not accustomed to observe extraordinary mu- ations in politics in that section. But there is nothing in the question that onght to arouse the apprehension of the North. He ht = the remark of Mr. Fox on the Westminster scrutiny, and say the bill does not extend indulgence, nor even grant bare justice to the South. There are two bills committee, one the Nebraska bill of the Senate, and the other that reported dy his friend from Mlinois, (Mr. Richardson.) He pre- ferred the latter, although he was not disposed -ectasies even over that. This will. probably be the first one considered—if either of them shall be reached—and ‘there is reason to suppose there will be an effort made to amend the bill, with raviso adopted by the Senate, which has become somewhat famous. This is not the rt made to organiso territorial government for Nebraska. A Dill was introduced for that purpose in 1846. The South stood in opposition to it then— ‘this was their natural or normal position in rolation to all such bills; but Young America cannot wait until the necessity shall arise for the adoption of that measure. tly screami: ress |? ble, is called fogyism. dstrong, and foothardy, they say there is no dan- ger. Those advocates of pi 84 would plunge into the awift current of Niagara, and raise their hands in joy, while the rapids are burying them to the grave, an even when borne to the brink of the torrent their songs ‘of exultation would mingle with the roar of the cataract. ‘He was unwilling to multiply free soil, or the free States, and to force a hot bed system of creating them although he would vote for the admission any Sia into . «into the Union of te when she properly presented herself. The South, in 1848, was unwilling to establish one Territorial tin the Nebraska region; but now they are to establish two out of one, and the sbjection is to be removed by the repeal of the Missouri ertriction, to make the dose palatable. He insisted that ‘to make the South full pe pants In the territories the restriction of slavery there ought to be removed in Ore- ~— Washington, and Minnesota, Nebraska, and Kansas, jwever, were to be left open to the South as well as the North, because it is not expected slavery can exist in thone Territories; and in support of this assertion he quoted from the remarks of ‘tors Hunter, Badger, and others. -Therefore the South were not to be benefil- ted by the repeal of the Misso Missouri restriction is right, proserve it—if wrong, re- Teal it “There was no mile ground ht and -, Wrong. If he could be no such gov- pny ogee could be formed for tr would be butane bill of some kind be passed, he must, sectional and political mo- tives, make his selection. He dwelt at length apon Pe Tk RS { ee, complaine . re - a, whfeh, he Peaid, authorised the people to abolish slavery, but left the slavery restriction unrepealed | meanwhile. He repeated, he preferred Mr. Richardson’s | bill, which docs not contain the provisions which he | condemned, and regarded it as no more like the Senate | bill than the arly, ‘well-fed laborer is, compared with the lean.and slippe: ntaloon, Mr. Hust, (dem.) of La., was pppoe to the repeal of the Missouri compromise, considering it would be a vio- lation of good faith and’ contrary to the true policy of the country, engendering discord and dissension between different sections, and lazarding the existence of our Dlessed Union. He contended the Missouri compromise | was passed to allay the great excitement growing out of the slavery question—that it was effected by Southern votes, and had been sustained as a Southern measure. Tle denied that if Mr. Clay were alive that that great statesman would vote for repeal. It was his belief if | Congress repeal the Missouri compromise it would open the door of repeal for other compromises, even those of the constitution itself. Northern sentiment is opposed toit. Patriotic State Legislatures and jes of individuals have declared against repeal. He had seen letters from distinguished citizens of the North, depre. cating the agitation of the slavery question as inimical to the peace of the Union. The repeal of the Missouri compremire is_now condemned by some of its former supporters for fear of disastrous consequences to the country. The soil of Nebraska and Kansas is not pro- fitable for slave labor. Free men will go thither, and e3- tablish a constitution excluding slavory and ‘emanci- pating slaves who may be there. For all’ practical pur- poses slavery is prohibited as effectually as if prohibited bylaw. Then whence the necessity of repealing the fissouri compromise, What motive can there be to extend the limita of slavery to territory which is not favorable to that inatitution. They of the Fouth already have soil enough to be profitably cultiva- ted for ages, and they will keep their slaves undor their own government and policy, and will not allow anybody to invade their rights, secured by the constitution. But while this is their rolley, he could say there Were sound reasons of State policy that would justify them in reaiat- ing efforts to disturb settled compacts and induce them to reserve the peace and the harmony of the Union. The + interest of all sections was to preserve harmony—to practice on the principles of our Revolutionary fathers— ‘E Pluribus Unum’ —‘United we stand, divided we fall.” Why don’t South Carolina step forward to dis- turb the Missouri compromise? Why had other Southern States so long slept on their wrongs? Who commission- ed the Senator from Iinois, Mr. Douglas, to step in front as the defender of the South? In conclusion, he elo- quently appealed tothe North and South to stand by the constitution and the Union, with calmness and firmness, avoiding the utterance of any sentiments calculated to engender unkind feelings among the representatives of any portion of the Union, and alt would be well. ‘MR. BRECKENRIDGE IN OPPOSITION TO MR. CUTTING. Mr. BRECKENRIDGE, (ean) of Ky., regretted that this debate had been precipitated in the House, As two ene- mies of the bill had spoken to-day, it was necessary some friend of the measure should say something in its favor. One of these speeches was in quasi hostility, the other vas in manly, straightforward, bold opposition. The ntleman from Louisiana did not strike at it in the garb of Friendship. The day the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Cutting, moved that the SenateNobraska bill be referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, and followed up the motion by moving the previous question, Many gentlemen bej im to withdraw the motion to discuss its effect, but he refused to withdraw, and now he (Mr. Breckenridge) rose to warn the friends of the Dill, that if they go with the gentleman from New York, who, from his previous course, might be regarded as 3 friend of the bill, they would take part in their own de- struction. ‘The movement was to kill the bill and stab it professed friend. Did not the gentleman know that sending the bill to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union he was sending it perhaps to its grave, where it can be no more reached under regular legislation if it were covered by a mountain? Qne reason as- by the gentleman was that he desired full discus- therefore he sent it to where, perhaps, it never would be reached ; and another reason was, he was ap- ¢hensive the Badger amendment would not do justice Hhsho Gouth, and hon-slaveholding States are azcayed against it. He (Mr. Breckenridge) called the attention of the friends of the bill to the singularity of the gentle- man’s sentiments, A movement from an avowed and professed encmy is to be respected, but who a gentloman of our own, lines makes an offort to ki the bill, the friends of tife measure should be apprised of it, The one iirection, the other by indirection. | It is like the arm’ around a friend and saying, ‘‘ How is it with thee, my brother?” while a deadly stab is inflict- ed With the other. Some time ago, while the gentleman was making brilliant speech to prove his nationality, he quoted from Scripture the story of Jacob chesting sau by deceiving the patriarch Issac as applicable to Caleb Cushing. ‘I believe,” said Isaac,“ it is the hairy hand of Esau, but the yoice is the voice of Jacob.” Just so with ‘this bill. The gentleman may be for the bill, but his voice is that of anenemy. (Laughter.) He (ir, Breckenridge) could not resist the belief in the Other scriptural expression, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” When the gentleman succeeded in his motion the countenances of the abo- You might have sven signs betwecn thom, and he re- congratulations of the bitterest enemies of the bill on the result of his manly performance, A score of ies is better than a professed friend who i¢ blows at a measure. He did not mean to sa 7 unparliamentary, but he had a right to call at- tention to facts. Whatever has been the course of the entl men from New York heretofore, he has proved Hinsel? now to bean cnemy to the bill. Ile rejoiced that ninety-five gallant men had voted against the refer- ence, and that they were defented by only ten votes. They were such men as would, if awakened at midnight by in alarm bell, get up and’ vote for the bill. He as- sumed that the interests of the country require these Territories shall be organized. In reply to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr, Millson), ‘he said it was utterly im- ssible to prevent the spread of American laws across This continent, and {f Congress does not pass the law organiting these ‘Territories, the people of the United States will settle in them without law. He did not be- lieve there would be a violation of the public faith by a repeal of te Missouri restriction. ‘The North it- cif’ had repudiated it, ns he procceded to show. If this Dill shall not be passed it would furnish fuel to the abolitionists, and increase the flame for those political salamanders who can only oxist in the strike of fire, Pass the bill, and their occupation will be gone. You will have erected a barrier against which the ram- nt spirit of fanaticism will strive in vain, and receive Kesignal overthrow. Hebad no threats to. make. He believed Kentucky had never indulged in threats but once, and that was in 1789, which prevented the en- croachments of federal power, and saved the country, and he believed the Missouri restriction was an emana- tion of that same power—the snake scotched, but not killed. Kentucky had nover bean in an extreme political position. She holds out one hand to the North, and the other to the South, bringing them together in union, not throwing them apart. Lying in the centre of the Union, every puleation of her heart sends out life blood to the extremities of the country. He hoped, notwithstanding a sense of duty seemed to compel some Southern gentle. men to oppose the bill, the South generally would stand by it. Hehopedthe North would stand by it. They were not appealed to as sections. He knew there wero gellant men from the North who would stand by the con- stitution and popular government, and they will receive the gratitude of the country by giving it their support. Mr. Grow, (dem.) of Pa., obtained the floor. ., asked him to yield, that Surin, (dem.) of N. ¥., ight reply to Mr. Breckenridge Mr. Gnow assented, with the understanding that he would not lose his right to speak to-morrow. Objection was made to such an arrangement. ‘The Committee roge, and the House then adjourned, Affairs in Albany. THE JONES’ WOOD PARK—EXCITING ATRUGGLE ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION—THE POLICE BILL—HEAVY JUDGMENTS AGAINST STATE PRISON AGENTS, ETC. SPECIAL CORRISPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. ALBANY, March 23, 1854. The debate in the Senate upon the proposition of re- pealing the law establishing the Jones’ Wood Par showed that the New York delegation stand ‘equally divided upon the question—Messrs. Spencer and Whitney in favor of repeal, and Messrs. Barr and Brooks opposed. Mr. Brooks moved so to amend the present act tha the expense shall be paid by residents in the Nineteenth ward, and not by the ctitizens at large, and also that several hundred feet of water front shall be reserved for future commercial purposes, He thought that some" thing like $20,000 a year could be collected until the whole amount assessed was raised. Mr. Spencer said that $20,000 was not one quarter of the interest that would be necessary to be paid upon the property taken for a park. Mr. Barr thought the people residing between Fifty- ninth and 106th streets were willing to contribute the amount necessary for the purchase. The matter was de- bated for some time, but no vote taken, though all acknowledged the present law to require material modi- fication. ‘The Temperance bill as it passed in the House, with the first day of May inserted as the time for taking ef- fect, was ai in the Senate at the opening of the evening session. Mr. M. II. Clark moved that the Senate concur with the House as to the day. Mr. Brooks moved to amend by inserting the first day of August. Mr. Williams took the floor, and kept it for three-quarters of an hour, arguing against both propositions, and in favor of the first of December, as sent down to the House. He coneluded by advising the appointment of a tee of conference of the two houses; but as he made no mo- tion no question was taken upon it. After speeches by Mr. Brooks in favor of August, Mr. Barr in favor of May, | Mr. William Clark for Docember, the vote was ta | upon Mr. Brooks’ proposition to insert the firat of Au- | gust, and lost, 23 against to 6 in favor. The question | was then taken upon Mr. Clark’s motion to agree to the | first day of May, as decided by the House, and this was Jort_-6%0 23. ‘The. bill wasthen thrown into the teeth of scene in the House 8e1 to concur ir.

Mr. Thitken Y nail the” frieude of the bill have the power to insert the first of Decem er. ‘There are thirty millions invested in the sale and mamu- facture in the city of New York, and it would be utterdy impossible for persons in the business to perfect arrange- ments by the first of May to abandon the business. That class of our citizens are entitled to the protection of this Legislature. Should an attempt be made thus early to carry out the provisions of the bill, it would produce very serious consequences, bordering oma revolution. He pealed to the whig majority to protect that Ia amount of capital, and consent to allow the law to take effect in December. The debate was further continued by Mr. Peters, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Mallory, apd others, when finally the question to insist upon the frat or May ‘was carried by a yote of 103 to 7. A committee to confer with a similar body of the Senate was then spppointed, Ys, Messrs, Magraw, Leigh, Sessions, Sterling and eld. ‘The House spent the remainder of the morning session upon the New York Police bill, Mr. Leigh consuming the t'me in opposition. No vote has been taken. A report from the County Clerk of Westchester was re- ceived in the Senate, in answer to a rexolution, by which itappears that there are in his office records of judg- ments against agents of the Sing Sing prison amountiag to the enormous amount of one hundred and eighty thourand dollars!

The annual election in this State will take place ina fortnight from this time, There are four tickets in the field, though but three heads to them all, which is one of those anomalies that have of late been. so common in American polities. The first ticket is that of the regular democrats, and is-headed by Mr. Dimond as candidate for Governor. Itis in all respeets the same as that of last year, except that Dimond was then the candidate for Lieut. Governor, which candidacy is now held by Mr. Amer- icus Potter, while Mr: Dimond has been promoted to the chances of being beaten for a much higher post. The candidates f6r, Secretary of State, Treasurer, and At- torney-General are the present occupants of those offices —Meuars, Potter, Wilbér, and Burges. The second ticket (perhaps it should be rated first) is that of the whigs. This is hended by Mr. Hoppin, who was so badly beaten, & year ago, by Gov. Alen. The candidate for Liout. Go- vernor is Mr. J. I. Reynolds, of North Kingston, a very respectable citizens but not supposed to entertain any felonious notions towards the rivers of the State. He was nominated when Mr. Rodman withdrew from the ticket. William R. Watson—who has been a candidate for, or an occupant of, some office ever since the day on which the Wandering Jew received his everlasting walk- ing ticket—is thecandidate for Secretary of State. Mr. Robinson, of Cumberland, is up for Attorney General, andMr. Vernon, of Newport, for Treasurer. The third ticket, or “Prox,” is known as tho “Rhode Island Tick- | et,”” or the “Independent.’” It was originally got up by the temperance men, who were charged by the whigs with having made it for the purpose of aiding the demo- erats, and by the democrats with having no other object exoept that of aiding the whigs—charges slightly incom- patible with one another. Mr. Hoppin, the whig candi- date, is alko up for Governor on the third ticket, which would seem to shackle his “independence.” Ho has written, and there has been published, a letter in sup. port of the Maine law, but in Which he avows his attach- ment to all the old whig doctrines. Mr. Schuyler Fisher is the candidate for Lieut. Governor on this ticket; Mr. 8. 8. Mallery for Secretary of State; for Attorney General, John P.

Tho reference of the Nebraska bill to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, in the House, is, per se, considered conclusive of the fate of the Willi It is believed that there is no expedient by which the Wihcan be reached for a montl: or tivo, or three or four, if, im- deed, it ean be reached this sossion at all, thougiit should Inst till Destmber. Admitting, however, that - through some parliamentary management, the bill may be reached when called for—edmitting that, by gencral eonsent, it nmy possibly be taken up within s week or two—the case & hopeless. We repeut if, the ensets hope- lew —the bill must fall threugli. Tiere are two provisions which, Sa the biltor ovtt of the Dill, must kill it stone desi. The fitat is the Chyton amemtment, excluding all altens frozs the’ right of suf- frage tn. the Territo#es of NeSraska smd Kammes. ‘This Proviso is perfectly semstitutional; but the usage’ hes been to uifow the settlers of the Territortés, nataralthod and unvataralized, the: right of suifrage: in thetr locat elections;.1nd in many of the Western States the wnnee is maintsined even to this da; inclading federal ax well a8 local citetions. "This usage, thos widely extended in the West, where the Ger- manic, Norwegian and Irish elomen® of the population? hold the balanee of power, will be thadeath of the Clay. ton agyendinont when the Senate bill comes up in th Houre, if it ower does come np. ke out this Clayton arvendment, struck | the bill by a sectional vote, the Nusthera membors being in favor-af its expulsion almost to eman, and ‘the’ South as nearly unanimous for retaining “it, ‘excepting Missouri, Louisiana, and Arkomsas, the mombors {rom which States will-be Ho to side with the North in favor of continuing the established usage of the right of suf- frage even to the alien inhabitants of the Territories This Clayton amendment was carried through in ‘he Senate by a seciitmal vote, all the Northern Senators who having voted against it. ‘This amendment, then, will be stricken from the bill in the House; and as, without it, the repeal of the Mix- souri line will be worth nothing to the South, they will contrive to let the measure go by the board between the two houses, as a concession which willnot-pay expenses. The Badger amendment, on the other hand, which .de- clares that the repeal of tho act of 1820 shall’not be con- | strued as reviving the pre-existing French. law.recogni: ing the existence of slavery in the Tyrritories involved, a bitter pill tothe South. They will move to strike’ it out, so that the Territories shall be placed exactly upon the’ satus which they, occupied prior tothe Missouri compromise enactweat. But this amendment will bo retained by the North, and thus the bill will ‘lose again the support to which the Missouri repeal is especially en- titled trom the South. The simplest plan for thi Nebraska bill, is the repeal of the Missouri line in'so many words; and'a Territorial form of government for Kansas and Nebraska upon:the model of the law of 1850 organizing Utah or Now Mexico. Per- haps we may.come to: this alternative atiast; but the - cage is almost hopeless. The bill-cannot pass the House, in its present shape. If amended, it is likely to bo in such a form as to.render it obuoxious to the Senate. At all events, any modifieations of the bill in the House will’ | reduce it to the necessity of passing again through the- crucible of the Senate; and we cannot discover how the | measure is to.bo shaped nb this seasion:s0-as to avoid tho; | danger of a fatal disagreement. between-the two houses. And this would be the fatal difficulty wore the bill taken. | upin the Houre: to-morrow, morning. And this will be. the difficulty with any new bill which may be introduced into the House. We give it up, therefore, that there is noprospectifor a repeal of the Missouri compromiso at the presont session, | of Congress. Let the agitation go on—let. tho question, be sifted and settled by the people. The Gadsden treaty is losing ground, From a remark: made by Judge Butler to-day, it is evidently getting to be distasteful to the South. {t cramps them—it limits them toa mere desert margin. The free soilers have discovered this, and are, therefore, always ready to go into executive session. The probabilities every day: are. increesed thut the treaty will be rejected. The Homestead bill and the Pacilic Railroad bill hdve.a good prospect before thom. From present appearances, tho Homestead billean only be defeated in the Sonate by delay in taking it up. The corruptions of the railroad stock jobbing system are helping if as tho least of two evils. CQ. Our Hartford Correspondence. HAurtrorp, March 21, 1854. Slate of Politics in Connecticut—The Democratic P’arty— The NeLraska Question—The Liquor Bilt. Since my list the aspect of political affairs has. somo tary of Pinte was allowed to have more influence than himveif with government that he bad so special a disre- for him. Tho South Kingston Senator is. said to |} have contributed largely to the success of the demogracy in 1863, apending several thousand dollars for thar pur- pore; and he has been treated as parties usually, (reat their test members. He may prove hunself eve more powerful in the destructive line than ho was in that of the construction. There are those who declars, that a ) radical dewocrat means a man who has failad to get office under the general government; but this obwervation must be teken with a foot deal of allowances. The na- tional offices here have been distributed with s full share of that perverse blockheadism which has cporacterized the action of Pierce’s administration on ghnost every point. Some of the rankest abolitionists in the country— right down Garrisonians—have received appointments to | fat officer, though good “nationals” were applicants tor the sume places. Not a national officeholder dare to, open his month on the subject of Nebraska, from the fear of the effect thereof on the election. Both of our members of Congress are opposed to the bill, and one.of them (Mr. Davis) is more of afree soiler than is Mr. Sumner. Our Senators are of the samo way of thinking, and Governor Allen was an out-and-out Van Bure; man in 1848. ‘You will see that we have four tickets in the Sutd, and three candidates for Goyernor, Lieutenant Govarnor, and General Treasurer, and four candidates for Attorney General and Secretary of State. It is hardly possible to say what the result Will be; but the currant of opinion seems to be setting against regular partic of all kinda. The democrate—as the dominant party ia both State and nation—have more than their fair share of troubles; but the whigs are far from belng united. The opinion is quite common that the ‘independent’? ticket will re- ceive a large vote. ‘The whigs are endeavoring to make capital out of the reversal of the sontence against Governor Dorr by our General Assembly; but they find it very slow work. Papers out of the State, who “know nothing” about our government, are much shocked at the Assembly's con- uct, and charge it with having usurped powers; whereas the truth is that that body has not gone in any respect beyond its constitutional right to act. A question may be made out of the polfey or expediency of the act of re. versal; but there can be no donbt of the power of the Assembly to proceed as they did in tho ense of Gov. Dorr, In some respects our Legislature differs from those of most, if not all, the other States; and the fact is worthy of mention, that the power of the Assembly to reyers? sentences is an inheritance from that 414 guiiséF govérn- ment which the enemies of Ge~ Horr did so much to uphold, and which, € thy could have had their way, would baxe bea” “a existence at this moment. The lan: «vage that is made use of to frighten people, and which represents the act of the Assembly as one of usurpation, and #0 endangering the rights of persons and of pro- | Perty, 1s the merest cant in the world. It will alarm nene bat a knot of old women, and not them very seriously, I should think. Several amendments to the State constitution are to be indirectly voted upon on the Sth of April, election day. Scme of them are of no vory special importance. By one it is proposed,to abolish the registry tax,and to putan end to the payment of that tax, and the performance of military duty, aa qualifications for voting. By another, a mere majority of the popular vote is to be substituted for a three-fifths vote in ratifying amendments made to | the constitution by the General Assembly. These amend- ments, and othera, passed the Assembly Inst winter; but before being submitted to the people they must ‘pass through the next Assembly. "The whigs are opposod to their adoption, and should they get possession of that body they will be lost, and all the work haye to be com- menced anew. ‘the Maize law enters largely into the present contest, and will have much to do with its decision. A large por: tion of the people believe fuily in its power to turn this rather “rum”? world into a paradise. All that they ask is that it shall have a fair trial, which seems to be ex actly the thing that is most difficult to be obtained for it. Politicians make the usual nse of the temperance question, and it appears to them a very pretty hobby on which to ride. We had a full temperance convention here last week, #md thera was a good deal of spirit dia. what changed in Connecticut. The Nebraska and antt- Nebraska parties seem to have swallowed up doth of the prominent political sects. The whigs have thrown. them- selves in a body into the arms of the free soil or abolitio pariy, making the Nebraska quesiion a test, and ore now willing to swallow any and everything which will shoy tration of Gen. Pierce. A large number of the democrats, too, have also embraced this anti-Nebraska humbug, and are now doing their utmost to break up the dominating | party in this State. | I predicted im my last that the proceedings of the Democratig State Convention would be conducted with a spirit of “umon, harmony, and concession.’ But it was decidedly otherwise. Sueh a bear garden performance was rarely to be seen in a convention of respectable white people. It might be expected in an abolition or Garrison coneention, but not in a Connecticut Democratic Stato Convention. Tho anti-Nevraska men seemed to be tho uppermost, and they carried out matters accordingly ‘The Committee on Resolutions was a “packed”? one, aad | they reported reeolutions agreeably to their instructions. However, one of the resolves was so rank and so bfack that it was entirely struck out, and others amended so that their originators would hardly recognise them. The Convention Mnally adjourned, after a very strong debate on theresolutions. The ticket nominated is a etrong one, the party. ‘The candidate for Governor, Judgo Samuel Ingham, of old Saybrook, is Judge of the Couaty Court for Middlesex county, has been member of Coagross for the second dis- trict, and filled many important offices of trust in the State. He is a moderate politician, not known to be for or against the Maine lay; neither is he gommitted for or against Nebraska, Hon. John T, Wait, the candidate for Lieutenant, or Deputy Governor, is’ a gentleman well and favorably known throughout the State, and his personal popularity will insure him many votes. He is a lawyer of good | nreéfice in Norwich, and the present State Attorney for ew London county. Talcott Crosby, of Thompson, Windham county, is thé candidate for Treasurer and Bank Register. He is a wor- thy man, and President of the Thompson Bank, an old and well established institution, His experience in bank- ing matters will be of use in his now position. He is supposed to be anti-Nebraska, and inimical to the free bank law. Of his position onthe Maine law question I cannot speak confidently, but from his location should suppese him to favor it. ‘ihe candidate for State Secretar: Lanbury, Peirfield county. Mr. A. is a lawyer of fair ties, and well spoken of by all who know him. He ir popular in his own county, and will poll is Roger Averill, o strong vote. Julius Hotchkiss, the present Mayor of Waterbury, New Haven county, is the democratic nominee for Comp- er of public accounts. Of this gentleman little can Hie has so lately become a democrat that it i It to classify him. In 1851, he voted with the f fl party, and hia vote, though it elected Seym (dem.) Governor, also elected Kendrick, (whi ant of Deputy Governor. His friend Kendrick also a resident of Waterbury, should remember this kind. ness and reciprocate. He is suppored, on account of hi antecedents, and from the fact o| a call for an anti-Nebrgska meeting, passage of said bill by Congress. In estimable man. National polities, however, will have but little inflwence on the yote for State officers; but on the Legislatare— | there’s ihe rub. The political description of this august body, to be elected on the first Menday of April, will be to be averse to the | private life, he is an played on the occasion. metaphorically speaking, you will Tnderstand, for if the members drank any hing thoy cer- tainly made no dis play of their exertions in that direc. tion. : There is a good deal of feeling in Rhode Taland against foreigners. The chief reason why the democrats were so terribly defeated, in June and November last, in. thelr attempts to destroy the present constitution and replace it with one of a thoroughly radical character, was be- cause of the belief that any change in the’ conatitu- tion would be favorable to foreigners, and, therefore, was not to be thought of fora moment by native-bornipeople There are many foreigners in this Statc—moro, I presw in proportion to the entire population than in an, State—and they are regarded with anything but sentiments by the mass of the natives, fhe Irish Re. manists are looked tipon vith sentiments of absolute ha- tred. Many hundreds of democratic vofers, last year went dead against thoir party on the question of consti- tutional reform, zs that was understeod by them to mean the admission of Irish Romanists to equal political privi- leges with American Protestants, which was not to thought of for one moment in the land of Roger Wil- liams, You will observe that there fs abundant material here for the ‘Know Nothings,”’ and it is hoped by some, and feared by others, friendly that that mysterious order will be | America, who | amusing. There will be whigs and democrats, free soil | and anti-free soil, abolition, Maine law and anti-Maine | law, incorporated banks and free banks, insurance and anti-insuranee monopolies, and last, though not least, Ne- braska and anti-Nebraska.’ Ov the’ Legislature depends the choice of a Umited States Senator. If one should be elected, what lis political complexion will be God only knows. ‘ihe democrats will elect at least six out of eight she- riffs, and a chance for the other two. The New Hamp- shire election is somewhat of a damper to the spirits of the democracy; but we of Connecticut know how to at- tend to our own affairs. If the opposition should, by hook and crook, carry the Legislature, as in New Hamp- shire, it may be attributed to the course pursued by Pre- sident Pierce’ in his appointments in this State, and th the pernicious iofluence of the Hartford Times, eontrolloo dy a posse of free rollers.
