N'O3.1W'#.I|I§ ‘GAZETTE.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1831.
For two or three weeks past our paper, from
circuriistances which we could not control, has
presented rather an indifferent appearance. This
factlras been the occasion of some good natured
-complaints from our friends, and of a most inces-
_ sant clattering from the whole race of grumblers,
: ' far and near, who have bored us about the matter
I with us much inipudence as if they had paid their
bills punctually every quarter day, VVe have now,
however, removed the dilliculty, and we trust that
both those who borrow, and those who patronize
the paper by subscribing for it without ever ex-
pecting to pay, will be satisfied.
If any of the towns in the 12th Senatorial Dis‘
ti-ict have neglected to appoint delegates to the
Convention to he held at Darien on the 7' tli of Feb-
ruary.we hope they \\ ill supply the deficiency.-B
'.I.‘l|6il10fll1t1€l1i0I1 ofa Senator is not an unimportant
matter, but the apathy with which it appears to be
regarded would certainly load to a different cori-
’clusion. Under the District system, a little inan-
agement and intrigue, while the electors are asleep.
will enable a few . individuals to carry any object
which they may attempt. VVe do not say that any
such intriguers are now at work, but if there are,
what is to hinder the accomplishment of their de-

THE HARTFORD CONVENTION.
At the late session ofthe Superior Court at Fair-
field, the Hon. R. M. SHERMAN, one of the
members ofthe Hartford Convention ofl81-1, was
put under oath, and under the pains and penalties
of PERJURY gave a history ofthe proceedings Of
that far famed meeting. The testimony thus elicit.
ed is given below. r .
‘We believe that this question is now for the first
time presented to the public in its present form.-
‘ This is the first time that a member of that body
has been cited before a Court of Justice to answer
for its objects and proceedings. Is the history
which Mr. Sherman has given a faithful one 'I—
Has he, in compliance with a solemn oath. told
“ the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth,” in this matter ? Those who know. the per.
sonal character and integrity of the witness will
know also how to answer these questions. The
testimony was given in the presence of a large
and respectable audieiice,coinposed of men of both
political parties interested in the question, and all
seem to have come to about. the same conclusion in
regard 30 it.
To Tin-: Enrroa or THE G.-t'.ZE’l"t‘I-2: -
Previous to the trial of VVliitniaii Mead, on the
information for a libel, of which you gave a. brief
notice in your last number, the Prisoner moved the
Court for a subpoena, to Mr. Sherman, of Fairfield.
Mr. Goddard, of Norwich, and many others as wit-
fending themselves against the public enemy :-'—tbat
so much of the National revenue, as should be col-
lected in these States, should be appropriated to the
expenses oftliat defence ';—that the amount so ap-
propriated should be en ‘edited to tlieUiiited States ;--
and that the United States should agree to pay
whatever should be expended beyond that amount-
This proposal was approved by the Convention_
The same views had been stated here, before the
meeting of the delegates. By the Constitution of
the United States, no such compact for mutual de-
fence could be formed, without the consent ol'Con-
gress. By thus augmenting our iiriiiiediate resour-
ces, and obtaining the national guaranty that the
expenses ofthe war, to be increased by the‘ States
tlius-uniting, should be ultimately paid out of the
N atioiial Treasury, it was supposed that uur credit
as well astour present pecuniary resources, would
be enhanced. A debate was had in tlieConvention
as to certain amendments to the Constitution ofthe
United States, to be proposed for adoption by the
State Legislatures. One was, that Congress should
irot have power to declare war without the concur-
rence oftwo thirds of both Houses. I cannot, from
recollection, detail the proposed amendments; but
they appear on the printed report of the Conven-
tion, of which I have a copy at my oflice, which the
prisoner may use on the trial,iflie pleases. A Com-
mittee. ofwliom Iwas one, was appointed by the
Convention to draw up that report, to present to
their respective Legislatures.’ The proposal-ofMr.
Otis was adopted with little variation. This report
was immediately printed by order of the Conven-
tion, and was circulated throughout the country.-—
Among otliertliings, as may be seen by that report,
it was recommended to tho Legislatures represent-
ed in the Convention, to adopt measures to protect
their citizens from such conscriptioiis or impress-
ments as were not authorized by the Constitution of
the United States. Thisiresolution originated from
a project of the then Secretary of VVar, which!
believe was not adopted by Congress. The See-
retary of the Convention kept a journal of their
proceedings. Tins, as I understand, was deposit-
ed by Mr. Cabot, the President, in the office of the
Secretary of the State of Massachusetts,and a copy
transmittedto 'Washington and lodged _in the office
of the Secretary of State of the United States. Il-
was afterwards published in certain Newspapers.
I saw it in the American Mercury, a Newspaper
published at Hartford, by Mr. Babcock. The le-
gislatures of Massachusetts and Connecticut, pur-
suant to the recommendation ofthe Convention,
sent a delegation to VVasliington to present their
'especlivt: petitions to the Congress of the United
States. The gentlemen sent from Connecticut
were Mr. Terry, Mr. Goddard, and I think, Mr.
Dwight. On their arrival, the Treaty of Peace,
concluded at Ghent, reached the National Govern-
ment,and further measures became unnecessary.
This is an outline of the origin and proceedings
turned from Vermont, states that in ma-
ny places, the roads were blocked up a-
bove the fences aud utterly impassable by
horses. In some places, the stage was
taken over the walls and passed along the
fields, whence the snow had drifted into
the road. In others the horses were ta-
ken out and the stage drawn by the pas-
sengers.
The Portland papers mention that they
had but little snow-there.
'I)cpIoraI)lc Accident.-—\Ve have t
record another instance of the fatal ef-
fects of iiifeinpcrance. An Englishman,
whose name is believed to be F osdick,
and whose age is about 50,tumbled drunk
into a well 50 feet deep, annexed to the
Post Oflice, on Monday night of last
week, and was drowned. The well curb
was entirely within the wall of the build-
ing and the unfortuiiate man supposing,
probably, the arch over the well’s mouth
to he an entrance into the building, stag-
gerid against the outer side ofthe curb
an fell in. His hat was discovered in the
morning on the back side ofthe curb.—-
This led to a search, and he was found at
the bottom of the well with his head?
downwards. An inquest was held over
the body on Tuesday morning, which
resulted in a verdict that he “came to his.
death by accidental drowning.” Let all‘
drunkards, all tipplers, all who make
beasts of themselves by hard drinking,
read this and beware. Surely, “ the wa
of transgressors is hard.”-Hartford Rev.
From the Daily Albany Argus.
INFLUENCE OE 'l‘EM1’ERANCE‘SOCXETIES.
It is known from the ofliciul returns,
that the domestic distilled spirits in the
city of New-York. amounted in 1828, to’
111,504 casks ; in 1829, to 79,913 ; lie-
ing 31,591 casks less in 1829 than in
1828 ; say near 40 per cent, more in
1828 than in 1829.
From official returns, the inspection of
foreign spirits in the city of New York
in 1828, ainoimted to 2,825,705 gallons ;
in 1829, to 1,695,868, being a falling off
of1,471,718 gallons—--the importations
of 1828 exceeding those of 1829 ris-
ing 75 per cent.
It is calculated from the returns, that
in 18:39 the dimim.ition of foreign spirits,
passing through the city ofNew York
'or domestic consumption, amounted to
1,471,718 gallons, costing at the whole-
sale pricc as many dollars. Of domes-
tic spirits, the diminution had been a-
ncsses inliis behalf. It was allowed by the Court, Ofllle Hilfiford C0HVt3T1ll0n- There W«'15l10t: 30‘ bout 2,000,000 of gallon, worth at first

Castine, if I mistake not, and someotlier parts of
the territory of Massacliiisetts, had fallen into the
hands of the British. The New England States,
under all these disadvantages, were obliged to pro
iect themselves by their own Militia, at their own
expense. The expeuces of Connecticut greatly
exceeded our resources. The duration of the war
could not be foreseen, and our credit became ex-
hausted, Attempts were made to borrow money,
but without any adequate success. The National
Constitution prohibited the emission of bills of
credit. In this extremity while the Legislature was
in session at New Haven in October, 1814. a com-
munication was received from the Legislature Of
Illassacliusetts,proposinga Convention of delegates
from the New England States, to consult on the
adoption of measures for their common safety.-—
This communication was referred to a joint Corri-
mittee of both Houses. General Henry Champi-
on and myself were appointed from the upper
House. He was Chairman of the Committee. I
drew the report, recornmeiiding a compliance with
the proposal made by the State of Massachusetts,
and assigning the reasons at length. This report
was published by order of the Legislature, and ex-
tensively circulated in the Newspapers of this and
other States. Seven Delegateswere appointed to
represent the Convention. As soon as it was or-
ganized, Mr. Otis, a delegate from Massachusetts,
proposed, after seine prefatory remarks, that it
should be recommended to our several Legislatures,
‘ to present a petition to the Congress of the United
"_ States, praying that they would consent that the

agree together for that purpose,-might tutitein de-

HIS morning‘ I tried to make my purse
stand upriglit, but it was suddenly taken
with a cramp, and doubled all up in it heap.-—
Now the Medical Dictionary says that the Nitrate
qfsilrcris an excellent remedy for cramps in the
stomach, and I see not why it may not be equal-
ly us-=ful for curing cramps in the purse. Ishould
like extremely well to make the experiment, there
coiild.certainl_v be no harm in it, and if those
whose duty it is to furiiisli the means will be so
good as to give me the opportunity, lproiiiise in
due time to make kr.own the result for the good
ofthe Public, without fee or reward.
Iftlie remedy should succeed as I am pretty
confident it will, the discovery will be second in
importance to none of 7na(.’r:1vz data except it be
lIalsey’s for the cure of Dyspepsia.
