NORWALK c—:—Az:n'r:iii.-_¥::i.
TUESDAY, 0-) issr.

 

Ficis_rtIJARY ,-,_

A'ir'1is" ‘Arts.

the Sentinel has got tlrename of Simeon H. Mi-
nor,Esq.of Stamfoi'd,into his list of regularly nom-
inated Candidates for the state Senate. Now we
are not about to say that Mr. Minor would not
make as good a regularly nominated cazzdidote as
any body else for thatollice, yet we certainly think
that so long as his friends did not succeed in their
effort to make him such a candidate iii the regular
way, that therefore it is rather unfortunate as well
as irre,grular,fortlrem to attempt to puthiin in at the
'indow, in this way, andtry to make believe as
iflre vvasa realregular. We are afraid that the
people, who are the regulators in all such matters,
will be apt to look upon him as rather an iirtorloper
in the ranks of the regular corps, and on the "zlth
ofApril” put a worse than Maysville veto on all
such mistakes as this.

To the Electors of the I‘2tIr Senatorial District.

The Convention, wiiose duty it was to nominate
a candidate for your snffrages for State Senator, at
‘the ensuing election, having failed to make such
afinorriinntion, it becomes our duty, in compliance
-with public sentiment, so far-as we are able to as-
certain it, to place before you the name ofthe

Hon. BENJAMIN ISAAC-S,

ofNorwalk, as a candidate for that station.

In making this selection, we are governed by no
personal feeling in regard to any other candidate.
It is not our fault that the Electors of this District:
‘are unwilling to commit their interests into the
hands of the individual whose name has been pla-
ced before the puhlic by another paper. The
causes which conspire to give Mr. Mirror popiilar-
ity in his own immediate vicinity are not felt in
other parts of the District ; it is not strange, there-
fore, that all do not regard the question in the light
in which it is viewed by his most zealous personal
friends. Judge [saacs has irad long experience in
the business of legislation. He has long enjoyed
themost entire confidence ofthe Republican party
throughout the state. He has been repeatedly nam-
ed ae acandidate for the oflice, buthas given place
with the utmost cheerfulness to the claims of
friends who have also been brought for ward for the
same station. \’Ve know of no objection which
can be brought to bear against his election. Those
with whose concurrence we ac: and write know

. of none; and it is therefore with the utmost confi-

dence as to the result that we submit the question
to the decision of the people. They know the
whole ground of merit and objection in regard to
each candidate. They cannot be deceived by any

. false pretence,and will not by any management or

intrigue, be induced to give up their own sense of
the right and fitness of things. The ballot boxes
on the 4thof April will show whether our con-
fidence is misplaced.

From the Republican Farmer.
We regret to state that the Hon. David Plant,

~ who was nominated as a Candidate for the next
_ Congress, from this County has declined. There

is no gentleman in whose talents and political in-
tegrity we have nrore confidence, and to whom we

. ' should morecheerfully give our feeble aid ; but as

he has thought proper to withdraw his name as a
candidaze for Coiigress. it becomes necessary that.
'the Republicans ofthis county should select some
other gentleman in his place : especially. as at
_ resent this county has no member ofCongress.—
Ve have made considerable enpgiry, and endeav-
‘cred to ascertain public sentiment, and so far as
we know, CYRUS H. BEARDSLEY, Esq. will
be supported by the Republicans ofthis county for
that otiiee. VVe could wish that a County Con-
vention might be called, and a nomination there
made, but we fear the time is too short : and cer-
tainly this county onght not to be witnout a candi-

. date from delay in making a nomination.

REMARKS:
As will be seen by a “circular” in another col‘

_ unm, a County meeting, which the editors of the

Farmer consider so desii'a_l5le,.is.to be held on the
9th of March at this pliiittii.-L;-"fur the special purpose
of selecting a candidate to fill the vacancy occasion-
ed by the declineature of Mr._Plant. In the mean
,'time itisourdnty,in compliance witiithesolicitations
of many of our most respectable patrons, who

7‘-‘consider the -nomination made by the Farmer in

the .fo'regoing parapraph as calculated to forestall
public opinion, and thus prevent a fair considera,
tion ofthe claims of other candidates, to place the
name of SAMUEL RAYMOND, Esq. of New-

- Canaan, before the people as a candidate for the
station, and as the choice of Republicans in this

section of the County.
Manifestly improper for us, under the present

‘ circumstances to go into any discussion as to the

meritsorclaims,ofeitheroftheso candidates,weleave
the subject entirely in the hands of the Conven-
tion. VVith their decision in the case we shall feel
bound to comply, unless unlocked for occurrences

shall render'it apparent that that decision isa partial
expression qf the public sentiment. Since this con-
vention has been called we trust that measures will
be takerrin each town in the county to secure a full
representation. Wilh so much jealousy to contend
with abroad, Fairfield County owes it to herself to
be united at home,and to suffer no circumstance to
‘produce contention and division among ourselves.
‘Va have hitherto presented an unbroken phalanx
against the enemies of Republican principles, and
for this have commanded the respect of our friends
in other sections of the state. Let us not therefore
now do anything which shall eompromit our own
safety and forfeit our claim to the good will and
cordial support of those with whom we have in oth-
er times efficiently co operated.

It will be seen by our Congressionaljournal that
the Indian question has at length been brought be-
fore the House for discussion, and under circum-
stances which render it quite probable that the
House will adopt some measure for securing the
faithful performance of the treaty stipulations
which this goverment has made with these unfortu-
nate sons of the forest. The question of considering
the petition presented by M r.Everett produced great
excitement in the House. “It seemed” says a
spectator of the scene "to be felt a great crisis, and
one when all must take sides. The Georgia dele-
gallon were in the ‘greatest activity. From the
galleries of the Hall the Cherokee delegation look-
ed down upon the movement below with anxious
hearts. and when the point was finally carried by
the friends of the bill, one of them with tears in his
eyes exclaimed, “Now there is some prospect we
shall find justice here.” Having obtainedthe floor
,Mr. Everett, took olfhis surtout, retreated a few
steps to thc_dc-sk of a friend, and commenced a

 

most able and mgerestipg speech _ He declared his

By some unaccountable blunder, the editor of

subject which had ever come before the American
Congress. He‘ ariimadverted upon the course of
the‘ adirtinistratioii, & “inspired by the great theme
on wh.he dwelt he rose to an u’nu-sual degree of earn-
estness, and seemed powerfully intent on the and
in view‘ —When the speech is published we shall
probably lay it before our readers.

 

GEN. JACKSON AND Mu: CAI1llDUN.—Tll0 U S.
Telegraph of the 17th inst contains t-iceuty columns
of “Correspondence between the President and
Vice President ofthe U. States, on the subject of
the course of the latter in thé deliberations of the
Cabinet of Mr. Monroe on the occurrences of the
Seminole war,” including likewise an address to
the American people by Mr. Calhoun,and other
correspondence growing outof the controversy in
question.

\Ve have read the whole of this with the deepest
attention, and have risen from the perusal with the.
mosteiitire conviction that a breach has been rriade
between these two high functionaries ofthe govern-
ment wliicli can never be healed. All the waters
of Lethe could not wasn from the minds of either
ofthe parties the reinoiiibrance ofthe feelings which
each have indulged while carrying on this contro-
versy. and Mr. Calhoun, especially, will never for-
get that the most ungenerous, most injustifiable
measures have been resorted to by men of exalted
standing in the party willr which he has heretofore
acted, to destroy his character, to ruin his hopes, and
to blast; his every expectation of attaining the high
station to which a laudable ambition as well as his
commanding talents have prompted him to aspire.
VVe have no room this week to give even an outline
ofthe facts here brought to light. In our next we
will give our readers a perfect understanding ofthe
whole subject; they will then judge for themselves
whether Mr. Calhoun is an injured man. For our
part we sincerely regret that such a misunderstand-
ing should liave arisen. However disappointed
Gen. Jackson might have been to find that in 1818
Mr. Calhoun did not approve oflris conduct in the
Seminole war, yet in 1828 he ought, it appears to
us, to have been fully satisfied, from the whole
conduct of Mr. Calhoun towards him during the
space of ten years, that be felt for him the most
perfect frienddshp. He must have known that in
1824,when7.lIr.Callioun stood higher in the State of
Pennsylvania as a candidate for the Presidency,
than any other man, he voluntarily sacrificed his
own claims, and with a generosity unparalleled
led on his numerous and powerful friends in asolid
body as it were, to the support ofliis distinguislied
competitor. It does seem to us, that Gen. Jackson
ought not to have lent his ear to the base caluinnies
of the personal and political enemies of the Vice
President, and for a single opinion eutertaiiied 12
years ago, attempted to sacrifice him. In this con-
troversy Mr. Crawford figures more conspicuously
than any other individual. It was through his
means that the proceedings in the Cabinet of Mr,
Monroe was communicated to Gen. Jackson, and
is now published to the world; others it is true,lrave
availed themselves of the opportunity to fan the
flame, hoping doubtless by the light of the fire
which they thus helped to kindle to trace out their
own dark patlr.to,ofiicial eminence.

As a single specimen ofthe feeling which this
controversy has occasioned we presentthe folloryirrg
letter from Mr. Calhoun to Mr. Crawford which

closes the correspondence as given in the Tele-
graph.
Fort Ilill. October 30, I830.

Sin: The last mail brought me your letter of
the 2d inst. but post marked the 23d, which I here-
with return. I cannot consent to correspond with
you on the subject to which it refers. The con
troversy is not with you but Gen. Jackson. You
from the first, voluntarily assumed the character of
the loriner. Under that character only can I know
you, which of course precludes all comrnunication
between usin relation to the controversy, except
through General Jackson. Regarding you in the
light I do. you may rest assured that no abuse on
your part, however course, not charges against me,
however false, can possible provoke me to raise
you to the level ofa principal by substituting you
in the place of General Jackson in the corres-
pondence. Should you, however, submit to the
degradation of the position which you have thus
voluntarily takeir, and will send this or any oilier
statement to General Jackson, and induce him to
make itthe subject ofaiiy further coinrnunication
to me, as confirming in his opinion your former
statement, or weakened my refutation,I will be
prepared, by the most demonstrative proof, drawn
from the paperitself, to show such palpable errors
in your presentstatement as to destroy all confi-
dence in your assertions; leaving it however, to
those who have the best means of judging, to de-
termine whother the want of truth be owing toa
decayed memory or some other cause.

Having been taught by the past the necessity
of taking all possible precaution where I have any
thing to do witiiyou,I deeirr it prudent not to de-
prive myselfoftlie advantage which your paper af-
fords ine, and have accordingly taken a copy as a
precautionary measure. 1. C. CALHOUN.

 

V A portion of the speech ofMr. Burgess of R. I.
in reply to the Hon. C. C. Camberleng and others,
on the subject ofthe Mission to Russia, is given in
the preceding columns. VVith whatever zest the
reader maydevonr this piece of purgent satire, the
candid and reflecting of all parties must admit the
justice of the following observation of a correspon-
dent ofthe N. Y. Observer.

“ I cannot (says he) approve this inauspi-
cious license of debate, which vents itself in
party and personal criminations. As much
asl admire the power & the pungcncy of Mr.
Burges, and his tremendous dealing with an
udvei-sary,wlio he iinagines has dofie him an in-
suit, or disconrtesy, the nroral effect is positive-
ly bad. It is bad upon the persons irninediatc-
ly concerned—it is bad upon the Iiouse-—it is
bad upoir the country. And the Chairman of
such a body, who does not check and rebuke
personalities, and strangle them in the birth,
so as to save himself the necesisty of 3lI|)\VIIIj_l'
a reply,—is burdened with a great responsi-
bility.”

Fine. —On Tuesday night, about 12 o’clock
the Seventh Presbyterian Church at the cor-
ner of Ridge and Broom streets, under the
charge of the Rev. Elisha W. Baldwin, was
destroyed by fire. The fire is said to have
caught from the pipe of the furnace coming in
contact with the wood work. Tire building
and ground cost $25,000, on which there was
insurance to the amount of$l2000. By the
falling of the cornice several persons were
injured.—-Daily Advertiser.

A rt-ncontre took place at Rodney, air the l:3tb
inst. between Johli Bi-iscoe, Esq. oftlrat place.
and Doctor Benjamin H. liloyler, of Lake

as follows :-— The Doctor accosted Briscoe in

insisted upon the spot. Mr. 13. still desiring
to put it off, even till the next day, after the
wedding was over. The Doctor claimed

pistol from his bosnm.—- —-———
Briseoe being unurined,ran iirtoastore.\s-here

to the company to clear the way. At eleven

wounds were slight.

An inquest W as held over the body: and the

FOREIIGN NEWS.

FROM I"RA.NCE. By the packet
ship Henry IV. arrived yesterday, from
Havre, we have received our regular files
nfPaiis papers, to 31st Dec. inclusive, iir
which we find a few items not contained
in our last London papers. From Les
Communes of 31st, we learn it was on the
7th of that month, that Nicholas received
the first dispatches announcing the revolu-
tioii in \Varsaw: he spoke ofthe numerous
benefits which he had heaped upon Poland,
since the re~establisliment oftlrat kingdom,
ofthe horrid ingratitnde oftliat people by
their deeds : he swore that he never would
sheath his sword till the last rebellious
Pole was piinislred. Two corps of the
army and part of the National Guard, had
received orders to march to Poland, and
Nicholas aniiounced,tliat he would place
himself in person at their head. -

The Einperor, adds another paragraplr,
had set out towards \Varsaw.

It is said that iheEmperor hasaddressed
a note to tlre'European Courts, in which
He says, “ the Emperor with his rebels.”
It is added, that he will receive no Polish.
deputaiion,and listen to no proposilioiis. .
""‘Letters- from \Varsaw ofthe 16th De-
cember, state'that the Poles are about to
publish a manifesto. The demands they
make, it is said,are tliatthe I’oles,thr'ough
their Representatives,shall themselves vote
on the publick taxes.

That the deliberations of the Diet shall
be free and published.

That the lihertyoftlie press shall be es-
tablished.

That noRussiair soldier shall be stationed
in their kingdom.

The conditions the Poles will submit to
Russia, and if granted,tliey will continue
their allegiance.

It is stated, as certain, that the cholera
morbus had extended to \Vars=uv,& spread
great consternation in that city.

Reported Revolution in Rome.--The
following is exlracted from a Marseilles
paper :--" Two letters which have just
reached us from Leghorn state that the
commotion which has broken out at Rome
is a real revolution. The people have
taken possession of fort St. Angelo, pro-
claimed tlro liberty and independence of
all Italy, and have hoisted the three co-
lours of the Italian Republic. A letter‘
from Genoa announces, that at the demand
ofthe people, the prisoners for political
offences, who were confined in great num-
bersin that town, have been set at liberty.

 

FUNERAL OF‘ BOLIVAR.

Jamaica papers of the 8th and 12th of
ofJanuary, received by the British brig
Eclipse, contain some particulars of the
funeral obsequies of Bolivar.

He is said to have died in tranquility,
after making his will, and receiving the sa-
crament, on the 17th of January, at San-
Pedro Alezairdriiio, a country seat about
a league from Santa Martha. The body
was eiiibalnied, and laid in state, in a mon-
ument erected for the purpose, in the Cus-
tum House, which was dressed in mourn-
ing. The place was visited by crowds of
people, so numerous that the staircases
were often quite impassable. His funeral
took place on the ‘Z0tlr, and occupied a-
bout four hours. The Cathedral was de-
corated in a magnificent and imposing
manner. The militia, which were drawn
up on the occ-asion,coirducted in a very or-
derly manner, the band playing two dead
marches, the cannon at the More Castle
firing a gun every half hour, and the bells
pealing. .

The following oflicial documents were
published on the occasion :-

pletely overthrown ; the two first by Bra-

A supplement to the Vera Cruz Censor
of the 8th January, contains a despaich of
Gen. Bravo addressed to the supreme gov-
ernment, dated at Cindad do lus Bravos on
the 2d ; by which he announces that he
lrasjust vanquished the little army coni-
manded by Guerrero and Al 'arez, having
five times successively disloged_it from the
fortified posi:ioiis which it occupied.-—
The army abandoned three pieces ol'can-
non belonging to the castle of Acapulco,
which they had mounted upon field carria-
ges. There now remains only tho band
of Moiigay and Juan Cruz, which \\ as at
Sochipala, and Col. Vincent Gonzales had
gone in pursuit of it.

In his speech at the opening of the ses
siou, the Vice President anuoirirces to the
two houses that he will shortly submit to
them a treaty of amity and coinmerce
which has been concluded with the United
States ofthe North.

When the engagement tools piece band to
