“ Doii’t give tip the Ship.”
J’ NORWALK, \\"f-ZDNESDAYJUNE 14,1837.
“Tin: BALI. IN :tio'rioit.”——Tlic annual elec-
tion of charter officers, for the cities of New
Haven’ and Norwich, occurred on Monday last.
, .The entire \Vhig ticket prevailed in both places.
In t_lie town of Norwich, the Tory majority last
spring was between 20 and 30. Now in the
_'cil_t/, (where we understand the greatest strength
of the Tories lies,) C/iarlqs ll/'. Rat:/.'u'cll the
)Vhig candidate for ‘Mayor, is elected by 136
' majority over his opponent. The Norwich
Courier says, that although the note of prepara-
tion was early sounded by the chief musician of
Humbug party, and agreater number of
"votes were polled titan usual, the average
\V_hig majority was about 125. The “ experi-
ment.” will no longer work at the ballot boxes ;
freemen are beginning to feel that they have
been deceived long.enough.
\-
Somc very pertinent inquiries have been made
‘’‘~ by correspondents, in regard to rumored appoint-
, ‘meats by the Legislature. )Ve think it most tid-
visable‘ to defer publishing these queries, as well
' as our reply to them, until we know whether
i the appointinerits are actually made. “ Sulfi-
cient. unto the day is the evil thereof.”
The following note wepublisli as a specimen
of -the complaints that are daily made in regard
toihe illegal facilities extended by certain post-
masters in this vicinityyfor the circulation of
such newspapers as tickle their own political
fancies. or tend to fill the pockets of editors of
,' ‘‘f_,hie right Slam?/’ who act as agents foi-‘papers
published in other states. There can be no
quéstion but the P. 0. law is directly vialatcd
in the matter. But we suppose that “the go-
« ve_riiment” takes the “ responsibility,” and that
will be the end of it. While on this subject, we
ill however, say, in justice to the postmaster
this place, that we do not believe that he has
€ver been guilty, knowingly, of encouraging or
allowing to pass unrebuked, any such abuses as
those hinted at, in the following communication.
‘We have too much confidence in his integrity, to
think that he will ever sacrifice his duty as :1

am informed. and Verily believe, that some post-
masters in this county, are in the constqnt prac-
tice of furnishing newspapers sent, in a bundle

call for them free ofpostagc; and that some edi-
tors and publishers of newspapers have been

ing the above questions you much will oblige.
_, EQUAL RIGHTS.
In reply to the above, we publish the _P. 0.
Law on the subject, with which our postmaster
has obligingly furnished us :
“ Every printer of a newspaper in the United
States, may send to'every other printer ‘of a
newspaper by mail, one paper free of postage.-
This privilege embraces extras and supple-
ments.” ; ’
J‘he_ privilege of postm asters is thus limited :
“Postmasters,’not to exceed half an otince in
weight, and the receipt of one daily newspaper,
or so many ‘newspapers as will be equivalent
thereto.”
DANBURY MEETING.
It seems that the good people of Danbury do
not feel quite satisfied with being legislated out
of their Representative in the General Assembly,
and intend to talk the matter up at a meeting to
be held on the 17th inst. It is rather, hard, to
be sure, that one careless voter should be per-
mitted to come in as an arbiter and dccide<upo_n-
‘TM
‘the political representation of 800 free ele55t-
ors—especially as these 800 Ifreemeii liafd'de-
cidedionce and again upon another trial of their
strength, which all but 19 of them supposed had
decided the matter. However, we live in “ hard
times.” ‘ The publication of the long list of
names appended to the call for the meeting, pre-
eludes us from giving to our readers this week
the proceedings in the case of “ the contested
election.” The meeting will doubtless be a
rouser.
-——:..
. 01;? “Themes the Electors of the town of
Danbury atthe late election, made choice of
‘David D. .Wildman to be a Representative in
the present Legislature of this State; and the
Hotise of Representatives have turned him out,
and appointed another person to be the Repre-
sentativc of Danbury in his stead——thus'violat-
ing the right of suffrage which is dear to every
freeman, and which we had supposed was se-
cured to us by thc_Constitution of Connecticut;
and whereas this outrage upon the rights of the
people has been perpetrated in answer to the
prayer of the petition of nineteen citizens of
Danbury:
Tlielndependent Republican Electors of the
town of Danbury who voted for said David D.
Wildman, and the other Electors of said town
opposed to the proceedings of the said NINE-
TEEN, are invited to meet. on Saturday, the
17th day of June, 1837, at 3 o’clock in the af-
ternoon,,at Meeker’s Hotel, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the said proceedings,
and expressing the opinion of the meeting there-

Qfiv \V1LLiAM ST. JOHN, Esq. has been ap-

Norwalk, in piece of Stephen Smith, Esq. whose
term of scrvigc expires on the 20th inst.
(K? The Legislature of this state closed its
arduous labors in the cause of “Democracy,”
on Saturday last. A bill to repeal the charter
of the City Bank of N ew-Haven, after passing
both Houses, was vetoed by the Governor.-
(See Luke xvi. 9.)
The bill to repeal the charter of the Stani-
ford Bank, was negatived in the Senate by the
casting vote of the Lieut. Gov. The Quinebaug

FOREIGN NEWS.
The latest advices from London and Liver-
pool, are ofthe 2d May. Information had been
received of the disasters which were produced
by the first fortnight of the great reverse of busi-
nesss in this country; which though it produc-
ed no very great immediate effect upon the mo-
ney market there, created great anxiety for the
future. Great confidence was felt in the bonds
ofthe United States Bank--though the issues
of other institutions were regarded with distrust.
Ofcourse the credit of all our institutions will
be immediately prostrated, as soon as the news
of the general suspension of specie payments is
received. The Mercantile Advertiser perti-
nently remarks as follows: _
The consideration here presses upon us, of
how little should we have felt the pressure had
Government left our currency untouched, and
how very mticli the other ill advised measures
of the aduiiuistration would have been deprived
of their power to do evil, if the Bank of the
United States had not been broken down. Overs
tradiug is the promitieuflliaraetcristic of our
country——and will continue to exist as long as
we are a nation--and it will be equally the case
with Great Britain. Our Government can do
no more than to impose such checks and re-
straints as may be salutary. But to break down
the United States Bank, the regulating and con-
trolling power; and to extend our circulation
from 61 to 186 millions, was calling into action
all the elemetits of speculation andovertrading,
and laying the sure ground ofa rcvulsiongvhich
was to prostrate before it every thing sta le and

as rewards to politlcal partisans in various parts

that would take it—and the bubble of paper

has been the natural consequences of the mad
folly of the Jackson Van Buren party. The
first to give way have been the selected Treasu-
ry Banks. The first who were unable to pro-

course is to replace the currency as far as possi-
ble on the foundation on which it rested, before

\Ve take it for granted that about this time
Great Br_itain is perfectly a\vakcn°.'.l to our real
situation, and in about one month we shall know
the worst. American credits, we assume, are
for the present at an end, and we look for relief
to the Congress in September. by the creation
of a National Bank, which will re-establish our
credit iii London, and without wliicli we believe
the resumption of specie payments to be liope-
less. All else is idle and unprofitable specula-
tion, and we f rbcar to urge it further.
No mategial change in the cotton market had
taken place since our previous advi_ces.

just what they have predicted long ago. \Ve
know nothing that equals their assurance, unless
it be the exclamation of the Irish pilot, when he
ran it ship on the rocks. IIe was conducting a
ship into port : the captain, seeing that he was
a “leetlc corned,” and thinking he was devia-
ting from the channel, asked him iflic was not
going wrong. “ Arrali, let me alone for that,”
said he, with a rich Irish brogue, “ doii’tI know

hardly‘ uttered when the ship struck heavily

was received with the greatest cordiality. Du-

of his friend, Senator Crittenden. At a rural
festival on the banks of the Elkhorn, he met the
citizens of all parties, whom he addressed in a
speech of great length. The Frankfort Coni-
uionwealtli says: ‘The journey which Mr.
\Vebster has made through Kentucky, cannot
have been other than a delightful one; he has
every where been met with the kin_dest atten-
tion and the most free hospitality.
From Frankfort, Mr. \Vcbster proceeded to
Louisville, where, as the Jo'urnal informs us, the
whole eonimunity seemed roused as by one
common impulse to do their deed oi‘ gratitude to
the great defender of the Constitution. Although
Mr. \Vebster eitdeavorcd scduously to avoid any
ostentation and choose the ordinary mode of
traveliiig in the public stages, the people, with-
out concert, tlironged to greet him and welcome
him with overflowing hearts to their homes and
firesides. It was no tinsel parade. Man after
man and throng after throng of’ the bone and
sinew of Kentucky sought the road wlie.re_tIic_v
might irieet the great statesman, who had
breasted and struggled with the storni of deso-
lation which was bearing down all that was fair
and lovely in the land of their fathers. This
is no fancy sketch. Such a scene was never
before witnessed in Kentucky—-not even in the
outpouring of a nation’s gratitude to La Fay-

Mr. Morefiouse was born in Fairfield, and
removed to Danbury in early life. He was one
of the few survivors who were engaged in the
commencement of our revolutionary struggle.
In the month of April 1775. a Regiment of
troops was raised by the state of Connecticut
for the term of seven itiontlis, and placed under
the command of Colonel \Vaterbury. Mr.
Morehousc enlisted in this Regiment, and was
appointed a Sergeaatiri the Company of Cap-
tain Noble Benedict. He served with General
Montgomery throughout the campaign of that
year, on and near Lake Cliamplaiu, and in
Canada—was engaged intlie siege and capture
of Fort St. Johns and Montreal, and upon the
surrender of the latter place, was entrtistcd with
the command of the detachment sent to take
possession of the Citadel. He also served for
shorterteririsin the campaigns of 1776, 1777,
and 1779. Thiough life he was an upright,
honest man.

(whose death was recorded in our last.) was in

regiment; lie was at the battles of'Monrnouth
and Yorktown ; was present at the surtetider of
Cornwallis; he also witnessed and was on duty
at the execution of Major Andre. But it was in
the walks of private life that his character was
but to be known to be admired ; liappy beyond
the common lot of men in his domestic circle, he
lived in great aflizction 54 years with the partner
of his early life, surrounded by an affectionate

parents, have seen for 2-5 years their number un-
