,4 As soon as the Legislature ,wl_is c‘onv'ent:d.o'
’ room was preparedlby the _Harlford Begency.for
tho’ _Lo'c,o'-‘Foco members to meet iii. This room
was over th'a'marli‘c't. a‘ door ke'e'b'or"vtili!t"it'l'w.ay‘li
bertr’ were allowed entrance. To be sure, they
had tbeirpublic meetings at the State House;
but here, in this secret manner, was concocted.
to be carried out in the Legislature, all the mess
urea of the ofiice-holders. Thus. when any im-
portant measure was coming before the House,
or the Regency were going to move on ariypar-
ticular subject, the Loco-Fuco members were
czillcd together. for the purpose. as the Rt-gency
said. of having the country uteltibers understand
the question. “ toe the mark,"and be prepared to
resist any arguments the " ti.-derail lawyers"
might use against their favorite schemes. A
resolution would be offered to do so and so; and
,ihe rule was to rill, abide by the decision Oftltc
majority’! For instance, when the small bill
law was liiider consideration-—a law which every
class of community dcmaitdétl eitcept the oliice
holders——:lte.qllestinn being oti its final passage,
Charles B. Phelps moved to strike out the enact-
ingtclausc. In the debate which 'follrnved'oll
this motion. he said " that he wished to be dis-
tinctly Lllldel'1§lO0(l. he wonlrl do nothing half
way; that it was at test question. and decided
the fate ofllte bill." The ,i,_:ood scnseofthe incul-
bcrs when left to themselves. with all the argu-
merits which could be raised by all the lenders
in'the House, defeated the liiotioli by it majority
of 21. The question then rectirrell on the
liassageofllic bill, a motion was made toadjouru.
which succeeded, Antecliilg ofihe Loco-Foco
ltlemhcrs was then suiiftinoned fortlivvilh, the
whole Regency was in ii buzz ; speeches were
made by some lialftlogen; it would be the death
ofihe party iflhe bill passed in the shape it was
in; ii was agreed to tticktun an amendment to
the bill. which the leaders knew would make it
ii complete nullity. and renderit of no sort of use
to the corpmunilv. 'At the next meeting ofihe
House the bill again came up ;. the tttnendmeitt
was moved ; the faithful tools of John M. Niles
"med the mark ;”- it was carried, and in this
shape the bill passed. The public now know
what effect this aiiteritlinent has had. Our own
Banks, the stock of which is put into the list at
six per cent. higher than any other kind of
property—in whose solvency every person in
the state has the utmost corifitlenre. are not al-
lowed to issue small notes on the same condi-
tions that we are flooded with them from other
States; riiuny of which are utterl_v’worlh_|ess,
zicll which it is almost impossible for the great
mass ttftlteconttituiiitytn llllow any thing about;
which are at a great discount, and by which the
people oftlte State have and will lose an int-
iitense amount. Oiir Banks can pay oilt 1] one
or two dollar bill on a batik in Canada or Kalli-
schatka. but their own they must keep in their
drawer. This is the effect of that uiiiendliienl.
So it was in "relation to the appoinlinent of
Sheriffs; the Litcllfieltl county olijccrs; the re-
peal of the chaiters of the City and Stamford
Banks; and. in fact, any question of the least
intpol-lance had first to be agreed upon in secret
conclave. without knowing its merits or what
uiigltt be urged in favoror against it, the tnujnri-
ty went into the House pledged bya resoluliorz
how to vote. No matter if it was taking away
the only source from whiclt the widow and
orphan children derived their bread, as was the
case in taking away the Batik r:harters—or
whether zllere was any reason for it or not. John

It will be rccollecled. that in the town of Dan-
hury. on the first trial. there was ‘no choice of
first represeiltative— David D. \V_lltlll]€ltt and
Nathaniel H. \Viltlnla.n being the calttlitlates.
N. H. Wiltlliiiitl received 4l9 votes. D. D.
Willlmarl 413. and 7 scattering-making in all
420. The ballot boxes were by the presidiltg
lillicer closed beliire the hour allowed by law had
expired, and before all the persons had voted;
hilt by the assent of all parties the subject was
postponed to a subsequent‘day, when another
trial was bad. whichvalso resulted in no choice.
The third trial was then ball, which resulted in
the eltoice of David D. Wildinait by it majority
of]? votes. who received the certificate of elec-
tion. and took his seat in the House. A re-
iponslraiice was then got up against his holding
his seat. on the ground that N. H. \Viltlman was
elected on the first ballot. It wiis resented to
the House and referred to the coiiiirittice on elec-
tions. cousisting of Joel Hinittan, Thaddeus
Welles and I-Iirarri Goo_tlwin—_two Loco-Focus,
and one Whig.
On Tuesday evening, May 23d, the committee
having got through with the evidence, the Loco-
Foco members were called together at their
secret room. Mr. Curtiss of Monroe ill the chair.
‘After disposing ofotlter business the question of
this election was brought before them. It was
stated that the committee would report the next
morning; and a resolution was finally offered
that they would one and all sustain lltal.reporl'
whatever it might be.’, I-linman and Welles
were both present, Samuel Raymond, Charles"
B. Phelps, and two others made speeches in fa-
vor of the resolution. Raymond in particular
spoke loud and ‘long. and among. other thing
said, “that he wanted to see the face ofthat de-
mocrat on thelfloor ofihe House; that the Whigs
would try to have .the report laid on the table :
but he wanted every man to Hoe the mark,’
and lows the question decided that forenoon ;"
of course without givingthe minorilyofthe coin-
mittee time to write out a counter report l! The
resolution passed unanimously. Inthe Housethc
next morning the majority of the committee re-
ported that D. D. Wildman was not legally
elected, and that N. H. Wildman was dilly
chosen and entitled to his seat as a member.--
After some discussion. Mr. Goodwin. the minori-
ty ofihe committee stated that he had not had
time to make out it counter report, and moved to
lay the subject on the table forlhe‘ present. which.
was refused; at this time. however. a nlember
rose and announced the’. death of Mr. Buckley.

From a careful esaliliiiatinii of this snlfect. I
have .bt-coiric fully convinced, that “The Go-

ble. It is true. that the "atllniliislrrtlioli and
its partisans attribute it to over banking, and
over trading.’ But who caused over banking.

therefore the ellccts of the 'iiii,wis,e measures

The Gold Circular has also had it powerful ef-
fect. in producing the pr» sent disastrous condition
of the country. In zidtlilion lotlte iltexpedieiicy
of this tnezisnre, it was an illegal assuiilptioit of
power bythe Preside-tit, and ought not to have
been isulittiitted lo. Forif a people mice per-
lnil their rulers .to exercise powers not delegated
by the Constitution and Laws, with impunity.
their liberty is in danger; liir power is constantly
steiiliilg from the litany to the few. The people,

with gold. But how miserably have we been
disappointed. -Tlie gold ‘has all vanished. ex-
cept what is kept for the oflice-lioldcrs; and
the people feel comparatively happy, if they
can but obtain a few “R.-1G5." whcrewith to
pay their hottest debts.
The removal of the Deposites, the lleslrucliuil
of the Niitinttal_Bank.'aiid the Gold _Circular,
have in myjudgmepl, been the principal causes
of all the ertibzlrrassiriciils and distress, wlticb
we have experienced. since the adoption oftliose
ill-advised and destructive _me-asttres.
And now. if we are right as to the cause, the
