. “ We have been beaten in nearly every quar-
ter. Whole States have left us, and ifthis im-
pression continues to be entertained, I consider
’ that we have witnessed not the end but the be-
ginning ofour defeats."
.Munler offutlge Doughertg/.—The following
mysterious letter [says the St.’ Louis Republi-
can] was received through the Post Office. It
was tinsealed, and is post marked Natehez, Sept.
24. The hand-writing. though evidently dis-
guised or altered, yet indicates thatit is written
by some one who writes a free or business hand.
Ifit is written by the real author of the bloody
deed, it denotes a fearlessness of detection, antl
an indifference to guilt, which is altnost unac-
countable. Secure as he may now feel. we
trust he will be traced out, and meet the merit
of his dr_eadfol crime,

Loco-Foco Machinery.--The Lo-:0-Focos are
now straining every nerve to prepare Connecti-
cut to receive the dose which they expect to
have ready for her next spring. Finding that
local circumstances and misrepresentations have
given them a temporary advantagein Ohio, antl
that by the most outrageous fratitls they have
siicceetled in maintaining their ground in a few
other states, they are taking advantage oftliese
circuiiistaiices, aiitl by using them to give a spe-
_cious coloring to the tlionsand barefaced false-
hoods with which they are filling tlieirjournals
to overflowing, they are striving to inspire their
troops with courage, and to secure those who are
tloubtfnl and wavering. Notwiilistaiiding all
their blusteririg over the partial triumphs which
they have obtained i'n some ofthe late elections.
it is nevertheless a fact that the Whig cause has
gained ground. The majority iii the present
Congress against the Sub-Treasury Bill. as
shown by their voteon the question. is fourteen;
and the result of allwthe elections since lieltl.
shows a clear Whig gain of seven members of
Congress. ‘ Have we any reason for discourage-
trient ?
The Convention which the Loco-Focos have
just held in this city. is only a part ofthe macliiney
forkceping up steam. The number of delegates
appointed, the burning of powder and the great
parade and show of marching their. troops about
town. all give evidence ofthe object. They talk
much ofthe "sober second thought of the peo-
ple,” and yet are using their utmost endeavors
to raise an crcitenzent, to blind the eyes and
rouse the passions of'tl;e people. Let the free-
men of Coonectictit remain firm—let them look
at things calmly and dispassionately. and these
tricks will be found of no avail. Let us stand by
our arms, and next spring will show us a gain
ofsix metnbers of Congress in Connecticut.-

OCT. A. HILL, Surgeon Dentist, having
taken the room formerly occupietl as a
Probate Ofliee, a few doors west ofthe Bridge.
designs to tnake it a permanent stand for the
practice ofhis profession.
He cannot but feel a degree ofembarrassment,
in thus coming before the public—meeting as he
does, on "every hand, the just censure that has
been provoked by the grtiss itn positions practiced
by unprincipled pretenders to the science of
Dentistry. Notwithstanding the names Dentist
and Rascal have“ almost become synon_vmon,s,"
he siill believes there are some retloeming
characters the profession. antl hopes to be
able to secure the respect and patronage of an
enliglitened community.
Every individual who regards a good set of
teeth, should have them examined. at leastonce
in six'or twelve months, by a judicious Dentist,
and proper measures taken to preserve them;
much pain and suffering as well as incon-
venience may be prevented by these means.
He designs visiting Ridgefield, and the atl-
jacent towns, sufficiently often to meet the pat-
ronage of his friends, and to adjust any thing in
his line that mav be wrong.

ed, separated, extracted. (Sac. &:c. &c.

A RARE IOPPORTUNITY.
ES, reader, such ati opportunity as is not
often offered. The Ctiiifectitinary estab-
lishment of N. S. Bailey 5- Spit, is for sale.
There is no jesting in this. the subscribers have
really offered theirconcern for sale.
This establishment possesses ' advantages
not equalled by any other of the kind between
New York and Boston.
The extensive back country whicli it now sup-
plies, the facility of coinniunication with New
York, its receipts being wholly in cash. and con-
sequently the small amount of capital required
to conduct. it, renders it an exceedingly rare op-
porlunity to any person tvisliing to engage in a
lucrative business. It will not, it is true, fill a
man's purse in a moniertt, but it is such as to se-
cure agood profit,
Any person wishing to invest a small snrn of
money in this way. will learn further particulars
by calling at No. 5, B,_urrall~’§ Buildings, at the
