this is at least equal to the wages of a week's
work. Now we ask the laboring men of
Connecticut, when did the Loco-Focos ever
pnssa law so beneficial. to you as this ?—
They made you, by their oppressive law of
1837, which they fraudulently called a law
. “to abolish imprisonment for debt,” liable at
all times to be factorised. Is this the proof
of their friendship, or do you go ftirther and
look for it in their famous “Boil—up-law,”
which they passed in 1833 'l
THE LICENSE LAVV.
A great clamor has been raised by some of
the Loco-Foco papers against the License
Law of 1838. This law was passed with
the express approbation of several respecta-
ble retailers, and is far more liberal than the
‘old law. Let the reader look at them both
and judge for himself.
- By the old law, no man could sell as a re-
tailer without a license, and no licensed re-
tailer could sell by the small quantity to be
drank on_tlie premises, without making him-
self liable to a fine of $10 for the first of-
fence, $20 for the second, and so on doubling
with every offence. This was the old law.
Now look at the new. By its provisions
any man can sell any quantity, however
‘ small, provided it is not drank on the premi-
ses, without any license ’wlL(l»le1.‘€T, unless the
civil authority'and select-men meet and pro-
hibit him, and in that case, he can continue
to sell any quantity not less than five gallons.
The civil authority and select-men it is true
can prohibit a man’s selling, and so they
could by the old law-—by refusing him a
cense. The difference is decidedly in favor
of the new law, for by the old law, in order
to retail, you must first apply to the proper
authority fora license. If the license was
granted, you could retail; if otherwise, you
could not. By the present law, you nped
not apply for a liocnse. but may proceed un-
mediatcly to retail, and continue it until the
authority apply to you. As it regards selling
by the small quantity to he drank on the pre-
mises, it was prohibited by the old law, and
is also prohibited bythe now, though by the
new law you may sell any quantity however
small, if you do not allow it to be drank in
our store, and this too without a license, tin-
less prohibited as above. V
Vllhat retailer, after this stateniefft, can fail
to see that the present law is more liberal
than the old.

and prominent reason, why we are sure it is
forithe interest of the people of this state to
change their delegation is connected with the
Public Lands. ' Your present delegation in ’

it away. The interest which the people of
Connecticut have at stake in this matter, is

go where your treasury has gone. to buy
popularity for this administration. This ad-
ministration, claiming to be one with its “ il-
lustrious predecessor,” began first with buy-
ingpartizans with the public offices. The
plan answered, until the stock was exhausted.
This we call bartering the honor of the na-
tion. I Secondly, it used the treasury for the
same purpose, until it was too empty. This
was your personal estate. The third and

here to leave it—simply obs.-—rving, that if

VVell, here they are:
It is a fact that the Government, under the
present Administration, has wasted a revenue
of forty millions of dollars, and become bank-
rupt. ‘
It is a fact that the country has suffered
more from the mismanagement of General
Jackson and Martin Van Buren than from all
external or internal causes since the Revolu-
tion. .
It is a fact that there has been less improve-
ment in our bays, harbors, and lakes, inex-
tending our commerce by its introduction in-
to foreign ports—-—and inour naval forces dur-
ing the present Administration" than during
any preceding.
It is a fact that there has been more money
expended in the support of a disgraceful and
inhuman warfare upon_ the natives of our
country since 1830 than is sufficient to stip-
port the Government in its legal operations
for twice that period. .
It is a fact that the ex eriments of the ad-
ministration have causedpmore distress to the
country than the ,combined results of wind,
fire, and water, .
It is a fact that moreqthan five hundred
thousand dollars has been stolen from each
and every state by the officers of the present
Government. .
It is a fact.that the state of society morals,
and, religion has been more corrupted and de-
based by the examples of men in O.WCl‘, dur-
ing the present administration, t an at any
other period in the history of our country.
It is a fact that the “cloven foot’, of the
administration has shown itself in all its hide-
ous deformity during the last elections, and
since then in Congress, where every effort
has been made to deprive the people of their
legal rights.
,- It is a fact that the Government expends
annually more money in support of its mea-

IVIAKE READY! -
Do the Whigs of this County know what
the Locos are about? They make very little
noise, to be sure, btit they require the closer
watching for this very reason. They are
secretly at work in every school district in
the County. They profess to be quite indif-
ferent as to the result ofthe approaching elec-
tion, and many say that they do not expect
to carry it. But this is all afcint to deceive
the VVhigs—-throw them off their guard, in-
duce them to relax their efforts, and thus take '
them by surprise. Depend upon it, that the
‘Locos were never better organized, or more
determined to carry an election than they no.3?
are. John M. Niles has his correspondents
in every town, who receive their instructions
from him, and in pursuance thereof, are yok-
ing up all the “cattle” they can find. Mr.
IV/zitt.:'esc_1/, too, is openly in the, field; and
not content with electionecring for himselfin
the Bridgeport Farmer, is, attending caucus-
es, and making speeches wherever opportu-
nity offors. Let no \Vhig, then, flatter him-
self that we are to gain an easy victory. It
is very evident that the enemy will contest
every inch of ground, and are making most
thorough and eflicient preparation for the
conflict. Let the W'higs, then, delay no long-
er to meet them in the outset. No time is to
be lost—.—another week, and it may be too
late to retrieve the consequences of past re-
missness. 'I‘o the work then-—to the work !
R()'I‘A'l‘I().\l IN OFFICE.
‘Rotation in office is one ofthe most beautiful
doctrines in the Republican creed. It tends to
-equalize the burdens which must,.of necessity.
be imposed upon every citizen, and to diffuse
the blessings of our excellent government, like
the dews ofheaven, equally upon all.
It produces another effect not less ‘important.
It impresses upon the minds ofincumbents, this
great truth-—thal they hold their stations in trust
for the benefit of the peoplc—that they are the
agents and amounts of the people; and, above
all, that, as individuals, they have nopioperty
in the offices _which they hold.
Nothing is more common than to see office-
holders who have been continued for long periods
in their stations, come finally to regard them as
a species of private property ; and resent, with
indignation, any interference on the part ofthe
people.
Now the application of the doctrine of Rota-
tion in office cures this evil, and teaches to the
incumbents and to all. that it belongs to the
people to select their own agents.
We have been led to these reflections by look-
ing at the case of Mr. VVhiiIlesey, the late
member of Congress from this county, who
is again nominated for reelection. Ifthere ever
was a case calling for the application ofthe rule
now under consideration. this is one. In the
first place, there can be no pretence that his
services are required for a further term, on the
ground of his eminent position as a politician,
or his great abilities, or for what he has done.
\Ve have ncverlicard of him whileiin Congress,
excepting when the ycas and nag: have been
Penn. to order. and before he took his seat. got
out of order himself. As a politician, he has
been a mere instrument in the hands of others,
and has followed the lead ofthe master spirits.
Ifhc has performed any important public servi-
ces, his friends can doubtless point to tlism—we
have never heard ofthem.
One fact, however, we all know. Upon the
great questions of public policy, which during
the period of his holding a seal in Congress. have
attracted the attention of the people, he has
uniformly voted in violation of the expressed
will of his constituents; and not only so, but in
ztcltnou'lcalged opposition to their deliberate in-
structions.’ ‘
As to his abilities, his most ardent fr-it-,nds
must admit, that the least said on that subject,
the better.
Butin opposition to all this, we are constant
ly met with the observation, in the mouths of
his advocates, that he is “auery clwe;-ma.,,,_"
NOW we cannot estimate very h.ghly the
cleverness of .a man who has been guilty of all
the political sins with which Mr. Whittlesey is
justly chargeable--who has by his votes con-
é.
tem, introduce anarchy, and continue public '
taken, and once when he called Mr. Nuylor, of
tributed to destroy the prosperity of his cou-
, stituents; and who, when by ii majority ofn thou-
sand. they instructed him to pause inhis reck-
less course, turned a deaf ear to their remun-
strances. 0’
But let all that pass for the present, and grant
that he is, as claimed in his behalf, --4. very
clever man.” We ask the question, in reply.
have not the people abundantly compensated
him for all such claims’! From hearing this
argument ofiten urged, we have been induced to
make a computation of the amount paid him
from the public treasury, within a period ofless
than three years past, and find the result amply
sufficient for more than forty "very clever"
men. That compensation is as follows:
For fees as member of Congress, at
$8 peridny, from 25th April, 1836.

\Ve ask again if this sum is not an ample re-
compense for all the merits which Mr. Whittle-
sey has been claimed to possess, and for all the
services which he has performed I \Ve think
there can be but one answer to this question.
Ought not the doctrine of rotation to be applied
to his case? \Ve are rejoiced to learn :hat in
every part of the county. Mr. Whitilesey’s con-
stituents not only think it ought to be, but have
determined that it shall be so applied.
()?There are several new publications upon
table. which will receive due atten-
tion. as soon as we can find time or space for
a suitable notice of them. The Gentleman's
Magazine for March, deserves a more extended
comment, than we can give it until afterelection.
The New Haven Record, a new weekly, is-
sued by Wm. Siorer, Jr. designed to take the
place of the Religious Intelligencer, which has
been discontinued, is very well got up, and will
doubtless answer the ends of its establishment.
OUR‘
E’ Mr. VVhittlesey says, in his letter to
Sands Adams, in defence of the Sub-Treasu-
ry—“ If the naked proposition, disrobed of
all party considerations, was put, to allow
the agents of government to use the public
revenues for their private emolumcnt, it
would be scouted with indignation.” VVe
believe this as firmly as Mr. Whittlesey does.
But neither he nor any of the Federal Sub-
Treasurers, will safer it to be disrobed of
party considerations, if they can help it. It
is the very head and front oftheir offending,
that they will not present “the naked propo-
sition” to the people. No-—-they must clothe
its nakedness, they must array it in purple
and scarlet, and bedeck it with all that is pre-
cious in the eyes of the party, in order to
prevent its being “scouted with indignation.”
Like the scarlet lady of Babylon, the mother
of abominations, the Sub~Treasury
“ Is it monster of such frightful mien,
That to he hated. needs but to be seen.”
And therefore it is that the whole art of the
Executive and his partisans is employed to
conceal its deformities, and by a tasteful and in-
genious toilette so dress it up as to make the
hideous old beldame really appear quite like
a virgin beauty. But the Yankees are not
so easily cheated. They always want to see
“ what’s under the kiver,” and are not in the
habit of “buying a pig in a poke.” We ra-
ther think, therefore, that they will be inclin-
ed in this case, to strip the Sub-Treasury
scheme of its “ party considerations,” and
take a “ naked” view of it—and when
they have done that, it needs no Ex-Member
of Congress to tell us, that the “critter” will
be “scouted with indignation.”
Nrzw-HAMrsiiim:.-—The election in this State
has resulted as every body thouglit it would.-
Tlie Locos hold their own. The Tory presses
in Connecticut will doubtless be ready to split
with exultation, and will raisea tremendous
hullabaloo. about the “ Victory in New-Hamp-
shire." But Queen Victoria might with just as
much reason order a “ Te. Deum.” to be song
because the British troops are still in_ possession
of Gibraltar.
New-Yoiu{.—The Tory papeys are quite si-
lent in regard to the result of the recent town
elections in the State of New-York. Last fall
they were all predicting the “ reactions" which
were to take place this spring. But they do not
new seem to be aware ofthe fact, that the
Whigs have carried all before them. At any
rate, they do not mean that their readers shall
know it, until after our own election. Very
cunning, this! i
E Mr. Whittlesey says of the Sub.-Trea-
sury bill¥—“ There are two important features
in this bill. The first is, that the public mo-
nies shall not be used for private purposes:
and the second is, that such an act is made a
penal offence.” Wonderfullll And have our
laws hitherto permitted the public monies to
be used for private purposes '2 We know that
the Secretary of the Treasury has, but we
ask, have the laws of the U. States allowed
it? Mr. \V. must think that he is_address-
log Niles’ “cattle,” when hebrings forward

If they do not, if a public officer may plun-

and Price run of for? And why are all our
defaulting Loco-Foco Poet-masters on the
road to Texas, before their roguery is brought
to light? And how happens it that General
Jackson managed to imprison Tobias \Vat-
kins for years, because he was detected in
using $3000 of the public money “for pri-
vate purposes ’l” Oh fie! Mr. Whittleseyl
don’: insult your old constituents, by “talk-
ing turkey” to them in this stylcl Remem-
ber, that on the first Monday of April next,
-they will have an opportunity to return the
compliment!
E” There is one very good reason why the
Whigs of the 11th Senatorial District should he
a little more on the alert than ever before. If
the Locos should happen to get a majority in our
next Legislature, they will doubtless appoint N.
H. Wildman, Senator for the llth District,
wliatevertlie votes of the district may say to the
contrary. His friends in that district may there-
fore consider it absolutely certain that he will be
made SenaIor,wlI.etlier elected, or not—if they
can only elect a majority of the Legislature.-
He was appointed Representative for the town
of Danbury in the same way. in 1837. and will
hardly fail to get a peg higher in the same way,
next May. ifcircumsiances should favor the at-
tempt. ‘

field. as their candidate for Senator, vice VValker

and will secure the united support of all who are
opposed to the Sub—Treasury, and the whole
system of Loco-Foco humbuggery.
PRECIOUS CONFESSION.—-In spite of the
This old‘proverb will frequently occur to the
mind of every well-informed person who
reads Mr.Whittlesey’s letter to Sands Adams.
He does not write a dozen lines, without in-
advertently suffering some truth to escape
him, which sets at naught all his logic and
exposes his sophistry. He seems to lose sight
altogether of the intelligence of the people,
and talks as if be imagined they knew no-
thing except what he graciously vouch-safes
to tell them. For certainly, if he did not en-
tertain a most contemptible opinion of their
intellectual faculties and acquirements, he
would not be quite as careless as he is in lay-
ing down his propositions. He would take
a little more pains to cover up his tracks, and
be a little more cautious in drawing his con-
clusions. _ . -
For instance, he says, expressly, that “the
use of the public funds in trade, speculation
and private gain, both by banks and individu-
als, is one of the great causes of our pastdif-,
ficulties.” Now this is precisely what we
have often said. .There is no doubt of its
truth. Every man in the community knows
it to be the fact. And it is for originating
these very “causes” that the, VVhigs have
censured and denounced the ' Executive and
his partisans. The placing of "-the public
funds” in the hands of banks, for the very
purpose of having them. used “in trade, spe-
culation, and private gain” by individuals, and
issuing Treasury orders to these Banks ‘to
increase their discounts upon the strength of
the government deposits, was the act of the
Executive, as every body knows. We re-
joice then to hear Mr. Whittlesey acknow-
ledge, as he does, in effect, that the financial
great causes of our past difficulties.” His
readers willbe very apt to draw their own
conclusions——one of which we venture to sziy
will be—to give every man who has aided
the Administration in involving us “in our
past difliculties,” leave to stay at home.

THE SUB-TREASURY.
The \Vliigs object to the establishment of the
Sub-Treasury system. because,
Ist. Experience has demonstrated that it isfar
less safe than the old system.-
During the thirty-seven years Illa’ the public
money was deposited in the U. S. Bank, it is
well known that not one dollar was lost, of the
hundred millions which were placed there for
safe keeping. The Secretary of the Treasury.-
"ltoncst Levi," as-Mr. Wise calls him. admits
that more than one million and a half, has been
lost by State Banks; and that up to the year
1834. about one million has been lost by the de-
falcations of collectors and receivers. We all
know that more than another million may be
added to this sum, and charged toithe current ac-
count of Messrs.-Swartwout, Price. 6: Co.

Working men of this country will not tamely
submit to be reduced to a level with those of
Europe, who are so ground down by their em-
ployers, Ihat they are not even called men, but
"opcratives”-as if they were mere machincsyto
be worked by their proprietors. _ i
These are some of the reasons which compel
the \Vhigs to oppose the Sub-Treasury scheme-—
the favorite scheme of Mr. Van Buren. and one
too which he and his supporters are determined
to saddle upon the people, if they will only give
them it chance to buckle the girlhs. And for
the very same reasons. the freeman of the State
of Connecticut ‘disapprove ofthe course of, their
Representatives in Congress—all of whom have
done their best to carry out the wishes of Mr.
Van Buren in this matter, in spite of the re-
monstrunces and inslruclionsoftheir constituents.
And this is not the only cause they have to be
dissatisfied with theirmisrepresentatives. Who:
has been their conduct in relation to
THE PUBLIC LANDS?
‘By a report recently made to Congress, it ap-
pears that there are now more ilian seven hun-
dred millions of acres yet unsold. These lands.
it will be remembered, were purchased by the
toil, the treasure, and the blood of our revolu-
tionary fathers, and were given by the old thir-
leen states toihe general government for the com-
moo benefit of all. Atthe loweslestimate, these
lands are worth more than nine hundred millions
of dollars. If Mr. Clay's laud bill had become
a law, Connecticut would already have received
from this fund more than $1,200,000; and an
equitable distribution of the balance, when the
whole of this public domain should have been
sold, would have put into ourState Treasury up-
words of thirty millions of dollars! and saved
the people ofthe state from every thing likea tax
in any shape. or for any purpose, for centuries.
And yet Mr. Van Buren is opposed to this plan
ofan equitable distribution. and so is Mr. \Vhit-
tlesey, and every one of our members of Con-
gress who nre now candidates for reelection.
T Are the intelligent and patriotic electors ofthis
state, prepared to send these men to Washing-
ton again, to misiepresenttlieir interests, to vote
away their property, and to sell the state out
and out to Marlin Van Buren? Next Monday

SHOCKING AFFAIR!
The Locos have been cntleavoring to wake
the people of this state believe, that the grant
made by the last Legislature, of $1000 to the
Prison Discipline Society of Massachusetts, was
a very extravagang piece of business, and de-
serving ofilie reprobaiion of every honest man.
Now every member ofthal Legislature, and
every Loco-Foco editor in the state, knows that
thefacts are nothing more nor less than these.
The Prison Discipline Society had actually
expended between thirteen and fourteen hun-
dred dullars, ‘(principal and interest.) for the
support of a chaplain at our State Prison, at
Wethersfieltl, for the religious instruction ofthe
convicts in that prison; and the last Legisla.
ture, in partial discharge ofthe obligation which
the stale owed to this society, directed the VVar-
den of the Prison to pay to that Society from
the avails Q/'tlieP1-ison. in three semi-annual in-
stallments the sum ofone thousand dollars.
A shocking affair truly! No maxi who would
cheat his creditors out of their honest debts‘
can approve it. This business of paying debts
is a breach of Loco-Foco patriotism and morali-
ty!
WHAT is THE MATTER ?—It appears that
“the good old democratic town of Greenwich,”
as the Tories call it, was not represented at the
Loco-Foco State or County Convention.-
“Straws show which way the wind blows.”
“ HAimoNv.”—Why does no; the Bridgeport.
Farmer report some of the speeches which were
made at the " spirited and harmonious" Loco-
Foco Convention at Westport? We should like
to have heard Mr. Woodin's argument against
the re-nomination of Mr. Whiulesey. on the
ground that he voted in favor of giving to the
new states the right of Connecticut in the Pub-
lic Lands! (The honcst Locos can’t get over
this stumbling block.) And then the eloquent
and overwhelming reply of " the Great Oak!”
The Convention were doubtless very sorry that-
John M, Niles would not let them drop Mr.
Whitllesey, and rally uqqe; “the shady shadow”
of that “ uinbrageous _tree!” .
And then. it must have been the sweetest
" harmony.” to have heard certain members of
the Convention dissect the political character of
Jacob Beeis—Niles’ candidate for Sheriff! And
then again, to have witnessed how soon these
jarring notes were hushed into perfect concord,
on learning the will of the said John M. Niles,
like havinga mastcr-spirit, to reduce discards
into harmony. We have heard before of “ the
Connecticut Nightingale.”

After stating facts connccted with this dic-
falcation which convict i the Solicitor of the

the committee remark;
inefficiency or negligence in the administra-
tionof the department of the Solicitor of the_
6m impulses of Mr.’ Price's def-alcation. It
is to be found in the pecuniary irresponsibili-
ty and want of trustworthiness, as a prof“-
sional mm, at the time of his appointment to
the office ofdistrict attorney in I838, bv Presi-
dent Jackson, as also at the time of his reap-s

Those cliaraicteristics of Mr. Price appear to

was selected.
To this point many witnesses were exam-
ined by the committee.

abstract of some of the testimony. Alex.

testified as follows-—“ I have known Mr’

A. S. Depoystcr, formerly at \%'ClgI)('f in
