talented and worthy Governor, and the entire
list of State Ofiicers, presented for our support
by the Convention of January last, and have not
the least doubt but tiiat they will be reelected
‘’ by greatly increased majorities, and iliat that
event will he hailed as a certain precursor of a
more important and glorious victory in Novem-
ber next, wlien Harrison and Tyler will be dele-
gated to command the good ship of State. anti
expel the buccancers wlto at present profane her
dccksnvliose piracies have paralyzed commerce,
palsied the mechanic arm, and laid low agri-
culture and mercantile pursuits.
Resolved, That we are highly gratified by the
nomination of our worthy fellow townsmorn,
Joshua B. Ferris. for State Senator, and will
make all possible exertion to effect his election.
by a majority hitherto unprecedented in this
District.
For the Nortvalic Gazelle.
Mr. Editor—-The coming election is one of
more than ordinary interest. It not only in-
volves the organization of the State ‘Govern-
ment, but the result will have an immediate
” bearing upon the next Presidential contest. It is
therefore the imperative duty of the friends of
our Republican institutions, to “gird them-
selvesto the work, like men conscious of right
and resolved on victory.” There is in this State,
an active and persevering minority, who are
attempting to place in the Gubernatorial ciiair
an individual, who has scandaiized and defitmcd
a large body of the honest electors of this State,
by comparing them with ' " Cattle in the mar-
ket,” and denouncing them witii op_nrobrious
epithets—a man, who would dcsccrate the Ex-
ecutive influence to the building up and sustain-
ing a party. who would fasten upon our country
a system and policy which. we believe, will be
subversive of the public interests. and ruinous
1 to the prosperity of the tiation-—and hence, it
becomes us, as a duty we owe to our common
country, in opposing the dangerous schemes of
such a party. to spare nothing of vigilance and
exertion, to act in concert in all public elections,
nd to endeavor by concetitiated effort and ener-
. to sustain the honor and interests, and pre-
ve the integrity of our State and Nation.-—
VVitli the use of proper means and cfliirts, we
shall have the proud consolation of witnessing
correct principles triuirtpliing in this State. over
i the tnachiuutions and evil designs of the. ring-
kieaders of a party, having no governing ntotivc,
save that of “rule or ruin.”
it is truly gratifying to witness the zeal and
energy of our friends, in this matter, in variotis
sections of the Statc,and lam happy to add that
‘even in these parts, the fire of patriotism has
not entirely gone out. Old Greenwicli is awake,
and we, in Stamford, have but little to fear
frntn “the Goths ani the Vandals.” In the
former town, meetings are held every week, by
garljourutnent front one place to another, iii the
’ various districts of the town. for muttial discus-
sion on political subjects, which are well attend-
cd by the farmers and nicchanics, the old and
the young, and much good would be the result
if the same system were adopted in every town
in‘ the State. 'The farmers and working men of
“old Grcetiwich," are determined to regenerate
— and redeem their town out of the hands of its
tresent evil rulers. But, notwithstandingour
prospects are thus bright and cheering. let “ eter-
rial vigilance” be our watchword, until the cue-
“1 my is routed, “ horse, foot, and dragoon"—nn:il
Loco~Focoisui is completely and entirely pros-
, trated—used up. Every elector should remem-
Dbcr that lits vote counts ONE, and that by one
vote a State may be saved or lost. It should be
constantly borne in mind that at the last elec-
tion in Massachusetts, (‘0l‘l‘ttpliOl’l triumphed by
in single vote, and clianged the administration of
the-State. This might be the fate of Cotiiiecti
cut,sliould a single elector neglect to poll his
vote, thinking of success without it.
\ The nominations for the State Ticket, are"
now complett; \Vitli t.he exception of Senator,
the ticket is the same as last year. The indi- ‘
viduals have been tried and fouttd faithful, and
, a re-election will be thcircertain reward. iftheir
friends-’-tlie friends of good order, correct prin-
ciples. and their country, will promptly attentl
thepolls. The Convention that assembled at
Darien, oti Saturday last, has presented to us a
new name for Senator." This,_I understand, was
not the restiltof any watit of confidence in the
gentleman, who ably represented uslast spring,
bttt in consideration of that gentleman having
declined a nomination on personal considera-
tions. The selection made by the Convention
is a good one—it could not be bettered in the
District. A large majority of the electors of
this town, have given repeated evidence of the
. high estimation in which tliey.hold JOSHUA
B. FERRIS,Esq.by electing him to represent.
their interestsTin the popular branch of the Le-
gislature from time to time, and the integrity
3 with which he has ever discharged the duties of
'representaiive,attd his gentlemanly department
on all occasions, have strengthened the attach-
ment of his friends, and broken the arrows of
his political opponents. He is very favorably
known thronghoutthe District, nnd will receive
the united support of the Whigs and Conserva-
es, and be triumphantly elected State Senator.
was not a member of the Convention on
urday, but happening at Darien,'during its
ession, IV was invited to a seat in their body,
and am happy to testify in favor of the good
feelings and unanimity that accompanied all
their proceedings. It refreshes the patriotic
-. heart to drop in at such a convention—a conven-
tion composed mostly of venerable FArtMr;rts.
from every section of the District, notwithstand-
ing the badness of the traveling. These are the

Ell of North Bond is cornmedded to their notice,

at Madrid to ask for their liberty, should they

In this paper and in the Good Samaritan relaitive
to the happy and beneficial cflccts of the admin-

1l_I0'FIA T’S I LrF12 PILLS AND

Those who have perused theiletters above re-
ferred to will observe that in flitnnst 9,...” C849
they attest the fact, that no iiicoiivt-nietir-e Dlillliy
sot! attends the takiiig of these tlimllclnt-‘id, in ii,-.
diiiarycases. but that the pm'm,t_ wi.t,,,.,t reel

previous to being iifiiicted with tll.~‘(~'8.\'e ; and 5.,-
all.case_s of acute sufleriug. great I'€lll. fis obtain.
ed in it lew hours and a cure is generally effected.
in two or three days.
bi'{ir‘r)f;I;S,§?E:-;);iFe\'er of every description, and all
one, ll is unnecessary for me to say ~
auglit, as I. believe the Life- Medicines are now
universally adiiiittedto be the most speedy and
ell'cctunl cure extant in all diseases ti.‘ that class.
‘The Life Medicines are also most excellent
relief in affections of the Liver anti Bowels, as
has been proved in hundreds of cases’ where pa-
tients have come forward and requested that their
experience in taking tlieiri might be puhfisfied
for the benefit of others. In their operation in
such cases. they restore the toneof the Stomach, .
strengthen the digestive organs, and invigorate
the general functions of the whole body, and thus
become to both sexes (for they are perfc('tl_v a-
dapt.-.-d to cat-li) an invaluable means of prevent-
ing tlisPtlS6 and restoring health.
in ztficctions of the head, whether accompani-
cd with pain and giddiness, or m'ar‘ked by the
grievous calamity of impaired mental energy;
in palpitations of the heart. flatulence. loss of
appetite niitl strength. and-the multiplied symp-‘
toms of disordered digestion, the Life Medicines‘
will be found to possess the most salutary cffi-'
cacy. -
Constitutions relaxed. weak. or decayed, in‘
men or women. are under the immediate influ-
ence of the Life Medicines. Old cotighs, asth-
masi, and consumptive habits are soon relieved’
and speedily cured. Poverty of blood’, and ema-
cittted l-in:-bs will‘ ere long‘ meet the happiest
change; the chill? watery fluid will become rich
and balsamic, and the limbs be covered‘ witlr
flesh. firm and healthy.
Nervous disorders of every kind, and from
whatever cause arising. fly before the effects of
the Life Medicines, and all‘ that train of siinllw
ings. huxieties, and tremors which so dreadfully’
affect’ the weak,_the sedentary.» and the delicate.
will in a short time he succeeded by cheerful-
ncss. and every prestige of health.
For tvcakncss. deficiency of natural strength,
and relaxation of the vessels. by too frcquent'=in-
dulgencc oi the passions,this medicine is a saf'e,.
certain. and invaluable remedy.-
Those who have long resided in liotclimates‘,
anti are languid and relaxerl in their whole sys-
tem, may take the Life Medicines with the hap-
piest‘ efi"ecis; and persons fClllO\iflglt) the south-
ern States or West Indies cannot store a more"
important article of health and life. ,
The following cases are among the most‘ re-
cent cures effected. andgrtttefully acknowlcdgedi
by the persons beneiitted:

Thousands of personsafilicted in like manner,

the filires of the stomach, and gives that proper‘
tensity which a good digestion requires. As no-
thing can be better adapted tolielp and nourish‘
