WHIG-‘STATE CONVENTION.
Notice” has been given , by the State Central
Committee of this state that a state convention
Wm bf! held at New,Haven. on \Vednesday the
.17lh.§lay_of February next. for the purpose. of
nominating candidates for state officers, to be
snpportedat the spriogelection.
WThe Con_vention is to be composed of dele-
gate equal to twice the number of Representa-
tives in the General Assembly. The Town
Costniittees, are requested to call meetings in
, It is
desirable that every town should be represented.
their respective towns to elect delegates.
Moat: Tiii-:.tsurtv No'ri-:s —Appll(‘alion has
again“ been made by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury to‘ Congress for authority to issue another
batch of that peculiarly loco foco currency, to
the amount or$5.ooc.0o0. This application i. ur-
ged upon the immediate attentioti ofCongress, as
"ihe department is in dailyj;.-opartly of not being
able, at certain points. to raise/.ivailal;ie means
sulficieni-to meet the public engagements at those
points.“ In 'accorda_nce with this appllcatlon._&
to preserve the public faith, the Committee of
\Vays and Means. have reported _a bill to the
House granting to_Mr. Woodbury the requisite
authority to put the mill into operation. What
a gold promising and paper issuing administra-
tion isthat of Mr. Van Buren !

‘ REMOVAL or Rnconnnn MORRls‘—Our read-
ers will no doubt learn with satisfaction. that
the‘Recorder of the city of New York—-the func-
tionary wlto figured so conspicuously in the
late ‘awful disclosures‘ ofthe election conspira-
cy. in that city, has been removed from olfice.
His disregard of those laws which he had sworn
to support, rendered him until for a public ad-
tninistrator ofjostice. The vacancy has been
filled by the appointment of F. A. Talmadge, (1
Esq.Mr. T. ofwhom we know but little, is repre-
sented to us by those acquainted with him, as a
gentleman of reputation and highly respectable
talents. The Journal of Commerce. however,
puts him down as one of ‘the worst men in all
c_reation—a moral iiconsierl whose covering
the Journal threatens to loss over the gentleman's
bead and ‘expose his ltidious deformity, to the
world. But the Journal is a licensed carper—
inveterate in its dislikes—relentless towards the
victim ofits hate. Its statements may therefore
be received with many grains of allowance.
THE L.tinIi::s' COJIPANION.-Title welcome
periodical visitor should have received earlier at-
tention ; but, however late we are not (lisposed to"
give it the go by. The Companion in our opin-
ion ranks with the best magazirtesi-in the coun-
try. It is sustained by contributions front
the pens of the‘ best writers, both male and fe-
male, and its extensive patronage is but tltejust
reward of its merit. We commend it to the at-
tention of till, but particularly to the ladies.

1\I.tssActtUsi:'r1's SENATOR.-_-On Monday of
last week, Hon. Isaac C. Bates of Northampton,
Mass. was elected to fill the vacancy occasion-
ed by the resignation of ‘Honest John Davis.’
On .a,s.ubseque'nt ballot Mt. B. was also elected
for the full term ofsix, from the expiaton ofthe
term 1'-tr which Mr. Davis had been chosen.
Tar; AMISTAD Ar-‘itrcAi~'s.—-'I‘he Journal of
Commerce says it is rumored from Washington
that these poor fellows are, after all to be given
up to,tbe ‘Spanish’ authorities. To the semi-
ments of the Journal on this subject we presume
nearly allcitizens will heartily ‘respond. That
paper says in reference to the rumor of their
r'lestiuy._ "3. We cannot believe it, aiid will not,
till it cbmes to'_pass.t Evidence abundant and
superabtindant ltas been brought to prove that
they are not slaves in any proper sense of the
term, having been stolen from Africa and land-
ed in Cuba but a short time before their ship-
ment on board the Atnistad. Should they be
delivered up to the Spanish authorities, nothing
but the" interference of England can save them,
or many oftheiri. from an ignotriihious death.
'In regaining their freedom, they did what every
man possessing the spirit of man, would have
done in siiriilar circumstances. and in accom
plishing this object. it does not appear that any
unnecessary violence was resoriedto. We are
bound by treaty only to deliver up Spanish sub-
jects and property. lThese negroes are neither.
They are Africans; and have been cast upon
our shores, under Providence, that they may
‘be protrc°ted,'—not betrayed"; and we imu_sl pro-
lect"lhem.” ' ,
Rrvzsuirrrion IN PHILADELPHIA.-The N.
"Y. Express of Monday says the news from
Pliilatlelphia is of such a cltaracter as toleav e
no doubtof the success ofthe resumption. No in-
telligent. man therg. now hasthe least doubt that
the U. S. Bank will pass through the crisis in
triumph. ' ' '
On Friday about $700,000 in specie were
drawn lrom all the Philadelphia Banks. and on
Saturday about $60.000—riearly all of which
was by brokers, principallyin New York. The
run was considered over, or nearly so. What
principally settles the success of the resumption
in men’s minds is the news receivcdin Phila-
delphia by the last packet from Europe. of the

—Tlte jury has given the pluintifls in.tlie case
a verdict of $12,085’ 40.
Governor of ]lIaz'n.—-'I‘he Augusta Cor-
respondent ofthe Portland Advertiser writes:
"The Committee on the Gubernatorial
votes have been busily engaged yesterday
and to day, examining the Returns. I un-
derstand there is no choice of Governor by
the People. If all the votes are counted as
returned—Kent leads Fairficld a few votes
—but there are about one hundred scatter-
people, if all the Returns are decided to be
legal by the Legislature."
If there is no choice by the People. in com-
pliance with the provision of the Constitution.
the Governor will be elected by the Legislature
from the four highest candidates. If the elec-'
tloti devolves on the Legislature, Edward Kent
will be elected,,a_nd it is therefore ‘certain that
-.\l r. Kent will be the next Governoro f'.\'Iaine.

Edward Kent was elected Governor of Maine
on Tuesday oflast week, in the senate of that
state. He received 16. votes. and Fuirfield 8.
THE BOUNDARY TRUUBLES.
The British have sent a Military force to Mad-
awaska. tltere is no longer a'donbt about it.—
The following official notification from the Gov-
ernor of New-Brunswick to the Gov. of Maine
states the reason for this movement. It was
communicated to the Senate ofMaine by Gov.
Faitfield on Thursday oflast week. ‘
GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
Fredrickton, N. B. Dec I0. 1840.3
SIR: As your Excellency will doubtlessabe
informed thata detachment of Her Majesty's
troops has lately arrived in the Madawaska
settlement. I deem it to consist with that frank-
ness by which I trust my itttercoutse with the
authorities of Maine has always been charac-
terized, to acquaint you that the movements in
uestion. made by order of the Governor Gen-
era] of these provinces, has no other object than
to give support to the civil authoritiestif that
settlement—'-one of whose magistrates. Francis
Rice. Esq. has been grossly insulted. threaten-
ed with personal violence,and obstructed in the
discharge of his duties by persons professing
themselves to be citizens of the State of Maine
—and another, James McLaughlin. Esq.. also
a magistrate of this province. and holding the
office of ‘warden of the territory.‘ has been
threatened by the person in charge ofthe armed
posse sta:ioned at 'Fish River.‘ with being ar-
rested and sent as a prisonerto Augusta. in the
event of his perseveriug in the performance of
the dutiesimposed upon him by the Govern-
ment ofthe Queen and that ofthis province.
Whether the assertion made, as I am assured.
by the person. that in ltoldingtbis language he
is only acting in accordance with his instruc-
tion. be correct or not,your Excellency will
best know—but refusing, as I have done. to be-
lieve that he can have received any authority
for a proceeding which I must regard as incon-l
sistent with existing engagements. I have not.
hesitated in expressing to the Governor Gener-
al my conviction that an armed civil posse.cor-
responding in amount and description with that
maintained by Maine, will be found quite ade-
quate to effect the object in view, viz., the pre-
vention of acts ofauthorized aggression or in-
terference. as regards the inhabitants or au'lior-
ities ofthe Madawaska settlement—and I have
accordingly no reason to doubt tltat, acting up-
on this suggestion. His Excellency will forth-
with give directions for the troops to be with-
drawn to their former stations.
I have the honor to be. with great consider-
ation, your Excellency’s most obedient servant.
J. H.-UIVEY.
His Excellency the Governor of the State of
Maine .
From the Boston Journal of Jlfonday.
More Trouble Down East—The Herald of
this mortiing states, on the authority ofa gentle-
man who arrived in this city late last evening,
from Mainenhat three gentlemen. whose names
are given as Thoirtas F. Templeton. George
Cody, and John H. Kenwick. while proceeding
on their way from Bangor to Canada. were
stopped near Madawaska by a party of armed
soldiers, who insultetl them. ‘Mr. Kady was
knocked down by a blow from a musket. Mr.
Templeton received a bayonet wound in the
shoulder, and Mr. Kenwick, trying to escape.
received abullet in hisytliigh. An officer then
came up and checked further hostilities.
. Ifthis statement is correct, the occiirretices
will not teud,to allay the excitement on the
subject ofthe North Eastern boundary.
Mr. Lewis Slauson,of New Canaan, butch-
ered ahog recently, that weighed 525 pounds.
This enormous porker was given to M r. S. aboti
a year-ago. when its weight was something less
than three pounds.
Sma.ll- Business.——In Congress, a large
number of boys are employed as pages, to
‘do the bidding ofthe members.’ They are
allowed 551 50 a day, or $10 50 a week.
Some years ago an attempt was made by a
member of Congress to obtainfor hisson
this kind ol employment-in the House ; but
he was deterred by a threat to expose such
meanness.-The impression was then prev-
alent. that members of Congress with $8 a
day might support their sons without further
aid from the Government ; and orphan boys
and sons of poor parents were employed.
But, at the last session, the notorious
Doctor Duncan brought on his son for the
purpose above referred to. and procured for
him it Messenger’s place in the Vice Presi-
dent’s room—-and he was paid at the end of
the session 8250 extra; or between 600 and
$700 for eight months services. And at
the commencement of the present session the
Doctor again brings on his son, to assist in
carrying of ‘the spoils.’
