power to an extent that has well nigh swal-
lowed up and corzcenlmlecl all the powers of
the.Government in his. hands.
Resolved, T-hat we are in favor of such
anexercise ofthe Ececutive power as shall
carry out the. principle laid down by Mr.
Jefferson, that the active interference. of pub-
lic officers in elections, forms a just ground
of removal—thereby rcbuking the 72a'rt_7/
o tcerand substitutingthe principle ofpalrzl
olism for that of port‘?/fea.ll_r/.
Resolved, That we cordially invite those
of our fellow citizens who have honestly
supported Mr. Van Burcn, to unite with us
in support of Gen. Harrison, and give his
Administration a fairtrial—-respectfullysug-
gesting to them, whether it will not be time
enough to oppose his administration when
it shall ltave been proved not to conduce to
the honor and welfare of the'nation.
Resolved, That the act of Congress in re-
lation to the collection, keeping and disburse-
ment of the public money, approved on the
4th ofJuly last, commonly denominated the
Sub T'rea.su.rg/ act, was uncalled for by the
People and is against the genius of our free
institutions. and should forthwith be repealed.
Resolved, That for the interest of the
whole cotmnunity as well as for the purposes
of the Treasury, it is essential that the Na-
tion should possess a currency of uniform
value, credit and use wherever it may circu-
l:tte—that the Constitution has entrusted’C‘on-
gross exclusively with the power creating and
regal tting a currency of this description-
and that measures should be taken by Con-
gress, in execution of this p0w.et‘, to relieve
the country frotn the evils and embarrass-
tnents ofthe present deranged condition of
the currency, by establishing one equally
useful to the People and to the'Government,
ofuniform value and credit in every State in
the Union.
Resolverl, That we deeply regret that any
one entrusted to represent Connecticut in-
the Councils ofthe Nation. should have up
posed the plan ofthe Hon. Henry Clay for
the equitable (llstI‘ll)t1ti0n of the proceeds of
the Public Lands amongst the several Sta-
tcs,—-a measure so manifestly just and prop-
er, that we are persuaded it would receive
as it deserves the almost unanimous support
of the people ofthe older States. were it not
for the overpowering influence-of party spirit
which would sacrifice and trample upon
right to promote party €’l'lI'.lS.
Rcsol-ucrl. That we deem it more in accordance
with the spirit of our institutions, and the wish-
es ofthe people. that the revenue to meet the
wants of the Government be collected from
iintpostduttes rather than by taxation-—and that
the best interests ofour whole country demands.
that. in laying the duties upon lmD0r‘alit)ns,
such a disc riminatiou should be made as will
protect tlte manufactures and agricultural pro-
ducts of our citizens. .
Resolved. That in the opinion ttfiillls Conven-
tion. whenever such protection has been of’fhrd-
ed. the competition bet ween the American Man-
ufacturers has invariably enabled the public to
procure fetter articles" and for less price. than
when they were dependant upon the workshops
of Europe.
Resolved, That it is incumbent upon Connec-
ticut to speak loudly in support of the new Ad-
ministration in April next, because her election
will he the first"held by any Whig State since
the Presidential election—she occupying the
same position now as last year, when her voice
was the first raised in sttpporl ol'the\Vhig nom-
ination with _such cheering and happy effect
upon the \Vhigs of the Union.
The second series of resolutions were next
taken up and discussed bythe mover, and Mr.
Bacon of Litchfield, Mr. Tyler ofBrooklyn,and
l\tIr. Partleefof New Haven, most of whom con-
sidered the resolutions, excepting only one of
them. as referring to topics already embodied in
-the resolutions which had passed. It was
then moved and carried, that all the resolutions,
butthe one referred to be indefinitely pospon-
ed. The following is the resolution as passed:
Resolved, That in the opinion ofthis Con-
vention, imprisontnent for debt is not con-
sistent with the theory of our government,
or the rights of the community.
On motion the follotving resolutions were
assed: '
Resolved That the next State Convention
he called at Hartford, at such a titne as the
State Committee may deem proper.
Resolved. That the State Central Com-
mittee -be entpowered to fill any vacancies
that may occur in the various County Com-
mittees. ..

Mom: STEAM Bozvr Anusx~:s.—-On Monday
last a second edition of the game played offby
Capt. Brooks on 40 or 50 passenges at the Old
VVell, was enacted by Capt. Peck. It is said.
however, that Capt. P. gave notice on Saturday
that he should stop at the point. If this was
indeed the case, it perhaps mitigates the offence,
but the conclusion is inevitable, that if public
accommorlation was a matter of any importance
Capt. Peck, would’ not have hesitated, under
rhe circumstances, to run his boat to the Old
Well., The number ofpassengers left this time,
we are fold, was between 25 and 3.0.
. At it meeting held at New Canaan on the
19th of February. 1341, to take into considera-
tion theinconvt-niences and extortions practiced
byithe Steam Boat Cotnpanies which ply be
tween Bridgeport and New York, and the inter.
pie-diate places, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted: .
Whereasthe people of this town have for
5"m° Years felled "lion Steam Boat conveyance
front Norwallt to the city of New York, and
have so arranged their business as to depend
upon suclt conveyance. and xx homes the pres-
ent companies appear to entirely (llSl‘€,t_‘ziI'(l the
intercsts'offrcigltters and travelers in this quar-
ter and seem to have arranged their affairs with
entire reference to the accotumotlatiott and in-
terest of a rail road corporation at Bridgeport,
and by charging the most exorbitant prices for
freight and passage, and by landing freight and
passengers at rctttote and inconvenient places,
have thereby forfeited the confidence ofthe public
Therefore
Resolved 1st. That we will no longer submit
to the, extortions practiced by the prt-t-cut .-tcani
boat companies, but will discountcnance and
withtlraw all patronage from thetn as soon as
relief can be obtained from any otbersource.
Resolvcd,‘2d. That in the opinion of this
meeting. that 50 cents is a fair t:t=mpct'tsatiott
for passage from Norwalk to New York during
the spring, summer, and fall mouths, anti thal
freight should be charged at a reasonable rate—
and that we pledge ourselves that we will put-
ronize any good boat that will conform to these
conditions, against arty competition that may
altrmpt to break down such boat.
Resolved, 3d. Tltat in the opinion of this
meeting. freigltts should be charged at a uniform
rate during the year, but that during the winter
months, that passages may be rai--"ed a reasona-
ble sum, say 535 or -'30 cents, as will fairly com-
pensate for extra accorrutodation.
Resolved -lth. That in our opinion a boat
running from the hcadof navigation lll Norwalk
hn'l.)or cannot,be'made profitable for the owners
ofa boat, or accotttmotlating for the cnrnmttnity
at large, but that the place of lantlittg should be
at the Old \Vell, or some place \\ here it can
start at uniform hours convenient for the public-
Resolved 5th. That in the opinion of this
meeting, the hours of starting ftom New York
should be (5 or 7 o’clock iii the morning, and 1
or?. o'clock in the afternoon from Norwalk, but
that we. are willing to confortn to the feelings
and interests ofother places interested in similar
accommodations.
Resolved, 6th. That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Stamford Stntiuel
and Norwnlk Gazette.

names are hereunto annexed, agree and pledge
t)nrSelVt.‘S I0 use all our influence and give our
patronage to a boat which will confortn to the
spirit and ittltjetrls of these resolutions. and that

U. S. BANK &c.—It becomes rather an in-
terestin/g question at this time what will the
Legislature of Penn. do with the suspended U.
S. Bank. I They have, says the Journal of
Commerce. drawn _from the U. S. Bank, either
in the shayie of loans or bonus for her charter,
totltc amount of more than twelve millions of
dollars: and ifthere is any thing yet left of her,
they want that too. Site has a good deal more
to pay in the shape of bonus. ($100,000 a year)
and unless she staggers on further, it will be
lost to the State. I
Take it all in all, we presume the Legislature
will let her take her chance with the other
Banks, and that both site and they will be re-
lieved for a short period front the penalties of
thelaw againstsnspension. Forty days is spok-
en of as the period ofindulgence.
Hoax.--A story has recently been in circula-
tion, that the Falls of Niagara had assutned the
powers of locomotion, and in a sudden freak,
claped in company with Goat Island, anda
tavern, (what a trio that would be) which stood
just below the falls. Unfortunately for usynews
mongers the story is pronounced a. hoax.
The Norwalk Gazette labors under :1 ve-
ry curious mistake. The pnragt'aph upon
which it commented last week was not writ-.
ten at the request of Capt. Brooks, or ofany
Steam l3oatGcntlematt. We had had no con-
vers:-ttion with the Captain respecting the
t~.-.\'citetttent. which it seetnsfelt is at Norwalk.

e1‘. \Ve were not ready to believe that Capt.
Bt'ooks—-would disappoint ‘thirty_ or forty
passenuers,’ unless he were c‘o7npell(!(l to do
so. If you plt'-{tse i\lr.Gazctte. we ' yrresztme’
that the state ofthe tide had something to do
with the disappointment in question. Ve

VVe were requested to say that there is no

part of the County to travel upon the Rail

our paper of last week, perhaps you will
gather some new ideas respecting the ‘ ttnho-

the editor to believe that Capt. Brooks would

concerned, he is at liberty to indulge. Indeed,
