From the New Haven Palladium. To THE wares or CONNECTICUT- After an arduous struggle of twelve years against Executive usurpation and misrule, backed by the whole power and patronage of the Federal Government-—after warring against experiments and expedients. broken promises, and unbounded profligacy, corrup- tion and extravagance, with all the attendant =evils ofderanged currency. disordered W5“ ness anddejpreciated public morals, the Peo- ple ofthis country in November last achiev- ed a glorious victory in the election of the revered HARRISON to the highest office in their gift. When this great an _ result was accomplished we had a Tlglll to expect that ALL the reforms for which we had so long contended would be fully carried o’ut,—and that they would have_been but for the mysterious Providence which remoyed from us the upright, honest Chief when just elected, there can be no doubt. But notwithstanding the heavy bereave- ment sustained by the People in the decease of the President of their choice. and the” disappointment in not seeing all oftheirchei‘- ished purposes of reform sustained b)’ hls successor, yet this long struggle has been well repaid by what has already been done. In the first place the man who had so far departed from the spirit of our republican institutions as to bring the full force and pat- ronage of the Government to sustain him in his assumptions of power. hits been l1l”‘l9d from the post in which he had so cprruptly entrenched himselfand sent into retirement; and a rebuke has thtis been pronounced by the People upon electioneering Presidents which will not soon be forgotten. In the next place, the most cunningly devised scheme ever invented by a corrupt govern- ment for stealing upon the liberties of a court- try—securing power and wealth tothose in office, and impoverishing the great mass of the People—the Sub T-reasury/—-has been repealed. _ Again, that measure ofjustice to the older States so long contended for by the VVhigs-- the distribution of the proceeds of the Pub- lic Lands-—has become a law; and when once its beneficial effects shall be felt by the people of the several States, not even those arch demagogues Benton and Calhoun, will hardly dare to move for its repeal.‘ Other and important measures have also been ac- complished, which were they not so much eclipsed by those before alluded to, would be regarded as a full reward for much labor and toil. But whilst the people have obtained much for which they have contended, th-cg have not yet secured all which they had a right to expect. \Ve have been greatly, bitterly disappoint- ed in not obtaining an Agent, which whilst it provided a safe depository for the public moneys, and for their cheap, and convenient, and safe collection, transmission & disburse- ment. would at the same time regulate do- mestic exchanges‘ and place the currency at business of the country upon a firm and steady foundation. This is a measure of no trifling importance. Upon its adoption de- pends not only the re-establishment and con- tinuance of prosperity to our manufacturers and merchants engaged with distant sections , of the Union, but all other branches of busi- ness, agricultural and mechanical most enjoy permanent prosperity. or not, as this agent shall or shall not be provided. Another measure of reform which we had a right to expect has as yet been carried out but in part—namely, the removal from office ofthose who were appointed or contin- ued in their places by the late administration for their entire devotion to its interests, and their active exertions as electioneerers in its behalf. Many; of these men, who neglected the appropriate duties oftheir office, and spent their time in the political service of their master, still hold the office which they have abused. Public Justice demands that they should be removed, and until they are the reform in this particular will not be coni- plete. And now, what should be done to finish up the work and obtain ALL that we have contended for ? Manifestly we must contin- ue our organization and take measures to maintain our ascendency in the National at State Governinents. If under the adminis- tration of Mr. Tyler these reforms are obtain- ed,then all will be well. If not we shallbe prepared to go on shoulder to shoulder, at the close of his term and put one into the chair of State who will finish up what he has left undone, and give prosperity and re- pose to the country. If however, we should now relax our exertion and allow our oppo- nents to regain the ascendency, whilst Mr. Tyler goes on in opposition to the measures yet incomplete, we shall not be in a situation at the close of his term to elect one who will be true to our principles. but on the contrary some Benton or Calhoun would be elected by our opponents who would of course undo much that has been accomplished——render hopeless the triumph of reform, and blast, erhaps forever, the hopes ofthe patriot. The lVhigs' of Connecticut must, as their part of duty, come up to the. work in future, with the same zeal and spirit as in years past. From the Hartford Couranl. The Address lately issued by our State Central Committee, is not only well received by those to whom it was addressed, but is looked upon by‘ our friends out of the State as just the thing for the times.

The course of action which it recommends is the only course which will keep the Whig party united and enable them to act for the puplic good- We hope to see the spirit ofthis document carried out at the town meetings which are soon to be held in this State.

Calhoun was fifty years in advance of any man in the Union ” We could add many facts incorroboration of this expose of M_r. Upshur’s politfcs, but need we? Yet this same Judge Upshur is the most trusted.ad- viser of John Tyler, and the master spirit of the new Cabinet.-,—- Tribune. Forn correct portrait of Judge Upshur, I refer to a nomination of him for the Senate ofthe United States, written evidently by one familiar with his opinions and principles, and published iln the Riclimondgwhig of the 2d of March ast. To what‘ is there said, I will take the lib- ertv of’ adding, that Judge Uupshur was among the earliest Whigs in the coiintry.— He was among the first to take alarm at excesses ofGen. Jackson and among the fore- niost to denounce them. He warred indig- nantly against the Removal of the Depositvs. the Protest, Expunging, the Jacobin doctrines of Dallass and Ingcrsoll, the l\'ew. Jersey outrage, and the general course of the last and the preceding administrations. And it is well known to your readers that he sus- tained with ardor and unsurpassed ability. the election of Gen. Harrison. He has in- dec-d,been uniformly a Whig, and such, I entertain not a doubt, he will continue to be. giving Whig counsels, by his publicconduct as by his personal influence sustaining whig principles. That his will be (1 model adminis- tration of the Navy Department, cannot be doubted by these who know his chivalric character and exalted talents. The Ifelrlerberg I-Va7.—'l‘he difficulties in this matter seem to have arisen from these circumstances. A large tract of land on each side of the Hurlson, descended to the Van Rensselaer family by strict entail, until after the Revolution. The feudal tenure by which the occupants hold the land co-nlinuesiand consistol a fixed annual rent, coirimonly pay- able in kind——as grain, fowls, hay, &c. with the right on the part of the pzitroon to a quar- ter of the purchase money when the tenant chooses to sell. - The late patroon refrained from collecting the rent from unfortunate tenants until lairge arrearagcs become due. At the time ofhis death, he, by will, charged his estate with a certain debt, and appointed trustees to collect the arrearages and with them to pay the debt. They were, however, to use a proper discrimination between the poor and those who were able to pay. The only power which the present patroon possesses is to compromise with the tenants respecting the tenure by which they will in future hold the lands. For this purpose be has offered to give a quit-claim of the right for a moderate sum and thus settle the con- troversy: but the tenants being persuaded that they have a right to hold the lands with out the payment of rent, have refused this offer. And the authority of the State is call- ed upon to execute warrants of distress for the rents unquestionably due.——J. of Com From the New Orleans Bee. We have taken the trouble to compare the mortality of the present summer with that of 1839 and l837—both seasons in which the yellow fever raged with uncom- mon violence. The weekly number ofdeaths thus far exceeds nearly a third. that of I839 and is "greater than that of 1837, if we con- sider the paucity ofthe non-resident popula- tion. At the worst period of the epidemic of l839 the bills of mortality did not exhibit more than ‘.89 deaths per week. The last weekly statement for this year shows a inor- tality of 245, and the list for this week will more probably demonstrate an increase of 40 or 50 more. It is moreover universally admitted by medical men that the fever is far more intractible than usual. The remedial agents that have lormaly proved so success- ful, are inert and inefficacious. The Veto-——Burni72g in Efligy.-The burn- ing of Mr. Tyler, in effigy, took place in various parts of the country, upon the recep- tion of the news of the veto‘. Violent pro- ceedings, of this character, are calculated ‘more than anything else, to bring Republi- can institutions into ridicule and contempt, and those who engigein’ acts degrading to their country, certainly cannot, and ought not to be ranked with their country’s friends. The framers of our constitution and laws, have provided a different remedy for the punishment of the public oflender. The ballot box is the tribunal which they estab- lished for purposes ofthis nature; and when a people cease to respect the institutions of their country, they are ripe for “treason, stratagems, and spoils."—Mississippian. Frontier Maltcrs.—One part of the busi- ness ofthe “sympat'nizers” appears to be, to get up false reports of outrages on the fron- tier, with a view to create excitement and ill- blood. It is now said that there is no found- ation for the story of an attempt having been made to blow up the British government steamers Minos and Toronto off Chippewa, --nor for the report that a British steamer land harbor, and fired into bv Capt. Knapp, commanding a U. S. revenueicutter. There are however some real causes of excitement, of recent origin, not the least of which is the abduction of Col. Grogan from Alhurgh, Vt. A call for it public meeting (to tal,-e place on the evening of the 27th) in relation to the affiiir, was issued at Burlington on the 24th, signed by 11 large numbe; of the cittzens. . I ' , was discovered taking soundings in Cleav- , *1‘: #;j ‘E ‘*“‘j _._* Forcible seizure and abductituof Col. Grogan.——lt appears that the Citizensof St. Albans, Vt., held meetings on the-21st and 22d ult.,-‘ to in ike arrangments for collecting thetestimony in regard to this‘ transaction. and to lay it before the Governor of Vermont and the Chief Magistrate ofthe United States. At theineeting ofthe 22d, affidavits were read giving a particular account of the seizure of Grogan. They have since been forwarded to the Governor-and to Washington. The St. Albans Messenger gives the following summary ofthe contents. It appears from one of the affidavits, that on the 19th ult., there were present at the tavern of J. M. Slowles, at Alburg, a short distance this side the line, sundry persons in Canada, in company with James W. Grogan, and among the rest a dragoon, who urged Grogan to drink. and was particularly atten- tive to him, so much so that his courtesies, became suspicious. These suspicions were communicated to Grogan,and he was advised that a plan was afoot to kidnap him, and to transport him to Canada. Grogan finally followed the friendly advice given him, went to Alburg City, so called, and afterwards went to pass the night at the house of Mr. William Brown, his brother-in-law, who re- sides about 3 miles from the boundary line. From the aflidavit of another, it appears that William Brown and his wife were awak- r-ned about two o’clock in the morning of Monday, the 20th of Sept., by a noise occa- sioned by the breaking open. and thy forcible entrance ofa g:mg‘of‘armed men into their dwelling. This gang consisting of fifteen or more, were in the uniform of British soldiers and, as could be seen by the lantern they ca r- ried, fully armed. Mr. Brown sprang from the bed, on perceiving the intruders, and was met at the doorof his sleeping room by a British ruffian, who presented his gun and bayonet. and ordered him to remain quit-t.—— Mr. Brown called aloud to his two sons, who were sleeping above, and was threatened by the soldier, that he would certainly be shot unless he tlesisted from speaking. The re- mainder ofthis gang rushed into the adjoin- ing room, where Col. Grogan was sleeping crying out as they entered, ‘Here he is l’—— ‘Herc he is !’-—‘Shoot him l—blow his brains out! They seizt-d him, and dragged him from his bed, and carried him by force through the house, and conveyed him to the road, vv here were vr.-hicle_s in readiness to take him across the line. Mr. Brown testifics that he was apparently strangled so that he could neither speak or even make a show of resist- ance. It appears from another flying affida- vit that the son of \Vm. Brown came down at his father's call. as soon as he could put his clothes on, and was met by one oflhe British dragoons-‘—an Irishman, as he thought—who cocked his gun, and ordered him to return, or he would shoot him. Soon after they had gone off with Grogan, young Mr. Brown discovered a d rah-colored hat, a British bay- onet, and a cotton handkerchief, which they had dropped in the hurry of their proceedings. Soon after d'a_i,ligl1t, a British drugoon was seen ridingtowards the house of Mr. Brown, apparently in search of the articles which the rullians had accidentally lost, as soon as he was discovered, he ran his horse back to Her Majesty's dominions. From another affidavit, it appears that a gentleman going from Clarcnceville to Mis sisquoi Bay, overtook a wagon, in which tv-as James \V. Grogan, four armed soldiers and a driver, and four mounted dragoons, riding and lreeping guard by the wagon. Upon their arrival at the Bay, Grogan remained in the wagon surrounded by a strong guard in front of the guard house, for about a quar- ter ofan hour; after which he was ordered into the guard house, and from thence was taken to Montreal. Grogan appeared badly wounded and lJI'lllSt’(l——l')lS face very much disfigured, and it was with great difficulty he could walk or step. The party thntbrouglit him to the guard house from Alburg, was formally dismissed in true military style, by :1 Sergeant of Light Dragoons in her Majes- ty’s service. Upon the correctness of these facts no doubt need be entertained. From the Portland fllirror. The Oregon Mission.--llIr.

The Abolitionists of Connecticut held a State Convention in this city a few days ago for the purpose of political organiz.ifion.— ‘The Liberty Party.’ is the new name they have chosen. They passed a number of res- olutions—ainong them one requesting the President of the United States to emancipate his slaves. They made arrangements to employ an agent in promoting political abo- lition,—and nominated the following ticket for Suite Officers: Francis Gillette, of Bloom field, for Gov. ernor. - Levi Yale 2d. of Meriden, for Lieut. Gov- ernor. John C. Lewis, of Plymouth, for Secretary. Samuel Deming, of Farinington,for Treas- urer.

The President admits that there is a virtual dissolution ofthe Union, for all coin- inercial purposes, while exchanges are from one to ten per cent. between the States coin- posing the Confederacy, and his inipd is anxiously devoted to apply the corrective in any mode consistent with his constitutional scfuples. The threatened outbreak on our borders, evidence the importance of Mr. Webster’s being retained in the Cabinet._ The confi- dence reposed in his wise, judicious and poli- tic course, is manifested by the recent de- bates in the British Parliament.

I-IOBBIE. Acting Postmaster General. Sm : lnforination having been received in a form entitled to attention that the Post- master at * ** * *, Pennsylvania, and * * * “' * * *, Ohio, have so far violated the obli- gations which they impliedly assumed on taking office under my Administration, of abstaining from any active partisanship, or in any wayconnectingtheir offices with par- ty purposes, I have to l'9ql]t‘-Sl. that inquiries shall be instantly instituted into their conduct and that ifthe churgesagainstthem be found to be true, they be iinniediately turned out of office, and citizens appointed in their places who will otherwise conduct themselves. The Post Office Department, in all its op- erations, should be conducted for the single purpose of accomplishing the important ob- jects for which it was established. Itshould in an especial manner, so far as is practica- ble, be disconnected from party politics. It was established for specified purposes of equal importance to every citizen. To convert it into an engine of party, to be used for party purposes, is to make it the fruitful source of the most alarming evils. Ramified as it is, and extended to every neighborhood, the pn- rity ofits administration, and necessarily of its agents, should be particularly guarded. -—-For a Deputy Postmaster to use his franking privilege (a privilege bestowed up- on him for the sole purpose of exonerating him from oppressive charges in the necessa- ry correspondence of his office) in scattering over the country pamphlets, newspapers,and proceedings to influence elections, is to out- rage all propriety and must not for a day be tolerated. Let this be left to the politicians. 1 should be happy if one or two examples shall be found sufficient to correct an evil which has so extensively prevailed I will take this occasion, also to add for your instruction , that the appointment to, and continuance in the office of Postmaster of any one editing a political newspaper is in the highest degree objectionable. It in- volves most ofthe conseqences above stated——- introduces politics into the Post office-—dim- inishvs the revenue-—-and confers privileges on one editor which all cannot enjoy. In a word, it is my fixed purpose, as for as in me llf'S, to seperate the Post Office Department from politics, and bring about that reform which the country has so loudly demanded. Joriiv TYLER.

The Steam Poo/rets.——New arrangements are to he made in the running of the Royal Mail Steamships between Liverpool and Boston, for the approaching winter. Last year the ships only made one passage each way in the months of November, Decem- ber, January and February.

One ship only \vill_leave England during the riionths of December, January. February, and March. The pro- prietors ofthc Royal Mail Steam Packet.- have entered into a new contract with the Admiralty, by which the Royal Mail is to leave England and theU States once a week, or 4 times a month, for the additional compensation (as reported) of eighty thou- sand pounds per annurn.
