STATE C0l\'VEN'1‘l0N.-This body will as-
semble at Harsford this day (Wednesday.)
The towns generally in thisisection of the
state, we believe have chosen delegates. and
we hope to hear a good account ofthcm in the
way ofattendancc.
The delegates from this town are Benj. Isaacs.
. Esq. Eli B. Bennett, Stiles Curtis, and Thos.
C. Haoford.
\Vho the probable candidates are we are
wholly unable to say. VVc trttst a good ticket
will be made out. and that our friends will re-
spond to it in a hearty support. remembering
that a afull vote is a IVlrig victory.
'I‘Aurr-r COSVE!\"I‘t0N.--A movement. has
been made at the cast for :1 Tariff Convention
to be held in the city of Hartford on the 17th
inst. The interests ofour home industry. iris
thought. require. some public demonstration oy
its friends, and this call has been made. and
numerously signed, and published in the Harl-
ford,'Ncw Haven. and several other papers.-
Our delegates will have an opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone by attending the sit-
ting of this convention after they have fixed
upon the candidates for State Ofiicers.
Loco Foco STATE Co.\'vt-ztv-rro.\'.-—Tbis
hotly met at Hartford on \Vednestlny last. and
made out their ticket of candidates for State
Ofiicers. The procee:lings, so for as they have
transpired, were not of the most harmonious
character. The difficulty seems to have arisen
from the multiplicity ofexpcctants. there being
for the office of Governor, just a ‘Jaker’s dozen
of candidates. The forenoon was spent by fa-
milarising the " cattle" to the yoke. and tying
rails to prevcntthcir “turning,” die. In the
afternoon they were put to the draught, but it
was found impossible. even by the most expert
teamsters. to start them together.
For G’-ove'rnor—-C. F. Cleavcland, of Nor-
wich. received 104 votes--Isaac Taucey 59-.
S. lnghaut 31--J. Stew-art 2—Scattering 9
Total 203. '
Lieutenant Governor-—W. S. Hollabird. of
Wincltester, 103, fourth ballpt——N. A. Phelps
100—Scattering 2.
For Secretary of State-Noah A. Phelps, of
Mitlrlletown.
For Treasurer--Robinson S.
New Haven.
For Comptroller-Gideon Welles, of Hart‘-
ford.
Mr. Hinman. dissatisfiedthat he was not
placed a notch higher upon the ticket, declined
the nomination. and John L. \Vhite, Jr. was
elected to fill the vacancy. A
The Hartford Courier, informs us, that every
mother’s son upon this ticket, is a Lazr:_2/er.

on !—\Vc are requested by Messrs. Syms and
3rockiugton,, delegates from the New York
Wasltirtgttrn Temperance Benevolent Society,
to say that 70 signatures to the Total Abstinence
Pledge were obtained in the village of \Vestport
and 140 in \Vilt0n. at wlticli places they have
been lccluriitg. The number in this town that
had given in their names was about 175. Rathdr
a serious inroad into the ranks of the votaries of
Alcohol.
AI’POINTl\IEN'I'S.--The following gentlemen
have been nominated by the President. and
confirmed by the Senate, to the stations annex-
ed to their respective names.
‘Washington Irving, of New York Envoy
Extraordinary. and Minister Plenipotentiary to
tu.tin- ' '
I _, addy Thompson, of South Carolina. Envoy
E: raordiaary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
Mexico. I
I Wm. Blackford, of Virginia, to be Charge
d’ Affairs to New Grenada.
\Vm. H. Freeman, of Philadelphia, to be
Consul for the United States for the port of
Nenvitas, in the Island of Cuba, in the place‘
of John M. Baber. deceased.
The Miss Crogau whose clopement with one
Shinlcy a few days since caused so much ex-
citement in the City of New York. w\as from
I Pittsburgh, Va. The American of that city
says her family were deeply afflicted by the in-
telligence. She is the grand daughter ofJames
O'Hara, Esq. and is accounted the richast heir-
' ""“ess on the Continent; her estates being worth
between two and three millions of dollars.
I James N. Barker, First Comptroller of the
Treasury of the United States under Gen. Jack-
son, and~Mr. Van Buren. supercedctl by Gen.
Harrison, but restored by President Tyler on
the promotion of Mr. Forward from that post
i to the Secretaryship, was rejected by the Sea‘-
ate on Friday, by a party vote, 23 to 17.
Rumor I Rumor! l-It is rutnored that there
are to be more changes in the Cabinet, that
Hon. ‘Walter Forward is about resigning his
station in the ‘Treasury Department. and that
Hon. John C. Spencer is to succeed him, or
perhaps retire altogether.
I EXPI.OSl0N.—-The steamboat Citizen, former-
ly belonging to this place, but oflate employvd
as a tow boat at New York, burst her boiler on
Mondayrnorning. the 7th inst,, while lying at.
or going into the Screw Dock. near the foot of
Market street. The boat was much injured,
loosing almost her entire deck, bulwarks. dzc.
T_hc_only person injured on board, was the eu-
gineer, whose face and one of his hands were
severely burned. , A boy on board a schooner
lying alolugflside. "’.l|.'IlI,0 slightly hurt. The
boiler passed through the dock and fell over-
board. :The accident is attributed _to want of
sufficient water in the boiler. _ .
The boat belonged, we believe, to Munson
Hoyt, Esq.. ofthis place. g
Tun CALUM§Y.— The story of.\l r. VVebster's
improper familiarities with the wife of one of
the clerks ofthe State Department. was started
itt the Louisvill Journal—that paper having
lost certain public printing, this course was re-
sorted to, it is supposed, to gratify the malignity
of the editor. The slander has been re-
fttted by an affidavit from the Secretary of
State himself. accompanied by those ofall the
clerks ofthe Department. The story, without
contratliciton. is too improbable for belief.

no answer had been received. Kendall had
not reached Mexico. The following letter has
been received from him, however, dated
CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, Nov. 27,1841.
My Dear Friends: You have doubtless,
ere this, heard that your humble servant was
in what may be justly termed “a bad mus,"
but this is the first time I have had achancc
of letting you kno-.v it myself. ‘
On the 15th September last,aft.ersuffering
hardships almost incredible on the praries,
in way of starvatiott, &c. myself with four
others, were taken prisoners by adctachment
of Mexicans near San Miguel, New Mexico.
After a confinement of some five weeks at
San Miguel, a town some fifteen miles from
Santa Fe, I was taken and brought to this
city with near two hundred of the troops
(prisoners) attached to the Texan Santa Fe
expedition. To morrow or ncxtdayt we are
all to start for the city of Mexico, where
we shall probably arrive early in Feb-
l’tJt1l'y, and where l have the strongest
hopes of gaining my liberty once more soon
after my arrival. It appcrs a little singular.
does it not, that I, an individual perfectly
innocent,and with no wrong intentions tow-
ards this Government should thus be-made
a prisoner of and marched a distance of l800
or 2000 miles? but at present we are well
treated, and I have no reason to complain,
although my case is a peculiarly hard one.
One thing. however. I have gained by the
operation-health, and that of the best kind.
I verify believe were I to enter the-office in
my present condition, you would not know
me, I am stoutcr and heavi'er_tha_tt_ ,c_vcr..I'

I have not seen a paper nor heard a word .
from the United States since I left in lVIa_v

Although I have been in the world forthe
last sixvmonths, Ihave not been ofit.
My ankle has nearly recovered, and per-
haps you will think it time. So serious was
the ‘injury that for two months I was unabled
to put-my foot to the ground. A broken
leg would have been It mere scratch in com-

strong hopes ofprocuriug Kendall‘s liberation.

Mu. Bo'r'rs AND Juno»: Upsnun. -\Vc pub-
lished last week a notice of the denial of Mr.
Upshur oftbe charge of Mr. Bolts, that he was
a disuniunist.. Since that denial. Mr. Bolts has
come out in the National Intelligencer with
quotations from an article published in the
Southern Magazine, in Jan. 18-11, entitled
*‘ Revolution in Disguise," and attributed tr.-
thc pen ofthe Judge, He has also given let-
ters and statements from "several individuals,
which together make out a pretty strong case.
This tnust, think. elicit a rebntter from
Judge U.. and as the conzroversy will probably
excite considerable interest, we will give our
readers a few specimens of Mr. Butts‘ comruu‘
‘V’ B
nication.
The first is taken from a letter of Philip Har-
rison. Esq. of Richmond, Va.
“He said. in conversation not at all private
or confidential, that the Utrimr of (/18 States
sooner or later, -mu.-rt be (ZlSSOdI.‘L’(d,' /re be-
lieved it to be unavoidable, and. in his opin-
ion. t/re sooner it occu-rrcrl or was broz/,g/2-t
cLboat,t/ze bcttcrfor Virgirria t/re Soul/tern,
or slow /rotating States; that in the fortun-
lion ofthe Union, the Nor'tlrt~rn and Eeast
ern Stattcs had obtained great advantages
over the Southern; or, to use the Judge-'s
phrase, the. South. in the formation of the
Union, lttt-I made a bargain ; and that
the administration of the Government had
made it worse; that the policy of the Gov.
erument had produced the intpovcrishrucnt
and would ultimately ruin the Southern
States.”
A communication signed C‘. M. Braxton, and
which originally‘ appeared in the Ric-ltmond
\Vhig. is also given. from which we copy, as
IIJ.llU\"S :
' "Conversing with Judge Upshur some
years since, in the streets of Norfolk, on tho-
subject of nitllifir-ation, I said I consider the
doctrine ofnulliftcation rt heresy, dangerous
in this, that many persons v. ho had no ac-
cess to correct information would be led off
by the plausible ttrgttmertts by which it was
supported, for all have their file-lead-:rs. The
Judge said, I have do file-l.-atlo.-r. I rcpli-._

which we have not room, says, '
