FOR PRESIDENT,
HENRY CLAY.
Eon VICE PRESIDENT,
‘THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN.
FAin.—The ladies of VVilton have concluded to
hold their Fair on Wednesday, the 26111 inst.
Tut: FoL'it'ru.—VVe have been requested by
several of our citizens to inforrii the world at
large, that the approaching Anniversary of our
National Independence will be celebrated in this
place in great gusto.
LIBERTY POLE.—- We admit an article on

thy ofihe consideration of our citizens. There

will be but one line of action, atid that, a hearty
concurrence in the enterprise. Hand on your
subscriptions!
. . Ni~:w HAVISN, June 7. 1844.
Lt«:r;rsL.n‘URr-: AD.roUR.~ti-:i).—The Legislature ad-
jottrned this morning at abotit 10 o'clock. The ses-
sion has been a. laborious one, though it has not been
protracted beyond the usual tiiuc. A great aiiioiiiit
ofgood has been done; but if there be any coiii-
plaiiit, it will dottbtless be. that all asked for has not
been granted, rather than that too inticli has been
acconiplislied; an error upon the best side, ifoiie.
Another year and the work ofjusticc and reforina-
tion may be completed. ,
The session has been on the whole as liarinoiiiotis
as could have been anticipated, if we except ll bit of
rowdyisin which a few of the locos. headed by J. C.
Palmer, were guilty of last evening. Throtigh a
misiinderstandiiig on the part ofthose most interest-
ed from New Loitdou county. a few appointments
were tnade which were wholly uiisatisfaetory to the
\Vliigs of that county. An attempt, very natural
mid proper, was made to right the wrotig; and it
few of the locos who had been congratulating them-
selves upon their superior generalsliip, suddenly
found themselves abotit to be tiiiliorsed—but instead
ofsubuiitting quietly as they had done through the
session, and swallowing what they were obliged to
take, they adopted the tiiidiguified, tiiigentleinanly
course of rising from their seats and leaving the
hall. .
The object was to arrest the ftirther progress of
the public business, by leaving the House without a
QUORUM. But all the locos would not obey the
whistle of their leader, Mr Palmer, who, seeing their
contempt for his atitliority, put his head into the
door, and bawled otit "You h:ivii’t got a qtiortiin I"
This gentleniati, and those who followed him, see-
ing what an utter failure there had been of their
conspiracy, shrunk back to their seats in shaine.—
This morning. the same faction opposed a resolution
ofthanks to the able and truly itiipzirtial Speaker,
Mr. McCurdy; but they were rebuked again by a
decided expression oftlie House. there being only
40 votes against the passage of the resolution.
The liigh-minded honorable character of Speaker
McCurdy. is well known throughout the State, for
he has been repeatedly tried as the presiding‘ oliicer
of the House ofReprcscutativcs, and he has as often
been applauded both by friends aiidfoes l'orth_e inatt-
net in which he has discharged the duties of the dig-
nified and responsible station.
In the other branch of the Legislature, matters
have proceeded very qt1ietly—thc opposition being
too small in all respects to attract riiucli notice or to
impede the progress of Legislatioii. The leader a-
mong our opponents there, wits Mr. Billings ofNew
London, a very courteous and well disposed gentle-
man. and not naturally a locofoco. Another Sena-
tor. on the saute side. who was next in importance
to Mr. Billings. was Mr. Smith of Middletown.—
Unlike his friend Mr. \Vood, of the 20th District, he
knew when to speak and when to keep silent.
Among the Whigs there were several gentle-
men of strong minds and uiticli experience in
Jegislatioii. \Ve ofii-.r no tlisparagement to
others in speaking particularly of the invalua
ble services of Mr. Osborne, of the 10 District.
the chairman of the judiciary committee. I-lis
labors have been very arduous; and we learn
that they have been most satisfactorily perform-
ed.
His Honor Lieut. Gov. Booth. the presiding
officer ofthc Scnatedcaves our midst with many
new friends. and we presume with confidence
to say, no enemies. He has shown himself in
all respects, a gentleman. His frank yet kind
and courteous deportmerit out oftlie chair. and
the abilitbty protnptiiudc and impartiality which
he displayed in the discharge ofits duties, won
forhirn the respect and esteem of many wl.o
saw [fun for the first time during the present
session oftlie leaislattire. Gov. Bootli’s licalth
has been very poor for some months past, bi.t
we rejoice to say that lie is recovering though it
be but slo\vly.—-.New I-Ia-can Pallarliuvn.
Loco C0\‘Vl£N'l‘lON—CLOSll\'G SCENE.-As
snon as the vote for the adjournment of the
Convention had passed, Mr. McGiutiiss. one ol
the delegates from Missouri, took the cliairjiisi
vacated by the PresiJeut,aud addressed the
Convention as follows:
“I have sought at various times to address
the Convention for the purpose of expressing
my opinion upon the course it has adopted-—
butl have been rudely and tincivilly denied
the exercise of my rights as one of its meni-
berg, I have, therefore, no resort left except
to take this opportunity of proclaiuiiug thatl
bear no part in the responsibility of What It
has done. It has couiirtitted a gross fraud-
a {mud upon the D8fll0Cf51IlC.pflfly—-3lfallll
upon the country. [go against it—Missou-
ri will go against it—l denounce it. llmow
that it is useless to spend more bl‘t’atl‘l upon
the subject here, but the people will see it,
and treat it as it deserves to be treated.”
DAGUEROTYPE Lii{i\'EssEs.——Messrs. Pun-
derson 65 Carey. at the Norwalk Hptel, are ta-
king souie superb liknesses ofour citizens. No
one who takes the trouble to examine the speci-
mens which tliey exhibit, can fail ofthe conclu-
sion that they are masters of their profession.
There is no extravagance in saying that the
work they have executed during their sojourn.
is equal to the highest attainments of the art.-—-
They invite the public to call and judge for
themselves
For the Norwallc Gazette.
Mu. Enrroit :—As some action is now being
taken on the subject ofcelebrating the coming
_ anniversary of our National Independence, in
this town. I think it a very proper time to pre-
sent the idea of erecting at Liberty Pole_ on our
beautiful Green, for certainly nothing is more
needed to cap the climax ofour village Spllll of
internal improvement, and nothing could so ap-
propriately embelish the Green. as a tall Flag
Stall‘. The citizens ofNonvalk have too long
neglected thisthing. If we go to New Canaan.
silver Mine,'or even any place in our State.
where thetle arethree houses and a barn, you
will inv,a'i'ibly see a tall and sightly pole caped
wit use insignia of Liberty “rearing its head
‘to(£bavcn.” We have a splendid Flag, but
_ o where to place it, unless it be on a bean pole
and that stuck on the cupalo of the old Town
House. presenting the appearance of ti garter
'tied'to the steeple of a bird cage. An elegant
2!.
‘pole could be erected at a very trifling expense
and most ofour citizens would gladly coiitrib-
ute tor such an object. All that is wanting
then is, for some orour tsamsons,’ to setthe ball
in motion, and it is to be hoped that this thing
will be accomplished in time for the contempla-
ted celebration. AGITATO.

The loco focus of New Haven fired it. salute
on Tuesday evening of last week, it is said to
express the joy of the party, not only that Mr-
Van Buren had been consigned by his friends
to oblivion. but that they had finally succeeded
in obtaining a candidate for Vice President who
would stand the nomination. The only effect
produced by their firing, says the Palladiurri,
was the frightening of a horse, attached to a
bread cart. by which means the cart and driver
were capsized, and the bread and cakes were
scattered over the street. A by stander re-
marked that the loeos had accomplished their
main object.—the distribution of “the loaves,”
and that all that remaiuetli for them to do, was
to get “the fishes.”

Mr. Niles venture-d to vote with the ultra free

much in regard to the Tariff, will not pttt this vote
down to insanity.

Mr. Coffin enjoys a high reputation as a thor-
oiigh and cffieieiit instructor. and from our
acrpiaititance with liitii sitice he took charge of
this Academy, we feel that it. is justly merited.
Professor Olmsteatl ofNew Haven. in speaking
of his merits as a tericlier, says‘. “I should
esteem it highly auspicious to the causes of edit-
cation,ifall our High Schools were under similar
direction." He is highly recomrrierided by
various members of the faculty of Amherst and
Williams Colleges; oftlie formerofwhicli he is
a graduate, and was for several years a tiietnber
ofthe faculty ofthe latter. Thefollowing is from
Rev. Joseph Alden. D. D. Professor of Rhetoric
and Political Economy in \Villiams College.
“James H. Coffin has had tnatiy years of
successful experience in teaching the Latin,
Greek and French Languages, and the Mathe-
matics. For the. last three years he has been a
very valuable oflicer in this College. His ai-
tainments in science are very rate. There are
few Professors in otir Colleges equal to him in
Mathematics and Astronomy. Ilis perfect up-
rightncss of character. Hts < kind temper, his
untiring fidelity, and indefatigable industry and
perseverance render him peculiarly qualified to
lake cqarge ofa literary institution, while his
reputation with scientific men would confer
honor upon it. He has talents for the details of
instruction and government, and for original in-
vestigation in science. lt is seldom that an
Academy has an opportunity of securing the
services ofa titan of his talents, character and
scientific acquirements.”
'l‘estimonials ofa similar import are furnished
by the President and other Professors; also by
Professor Einmons, State Geologist. Albany.
N. York; Professor C. S. Henry, New York
University ; Professor J. Henry. Princeton Col-
lege, N. J. and from numerous patrons at Green-
field, Mass. and Ogdetisburg, N. Y. ttliere lie
formerly had charge of academies. Gerard
Hallock, Esq. editor ofthe Journal ofCommerce
in New York city. After remarking that he is
intimately acquainted with M r. Coffiu, says “he
is a first rate classical scholar and mathemati-
cian—his character is excellent, and withal he
has an uncommon faculty of managing youth
without resorting to severity."
Underthe care of an instructor so able and
so etniuent in his profession, the Trustees feel
confident that the Academy will stand among
the first in New England. The building will
be improved and the accoriimodations enlarged
the coming spring. atid it is believed that the
Institution will lie found in all respects worthr
of the patronage of those who wish fortheir
children a thorough education.
