OVERNOR BALDWIN'S WITHDBAWAL.
Thousands of Whigs .will learn with deep re-
[ret thatGov. Baldwin has determined not to
he considered a candidate for reelection to the
Gubernatorial chair. ' His wishes are thus early
made known, that his poliiial friends, soon to
assemble in Convention for the nomination of a
candidate, may be fully prepared for their re-
sponsible duty. ' '
New Hxvsn, November 24th 1845.
Gentlemen .é—- -
When 1 received and accepted the nom-
ination with which I was honored by the
Whig Convention of 184-3, there were
many considerations of a personal nature,
which caused me to hesitate, and to re-
gret that the choice of the convention had
not tallen .on another. But I did not con-
sider myself atliherty, in that important
crisis, to disregard thewishes of my polit-
ical friends, expressed in a manner so grat-
ifying;to my feelings, by declining any po-
sition, however responsible, which, in
their jtidgment, it was expedient for me to
occupy.
The same considerations which then
rendered it undesirable on my part that
my name should be presented as a candi-
date, still continue to operate with undi-
minished force, while those whichinduced
me to forgo my own inclinations, seem no
longer to exist. Though defeated in the
councils of the nation, the Whig party in
Connecticut is prosperous and united.
“As the time draws near for the choice
of delegates to the Convention to be held
on the 1-1-.th of January, for the nomina-
tion of State Officers, it is proper, there-
fore, that l should make known to you
at this time my desire to decline being a
candidate,for:reelection.
Deeply grateful to my fellow citizens
for the distinguished proofs of their con-
fidence with which I have been honored, I
need not assure you that in retiring from
the station I now occupy by their favor, I
shall not cease to cooperate with my po-
litical friends in all honorable measures to
promote the advancetnent and secure the
triumph of those great principles of policy
for which they are contending, and which! P3
believe to be, at this day,as essential to the
prosperity and hnppin'css,and true glory of
the people, as they were when proinulga-
tel by the Father of his Country and his
illustrious associates.
I am, Gentlemen, with great respect,
Your friend and fellow citizen,
Roman S. BALDWIN.

VVe were at Gaboon River" from July
31st to Aug. 7th. The French had taken
formal possession of the country, fromthe
Capes a long way up the river. They had
built a fort at King VVilliam Town, and
grisoned it with Goree men, but the‘ chiefs
at Glass Town had refused to comply with
their treaty, and would not acknowledge
the French authority. "
The French brig of war Tactique was
endeavoring to force King Glass to sub-
mission by bombarding the town. They
had fired into the church and the residence
of of Mr. Wilson, one of the American
missionaries, notwithstanding he had ‘hois-
ted the American flag - for protection.-
They continued to fire into his premises
until he hauled it down. The other mis-
sionary—-Mr. Bushnall—and his wife,
were so much alarmed at the hostility the
French seemed to manifest toward the
mission, that they requested a passage in
our brig, from the river to any other sta-
tion on the coast. We took them on
board, and put them ashore at Monrovia.
FROM AFRICA‘.
.Mr. Wilson and lady were also offered a
passage on board of us, but they refused
to abandon the mission and resolved at all
hazards to remain. They were no doubt
incarcerated in the fort as prisoners of
war immediately after we left.
Vlfe had no authority to interfere in the
matter, as Mr. Wilson had already declar-
ed himself under the protection of King
Glass. He had made himself very obnox-
ious by having used his influence, which is
considerable, with the chiefs and natives,
to oppose any encroachments of the
French. They accuse him likewise, and l
fear not without good grounds, of sedition
in drawing up a petition to Queen Victora
and the Parliament, asking for English in-
terference with any farther aggrandize-
ment of the French. \Ve left the river on
the 7th of August, and it was the intention
of the French to burn the town the follow-
ing day unless King Glass would come lo isaid she must burn them i that she fainted,‘

Flour and Potatoes.—Flour is decidedly
higher on this side of the Atlantic, than on
the other, and yet people talk of exporting
the article at a profit. Potifipes are also
higher here than in England, yet only last
week a packet took out A to Liverpool a
thousand bushels. The price varies here
from fifty to sixty cents, while potatoes
are selling in England at about half that
sum. The New York Express says that
the Patrick Henry from Liverpool has a
thousand bushels of potatoes on board,
which were bought in that city at 31 cents.
If there is a scarcity, or starvation any-
where, we should judge from the prices .
that it was in this country. Speculators
in Flour and Potatoes will certainly get
their fingers burnt, unless there is intelli-
gence of a great advance in bread stuffs
by the next steamer. _
Election of Town Oficers in Hartford.-
At our annual town election yesterday,the
whole number of votes polled was 900.-
As usual there was more or less scratch-
ing of the names in the regularly nomina
ted Whig ticket, but with twoor three ex-
ceptions the candidates received about
600 votes, and all of them are "elected.-’—
The locos must be greatly disappointed,
after all their exertions, at the smallness
of their vote.——Conrant;

‘Trial of Polly Boding.-.—Case abandon-
ing_ of the Court. on the 26th ult. argument
wasrheard on the reserved point whether
on a person being examined touching his
qualifications as a Juror, and he states his
belief that a murder was committed at
Staten Island, whether it is not necessary
also that he should say ‘he believes the-
prisoner to have committed the murder in
order to disqualify him.._ ,'i_'he Court held,
under the rule laid .down by Chief Justice
Marshall in Burr’s case, that the Juror was
disqualified without the latter clause. A
large number of persons were examined
as Jurors but no additional ones empanel-
led previous to recess.‘
At the evening session of VVednesday,
Mr. Graham, one of the counsel for pris-
oner, rose, and after remarks as to the
difficulty of obtaining a trial in this coun-
ty, proposed that the proceedings be ar-
rested and the jurors thus far empannelled
discharged. Mr. Clark, one of the coun-
sel for prosecution, coincided in the view,
and it was supported by Mr. Jordan.-—
Judge Edmonds gave a history of the ef-
fort at empanneling thus far, stated that
summoned as talesmen, and he had been
compelled to examine upwards of 4,000,
either touching excuses or their fitness as
jurors. He granted the motion.

The Late Outrage in Greene.—Johnson,
of Greene, Chenango county, who is now
under examination in Broome county, on
a charge of having abducted or murdered
Mrs. Boult, is nearly 70 years of age,and
estimated to be worth $70,000. It ap-
pears by the evidence already adducted,
that Johnson had on a certain occasion
criminal intercourse with Mrs. Boult, and
that to hide his guilt she_wns murdered or
abducted.
Mrs.-Burdiclr, who was taken from the
house where she lived in Greene, in Sept.
last, blind-folded, gagged, and carried to a
swamp, and there thrown into a ditch, (the
rticulars of which have he_retot'ore been
published.) was so much injured that she
became deranged—but she has now regain
ed her reason, and upon her testimony
the prosecution is mainly founded. She
has not as yet (we suppose) been sworn
on the examination, but she made an af-
fidavit before the warrant was issued, in
which, we are informed, she states that in
widow Baxter of Greene), in which John-
son said to Mrs. Baxter, if he could get
rid of Mrs. Johnson, he would ‘marry her
—that if he could dispose of her as easy
as he did of Mrs. Boult, he would do it—
that he knew a couple of fellows below
Bingliampton he thought he could get to
do it—that they disposed of Mrs. Boult.
That she (Mrs. Burdick) heard this con-
versation while standing on the door steps
to the house in Green, where her mother
lived ; that the curtains were drawn over
the windows to the house at this time;
that both outside doors were fastened ;
that she reached her hand inside and un-
buttoned one door and went into the house;
that Johnson then asked her if she had
heard what he hadjsaid ; that she- answer-
ed yes; that Johnson told herfiifshe ever
told of it he would kill her, or be the means
of her death : and that she then promise
him she would not tell ofit. (It is suppos-
ed that Mrs. Baxter will positively contra-
dict this "story on oath.)
VVe are told that Mrs. Burdick says,
about three weeks after this conversation.
Johnson came »to -her mother’s house
when she was alone, and inquired for her
mother, that she told him her mother had
not ot home from Norwich‘; that he said,
what shall I do’! that_slie asked him if he
had any work for her to do——any sewing’!
that he said no, but business of more im-
portance, and said she (Mrs. Burdick)
must do it for him, that she then attempted
to escape, that Johnson then seized an axe
and said he would kill her if she left the
room; that before he (Johnson) left he led
her into the i. it hen, tied her hands he-
hind her with a clothes line, and tied her
to a post, tied a bonnet over her face, and
then went out doors, and came back with
a flour bag partly lilled—-that he‘.then took
the bonnet from her face, untied her hands,
tied the cord round her waist long enough
so she could go to the fire while tied to the
bed-post; that he then toolra quantity of
human bones out of the bag, among which
was the head bones and others; that he
told her they were Mrs. Boult’s bones, and
that Johnson then burnt the bones—that
he held an axe over her head, made her
get on her knees, and said he was afraid
she would tell of it, and that he wasa mind
to kill her on the spot; that she begged
for her life, that he said he would destroy
her as he had Mrs. Boult, and burn her on
the spot ; that she begged for herlife, that
he said he would destroy her as he had
Mrs. Boult, and burn her up as she had
seen her bones burn, if she told of it;
that if he was hung he had friends that
would kill her, and that she knew it, as
she had just seen with her own eyes; that
he tlicn untied her and went away.
Mrs. Burdick further says she ‘told Prer
inother on the Saturday, and also on the
Sunday before her abduction, that she
would expose her and Mr. Johnson, and
that she did "not tell what she knew before
she was carried _ away. -
There are it great many rumors afloat
which we ‘shall not publish; and whether
M_rs..B-urdrck’ will swear on the ‘examin-
ation substantially as in her affidavit,’ and
whether she_ can be sustained we do not
know except from hearsay.
We shall not endorse the-
statement decidedly, but she-lél leave our
readers to form their own judigemcnt upon,
its truth or falsity. If the investigation
developes a different state of facts, we‘
‘shall ‘embrace the first opportnnit-y'to‘ cor-
rect errors and wrong impressions. ‘The
matter in its best aspect now, looks horrid
enough in all conscience. '

W ASHXNGION, Nov. 27th, 1845.
Today is Thanksgiving, and the city wears
the appeamuw of; Washington Sunday; that
is as near as any day in this C.tty ever does look
like Sunday. 1‘he members are congregated in
lthe hotels caucaising for Speaker, Door keeper.
9 etc. _
Several tner‘i‘rb'ers arrived to‘ day, and a num-
éber ‘of extra members—that is members of the
party who come on here to tell the Representa-
.tives of the people what to do; for it appears to
lbe a settled opinion that members are elected
‘only to be the tools of the lobbysystem;
Among other Delegations ofthis kind we have
~ one headed by Wil_son—McCandles of Pittsburg.
| \\ hen I just saw hirn,I supposed that . he had

lidaysburg Locofoco -.Tariff Coiivention,’ to _be

the ghost ofthat letter which made James K.
Polk a better Tariff man than Henry Clay.
But I understand that his visit is connected
with another matter ofmore importance to the
locofocos than a Tariff or any other principle-
that is ofiice. VVilson, with a number offriends
comes on to urge the appointment of Judge
Grier, of Pittsburg, to the vacancy on the Bench
of the Supreme Court of the United States. If
Buchanan is considered out of the way, Judge
G. will present strong claims for it.
Another ofthe arrivals to day is Henry Horn,
Collector of the port of Philadelphia. It is sus-
pected that there will be sometrouble about his

Loco Foco mean: was held soon after the nomi-
nation of Mr. Polk to denounce the juggle by
which that was eflected. Mr. Horn, it is said
was the leading man of that little knot of patri-
ots,and since his appointment twelve more of
the said twenty four have received ofiice under
him in place of some pure Democrats.
Whether Mr. Polk wislies to withdraw the
nomination of Mr. Horn, or whether he would
regret much his rejection by the Senate, rumor
saith not.
Gov. Porter of Pennsylvania is also among the‘
arrivals to day. I have no knowledge ofthe ob-
jects of his mission, and therefore he will par-‘
don me for saying nothing more about him.
Attorney G'eneral.lohn Van Bureu of Albany

It seems to be settled that Mr. Davis is to be
Speaker, and yet something tells me that he’
will not getit. He has been here long enough,
it is supp-.-sed, to bare ihething cut and dri'ed,to
save the Members the trouble of exercsing their
own judgments. Iain mistaken if some ofthe’

can have a better right to it than lather Ritchie.
If there was any Democracy in the Locofoco par-
ty, they woufd let the people ge: their work
done at the cheapest rate.
_ I hear thata good deal ofbad feeling has been
created agair'ist'Mr. Ritchie. on account ofa let-
ter which it is said has been found. which he
wrote sometime since, pledging hiniselfto go for

election as Printer, ifhis position is to be used to
crush th- Van Buren Wright interests in the
next campaign.
The discussions about the Spcakersliip and

the President's Message. I have no further

Mr. McClelland of Michigan, backed I under-

The Vlfashington Monument Society
has, we learn, decided upon commencing
the work upon the proposed Monument to
the Memory of Washington so soon as a
suitable site can be obtained in this city
for that" purpose. A very fine ‘design for
the Monument, prepared by- Mr. Robert
Mills, Architect, ofthis city, has been adop-
ted, and has been ordered to be lithograph-
ed and sold in aid of the funds of the So-
ciety.
The cost of the execution of this design
will not exceed two hundred ‘thousand
dollars; towards which the Society has
in hands upwards of fifty thousand dollars.

FIort'da.—Our advices from Florida this
evening, state that Mr. Cabell, who has
the certificateifor the seat in thel-louse of
Representatives, intends to come on and
claim under it; and that Mr- Brecken-
bough has given him notice of his inten-
tion to contest. Our friends in Tallahas-
see entertain no doubts of the ability of
the latter to prove that he received a ma-
jority of the legal votes. Some of the re-

The friends of Colonization are engaged
efforts to pureliase the’ entire line of Africsrv
coast, lying between capes Palmas and Mount,-
—about three hundred miles in extent. Twen-
ty tlliousand is the sum required to effect the‘
purchase, of which, all but two thousand had
been subscribed, according to the Journal of
Commerce, on Friday last. The’ effect" of this
measure, will be to exclude, forever from this'ex-
tent of country, the sccursed slave trade, and to
give additional importance to the American cot-'
onies on that coast. \ '
In allusion to this subject, the Tribune make!
the following sensiblc and pithy remarks. Tlicy
will answer very well as I‘ cud, for our slavery
denouncing, but slavery extending abolitionists,
to chew on, whenever their all-fired zeal may
happen to have a moments rest! _ -
The zeal for abolishing the Foreign’
Slave Trade manifested in certain quits-
t’e‘rs contrasts oddly enough with-, that,
more earnest zeal for the annexation ‘of, ,
T exas‘ which has already given a wide and
is destined we fear, to give a _still wider
stimulus to the Domestic trafiic in Human
Flesh.’ If the territory on the African
coast were wanted by the slave powers of"
this country to form new Slave States, no
doubt the pious casuists who have lately
defied Heaven and cheated the Nation by
the cant about ‘enlarging the area of Free‘-
witb a zest. They would give us per’-
baps, long disqriisitions to prove thatthe
nent is to-establish it under Anglo Saxon.
and Christian auspices ‘on the Africarr
coast and thus gradually drain the south-
ern states of their slave population.
