No. ONr:’s SUrran.—\Vednesday last was
the annual election of Engine Co. No. 1, which
occasion has been observed for several years as
a festival by a supper in the evening.

After the election, in which S. E. OI.Ms'r‘}:n
waschosen Foreman, and Enazar C URTIS, As-
sistant, for the ensuing year, the company form-
ed in procession, and with torches, preceded to
the Connecticut Hotel where, together with
sevei'al«invited guests, and the \Vai-den of the
Borough. they sat down to an excellent supper.
in thegettling up_of which Mine-Host did himself
andthe occasion great credit. After the com-
pany had partaken of the abundance of good
thingslwith which the table was loaded, lenien-
ado was brought on, and a set of regular toasts
were read, in which allusion was made to many
of the guests, calling forth sentiments in re-
sponse. Song and sentiment went round. and
there was truly “a feast of reason and flow of
soul.” Hilarity, marked by courtesy and good

 

feeling, was the leading feature of the occasion. ,

Between 11 and 12 o'clock, the company arose
from the table, many of the guests took their
departure, and the. young gentlemen proceeded
to enjoy themselves in a few cotillions in the
Ball-Room.

‘Vile liaveuniformly been a guest at this an-
nual festival, and take occasion to;remark that the
high stand taken by this company as citizens
and gentlemen, their thorough organization and
efficiency as firemen, commend them to the ap-
probation and encouragement of the ofiicers and
citizens of this Borough.

_ We hope soon to see them rivaled in all these
consideratiensby their less fortunate co-laborer

from her difiicultios, and to be provided with a

without “lot or hindrance.” Our only safety is

For the Gazette.

' HO\V SHALL I VOTE AT THE

COLVIING ELECTION.

In answering this question, Mr. Editor, I
shall suppose myself in the condition of a man
who is about to exercise the right of suffrage for
the first time, on the 6th of April next. I shall
consider myself as fully aware of the importance
of the privilege which I am about to enjoy, and
of the heavy responsibility which rests upon me
to discharge my duty in the matter faithfully,
without fear or favor of any man or party. I '
have taken the electoral oath ; I have sworn be-
fore God and man, that “ wlicnsoever I shall be
called to give my vote or suffrage touching any
matter which concerns this State, I will give it
as I shall judge will conduce to the best good of
the same.” In this I have sworn, first of all, to
vote; and if instead of so doing, I remain at
home, or attend to my ordinary all'airs upon the
day. of election, andfgo not to the polls, I violate
my, oath; I leave undone that which ought to
be done ; I sacrifice my conscience and neglect
my country for a fleeting amusement or a tri-
fling gain.

I have sworn, secondly, to judge; not to fol-
low blindly the d ctates of a party ; not to vote
for this or that person, because a body of men
who liave adopted a political title to which Iain
attached have determined to vote Ihus; but to
judge for myself candidly, impartizilly, without

respect of persons, and according to the best,

knowledge which I can obtain. 1 am not to
considerthe assertions of one side as wholly
true, and those of the other as wholly false, with-
out weighing the evidence upon which eillier
i-tests; but as I have sworn to judge. I have also
implicitly sworn to examine the‘ fouiidation upon

which my judgment is‘ to‘ be based, and to‘ rely ;

only upon that which I am well assured is stable
audsound.

Tniannv, I have sworn “to give my vote as
Ifshall judge will conduce to the best good" of
this State and the whole country. I am not to
inquire merely what will be‘ for the highest in-
terest of myselfindividually, or of my relatives

‘ or of my_friends, or of my party, but of “this

Stateand ‘of the United States.” I am not -to
be carried‘ away by passion or resentment, nei-
ther am I to‘ gratify personal or party feelings;
my duty is to my country, and before Him, up-
on whose name I have sworn to do that duty,
am I to answer for its discharge. I Jan-1 not to
throw away my vote idly, in a vain attempt to
do an imaginary good; I am to aim at what is
practicable, to strive to accomplish that which
there is a hope of aecon'iplishing; and if I neg-
lect the latter in seeking to achieve the former,
if I substitute the best possible, for the best prac-
ticable, if give my vote for a hopeless better
cause, _and turnmy back upon a promising good
cause, then I sell my birth-right for a mess o

pottage, I disregard the dictates of sound judge-
ment, and I violate my oath as much as if I
willfully cast that vote for what I know to be
the unrighteous side. I see that there are two
greiitipolitical parties in the country ; holding

. different views upon many important national

measures; adopting widely varying courses of
political action, and each with its own array of
candidates for official station. I find that be-
sides these, there are smaller and comparatively
insignificant factions, the individuals composing
which, to carry out some one favorite idea,
choose to seperate themselves from the former,
and thus by throwing away their vote fall into
the very error that I have already mentioned.
Following out my own principles as stated
above, I consider it to- be my duty to inquire
which of the two great parties is nearer the
measure of exact rectitude, for, from the na-
ture of things one of them must be so-and to
ally myself in name, voice, and action to that.
Of these two parties one is called the \Vhig,
the other styles itself the Dcniocratic.- By ally-
ing myself to the one which has the greater
measure of right on its side, I shall do, as far as
I can, the best practicable; I shall vote as I
have sworn to do, as “I shall. judge will conduce
to thebest good of this State and the United
States ;” and I propose to give hereafter the

 

_ ~

 

lreasons upon which I have based my judgment

between them ;—-in other words, the reason
;why I am a ‘V1119-

DELEGATES TO THE SENATORIAL

CONVENTION.

At a meeting of the whigs of this town, held

at the N orwalk Hotel, on Monday evening the

‘been deprived of a seat at the Reporters‘ Desk

description of the manner in which Mr. Sawyer

day renders the heretofore faint hopes of our
opponents more and more cloudy.

For the Gazette.
BRIDGEPORT, March 5th 1846.

Friend Reed :——You must have been, oflate
highly gratified at the evaporation of gas, from
the intellectual giant who controls the Repub-
lican Farmer. Several causes have operated
to draw out

“This haberdiisher in small wares,
In politics and State affairs,”

the most prominent of wliich, is an ardent de-
sire to handle the spoils of the Collcctorship, at
present monpolized by a better man. Probably
he imagines his claims will be strengthened, by
the smut which hepublislics inhis weakly sheet.

In an article in the last Farine‘i', the intellec-
tual editor has made a vigorous ellbrt to annihi-

-and staggering about the ocean, enveloped

late Judge Bissel. He makes the charge that
Judge B. has always been a Federalist! Oh
dear! He brings to the witnesses’ stand, a man,
who, in 1818 was one of the publishers of the
Gazette. I ’d like to question this witncss.—-
“Did you not, as one the Editors of the Farmer,
consider it very “democratic” to support such
men as J. Q. Adams and II3m‘_y Clay 1”’ Did
you not, also, as one of the Editors of the Far-
mer, consider it “democratic” to brand Messrs.
Adams and Clay, (who had not changed their
political coursc,) as old Federalists?” ‘ If the
‘witness is an honest man he must answer these
‘questions in the affirmative, and the public can

lreiidily see what reliance is to beplaced upon a
lwitness who blows hot and cold the same breath.
lMr. Bissell is too ardent a \Vliig to be injured
lby such testimony as this. The \Vliigs cannot
forget that . Bissell, at the last Presidential

:election, was the unwavering advocate of that
sterling Democrat, Henry Clay, for the Pres-

ldeiicy——and by a large majority Judge B. was

chosen one of the Presidential Electors.

But hear what the Farmer says of the Loco
caiid-date for Governor :—-

“Mr. Toucey was BORN a DEMOCRAT,
in Ne“.v’own, in this County l”

The I-Iairtford (Loco) Times said of his set-
tlciiieiit in that town :—

"He came into this town from Fair.‘ield Co.
and o;te‘¥:cd his office‘-. as a young Federal law-
yer,” and he “declared politics lobe Federal
of the finst waiter.”

But the T.nies now considers it “democratic”
to right about face, and says, for the good of
“the party:"

“The democrats are satisfied with the de-
jmocracy of }\'Ir. Toucey.”

l Oh, what consistency! Great is Locofocoism,
and greatly to be despised! Locofocisni makes
black white, and white black—it says one thing

,to-day and c'ontr‘a‘dicts it to-morrow—and it ex-
 pects every man in their party to receive these
icontradictory statements as pure democracy.
iLet those swallow the statements of the Loco
ipress, who have threats of sufficient capacity,
7but for one I should prefer being more

DEMOCRATIC.

'\V.A.aai:N, Litchfield Co. March 6, 1846.

DEAR SIR :—Since I saw you at Norwalk, I
have visite'd several sections of our County, in
the southern and eastern part, and have heard
cheering news from the‘ towns north, composing
the northern Senatorial District. \Ve shall do
our duty in this Count)-'—-we shall give no quar-
(ters to the foul spirit of Locofocoism, and I trust
(after the April election, tliat'Locofocoism and
other like ism’s may find the soil of Litchfield
lungenial to their growth. The Loeofocos in
their intrigues on the license question, have been
met and baffled on all sides, so that they cannot
make any political capital out of that subject.
Let the \Vhigs of Old Fairficld remain true to
\Vhig principles, and we shall elect Judge Bis-
sell, by a large majority in the State. The
\Vhig Banner will still wave in triumph over

“the land of steady habits.”
Your obedient servant,

BUFFALO REDEEMED!

\Ve have good news from the Queen City of
\Vestern New York. At the Charter Election
Hon. Solomon G. Haven, was elected Mayor
by a majority of 3520. Selah Barnard, Esq.,
\Vhig candidate for Justice of the Peace, had
a majority of 123; and 6 of the 10 Aldermen
are \Vhig. The \Vai'ds carried by the \Vhigs
'are the 2d, 3d and 5th, while the Locos barely
saved themselves in the 1st and 4th. The con-
test was a spirited one. Three cheers for the
\Vhigs of Buffalo! They have covered‘ them-
selves with honor.

Thus have the \Vhigs triumphed’ in Troy,
Utica, Rochester, Buffalo and Poughkeepsie.—
These victories, we trust, are omens of a better
day for the \Vhig cause. At the Poughkeepsie
Charter Election the \Vhigs carried all their
candidates by an average majority of ‘.221 ! This‘
is up to the liighest’ mark over reached.

Our‘ citizens are reminded that the adjourned
town meeting for hearing the report of the coin-
mittee appointed to inquire into the practicabili-
ty of obtaining a suitable building and farm for
the purpose of a town aims-house, takes place
on Saturday next, at 2 o'clock, P. M. As the
project is one of much interest to the town, both
morally and pecuuiarily, it desirable that it
should receive due attention, and that the re-
pair, and such suggestions as the committee
may see fit to make, may be heard by as many
citizens as can make it convenient to attend the
mettiiig.

From the I-Iarlford Times, Jan. 22, 1833.

The Con.stz'tzm'onnlity of a Tariff was
never doubted until :1 comparatively recent
period, and there are, even now but com-
paratively few who question it. For our-
selves, we never had a doubt on the sub-

There were two arrivals in New York,
from Europe, on VVednesday,the packet
ship 'l‘oionto' 22 days from Portsmouth,
with foiir days later intelligence, and the
auxiliary steamship Massachusetts. The
steamer appears not quite yet to equal the
first public expectation of her. She has
however, labored under many unusual dif-
ficulties, and may yet make a speedy voy-
age. She experienced a succession of
westerly galcs on her late passage, and
was very little aided by her steam pro-
peller. The Tribnne says she was within
20 miles of the Hook on Monday, but was
driven off again.

Her newspapers of course were useless.
The intelligence by the Toronto appears
to be of little importance, if we except a
grand battle between the English and the
Sikh army at the Punjab, in Hindoostan,
and the annexation of the latter territory
to England.

FAVORABLE REPORTS.

From every part of the State we hear
favorable reports in regard to the Whig
prospects at the approaching election.-
Judging from what we see and hear, we
may calculate on a good turn out by the
Whigs. A friend from Windham County
writes us that the prospect is very encour-
aging in that County. Old Fairfield Coun-
ty promises to roll up a heavy majority
for Gov. Bissell. Litchfield County will
report good. All that is necessary is (flor-
