of the la", elections in Connecticut have beep pro
claimed by the Federal party, with all their Usual
noise and shouting, as wonderful victory, although
it is pot pretended that the Republicans have lot
tn inch of ground since the Inst elections. Let us
look t the pari which the" Rinks of Connecticut
took in Ibis content. The following statement is
taken from the reportof the Commis-iioricrs who,
by few, periodically examine. the Banks of this
State, and report their condition. We, will take
lh"fe'nwnthi during ; which jlie election contest
as 2in on for Governor and other State offices:
Oo the 80th djy of Sept., tSo'J the state of
4he Banks was, i --
Loans. jJotesiu circulation.. Secie in vaults,
il,l90,8W. 3,621,291. 458,733. .
On the 30ih January, 1840, embracing precisely
a period of four montls, the state of the Banks was
f Loans. Notes in circulation. Specie in vaults.
9,598,562. 1,886,140.. , , 484,433.:,
From this showing it appears, that in the small
State of Connecticut alone, within the short period
of four months, and that during the election con
test, he Banks called in $1,935,158 of their notes,
while tbey forced out of circulation in the same
time, more than f2fl,000of specie. In four months
diminishing lha circulation of the Slate nearly sir
ty per tent .'When this is the game played over
die Country, can any man doubt the cause of the
" hard times." Whoever does doubt it, must be
blind indeed, or his condition may be accounted for
by the old adage, which saya " that none are to
blind at thou mho will not see." ;.

To hear the awful torcbodinjrs of death and
devolution which the Federal Harrison humbug
ged aremaking, on the impracticable plan of Mr.
...FoittseU (which, by the by, is novrivert up and
abandoned by Mr. Poinsett himself, and will not be
'-acted on by Congress,) who would suppose that
their "veiled prophet,"- or rather, cngod hero,
had proposed one ten times worse, and at an ex
pense nearly equal to four times Poinsett's estimate t
Yet such is1 the fact. Hear what' his opinions are
from bis own mouth: . . '
Gen. Harrison says: " Instead of the few days now
appropriated to the purpose of training, and thevers
ft-w hours. of those days actual ly employed, some weeks
at least must be devoted to the p'urpne,'end the men
must be taugbt in A MI'S OF DltK-'lPLINE, those
...duties which representing faithful image of actual
war, form the best school in which it can be taulU.
For the accomplishment of so object so desirable, NO
PAINS OR EXPENSE should be spared.! Again he
says: "At the frequent reviews which should take
t plscs, particularly that by the commander-in-chief,
every thing Ut fascinating in military array, the whole
POMP OF WAR" should be introduced to keep up
the ardor of the youth, and excite the circulation or the

- iustruetioD for our youth, should commence as song ss
their mental and bodily powers have acquired sufficient
e trench. Professorships ot tactics should be estab

of the children should resemble the irymnssia ot the
Greeks, that they may grow up in the practice of those
exercises, which will ensble them to beer with the du
t ties ot the camp, and the labors of the field. ' it will no
" doubt, (continues General Harrison,) be urged as a rea-
- son, for continuing the old plan, that the ponre elsM of
our ciliiens cannot spare FIVE OR SIX WEEKS IN
A YEAR FROM THEIR FARMS to learn military
duty. 1 know they cannot, without being psid, but is
not our Government able to pay them .'. If not, they

taken the liberty to publish' him previously, but tliat
he claimed to be a true Republican, lly his request
and at at his dictation, Mr. Finher wrote the notice
end submitted it to him, he fully approved and re
quested its insertion in the Csrolinttn. It wss accord
ingly inserted : Mr. Cheshire received a paper trom

home. : VVa thought no niore about the matter. Three
weeks afterwards, we find in th-Wirchman a letter,
as we ssul Udore, purporting to be written by Mr.
Cheshire, declaring his adherence to the Federal psity,
and what is more strange, dimvowitir his former pub
lication. We leave it to Mr. Cheshire and Ins new
friends, who have involved him in this unenviable diffi
culty, to settle it as they ' please. He might have de.

Ma. Eoitow: I here enclose vou a short corresnon-

the District in which General IJarriton lives. As I
remarked in tny letter, the whole auair is certainly a

I shall however soon publish a eireular address to my

of beneral Harrison to the Presidency. ( think I thill
