Tlie Freeman eays: "As the Liberty and fcnttcring votes nmoiint to nearly 2000 agnin it is presumed no election of the State Ticket !ias been made by the people. Tfi'e Whigs Jiavc only 5 Senators, viz. frotn Districts No. I, 4, 5, 12 and 15. - If wlien they were in power, they had repealed the pluraiity rule, there would have been no choice in several of the other Dntrict3, nor of three Members of Congress. The House of Representan ves is more nearly balanced than Inst. year. On a second trial, the Liberty Party havo prevented á clioice of represuntntivcs in Norwich and of a second in New London."
