We have just risen from the perusal of an oration of Theodore Dn-ight, Secretary of the Hartford Con veminn at (his time the editor of the leading llriligh Whig paper in the Slate of Connecticut. The subject matter of this oration is an infamous slander upon the character of the "Apostle of Democracy," Thomas Jefferson. In alluding to the same oration, the Daily ((?a.) Telegraph holds the following just and appropri ate language: "It was immediately after the election of Thomas Jefferson to the Presidency, and lie without doubt truly spoke the sentiments and feeling of the Federal parti al that time. If there is a particle of doubt remaining on the mind of a single individual, of who compose the Democratic party, let him read the following ex tract from this double-distilled Federal oration, and eomparc it with the speeches, editorials, and language used towards the Democratic party by the Whigs of the present day. This same hoary-headed Dwight is, at this day, when the grave is almost ready to receive liiin, using the same foul-mouthed language, the sauie barefaced LIFS towards the present Administration, I that he so freely launched upon the head of the great | and good Jefferson; and the entire Whig tribe, black j and white, join him in his slanders. Does not every I living man of them who composed the traitorous llartlord Convention, belong now to the 13ritish Whig party? Does not almost every man who opposed the last war, belong to the British Whig part)'.' And does a single man of them profess to have changed his poli tics from that day to this? Not one will say he has changed." But what we now wish more particularly to draw the attention of our readers to, is the strict identity which exists between this outpouring of Federal malignancy, and the editorials which daily grace the columns of the Intelligencer. We can trace the identity, not only in the fiend-like spirit which pervades them both, but we find in each the same sentiments clothed in the same language; the same slander, couched in the terms which was hurled against Mr. Jefferson by tliu old )>lnrk hearled Federalist, is now hurled with eijual fury against Mr. Van JJuren by the Erfitors of the Intelligencer, in the paroxysms of their bitter and unrelenting hate: and j whilst they themselves are steeped in guilt andstained with impurity, they dare to profane the name of the : Most High, by attributing that to the interposition of the Almighty, which has been accomplished by their J own unholy crimes. As well might the murderer ex-1 pect to sanctify his reeking, blood-stained hands, by an I appeal equally blasphemous and profane. We insert extracts from the oration of Dwight, and the leading editorial of yesterday's Intelligencer, and we ask our readers to read and compare them. They identify the libellers of Mr. Jefferson with the defainers of Mr. Van Buren. Extracts from Dtcig/tt's Oration. "It is probable that the persons who compose this audience, have never met to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence with sensations similar to those which they experiences this day. Since the last vear, the Administration of our National Government ims gone into the hands of men whom the generality of the people of New England have long viewed as its ??iiemies?men, whose principles and practices we have both feared and reprobated. "In New Kngland, the people partake strongly of a common character, and are more united, and more Fe deral, than in any other division of equal extent in the United States. The causes of this union and Federal ism were implanted in the earliest forms of their govern ments. ?'Connecticut must resign, or the triumph will be complete. Determined, therefore, that this trifling obstacle shall not longer impede their devouring career, the Jacobins bend all their forces against the peace, the order, the region, and the happiness of this State. Here, then, Federalism must take her stand; and if vic torious here, she may still l:oj>e tu rr<jt:in the ground , which she has lost, and to save our distractcd and fall-i ing country. I call on you, then, my fellow-citizens, to unite your strength and activity manfully to resist a j l'oe, just entering the States ofyour fortress. "The outlaws ofEurope, the fugitives from the pillo- j ry and the gallows, have undertaken to assist our own abandoned citizens, in the pleasing work of destroying Connecticut. Scarcely an Aurora appears without an | attempt to accomplish this desirable end. Every lie publican watch-tower bears oil its profligate pages an effort towards the downfall of Connecticut. In the drunken revellings ofthe 4th March, over the infuriated eup of Democratic intoxication, has been hiccupped out the ruin of this devoted State. "We have already seen that our rulers are to be des perate in their pecuniary circumstances?ready to prey 1 upon and plunder the people in every mode which the possesion of places of power will put into their hands? that thr-y are to be ignorant?utterly unacquainted I with either the science of government or the history of man, incapable of reasoning, either from experience or by analogy, the t^ols of passion, the dupes of intrigue, and the slaves ol cot?uption?and that tliey are also to be destitute ot morals aoft religion.

An institution (marriage) ordained by God himself, from which are derived all the substantial blessings and delights of life, is declared to be a "system of fraud.

"The very names leh 'tclt trc bear, the landmarks ofour tit'e !o domestic felicity, are to be removed, and all is to become a common field, exposed to the range* of every lawless and vicious footstep.

V2.J _ _ | Bad as the general result of the late election in this State has been, every thing has not gone ill. There are two or three circumstances so highly creditable to ; the good sense of the people and their love of justice, that\hey deserve to be particularly pointed out. The first of these is the comparatively small majority received by Seward, the Whig candidate for Governor. Thousands of people who committed the error of vot ing for the Harrison electoral ticket, were yet too in-! telligent to make the further mistake of voting for Sew ard They were driven off by the very arts which he and his immediate advisers, Ins cabinet council at Al bany, used to obtain popularity; they saw that hi* poli tical course was not direct, open anil honest, that it was governed bv considerations of temporary expediency, and they were convinced that the public interests are not safe in the hands of such men. It is estimated that Se-.vard's vote is about six thousand less than that given for the Harrison electoral ticket. Another circumstance of special significance is the defeat of the Whig ticket in Dutchess County, the residence of Senator Tullinadge. Here in the circle of Mr. Tallinadge's immediate influence, in the midst j of the various speculations and enterprises which this ardent patriot had set on foot with a single ev> to the public good, the Whigs expected a majority of seven or eight hundred. But the people of liie county disappointed them. It is often the case that he who attempts to teach one doctrine only propagates another, and so it has proved with Mr. Tallinadge! Both his | teachings and hi* example hav? proved very instruc tive to the intelligent yeomanry of Dutchess county, nnd they have accordingly given a majority against the ticket got up by him and Ins friends. A third example of popular justice is the defeat of Mr. Grinnell in this city. That gentleman had allowed hiin?**lf to be drawn into practices wlnch^ojionegtjngjj into them was begun and made public, he denounced those who were engaged into it as a set of rogues and conspirators, declared himself a candidate for a seat in Congress, and called upon the people to decide between him and those whom he accused of being in a plot to destroy his reputation.?The people decided against him. And the people were right. We pay no sort of atten tion to the story told by Glen! worth of Mr. Grinncll's | agency in the affair, for we consider it as of no weight whatever, unless corroborated by other evidence; but we take Mr. Grinnell's admissions in his own affidavit, as the only fair ground of animadversion. Mr. Grinnell gave his money and shut his eyes; he did not annul the authority of an agent who he knew was meditating to carry his election by criminal practices, but consented that he should still be employed as the confidential de puty of the party. The result was, that Glentworth consummated the crime he had planned, at the expense of thousands of dollars to those who employed him, and effected the election of Mr. Grinnell and his colleagues by fraud. Who was to blame in this matter? Not so much the wretched instrument who was known to be needy and unprincipled, as the persons who employed linn and took the advantage of his actions. We make these remarks without the slightest ill will towards Mr. Grinnell, and we have certainly no politi cal interest to promote by them, since the contest for the Presidency is over. We ore only anxious that the public should begin to hold men who give their money fur t lection purposes, to a strict responsibility in regard to the manner iu which it is employed. No man can with a safe conscience give his money to be expended by those whom lie knows to be rogues. If he does so, he must be hvld answerable for their frauds, inasmuch as he may be certain beforehand that they will not ex pend the money honestly. We shall never have our elections pure, until we begin to hold the principals and leaders of a party responsible for the acts of those whom they furnish with the means of mischief. t'orrc.*/iojnlencc of the Ectniiiiz Port. F.\i.i. Rivrn, Mass, Nov. 11, 1?-lft. Th* election is over, and 1 suppose that we are beaten throughout the State. As I anticipated in my last, sundry influences have been made to bear on this Congressional District, and the result is the defeat of our candidate, Mr. Henry Williams. He is defeated of an election, but not exactly "beaten down, laid pros trate." There is no election in the District. Between Mr. Williams and Mr. Borden there is a difference of ^only four or five votes?five 1 believe, and they arc iu favor of Mr. Williams; but there are about sevenfy or eighty scattering votes, and they defeat an issue. The scattering ballots were given by the Abolitionists, and the result of the next contest will depend solely on that party. From an investigation of the facts of the case, I find ; that the Abolitionists can give at this moment, if called out, one thousand votes in this Congressional District, i At the late trial, only the "fanatical" portion of it was called out on party grounds, and most of the "voices"! went one way or the other for the conflicting political} tickets. At the next time, the party will be out in full i force, and will direct its aid towards the candidate that j will go farthest in advancing or adopting its plans and , | schemes. .Mr. Williams, who is, as all New Lngland men are, J hostile to negro slavery, at the contest oi' 1?33 received the vote of the Abolitionists, not because he was the favorite of the party; but because Mr. Horden, his an ! tagonist, at the opening of the session of If!}"?the ex tra session?voted for James K. Polk for Speaker, and Mr. Folk was a slaveholder, and a native born citizen of the slave States. Mr. Borden, it must be recollected, was at this time a professed supporter of the Adminis tration. The act cost him the disapprobation of the J nnti.slavery party; and as he at the same time abandon-; ed the Administration and joined the Whigs, he lost, his election. At the next contest, Mr. IJorden will make a despe-1 rate effort to win the anti-slavery parly to his em braces bv appealing to them, and as the President of the Bristol County Abolition Society, claiming their j support. If he should succeed in this the South will) behold with triumph 1 suppose, his success. The South having thrown herself into the embraces! of the Whigs and anti-slavery party of the North, must' hereafter take care of herself. With what propriety | can it ask the Democracy of the North to make further sacrifices to promote her interests. Let her look to her Whig friends, depend upon her alliances, and ask no thing from us. What lost New York to the Democratic party ? The united band of Anti-Slavery men in fact and Abolition ists nominally. Look at the map of New York?look at the poll rolls, and see if you cannot at once tell how the work was effected. Was not the State carried to the Whigs by the heavy and unprecedented majorities given in" the 21st, 21th, 'i'uh, '-Hjih, 2Slh, 2(.>th, 30th, lllst, 83d and 33d Congressional Districts? And is not everv man who has been elected in those Districts a pledged (either publicly or privately,) Anti-Slavery ! man ? Who arc Ihe men ? 11? r<? yon hare tlu-ir names: John C. Clarke, Christopher Morgan, John Mayiuru, Francis Granger, William . (.?liver, '1 imolhy Childs, So ill \V. Gates, John Voun >r, Stanley N. Clarke, Mal Iar<l Fillmore, and Charles F. Mitchell. These gentlemen are known to be of the strict aboli tionist school, anil I slate the fact and invite them to deny it it* they can, that not a soul of them could have been elected, had they not given satisfactory pledges of | fidelity and truth to the Abolition party. On the sub- j ject of Abolition, Messrs. Granger, Morgan, Childs, [ Gates, Fdlinore, and Charles F. Mitchell, stand fully I committed bv their vote* in Congress, and Messrs. Cranger, and Fillmore and Morgan, stand further com mitted by speeches delivered in the House of Represen tatives. This is notorious to every Southern man, and yet the South, impatient as she is of all interference with iier "peculiar institutions," throws herself into the keep ing of these men. No man could have been inore unpopular with the leading Whigs of the western district of New York, | than Mr. Mitchell was; and 1 well recollect that when j I said to several of them that he would run for re-elec tion, they treated the suggestion as a monstrosity, and said to me in reply, Mitchell is much more likely "to run away from his constituents than they are to run him for re election. The fact is, western New York, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, are internally Aboli tion sections of the Union. All the strong-holds of the Whigs in Pennsylvania; all the counties that gave large majorities to Gen. Har rison, are Abolition counties, and have been so ever since the year ld.'IO, when, as now, they gave their heavy votes for Harrison: and, at the same time, gave an un precedented support to ' ?ov.

They may prosper for a while, but our country is not yet so near its downfall, as to countenance the frauds and cor ruptions of the Whig party, when they are stripped of the deceptions with which they have been covered, and exposed in all their deformity, to the unprejudiced gaze of the people.

Let its not suffer the vivid recollections of our Uni versity apprenticeship, that are reserved for us in fu ture, or the present glowing sympathy in each others elevating pursuits, be dimmed by this dark deed ot * single person, with whom we consider it a sad nj^ 'of tune to own a community of nature, but boldly cast every imputation against our honor as a body?for such we would regard any and every remark implvinga rl!l' tification of the abominable act?by the adoption of the follow ing resolutions . Ilc.tolred, That we sincerely regret the unfortunate accident that has befallen our Professor of Law, Mr Davis, and earnestly hope that a speedy recovery will enable hiin to resume the dut.es of his chair. Resolved, That we will use every possible exertion to find out the perpetrator of the atrocious act, that he may receive his merited punishment?the odium and contempt of the students, expulsion by the faculty a just condemnation by the competent tribunals ot the country. Iicsolred, That we view the author of the outrageous J crime only in the light of a base, assassin, if such words are adequate to express the force of our opinions.
