FEMALE ACADEMY.

 4 The Semi-annuaI exhibition of this School took place on Monday evening last before a

 crowded and highly delighted audience. The

 weather was extremely unpleasant, and me

 lancholy interest seemed to prevade the as-

 sembly, in sympathy with the leader of the

 exercises and instructor of the school. who 1 had on that day been called to close the eyes 1 in death of an interesting and beloved son.

 The compositions, and the music, previously 1 prepared, were prOvidentially of a character

 suited to tho occasion, exciting nothing like

 trifing and levity, yet so good as highly to

 interest and engage the attention ofthe audi

 eDce. Some of the pieces read displayed bril-

 liancy ofimaginatiOn and depth of thought

 rarely exhibited ny young school misses.- ] Miss M. WadswOrth and Miss J. Seymour, l of this town. received diplomas of having ] completed to the satisfaction of their instruc-

 tors, the whole course of studies pursued at

 the Academy. The first prize was awarded ] to Miss H. Smith. of Hanover Mass.-prizes were also awarded to Miss J. Reynolds, of N. Y.; Miss E. Beman. cf Troy; Miss c. C. Lindsley, of Washington, D. O.; Miss c.

 Denniston.of Blooming Grove N. Y.; Miss M. Wadsworth, and Wm. Norton. The eviden- ces of improvement and of dligent attention

 to the studies aud rules of the school must

 have been highly gratifying to the parents A friends of the young ladies. The exhibition

 of music was good. and gave evidence of

 much improvement in thIs polite branch of ol. cc n.>l l paintings bore strong marks of improvement and diligence on the part of those who atten- ded to this art. Upon the whole. all the ser

 vices of the evenlng gave pleasing evidence

 that there has been no falling off, either on the part of the instructors OF the pupils. con- nected with this valuable school; and we be- lievr that no previous exhibition ever gave greater satisfaction to the friends of female education.

 From the Harttoyd Times. The Election. n.-Sufficient returns have been

 received to enable us to judge, of the result of the election. It has terminated in the de-

 feat of the democratic candidates who were supposed to be friendly to Gen. Jackson. A ! large portion of the republicans of this state

 are friendly to the election of Gen. Jackson

 to the presidency, and that some of them should be candidates for the legislature, was highly probable, they should not. con 1 sidering their standing and numbers, was not ] to be expected; but that there was any man. agement in procuring those nominations, we

 absolutely deny. At this day--when we can have np motive for making the assertion, but that the truth may be known. we repeat there was nothing in regard to the Presidency, depending on the election. It was found a VTTaeR Nl N ticans, to gain office, which they could not otherwise obtain. seconded by federallsts in

 order to break down the democratic party. They have succeeded in their schemes, and

 we have, for the first time for ten years. in Connecticut, federal legislature. Even the few and far between republicans, are. many of them, of doubtful and eguivocal politics. and in casting our eye over the list we see very few prominent and energetic republic ans. On the other hand, the federalists pre- sent a host of talent-talent of the first or der, but they belong to the Adams amalga. mating party. they will cordially cooperate with the majority of the Senate, who also claim to he of the Adams amalgamating par ty,-Say what you please of different names, those who have united with the ftderalists in their late proceedings, are in principle and al- so in practice, federalists. 1t is absurd to say democracy can in any way be assimulated in the present administration. No democrat can approve of the administration of the second Adams. more than he can of the first, for their measures, and their principles agree. to the word and letter.

 But because inhexible and independent de- mocrats have had the firmness to withstand the administration tornado and steadily adhere to true principle, they have been brought un. der the ban prescription. Meaps that should be deprecated by every high minded man, have beensresOrted to by our opponents Fin order to secure their purposes. To say nothing of the q Eighteen Coffin Handbiu' secretly got up and secretly distributed, we know and can prove, that men were hired to remain from the polls, who were friendly to the regular ticket, others were hired to at- tend and vote for the administration ticket, and men were threatened with the loss of ena- ployment, if they voted for a Jackson candi- date.

 In this county, we have had tocontend a. gainst the combined efforts of the old feder- al aristocracy, ,-and apostate republicans; but notwithstanding they had four presses under their control, against which we have had to contend single handed. it will be seen by the returns that upwards of 1900 genuine, una- dulterated democrats have remained true to the cause. Like the phalanx of '98 boldly breasted the storm, the democrats of '28, de- serve and will receive their reward. It has been our endeavor to sustain the democrat ic party--tO preserve it unbrOken. and alth0'
