This is a walled town, and has acauat or
ditch running round it. The suhin Im is
nearly as large a-, the town. Thb only

of one of the grand dukes’ of Tuscany.
A marble figure, larger than life, armed
capapce, on a bane about six feet high.
1 is intended to. represent the young duke.
To each corner of the bane, is a copper
Turk, chaiUcd in a sitting posture, one
of which is represented with his back
broke. The tradition respecting it is,
that the four Turks, a man and his three
sons were pii ales, who infested this scu.
The young duke went out in a galley in
pursuit of them- The old man was so
strong, that he pulled again-t his three
sons; his oar broke, and he fell back ami
broke his back, by account of which the
duke captured them. When he return-}

success, that he landed without waiting
fur pratiipie, and was executed fm* break

Glorious Triumph / /
The Election , which (ouk place on the
15th in»t. through the state for the nom
ination of CuuciLlors , & the election of
Representatives of the Assembly, has re
sulted in the complete and entire suc
cess of the republican party. A majori
■ ty of about xWo thousand five hun
dred votes fur councillors, and one
hundred A* twettg-nineenemhevs of the
House of representatives, giving us a
majority <vf fifty-six in that body, attest
our triumph. The change of public sen
tilnent in Connecticut, for the last
twelve months, is without example. A
B party which but a short time since, consi
dered themselves!as the legitimate rulers
of the state and so firmly established in
| their authority by their inexplicable sys-
I tein of steady habits, as to have set as
the principles of sclf-preserva
| Hon and even the maxihis of common pru
ilj dcnce, and to hove raised its pnn ulical
arm against the government of their coun
try, has been prostrated in the dust.
They have not merely been discom
fited—there disaster is total and irrepar-
B They have not only been defeated,
| hut annihilated. They have ceased to
as a party. In some entire sec
tions ot the slate, the party is literally
extinct. I and Ncw-London
Counties, bomprlsing, one third part of
me state there is not even a vestige of
federalism that has survived the general
B r ’dn, which, “like the flag floating when
the bark’s ingulph’d, “might serve as a
juemorial of its form, power. Conner-
B bent has always had the elements of the
■ spirit and principles of republicanism.

But very little of this year’s cultiva
tion has yet reached our market. The
small quantity brought in has command
ed from 2G to '27 cents! A fine prospect
tor the Planter; and which will remedy,
iti a great degree, the, loss he has sustain
ed in the cultivation of this valuable ar
tide, from the unusual ravages of the
rot ami worm.
V/e have read with mingled sensati
ons of pity and contempt, a scries of let
ters said to be written by a young gen
tleman from the North, on a tour of
business through the Southern States.—
These letters (originally published in
the Commercial Advertiser of N. York)
are something in the style of strictures
on the character and manners of the in
habitants, of the States thro’ which he
passed; and on their civil ftndlpbliticat
institutions.
From singular premises, in a spirit of
discriminating candor, he deduces gen
eral inference'.—and Georgia is repre
sented, to the eye of the stranger, as a
vulgar and savage monocracy—South-
Car-*',na as a receptacle for mercenary
dealers-—and Virginia, the old Dominion
as combining all those enviable qualities
in a pre-eminent degree. The exten
sive spite re of our tourist's observations,
was unli) confined, it appears, to the in
definable limits of a post-road, or some
obscure country village, where, (it would
seem) dashing into every bagnio and tip
pling shop that crossed his way, he was
enabled to collect materials sufficient to
answer tiie purpose of a libellous in
grate.
If a southern travelled in the
States, should form an opinion of
the chastity of their females from an in
tercourse with the. devotees of the Cyp
rian Goddess—of the sobriety of their
citizens, after participating in abachan
alian orgie—of the honesty of their
traders, by selecting individual instan
ces of cupidity and extortion-—and, fi
nally, of the literary information of the
country, from the colloquial talents of
a Boniface —what would our northern
brethren think of him? —The liberal and
enlightened mhabitants*' of the north,
however, are not to be duped by such
ignorant and malicious representations.
They are well aware (hat in-all societies,
iniquitous ami depraved individuals are
found; and that the man who estimates
the general character of a community
from the existence of such facts, is only
to be pitied as a wretched ideot, or ab
horred as a bast calumniator.
