William Hull, Jr THEODORE DWIGHT, Elected Secretary . • Deceased., The Boston Uentinel, apprehen sive that the Hartford Convention should be forgotten, reminds its rea ders that Monday last was “the Oth o Anniversary of that day, on which “ the Delegates to this illustrious < Assembly first met and organized “ themselves in Hartford;” and eon eludes by saying, of those who com posed this Convention, that, “ Next “ to that illustrious Assembly which declared America to he free, sove • reign, snd independent, they de- serve our thank*, admiration, and praise.” 1’ may be very spirited, hut we doubt whether it be veryju dieious, to revive the memory of these things in this manner. The best thing, in our judgment, that admirers of the HartfordCoovention can do for it, is, to ‘*Let expres sive Silence its praise ” tXat. Intelligencer, From ike National Journal. MNIEL D.
