DAILY OUR A NT. FRIDAY, APRIL 20. From the Litchfield Enquirer. Analytical Statement of the number and political character of Office Holders in the county of Litchfield. Loco Focos.

They both promise well and may be recommended for cultivation. 6.

The Black Sea Wheat is another variety, which may bo safely commended to the farmers. We speak of the spring variety, raised first in 1831, in Fitchburg, Mass. There is a wheat under the same name raised in NewYork, of great productiveness.which is a winter wheat. The Black Sea spring wheat, was first intro. duced by Payson Williams of Fitchburg, Mass.

A friend in Smyrna found this grain on board a vessel from the Black Sea, and sent a bushel of it to Mr. VVilliams. His cultivation has for years been extraor. dinarily liberal, and in a corresponding degree success, lul. Fivo years since he obtained 55 1-2 bushels to tho acre, weighing 65 pounds fo the bushel.

This year his crop is reported at 38 1-2 bushels. 7. Another variety has been brought ioto the coun. try from Portugal called the Seten Weeks Wheat. It was imported by a gentleman in Stockbridge, the last year, but did not arrive in season to admit of a fair trial.

It is said to yield well under good cultivation, and to come to maturity seven weeks from the time of sow. i ing. How well it will succeed in our latitude remains to bo determined. I have sent to Lisbon for a quantity for distribution among the farmers, deeming it from the representations made worthy of a fair experiment. The kernel is long, and of a dark color the quality of the flour is not ascertained.

Having spoken thus fully of tho different kinds of spring wheat raised in the State, it must be left to every farmer to choose for himself. Belhlem, By the politeness of Major James Goodwin, Jr we are enabled to lay before our readers this morning tho highly gratifying intelligence that tho Whigs have triumphed in Rliodo Island. From the Providence Journal of Thursday WHIG CAUSE GLORIOUS RESULTS! Rhode Island Election Once more victorious' Another contest is over Another battle has been won' The same banner which led, us oa to victory in August' now floats in triumph over another well-lought field' The freemen who then came out four thousand stron?" for Tillingiiast and Cranston, havo now mustered equal force and contended with equal success, for the same great principles. Tho good work which was begun at that time is now completed the last vestiga of Loco Focoism has been swept away and with joy not less than we felt in announcing the victory of hi summer, we are ablo to say that the entire Whig Ticket has been elected by a triumphant majority. This rssult has been effected after one of tho severest political contests that ever occurcd in this State, and one which has brought into tho field tho entire strength and energies of both parties.

The Loco Focos had calculated less upon their own strength than upon our supposed weakness. They imagined that thero were disunions in the Whig ranks, which would prevent us from casting a full party vote. Had it not been for this, they would not have nominated a ticket. The result has shown tho fallacy of their calculations. May it ever prove thus when they rely for success upon the supinenrss of the Whigs of Rhode Island.

Wo give below, such returns as have come to hand, two of our Expresses, at the time of putting this paper jo press, (4 a. not having arrived, probably delayed in consequence of the storm. 5 5 3 1 1 1 3 2. 2 3 1 3 2 1 0 3 5 2 i 3 1 60 6 3 4 3 4 6 7 8 10 12 6 4 4 9 3 5 3 8 7 9 8 47 Canaan, Colebrook, Cornwall, Goshen, Harwinton, Kent, New Hartford, New Norfolk, Plymouth, Roxbury, Salisbury, Sharon, Torrington, Warren, Washington, Watertown, Winchester, Woodbury, There seems to be' a little disposition, just at this moment, at Washington, to bluster towards Mexico, as if our national rights, or national honor, were in danger of an attack from that quarter. We presume this is al show, and intended to force Congress into measures of some sort, which may help to supply an exhausted and bankrupt Treasury.

Indirect move, ments, having reference to this object, must be looked for until something occurs, which will holp the admin, istration out of a dilemma, which, from present appearance, threatens their very existence. Mr. Hamer's singular motion in the House of Representatives a few days since, we have not a doubt, was designed to in. fluence the New York election, and the proceedings of the Bank Convention, which was then about to meet in the city of New York, and Governor Marcy's mes. sage at Albany, probably had immediate reference to the same subject.

At the same time, as all the power, physical and intellectual, of Jacksonism and Van Bu-renism, has never yet been ablo to over-power, or overreach Mr. Nicholas Diddle, we think it more than probable, that both these profound projects were cal. culated, in case the United States Bank of Pcnnsylva. nia should not agree to resume paying specie as early as was contemplated by the Now York banks, to uflbrd a convenient opportunity to the administration, to re. new their hostilities against Mr.

Biddle and his institu. tion, with fresh vigor, and increased bitterness and animosity. Events will shew whether this suggestion is well founded, or not; for as the banks generally, out of New York, do not think it expedient to run the hazard of paying specie quite so soon, it will comport with the conduct of the administration heretofore, to charge the non-resumption upon an institution, which they have never yet been able to bend to their party purposes and policy. As the embarrassments, which tbeir own folly and porverseness have brought upon them, already threaten to crush them, they are renew, ing their clamors against Mr. Biddle and his bank, if possible with more acrimony than ever.

On'y one Deputy Sheriff out of eleven, and one Judge ofProbato out of twelve are Whigs. In appointing Justices, the Loco Focos do not pay the least attention to public sentiment. Witness tho state of things in the towns of Litchfield, Goshen, New Hartford, New Milford, Plymouth, and sundry other Whig towns. The Whig Post Masters have been nearly all turned out of office, and recently two in New Hartford, which the good Peoplo of that town most justly as well as appropriately resented by giving at the late election 107 major. 9 149 135 86 101 104 45 116 69.

Middletown Constitution. Locked Jaw. Several years ago during a conversa. tion in Newport, upon that fearful malady, the locked jaw, an intelligent master of a vessel observed, that when ho was at the Island of St. Eustatia, he heard a certain eminent physician remark, that he had many cases of the locked jaw, and never lost a patient.

On inquiry of the particular mode of treatment in which he had been so fcuccessful, tho physician replied that he directed an application of warm lye, made of ashes as strong as possible if the foot or hand was wounded, the same wob dipped repeatedly into and if the part of the body which could not be immersed in it, then in that case, the part affected to be bathed with flannels wrung out from the warm lye. In July last Capt. Charles Gordon of Newport, unfortunately jumped upon the scraggy point of a spoke, which perforated his boot and foot, and he was taken homo in the most excruciating tortures the attending physi. cian could afford him no relief. Providentially, a lady recommended the warm lyo bath, into which his foot was placed within fifteen minutes tho anguish was taken out, he went to bed and slept quietly.
