PITTOBURGH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1343 (I:7lPer business carets, &c., see firsrp-age APOLITICAL HISTORY OF IRELAND, showing its connexion with England, from the Anglo-Norman Con quest, in 1172, by Henry IL, to the present time, by EDWIN WILLIAM. This work, which contains much information of great interest in connexion with the his tory of Ireland, is got up in a superb manner, and can be had at the Periodical Office of J. H. Foster, Third street. Price 25 cents. FOR THE, POST. A charge having been publicly made in the Demo cratic Convention this day against one of the delegates from Mifflin township, for having violated his iIIStTUC i ions in not voting on second ballot for a certain candi date for Sheriff, we feel it our duty, in justice to the delegates from that Township, to state that the charge is utterly unfounded: no instructions were given to the delegates at the primary meetings as regarded their votes for Sheriff, any farther than to support Major Large: beyond this they were left entirely free to exer cise their own discretion. AARON WHITAKER, Chairman of the Primary Meeting in Mifflin Township. JOSEPH WEST, CHA'S CHESSMAN. August 29, 1843 HISTORICAL FACTS. Itisa singular fact, that during the whole seven . years' war of the revolution, the British were never permitted to rest for a single night on Connecticut soil. They made cone tted attempt;, and iu three or .fear instances succeeded in some little inroad into our • state, hut they were not permitted to remain securely for en hoar. Daring the revolution, Co inecticut pro tetedharself, and furnished inure n and m -ney, iu •reportion to her population and means, for tho de eritip3 ortha country than any other state. On the day 'succeeding the "Lexington Alarm" eighty-four com panies volunteered and were on their way for the "re- Vero( Boston." At the battle of Bunker Hill, a Con necticut farrnsr was in command, though Massachu settsman are unwilling to acknowledge it—Connecti cut troops were the first to engage the enemy, and the last to quit the field. The first blow struck by the Colonies—the first ef ficient act—was the taking of Ticonderoga, which was planned in Connecticut, and the expense was defrayed from our Treasury, :t-,d the troops were almost exclu sively Connecticut m 2.), Id emigrants from this state, 'under Ethan Allen, a n ttive of Connecticut. Over one half of the troops under Gen. Washington in New York, in 1776, were (min this state. His army consisted of 27,000, of whom rising 14,000 were from Connecticut. Of the 26 regiments of militia in this state, in that year 24 regiments were called into ac tive service,most of which was rendered in other states. Andagain in 1777, there wan almost a general levy. In addition to contributing beyond any other state, in proportion to resources, to the continental army, Connecticut during the whole war defended her own soil, although exposed on three frontiers. An efficient coast guard was maintained through the whole war, to protect us from the British shipping, which occupied Long Island Sound. 011 the east we were exposed while the British had possession of Rhode Island, and on the west we had to keep up a line of defences against invasions from the enemy, who had possession of New York. In front, and on the flanks, this state was ex posed; yet she defended herself, and maintained fifteen reriments in, besides contributing by volunteers and drifts to, the continental army. Ocher States have boasted of their deeds, and some knell have been disposed to disparage ours, but not one the Old Thirteen can show more service, generously und freely eiven, without self-glorification far the part sbe acted, than Connecticut. Massachusetts has arro late& under the appellation of New England much of the hoaest credit that is dies to other of the Eastern States. Some tsf her writers have been so ungenerous as to deny to honest old Putnam the fame that belongs ;to him at Bunker bill. They are uawilling to aeknowl ndgo their indebtedness to a Cu:met:dent Farmer—and rhey are alsonnwil ling that Connecticut should have the .tredit of strikinz tie first blow at 'rico:l(l7l.lga. In hTso an I 'other m runs, M Issachusetts hts too °lien , ithibited not only arrogance, but sum thing- worse. At the late g,r•at festiva!, on cotnpletint. the monu ment at Bunker hail, th Te was stn lied ne;lect of Con necticut and New IlampAire. Indeed we are told by a gentleman who WAS present, that, judging- from the speachus a d remarks, there were oak two States of any note in the Union, and those two are Mass tchusetts awl- Virginia. While these two States arc entitled to great credit fur the part they acted, there were other States that made as great sacrift;es, and whose conduc t IsGss as disinterested to say the least. Connecticut had bean a fa:ored colony of the government—had received special m trks offavor—her ports were not closed—no armed troops wire on our soil, but animated with a right srdrit, she flew to arms, and poured out with gen erous devotion her golden and living treasure to sustain the righteous cause of freedom, when attacked in anoth er colony. These things deserve remembrance Hartford Times.
