Van Burenism Defeated in the Legislature of Connecticut.-The Locofoco members of the Legislature of Connecticut held their annual caucus at Hartford on the 17th, W. S. Holabird in the Chair. Resolutions were adopted, lamenting that the Whigs had failed to establish a permanent tariff-against a National Bank-in favor of the Sub-Treasury-against distribution-and the assumption by the General Government of the debts of the States. No expression was made as to the choice of the Locofocos of Connecticut for the next Presidency —an omission which has been supplied by the New Haven Palladium. We find a statement in the Palladium that a resolution was introduced, declaring it the opinion of the democracy of Connecticut that the National Convention should be held next November-as Mr. Van Buren's friends have always desired--which after leading to an almost interminable discussion, was finally defeated by the casting vote of the Chairman. The vote stood 49 to 49, when Mr. Holabird voted in the negative, and thus killed the resolution. If Van Burenism cannot beat Calhounism even in New England, what chance has the little magician with his great rival elsewhere?-N. Y. American.
