The election in Connecticut took place on
Monday. In speaking of the candidates,
the N. Y. Times very well SAYS

Elisha Phelps is the Democratic Republican can
ddate for Governor, and whatever may be the issue
of the contest, he will command a support adequate
to the defeat of the Loco-tocos. Though his vote
may be less hume ically, than his opponents, it can
not be exceeded in its intelligence, patriotism and
noble spirit. The freemen of Connecticut, who may
this day cast their suffrages for Elisha Phelps and
his associates will perform an act to be proud Of to
the latest period of their lives. They will this day
plant tree, which however ii may be viewed with
contempt for its present teebeness will yet continue
TO grow and flourish so thatthe fowls Of the air may
resi- in its branches and the beasts of the field repose
in its shadow.
The principles of Conservative Repubcanism,
preserving and regulating, not dcstroVing" are the
only principles that can sustain the administration,
or save the republican party. Loco focoism or the
disposition to level downwards, like the worm in the
bud the fire al the root will consume our prospe-
rity and happiness till their freshness and verdure
decay and the people, enraged against the evil
counseors who shall have betrayed them to their
ruin will make their vengeance commensurate with
their shame.

OUR COMMERCIAL CONDITION.

OUR COMMERCIAL CONDITION.
Ii has ever been the policy ofthe wisest and
most fourishing nations Of ancient and modern
times, to encourage commerce as one of the
greatest agents in the increase Of wealth and
power rs in the general Improvement Of So
ciety. Its direct connection and harmonious
action with the other great sources of national
prosperity, make it an important feature in the
economy of nations. No great maritime peo-
pie can flourish without it, and wherever its in
nuence is appreciated, it has not failed to re-
ceive fostering care and protection. From
the comprehensiveness of our country, the
nature of our productions, the enterprise of
our people, and the extent of our naval rela-
tons, it is of indispensable importance 10 us.
To be convinced of this, we have but to
observe its achievements.
1t has made England the most opulent and
powerful, and every way the greatest maritime
nation of the world; and it has been leading
us under its happy auspices to the same high
destiny, until, in the midst of our career, ia
tai policy struck at its very existence.
Contrast the condition of our commerce as
it fourished eighteen months ago with its thou
sand sails and tens of thousands hardy seamen
traversing every sea and cline pouring its
treasures into every ramifcaton of our coun
try; feeding the National Treasury to reple-
ton, and shedding the beams of its benign in
huence over our prosperous and happy people,
with its present deplorable state, stagnated as
it is, Invested of every stimulus to action,
listlessly pursuing its few temptations, return
ing from every point to droop and decay in
dock, and telling its sad tale of ruin and dis
may at every counting house and customs Of
flee in the land
England is bounding onward in her high
career, but America is hampered and bound
down in chains Of political slavery.
The towns and cities which have grown up
under the auspices of American commercial
enterprise, and whose busy mutitudes have
thrived upon its fruits, are sunken in disap-
pointment and dependency.
All the active avocations of life which have
derived their stimulus more or less from COM
merce, are paralyzed, and the whole bosom
of society partakes of the same blightlng inliu-
ence.
Is there one man whose vision is not
dimmed by prejudice, or whose heart is not
steeled against every patriotic emotion, who
can contemplate this sad reality, and not
mourn that it is SOL Let us ask the liberal
and candid Of all parties why ii is thus with
us The answer is easy and direct In an
evil hour " untried erpedients" involving more
than doubtful policy were resorted to by the
great head of power, to work out new pro-
blem in the science of political economy, and
to teach the eldest and the wisest nations OF
the earth that all their experience and all their
long settled principles were but the dreams of
juvenility, or the blunderings Of Ignorance.
Faulty was never so blind, and power WIS
never so falsely directed, as when this mad
crusade was attempted. Conceived in igno-

the above declarations, as their texts, and adj
hered to them in all their measures and actions
devotedly and undeyiatingly.
So long as these hostile feelings towards
the banks continue to exist; and measures,
having for their object to CRAFTY them continue
to be urged by the Government, no resump-
ton Of specie payments can take place, Of
character, that will either benefit or afford re-
lief to the community.
Until better and kinder spirit exists with
the Government, and sincere disposition is
manifested on its part, to aid the banks in re-
Stunning, lat least so far as to impart its conf
dence TO them, and thereby inspire the COM
munity to do the same,) it is impossible for the
banks to resume and do any business there
AFTER If they undertake it, they will soon be
compelled to suspend again, which will prove
fatal to them. Safety to them in resuming,
under existing circumstances, will be found
only by doing no new business, and avoiding
coming under any new obligations, and there
by causing no new demands against them.
1.-THE banks do not fix upon day, through
their delegates in the convention, IL 'ciH De the
fault of the Government alone. 1t will be the
fear Of its hostile attitude at present, and its
action in future, that will prevent.
The Government holds in its hands the
power Of evil and Of good Upon its fiat, is
now suspended the result. IL the existing
evils are to be still farther prolonged, the peo-
pie who are now suffering, ought to know who
it is that stands in the way of relief being af-
forded 10 them.
The Government, by an immediate change
Of its policy, has it in its power to force the
banks to speedy resumption. Lett assume
posture Of amity and friendship; abandon
all the SubTreasury and lard money scheme;
show the banks that confidence will be again
reposed in them, and they will not dare to
delay resuming payments in specie. Public
opinion would compel them to do it.
Why is not this course now adopted 1t is
to crafty the aspirations and vindictve feel
ings Of not exceeding twenty men in and out
of Congress, that it is not done! What re-
lief would ninetcen-twentie,hs of The party in
Congress feel, if they could be dsenthralled
from party discipline, under which they have
been forced to give their support to measure
which neither their ''reason sanctions nor their
conscience approves"
We have felt it duty to speak openly and
fearlessly our views on this all-important sub
ject. We have done SO. in no unkind spirit
towards any one. We as anxiously desire
return to specie payments by the banks as any
one can, whoever he may be. But we would
caution the banks against adopting any mea-
sure, by premature action, that must carry
them on to inevitable destruction.
