we nave the Satisfaction 10 announce TO
our readers, thorough political revolution
in Connecticut. That State has been re-
deemed. -regenerated -disenthralled from
Van Burensm. Locofocoism has suffered
Waterloo defeat. Last year the Van Bu-
rem ticket prevailed, by more than TWO
THOUSAND majority, giving them, the
Governor, 1t. Governor, and overwhelming
majorities in both branches of the Legisla-
ture. On Monday last. the Wing candid
ates for Governor, and 1t Governor, pre-
vailed by a majority of FIVE THOU
SAND, over the Van Buren, ticket, and
we have elected TWENTY out of TWEN-
TY-ONE Senators, and more than t,ro
thirds of the House of Representatives
Van BurenLoco-focoism is totally prostra-
ted, coffined, and buried.-A more COM
plete and thorough revolution was never a.
chieved., Connecticut has thus followed
the glorious example Of Rhode Island,
Maine and New York She has at length,
cast off the yoke, and taken her place among
the great Wing family Of the naton.-Make
room for her, and give her large space in
the glorious constellation Of States redeem
ed from thradom. New Hampshire is now
the only New England State, that does now
bow down to idols. We trust, that single
year more, will be sufficient to bring the
Granite State into the constitutional union
of Wing confederates.
This result is exceedingly important at
this time. Connecticut is represented in
the U. S. Senate. by Messrs. Niles and
Smith, two Of the most thorough-going COL
lar members of that body. They have vo-
ted the high toned Van Buren, measures
on all occasions, and have been particular
Iy Jealous, in advocating the bill of abomi-
nalions---the sub-Treasury system. The
term of Mr.. Niles expires next March, and
he will now be compelled to march out of
the Senate, and give place to a more wor-
thy Senator. This election will operate as
a vote Of instructions for him and his col
league, to vote against the sub-Treasury
Bill, and it will be one Of the most powerful
arguments against the bill, addressed not
only to the Connecticut Delegation in the
House, but to all the other administration
members. 1t will be an argument MS potent
as the speech of MIR. Webster. Mr.. Web
stef's argument was addressed to their
heads, and this Is addressed to their seats,
and the relative effect Of these arguments
are well understood, when addressed TO
men of convenient principles. -
The sub-Treashry Bill from the Senate
was killed in the House. We apprehend
that the result ofthis election will be death
blow to the equally odous bill reported by
Cambreleng in the House. 1t will tend to
break up the party in Congress, and scat
ter tfeir forces. Under such Circumstance
es, it will be difficult for their drill sergeants
to rally their troops, and impossible fot
them to carry their high party measures.
From this day forth, we shall consider the
sub-Treasury Bill as defunct, and that the
day of returning prosperity has dawned. 1t
will not bein the power Of a reckless party
to Withstand such repeated and whitening
shocks. Once mere, we repeat, all hail
and thousand guns for old Connecticut.
The following are the glorious results,
from all the towns in the State excepting
six
