THE CONSERVATIVE VOTE.

The votes tor the democratic Republican TICKET,
headed with the OF the Hon, Elisha Phelps, have
not been very generally returned especially from the
counties OF Litchfeld and Fairfield Several towns IN
,chfeld county, understand gave this ticket quite
number of votes among which we Will mention VIM
chester Woodbury., Bolebrook, Barkhans,ed, Corn
wall, Kent New Milford Sharon, &c. consequently at
this time we cannot state the number that this ticket
has received with any degree Of exactness In Fairfield
county this ticket received but small support, mas
much as the democrats could not be induced 10 go 10
The polls at aH This may be proved by the fact that
the Wings in that county have given but few II any
more votes than they did last spring, while the Demo-
cratic vote has greatly fallen OFF In the town OF STAN
ford for instance the Wings last spring polled about
eos votes and the Democrats some FIVE or SIX less Now
the Wings gave $40 while the Locos gave only ll6 =
the Conservative Democracy running no ticket The
new organization being too recently adopted to be eiec
tualty carried out and acted upon in manyo the towns
Of the honest and ds'a!eresed portion OF the De-
mocracy, who would not 90 all lengths with the in,osc-
leaders Of loco-ocoism IN bringing run and desc
ation upon the country absented themselves from the
polls. Taking the supposed number OF Democrats that
stad home aud the number that voted for Mr., Phelps,
and adding therh to the number Of old Democrats that
voted the Wing ticket upon the principle that Their
brethren did in the State OF New York, the band OF I'M
changed Democrats in Connecticut cannot be less than
EIGHT OR NINE Thousands number bU no means 10
be dcspsed and tchlch could not he brought o upon me
Independent ticket al The recent eeettonJor The rd"t q
an organisation But the shackes now broken
and look forsa I'd TO clear harbor for correct pn-
cipes al no very distant period In the language OF an
able contemporary. the Democratic party such, must
90 down, but it VIII rise again, purified from the mad
influences and connexions which have doomed 1t TO
temporary overhrow-and look forward to the dawn
Of another long day of triumph and grace when better
counscls shall prevail and mlder spirit OF tolerance
and cancellation shall uphold the new fabric, containing
the ark and the altar and the sacred council hres OF de-
mocracy. -PdfrfOtaH and Democrat
s47sThe vote in this State on Monday last, notwh-
standing about 1000 Democratic voters sad away from
the polls was probably the largest ever poed IN the
State The number will not fall much shor, OF so 900
Last year it was 4533 and the year previous was
37,653-D
~ II is stated that the Loco-focos in the town Of
Boston, under the direction OF their candidate for Sccre-
,ary OF State voted almost to man for the Wing can
dac for Representative in order 10 defeat the election
Of an Independent Democrat that had been nominated
BY the Conservatives.
A similar operation took place, we understand, IN
Toland-several leading Loco.iocos there openly and
boldly voting the wing ticket. We have often told our
readers that ruie ruH, the motto aud rule of
action of the Loco focos, and we ercmpifcd in
the instance above alluded to. they cannot RULE
the Democracy and play of their anstocratic and old
federal pranks under its with IMMUNITY, they will
do their utmost 10 RUIN it, Let us hear more from
that sink of CORRUPTION, the Hartford Times, about the
Conservatives uniting with the Nhigs-b.
s-tP We are informed that the Senators and Repre-
senatves in Congress have repeatedly assured Pres-
dent Van Buren, within the last three weeks that there
was no doubt Connecticut would "iolow IN the foot
steps" Of New Hampshire, and fully sustain his faro
rite Suh-treasury hobby Tho President will learn
how little these gentlemen knew Of public opinion, even
in their own State and also the folly of relying much
upon tho asscveraons Of poIticu parasites and syco-
phanis,-B.
