THE CONNECTICUT VOTE ON THE SUB
TREAsURYi
ANOTHER ApMoNITIoN!

We announced the estimated result OF the
election in Connecticut in a postscript in our
last paper. The returns since received have
more than confirmed those estimates.
The question distinctly presented TO the
people of Connecticut, was SUB-TREAsuRY
or NO SuB-TREAsuRY. They have emphati-
cally decided there shall be no SUB-TREA-
suRY, This we expected Of the free, intelli-
gent, reading, thinking people of New Eng
land
The Globe suspects" that we rejoice that
the "Whigs have swept the State" We
rejoice at the prostration of Loco-focoism-
we rejoice at the triumph of patriotism over
party--we rejoice to see that there are true
Republicans enough left to save the country.
We rejoice, too, at the subdued tone OF the
Globe---at the deep humiliation of the Sub
Treasuryites, and at the hope which this cleo
ton excites that the administration will aban-
don schemes which we have warned them for
the last six months, the people would not en-
dure. We rejoice that we are among the
number Of those, who, although they la
bored to elevate the present administration,
never could encourage its war upon the vital
interests Of the people We rejoice that we
have been right, and we shall again rejoice to
see the administration returning to the con-
sideration of practical objects, and the prose-
cution Of Republican plans Of government.

noon day, that unless they radically abandon
their condemned policy, that they will lose
the support Of every State and District in the
Union' Do they not yet see, that their pre-
sent course viii bring National Bank into
existence in less than two years.
How grossly has Connecticut been mis-
represented in Congress How signally
her Senators and Representatives are rebuk-
ed They now have the satisfaction ofknow-
ing, for certainty that, the full measure of
Justice for their unfaithfulness will be meted
to them, and they will no longer be entrusted
with the confidence they have abused.
A letter addressed to us from Hartford
states that,
"The Loco-foco party have made unprecedented
exertions to save the State-nohng either honorable
or dishonorable has been omitted by them. They
have been assisted by their leaders at Washington,
who have been actively employed in flooding the
State with specehcs-EEtra Globes, &c.-The ----,
-, and others have ranked large packages,
which have been sent on to the Posmasters, and
addressed By them to individuals throughout the State.
! -, ala ti,pp
as vile abuse Of the ranking privilege. The Con-
servative papers in the Slate have been shamefully
suppressed in the Post Offices. The Wings have
been at the expense of sending their papers by pri-
vate conveyance. Mr. Niles cannot be returned to
the Senate and for this all honest in the State
feel thankful" .@ #
