CossEcTIcUr.--Th elections for State off,
GERS and members Ct the Legislature took place
10 Connecticut on the Both ult. The accounts
that have come to hand respecting it, are such
as TO induce us TO believe that the administration
party in that State have met with Waterloo
defeat; indeed, there is no room to doubt that
such has been the result. In every county from
which we have heard, the wings have been
successful. The whig candidate for Governor
Is elected, hey ond doubt to both branches Of
the Legislature majority Of wings have been
returned, making it certain that In the election
Of a U. S. Senator, at its next session, the
choice will not fall upon Mr.. Senator Niles. or
any other member Of the party 10 which he te-
longs.

Star, that from all the towns in the state but one
returns had been received, and that the votes IN
those towns stood thus = Ellsworth, the Wing
candidate for Governor, 2l,5l3; Beers, V. B.
Loco Foco, 1896; Phelps, Conservative, j.
20l. Eighteen GU, of twenty one Senators, are
Wings and about two thirds Of the members OF
the House Of Representatives. The defeat Of
the Administration is thorough and may be reli-
ed upon. II seems, indeed, as il the power OF the
Administration in Connecticut had been slain al
a single blow and without contest The people
have followed in the footsteps" of New York,
and other states, 10 which elections have been
held since the Government" boldly declared
that it had nothing TO do but take care of itself
They have given in voice that cannot but be
heard, their effectua condemnation of that aris-
tocratic and unrepublican sentiment. and of the
general policy Of those at present in power.
