hundred and thousand dollars. How are
the mighty fallen.
| WASHINGTON, April 5-Evening.
HuzZa for Connecticut! A thousand guns
at least for the victory won there, for it has
spread dismay and confusion among the
friends of the Administration here. Such a
Waterloo defeat-such an abandonment Of a
party-such triumph of principles once
more-such an overwhelming defeat on the
one hand,and such a triumphant victory upon
the other-is almost unequalied ia the hot
test of our political contests.
The news reached the city last evening"
The passengers in the cars were chased from
pillar to post for the purpose of getting from
them the news from Connecticut. " The news
from Connecticut" was the Cry at the Post Of
flee, and "the news from Connecticut" has
been almost the only question asked or an
swered for the last twenty -four hours. I'M
agine then, how such news fell upon the ears
OF the Loco Focos here-and upon the ears
of the two long eored Senators from Connect
icut. To the Wings it came like good news
from far country-like a year of plenty
succeeding year Of famine-such a banquet
was unexpected, and therefore doubly well
come, and the warm and patriotic expression
of joy on the part of the Wings was only e.
qualled in extent by the deep modification
of the friends of the Administration. The
two Senators from Connecticut made queer
appearance as they entered the Senate
Chamber Curiosity, and the result Of the
Connecticut election, made them objects of
special attention to Senators of both parties.
Perry Smith, of whom much ought not to be
expected-since to whom little is given, from
them but little is required-looked less the
Senator than ever before. The face, as IA
fair index of the mind, betrayed a troubled
soul and narrowed conscience. / could

he calls his party. A prophet could not have
been surer of the fulflment Of his prophecy,

cut would give Phelps [Beers] triumphant
majority. He "knew Connecticut" Con-

Federal WHIGs ~" Connecticut was sound
to the core''--"N Mic BiddEe never had much
power there'-" Connecticut was too moral
and intellectual to be bank-bought and bank
bribed'-and Connecticut" said one of the
learned Senators, "would certainly go right"
