gence from Connecticut Is most cheering
Our highest hopes arc more than realized
The expectations of the most sanguine are
surpassed. The result to US is triumphant
| to the Loco Focos, overwhelming. Never
was victory more complete. There is an
entire humiliation of Van Burenism in Con-
necticut. Our friends have made finish of
| the enemy. We have the Governor, 1t. Co.
vernon, Secretary of State, Treasurer, six
nearly two.thirds of the Representatives
! John M. Niles, who has been playing Sc
cond fiddle to Isaac Hill in the U. s. Senate,
now "siopes off into retiracy." Messrs.
Toucey, Ingham, Whittlesey. Holt, &c. &c.
who have been sacrificing the interests of
their constituents and the honor of their coun-
try, for the last four years, are "expunged"
from the House of Representatives. Con-
necticut will now be represented in Congress
by six staunch Whigs.-AD. Ere. Jour.
CONNECTICUT ELEcT1oN.-1t is with no or
binary feelings of joy that we record the re-
suit of another contest in the staunch and
true land of steady habits and good princi-
pies. We are victorious again in Connecti-
cut completely, fully So; our friends have
carried every thing before them have elect
ed The GOrernor-a majority of both Houses Of
| Ticket, which displaces sic Loco FCcos, and
difference OF twelve votes in the House Of
| Representatives.
I Strong as was our faith in Connecticut, we
did not we dared not anticipate such glori-
Gus result, so complete an overthrow of the
administration. We calculated upon gain
of three members of Congress certainly, and
perhaps four, but to carry the entire delega-
| ton, we did not dare to promise ourselves
Connecticut has done her duty. Will Rhode
Island fail in hers ?-Proridence Journal.
THE GAIN OF SIX MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN
| CoNNEcTlcUr.-Thisi is a victory of the great
est Importance, and one which cannot be too
heartily welcomed, for it about settles the
balance of Power in the next Popular Branch
| of the Federal Government. The Connect
cut Wings have discharged their high duty
to their country in way and manner that
puts her among the foremost of the Wing
States of the Union. Their Senator Niles,
( on his way to Salt River, will never more pro-
woke team of such "cattle." The intelli-
gence brought by our Express of the result
[ of this important election, and which was
published in our paper exclusively yester-
day morning, created most powerful sensa-
ton throughout the city. Our office was run
down the whole morning for extra papers
| The result was so unexpected, that the public
could hardly realise that the victory was so
completely. Y. Erpress.
| CONNECTICUT ELEcT1oN.-On the first page
of to- days paper will he found the returns of
the election in Connecticut, which we receiv-
ed by express and published yesterday NOR
ming. The result of this election was looked
to with the utmost anxiety, and the reports
which reached us by the railroad on Tues
day evening were of the most disheartenfng
character. The good news which arrived
during the night was therefore doubly well
come. Its effects on the Loco Focos yester.
day can be better imagined than described
Their fallen spirits showed themselves so
plainly in their countenances that the mo-
ment you set your eyes on Loco, you knew
him to be such, and also that he had received
some awful news. Their eXutation at the re-
election of Parmenter was changed to vail
ing and crashing Of teeth-to sorrow trebly
embittered by the recollection ofthe pleasing
anticipations ofsuccess in which they indul-
ged on the evening previous. May each sue
ceeding election bring to them the same re-
| sult.-Boston Atlas.
OLD CONNECTICUT FOREVER I'VE have
good news from our father land A gain "
sac Members Of Congress, which makes good
to US majority Of members in the next
House of Representatives. We have all the
important State officers by large and unques-
toned majorities. The State is ours, and
"our brows are again bound with victorious
wreaths." We hail this news with joy. The
stars of New England are still in the ascend
ant. A majority of the New England States
are Wing. The land Of the Pilgrims is still
the Home of the Free. Rich as the Govern
ment is, it is yet too poor to buy all, or even
half New England. The Wings Of Connect
lieut. have done gloriously well, and the
Wings of Maine will remember their good
example, when next the political battle is
fought at home.-Portlan Advertiser.
