THE ESTUBRLE LAND BURNT Owe IL
THE THIRD TiME.

From the Hartford Couran, OF Tuesday.
THEsTUBBLE LAND BURNTOvER
THE THIRD TYNE.
We have the proud satisfaction of
announcing to our readers this morn
ing. that Connecticut stands firm her
sons arc true to themselves and their
country. Yesterday our annual cleo
ton for State officers and members Of
the Legislature took place, and the re-
turns brought us by our expresses, are
Of the most cheering character. The
Wings have swept the State by large
and increased majority, and carried both
branches of the Legislature. Our ma
iority for Governor is not less than
FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUN
DRIED! OF the q Senators, we
have carried 10, and more than two
thirds of the House of Representatives.
Considering the character of the foe we
had TO contend with, what they had at
stake, aud the means at their disposal,
we have achieved one Of the greatest
political triunphs ever known.
Connecticut has been looked to by
her sister Wing States, rs leading of
in the great struggle against misrulc
and corruption-their eyes have been
turned to her, and the result awaited
with intense interest. She has not dis
appointed their hopes, but has taken
her stand foremost IN the ranks, where
we trust she may ever be found.
The Importance of the result was well
understood by the party in power at
Washington, and they made despc-
rate effort to recover their ground hore.
Their presses tccmed with abuse, and
fal,chood, the most baretaccd and wick
ed-and not only were those in this
State who were dependent on them tor

tions but otiice-holdcrs from other State:
were sent among US to lecture our free
inen on their political rights. and in
struct them how to vote. This attcmp
n. Interference with our opiaions has
mel with most signal rebukc. AS an
evidence that the party considered al
at stake, they had on their handbills
put out election morning, the imposing
words-"TfIE LAST EFFORT -
thus acknow wledging, that if they wcr,
defeated, all was lost
This is confession which should b'
borne in understanding to their owl
admission, the Locos are down and d
not expect to rise.
The battle was fought on the part O
the Wings, under the broad banner G
HARRISON AND REFORM" an
our brethren throughout the Union ma
rest assured that Connecticut will g
for the Hero Of i'ippecanoc next fall b
at least 6OO0 majority.
