CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
NJ .c,,v,,--,,, A


This day there has leen great "wceping, and
wailing, and gna>hng Of ,eeih," in the loco foco
camp Of the City of Washington. | know not
why, or wherefore, but for about week past these
gentry have felt perfectly confident Of success in
Connecticut. Mr.. PEENTIs, who pretend> TO lie
n sooh-saycr, remarked on Monday, that he never
lost Il wager on an Election, that he never was
mistaken in his calculations on an Election, &c.
and tina, he was certain Of success in Connecticut
Taking all the circumstances the case into con-
kidera,ion, have come to the conclusion that the
party had some ra>cally, corrupt project on foot
which has failed them. There is no other way TO
account for The sudden confidence with which they
were inspired few days lclorc the EIecon.-
About ~ o'clock this forenoon the cars arrived
from Baltimore. A numler Of persons had COL
lec,ed at the Depot to hear the news. AMONG
Others Mr.. MONROE, Representative from the
city of New York. A passenger handed him the
Erenins Pos Of Tuesday, Icing the latest paper.
We opened ii hastily. so far rs il respected the
election in Conncciclt, 1t wa, blank. No alluson
was made to the painful SUBJECT. | Immediately
remarked, that / neither wanted 10 zee or hear
more. The Silence Of that paper told the mourn
full tale: Loco Focoism was PROSTATE in dust am
ashes. The eject here upon the dcsructvc@, Is
astonishing. The defeat was unexpected, and on
that account is doubly Notifying.

We had a very good Thermometer
stolen from our door post on Wednesday
night. Several others have suffered a
similar loss recently. If the public arc
on their guard, these dcprcdators may be
fcrrcttcd out, as they are doubtless per-
sons who would have no use for the instra-

The Wolf is on the Walk,

The following Office Holders Circular
discloses still more fully their reckless and
determined efforts 10 trample over the Tree
thought of the people, and 10 force 1t under
.heir control. These nsolent commissions
10 the whippers 10, are very apt to tall INTO
the wrong hands, since ii has become COM
mon for men TO snap the collar and shake
off the shacIlcs ofparty The very means
which the office holders have pursued TO
strengthen themselves are proving their
weakness, and will aid IN promoting their
overthrow.
In the selection of the Committee who
have put forth the circular alluded to, the
office holders in that district were afraid to
rust to the good sense of the meeting IN
doing the business in the usual method,
and managed to get n majority OF them
selves upon the committee. And If their
appointed hunters have performed the druid
gerry assigned them of noslng about their
peighbors affairs, and prying into their
feelings. they will undoubtedly report
among the causes of disaffection, the IN
science of the Office holders.
How fleeing and worthless are all the
loud professions which the locoloco party
have made of their confidence in the peo-
pie when compared with their practices
They do not rely upon and have confidence
in the intelligence and free spirit of the
people. No. They trust to the iron rule
of committees and agents who are charged
10 keep watch Of every man in the COM
munty and report concerning them to the
grand inquisition at head quarters: An
Office holders police in every school district
in the land, and rigid system of espionage
enforced.
