HANrroxp, Coss., April 6, ls43
j. b. JOSEs, Ess; hasten 10 inform you Of the re-
sl Of State election, which took place Last Mon
day All the towns bat iAres have been heard from,
good portion OF them officially, and the triumph oil
Democracy is complete -Four representatives, TO
Congress the entire delegation - are elected
Cleveland has a majority OF about two hundred and
airy over Baldwin, (Whig,) the abolition'sisl and
terng votes and u.s. beyond all doubt. with all h
other State officers elected by the People As to the
Legislature, the Senate stands 10 Democrats to B
Wings, and In the House 80 Democrats to IS Wings.
You will see from this that nothing can stand be-
fore the Democracy Of Connecticut, when united, OF
partially II sscortanei that the original Al
miostratioo Democrats generally made common cause
with their other brethren and have saved the Cover
nor &C., and at least two out Of the four Congress
men from defeat In this district, where the friends
Of the Administration hast year polled about 300 votes
with an imperfect organization, Seymours majority
Is only 30. Only two years ago. in this county
alone, 1'rumbulls majority little less than W.
tea hundred. Tremendous exertions were made by
the Wing candidate and his friends-money was
freely used and every appeal put forth to induce the
electors to give their votes to Mr. Brace, but all
to purpose In order to get the Abolition votes,
the candidate pied himself secretly to go even for the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia =
But this could not avail him, If, indeed, he did moi
lose some votes by the operation Mr. Seymour, the
successful competitor, is young man OF superior
talents, and every inch of him Democrat; can
say much also for Mr.. Catlin, Of the Sd district
and Mr. Stewart, of the I'd, except that the latter
gentleman is further advanced in years.
The Democracy Of the State appear to understand
well the cause of their success Those who separa
ted from them in l840 have given them
their confidence, and trust the union will be per-
manent one. II certainly will, if prudence, liberal
ity, and moderation are made the guide of Democra
tic action in future The very best feeling exists
among the Republicans, and have the utmost conf
dence that hereafter all will 20 right in old

THE HISTORY OF OUR TWO WARS WITH
ENGLAND DONE INTO THE CHINESE
LANGUAGE.

In our opinion better disposition could not
be made of a part of The appropriation to de-
fray the expenses of The embassy to China,
than 10 devote a reasonable SUN 10 pay for a
translation into the Chinese language of the
use of the King Of the Celestials.
Such a history would open the eyes of the
Emperor and his advisers to the fact that the
British nation is moi an nvincible one and he
would not be slow to perceive that the People
Of the United States, if admitted TO an equal
share OF the advantages granted to England,
would prove his natural ally against any ag-
gression which Victoria might choose TO make,
with view Of overturning the Government
of the Tea region of the earth, and erecting on
its ruins another Bengal Empire.
