Tb;s result is not such | wished, such as ex-
pected; and yet was not totally unprepared Tor IT.
The means used most extraordinary and repre-
bensble and if they become prevalent, must lead to
mast disastrous consequences: for they cannot exist
with publc virtue. In some respects, they exceed The
dsuracefu scenes of 1910. Money, large amount,
has been sent into the Stale from abroad stated,
and which verify believe.
The hnmbug was the Tariff, which dressed up
in every shape but the right and the fears of The
labore and the cupdty of the capitalist appealed
to- and not without effect. 1t is, respects, n
tariff triumph and it claimed that the present Ia
riff was to stand fall this result This, you saw,
was stated out of the State, as we'll in it,
Ten DAYS before the election the Madsonian came
out with strong appeals to the friends of the admins
tration to oppose the Democratic ticket. Although
there are not in my honest opinion $50 Tyler
The State Of Connecticut this appeal had the effect OF
stimulating the Federasts and, the Nadisoniun
was sent extras over the State, II gave that party
encouragement If it did not bring them votes.
Strong appeals also made to the abolItionss 10
vote the Wing ticket and to some extent those ap.
peas you perceive, successful for the abolition
vote has diminished instead OF increasing

[The New Haven Register of the d.h, says, "That
the Wings hold the House not by their gains but by
the failure of Democratic towns 10 elect Representa-
lives. Serenty-eigh towns have given Cleveland ma
jorty over Baldwin, sixty towns maj orty for Baldwin
over Cleveland and three tie. In every town giving
Baldwin orty, the Wings have elected I'm severa
instances by Abolition hep,) their Representatives.
while in tcc ytuo towns giving Democratic maJorltIes
and entitled to Mirty.our Representatives., no choice
has been made! Thus will be seen, that the State
is yet thoroughly Democratic-and that fone half on
ly of these failing towns had gone uni.edy to the polls
the House would have been Democralic and we should
have saved the State! 1t may not be yet too Int
though we cannot tell which how many of them
adjourned sine die 22 towns have made no choice
and have given majortes for Cleveland.
We hope our friends in such towns as have another
trial will do all that be done 10 retrieve their own
character, and that of the State on Monday next
More than 90 Wing representatives. elected by less
than one hundred rOtes and their majority in the Sen
ate, hangs upon as slight thread! What then have
The Federalls,s gained? Nothing. There has been nc
change IN public sentiment in Connecticut. Our ap-
parent defeat is owing entirely to the importation oil
voters from the State and it is singular fact, that
the graest increase of Wing strength, is in towns where
Wings hace tie Boards! in New Haven, Hartford
Norwich, Bridgeport, Stanford &c. &c. We have no
doubt that least 800 fictitious votes admitted by
the fpderaIists and we are equally certain that
carry Connecticut against Henry Clay, if we can keep
off pipelayers from other States!"
