The State Of the Case.

We are not Of that class OF politicians who are COM
forted by a review Of the battle ground, (when the victory
Is lost by seeing svhere we could have done better, and
hosr we could have prevented the disaster. 1t is too late
TO lock the stable when the horse is stolen-but it as some
times satisfactory TO know how il was done. SO, the
peculiarities in the result of the late election. are well
worthy the consideration of every Democrat in the State.
Vow that the smoke has cleared of, 1t appears that the
Democratic vote has greatly increased from last year
that we have gained nearly as many towns as we have
lost-that the Wings have elected only about fifteen
Representatives. more than they had last year. when the
Democrats bad about thirty majority. that nearly every
town has increased its Democratic vote-and that the
Wings hold the House not by their gains, but 10y the
failure Of Democratic towns 10 elect Representatives
Seventyeieht towns have given Cleveland a majority over
Baldwin, sixty towns a majority for Baldwin over Cleve-
land, and three a lie. In every town giving Baldwin a
majority, the Wings have elected (n several instances by
Abolition help,) their Representatives. while in twenty
two towns giving Democratic msjorities. aud entitled to
thirty -four Representatives. no choice has been made F.
Thus, IL will he seen, that the State Is thoroughly Demo
cratic-and iha: if one half only of those failing towns
had gone unltedIy to the polls. the House would have
been Democratic. and we should have saved the Slate
Ii may not yet he too late-though we cannot tell which
or how many have adjourned sine de.
The towns which have made no choice, and which have
given msjorties for Cleveland, are
Cheshire New Milford,
Meriden, Kent,
Southbury, Plymouth.
Pennington, Salisbury,
Salem, Sharon.
Danbury, Columbi1,
New Canaan, Mansfield.
Sherman, Middletown,
New Fairfield, Ashford,
Suatford, Thompson.
TrumbulI. Woodbury. L.
Of these, Meriden, and Cheshire. in this county. will
pabably elect Democrats on Monday next. In South
bury, which never vet elected n federaiist. the meeting
adjourned sine die-whrch. to say the least, was a very
ridiculous proceeding. In Woodbury., 1t seems that one
or two muish Democrats prefer Wings, If they cannot go
10 the Legislature themselves; So there is no help to he
had in that quarter. Blu, we hope our friends. IN such
towns as have another trial. will do all that can be done
10 retrieve their own character, aud that OF the State, on
Monday next.
More Than twenty Wing Representatives are eleeteu os
less than one hundred votes. aud Their m'J'ily I'D 't
Senate hangs upoa as slight a thread WHAT ihen' nave
the iederalsts gained, Nothing. There has been h'
change IN public sentiment in Connecticut. Our afu'
rent defeat is owing entirely to the Importation OF voters
from out the State; and it is a singular TACT that the
greatest increase Of Wing strength Is IN towns where
Wings have The Boards, rs in New Haven, Hartford
Norwich. Bridgeport. stamford. &c. &c. We have III
doubt tina, at least | 500 fictitious votes were admitted by
the federai-ts; and we are equally certsin that we car
carry Connecticut against Henry Clay, If we can Keep I'll
pipe LAYERS from other States!
Uhy BuJery.-The Hartford Times states thai
Wing named Rogers has been prosecuted at Rocky Hil
Ct. for Offering a Democrat money 10 vote the "h's
ticket himself, and IS a head for all the Democrats ~
could induce To vote that ticket. This Is the way ina
the Wing leaders expected to carry Connecticut.
