The Hartford Courant of Thursday, an able
Wing paper, has the following comments on
the subject of this election:-
We yesterday morning had the high sat
isaction OF announcing to our readers, what
the Wings of Connecticut had been doing
The result is most glorious one, and will
give courage to the Wings Of our own State,
and JOY to our Wing brethren throughout
the Union, who have been, for months,
watching our political action, with untiring
solitude.
We this morning recapitulate the state of
the vote on Monday,-for we have been a.
gain looking over the burnt battlefield, and
find that the ashes of the stubbe land are
not yet cold.
1t will cheer the hearts of hundreds of
thousands Of good Wing freemen to know
that Connecticut has taken her place in the
faithful ranks, and will be ready to march
on to victory in the autumn, with the host
who are waging the battle for the Protection
Of american Industry.
The storm which commenced in the
Southwest and came from Tennessee over
Maryland, has also swept over our own
State, and TO our gallant Wing friends, not
only in those States, but in all the other sis
ter Commonwealth in the Republic, Con-
necticut hereby sends her assurance that
they may rely upon her in the November
campaign.
We have felt the responsibility which the
Wings were placing upon their brethren in
this State. We have known they were a
waiting the result with an interest seldom if
ever felt in an election among us. We are
happy to meet this anticipation on their part,
with tidings which we know will be SO
cheering.
The radicalism Of Locofoco doctrines
finds no fit place in our soil. We have
ploughed deep furrows about its roots, and
we hope the people will SOW salt among
them
The fierce onset which demagogues were
making upon the present bene6cent Tariff
policy is checked, so far as the voice of Con-
necticut can contribute to the result. We
give our voice for the Tariff-the present
Tariff, and feel that it will require but a
pleasant and heaIthful amount of labor, to
carry the State in November, for the great
American Statesman, and for the fostering
Of public interests which are dear to all the
people.
We have such majority in both Houses
of the Legislature as will enable us to do our
share in preserving the integrity of the Uni
ted States Senate,-and if Locofocoism in
Connecticut shall ever find out, whether or
not, it has any Senator now in Congress, we
will supply his place, if he be not there
The Locofoco Regents have felt in pretty
amphibious condition on that subject, for
several months. If they should carry the
State, they intended to have the seat of Mr..
Niles vacated. AS it is, they will probably
think he is now in Washington, as good a
Senator as the best of them.
The Wings, in this contest, have conten-
ded against odds, and have overcome it,
We were out of power-Locofocoism was
intrenched in possession Of the officers ofthe
State, the Courts where men are natural
lied, the Boards of Selectmen, and other
such items. In addition to this, they were
armed with desperation, to the teeth. Mad

were foundering in the dreary anticipations
of political death, and mingled in the hottest
of the battle, and strove, by scandal and def

They hoped, by gross outrages upon pop

their ascendency another year. The Wings
