the overwhelming verdict which, while it will
render we-deserved and most cordial homage to
the bravery and skill, the brilliant ability and
the generous humanity that have been exem-

State, have achieved complete and glorious
victory in every department Of their Government.
This result, in the existing crisis of national az

of the achievements OF the Army, and the true
merits of the war in which that army is COM
PEELED to fight. 1t shows that at the proper time

dared to assume. 1t is on these accounts that
we hail the decisive result in Connecticut with
particular qualification. We hail it as an evil
dence of a healthy public sentiment on the most
exciting Of topics-War.
Last year, as our readers know, the Govern
ment of Connecticut was in the hands of the
Locofocos--the Governor and both branches OF
the Legislature. This year, the Wing PEOPLE
have elected their Governor, and decided ma.

next Congress their present able and faithful
representatives in every district in the State.
