As our LocofooO friends in the South are
Growing over the result Of the Connecticut e.
lection, we give them a sweet nut TO crack.
We hope they will like the taste OF 1t. We
take it from the Democratic American.
Election in ConnectiCut-itS Moral.
The result Of the recent election in COnneC-
ticut, (says the OnOndaga standard0 although
not 80 decisive in favor Of the Democracy as
AS at first anticipated, may nevertheless be
regarded as a defeat Of TaylOrism. There
isno choice for Governor by the people, BUTT
is believed that the Democrats have elected a
efficient majority Of the Legislature to render
the triumph Of the Democratic candidate in
that body, certain. But the result on the Con-
Qress ticket is q decisive Democratic victory.
We secure three Of the four members to which
The State is entitled; whereas in the last Con-
gress the Wings had the whole number"
The cause Of the sOmerss. iS easily explained.
Las, fall, the Wing party in that State, as we'll
az throughout the entire kOTth, went into the
Presidential contest, as the peculiar champion
Of free soil, and the Objectionable and offensive
position Of the Baltimore nominee on that
question, enabled them to carry the State fOF a
STAKEHOLDER. The election being over, and
Taylor scarcely seated in power for four years,
the disguise which Truman Smith, John A.
Rockwell and other whig leaders in that State
had successfully worn through tho campaign
was thrown aside. Smith and Rockwell 'ook
their seats in Congress al the last session, and
distinguished themselves BY a SubSSEvisnOy 's
the slave power, only parallslOd in the House
Of Rspres entalives. BY the SOur1OsOf Such men
as BirdSall, Sawyer and lngerSOll, on the DEM
OCratic side. But voting all round Robin
Hoods barn was moi enough for Smith. Ne
must needs write a fulsome letter to the Pres
ident, declining an Office which he could not
Cohssitutionally accept, and in which he toru-
ally pledged himself TO betray the North, on oil
questions that nigh. arise in the Senate during
the six years term upon which he entered on
the 4th Of March. OF course such conduct
could no. but disgust and dishearten all con-
scien,ious members Of the Wing party in the
State.
On the other hand the democrats went into
the election under favorable auspices. In re-
gard to the position Of the Democratic candl-
date for Governor, we can say nothing but in
reference to members Of Congress, our friendS
occupy strong ground. The three democratic
members are not only strong Wilmos FToNS0
mon, bot will vote for the abolition OF slavery
in the District Of Columbia. Col. Booth, one
of them, voted for Mr.. Van Buren, last talI, and
was first nominated by the Free Soil men' Ex-
Governor Cleveland, another, voted Tor Cen
Cnss, bu. his position on the great questions
Of the day, is as unequivocal and satisfactory
IN the friends Of freedom as can b0 desired.
An admirable letter from him was recently
published. The Free Soil candidate in Mr..
Waldo's district was Withdrawn just previous
to tho election, Mr.. WIS position being cordi-
ally approved. He received tho nomination
in opposition to a Cass Nicholson Democrat.
In the other district there wore three tickets
for Congress, and the Wing candidate was
chosen.
Such was the position respectively Of the two
parties in Connecticut at this election; and had
the Hartford Times and other city Cas- papers,
cordially sustained the ticket, as they did not,
ms victory would have bssnestIil more decis-
