The Connecticut Election.

There is a Democratic journal in Boston
known as the Morning Post; and another
in New York which the Union describes
as that old Federal viper the Evening Post.
These two Posts stand at opposite corners
of the Democratic platform; one being la
belled Free-Soil, and the other Old Hunker.
This accounts for their seeing each diff
ferent side of the Connecticut election,
and for their different versions of the mat
ter. Between the two, how shall we de-
cider Will our Locofoco friends Of this
neighborhood undertake to settle the points
of differencei
The Boston Post congratulates the
friends Of Democracy and the Union at
the result in Connecticut, and reminds
them s'that the Democratic State conven-
ton rejected distinctly the Wilmot pro-
6 viso and all collateral or side issues, and
went into the contest upon the platform
Of broad, national, Democratic princi-
'ples."
The .Neo York Post, on the other hand,
says that 'the Democrats Of Connecticut
have taken such decided ground on the
question Of slavery in the Territories,
that those who are most tenacious on
that point cheerfully and zealously sup
ported their candidates."
This decided ground the Boston Post
indicates in the paragraph we have cited
above. A resolution in favor Of the Will
mot proviso was laid upon the table in
their convention by vote Of 1853 to AZ.
A resolution in favor of the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia shared
the same fate. And this, New York
Free-Soil considers such decided ground
as entities the Democrats of Connecticut
TO the support of the Free-Soilers, who
have such tender consciences on the sub
ject of negro slavery
The result Of the Connecticut election
shows that the union Of the Ftee-Soilers
with the Democrats at the North, in oppo-
sition to General TAYLOR, is as complete
and perfect as that Of the Disunionists and
Democrats at the South. This is the
triple-headed coalition which seeks the
overthrow of the PRESIDENT. Differing
on what else they please, the Free-Soilers
and the Democrats of Connecticut are
united upon one subject, and that is a
common hatred of General TAYLOR. Diff
fering on what else they please, the Dis
unionsts and Democrats OF the South agree
upon one subject common hatred Of
General TAYLOR. Thus il is that we see
Locofocoism, Free-Soilism, and Disunion-
ism, working together, in the kindest man
ner possible, to elect Speaker, no matter
of what complexion, so long as he was
not friend of General TAYLOR. Three
things these gentlemen know, that at all
events, and in any event, General TAY-

The New London Conn., Chronicle
endorses the following account from the
Hartford Courant Of the causes of Wing
defeat in the late Connecticut election. II
specifies three causes, any one of which
would account for it. First, there was a
rum question involved, on which the
Wings always lose, as matter of course.
Secondly, there was distressing apathy
in the Wing ranks, which we think not at
all unlikely. Thirdly, there was COM
plete union of the Locofoco and Free-Soil
parties. In view of all these causes, as
explained by the Courant, we are only
surprised that the Wings we're not more
badly beaten. The Cowant says:
"One Of the causes Of this untoward result has
been the dissatisfaction felt in many towns at the
prosecutions for selling spirituous liquors. The rum
question has mingled itself in the politics Of almost
every town. In this city we lost one of our repre-
scntatives because he gave small donation last
summer towards carrying on the prosecutions.
Many Of our formerly strong Wing towns have
gone Locofoco for the same reasons.
Another cause Of defeat IL the apathy Of the
Wing voters-sn apathy that seems TO be pcriodi-
cal with them, and 10 attack them often when their
efforts are the most needed. very large Loco
foco vote has been pollcd. That party we're well
organized throughout the State, and every person
brought 10 the polls that could be, while all the adj
vice and exhortations Of the Wings could not pro-
cure respectable organization in many towns.
Our strong towns have fallen off wonderfully.
Another reason for our defeat may be traced
TO the complete union that has been formed, in
many parts Of the State between the Jocofoco and
Frce-soi parties. The loss'of 30 many senators is
10 be attributed 10 this cause"
