HARTFORD, March 90, 1854.
Inc State Election nert Monday.


The State Election merit Monday.
The Nebraska excitement in this State to be cool
ing down for few days past and parties are beginning
to stand upon their grounds again Unfortunately
for the wings, they committed themselves too much,
and formed too many and too open coalitions with
the free soil party, and find it hard to back out
though the leaders wish they might sincerely This
is the great trouble with Connecticut wings Every
issue which up is eagerly seized upon and the
suit is their fingers often burned The element which
will have but little any influence in this election ia the
Maine law question. is considered doubtful which
will receive the greatest number of votes Dutton the whg
candidate for Governor, Chapman, the temperance
candidate. They cannot both together receive many
votes as Judge Ingham, the democratic candidate.
The democrats last year had majority in the Legisa-
ture Of seventyfye joint ballot (sixty six in the
House and nine in the Sena,e) This large majority will
probably be somewhat reduced this year. but the idea
the wings having majority preposterous. Let take
the Senate for this body the greatest efforts being
made by the coalitionists, g. wings free soil, and
Maine law) 1t consists of twenyon members of which
last year fifteen democrats and six wings This year
the democrats will certainly carry the First, Second,
Third Eighth, Tenth Eleventh. Thirteenth, Fourteenth,
Seventeenth Nineteenth, Twentieth and probably the
Fifth Fifteenth Sixteenth Eighteenth and Twenty first
The wings sure only Of the Fourth, Seventh,
Twelfth and chance for the Sixth and Ninth The de-
mocras may lose twenty of the representativeshardy
that should think-whch would still leave them good
working majority of twentys in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes The United States Senator elected by
current ballot thus there is not the least chance for
whig
The democrats will elect sheris in Hartford, Fairfield
Windham Middlesex and Tolland counties, and good
chance for those Of New London and Iitchfed, while
the wings only of New Haven county, but hope
for more.
The wing candidate for Governor, Hon Henry Dutton
Of New Haven, is lawyer of good standing in his own
county. He has identified himself with the Maine law
section Of the wings and will consequently lose many
votes that account In his city he particular.
y unpopular, Gov Seymour the democratic candidate
last year led him about 400 votes while the representa-
| tiyes were divded-one wing and one democrat.
Alexander II. Holley, Esq., Of Salisbury, Litchfeld
county is the candidate for Lieutenant Deputy Cover
nor Dir. Hoey IL supposed 10 be able man, and well
qu0lihed to act presiding officer of that responsible
body, the State Senate He belongs to the young Ame
RIGA" progressive wing of the wing party. His opn
ions the Maine law, &c, f he has any are not made
| public.

gentlemen of sister city of Matamores have been
ordered TO absent themselves from the frontier Among
them are two officers Of the army and one an emppyc
of the Treasury Department We unable to learn OF
what these gentlemen accused IT IS supposed 70 be
the result of successful political intrigue by for
mer Matamoransc, a resident In the capital. We
understand order emanatng from the city Of Mexico
yesterday promulgated in Mtamoras prohibiting the
expectation Of all kinds Of stock from the frontier This
order, learn, in the States OF Coahuih and Nuevo
Leon hns been in force for time, but yesterday
witnessed its first publicity in Tamaupas It is unfor-
tunne for numbers OF Inhabitants both banks OF the
river With many of the people Of Tamaulipas their
herds OF horses, mules and horned cattle form their
chief and almost only of wealth the traders from
this side OF the river have been their principal customers
This market has been entirely cut OF by The recent de-
cree we understand IL imposes fine OF two hundred
dollars together with all the animals taken for each
violation II would be well for those Of citizens in
the interior of our State, heretofore engaged in the
trade to take heed of this order 1t may save them
