well aware as men can be that their power would be
vastly advanced with their party In the nation
should they be able to show that they had won their

The conventions OF the two great political parties
OF Connecticut have already .bsen called, and We
hear the notes Of preparation sounded by the organs
throughout the State. The free soil and temperance
parties have already held their conventions, and
havs nominated esch full tickets for ate officers.
! The Arst have nominated ticket headed With John
Hooker Tor Governor, and the temperance people
one with Charles Chapman for Governor. Mr..
Hooker is . lawyer Of this city. He is strong and
ardent supporter of the old abolition party Of this
State. He is fair lawyer, with fair practice and
Is capital lobby member Of every Legislature He
will get q small vote, (perhaps 1900 - great
body Of his party will vote for the Maine Law candi
date, Chapman. Mr. G. is also lawyer Of this city,
with an excellent practice. He represented this ds-
trcs in the last having been elected as the
atty, he deserts his colors e always had strong
desire for promotion, but he il now one Of the line,
and bis chance is very small. He is considered the
first criminal lawyer IN the State, and This account
was probably selected by the Maihescs. The rest Of
his ticket consists Of renegade democrats and wings,
who each and all have about the same chance for
election as those on the fve soil ticket. The tenn
perance ticket viii poll perhass S 900 votes. =
