Connecticut In COmmotiOn!-Irish
military Companies Disbanded!


Military Companies Disbanded!
Connecticnt Is in great commotiOn. about
these days. The Fusionists have got a
Know Nothing Governor there who has un-
dertaken to carry out the Know Nothing
creed By disbanding all the foreign Military
Companies in the State.
The following dispatch reached the city
last hight:
HARTFORD, Sept. as.
Gov. Miner removed Adiutant General
Hodge, on the grounds he refused to obey
orders for disbanding the various Irish Mil
itary Companies.
Capt. ]. D. Williams has received the
appointment, and has issued an order dis
banding the Irish Companies of the
State.
So works Fusionism and Know Nothing
ism in New England. Massachusetts SET
the example; Connecticut has followed suit.
Ohio is expected to do the same under the
league of FORD and Fusion. Other States
are to follow, until there is not foreigner
bearing arms in defense of his adopted coun'
try in all our bordefs. Why was not this
done in the days of the Revolution! Why
was La FAYEITE, Frenchman, allowed tc
command an army Of foreigners in those per
iIous days! Why Baron STEunEX, and hosts
of others who contributed their blood ant
treasure to the American cause! The mex
onslaugh will be upon the Germans. The!
will not be allowed to bear arms unless
commanded by Know Nothing Officers, an'
then they must be few in number in eacl
Company, and treated otherwise as spies
Wha. a pass has Fusionism come to, al
ready!-Plain Dealer.

S. p. Chase is Mute on the
Stump.

At the time OF the Chase meeting in
Cleveland, gentlemen Of that city, wrote
the following letter, which was handed Mr..
Chase by HIRAM GRIswoLD. He refused
to answer the questions.
CLEVELAND September goth, 1855.
Hon. s. P. CHsE-Sir: Understanding
you are to address the people of this county,
this afternoon, and Gs the honest object of all
stumpspeaking is to inform the people of the
candidates sentiments on all political, sub
jects, make the following inquiries:
Are You in favor of our present Tax
Law!
Are you in favor of amending the Consti-
tuition, If the Tax Law cannot otherwise be
changed!
Are you in favor Of 80 amending the Con-
stitution as to increase our banking capi-
tai!
Are you in favor Of so amending the
Naturalization Laws, as to require foreig u =
ers, before voting, to live here as long as
you and l have, before voting, viz: twenty
ty.one years!
Are you in favor Of compelling all fore ign
ers, when they forswear all allegence to
their temporal Prince; also TO renounce all
temper all allegiance to the Pope.
| Do you think it any more proper for the
Catholic Church to maintain its connection
with Rome, than for the Episcopal Church
with England, or for the Pope to appoint
Bishops here, than Queen Victoria!
Are you in favor of ofrestoring the missouri
Compromise!

Yours truly.

The foregoing, are plain candid questions,
upon important subjects, The people want
to know Mr.. Chase's position upon these
questions. Ifhe is honest. and does not in.
intend to conceal his real sentiments, it seems
to US he would answer. The honest voters
of the State should not be deceived.

TRuE,-The editor of the Washington Union
thinks there is too much agitation in this coun-
try. He advises the pouring Of oil on the water.
But, while giving this advice, he pours all his
own oil on the fire.
What is true Of the Union is true of many
other journals, some of which are not located
ten thousand miles distant from the Crescent
City. Depreeating frauds upon the ballot box,
they use the strongest aud most jesuitical argu-
ments to justify illegal voting, They are pery
honest--as honest as Iago ever pretended to be-
but are against Investigations necessary to a
proper calculation Of the TRUTH They have a
holy horror of disturbances and rioting, yet
persist in policy most likely to bring on Both
Like the Washington Union, they preach water
at the fire, while both hands are zealously oc-
cupied in emptying Jars of oil on. the fire

four mails from the North via Mobile. and it is
probable the contractors on tho route from
Mobile to Montgomery will condescend to have
somo Of them through. The letters by the
Collins steamer Pacific. from Liverpool Of the
22d ult., were due yesterday. As they are of
more than ordinary Importance at this moment,
u will be rather provoking should they be
longer delayed by irresponsible contractors,
who we believe are engaged on the route east
Of Mobile. The letters may come through to-
day or they may not. We are in receipt of

daily mail between this and Cairo, which was

LETTER FROM COZ. PRESTON POND.

We invite the attention of our readers to the
subjoined letter, addressed to the editors Of the
Crescent by Col, Pond, American candidate for
Congress in the Third District 1t will be seen
that he utterly condemns and repudiates the
use made Of his name by the
getters up of the bogus g National American
State Ticket" which we properly exposed the
very morning il made its appearance.
Nothing else could have been expected from
an honorable gentleman like Col Pond No
wonder he felt chagrined. No wonder he felt
g mortified sat the wanton and reckless mis-
representation Of persons, unauthorized and
unknown, who sought to connect his reputable
name with disreputable purposes. The act was
sufficient to arouse keen indignation in the
breast of any respectable citizen. and we are
elad Col P. has met aud rebuked it in proper
manner. AL the other gentlemen, who were
treated equally as bad as himself, (perhaps
there may be a single exceptionally Dubose,)
will do as Mr.. Pond has done, as soon as the
opportunity is vouchsafed them.
We here submit Col Ponds letter:
To The Crescent In looking the papers Of recent
date see what is styled National American State
Ticket,n announcing John Ray for Governor, Louis
rexads for Lieutenant Governor, H. N. Dubose fol
Treasurer Walter Rossman. for Auditor, Rsndel Hunt

in which this movement originated, the purposes
which its authors have in view. disclaim all
