FROM CONNECTICUT.
ORGANIZATION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune.
HARTFORD, Saturday, Feb. IS, 1856.
Connecticut is earnestly moving in the Repub-
lican cause. The meeting here on the 18th to
infinite a State organization was large, and en-
braced the substantial part of the community OF
all parties heretofore. Our venerable Ex-Chlei
Justice Williams presided, and made most im-
pressiye speech He said that he had expected
never to attend another political meeting but could
not resist the call made upon him by the alarming
condition of the country; and eloquently showed
that those having charge of the Government were
pervertng the Constitution and using it merely
for enarging the boundaries of Slavery, and that
Freedom was allowed no resting place in it, Ex-
Senator Niles followed Judge Williams, and with
great force and earnestness portrayed the desponc
acts and tendencies Of the Administration, prov
ipQ that Pierce was the "chief OF the Border
RlIfhans" In so brief notice it is impossible to
do any Justice TO the able speech OF tas old
leads OF Of the Democratic party. 1t IS well
known that this gentleman and Gideon w elles,
who also participated in the proceedings
of this meeting were the fathers of the
Democratic party of Connecticut Other gen
temen also ably addressed the meeting, and
the resolutions speak boldly the honest and pa
triotic sentiments of the State. | subjoln the
