Connecticut Elections.

The town elections Just held in Connecti-
cut establishes beyond doubt that an over
whelming majority of the people of that
State are in favor of FREMONT. The coalit-
ion between the Buchanan men and the
Fillmore men, in behalf of which the Hon.
Erastus Brooks has labored and is still labor
ing so zealously, had been consumated there
and the entire Fillmore vote was cast for
the Buchanan candidates at these elections,
except in few towns where mixed tickets
were supported by the combined parties.
The result has been coalition IS totally
powerless. In the town of Madison, for in
stance, out of 800 voters only 81 were found
to sustain the Buchanier candidates. And
in 80 towns given by The Hartford COur-
ant, comprising nearly all where elections
have now taken place, "A give Fremont
majorities, 81 Buchanan maiorities, and 5
are divided. Contrasted with the results in
the same places last Fall, the Republicans
have gained in % towns, and the Border
Rufians in 13. This has been accomplish
cd with a great effort on the part of the lat
ter, and without special exertions on the
part of the former. Compared with the
vote of last Spring the aggregate gain Of
Freedom in these towns is 1000! Taking
these facts into view, we are justified in
saying that at the election in November
10000 is the least majority that Connecti-
cut will give to the standard-bearer of Free
dom.-N Y. Tribune.

The Colition.

The Capital City Fact, Central Fillmore
organ of Ohio, of day or to since makes
the following prediction :-"BUCHANAN
IS OUT OF THE QUESTION! BU-
CHANAN WILL BE WITHDRAWN
FROM THE CONTEST as unavailable
Such VIC know to be the wishes of his friends
such will be their true policy. Pennsyl-
vania, the keystone in the arch of Demo
cratic states, will most assuredly repudiate
Buchanan at the approaching state election
and knowing that, "as goes Pennsylvania,
so goes the Union;" why should they sac
rifce their favored son to inevitable defeat
The honest yeomanry Of Ohio are getting
their eyes opened to this Fillmore delusion-
and they will vote straight for Fremont
Make the majority one hundred thousand.

senator Foote ana Col. Fremont.

One Of the staple lies Of the Plaindealer-
has been that Col. Fremont, on a certain.
occasion, struck Senator Foote in the eapi-
tol, for words spoken in debate. The Deal
er, and papers of that iIz, state that Foote-
was knocked down, his spectacles broken
&C., DC, a lie, every word of it. Foote-
himself gave the only blow struck, and he
has had the manliness to contradict the SIAN
der, fabricated and set afoat by the Plain
dealer The San Francisco correspondent
of the n Y. Times, under date of Sept. goth,
says:
''Gov. Foote is stumping the State for
Fillmore. He is preaching the "Won't
Submit" doctrine. Considering what an
inveterate Union-saver the ex-senator IS,
this may be quoted as little extraordinary
Foote has, however, in a manly way, con-
tradicted the SANDER set aaoat that Col
Fremont while Senator struck him for words
spoken in debate"
Why don't the Plaindealer publish its
promised confederation of the SANDER from
the pen of Senator FOotel
Why does not the Democratic Messenger,
of this town, show its honesty in publishing
the truth in this matter!
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1856-10-17

From the Detroit Free Press we have
the particulars of destructive accident on
the Great Western (Canada) Railway on
Friday last. The mail train from Suspen-
sion Bridge to Windsor collided with cat
tie train going cast short distance this
side of London, between two and three
o'clock in the morning The collision took
place at high embankment. Several Of
the cars on the cattle train were thrown
down the embankment, killing some twenty
five valuable cattle. Other cars were up
ended, and four or five cattle were thrown
into the tender. In the up train the mail
and baggage cars were driven though the
forward passenger car. Fortunately, and
singularly, too, no lives were lost. The con-
ductor and few others sustained some in
juries-none of which, we understand, are
serious. Hon. Henry Ledyard, of Detroit
was in the second car, and, with others, had
a narrow escape. During the confusion the
mail car caught fire, and it, the baggage car
the mails, baggage and express goods, were
entirely consumed.

but 1 can now honestly say I would not if
I could. We are free agents, knowing
right from wrong, and no one can compel us
to go estray unless we are so disposed
therefore we can work out good destiny,
and in the end receive the reward.
With philosophising, you plead mot
guilty" to hardness of heart, nor for the
world would you defy the arrows of the
blind god Cupid. But however willy you
may be, and however skilIfuIly his attacks
may be warded of, I have no hesitation in
saying the sentinel will be overpowered
and the almost impregnable fortress-thy
heart-taken by storm. You remark athat
sometimes the heart is so callous, Cupids
arrows make no impression on it, or the
wounds are so slight that they soon heal"
Perhaps there are such instances; but often
er, opine, Coquetry refuses to confess ''the
heart has been pierced" though it may be
filed with the barbed arrows, each one
sharper than the scorpions sting, and they
would die rather than confess it. This crisis
passed, the heart, if one remains, wishes to
be callous. My theory in this matter may
not be correct as my experience IS very lim-
tied, therefore I would not set myself up as.
a judge. True, the days of miracles have
passed, yet when this old head of fifty is
caught by wOman's wiles, you may then look
for its second advent.
+ But as my letter has been
greatly heightened, 1 must bring it to a
close. Remember me as ever your friend.
G. Mr..
