Repudiating the Declaration Of Independence

The doctrines and sentiments of the Declare
ton OF Independence, were, in JeffersoR's and
In Jacksons time, regarded as the doctrines and
sentiments of true Democracy.
1t appears, however, that modern expeunders
and Champions of Democracy think otherwise,
thus proving that their Democracy is different
thing from the Democracy of Jefferson and his
compeers. No less a person than John G.
breckenridge, democratic candidate for Vice
President, IN his speeches delivered during his
recent political tour Though the North, thus re-
pudiates the glorious doctrines of the immortal

CONNECTICUT zLEcT1oN-THE FACTS.

The town elections just held in Connecticut,
establish beyond a doubt that an overwhelming
majority of the people of that State are in ia
vor of Fremont. The coalition between the
Buchanan men and the +. llmore men. in behalf
of which the Hon. Erastus Brooks has labored
and is still laboring 80 jealousy, had been con-
summated 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 par
ties. The result has been that the coalition is
totally powerless. In the town of Madison, for
instance, out of 800 voters, only 81 were found
to sustain the B., ;haneer candidates. And in
80 towns given by the Hartford Courant, COM
prising nearly all where elections have now ia
ken place, IA give Fremont majorities, 50 Blu
clanan majorities, and are divided. Con-
trasted with the results in the same places, last
fall, the Republicans now have gained in %
towns, and the Border Ruffians in -. This has
been accomplished with n great effort the
part of the latter, and without special exertions
on the part of the former. Compared with the
vote OF last spring the aggregate gain of Free
dom in these towns is 7y000l Taking these facts
into view, We are justified in saying that at the
election in November, 10000 is the least major
ity that Connecticut will give to the standard
bearer of Freedom.--N. y. Tribune, lu inst.

STATE ELEcrIoss.-Wc give to-day all the re-
turns and reports of the results of the elections
in Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Indiana, that have
come to hand. The result in Ohio is sufficient
ly decisive to leave no chance for n dispute
The Republican majority in that State is from
10000 to 10000. In Pennsylvania the contest
is much more close. The dispatches from the
democratic head quarters in Pennsylvania claim
the State for the Buchanan ticket by six to eight
thousand. This result Is arrived at however,
without giving the figures by counties. and is
by NO means reliable. Local influences ard i'm
ported voters may have enabled the sham de-
mocracy to succeed upon their State ticket, but
in November, the result, as has heretofore al
most invariably been the case. the result will be
different. Indiana is also claimed by the Black
African Democracy. But from small portion
TT the State has returns been received; not suf-
ncient to determine the result.
Rely upon it, in November, Pennsylvania
Ohio. and Indiana, will all give their electoral
votes TO John c. Fremont.

The part Pierce is to act among the Disunionis.s

A South Carolinian writes to the Charleston
