cussd for setting that organ right. In the first
place the Republican State ticket is elected-the
Democrats having carried one, possibly two of
the members of Congress.
In the second place Connecticut is not, and new
or was thorough, out-and-out Republican
State. There are more pro-slavery voters, more
mean Democratic cotton-worshippers, more hyp-
ocritical don't-care dough faces there, than in
any other Northern State. In '4S Taylor receiv-
cd minority of her votes. In '52 she gave Pierce
5000 majority. In. '53, for Governor, Seymour,
Dem, beat Dutton, Wing, by lO,l43 majority
In '54, Ingham, DEM, beat Dutton, Anti -Nebras-
ka, by 1908 majority. Same year the Demo-
Gratis elected their entire Congressional Delega-
ton, and both branches of the Legislature. In
Sc, Ingham, DEM, beat the American Republi-
can candidate by 6,566 majority. At the last
fall election, at very full vote, the Republican
element predominated, and Fremont beat Buch-
anan by 1000 votes-Fillmore also polling o
heavy vote. s
At the election last month the fusion between
tie Know Nothings and the Administration party
was cordial and complete. In every township
where there was Fillmore vote last year, that
vote has been thrown bodily for the Slaveocracy.
Now, against this desperate and reckless COM
bination of diverse elements, the Republicans
have elected the Legislature and their whole State
ticket, with two out of four of the congressman.
The third is in doubt, and Ferry, Rep, or Bish-
op, DEM, is elected by the legality or illegaity
of two votes. If the Democratic papers can
crow and blow and trot out their roosters on such
magnificent s'victory" as this, let them at least
remember that they are cutting up their pranks
on q very narrow margin, where there is some
danger of tumbling of.
