KNOCKING THEN RIGHT AND LEFT-The Con-
necticut agent for sending news by telegraph
to =" the Associated Press" true to his anti
Democratic party instincts, day or two ago
misrepresented the position of the Hon. Mr..
Pratt, the Democratic nominee for Governor,
on the Lecompton Constitution question
intimating, in perhaps a hundred newspa-
pers-to be copied into thousand more
that his head is sore-that he is an absquatu-
lator. fortunately, We caught a glimpse of
his dispatch in question before inserting it in
the Star, and took duo care to expose his mis-.
representation of Mr.. P.'s politcal position.
The following extract from the New York
Tribune shows that this effort to misrepresent
to the country the fact that the Connecticut
Democracy are true to their political princi-
pies, was, in effect, just what We pronounced
it to be on publishing it:
The Democracy of Connecticut held a State
Convention at New Haven yesterday and nomi
mated the following ticket for
Governor-James Pratt Hartford
Lieut.. GOvernor-John Cotton Smith Sharon
Secretary of State-F Williams, jr, Ston nyton
Treasurer-Daniel B. Warner, East Haddam.
Controller.Peleg G. Child, Woodstock

uepdte tne Lecomptonites carried the day, the
resolutions Were recommitted, and after having
been tortured into an approval of Mr. Buchanan's
policy, were forced through under the operatjon
OF the previous question. Election day will dis
close the existence Of some " ishy Democrats"
to use one of the organs elegant phrases in Con-
necticut, II we are not mistaken
The point of the result of the effort to seduce
the Connecticut Democratic State Convention
from their allegiance to Democratic principles,
Is involved in the fix" in which it leaves Mr.
Douglas and his fellow absquatulators The
Democracy of but three Northern States have
spoken formally and officially upon the LIE.

York in their recent town elections, and those
of Pennsylvania and Connecticut in their SUBJ
sequent State Conventions; each in 80 doing
striking stunning blow against the position
occupied by the sore-headed ones, in earnestly
standing by the National Administration and
the Democracy of Congress
We have private letter from Kalamazo,
Michigan, the residence of Senator Stuart, from
an observing and reliable gentleman, assuring
us that the mischief that gentleman managed
to do at home before the people could properly
understand the subject, is already almost en-
hrely undone. Thousands there, our CORES
