THE CONNECITCIJT FTFCTIoN

The returns Of the election which took place in
Connecticut Monday last, indicate the election Of
the black-republican ticket State and congressional
In the first congressional district it is estimated that
Dwight Loonis has obtained a plurality Of sixty
five votes in the second district, John Woodruh7s
plurality has reached 800 in the third Alfred A.
Durham has received plurality Of 600 votes.
Orris s. Ferry was also elected in the fourth dis
triet but by how many votes is not stated. 1t is
evident, however, that his plurality will be very
small
The means by which this result was attained
are very apparent, when it is recoected that Gid
dings, Grow, Wilson, Burlingame, and other black
republican freedom shrekers and enemies of the
constitution and the Union, canvassed that State
from the close of Congress to the day of the
election, using all the appliances of trickery and
familiar AS the case now stands, it viii be
an easy matter for the democracy of Connecticut to
reclaim the State at the next election, by judicous
and welldrected efforts. The Hartford Post states
that two hundred democrats in that city said away
from the polls, sufficient to have secured the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hyde, if they had voted. Iii perfect
ly clear then, that the defeat occasioned by the
overweenng confidence with which the democratic
party regarded the contest. The disasters of Mon
day haveaught them alesson, and we trust thatnthe
future every will do his duty, will recollect that
the result depends as much upon what each inGivid-
ual democrat do, as upon those whom they
have selected as their acknowledgements and cOnduc-
tors of the campaign.

PARAGUAY AND IT'S RESOURCES.

We publish in another column what we regard as
very interesting and important article, in view of
the recent peaceful settlement of our difficulties with
Paraguay, and the stimulus which will be communi-
Gated thereby to commerce with tina quarter of the
world. 1t is from the pen of gen le nan who has
long been connected with the diplomacy of the South
American States, and was written about the period
when the expedition under the direction of Messrs.
Gibbon and Herndon concluded its labors. 1t will
be found that the resources for trade on the Para
quay river and its afluents are almost inexhaustbe
Nature has lavshed her bounties with liberal hand
upon all that section of country, and it only remains
now for the enterprisng men of the present age to
step in and improve their advantages. .a.48 @
