bred msoriy for the tools Of the Slave Power, aud
though American" and "Od-Line Wing" c,nii-
dates have been put up wherever it was deemed
possible thus to damage the Republicans, We feel
sure that the Republican msjOrity Of twenty-five
Hundred last year, cannot now be reduced, much
less overcome. The Republican State Ticket, and
Republican majority in the Legislature are safe
enough; but each Congress District is desperately
fought, and-owing to personal and local dstrac-
tions-no one is absolutely certain. We hope for
the election Of the Republican candidate in every
District, and believe Messrs. Ferry and Durham
cannot be beaten, while We consider Mr..
Woodfun's chance in the New Haven District fully
even with that of his opponent, and Nj Loouiss
in the Hartford District more than even. Bu.
everything depends on the energy and system with
which the vote shall be drawn out to day. There
are al least Forty Two Thousand Republican voters
this day in the State: if all but One THOUSAND of
them come to the polls and vote, we shall carry all
four Of the Members; if but Forty thousand vote,
We shall probably lose one; if Three Thousand
stay at home, we may lose two. Worse than that,
We consider impossible But the Good Cause calls
on Connecticut to elect all four Of the Republican
candidates; she can do it, and We hope she will.
From what we observed and heard in Fairfield
County last week, we believe thst county will give
Ferry more votes than it gave Fremont in So
when he polled 6 233 in the County and 42,7lJ IN
the State, beating Buchanan BY 1870 plurality and
having 5, l05 majority over all. The Pro-Slayery
vote will probably be increased 900 from the
Fillmore Americans, 1900 by Naturalization, and
LEGO by increase Of native population, raising i.
at the outside to Thirty.nine Thousand. The poll
on each eide may be lower than We have estimated
because Of the canvass being less animsted IN the
East than in the West; but if Fairfield County is
fair type Of the whole State, we think the total
vote cannot vary much from Forty two Thousand
Republican TO Thirty nine Thousand Sham Demo
cratic, with something less than One Thousand
thrown away on splits and bogus Candidates.
stormy day might somewhat decrease these aggte-
gates, but not very essentially. The State has
been very thoroughly canvassed on all sides, and,
even if rain were to pour al day, the vote would
be tie heaviest ever cast at Connecticut State
Election.
A citation will show the inscription, despers-
ton with which the canvass is conducted on the
tide of Slavery. A casual correspondent who was
at Savannah, Georgia, a few days since, wrote US
letter on Lamar the pioneer of the new African
Shye.Trade, in which he expressed his opinion
that
The time is fast approaching when the cry will
become too overpowering 10 resist Rather than toe-
rate National Slavery ss nov exists, leg the Cnon
be dissolved az on,e and then the sin OF Slavery VIII
rest where it belOngs.'
This is an opinion which any one has per(ec.
right to entertain, and, though re have never en-
tertsined it, We have allowed Northern as well a.
Southern disunionists q hearing through our col
umns, controvertng their views, but not deeming
il necessary or wise 70 suppress them. The Hart
ford Times, however, seizes on the above passage,
prefsces it with the utterly groundess falsehoOd
that il is al letter TO THE TRIBUNE
" from one of its writers-s man cent from THE
TRIBUNE office 10 Georgia 70 write al exaggerated
account Of q slaves ale,

In State where intelligence was less gen.
orally dfuseJ, such shameless lying might produce
an effect; it will be pOwerless in Connecticut.
But what faith or credit can the People give 70 the
representations, on other points, OF journal which
impudently falsifes matter Of s1ch general noto-
riety a. ths' Who does no. know that We mean
to stay in the Union until long after Slavery shall
have died out Of it Ia conmumation which we
shall do our best TO promote. To dissolve the
Urion in order 10 abolish Slavery would be Ike
making the Five Points "a independent munich
pality in order TO get rid Of deb.uchery. Freedom
and Morality can both do better as we are.
If there be single Connecticut eleetor who
shall not have voted when be reads this article we
entre.t him to lose 4 time il so doing. A single
vote may choose Member of Congress, aud that
choice may determine tie organization o. the
