ag'The Annual Election in this State takes place two weeks from next Monday; and though we have
 not felt called upon to devote very large portion of our columns to partisan appeals, we look upon the election of great national importance. The issues are very simple and people generally are as fully persuaded as for whom they should vote, as if col ,mns of argument were presented to them through the press. Shall the present National Administra-
 on be sustained in it's slavery extending policy shall that policy be repudated by the Free men Of Connecticuts That is the question. Elect Republ- can Members of Congress and you place your seal of condemnation on Lecomptonism, Cuba Stealing and the revival of the Slave Trade Elect democratic Members, and you give at least quasi approval of these projects True, the democratic party in Con- necticut are not quite ready to openly endorse the latter measure but the only hopeof the revival of that world-condemned traffic is through the contin- ued ascendency of that party in the National Coun cils.
 The democratic papers are entleavoring to draw of the attention of the people from the national is sues to State expenses, but it is lame and mpotcnt shift. The expenses in this State have increased within few years from we'll understood causes bav- '"s "o Soi'een "i''i pa anu iie IS a mere dcm sgogue who undertakes to make party capital from such source The State Legislature is the only body which reform abuses in State affairs Every dollar that has been expended has been taken from the Treasury by virtue of laws passed by the Legs- iature and voted for by members of all parties If therefore the people want economy in our State af- fairs, reduction in judicial expenses, and dscon- tnuance of grants to benevolent and reormatory in stitutions they must elect Senators and Represen- tatives who will carry out their wishes in these re- spects. But the effort of W illiam D. Bishop to get votes for Congressman on the ground of extrava- gance in State legislation, is simply rilicuens and
 only intended to draw off the attention of the peo- from his misdeeds at Washington. There are few, we trust, who will be deceived by such sophistry.

By far the most important news from
Europe. since the intelligence Of the declara-
ton of war, is that contained in this morn
lDg's paper, which was brought to Quebec,
on Saturday last, by the steamer Anglo.
Saxon, and which brings the dates from
Europe down to the sth Of June.
The Austrians evacuated Sardinia be-
tween the LIST and 18th OF June, and the allied
army. pursuing them, crossed the Ticino,
into Lombardy; on the 4th Of June, at the
village Of Magenta, about 20 miles from
Milan, the chief city Of Lombardy, the first
great combat Of the campaign took place.
1t is reported that from $50 to 10000
Austrians, and 10000 French and Sar-
dinians were engaged in the battle; the
former were commanded by Field Marshal
Hess and the latter by the French Emperor
in person. The French and Austrians
accounts differ as to the'result. NAPOLEON
telegraphs to Paris, that his army took 1000
prisoners, three cannon and two standards !;
but the number Of Austrians killed and dis
abled is variously stated in the steamers
news at from 10000 to $4,000. The Aus
trian accounts assert several battles were
fought, with various success on both sides.
1t is evident however, from the fact that the
latter have abandoned Milan, the largest
city in their possession in Italy, that the
French have achieved great victory. The
loss of life on both sides has been immense

Republican meeting in Cincinnati, an ac-

of Tuesday, that il was only
"A meeting Of Know Nothngs Of Cine innat

the Republican State ticket. and particularly
for the defeat Of the Republican candidate for
the Supreme Judge, on account Of his presumed
antagonism to the detestable Fugitive Slave

The principal speaker at that meeting
was Mr.. LEWIS ID. CAMPBELL, a prominent
Republican Of Ohio, a delegate to the late
State Convention, and for four or Eve years
regarded as the parliamentary leader Of the
Republicans in the National House Of Rep
representatives.. Mr.. CAMPBELL was a COM

War.

The New York Courier and Enquirer in
discussing the effects Of the European war
upon the business interests of this country,
expresses the opinion that they can be moth.
ing but healthful II assumes what is unde-
niable:-
LIST. That war will lessen produ c,ion in
the countries where it RACES, and that the
deficiency must be supplied from the crops
Of the United States.
ID. That war will not lessen the number
OF ships required to transport our produce
to Europe; and if not, how is the shipping
interest to suffer from war?
Sd. That it is equally certain that war
cannot lessen the demand for that which We
do not send abroad while it is quite posi-.
bic. if not probable, that the foreign pro.
duction Of manufactured goods may greatly
diminish, and thus the price Of our own fab.
