The Administration ia more than surprised, il is
positively shocked. at the result in Connecticut.
Mr. TOucey csnnOt account for Il, after all the as
surances he received. and communicated To the
President promising at least that the Democracy
should hold their own, and probably gam 10 the
Congressional representation. In the midst OF TINS
tIibuatOn, however, the Secretary OF the Navy
takes comfort l. himself in the fact that be - no
worse off than the rest Of his colleagues. Penn
sylyana has repudiated Buchanan aud Black.
Michigan long ago, turned her back on the yenera-
bic Gen Cass. The Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor in Virginia avOwedly REJECTS the whole policy
of the Administration. which, of course ia very
comforting to Mr. Floyd. In Kentucky, the rank
and file OF the party, and not few OF the leaders,
take sides With Douglas against Buchanan, and
thus contribute their support 10 the new Post
master. General. Dir. Cobb is sustained ia tue
left handed way in Georgia, where Stephens,
TO0mbs, aud the principal managers proclaim
that the Administration has ruined the party. In
Mississippi, Gov. Brown and Others have exhibited
their attachment by assaliGg the imbecllity and
worse than that-Ibe dotage OF the President
doubtless, much to the qualification OF Mr.. Secreta
~ Thompson.
Under these circumstances, Mr. Toucey walks
into Cabinet Council with proud crest, asserting
that they are all in the same boat, aud with a san
quine promise that all will yet come right. hese
gentlemen take the world easy, and draw their pay
monthly The only thing which really grIeyes
them is the prospect OF being cut of IN twenty-five
months and twenty five days. Some of them took
in sail last Winter, in view OF this tOrcshadOwed
doom: for the houses Of Mr Cobb aud Mr. Toucey
were virtually closed, while those OF some OF their
colleagues were 0nly half opened. The whole con-
Germ will b. apt to put society on short com
mons next session. and turn the oi rctrench-
ment AZ home.
Judge Douglas did not exhibit his usual ssgacity
in uniting his fortunes with the sinking ship IN
| Connecticut. Wise rats usually run from such
craft but be- seems 20 have run after It, and got
pretty well ducked for his pains. He ought to
know by this time that letter-writng Is not pro-
ftable business, even to those who pursue it pro-
| frssionally. and q most dangerous experiment 10
political outsiders. Ii he did not want To speak, as
was very manifest, il was only necessary 10 hold his
I tongue and plead the occasion which called HIN 10
Washington as aneXcuse for lodging rash promise.
| But Ia put his sympathy for the Ioucey party on
| record was very much like his first appearance IN
| the Democratic caucus after returning from the
South, when he voluntarily went To hOb-nob with
! the men who had deliberately Inundated and de-
! graded him from the Craftsmanship of the Commit
tee on Territories, aud without administering one
word of rrbuke. That letter will yet rise up in
| Judgment against him, and will not propitste one
