Connecticut.

The struggle in Connecticut was the Lexing-
ton Of the campaign for 1850, and nobly has it
been won. The Democrats wanted to carry
one of the New England States, and the
''land of steady habits" was their only hope.
The New York merchants, or that class Of
them who toady to the South for the sake Of
securing Southern trade, contributed $50, ooO
to carry this election for the Democrats, and
federal office holders contributed much more.
The manufacturing interests Of the State were
appealed to on selfish grounds, and told that,
unless they voted the pro-slavery Democratic
ticket, there would be no more Southern
demand for their productions. But all such
base appliances failed. The Republicans
stood up manfully to their principles, appeal
ing only to the intelligence of the people and
their sense of justice. They have elected
their Governor and majority in both branches
Of the Legislature, thus securing, Also a U. 5.
Senator. The triumph is decisive and COM
plete, and will encourage the friends offreedom
all over the Union.

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April z-P. n.
At a meeting of the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee, Mr.. Phelps submitted resolution for
a single route on the 3Sth parallel, with the
condition that, if this was not accepted, the
road should not go south of the 35th or north
of the 4lst. Mr.. Kellogg proposed an amend
ment embodying Mr.. Curtis proposition
substantially as the base, with some modii.
cations. Winter Davis offered proposition
laying down three points as descriptive of the
general direction of a road, namely: St.
Joseph, Bridger's Pass and San Francisco,
with the model. Of bill to incorporate COM
pany to build a road. After discussing the
various plans, the Committee adjourned till
tomorrow evening, with the understanding
that decisive vote should be taken on a
route and general plan.
Dispatches have been received from Capt.
jarvis, at the Navy Department, enclosing
communications addressed TO him by the
commanding officers of the French and Span
ish ships of war at Vera Cruz inquiring
under what law Of nations he captured the
Mexican steamers. He declined giving any
reply, but referred them to the authorities
here for an answer. This question is likely
to prove embarrassing hereafter, because the
administration now claims the same right
which was emphaticaIly denied when
claimed by England in the Gulf two years

TIE OUTSIDERS AT CHARLESTON. - The
people of Charleston look upon the outsiders
likely to assemble in that city, about the 2Sd
of April, as pack Of ragamuffins and thieves.
The Charleston Nevs, referring to the National
Democratic Convention, states that, "During
the presence of that promiscuous crowd, the
private doors of Charleston will never have
been so tightly shut and carefully guarded as
then. She will confer more watching upon
the 'camp-followers' who have come to swarm
at the National Convention" This is pretty
conclusive evidence that the people Of the
South look upon the demagogues of the North
as unworthy of confidence. They have no
faith in the moral honesty of their political
brethren at the North, who expatiate so
eloquently about "the constitutional rights OF
the South"

DOUGLAS OR DEFEAT. - The Dubuque
Herald, of the 2sth ult., gives the world to
understand that the Democratic party must
take Douglas at Charleston, or be whipped.
Hear it:
"Without the aid from Northern Democrats,
the South must inevitably accept a Republican
President on the 4th Of March, 1861; and
Northern Democrats can do nothing cannot
carry a single Northern state-~ith0ut the
Cincinnati Plattosm and Stephen a. Douglas
az a candid1ts. 1t may be narrowing the
chances down to single one, yet it is never
theless true. Northern Democrats, who are
conversant with the people, feel and know
that without this chance, not a Northern State
can be carried for the Democratic ticket.
Will our brethren of the Southern States give
us this single chance? We shall see."

The game of "Disunion'' having failed
to frighten the North, Southern men begin to
talk openly of the object of this cry. A
Washington correspondent of the Charleston
Is. C.) Courier says: "The truth is that
Disunion, out of South Carolina, and few
earnest spirits here and there in the Gulf
States, is mere game of politicians. 1t is a
raw head with which they nope to brighten
the inevitable Yankees from Selling on their
share of the public spoils." But the ''inevit-

1tappears that Barclay Coppockis in Ohio,

month. The authorities Of Virginia will now
have to negotiate for his arrest with Gov

of the execution of Stevens and Hazlett, by
those who sympathized with those misguided

known as John Brown, Jr.-who is reported
in the Jefferson Sentinel as follows:
"John Brown, Jr., rose and said that Mr.

aggravated of late, by exposure, while on his

business, not in the State of Virginia, but in
Maryland. Virginia was now on the track
of these fugitives; had pursued young

of Quakers, where, among non-reslstants, NJ

In executive session, last evening, Lieut..
Gov. Rusch was confirmed as resident Com.
missioner of Emigration in the city of New
York. Every one, l think, will agree with
me that the Lieut. Governor has made most
excellent choice. The people of our State do
not yet perceive tho Importance of this Com
mission. Its fruits will be an increase of
population, q more rapid development of our
resources, and new source of revenue.
Wisconsin has for several years reaped the
benefit of such Commission-let Iowa now
be her rival No man in our State is better
qualified to give emigrants such information
of our soil and climate as Gov. R. His
familiarity with the continental languages
gives him another advantage.
Yesterday afternoon, the ladies of this city
sent in an inquiry as to whether the members
of the Legislature could attend a supper that
night, to which both houses replied, certainly
If invited" The invitation was then
brought in, to the reception Of which Gen.
Bowen moved "three hearty cheers for the
ladies of Desmoines," which was heartily
seconded and concurred in. At 10 o'clock
last evening, the members, officers, reporters,
&C., repaired to the Supreme Court and State
Library Rooms, and placed themselves around
the Widespread tables of abundance. 1t is
unnecessary to say that justice-ay eminent
justice - was done to the viands in the
Supreme Court Chamber. Not only die
members fill their stomachs, but Other
members walked and stalked about, with huge
pieces Of cake, chicken, &C., peering out O
capacous side pockets, which some sly was

After supper, the fun-loving repaired t.

speeches were made, and Senator Patterson

ladies were present, as they were below at tn

extraordinary phenomenon, and that was tn
sobriety of every member of the Genera
Assembly. believe am correct in sayin,
that not one was under the influence of intox
icating liquors, the last and closing night of
laborious session of an Iowa Legislature. 1t
labors are now at an end. Many things hav
been carefully and dispassionately considered
but defeated; others, but more numerous

have passed be faithfully tried, and let future
Legislatures amend and enact only wher
these are found to be deficient and impracti
cable in their workings.

ofyour readers for any incorrectons, plumbers

Trouble in the Democratic Camp

Trouble in the DemOcraticC Camp.
A. H. Palmer, we'll Democrat and
federal Office holder, comes out in the Council
Bluffs Bugze of the 21st ult., in two-column
article in relation to the recent Democratic
State Convention. He was delegate from
Pottawattomie county. He says:
"Being convinced, at an early stage of the
Convention, that its action was pre-deter-
mined, and that all elaboration, touching
those matters which were to initiate for good
or evil to the Iowa Democracy, was completely
forestalled, and not relishing the position thus
assigned to delegates who went there to
deliberate and act for the good of the party
alone, quietly withdrew, before the voting
for delegates commenced
Mr.. Palmer does not like the resolution
adopted by the Convention, endorsing the
Cincinnati Platform, when interpreted SIN
accordance with the opinions Of Stephen 4.
Douglas" and says that "every intelligent
Democrat will agree with me that, by this
attempted Interpretation, the Democratic
Convention of this State has virtually cut
odritt from tile Cincinnati Platform, to float
at random wherever the opinions OF one man
may lead them"
He further says that the Secretary of the
Convention, in saying that the resolutions
were unanimously adopted, is guilty OF
''palpa5le and gross misrepresentation-to use
the mildest terms required by personal
courtesy. Mr.. P. SAYS some other pretty
severe things in relation to the action of the
Convention, and concludes that the Democracy
have placed themselves in very ridiculous
position, in which opinion he is about right.
