Democratic Arguments for Connecticut


The Hartford papers publish the following list Of New
York firms who have subscribed the sums opposite their
for the purpose Of influencing the Connecticut
election :-Henrys, Smith L Townsend 45OO; H. NJ. =.

kiss, Fenner Bennett, $3.50: Charles NJ Connolly,
s25o A. Belmont, s5O0; Allen, Mclean 1 Buckley,
$3.50 Such are the arguments by which Democracy
hopes to achieve Triumph Albany journal
When party has become SO corrupt
wandered so far from principle, that to carry
an election, it becomes absolutely necessary
to apply to their political friends in an adj
joining State for funds to effect their object
and that too, when all the patronage of the
national Executive is welded in its favor,
through the great number of Post offices,
custom houses, Federal Judge-ships and mar
shals, we think as well as every honest voter,
that it cannot be far from dissolution. 1t is
palpable from the fact, that large sums have
been signed, paid over and transmitted to
Connecticut by some large mercantile hous-
es iE New York city, to effect what rotten
corrupt and worthless administration could
not accomplish by its presidential influence
Have these New York men been forced into
this measure, through the fear of loosing
Southern PATRONAGE Has Mr.. BUCHANAN,
having the fear Of the House Investigating
Committee before his eyes, been induced to
engage other agents at a distance from the
Capital, apparently having no connection
with the Federal government, to distribute
his patronage.
It matters little from whom, or where it
originated, through the firmncss and patriot
ism of the people of Connecticut, the pro-sla-
very Democracy have suffered an ignomin-
ious defeat, and lost both the executive and
Legislative departments latter by large
ly increased majority over last year. Their
thousands Of dollars are expended; time, la
Dor and immense amount of dead gas, are
gone, and all for naught. Placing the most
popular man Of their party in the State at
the head Of their ticket, who during the whole
excitement ofthe great questions which have
agitated the country the past few years, can,
like the president in the campaign Of 1856,
prove an alibi, they no doubt supposed
themselves sure Of success. Even these have
failed them.
1t matters but little to the enlightened free
men Of the North, what course the Sham De-
mocracy may think proper to pursue or what
they may use, whether it be scat
tering the money broad cast through doubt
full States, or rcsorting to unknown, and ap-
parently obscure men for candidates, to sue
coed there is yet enough inherent, patriotic
principle in the great mass Of intelligent vo-
tiers to overcome all such illegal and corrupt
practices
A few copies of Senator Stewards great
speech, on The State of the Country" will
have more influence with honest men than
all the sophistries Of Democratic buncomb, or
the glittering Democratic money.

New York Tribune on the Connecticut cleo
