REPUBLICANIsM IN CoNNEcTICUT. The
Republicans Of Connecticut and Of Wash
ington city, says the State Sentinel, have
had Hon. F. p. Stanton addressing the
people of that State upon the political
issues of the day, since the opening of the
campaign previous to the election yester-
day. He went there with the recommen-
dation and endorsement OF Republicans,
and as the representative of Republican
principles. We copy the following extracts
from one Of his speeches, as political Gu
riasity. They demonstrate the fact that
the Republicans are willing to take any
side of the political ISSUES of the day,
from Aboitionism in its ranksst forms to
defense of slavery. to secure party sue.
cess. We commend the following defense
Of slavery by Republican. to the Goa
sideratieu of the Gordon and Hellshure
Republicans of Indiana.
Gov. Stanton says:

generalization that Mr. Baies comes fully
up to his standard of Republicanism.-
But the slight inquiry which We Instituted

State out of our own territory, and against
the admission of any foreign slave States

Also. Mr.. Bates says, in regard to the
Territories, that The National Govern

find an excuse for their defeat, though
the excuse is vastly more Gesgrace full than

that the Democrats expend what money
they thought nece ssary. or could raise,

speakers; the Republicans did the same.
That is the way these things are always
done. And the right way to accept of a
