"A gentleman in Hartford, Conn.,, who is well
yersed in the politics Of that State, writes:
"With regard 10 our prospects can only now say
that they bright. II Connecticut is aroused she is
always right. Her reserved force is seldom drawn
out, but lie sure for freedom and justice when once IN
the field. Already the eDt re State is IN arms. Our
vote will be unusually large, and we shall doubtless
give larger Republican majority than hitherto since
The Fremont campsign. Our Governor was elected
last year by about 800 majority. This year he will
have probably not lees than 2, 800 possibly 900 TO
4,OOO'

mencing on the Goth, have secured private buildng
at $780, be the time longer shorter where they are
going to furnish their own liquor cigars and BARRIERS,
which will save fifty cents for each drink and shave
and twenty five cents for each cigar, making, no
doubt, big item in the aggregate. The Bourbon, I"
the real double "B and the "LoDgworth," have al
! ready gone on from Cincinnati The Charleston con-
spirators will have to come down shilling shave
and smoke, and a dime nip" or shut up shop.
The Times correspondent, writing of the Rhode
Island election, Gays " the Republicans have the
best speakers and should nudge the best organization.
Elisha Smith, the able Chairman of the State Commit
ee s at the head of the working forces He has dis
ributed of the speeches of Seward Wilson, and Lin
con over Is 600 copies and, with HE assistants works
daily early and Late disseminating documents receiv-
ing reports, &C. Both sides talk pretty hard about
each other. The Republicans do not hesitate to say
openly that its mere matter Of dollars and cents with
tie Democrats; and Mr.. Byron Sprsgue, in speaking
of the rpous tendencies of the principles of the Repub
can party stated that the rule of that party in this
State had cost the calico printers the Spraguesl
| $4,000, and they mean to get It back. The
Democrats accuse Padeford of being Abolitionst,
of ndorsDg the Helper book and of advising offensive
measures against the South. To this the Republicans
set upa general denial and follow it NJ by stating
that while the law which makes ten hours day legal
working time is in full force Sprague makes his men
work tire quarters Of hour longer, aud that he
would like to keep them twelve or fourteen hours
day; also, that in the villages or towns where his
works are, he won't allow the men to keep cows, but
compes them to buy their milk at the Company
| stores"
| The Herald lie engaged in rubbing down
Judge Douglas gently as possible, Judging /. dan
gerous to curry him rough any longer, and thereby
drive him into the Opposition ranks. 1t accordingly
terms him brilliant man. experienced statesman,
strong campaigner and one of the real representa-
tive minds which give the republic its force and indi-
viduaty Of character. He would have made capital
President, and we would have supported hm with
