THE CQNHRCTICUT ELECTION.


81
The largest rote ever polfed in Connecticut
when the total WIS e0,s25. The natural in
crea1o + Connecticut in fur years, a. shown
b; tables Of the vote for twenty year, past, il
about four thousand. and we have no doubt that
from three to four thousand illegal aud fraudu-
lent votes we're cast for III .Locofoco ticket On
Monday last. The largest Republican vote erer
before polfed was in 1856, when Frrmrnt had
half the natural increase. But tho largest Dem
ocratic vote evsr polled Was for Pratt in 1852;
$3.50. Allowing hllf the natural increase, aud
the legal Democratic vote would he about ~, :
600. Instead Of TINT, 48,e74 were po1ted on
Monday, another Indication that nearly four
thousand fraudulent votes were cast for that
ticket. -
The localities in which the Locofoco vote vas
increased gives smother indication of the means
employed. In all the cities the Locofoco vote
increased beyond all honest possibility. In New
Hayen the increase is 1,123-yery nearly 50 per
cent. in one year. and this in The face Of tue
regular and natural Republican increase of si9 !!
If any man thinks that this increase of 50 per
cent. is honest, let him look Ut Bridgeport,
where the Locofoco increase is about 800, az 81
per cent, Or at Hartford, where the Locofoco
increase is about 700-33 per cent. in face Of q
regular Republican gain OF 900, or at Norwich,
where the Locufoco gain ia 3o0-nearly 50 per
cent-iu face Of d large Republican gain, or at
Hiddletown, where the Loco!ocos gained nearly
zoo, aud Portland, where they gained 50 per
cent!
nll along the lines Of railroad, or routes fson
New York city, shows very accurately just
where the Wood regiment ii shoulder.hit,ers
located. And yet, in spite Of these most shame
tul and outrageous villainies, the Republicans
hare swept old Connecticut again.

How DonElas IL to be put Through.
In reply to IN article favoripg the Illinois
scnstor in the Augusta (Ga.) Constitu:toaalist,
the Savannah Republican declares it is great
mistake to suppose that the Southern States
will submit to issues got up by politicians, and
vote for Douglas under the fear Of Seward.
The Republican then goes on to ohseryo:,
"Fous~tfths Of them regard the pledges Of
Seward on the subject Of slavery quite as urob:
jectionable as The pledges Of Douglas and they
will vote for another candidate, whether their
lenders order to the contrary or not. Should
Douglas be nominated ut Charleston that other
candidate will be presented to their suffraces,
and all the whips mud spurs that Democracy has
ever invented will be powerless to drive the
people from bis support. We tell this now to
the friends Of Douglas, and gire them timely
notice to prepare Tor the contest. The people
hare 20 choice between Douglas End Seward,
and the abolition raw head and bloody bones
will Acare nobody at this lxtc day. y =
The Democrats Of The South arc The best drilled
paritsAns on earth, aud will make many saeri-
ices to tho succeas of the party but re tell
the GoaststutitAnls it il fatal mistake to sup
pose that they are insenslbls to shame, stran.
gers to principle. aud will stand anything that
may b put upon them"

Abraham Lincoln.


Eiito1s Press and Tribune:
but rather one Of the hard listed yeomanry,
nevertheless feel strong interest in the forth
coming Presidential campaign, and therefore
take the liberty to glvc you few reasons why
think Hon. Abraham Lincoln should be nom
mated.
In the Grst place, regard him as the best cx
pouent and representative Of the principles of
The Republican party Of any one among those
mined for the office. If any doubt this, let
them read his douglas discussion
Then again, he comes fresh from the people,
and would be free from all enbArrassments
which frequently attach to those who have been
1ong in office, arising from their connection
with, and their obligations to, political hacks and
party friends.
Then =gain, he is not too ultra, not too con-
scrratiEe. but ut the same time good, st1ong
Republican through and through, md il elected
would doubtless give us good Republican gov
ernment, just such Is the country needs, and
such as VIC are bound to have with good
lender in tue campaign.
. Again, believe he is capable and honest,
and if location is to hare nything to do with
tho question, he is certainly the man. If any
section Is entitled to the Office, think all will
conccde it to the great Northwest. She has
never hnd the honor nor urged her claim, but it
seems to me her time has come, aud all things
seem tending to that point. Ar L. is every way
worthy of the place, capable OF eomprehending,
mud honest enough to strive to promote, all the
great interests Of the whole country. ! firmly
bei:ere the Convention will look at these things
and act accordingly. Then, too, thepeoplc and
the press in different parts Of the country seem
to be coming to this conclusion. Every day
shows proof Of this. ! think it will be admitted
on a1l hands that there is no one among the
many designated that would be rs likely to So
cure the vo.es Of New Jersey, Indiana and ILL.,
nois as Lincoln.
With such 4 lender, and in such cause, with
a judicious selection for ice.l'resident, think
think ne shall have little to fear D.A.
