Conriectic,,t An Trial.

A real Down-East Connecticut Yankee C generally represented on the stage and regas1sd throughout the SlaveholdiDg States as aremaske ble compound of shrewdness, impotence and meanness-a creature who would sell his wife CT his sister or his native land for . handful or gold He has no convictions, no generous h. :stincts and if he professes any faith whether m religion or politics, it is only that he may swindle little more extensively. adroitly CT safely He has no soul but gizzard. vesy close grained no devotion but plenty of snunle; and 1e slngs Methodist hymns through his nose in eahaea' deals faro in California. breaches free he:rolsm Tn Ohio, or sells shackles and slave whips' norm Hints and basswooI pumpkin seeds m Aiaoama' according to the profit to be n sls py eitner operation. On the whole, having biN weather eye occasionally .squinting towards hing fr four shillings per day rather than the revii'S for four and-six but if the devil should advance his price sixpence, of course he would take the odds.
 From the beginning of the present eou.es.- the Sham Democracy of Connecticut have aeted as though they believed this estimate o1 inc the Yankee character by their brethren out oC the State perfectly just one. Thus they raispd the cry that the South was withholding as q withdrawing her patronage from the wOTkshOss of their State. with evident intent to excite the
 
 they sent an agent to Washington to indues the Southern Members of Congress to impel their constituents to withhold their orders from Con necticut factories and workshops until after the State Election. Thus the Republican emp1oges' of the most extensive manufacturer Of arms in the State were discharged almost entirely few weeks since. Thus the cry has been kept Hp for months that the carriage-manuEactu of Con- necticut. especially those known as Republicans were losing all their Southern orders, when in fact they never before received so many or,iers in the first quarter of any year as they have re- ceived since this year opened and large rrO- portion of them come from the South. The Southern merchants. with scarcely an exception. have bought their carriages and other goods Of those who would afford them what they wanted on the most favorable terms just as ConneCtt cut has bought her Cotton. Rice and Tobacco. precisely where she could buy most advsntn- geously-no questions as to politics being asked by buyer or seller in either case.
 The HernH of yesterday pursues the game Of bullying or bribing the freemen of Connecticut, as follows:
 "The jobbing-h houses of New York, from the number of 300 to 800, purchase Connecticut goods. and they sell them to the York houses. tlen i it not plain that the industrial inter. of Connecticut will be affected by the withdraw al of the Southern trade! and in point Gf fat, do not the Connecticut manufacturers already feel the loss, and have they not been agitatibz . Conservative movement for the purpose Of re- storing confidence to the South? But confidence is not restored to the South, and will not be- til it is accomplished by q revolution at the ballot box. How is this to be done? Not by the ,eeches of Caleb Cushing nor even Of Mayor Wood, though they may do good iB their way. bat by the three or four hundred jObbing hOus@s i New York. In what way? By sending Ut their confidential agents, not to make speeches. nor to make their appearance in public in any shape or form but to visit the manufacturers pri- vately. and represent to them the common ruin that awaits the industrial interests of COnneeti- cut and the trade of New York if the Southern custom, which has so much declined should be altogether withdrawn in consequence of the e. sstence of the New England states in ther hos tility to the institutions Uf the South. TLe o. Dlng houses of this city ought to hold q Ir.saie meeting, and dispatch their trusty agents tO make this appeal to the pockets. which. if properly mz- cd will be stronger than any argument that eaa be offered on the side of ianaticism.
 Thus the manufacturing interest, with the q and under the influence of the New York jOl- bing houses can control the election, cary the seymour ticket next month. ard Lreak the cor ,n of New England states, which stood tOzsiI- G. for Rcpu!iicamism and in hostile st;ltmIe against the rights of the S0uth Such I.uEpI of the conservative ticket in April would be t,.s earn st of victory in the same state next fall"
