dent that it will be not less than 5000 ''if the
dav is fair" The New York Evening Post
says I'VE have been permitted to copy the
following extract from private letter, written
by a gentleman in Hartford, Conn.,, who is
well versed in the politics of that state =
With regard to our prospects can only now
say that they are bright If Connecticut is
aroused she is always right. Her reserved
force is seldom drawn out, but is sure for free
dom and justice when once in the field. Al
ready the entire state is in arms. Our vote
will be unusually large, and we shall doubtless
give larger republican majority than hitherto
since the Fremont campaign. Our Governor
was elected last year by about eighteen hun
dred majority. This year he will have proba-
bly, not less than twenty-five hundred, possibly
three to four thousand.

The Globe has now reached us, from which
we learn that Mr. Dawes was present, but did
not vote, because he was paired with Mr.. Web
ster of Maryland. He announced this fact to
the House, and added :-"Otherwise should
vote in the affirmative" that is, for the resolu-
ton. Every other Massachusetts member
voted for it excepting Mr.. Thayer of this dis
trict, who voted against it. 1t was merely a
resolution of inquiry, with preamble. The
question made no call for vote either for or
