CONNECTICUT on TRIAL.

CONNECTICUT ON TRIAL.
A real Down-East Connecticut Yankee is gen.
orally represented on the stage and regarded
throughout the Slaveholding States as remarkable
compound of shrewdness, impudence, and mean
ness-s creature who would sell his wife or bis sis
| ter or bis native land for handful ef gold. He
bas convictions, no generous instincts; and IL ne
processes any faith, whether in religion or politics.
it is only that he may swinde little more extern
sively, adroitly, or safely. lie has no soul but
gizzard, very closegraned; no DEVOTION but plenty
of snuffle; and he sings Methodist hymns through
| his nose in Canada, deals faro in California,
breaches ee-neerOism in Ohio or sells shackles
and slave whips, horn flints and Eastwood pumpkin
seeds in Alabama, according to the profit to be
made by either operation. On the whole, having
his weather eye occasionally squirting toward king
dem come he would prefer to do Gods work for
four shillings per day rather than the Devils for
four-and-six; but if the devil should advance his
price sxpence, of course he would take the odds.
From the beginning of the present contest, the
Sham Democracy Of Connecticut have acted 10
though they believed this estimate of the Yankee
character BY their brethren out of the State per-
fecty just one. Thus they raised the cry that the
South was Withholding and withdrawing her pat
ronage from the workshops of their State, with
evident intent to incte the prescription they pro-
claimed or predicted. Thus they cent an agent to
Washington to induce the Southern Members Of
Congress TO impel their constituents to withhold
their orders from Connecticut factories and work
shops until after the State Election. Thus the Re
publican employees of the most extensive manu-
facturer Of arms in the State were discharged
almost entirely few weeks since. Thus
the CRY has been kept up for months that the
carriage manufacturers OF Connecticut, especially
those known az Republicans, were losing all their
Southern ORDERS when in fact they never before re-
ceived so many orders in the frat quarter Of any
year as they have received since this year opened;
and large proportion 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 Con-
necticut has bought her Cotton, Rice anu Tobacco,
precisely where she could buy most advantsgeously
no questions as to politics being asked by buyer
OF seller in either care.
The Hcrold of yesterday pursues the game Of bull
lying or bribing the freemen of Connecticut, as fol-

We know that the Democrats of Connecticut
long since boosted that they had been provided
with all tho money they wanted or could proft,bly
use. Nobody need be told that such subscriptions
AZ the above can be used in but one way, and that
way which morality, democracy, sndlaw, unite IN
