connecticut Election.
Republican Triumph.

The Republicans of Connecticut emerged
from the most desperate struggle TO which
any State has been subjected. Money in
vast amount, threats of Pro-Slavery pro-
scription in their industry and its products,
mences of dissolution of the Union if not
beaten, an enormous Naturalization, and a
heavy illegal vote, mainly polled by bogus
certificates of legal residence in other towns
than those where they voted, have enlarged
the Pro-Slavery poll beyond the actual
strength of the Democracy, without avail.
Henry A. Buckingham is over one thous-
and ahead, as for as heard from, which is at
least three-fourths of the State; and the
remaining potion to be heard from cannot
reduce it. There is considerable Pro-
Slavery gain, owing partly to naturalization
and partly to fraud in Hartford, New Ha-
ven, Middletown and the adjacent stone
quarries, Derby, Bridgeport, &c, but the
Republicans strength is fully sustained in
the rural districts and and wherever the
population is native.
The Legislature is Republican. Five
Senators in the two southeastern counties
settle that branch, We hear of Republi.
can gains of Representatives in almost every
County, leaving no doubt that the House i:

excellence and superiority, as regards both
literary merit and neatness Of execution,

venile class in dancing was closed with IN
exhibition at Town Hall, on Thursday eve

ton TO the large audience assembled. The
principal feature was the ftncy dancing by
thc liltle misses. Miss NJ. Mason made q
capital beginning. Miss II. Rice executed
the "IIshland Fling" very gracefully and
in good time. Miss Sarah Mason, in the
m>st difficult steps in the "BligdndS Horn
pipe" seemed perfectly at home. Miss
Abba Brown, in Highland Fling" did
nicely. The spirit and promptitude with
which the "Iighland Fling" was executed
by Agnes Whitmore, was appreciated and
greeted by loud applause which was quiet
ed only by repetition. Miss George
Mcsser performed "BrigandS llornpipe'
with grace and precision. Edna Walker
in the "Slilors Ilornpipe' and LA Cachu-
cha" was greeted with rounds of applause.
Annie Porter, in "llighland Fling" did cap
tally The "Highand Fling by Misses
Messer, Mason, and Walker, in costume,
was a very nice affair. The young gen
tlemen also performed their parts in an ex-
cellcnt manner, and reflect much credit on
their instructor. The entertainment as a
whole. was well worthy of commentator

Land that it is possible to obtain short o
