Connecticut and Rhode Island.

The result of the elections held this week in the above
States rather puzzles political cacuators and inter
feres somewhat with the working Of the political wires
especially with reference to the nominations OF the
Democratic and Republican Conventions.
We fear the thing may be set down pretty certain
that the New England States are gone over bag and
baggage to the Republicans Aboltionists or what
ever other name the opponents of National Democracy
may assume or have applied to them.
It is evident that Mr.. Seward and his friends have
made up their minds that the time has arrived for push
ing that gentemans Claims and they will hardly
sent again to have these claims postponed or put aside
His speech in the Senate at once bid, and mani
1esto 1t attempt to smooth down the aspertes
of his irrepressibIe conflict" doctrines and speeches.
while at the time it was proclamation of his
wish to command the Republican forces in person.
Mr. Seward be indeed forced off the track he will 60 re-
lucany and nothing but the pressure of circumstances
too strong to be resisted will be sufficient to induce
him to acquiesce in any programme cast of charac
tiers which does not assign to himself the leading part in
the Republican drama.
The close vote in Connecticut and the defeat of ultra
Republicansm in Rhode Island, while they cannot be
regarded as Indicating the existence of that conservative
reaction in favor of the South of which much has
been sad still show that the sectional sms of which
Mr.. Seward is the exponent may he pushed too far for
success and that therefore, there may be doubts of the
policy of bringing out that Senator least the condemna-
ton measurably awarded to of his doctrines might
be melted out to himself Mr. Stewards chances for the
Chicago nomination have been rather damaged by the
recent elections.
On the other hand, the peculiar friends of Judge
Douglas have been pressing it upon the attention of the
Southern Democrats that Mr.. D. could carry several
Northern States, and among them some even from New
England. The elections held this week in Connecticut
and Rhode Island hardly strengthen that view of the
case nor is their result calculated to promote Mr. Doug
