 The Convention at New Haven on Wednesday last, was;the largest and most enthusiastic which has been held in the State of Connecticut, since the organization of the Republican Party, and the confidence of success was never more univer sally expressed by delegates from every direction Although Gov. BUCKINGHAM had signifed his de. sire to retire to private life, the wish tc re renominate him was so manifest, that Judge FOSTER, who was the only other individual named for the office, magnamiously requested to have his name withdrawn before any ballot was taken, and Gov. Buckingham was nominated by accla- nation, as Judge FOSTER doubtless will be at no distant day. Connecticut has never hada worth fer or more popular chief Magistrate, than WM A. BUCKINGHAM, and We cannot doubt his tri umphant reelection by a larger majority than at any previous contest.
 There was strong desire expressed by many members of the Convention, for the re- nomination of all our present State officers, who have dis. charged their duties with entire acceptance; but the withdrawal of the New Haven candidate for Governor, induced the maj ajority of the Convention to gratify the delegates from that city, in the no- ination of Mir. Trowbridge for Lieut.. Governor. but for which, Mr. Catlin would doubtless have been re-nominated; and he and his friends will not attribute the result to any want of confidence in him. After the ticket was completed. Mr. Irowbridge sent iii note declining the honor, If brought forward under irresistible circumstances, and nominated almost by exclamation.
 The State does not contain purer, or more universally esteemed citizen, than BENJAMIN DOUGLAS. A well known manufacturer he has ever commanded the love and confidence of his employees and of all his neighbors He will give strength to the ticket in Middlesex, the darkest county in the State, and increase the confidence of our friends in the second Congressional Dis trict, in the reelection of honest John Woodruff.
 J. HAMMOND TRrMBULL, the nominee for Sec retary of State, is better acquainted with the du- ties of that station, than any other man in the State, having been for many years the Clerk and for one year, we believe, the encumbent of the office.
 The candidate for Comptroller, LEHMAN W. CUTLER, Esq, is too we'll known throughout this county to require any notice from US. In every station to which he has been called, by his im- mediate constituents, he has been found faithful and true; and to the duties of the important po- sition to which he is now to be elected. he will we are well persuaded, give his personal atten- tion, and allow no drafts on the public treasury which are not maniGestly just.
 MT. Dean was the only name presented from the ever-true county of Windham, which is sue tcient guarantee of competence and fidelity.
 On the whole the ticket is yery strong one, and a long pull, strong pull, and pull alto geher," will ensure its triumphant election by an unprecedented majority.
 The Hon. ORRls s. FERRY has been nomua ted for reelection to Congress from this District as will be seen by the report in another column, without the formality of a ballot By his fidelity to Republican principles, Mr. F. has secured the entire confidence of the Republican party in his District, as he has of the friends of Freedom throughout tue nation. Probably, no member of congress from New England, has stood higher in the esteem of his associates, at the close of his nrst term, or given better evidence of profound s'atesmanship. And if in the present unantici paed and perilous crisis of our national affairs. some ot his constituents may differ with him, as to some measures of public policy, none doubt his aetermlnation to do what he conscientiously be. hevesto be RIGHT. His reelection, by a major ity unprecedented in the districts scarcely be doubted.
 Messrs. Loonis and Woodruffhave been unan. mously nominated for reelection to Congress, from the lst and 2d districts. Both districts are close, but we are assured by our friends that the prospects in each is better than in lS59 May the result show that their confidence is well- founded
