fort and yelling like so many Indians. Mean

CoNNECTIOUT DEMoCRArGo CONVENTION
The state convention Of the Breckenridge
wing of the Democratic party Of Connecticut,
at Middlotown, Wednesday, was pretty full
in numbers, with some remarkable features.
Greene Kendrick Of Waterbury, an old whig,
presided The old Democratic leaders made
no speeches, and the candidates for office
made none The resolutions are proiessedly
jealous for the war and devoted to the Union,
but they lay the entire blame of the ditiicui-
ties on the North, censure almost all the do
ings OF the government, and ask that the reb-
els shall be received back with fresh guaran-
tees for slavery News Of the federal victory
at Roanoke Island was received, but the pres
ident of the convention did not disturb the
sympathies of the meeting by reading it or
stating its substance The state ticket OF last
year was re-nominated, with the exception OF
Col Hazard of Enfield for lieutenant govern
or. He, it is said, was ashamed to stand.
The ticket is as follows;
For Goyemor--James O. Loomis Of bridgeport
Lieutenant Gayernof--Chatles f. Pond Of Hartford
Secretary of Staten B Stevens Of Norfolk
Compuoler-Homee Taylor Of Vernon.
Treasurer-T II G. Kngsbury Of Franklin.
