The State Convention called by the Repubii- can State Committee, which was held in Hart. ford lat Tharsday, was of most harmonious and enthusiastic character, and fully answered to the most sauguine expectations of loyal men in this County sud throughout the State.
 The abstract of the proceedings; resolutions &c, will be found under the news head in this weeks paper. -. An informal caucus was held on the evening previous to the Convention at the United States Hotel, where delegates from different parts of the State gave their views upon the examination of the Union ticket: in an informal way, and the light thus thrown, enabled all to act with the best understanding in the Convention. The deiega- tion from this County expressed ise sentiment of this County as very strongly in favor ot the Uni on Nominations. .--s ..@.e. 1 We venture to say lsat more able andtdigni- fed Convention of delegates never were assem- bled in the State of Connecticut. Men from all parties were present, and acted as officers and members of the Convention. But one sentiment animated all, and that was forcibly expressed in the first and third Resolutions adopted, which were as follows: s -s-:.,. , .g,-
 Resolted, That the supreme object of all pat riotie men, at this time, should be the salvation of the nation. .r
 Rsso1ved, That this convention earnestly urges upon the administration the most vigorous pro- secution of the war, and that it employ every means necessary to speedily crush out this wick cd rebellion and restore she authority of the government over every foot of our national do- minion. And to this eud VIC unitedly pledge to it our support The other resolutions will also commend them. selves heartily to every loyal man.
 The Nominations were made with hearty and spontaneous unanimity, and the ticket presented is one which in every respect is unexceptionable and against which there is not shadow of a shade of doubt as to it's high character as whole or fthe qualifications ofeach member of it for the position to which they will be called by the peo pie, and none whatever as to their loyalty and devotion to their Country, and to the cause in which all loyal men are engaged.
 The course of the Convention in adopting the ticket nominated by the Union Convention on the 9th of January, we are sure, will meet the hearty response of every Constituency of which the delegates to the Republican Convention were the representatives, and no where more heartily and unanimously than in Litchfeld County.
 Those nominations in these times of war and trouble, combining all the loyal elements of the two parties in the stafe, went straight to the peo- ple's heart, and they will be ratified by an over. whelming majority at the polls in April.
 We may be as strong Republicans and as strong Democrats as ever, and when the war is over and the rebellion crushed may find new is- sues to return again to our old party predictions but selfpreservation and the safety of the Un' ion overshadowa all party issues, and should find us united, as, happily, we may all be now, on one I platform, and with one common ticket.
 We shall look for majority in this County fo, 1 the " Unien-Ropublican Nominations" not fla, from q aousand above any other ticket, and lei
 us all see to it, that by our labors in the true cause we do not give the lie to all our protesta tious. The canvas promises to be an animated one-and in it L1rcHF1ELD Couxrr must do hel whole duty
