The Government and the Con.

In response 10 Al earnest appeal to the
government to cease giving aid and CON-
fort 10 Cupperhead contractors known 10
be using means to secure TIA election OF
open and avowed rebel sympathizsrs in
New Hampshire and Connecticut, assuran-
ces have been given that a continuance in
their dlsloyal practices will be deemed sui
fcient ground for revoking their profitable
contIac s.-N y Tribune.
The meaning of this is. that there are
several workshops in Connecticut engaged
in getting out material for our army and
navy. The employers ard men are in
many instances Democrats They will
sustain Col. Seymore for Governor, in spite
OF any attempt at Coercion. What then
will the Administration dol Sop the
works, forfeit the contrat IS and refuse pay,

who will suffer! The army, the navy, the
war, the imperriled cause of tho country
All the calamilies that have followed the
want Of preparation of our armies, the loss
of pontoons, the failure of ammunition, the
defective machinery of steamers, will be
wsntonly hazarded. And for what? To
punish loyal citizens for differences Of po
li,ical opinion 10 the exercise of right Of
suffrage!
That the Administration regards its "con-
tracts as the means of rewarding its
friends and Furnishing its enemies, has been
painfully verified in every act Of its exi.-
tence. We see the consequences in treas
ury depleted. an army exhausted. a cur
rency deteriorated, a people BUNDLED and
doubling. If the Administration had de
voted half the earnestness to meeting the
rebellion, that it has 20 rewarding iriends

and Furnishing its enemies by violation of
law and private obligations. it would hsve
been as triumphant as it is now degraded.
As to the threat to abandon the Govern
ment work unless the capitalists and me-
chanics engaged in it vote the Abolition
ticket, the freemen of Connecticut will mo-,
be much daunted by it. The Administra
ton, If it makes any p. etense Of sincerity
in the Prosecution of the war, will not
dare thus publicly to trlfle with the necessi-
ties of the army and navy. If it is insincere
and neacherous, so much the greater jus
lice in rebuking it-so much the greater
necessity for furnishing it.-N. Y Argus

Haunt defiance in our faces ~
w hat security has the people for the pay
ment of prizes if any are drawn? We
answer none. Mr.. Morris comes among us
known as a lottery gambler and a law break
er. AT the present time he is endeavoring
what security have we that this lottery will
be carried on honestly? Mr.. Morris is
known as a repudiator of prizes. In 1851,
we think it was, he sold prize of $40, 900
in the State of Georgia, and stood law
suit rather than pay it he finally repudiated
it, and plead that he, Morris, had drawn an
illegal Lottery. He begins here by paying
the State nothing, nor does he promise to
pay anything. His first effort, after the
Legislature meets, is to stave off all action,
so that he can carry on his swindling opera
tons for two more years BY the most
tiagrant corruption our courts are set at de-
tiance, and the bold, brazen faced swindler
goes on unmoleSted.
Morris is not the only one, however, try
ing to buy our little State for gambling
shop, for, according to the Peninsular Netrs,
Sam Townsend is authorized by responsible
parties to offer the State bonus Of S3G 900
per annum, and as he has again got the
Democratic party under his thumb he may
De able to defeat the scheme of Morris, not
the alleged purchase of the
members previous to the election by the
after gentlemen. Townsend of course,
while looking out for the interests of his
lients, is also looking out for a No. 1
'onus for himself as he always manages to
get in the secret embraces of the sham
Democratic party in the nick OF time to
ecure the lions share in the division of tie |
polls.
Thus we go corruption, bribing, swind-
ing until our State is fast becoming a by
