 As the time for holding the yarions political conventions draws nigh. the contest among the State and local politicians grows animated.
 We who are outsiders, and who seek for no office and expect none, can look on in quiet and survey the field calmly, only looking out that such nominations shall be made as tke people will support, and that shall be of real benefit to the Country and the Cause we wish to uphold and defend. Wecar trust AAe people to get all things right, even though this or that political dish should be kicked over, and even though twenty thousand good and true men, our bravest and best--must look on in silence from their distant camps, and have neither present voice or lot in the matter.
 As we discern the signs of the times, the Us1os Mass CoSvRN7rox, that held their ses. !: sion last week in New Haven, acted both i'wisely and we'll in renominating the present eflicispt State Officers for reelection. The Convention made up in dignity and capability sshas t lacked in numbers and in interest-- Hs presume the REPrHIIcAs srArE CoxvEx. sfox, which meets also at New Haven on Hed6esday next, will fully endorse their &C., fton, 50 for; at least, ns nominating the present ;ltate ticket is concerned. None could be ssrouger or.better, or meet with better favor with the people. 1t is rumored. indeed. that upv. BucxrxGHAss will decline to be considered candidate again for the office which he now so vorthily dlls. We do not. however, deem this probable, ss we know the universal senti- ment Of tho pscple--at least of Republicans and all trns union .men, is, that absolute duty both to his State and Country require that the Governor should again stand the nomination. and ws shall be greatly disappointedin % no sls man and a Govarnor, if Gov. BuoKrxo HAN, does not yield his personal wishssan,l his preference for retirement to private life to this unanimous csai. In case, however. of the Governors peremptory declination-and only in such an unfortanats contingency have hsard the tauis uf Rear Admiral roorE sug- gested for the office. sueA . name and such . man would certainly call out the hearticst and xarmest support. The DEMOCRATIC State Con {. yention Is to De held at Hartford on the 9th of February. We understand that Mir. JAnEs T. -Ioorrs, the democratic candidate of the last sxo years, is to be left out in the cold. mot .aareasonably." and that the prominent eandi,; dates, among the dsmocrais.- for tho Gsbsrna ssrialafRee. are CnARIrs E. Posp of Hartford, VII. P. BusxALL of Laksville. JOIN T. WArf ycf. Norwich. and CaAsLEs CxArxAS of Hartford. All very respectable gentlemen persoually, bat tho question for the people to decide will be whether selther of them would make mora able, efficient. upright. capable Governor of Connecticut than our present Chief Mseists.te Bye-the-bye, there are .sszer,l eager aspifanss for honors on the Statc G.cke, from both parties in the County. but as tte l<fuh)icans are most likely to renominate tAS bsss6nt excellent ticket, we imagine all those rep.Ismon will have to Q to the Hart ford Convection to gatker and get What loaf spd ush thsy nay these.
 Next in or1er cones the CoxosEsazoHAL f;sxvnx-1oss for this distrist, neither of which have been called at tho lime of our writing.- Is is easy for us to anticipate MT.
