Tie annual State election in Connection
takes place next Monday. II is a hare
struggle, but TO US Il looks less doubtful fol
the Union cause than did. New Hampshire
a large number of democrats have repudi
aled the Seymour ticket and Platform, and
are cordially working with the Union party
James T. Brady, leading democrat Of New
York city, ex-Gov. Wright Of Indiana, and
other old democrats, have been in the State
and made powerful appeals against the &C p
perheals. Mr.. Brady, who supported Sey-
mour in New York, for governor last fall
has quite recently taken the field for the
Union, and has done much effective service,
Hon. D. 5. Dickinson, as usual, has devoted
himself to the cause and done good service
besides other prominent democrats less
known.
Throughout the State, the number Of
democrats who have espoused the Union
cause, without conditions, and are hearty
against treason, appears to be large. In
ocrats have come out and published their
Reputation of rebel sympathslng democ-
racy, and have announced their determine

these are Col Rufus Parker of Windham,
late democratic candidate for Congress !;
Nathan Belcher Of New London, formerly
democratic member of Congress; Richard
d. Hubbard and David Clark of Hartford,
and others; all of whom have been leading
democrats heretofore. The very best men
of the party are leaving the debauched and
debased democracy. Mr.. Brady, while
speaking at Stamford, told them plainly that
the doctrines preached by Fernando Wood
were nothing less than moral treason, add
that Wood and Vallandgham, and those OF
that ilk, were aiding the rebels and pro-
longing The rebellion. He also told them

A TRIUMPH FOR FREEDoM.-A cleo
ton was held in Western Virginia on Thurs
day of last week, to ratify an emancipation

said be under the age of ten years, shall

Voice of the Old Vermont sixth.

The officers of the old Vermont Sixth,
Col. futile of Cavendish, recently held a
meeting and expressed their opinion of
copperheadsm at home, in unmistakable
language. We quote fine following from
the resolutions adopted:
Resolred, That we, the Officers of the
9th Reg. VI. Vols, deem it duty, as well
as privilege, to aid in strengthening a
public sentiment at home, which the ext
gencies of the case demand, to denounce
and rebuke all reasonable doctrines, all
sympathizers with traitors, who by their
willy Vaccinations would prefer dishonor-
able overtrres to The rebels in arms, and
compel US as people to accept of peace on
dishonorable terms.
! Resolped, That it Is the imperative duty
of every good and loyal citizen, whether at
home or in the field, to use his utmost en-
deavors to uphold the dignity and preserve
the integrity of the country, and once more
to reassert the national authority through
out the length and breadth of the land.
ReSolred, That we regard the men who
have announced by resouti' n their iuten.
ton of refusing to furnish men or mean:
for the prosecution of the war, as traitor;
to their country, deserving the execration!
of all patriotic citizens in the present, ant
worthy monument for shame for comm;
generations.
| Resolced, That we have every confidenc'
in the honesty, integrity and patriotism o
the President of the United States, and ar,
in favor of any and every measure that il
his opinion, under the constitution, may
tend in the remotest degree to the suppress
sion Of this rebellion, including the cele
brated proclamation of Jan. lst, 1868.

GEN. STANNARD.-Col. Stannard, Of the
9th. as our readers are doubtless aware,
has been promoted TO Bligadier General,
a promotion which he no doubt fully de-
serves. He is with his regiment at Chica-
60, and the Chicago Journal says that on
Thursday he was serenaded by his regi-
ment, congratulatory of his confirmation as
Brigadier General Gen Stannard replied
that the first intimation he had of his pro.
motion was dispatch from washington
'congratula,ing him, and stating that be hac
been both nominated and confirmed Brig
adler General, on the 10Th inst.-that tn,
promotion had not been sought by him, ant
was quite unexpected.

ca The attempt Of certain copperheads
write the 18th regiment of this State in
to their ranks fails badly, and no doubt the
men of that regiment are as loyal as any
other. Of course there will now and then
a stray copperhead appear in the army.
Letters from various members of this regi-
menI are strongly against the traitors both
North and South. One OF them writes to
the Picnic, of the copperheads as follows
Let our loyal citizens at home point the
finger of corn aud contempt to the copper
heads--exhibit them openly to the world
The third part that rebelled in Heaven are
far more deserving TO set on the celestia
throne than they are to occupy the humbl
est seat in hell. They are not fit TO TREAD
our soil, and could they come in contac
with us we would have one shooting match
and the boys would aim deliberately / as
sure you. Give US unqualified loyalty anc
support at home and we will mete death {,
the Rebellion as sure as the sun Shines"
