 apits in insnlt urop their sacred mounds and counts that precious blood an unholy thing l No, nc! Mr. Eatonf Base and grovslling as scu think il.c Yankees to be, they are not 10 los as that i! Even if they do tolerate yon among them. they are not all below the level of tI+ t,rutcs.
 Ul.iess wu greatiy mistake 'annscticut, it Is Impossible llr.t T lnrty guilty If such follies and crimes can carry the State. T. H. s. must look out Dr soiao employment next year, or baeome .gain dppendcgt on Lis friends, and they may as well bcgin 10 save their money for that purpose instead of betting ii upon the election.
 Whoever votes fpr him with the hops of thereby getting rid of,axes or draft will be decidedly 'ssld." Kren if accident, or storm. should give the State to Seymour he cannot fulfill his promises or their expectations. Taxation and draft will go on when ordered, Gov. Seymour < Co. to the contrary notwith- standing He may try to resist as he threat ens, he may succeed in drrnchng the State in blood, but he will find the Federal army and Nasy,b ,backed by tho determined efforts of every loyal mar, too much for him.
 We wish it to be distinctly understood that the loyal citizens of Connecticut ,rM not per- mt traitors, schether actiag under color of State authority or not, to oppose tho legally exercised autherity of the National Govern ment. We are not in tho habit of utterins boasts or threats, but the traitorous menaces of the copperheads make it proper for us to say loyal msn can 6yht as well as they, are full as ready for aueha contingency, and if worst comes to worst will be found quite as effective. With the co operation of National forces they will utterly ,ripe out every attempt to subvcrt or resist tho Government, and it will in no wise abats their zeal in doing go, if their steel or hemp should come in contact with the necks of such men as Seymour and Eaton.
 Seymour may well tremble ut the "diiicul- ty and danger' of the office he seeks. If he dares do what he promises he will put hia neck into halter; if not, his hypocrisy and cow ardice will bring him the same odium and contempt among the Corperheads that he al. ready has among loyal men. In either case his party will choose with him the doom to which the vast reaction of the North is pro. posing to assign traitors of every description. Those who love the name and fame of Demec. racy as it was in the days of Jackson, should be glad Of chance to ,epudiats the presump. tious claim of eopperheads to its namo and the control of it's organization. Men like DrM1Sa and WARNER and PRATT belong to the true Dem scracy, and are doing all they can to save the party from the frantic folly of these trai- tors, who will certainly rain t, as they hay, already ruined their own political fortunes, unless sigualy rebuked and arrested.
 In conclusion wo would solemnly appeal to every reader, laying aside his prcisdicies to reflect one moment, What is the shortest way out of our present eviIss
 Do you hate War! Then join with us in one more vigorous effort to finish the War. Do yon dislike taxes and drafts, Then lend your utmost efforts to stop tho necessity for them by subduing the rebellion. Do you dis approve of martial law and summary imprison- ments? Then stop the occasion for them by sqelching the traitors abont you. Are you tired and disgusted with the everlasting nig- gar?' Then join tho friends of the white h. borsr in preventing the extension of Slavery into Connecticut Do you loathe traitors Then vote against Eaton and Seymour. Do you want peace! Victory only can secure peace. and victory is already in our grasp. The exultant peals of triumph and of peace will soon ring out in joy, if the North will stand firm but little longer! And while eur gallant boys are carrying tho starry flag, bap- ized in their own blood, over the ramparts of Southern Rebels, let us, at homo, chacr their brave hearts by rolling sp splendid victory over rebels in the North!
