CONNECTICUT.

CONNECTICUT. .r
On Monday next, the Land OF Steady Hab-
it's is called on TO reiterate her devotion to her
country and to free institutions. She follows
New Hampshire, which has just increased her
Union majority of last year from 574 to $3.50.
Connecticut's Union majority Of last year was
2. $50; and she ought now to swell it, alter the
New Hampshire pattern, to at least 5000. That
she will reelect her present excellent Governor
and subordinate State Officers, with Legisla-
turo at least as decidedly Union as that of last
year, we do confidently trust. We believe it,
because tho Copperhead cavil, you can't sub
iugate the South has no longer tho dishearten-
ing plausblity that it had even one year ago.
Since the LIST of April last, our trumphs in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, including the captures
of vicksburg and Port Hudson, have immensely
weakened the Shareholders Confederacy by
cutting what remains of it into unequal portions
which seem to have no subsiSting power to
reunite. Eight months have passed slnco us
connection was severed and it has made no
progress toward reunion. Since then, we have
regained Little Rock, and Chattanooga, Knox
vile, and most of the Texan coast New-Or.
leans, the heart of the Man-ThevoS' Dominion,
the focus of its commerce and wealth, has
been ours for two years; and, though its pos
session is immensely important to them, they
have made no serious effort to retako 1t. Ot
tho thirteen States which they claim as adher-
ing to their Confederacy, We hold firmly to-day
the capitals of foe-Jederson City, Little Rock,
Baton Rouge, Frankfort, and Nashville; and
we have also their commercial emporium OF
each--nanely, st. Louis, Vicksburg, New
Orleans, Louisville, and Memphis. or the
Eight Millions of Whites inhabitng the Slave
States, majority are at this hour under the
flag and rule of the Union.
We do not assume that the Rebellion ia at
deaths door. We only maintain that, since we
hold every acre Of the FREQ States and OF the
Territories, and have recovered half the Slave
States, wo can surely regain the residue by
faithful. persistent effort. 1t cannot be so diff
cult nor 80 tedious an undertaking to reclaim
the remaining -Four Millions rs it was TO wrest
from Eight Millions the -Four Millions we have
already recovered. well begun is, in this
case, u good deal more than half done We
have gained the crest of the mountain. and have
henceforth the easier task before us.
Connecticut is an easier State TO carry for the
Union cause by reason ofthe transparent frank
ness in the past of her Coppcrhcad oracles. The
difference between these aud the Rebel chiefs
il plainly one Of location. No one has ever
heard from Thomas II. Seymour, Isaac Toucey
or William w. Eaton, declaration that the
Shareholders Rebellion was unjustihable.
majority Of the speeches made in Seymour's
canvass last Spring might have been made in
any Confederate camp without eyoking q muir
muir of dissent. And, though their signal de-
feat last April has dictated to the msster-spirts
change of candidates, there is not shadow OF
proof OF probability that their feelings or views
| have been modified by the shadow of n shade.
We await with confidence the telcgraphio ad-
vices of Monday evening next.
