We observe a disposition on the part
Of some of our exchanges to place Con-
necticut among the doubtful States, at
the coming election. As a native OF
that State, we protest against it. In
1850 Mr.. Lincoln carried that state by 4
majority of 1900. In November next,
his majority will be not less than 5000.
Our reasons for this opinion are these:
Not 4 prominent, influential Repubii-
can has abandoned the Union party
not one. On the other hand, scores OF
men who were prominent and intluen
tiai Douglas supporters i'll 1863, are now
theoretically at work for Mr.. Lincoln.
First among the latter is Hon. James I.
Pratt, for very many years Chairman o.
the DemOc attic State Central Commit
tee, Democratic member of Congress
from the Hartford District, several years
4 member ofthe Legislature, and always
leader, ana afterwards the Democratic
caniidote for Governor for at least two
terms. Gen. Pratt was prominent
member Of the recent Union Convcn-
ton. Next is the Hon. John I. Wait,
of whom we spoke a few days since, and
who now heads the Lincoln Electoral
ticket. In that Union Convention were
Thomas Cowles, Charles Parker, Sanu
ell Warner, T. T. Benjamin and other
leading Democrats, who never before in
q Presidential contest voted anything
but 4 clear Democratic ticket. Outside
of the Convention is Henry c. Deming,
one of the most gifted orators of the
Democratic party, who, in Hartford,
was always brought out for Mayor, Rep
work was essential to victory. Hon.
Nathan Belcher, of our own native
town, wealthy manufacturer, who lost
dollars by the hundreds Of thousands
when the rebel States repudiated, and
who for many years has occupied
prominent position in the Democratic
party, four Of which were spent in Con-
gress. Judge j. \. Harvey, highly
educated, polished gentleman, for many
years upon the bench, by means Of DEM
ocratic votes. But why enumerate ?
The heart, the soul, the life, the brains
OF the Douglas Democracy in Connecti-
cut are now enlisted on the side OF Lin
coin, Liberty and Union. Connecticut
has long since repudiated her Eouceys,
Seymours ana Eatons. She VIII grind
them to dust and ashes in November.

Such is the intelligence from Gen.
Grant. Chapin's Farm, which was oc-
cupiel on the Goth utlmo by Gen. Ofd's
corps, is on the north bank of the james
river and eight miles southeast of Rich
mond. At the same time Gen. Birney's
corps was at the intersection of the New
Market and Richmond roads, ,four mfrs
distant from the latter place. Sheridan
still presses the rebel column under
Early, and promises to soon reach ten
der spot of the rebellion. On to Rich
mond; but there comes up no cry for
more men, for they are moving to the
front. We prophecy that our forces &C.
cupy Richmond before the Sth day of
November. Prepare to hear glorious
news from our army in Virginia; but
be not discouraged if we do not now
succeed.

HOWL OF BAFFLED TRAITORS.
Circulating n Reasonable Document.

From the indianapolis Gazette, Sept. %.
The rebels, under the disguise of the
Sons of Liberty in this State, are secret
ly circulating "An address by the Com
mittee of Thirteen, to whom it may
concern"
The evident intent of the authors of
this address is to incite instruction and
rebellion in this State, and bring civil
war in our midst for the purpose of aid
ing the southern Confederacy.
a few extracts will show the charac-
ter of this secretly circulated document.
1t declares that 1.-THE immediate purpose
of the Sons of Liberty and the Demo-
cratic party are IDENTICAL" and appeals
to Western men, by indirect arguments,
to establish a Northwestern COniedera-
cy.
After assailing the Governor of the
State and military authorities, and MAX
ing the most dastardly and false charg-
es in regard to the freedom of elections,
and unlawful military arrests, they
attack the order of Major General Heint-
zelman, and declare that his order pro-
hibiting the sale of arms and ammuni-
ton is a legal nudity. They say: 1T
cannot 6itl the conscience of any man
arm and organize as rapid,y as possible
.-0peny II you can, secretly If you mast.
Desperate towards are to be dealt with,
and Il tmid policy will only invite the
preparation of further outrage"
The concluding part of the appeal is
worthy OF the traitors who gave birth to
this fatherless, heartless, reasonable
productions:
" Let the emergency come-as seems
predestined-and the people will arise in
arms, Titanic in the majesty and
strength of a just cause, and moving
forward like the ground swell of the
earthquake. the fanatics, the bigots, the
petty despots encountered will be swept
away like rubbish before the Alpine av-
alanche."
Over one thousand of these secret cir
culars have been seized by military au-
thority, addressed to some of the most
rabid peace men of the State. Here are
the names:
J-ptiia d. New, Esq, Vernon, Jennings coun-
james II. Titus, Esq. vevay, Switzerland
county.
X. Raleigh, Esq, Evansville, vanderburg
county.
Calvin Jones' Esq, Roclnort, Spencer comfy.

Let these pc; G men, these traitors,
beware, for the day of their trial draws
near. Let them beware, for the arm of
mercy cannot always shield them. Let
them remember that justice will claim
her full share when the cup of iniquity
is full.

We do not care to NEEDLE with so
weak thing as the Iowa Statesman.
We sit in our office and have free access
to ali the papers we care to read, of all
grades of politics, and we are free to
confess that among all other exchange 5
the Statesman is not eXcelled in its at
tempts to palm off the most stale and
senseless falsehoods. 1t has the impu-
dence to reiterate the miserable false
hood exposed by us few days since,
relative to branding soldiers in the
back. Now, if the Statesman editor
would look through his glasses and
carefully examine the g order of SUI
geon Baxter, it seems to us lie ought 10
see the falsity Of the branding" acct
satiOn, no matter how thick the sugar
was on the. bottom OF the glass. BaX-
ter's order says nothing Of branding
men; but he suggests the propriety OF
marking all accepted recruits in the
small OF the back" How is this done
BY the .Stotesmun's own showing it is
done, rot with hot iron, but with
c.s,lstic, And now we ask the whole
crew of peace s!leaks who have endeav-
ored to create and stir up opposition to
the draft by reteratiny this branding
story, what is there wrong about it ?
For one, wa are ready to justify it. Only
last week a brave man aud soldier lost
his life for the want OF this very work.
H. was originally the color sergeant OF
the 10th Pennsylvania regiment. This
man had deserted and re-cnlisted sCCeH-
teen times, receiving in all bounties to
the amount OF $500. He was what
nlay be called Il professional bounty
jumper, and on Friday last he suffered
death. Had Samuel Downing and hun
lreds and thousands of others of his
class been marked at their first enlist
ment an attempt to re-enist for the sake
ot robbing generous public. would
II I'VE led to his detection. Millions of
money have been stolen from the pee
pie by cascals who enlist for the bounty
and desert to repeat the same fraud.
Millions Of money might have been
saved had the War Department adopted
the policy OF marking men when ac-
ceptcd. such a policy will, of course,
be misrepresented and opposed by men
who mourn over Union victories and
find 10 horrors, oppression or crime eX-
cept in the Abolition North. The STATE S.
man, dignilied and courteous as it is (?)
will, OF course, regard this marking bu-
sinesS as il did Sherman's order to the
people OF Atlanta-BARBARoU We
cease to look Tor anything decent from
Il paper that waits for the OPINIONS of
rebel generals and papers before it ex-
presses its own. Having endorsed the
Richmond editorials and Hoods letter
to Sherman, relative to the people of
Atlanta, the Statesman is fitted for any
mean work.

Mcclellan and His Plat form.

The Chicago platform paid little re-
gard to "thepublic record" of the man
they placed upon it. The second reso-
luton declared:
That this Convention does explicitly declare
rs the sense of the Amer can people, tnat after
four years of failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war, &C., &c.
Is this the sense of the American peO-
pie? Let George b Mcclellan answer:
After a calm impartial and patient considera~
ton of the subject, a SUBJECT which demands
the closest thought on the part of every Il
lover of his country, | am convinced That by

that:

welfare demand that immediate efforts be
made for a cessation OF ho>ttlitles with view
to an ultimate convention OF the STATES, or othet
peaccabe means, t. The end that at the earllt ST
pracil cable moment peace may be restored on
the basis of the Federal Union OF the states.
Is this the true policy, to throw down

A Straw that cannot be Broken.

The Intelligent voter finds something
suggestive in the fact that the electoral
ticket Tor Lincoln and Johnson is head
ed by Edward Everett in Massachusetts,,
who in 1859 WAS the Bell cand idate for
Vice President, John J. Wait, in Con-
necticut, who in 1850 made a brilliant
canvass for Douglas, Thomas Cunning
ham, in Pennsylvania and David Tod
elch OF whom III 1869 opposed Mr.. Lin
cola and supported Mr.. Douglas. In
not State except our own is there a
Lincoln electoral ticket that does not
contain the. name of some prominent
men who in 1850 opposed Mr.. Lincoln's
election. y very large number of Dou-
gas War Democrats have been placed
IN nomination for seats in Congress by
the Union Republicans of the several
States. Can these facts be ignored?
