 Look on this Picture, and on that.
 The following is the first resolution adopted a: the cop.erhsad convention in New Haven on Wednesday last:
 "Resolsed. That the principles heretofore conventions assembled, faithfully discriminate 1 Governments and those conferred upoa the Federal Government; aud we do solemnIy re- eGrm tAe same. confidently relying upon thoir supremacy for ths sGfety and prosperity of the country, and the psrpets'ty cf its tnstitutions."
 And here are the principles heretofore enunciat~d," and now "solemnly reafirmed." which is part of the platform adopted by this same democracy" in 1863:
 "Resolsed, lst, That the United States are | CoWederdey of States, CoLQUAL IN SOVEREIGN T1 and political power; INDErENpENr IN THEIR SEPARATE ORGANIZATIONS, and reservng to esch ali rights not granted by the Constitution to the general Government
 1 Sd. That while we deuounce the heresy of secession as undefended and unwarranted by ths Constitution, we confidently assert that whatever may heretofore kav. been the epin | rived when all true lovers of the Constitution are ready 10 abandon the 'monstrous fallacy' | that the Union can be restored by the armed l hand alone; and are anxious 10 insugurate such action, honorable alike tc the contendiug 1 sections, ss will stop the ravages of war, avert universal bankruptcy, and un.te all the Stalts upon terms of equality, as members of one 1 Confederacy.
 4th, That the Democracy of Connecticut sym l t,i, r,,l,, the Middle and Western States. pledge then, selves to unite with them in tue adoption Of all houorable measures, havi.g in view tue cessation of hsstililies between the North and South :hs reconstruction of the Union on such terms as shall thoroughly define the | rights of the States; the restoration of those fratcrnal feelings which form the true founda ton of the federation, and the erection upon more enduring basis ef .hs Temple of the Constitution. '' - | 9th, That the militia of Counecticut are the natural guardians of the liberties of her peo- l pie, subject to the control of her Chief Execu- tive officer, acting under and by authority oi the laws of tue State and any and all acts of the Congress of the United States volative of tue sovereignty of 4e State in relation thereto. should receive the execra1ion of a people justly jealous of their liberties. 7th. That the ' Banking system" recently passed by the Senate Of the: United States, 1 based IS 1t Is, upon an unconstitutional and irredeemahlc issue of paper csrrency, cannot fail, if forced upon the people of tue States. to prove destructive to the existing moniel institutions of the several S,a1es, and is covertly designed 10 establish vast central 1 money power" alike unknown to the Con- stitution of the United States, aud dangerous to principles upon which out government Is founded.
 1 9th. That the President ofthe United States l by his Einanci palion Proclamation. has struck x ser JUS blow at lEe rights of the States |, cree, ah siiunst impossible barrier between | the North and the South, in attacting lho 1 people of fifteen States through domtstic institution which is bicrled with their social fa bric and over which tine individuad States | possess exclusive control and power; anl regardless of the great lessons or the past, l the National Executive in pAndering 10 the insane fanrticism of tue abolition faction, | has ventured upon system of public policy: which, If successfully inaugurated would disgrace out country in the eyes of the civil izsd world and carry lust, rapine and mur der into every household of the s!aveholding States.

 And we hereby solemnly declare that no American citizan can, without crime of inf delity to his country's constitutions, and he alegelc. which he bears 10 each, sanction such ursurpatiops. Relieving that our silence will be criminal, and may be constructued into consent. in deep reverence for our Con. stitution. which has been ruthlessly viola ted, we do hereby enter our most solemn protest against these ursurpations of power l 10th. Resolved, That ia connection with our | fell Ow-ctizens of other States, we will use our utmost influence to prepent the payment of songle dollar of the money of the people unconstitutionally approl lriated, for the un- warranted Executive project of compensated | Eman pation."
 Citizens of Connecticut this is the real platform which you are called upon again to swallow at the ensuing election. It is the old dose, re lal'eiel, indeed. but "solemnly reaf- frned,' which you indignantly spewed out of your mouths last spring. We had hoped nay, eXpected-that the democracy" of this l State had received such lesson last Spring that they woulI never again dare to approach the voters of Connecticut with such villainous doctrines. We believe that portion of them did wish to cove: up their former tracks. But in vain. The trail of the serpent will be seen :; it could not be altogether hid. The snake 8 scotched, it seems, last Spring, not killed. The people Of Connecticut now know their duty in the premises. and will do it.
