CONFISCATION.

We commend the able speech Of Mr.. Wood
bridge on this subject to the attention OF our
readers. His views are clear and the
arguments he presents on the power Of

ish treason-by Confscation--are unanswer-
able. The document is sound, logical and
pi,hy, dealing blow to all traitors to the
Government.

The Connecticut Republican Union State
Convention at Hartford, Wednesday, was
more largely attended than usual and the
councils for the most part were harmonious.
The present State Ticket was renominated in
manner that complimented Gov. Bucking
ham and his associates, who will be elected
by majority greater than last year, though
not without work, for the copperhead oppo-
sition is still active and bold Not much be-
sides what is expressed in the resolutions
was said on national affairs, but the senti-
ment was universally and unmistakaby in "a
vor Of renominatng Old Abe for the Presi-
dency. Every speaker through the day pledg-
ad himself unreservedly to his support, and
the resolution instructing the delegation to
the national convention to vote for him, did
not meet with peep OF opposition, The res
olution is as follows;-
Resolved, ] That The President of the Uni
ted States, Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of
trials unsurpassed, by his unquestioned hon
esty and patriotism-by his answering de-
votion to the best interests of his imperiled
country-by his steady and lawful progress
towards the suppression Of the rebellion and
the annihilation Of the cause of it--by his
impartiality in the distribution of the militia
ny power in his hands--and by the entire de-
yotion of every faculty Of his heart and head
to the welfare OF his country-has won our
entire confidence, and the grateful plaudits
which he receives from the wise and good of
other lands who sympathize with us in our
national struggle; we do, therefore, regard
his reelection to the place he now holds and
the completion of his wise political and war
policy, as vitality important to the best inter-
ests of the country and we hereby request
oar delegates to give him their united sup
port in the coming national convention.

UNCLE ABE AND THE BLAIR FANILY.-We un-
derstand that the Blair family actually believed
that q member Of that ancient government or
gsnizing institution would receive the appoint
ment OF Chief Justice, to wit, Montgomery
Blair. The whole thing had been cut and dried
by the venerable head Of the family. But Chase
headed him of. II seems now that Uncle Abe
has got tired Of Old Blair, and II is pretty GER
tain that Old Blair is tired OF Uncle Abe. Thus
they are quits This is probably the beginning
OF a general change in the influence that has
hitherto dispensed government favors and
patronage at will and governed Father Abra-
ham In other respects. II Is probable the
whole batch, including our ancient friend
Gideon, will have TO leave. Such changes 90.

Some smart, intelligent man from Wall street,
who knows how to raise money on securities
without running the country. This is about the
greatest want OF the present time. IL is evil
dent that Mr.. Fessenden knows nothing about
the national, finances, and IL Is equally plain

ccssful Ia the recent Congressional and charter

those who have libelled them. Mr.. Peter B.
Swseny has brought suit for twenty five thou.

for libels, and Erastus was arrested yesterday
on q criminal warrant In similar suit upon
Mr.. Swseny's complaint James Brooks escaped

local contest, unimportant Of itself, decided
