 So much for Seymour.


 So much for Seymour.
 Once more the grand old Commonwealth oI Connecticut has declared for THE UNION and spemies of the Republic at the polls, and ad ministered to them scathing rebuke. Last year, when the Man and the Issue vera the same, she declared against the traitor and the treason in thunder tones. This year, when the Man is changed but not the Issue, she ad- ministers Waterloo defeat.
 So it always is, ard so it always will be l Connecticut is ever true to her past history to her grand deeds in the present war against rebellion-to the noble men who have thus far led her people in the foremost ranks among her loyal sister States.
 Connecticut sends greeting to New Hamp. shirel The Old Granite State is for once 2 eutdons. ghe did nobly, but Connecticut does better this time.
 We aend greeting also to our brave breth. rem in the army! We have elected Legis. lature, two thirds of which are Union, and two thirds, consequently, in favor of the sol disr's right to vote.

L1roHrIEID.-Election day passed of quist- ly in town, more so we think, than we have ever known it, There was little excitement visible, though each party worked like bea- vers to get out, the last man to the polls- Judge seymours' personal popularity, per- haps, ran his name some votes ahead of his ticket, and Governor Buckingham's vote was correspondingly some behind: though tho diff ference may be accounted for by the fact that some "dsmocrats" voted for Judge Seymour alone, and "cut'' the rest of their ticket.- The average majority on the State ticket our readers will see is but -four; gain on last spring of seven; and this in the face of the most outrageous and illegal registration of votes on the part of our copperhead board.
 OUR REpREsENrATIvEs--Than to the par. tizan board of registration one of their num- Der is nominally elected as our represen tativ e by -four votes, but we presume his seat will be contested, if the game is thought to be worth tae candle, and Mir. Wright will have lively time in retainingit.
 We congratulate the town upon the election of THEODORE R. szDaw:ck, in spite of the il- legal votes against him. He is 6 true Union Dsmocrat, an utter hater of copper hsadism of every hue and stripe, and as such, bitter. ly opposed: ::by the copperheads at the polls and elsewhere. His election gives us 6 gain of one representative certain, and goes far to-
 wards the redemption of old Litchhsld from its " nine years slumber.''
 We are sorry, very, for Mir. Ford, tho defeat ed candidate of the eopperheads. We tender to him our most respectful sympathy. Last fall he was run by the Union men of the town for selectman, and, 1t is currently reported was overpersuaded by his democratio' brethren to withdraw his name, on tho day oi election, with the promise that tAis year he should be sent to the legislature. We believe he hasn't made arrangements to leave home this spring notwithstanding this pleasant lit- tie agreement. Alas for the vanity of hu- man promises and human expectations = We recommend to Mr. Ford to sing over by himself the cheerful little hymn, common cling:

THE QuoTA, &.-In our Charlestown items
last week the statement as to the sum of
mouay raised to be paid to volunteers, as
citizens bounty, was incorrect at the hour of
publication, and to ex plain this we will say,
that owing to the pressure upon our columns,
the Charlestown items, though in type, were
crowded out of the issue for (which they were
prepared, and at which time the statement of
the paragraph referred ste,s would have been
correct as'sse believe. sis f4
The matter now stands thus, $4,000 have
been raised as citizens bounty fund, and q
bounty of 5000 to each volunteer is offered
fer the nine men required to fill the quota OF
