 been absorbed by peace negotiations of q mos@ 1 un,que character. At this day the Hampton Roads conference seems to have been useless certainly its main object has failed of immedi- lnte attainment; nor can we be sure that peace | is any nearer for this attempt than it would have been without it. Let us not, however be too hasty in our conclusion We must wait be- fore we can decide. In the light of future events only can we correctly gauge the impor- tance of this measure, and only as it influences those events is it important. Considering its direct and immediate results, it may he called useless, but We may be excused for the opin ion that in the assuranc. of the popular mind. North and South and in Europe, of the basis of our warfare, of the integri.Hpf our devotion to our principles, of our anxiety to staunch the effusion of blood in any way, 80 we retain hon. or and support those principles, of the determi imitation of rebel leaders to force from their subjects yet farther sacrifice it's indirect fruit s will appear in the nerving of the northern arm, better feeling in the old world, and an impe tus to rebellion within rebellion in this.

CT, to suhjugate without terms or treaty And to such course it is now our duty to give our selves with redouhled ardor, still offering tie olive branch, indeed, but forgetting that it is offered until hand is stretched out inplor,ng ly to accept it. For this we need not only stiong men in the field. but strong men for leaders and in council. Send back to Congress men who h,ve proved themselves statesmen. Let JOHN H. HUBBARD go hack, whom We were glad to hear has been commended by his con. stituents in convention, and now only needs that that action should be ratified by the bal lot. We know here that he is a man incor. rnptible, and one who combines sagacity with frmness. let Connecticut be represented hy such men as he. and her honor is immortal Let other States Set tls sanaard of character which he comes4 4n 10 for their congressman, and the Legislation of our lsed will never be contaminated with ~rons or Aish measures. hut will subscrve inc hestSsHteress of this country and proyea model for the reformation of the statute booksaof oihers snatons.
 HoN. JOHN II. HuBBARps--Fhe Wnsh ton correspondent of the Danbury Jefersonian has the following notice of Mir. Hubbard:
 Among the members of the present House reliable and useful. though not obtrusive or given to long speech making. is the Hon. J. H. Hubbard who represents your District. It is | to be hoped that he may he returned 10 the next Congress. that the country may receive the benefit of his matured experience in its councils. Mir. Hubbard is highly respected. and his re election will conf r honor upon his cons ituency and aiford much satisfaction to | the Administration as we'll as his many friends | here.
