The Elections in New England

The Boston correspondent Of the Chi
cago Times writes
. Too much stress will, | think, be laid
upon the Importance of the elections in
New Hampshire and Connecticut, which
are to come off in April Whichever
side will be disposed 20 magnify the
achievement into a triumph greater than
il can possibly be-. He who wishes to
feel the American pulse, must go else
where than in New England He must
cross the Alleghanies, into regions where
six or seven hundred votes are not cast
at the bidding of q single capitalist, as
In New England, where such men as
Sprague carry in their pockets the suf-
rage of towns and villages fun of the
white slaves of their factories As
Sprague and o few like him go, so goes
Rhode Island, and so Of other Yankee
States. In the West it is different Men
retain their individuality at the polls,
and vote their own opinions and net
those Of their employers. Hence you
will find that In Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, the popular vote changes nearly
every year; and the district that in
1862 gives one Thousand OF ht-
publican majority, may in 1854 give an
equal majority the other way, according
to the issues made before, the people.
In New England the vote is a monotony
from year to year. Whichever is the
best side for capital and the worst for
labor is sure to carry the day A this
goes to show that we must wait till the
fall elections in the West to learn what
the masses think of the questions now
agitating the public mind. We m,a
wait till Illinois rebukes negro equality
and its fanatical advocates till Indiana
gives her voice, as she certainly will,
against the abominable theories Of Mr.:
Sumre. and his radical brethren till
Ohio rolls up her majority In favor OF
completing the work in which her dis
tingaished sons, Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan, took such honorable part.
Let New Hampshire ana Connecticut 60
which way they choose, and the 'indica-
tions are decidedly good for the conser-
vatives, no great Importance can be al
tached to the result. The people don't
vote in New England at all The cotton
factories cast all the ballots. z 4Hi nsr
