Connecticut Elections.
H. The returns from Connecticut indicate the cleo
ton of Gen. Hawley, the candidate of the Radi-
Gals, for Governor, by about five hundred votes,
and majority Of their party in both branches of
the Legislature. Lincoln carried the State by a
majority Of ;, 406 over Mcclellan and Bucking-
ham, the present Radical Governor was elected,
last year, by II ,O3' votes.
This very large decrease of majority, is crafty
ing but we are sorry that this State did not be-
gin the great work of defeating sectionalism and
giving the death blow to Radicalsm, which seems
must be done before the Government can be fully
reorganized. rhe Radicalism by this meagre vic
tory has again renewed its credit and received a
further lease on power but it will most certainly
come soon to a dishonorable and final bank
ruptcy.
The election of Gen. Hawley cannot properly
be regarded as an endorsement of the Sumner
Stevens revolutionary schemes, and condemna-
though himself opponent of the Presidents
policy, supported by the Conservative as well
as the Radical element of the Republican party,
and thousands of men gave their support to Gen.
Hawley who endorse the President. The New
York Times, the great Conservative Republican
paper of the North, whose editor, Mr. Raymond,
is one of the leading friends of the President in
the House of Representatives, advocated the cleo
ton of Gen. Hawley, contending that the candi-
dates opposition to the President was the element
of weakness to the ticket and in reply to the 73i
bnoaes regrets that the FATAL treacherous failure
of the Republicans of Connecticut to place their
State squarely the platform of Equal Rights and

the convention in nominating Gen. Hawley adopt
ed what the Tribune calls an Impartial Freedom
Suffrage Platform Mr.. English would have beaten
him by four or five thousand majority"
It is evident from this election that majority of
It is to be sincerely hoped that the conservative
Republicans, in the Legislature, will unite with
the Democrats in returning Mr.. Dixen to the Sen
ate, who has by his enlarged views and patriotic
course shown himself to be statesman who can
reach above the influences of party and grapple
glory of the Union. ..
In defeat we see much in the result of this cleo
ton which will have pacifying influence upon
the agitation which disturbs the country and
