The Copperhead Candidates.


 The Democratic State Convention, under the guidance of it's old leaders, Eaton, Gallagher & Co.,. met in Hartford, on the seventh inst and nominated an entirely new ticket
 Jas. E English. of New Haven, their candi. date for Governor, is very we'll known by repu. tation to many of our readers. He has been a leading representative of their party for sever. al years, serving in both branches of the Leg islature, and at last in. Congress. We believe that he is good business manager, and gen. tleman of agreeable and digni6ed manners. - His chief recommendations. as Candidate are his wealth and liberality which make him geod subject to 'bleed' in a political cam. pa;gn. We have the highest democratic au- thority for saying that he is treacherous and cowardly. It will be remembered that. while in Congress, he voted for the Constitutional Amendment abolishing Slavery, an act that brought upon his head the loud-mouthed curses of the whole Democracy oi Connecticut. Al tue next Copperhead Convention he was de. nounced as c moral coseard, as tool of those who would betray their parsy ! and a rebel who was imported from Ne Jersey, in a speech which the Sentinel said ;was we'll received by the members,' declared that he would i.drau c ssOord and cut the heass sout of any officer who attempted to enforce the amendment uposs him, # he owned slaves. All who are in favol of moral coward, who was drope saso, be trayibg his party, are invited to vote for him. B Hyde, the candidate for. Lieut. .-Govern. or, is well known,' the copperhead oracles say as the popular and energetic President of tn; State Agricultural Societ7.s We are sorry to say that, as the State Agricultural Society has held no public exhibitions fora several years we fear he : is not well known, in connectio: with it, CT at least will hardly he recognized a, 2 remarkably energetic President, ofa Socie ty that exists only upon paper. And when W, are told that because he occupies that position aserefoss he will make capital presiding ofi cer of the Senate, we cannot see it. Weshculd prefer to have candidate for Lieut.
