Connecticut

The Republicans of Connecticut have
lost the election, but they can afford to
lose it. They planted themselves upon
the Just ground of universal suffrage. We
trust they viii not bulge an inch from
that platform. Let them stick to it, and
zealously educate the people up to it.
Connecticut is notorious as negro-hat-
ing state Schools for the education Of
negro children have been broken up there,
md a year or two ago negro was mobbed
there, and some DOgberry, whose name
we have forgotten, advised the negro 10
leave the state. Ignorant and inhuman
preiudices have therefore to be met and
overcome, and Governor Hawley and his
party need rot be discouraged at one de,
feat 1t is their mission to train the people
Of the state to liberal and sound views, to a
love for equal justice, and they will remem-
ber, we trust, that, occupying right and
just ground, heir defeat now ought only
to be the precursor Of an enduring victory.
The Re .ran patty in C"nnrcricut de
serves roe thanks OF the people of the state,
because it has forced It's opponents to cast
aside such men as Seymour, and put for
ward man whom they formerly reviIed,
d uouncrh and even burned in efigy-a
m ho in every thing but the nam" was
Rapub ican during the war, and who did
not hesitate to abandon his party on the
great issues Of the time, and vote for eman-
cipation in the District of Columbia first,
and for the total abolition of slavery iu ey-
cry state, afterwards.

EE~ The formal organization Of the Re
publican party in North Carolina on the
ground of equal suffrage is an event in
which all men, of whatever political opin-
ions or party affiliations, have reason to re-
ioice. For this establishes free discussion
once more in this one of the Southern
States; it creates two parties there, and
thus secures free government.
We congratulate the Republicans OF
North Carolina that they have taken the
name of Republicans, instead of Union
party" which at first they used. They are
Republicans; they have taken their place,
now, in the ranks Of the Repub-
lican party; and they have right to de
mand the assistance of the Republicans II
the northern states-Which We trust vii!
not be refused them.

Hon. ALBERT G. BRowN, of Mississippi,
in his letter advising an acceptance Of the
military reconstruction bill, denies that it
is either probable or desirable that the col
nred race will decline in numbers in the
South. He says: the negro is a fixture
in this country He is not going ont Of
it, he is not going to die out, and he is not
going to be driven ont. Nor is his exodus
from the country desirable" He thus
takes direct issue alike with those who ad-
vanced the absurd doctrine that freedom
wIIlprove fatal gift to the coIored men,
and with those who have contended that
the interests Of the white race would be
promoted by a removal from the South of
her mast productive Iaborers. The Missis-
>ippi statesman follows up his argument
with the conclusion that, 'if the negro is
to stay here, and it is desirable to have
him do so" that it is the duty of intelligent
white men to educate him, admit him
when sufficiently instructed to the right OF
voting, and as rapidly as possible prepare
hm for a safe and rational enjoyment ot
that equality before the law which as &
freeman he has right to claim, and which
we cannot long refuse to give"

HE When Democratic papers state that
the Connecticut election was fought and
won on the war record Of their party, they
LIE. The person they have elected Gov
ernor voted for the Abolition of Slavery in
the District Of Columbia, for the Con>titu-
tional Amendment Aboishing Slavery,
was good war democrat, and his course
during the war was so obnoxious to "hi,
party that he was burned in effigy and
denounced as a renegade. They have beer
compelled to cast aside their Toucevs and
Seymours. The adherents of EngIisI
claimed that he had been as loyal during
the war as Gov... Hawley. That was on,
of the issues made.

GS- General LougStrvet, recently, il
recommending a cordial acceptance of tn,
military reconstruction bill, followed the ex-
ample of some of his most notorious COM
panions-in arms, in telling his rebel breth-
rem that they were "a conquered people,
and that, recognizing this fact fairly and
squarcly, there is but one course left for
wise men to pursue, and that is to accept
the terms Offered 10y the conquerers." Ii
Is as natural for the parties who commenced
the rebellion to lose some of the immuui-
ties they possessed before they opened their
batteries on Fart Sumpter' as it would
have been for them to rrnd asunder the
Union, and prohibit the Government of the
UnIteI States from exercising any author
ity whatever south Of Mason and Dixon,
