The Connecticut Election.

We are pleased to announce the in
telligence that the Democrats succeed
ed in carrying the election for State
officers in Connecticut On the lat inst.
Mr.. English, the Democratic candidate
for governor, is elected by amajority OF
nearly one thousand votes, and the Dem
ocrats have three ofthe four members OF
Congress. The Radicals have carried the
Legislature, but as there is no Senator
to be elected that will make but little
difference. Among the defeated candi-
dates for Congress is Phineas T. Bar
mum, the notorious Yankee humbug.-
Mr.. English was defeated one year ago
on account of his firm support Of The
johnson administration, and has been
elected this year on u straight admins
tration, anti-Radical, anti Revolution
airy platforms.
This result in one of the New En-
gland States is exceedingly encoura-
ging at this time, and may serve as a
slight check to tho incendiary party
which is fast hurrying the country to
destruction. A reaction is evidently
commencing among the masses who
have to pay the expenses of the ruin
Gus legislation of the dominant party.
1t was hardly to be suspected that this
reaction, inevitable in itself, would
first commence in one Of the New En-
gland States. But it must be remem-
bercd that the Connecticut Democracy,
has ever been as reliable as any Demo-
cratic organizations in the country. A
Democracy led by such men as Isaac
Toucey and Thomas Fl. Seymour could
not be otherwise than reliable, and we'll
deserves the honor of leading off in tie
great work OF restoring the peace and
harmony of the country, which have
been SO sadly disturbed by tho infa-
nous organization which now directs
the central power.
We regret exceedingly that no i'm
portant State elections are to follow the
Connecticut triumph this year. But
we sincerely hope that the Democracy
of every State will preserve it's organi-
cation, and be prepared for the grand
struggle next year, which, we doubt
not, will end in the complete and final
overthrow of Radicahsm in the United
States.

The Russian Possessions.

The telegraph informs us that the
United States government has pur-
chased all the Russian possessions in
North America for the SUN of seven
millions of dollars. The same we'll
faed and very reliable authority
the important information that
]St valuable part of the new pur-
tflnseis small strip of land extending
down to 81 deg. 40min. and almost ex-
cludcs the British possessions from the
Pacific Coast. Now, it cannot be for
gotten that, in the settlement of the
Oregon question, our pretensions to
"fifty-four forty or figlltS had to be
given u5, and that the 1ine.between the
United States and British America was
run ON tho forty ninth parallel of lati-
tude. AS that arrangement left Great
Britain in undistllrbed possession of
FIVE degrees, forty minutes of Pacific
Coast, VIC cannot sec how her authority
has been diminished by the purchase Of
the Russian possessions to the North of
fiity-four forty. If, therefore, the OBJ
jcct OF this worthless purchase was to
spite the British, this unworthy motive
must result in nothing but disappoint-
ment, Moreover, il, as was asserted
during the war, Russia is the fastest
friend the United States has among all
the great Europcan powers, 1t Is n
questionable policy to remove her in
terest in the American Continent by
The purchase of all her possessions.
Many years ago when Mr.. Jefferson
purchased Louisiana for double the sum
of the Russian purchase, and added to
his country the richest domain on
Earth, loud were the complaints of his
extravaganza and of his usurpation of
authority. In later years the same
party would not listen to any efforts
towards the acquisition of the fertile
Island of Cuba by peaceful purchase.
in those days too, the country was rich
apd the Treasury overilowins. Now,
however, when the people are groaning
under the heaviest debt that ever
cursed any country, and when the in
babitants of one half of the Republic
are almost in Il starving condition; it Is
perfectly proper to drain the Treasury
TO pay for a few icebergs and grizzly
bears in the extreme North Western
corner of the continent. The only
possible reason for this difference is,
that the former purchases were ealcu-
lated to benefit the South, while the
latter benefits nobody and is supposed
to irritate Queen Victoria and her aris-
tocratic Cabinet. What a glorious
country We have, and how grand is its
manifest destiny!!"

Men are oftentimes overtaken with

malevolence or some of their fellow-be-
fngs. Nothing can be much more ter

tempt was made in this town last Mon

home, engaged in writing, his wife came
up behind him, and placing her hand

head back ,emptied the contents of a vial

anything particular dangerous, ran out

House and DIR. Clemmer was called in.
His eyesight was at first despaired of,
but the proba bility now is that one, III
not both of his eyes will be saved. Mr..
