Our Connecticut Letter,
MIDDLET0wN, Conn.,. Jan. 81, 1861,

MIDDLETowN Conn.,, Jan. 81, 1867.
EDITOR OF THE PREss.-Dear Sir-You of
course must feel some interest in the course
being pursued by the North, and particularly
in old Connecticut politically it being the
state of your nativity. The democracy of
Connecticut feel intensely anxious about the
the polite affairs Of the nation and the great
danger resulting from the course pursued by
the radical republican party in Congress, and
through the country, and as 4 party to do
every thing in our power to avoid the pend
ng storm which threatens to oyerwhelm the
liberties we have enjoyed, and under which
we have prospercd beyond that of anv other
nation, which history gives a record of The
democracy of the North are not in position
to do much to bring about restoration of the
Union, but we are determined to spare no eff
forts to accomplish SO desirable an object
\ sort of Il mass meeting the Connecticut
democracy was held a few days since in New
Haven great deal Of enthusiasm was mani
fest and things looked as though change
would take place and that at our April cleo
tions; we shall give evidence that the democ
racy of good old Connecticut is not dead and
that there is still no little evidence of vitality.
More than one district will return Demo-
cratic member to the next Congress. Our
patriotic leaders of the party who have no in
tercst except what pertains to the welfare of
the whole country, are becoming much alarm
ed, and are thoroughly convinced that a
change must be effected in the administration
of affairs, or we are lost. We are ready TO
sustain President johnson as far as his resto.
ration policy is concerned, but beyond that he
is no help to the party, indeed his patronage
and influence is in opposition to us, and we
should be willing an impeachment should be
effected, ifpnt upon the ground that he has
permitted through "A military commission,
numbers to be murdered against which no
evidence ofcrlme appeared, and while sur
rounded by such counselors as Seward and
stanton he cannot expect to gain the conf
dent support ofthe democracy of Connecticut.

To our Patrons.

With the last number of our paper, closed
the first year of our issue, since its renewal,
Starting out under adverse circumstances we
have struggled through the year, and are now
we are pleased to say, enabled to see a glm-
mer of light breaking through the dark cloud
that has hung about us. Taking into consd-
Grafton the almost destitute condition of the
country, We are very thankful for the liberal
patronage that has been bestowed upon us.
We did not eXpst to make any money-just
hoped to make a stay of it-that we have done
To those who have waited on us and extended
helping hand we feel very grateful, and
hope soon to repay them.
A pressing appeal, compells us to ask all
those indebted to this Office to come forward
at once and settl,. We have demands on Us
that must be met, and in order to do so, col
lections win have TO be made of every dollar
due the Office
The coming year we ought TO nave, at least
two hundred new subscribers in this county,
and with little exertions of our friends it
can be done. We shall continue to send our
paper, for a few numbers. to those whose time
has expired. with the expectation that they
will not be backward in their settlements, Us
our terms are strictly in advance. Those at a
distance can remit by mail. Let no one think
that because 1t is but three dollars, il will do
us no good; it is upon the SO that we have to
rely to pay our hundreds.

Our New York Letter.
NEw YoRS. January 2ad. 1851.

|
DEAR Pass: Perhaps a line or two from
this city would not be unacceptable to your
readers. For. under the present circumstan-
ces, the people of the different States, howev-
ever, widely separated, are more than ever
interested in the welfare of their fellowcom-
munties.
New York Is the commercial pulse, or ba-
rometer, of the country. and correctly indi-
Gates the condition of the business sentiment
of the Union. This truism has been very
clearly illustrated during the past five months.
Previous to the fall elections, and immediate
\ ly after the adjournment of the Philadelphia
I Union Convention, when the indications were
that reason We returning to the minds of
our people and that the -haters
and Union brakers were about to be thrust
from those seats which they had occupied only
to plot treason against Democratic institu-
ti0ns,-at that time business of all kinds sud-
denly revived, and our merchants and manu-
facturers were never more driven with trade.
In fact a VISIT to any Of the streets occupied
by our Wholesale houses gave one a very mag
nificd idea of the business of this metropolis,
in good season. But this furry lasted not
long. The result OF the fall elections acted
upon our business activity like break on
railroad ear, and suddenly brought the whole
commercial train to dead stop. Now, scarce
ly anything is doing, and the wise heads
among us are shaking their experienced pals
ominously and predicting a financial storm
such rs has never been known on this conti-
nent before this year shall have pegged cut its
days. | saw a singular statement the other
day, which tends to lend to our fears. That
Is, that every year in the present century con
tanning the figure seven except one-lSi7)
has been marked by financial revulson !:
thus, 1857, 1887, 1927, lSl7. and 1907 had each
Is financial disaster. more or less severe
viii 1857 be exempt from the fate of its fell
low seyens?
Fenian matters are in u worse muddle than
ever. A few weeks ago, tie question of the
day was-where is James Stephens, the c. o.
R? Those who proies.ed to be in the Sc
crets of the brotherhood said he was either in,
or on his way to Ireland where he was soon
to open the revolutionary ball that was to re-
suit in Irish Independence. A Fenian friend
of mine was positive of this. But it has turn
ed out that Stephens has been in this city all
the time. 50 the brotherhood has deposed
him from his position as head organizer, and
sent him adrift.
The Democrats of Connecticut held con-
vcntion on the Sth. to consult upon the state
of the country. They adopted an excellent
series of resolutions which set the questions
now at issue in the land more clearly before
the people than any other document, have
yet seen. Certainly, if the people are not en-
tirely given over to passion and enmity, they
cannot refuse to listen to the ringing tones OF
the true Democracy of Connecticut. But,
more next time, when will have something
to say on political questions.

From Washington.
WAsUISGrO,

W ASHINGrON, Jan. "a.
At one o'clock Mr.. Stevens Enabling
Bill came up and he yielded the floor to
Mr. Raymond, who spoke an hour in op-
position to the measure, creating no little
disappointment among those who were
anticipating a radical speech. The tenor
of his remarks were in favor of still ad-
herring to the Constitutional Amendment
as a basis of restoration.
Mr.. Shellabarger followed in a speech,
claiming full power of Congress to deal
with the Southern States as it saw proper
When he finished everybody expected q
a speech from Thad. Stevens, but he sim
ply rose, and to the great astonshment
of the House and the crowded galleries,
said that unless he changed his mind he
should move to morrow to lay his enab
ling bill on the table. He then sat down
and the House proceeded to hear Mr..
Morrills speech on the financial situa-
ton. a canvass of the House demon
strated that Mr.. Stevens bill would be
referred to the Committee on reconstruc-
ton, instead of being passed, and he pre-
fers it to its defeat outright and by his
own motion, to its reference, as mild
way of killing it. ...
! A careful canvass of the House has
been made, and but very small majority
has been developed in favor of Stevens
policy to abolish the present State Gov
ernments of the South, nothing like a
two third thirds vote to pass it over a
veto. A number of leading Radicals
will vote against the bill.
A prominent Republican member OF
the House, in recently writing to friend
says: "Touching the impeachment bust
ness, my opinion is, and has been, it will
amount to nothing. All reports that the
Judiciary Committee have been taking
testimony bearing hard on the President
are false. Not a single witness has been
examined" The committee are proceed
ing with great caution.

GENERAL CHURCHILL,

On the 22d of February the voters of Ar
kansas are called upon to elect a Lieutenant
Governor for the State. The contest is be-
tween the gallant hero who heads this article
and b. +. Hampstead Esq, of Washington
They are both gentlemen Of ability; but there
must be choice between the two While we
have nothing particular to say against the
latter gentleman we maintain that General
Churchill should have preference in this case
While we do not contend that none but those
who were with us in the late struggle for
Southern Independence and States Rights or
that this should be test Yet we do main.
tain that the past is the best criterian by which
to jndge of the future. General Churchill has
shown himself the true friend of the State and
the South, none was more ready and prompt
to act In defence Of the rights of our State and
our lost cause Ills past strict adherence to
her interests and her rights, is sure and the
best guaranty of what will be his course IN
the future. We eject State officers for the
State, and are amendable to no other author
itv Tor the choice we make. General Church.
Ill is the Evorite and hero ofthe truly soutb-
ern party AS to Maj. Hampstead, we know
nothing further than that he is considered a
good lawyer. We are not aware that he took
any decisive stand in the late troubles. He
was what might be termed negative charac-
ter and can he claimed by neither party. Let
us show on the I'D of February, that we are
willing to trust this honorable position In the
hands ofmen that have proven by their acts,
that they are the true friends of the state.
