CONNECT1CUT.--The Democracy of Connect
cut, the last of the New England States to bow
the knee to the Baal of Republicanism, is the
first to forswear idolatry. In 1860, she aban-
doned her old Democratic faith and gave Lin
coin over 5000 majority. In 1864, many of her
citizens, disguised with the manifest perversion
Of the war from its pretended objects, left the
Republican party, and Lincoln triumphed by
only 2, 400 The next year, her election took
place Immediately after the fall of Richmond, and
the enthusiasm consequent on that event gavethe
Republicans the unprecedented majority Of IL )
900.
But the day of returning reason was dawning,
and that good old Conservative leaven, planted
in her midst by patriotic men of better days, be-
gan to assert itself. In the election on the first
Monday in April, 1866, General Hawley, Re-
publican, beat English only five hundred and
foIty-one votes.
Last Monday, this majority was, by heroic
effort triumphantly overcome, and we have to
day to record the unusual event ola Democratic
Governor in Northern State!
This, satisfactory as it is, tells but small
part of the story. In the Thirty ninth Congress,
Connecticut appeared with solid phalanx Of
Jacobnism Deming, Warner, Brandigee, and
Hubbard; in the Fortieth, her Democratic re-
representatives. are three, to one Jacobin. Among
the defeats, we particularly rejoice at that Of
Colonel Deming, a Jacobin Of the old Congress,
and Barnum, the immortal humbug, Jacobin
candidate for the new-both eminently worthy
to be members Of Congress, but neither fit to
represent Connecticut Richmond Examiner
