Our Connecticut Letter.
MIDDLETOwN, Conn.,, March 25, lS6

MIDpLErowN, Conn.,, March 25, 1867.
DEAR DrYHAM: We are in this State, as you
are aware, in the midst of very exciting
political campaign. The Democratic nom-
nations are all made and candidates have been
selected by this party, which if elected, will
do honor to the State. They are practical,
substantial men. Now you ask what will be
the resut-which party will prevail? We
can only say, the Democrats feel very conf
dent and the more intelligent republicans feel
by no means encouraged; bets are freely offer
ed that English the Democratic candidate for
Governor, will be elected, but are not taken
by our opponents. Very many who have
heretofore voted the republican ticket, are
now stumping the State for the Democratic
ticket. They dare not put forward their old
candidates: such as Warner, Hubbard and
Brandegee for Congress, had they done so
they would have been sure Of defeat. The
great issue is reconstruction; whether the
South shall be put under military power, the
habcas corpus suspended, and continue to be
taxed without representation, or whether they
shall be allowed to participate in our counsels
The impression is prevailing that we have
been under the dictation of Sumner, Wade,
Stevens and that clique of radicals, long
enough, and the whole object oflegislation
continue to be, to perpetuate that party In
power; or whcthor we shall hare. again, a
Union and an united country. That there is
a change going on in public sentiment at the
North, cannot admit of doubt. The Demo-
cratic Union party is Increasing and will, ere
long, prevail. 1t is only by the most desperate
means, which have been resorted to, that the
republican party have retained the ascendency
so long. lou may confidently expect good
tidings from Connecticut. CIV.
I'VE congratulate our old and honored
friend "W.' on the result. God bless the
old State and keep her steadlast.l EDITOR.

money may be speedily raised for the

adopted a plan which will meet With .
hearty approval and earnest support from
all. This Company knowing from the
past to raise funds by appeals to the char
liable public is slow and uncertain work,
oftentimes resulting 10 total failure, have
adopted their present method Tor accom-
plishing this much desired result. Their
plan is to issue stock at one dollar per
share, each share Of stock emitting the
holder thereof to one 6nely'executed
steel engraving, which al retail could moi
be purchased for this sum. In addition
to this, presents consisting Of several
thousand dollars in g~reonbacks, real eS'
tate, borses, jswelry, silver ware, sewing
machines, pianos, melodsonS, and hum
dreds Of other valuable articles amount
ing in the aggregate to 100000, will al
so be bestowed among the stockholders
Every stock. holder not only receives hit
engraving at the tims Of purchase, but
will also receive a present at the distri'
button, there being no exceptions. The
Company are enabled to act thus li5er-
ally from tie fact, that making theiI
purchases of epgravings, and Of the
presents to be given away, in such enor'
mously large quantities, the cost pei
single article is generally reduced tC
what would be the price were the pur'
chase Of the same made at retail. Besides
this all the presents, such as real estate
etc., have beeA handed over to the Com

lowest market value. On this accOun'
are the Company enabled to offer sucl
great inducements to these who woul(
