OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
 We quote from several journals, upon the late New Haven @
 New York Tribune.
 Taken, all in all, 1t is the most ex citing convention ever held in that State. In the morning session it was the firm intention of the New Haven. Democratic Committee to turn the scale of the convention in favor of Mir. English, and they were persis- tent in their efforts, but their designs were frustrated, the afternoon session going entirely against them. In fact it seems that the whole affair was coneocted in that city for the pur- pose, in an underhand way, of ratify ing the nominations and sentiments of the copperhead party of that State. In this it is a signal failure, and resulted in complete triumph for the republicans.
 Cor. Boston Advertiser.
 This morning several of the demo- cratic State committee were on the ground, confident of carrying their point-the nomination of Mir. Eng lish-and they relied greatly on the roads being blocked up with snow, so as to prevent the attendance of dele gates from the rural districts, who, it was pretty generally understood, would be as a general thing hard to manage, to say nothing of their sym pathies with the Union party. In case they should not appear, it was believed the leagues and unions in New Haven could control matters, and there would be no difficulty in carrying out the programme agreed upon months ago, as indicated last fall in a letter written to the Adrer- tiSer from this city.
 When the convention came togeth- CT it had somewhat dubious look for the republican members, but pretty soon the trains began to arrive and in them came the earnest and honest workingmen from the back towns, who were not to cheat or be cheated, and copperhead stock fell gradually to low point.
 Thus the affair has failed of its ob- feet, so far as Connecticut copper headism is concerned. The English managers did not estimate the intel igence of the workingmen of Con- necticut,-a large majority of whom would sooner forfeit half their pay than bolster up party whose lead CTS for years have denounced the honest Iahoringmen of New England as greasy mechanics" &c.
 You may set down the work of yesterday as good strong '' lift for Governor Hawley and his sup porters in Connecticut.

 Vigorous efforts were made by MT. English's friends to control the con- vention and force an endorSemenf Uf the democratic ticket, but good sense and wise counsel finally prevailed | over the reckless demagogism of some of the would be managers, and it was voted to make no nominations for state officers. This was sore disappointment to the democratic fuglers, who had built up their hopes of success on the prospect of secur- ing the support of the organization The brazen impotence of these men iii trying to force the working men of the state into the support of the democratic ticket, making their or ganization nothing more than ten der to the democratic party, has been rebuked. And we are very much mistaken if still more emphatic re- buke is not administered them by the people next April. M Neso Haren Journal.. The Workingmen's State Conven- tion, on the action of which the dem ocratic managers hung all their hopes of electing MT. English, has. been held and has adjourned, leaving every man free to vote for just who he chooses to. The democrats have spent much time and money in en- deavoring to pack the convention, and they thought on Thursday night that they had made sure thing of it. Indeed, so confident were they yes-i terday morning that they attempted to introduce K. D. Gallagher to ad- dress them, and as they had large party of volunteers present, who yo- ted just as they were directed, they would have succeeded had it not been for Mr.J. c. Fincher of Philadelphia, who refused to yield the floor to professional politician, and earnestly warned the convention against falling into their snares. Half the time of the convention was wasted in trying I to turn out the democratic intruders, who voted upon every qnestieR, and it was not until the police and the sheriff had been called in to remove the intruders, that the regular mem bers of the convention were permit ted to transact their business without interruption. | ". 1T.

 A perusal of the account of the
 convention will convince any onee that it was one desperate struggle from beginning to end. On one slde
 were the honest workingmen, who
 had looked forward to the sssein-
 blaze of the convention as an oeca- | sion at which their cause would be
