OUR CONNECTICUT LETTER
MIDDLETUwy, CoNN., Aug. 90.

MlDDLETUwN, CONN, Aug. -.
DEAR DUNHAM; The democracy ofthe
country has met with great irreparable
loss in the death of Thad Stevens Still
we should feel it our duty to submit to
the demands of Providence. 1t must be
obvious to all, that the rabid radical re-
publicans are doing more to promote the
election Of SEYMOUR and BLAIR, than it is
possible for the leading democrats to do.
Montesque remarked: . That there is in
every nation a public opinion on which
power itself is founded whatever shocks
or weakcns that opinion weakens ITSELF
and whenever the interests of rulers
tcinpts them u DO acts i'm orPoeition to
this, always ends in their discontinue
and downfall The republicans seem
determined to crush Mr.. Seymour by Will
flying and abusing him. They even abuse
him for being and acting the christian
and speak Of him as being a praying
canting scoundrel and saireis prayers 10
Heaven" Already they have disgusted
some of the most decent of their own
party; some who are politically opposed
to him, speak of him as without reproach
and an cstimablc character The editor of
the Oswego RepuUicoa, says he knows
him well that his moral character can
never be tainted by the breath of slander.
The republican press have called ont
"coppcrhead,' "copperhcad' till they
have made the term respectable and have
droped it; except the editor of the Con-
stifati0n in this city, and he is as ignorant
Of the term as child unborn, but thinks
it is term of reproach and of course ac-
complishcs wonders for the cause, byr
itcrating the epithet, which he never fails
to do in every issue of his paper. Nell.
it is the best he can do for he is totally
incapable Of discussing the principles at
issue, so he accomplishes the most by
making "mouths and calling names"
There are rumors that Grant will with
draw, hut we have no expectation he will
but will continue to eight it out on this
line if it takes to November. His
prominent quality is dogged perseverance
still Having no policy of his own he
may he made to yield to what shall be
decided to be good policy by his party
advisers. .INy H'r lE.' ~. w,

Candidates for Congress.

on some man as candidate for Congress.
Two names are suggestcd--t'cn. JOHN

but it occurs to us, rs all important, that
the man should be finally agreed upon.

The New York Herald, Of recent

results of the eight years of republican
administration are the arrangement of all
the machinery Of government, an almost
incredible corruption in office, and Il
weight in taxes that bears commerce and
labor to the earth. 1t says that "rccon.
struction by system of Legislation that

that stamps the radical faction as utterly

follows.
The history of the radical party is
such that the people will not trust it
again on any terms, and this conviction
threatens 10 give the north to the demo.

possibility that Grant may be beaten hy
