ucratic party every where oppo>ln@'
Now in party warfare, rs in all other,
there is Il conduct which wins the re-
>pcct OF the foe. as there is one which
moves his contempt. Four or hfc
years ago equal suffrage was defeated
in Connecticut by Il majority OF seven
Thousand. Last spring the Democrats
elected their Governor by nearly two
thousand majority, and three Mem
ber> OF Congress. In the autumn tho
Republicans carried the state Tor
Grant. This spring, when. according
to the Democrats, equal suffrage was
the issue. the Republicans elect their
Governor and gain two Members OF
Congress, beating the Democracy III
their strongest holds: and because the
majority lur Governor is smaller than
that 10y President, the papers Of which
we speak drridc the mcaGGr and dismal
majority! The Democratic party are
more 81 gnally defeated in the State
than they have been for many year,
and instead OF frankly acknowledging
