building the contemplated railroad to

Wheeling, Hopedale, g. Lake Shore
railroad, knew at the onset, that if the
interest at each end Of the route became
divided the project would fail. But if
the people could be united the project
would be success, and the road would
soon be built. Now the question is,
will you divide this interest by building
a road up Wheeling creek when you

The Democracy OF Connecticut have
Issued a call for State Convention, in
order to clear the decks and prepare for
death struggle in 1872. The time
fixed is the 18th of January, and the
place Hartford. In the call, the State
Committee say; Nearly six years af-
ter the close Of the sectional war, the
President announces, in his message to
Congress, that three States Of the Union
have been admitted to representation
in our national councils, and that he
confidently expects that another-one
OF the Old Thirteen-wil take her
place there next year. With TINS
official announcement Of the dlsmem-
berment of a Union which secession
had failed to break, comes an appeal.
by a leader of the Radical party in Con-
cress, for the Inauguration of war
against powerful European State, to
save the Republican party. 1t is the
policy of the Democratic party to re
trench expenditures, reduce the taxes,
reform abuses, which reach over thirty
thousand offices; to pay the public
debt, to relieve great interests, which
arc crippled by unnecessary burdens; to
restore the Union, to sustain the
honor OF the country, and to promote
the prosperity of every section; but on
no account to bring calamity upon the
people for the preservation Of any polit
ical party. All who agree with US In
these sentiments, and who are opposed
to disunion and militsry supremacy
are cordially invited to act in our organ
izations, and to aid in restoring union
and harmony, which are essential to
the prosperity Of the party" The hope
of the country rests upon a defeat o.
the Radical party While that organ
ization rules the nation, union, peace
and prosperity are impossible. They
trespass upon the rights o: the people
plumber the treasury, and menace the
industrial interests by war with 6
foreign power. GRANT shadows forth
the BUTLER programme in his annua
message, and all other interests will b'
subordinated 10 the one idea Of success
in the coming Presidential campaign
This is an outlook into the future; anc
it fully justifes the earnest appeal anc
prompt action of the Democracy o
Connecticut. The Democracy can viii
the next Presidential battle by early
prudent action, and they are beginning
to move in the right direction.

CpgIy Talk About Our Proposed
New Minister To Great Britain.

The Washington Patriot has the fol-
lowing to say about our proposed new
Minister to Great Britain:
Mr.. Schenck is not destitute of a
certain political talent, which is most
conspicuous in the angry debates of
the House, where his keen malice is
effective and equally dangerous to friend
and foe; but he lacks the education,
the training, the temper and the social
amenities which are requisite for sue
cess in diplomacy and for any respec;a-
bic footing in the cultivated circles Of
Europe.
The Patriot is not altogether correct.
Did not General SCHENcK at one time
have some experience at Vienna?

The European War.

The war news the last week has been
more contradictory than usual. The French
have reported succession of victories for
their armies, and if their dispatches were
exclusively believed, we might suppose
that the climate of France is getting too
warm for the Germans, and that the in-
vaders will soon be obliged to make an in
glorious retreat across the Rhine. But
the assumptions of the French are greatly
modified by the German reports. which
announce the continued repulse of the en-.
envy 10 their attempts to break the siege
Of Paris. There have been, from all ac-
counts, numerous minor engagements, in
which the honors and advantages have
been about equally divided, but the most
important event of the week was the
heavy sorte from Paris, which began on
Tuesday and involved severe fighting with
the besiegers on that and the following
day. 1t seems to be certain that General
Ducrot succeeded in getting out of Paris
with an army Of from one hundred thous-
and to one hundred and fifty thousand
men, but it is doubtful! whether he has
united with the army Of the Loire, which
must have been al important object of his
movement. .. .....
The French claim great victory. The
Germans say that they repulsed the enc
my at every point, and that their losses
are small. ......
The vigor displayed by the French is
creditable under the circumstances, and
the general impression that we derive
from the news of the last week is rather
favorable to them, after making due al
lowances.
