The Connecticut Democracy.

The last address of the Democratic
State Committee contains the follow
ing truthful arraignment of the Abo-
lition party:
We arraign the Republican party
for its war upon the government, for
its arbitrary and despotic acts in vio-
lation of the Constitution, by virtue
of which the government exists.
For long train of abuses and usur-
pations, pursuing invariably the same
object-the snbversion Of popular
government and the Capitalization of
power, to perpetuate party ascenden-
cy;
For placing large portion of the
people under absolute despotism;
For refusing many States the right
of representation which is guaranteed
by the Constitution-ar right inestima-
bic to the people, and formidable to
tyrants only;
For dissolving legislative bodies re-
peatedly by the sword, as in the case
of Georgia and other States;
For assembling Legislatures by mil
itary decree, of men not chosen by
the people, and who do not represent
them; surrounding assemblies by
armed men, compelling them to adopt
acts for changing the government of
the United States, as well as the Con-
stitutions of the States;
For obstructing the laws of natur-
alization, and violating their own
public acts by the registration of ne
groes;
For degrading the judiciary and
making an Independent branch of the
government dependent and subservi-
ent to partizan dictation;
For erecting multitude of new Of
fees, and sending out swarms of Off
GERS and tax gatherers to harrass the
people and eat out their substance;
For levying an internal revenue tax
without regard to representation, and
in violation of the spirit of the Con-
stitution, by which seven and a half
millions of dollars annually are taken
from Connecticut, and three and a
half millions in excess of her proper
ton;
For rendering the military indepen-
dent of, and superior to, the civil
power;
For subjecting States to iurisdic-
ton foreign to their Constitutions,
and unacknowledged by their laws;
and for quartering large bodies of
armed troops upon their people;
For depriving them, in many cases,
of trial by jury;
For taking away charters, abolish
ing most valuable laws, and altering,
fundamentally, the form of our gov
ernment;
For suspending Legislatures, and
declaring Congress invested with
power to legislate for the people of a.
State in all cases whatsoever.
A party whose character is thus
marked by every act which may define
tyrant, is unfit to manage the gov
ernment ofa free people, and it should
not be encouraged by their votes.
Every vote given for the candidates
of the Republican party this spring,
tends to approve of and confirm ar
bitrary acts; and to, encourage the
extreme Radical leaders to still fur
ther deeds of aggression.

TINS season does not promise to
yield as abundant supply of sugar as
was anticipated, yet quite a large
quantity has been made so far. More

this town, and the sap is reported to
be sweeter than usual.
One thousand dollars have been
subscribed, to enlarge and repair the

amount of business of this kind that is.
carried on by Mr.. Hancock at this
place. This village by its location, and
convenient facilities for transportation,
offers many superior advantages for
all kinds of manufacturing enlerpri-
ses, and only needs the employment
of some of the idle capital that is so
selfshly locked up in bonds, to add
materially to the real wealth and pros
perity of this village, and the sur

ED. Dem. Press: For ten DAYS past
this town has been in turmoil and
trouble. Mention was made some
time since of change Of Postmaster
in this place. The friends of the re-
spective cap2idates gave due notice
that vc..e would be taken on town
meeaIng day. The two candidates
were VIM. x. Ricksecker, the Present
incumbent, and S. 6. Hatch, the Sol
dier Boy" The Democrats who were
invited to participate (without re-
gard to previous condition &C., &C.,
q la mode fifteenth amendment,)
thought that it would not be necessary
for them to vote for change believ-
ing that the "wards of the Nation" !"
in the hands of that party that passed
resolutions declaring that when "Jon-
ME came marching home" he should
be made the recipient of all the honors
offices and emoluments that were in
the gift of the people, would care for
him, But it has been said that Re-
publies are ungratcful, and some be-
gin to think that Republicans are too,
for out of 150 votes the Soldier Boy
received Al. Comment is unnecessa-
ry. 1 wont say "Shoo Fly" but will
add "Show pity, Lord, o, Lord, for
give. Send Alphonso up this way OF
some other good man, quick. AK
The Democrats elected one Trustee.

There has been shipped from this

He then got on horse and rode in
great haste to Alliance, eight miles, to
procure the services of some other

looking in vain for it in the upper
part of the throat, conceived the idea
of inserting very small horseshoe

the magnet with small cord, and to
the great astonishment of all who
witnessed the operation, on the with
drawal of the magnet the pin was
clinging to it.-AUsance Monitor.

THE Internal Revenue Department
has decided that farmers who go to
market regularly each week, and sell
produce from the curbstone must pay
a special tax as produce brokers. The
Commissioner says; "Farmers are ex-
empt from special tax when selling
their produce at the place of produc-
ton, or in the manner of peddlers, but
selling at the market place, even tho
a different stand or station is taken
every day, is not selling in the manner
of peddler."

The Issues in the Connecticut Election

The N. Y. Herald, published on the
morning of the late Connecticut election,
revealed the issue and the plan Of the
battle, as follows:
The campaign has been mainly fought
by the republicans on the merits Of Gen.
eral Grants administration, Congress and
the republican party and on the other
side in the usual Democratic denunciations
of Grant, congress and all concerned
The result, then, though not amounting
to much any way, will be an endorsement
or dsapproval of Grant and Congress by
Connecticut; but still victory to the
Democracy even in Connecticut, at this
juncturc, will be of great value to them
in indicating not oaly that the party still
lives, but that it is actually gaining
ground.
The weather was stormy on election day,
and the vote was light. The Democratic
vote does not show as great a falling of
as the republican vote does; but this is
due to the accessions which the Democrats
ic party received from the republican
ranks, not to the supposed fact that more
republicans than Democrats staid away
from the polls. Had the weather been
favorable, and full vote polled, and had
the negroes all voted the republican ticket,
the State would still have gone Democratic.
