Will not be put to press till Wednesday
morning, in order to enable us to give the re-
sult ofthe election in the State.
«0»
Are you for or against the Union ?
At a time like the present, when treason is
rampant in the land,it would seem that there
could be but one sentiment and one party,and
that sentiment and that party FOR THE UN-
ION, TEE CONSTITUTION AND THE INTEGRITY
on THE GOVERNMENT. A popular election
has been held, in which the spirit and all the
forms of law have been complied with, and
by a vote of THREE MILLIONS FOUR HUND-
RED THOUSAND, against a total vote of eight
hundred thousand, have the people declared
against the nest of corruptionists, thieves and
defiant traitors who have ruled and so nearly
ruined this, the noblest fabric of human gov-
ernment ever instituted by man ! And now
to-day, right here in Connecticut, with, the
subtlety of the serpent when he entered the
garden of Eden, we find the fragments of a
once powerful but now totally demoralized
and disrupted party joining itself to the
scattered remnants of every other political
faction, and unblushingly appealing to the
honest voters of the State to come up to the
ballot-boa: on Monday nezl,to endorse the admin.
{titration of James Buchanan ; to endorse the
squandering of the national treasure, and the
ruin of our national credit; to endorse the
thefts of John B. Floyd; to endorse the trea-
son of Thompson, of Cobb, of Floyd, of Tou-
cey and the "not unreasonable" doctrines of
Loomis.
And with what specious sophistries do
they seek to divert the indignant gaze of an
outraged people? Why, they will tell you
thatMr. Ferry is ultra : he won’t compromise ,-
he opposed Mr. Crittenden’s plan! Well,
the Northern democracy burst up two Na-
tional Conventions themselves, rather than
swallow doctrines less odious than the Crit-
tenden plan, and if they were consistent and
honest every Douglas democrat in the 4th
Congressional district, would now be found
earnestly supporting Mr. FERRY. But he
voted against the Cor-win Resolutions says an-
other. Grant it, and well may he have had
grave doubts in giving in his support to
measures so extraordinary, and radically af-
fecting the fundamental law of the land,
while personally assured, as he was, by every
bOrder State Union man that it was a useless
measure and did not touch the root of the dwi-
eulty, and by every Cotton States man reject-
ed with utter disdain. But these resolutions
were carried; if they are to do any good Mr.
Perry’s vote has not prevented it; it is a
question for time to determine whether after
all he did not act wisely and well. As we
have said, the Corwin Amendment was car-
ried, and wouldn’t it be well to enquire how
it has been received at the South. What South-
ern Legislature, several of which were in
session, have given it the endorsement of
their approval? Not one!
But while Mr. Ferry opposed irregular and
unasked for Amendments to the Constitution
and especially the unalte-rable clause of the
Corwin Amendment, he was disposed to re-
move all reasonable cause of complaint, and
his votes show that 11E DID sustain the long
series of Resolutions reported by Mr.Corwiu
-'requesting the States to overhaul their
statutes and repeal any found to be in con-
flict with the Constitution or laws of the U.
S.———denouncing lawless invasions, &c.
Further than this, he voted for 9. NATIONAL
CONVENTION of all the States that the mat-
ter as to a change of the Constitution, might
be referred directly to the people as express-
ly provided by the fifth section of that In-
strument itself. Thisproposition, originally
made by the Legislature of Kentucky, the
home ofCrittenden, MR. FERRY. WAS THE
truer MAN IN THE COMMITTEE on THIRTY-
THREE To INTRODUCE AND URGE ITs ADOP-
TION! And we hesitate not to avow our de-
liberate conviction that this is the way and the
only way which can afford an effectual means
of escape from our present difficulties, and
restore peace to the country. It has already
been passed upon by the Legislatures of
Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and even
$60, ignoring the plan of her eminent son,
9
just given it: endorsement to this plan so}
can be heard. The Soulh and the North can
talk up their matters of grievance and in the
hands of the people was Illr. Ferry ready and
anxious to place the whole matter. He also
voted over and over again that the National
Government had no right to interfere with
slavery in any State. WAS NOT TIIAT
ENOUGH.
While the enemies of Mr. Ferry and the
Union, at home, were yelping like blood-
hounds on his track, we happen to know that
his manly forbearance and spirit of concilia-
tion, even when stating unwholesome truths,
commended him to the respect and esteem
of the Union loving men of the Border
States, and no man in Congress enjoyed
more fully the confidence and social inter-
course Of such men as Millson of Virginia,
Etheridge of Tennessee, Winter Davis of
Read his speech, as published in the Bridge-
port Farmer, and you will not find a single
sentiment therein contained which would
not receive the endorsement of these men,
and the most hearty Amen. of brave old AN-
DREw JOHNSON of Tennessee. And because
Mr. Ferry has on one occasion refused to
tender a sop to Slavery which nobody on the
other side asked, or were calling to receive and
which Ohio herself now proposes to replace by
the very measures Mr. Ferry sought to intro-
duco and carry, you freeman of Connecticut,

last fall, are invited and urged to desert your

Democratic Economy.
Four years ago the Democracy took the
National Government in charge with over
Twenty Millions of dollars in the treasury.
The Fourth day of inst. March, they resigned
it without a dollar in the treasury, and the
Nation a Hundred Million Dollars in debt, and
the public credit so reduced as to be compel-
led to pay twelve per cent. per annum before it
could borrow ! And yet Republicans are invi-
ted to desert their own principles and candi-
dates, and endorse such aparty as this! Nay
more ! they have been the open and unblush- ‘
ing aiders and abettors of the da'sruptibn of
the Government itself, and these men now
have the cool audacity to call on Republicans
to aid them in restoration to power! A Big

Extract from a Letter of a. Gentleman in Ala-

“We feel that we have been shamefully
betrayed. On all sides we. were assured that
before the end of January a compromise
would be tendered by the North, such as
Would be acceptable to the South. More than
two months since, my neighbor G—, Showed
me a letter from a prominent democrat in
New York, in which the writer says :—‘ If
Georgia and Alabama follow South Caroli-
na and secede, the Republicans in Congress
will abandon their Chicago Platform, and the
recovery ofthe Democracy in several of the
free States follows of course.’ Now as Con-
gress has adjourned without a surrender of
principle on the part of the Republicans, I
should like to know how and when we are
to get back. A large portion of our people
have never contemplated a permanent sepa-
ration from the North, and the Politicians
who have got us into the scrape have along
account to settle ere long. I notice that the
New York papers speak of a limited South-
ern trade. This State and Mississippi bought
quite too many goods in 1859 and ’60, and a
sure revulsion was in stoie for us aside from
our political troubles. All our available re-
sources this year are required for the pur
chase of food." ,

WA good thing hi told us of our

always has an eye to business. One of his

with a Republican on the defeat of a candi-
date of the opposite party, when Brad. re-
marked that “he always bet to win," and so
he would take that bet. That he will win
there isn't a shadow of doubt. Hurlbutt
never lets his politics prevent him from turn-
ing an honest penny, nor does it prevent
him from treating his customers in a gentle-
manly and courteous manner when they
come to trade with him,—’~which is more
than can be said of every democrat in the

C'crrespondence of the Gazette..
HARTFORD, March 21, 1861.
You will observe that the Times of this city has
opened his squash battery again upon your Con-
gressman, Mr. Perry. Mr. Burr was a little worried
at your severe cut, more especially as it is generally
understood in this region that the Gazette is always
fair and straightforward in its statements and po-
litical censures, So in order to screen himself from-
the contempt in which he is universally held in this
city by the community at large. Mr. Burr hunts up
an old Pittsfield Sun, and reiterates a rumor that
paper gave last "December, that amounted to noth-
ing, and does not even sustain the charge the Times
originally made, for instead of reading that Mr.
Perry counselled “not to yield an inch to save the
Cnion,"‘the rumor has it (for mind yen the Sun edi-
tor didn't pretend he heard any such remark,)\thst
Mr. Ferry said it was the “ determination of the Re-
publican Members of Congress to adhere to their
position and not fo'swerve an inch.“ Quite a dif-
ference. I remember seeing the quotation from the
Sun at the time it originally appeared and it was the
most cheering assurance, and sent a thrill of joy
through the land, for we knew something of the
pressure that was brought to bear on our Represen-
tatives in Congress, in the hope of frightening
them out of their conscientious convicttons of duty.
Thank heaven the Connecticut Representatives re~
mained firm, and the future will show their wisdom.
The coming election fauna of great importance. In-
deed, it seems to me that in some of its aspects itis
more so than in any State in the Union. For defen-
ders of treason and corruption. Connecticut,through
its organs, such as the Times, Register and Farmero
takes the lead, In no other State has there been
such bold open-mouthed complicity with the Seces-
sionists. The Times is governed by a few bloated,
swaggering aristocrats, who talk broadly about
resisting the passage ofthe “assassins of Massachu-
setts," on their way to uphold and sustain the gov-
ernment and the laws of the country. The
Douglas democracy have succumbed and so now
a victory even in one 01' our Congressional Districts
would he hailed with a yell of delight in every trai~
tor‘s camp throughout. the United Southern Confed-
eracy. Hence the savage attack of the Times upon
the Candidates for Congress. For this very reason
it belongs to every Republican to take hold and aid
And though I would not draw any iuviduous
comparisons, I believe it. is universally acknowl-
edged that Mr. Ferry, both in his most admirable
speeches as well as by his manly and faithful adhe-
rcncc to the cause of humanity and the cause of hu-
manity and the welfare of the whole country. takes
first rank among allof our well deserving candidates,
I want to hear that you Republicans in old Fairfleld,
appreciate ' the talents and manly courage which
have marked the man by giving him :a round 1,000
majority. Such a backing up of his District would
place him in the next Congress in front rank, bo-
sldcs the good effect it wou:d have on the South,
among those who desire to be faithful to their coun-
try. but are nowhesitating, fearing that the North
will cower before the threats of the traitors.

WEVERY VOTE for the Democratic

So says the democratic candidate for gov-

unreasonabie and (reasonable. Etheridge,
Stokes, Millson, Davis, Clemens, Gilmer,
Hamilton, Bouligny,_all say it is unreasona-

both denounce it as a crime. All the border
states have répudiatédit by majorities un-

these? Is she. less: patriotic than they?

A Cheerful Letter from Woodmff’s Dis-
triet.
In your Herald of February 22d, you say,
“Honest John Woodruff, Republican, is
the present occupant of the position, and we
only regret that the chances are not fairer
for his retainind it.”
It is not a little amusing to hear the 301'-
rowful tones that comedown from the far
of hills of thchfield County, relating to our
worthy Congressman of the Second Dis-
trict. Now. Mr. Editor, if you will lay dov'vn
your editorial quill and just come down in-
to the midst of the field and see for yourself,
we will let you go home and write, just as
you have seen. You do not take into the
account that Lincoln’s majority in the sec
ond District was, on the-6th 'of November,
above nine hundred over all. You do not
take into the account that “Honest John
Woodrufi‘” is a man of the people and has a
firmer hold on the good will of all the voters
of the Second than any other man who has
ever represented that district. You dont
take into the account that Mr. Woodrufi‘ ran
three hundred and seventy five ahead of his
ticket when last elected. You don’t take in-
to the account that we have had a Registry
Law enacted since the lst of April, 1860.—
You do not take into the account that Mid-
dlosex County went b a handsome majori-
ty for Lincoln in J. ov. for the first time,
the Whigs never carrying the county, and
the Republicans are increasing in the old
Democratic stronghold. Republicans there
have long been in the school of training,and
understand what secession and treason to
the government means. So we beg, as an
old friend, Mr. Editor, to take your harp
down from the willows, and play a lively
air for the
SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

SECTIONAL HOSTILITY.—Maj0r Hawkins
of Brandon, Miss, was sent to the North to
get Corn for the starving in that vicinity.—
He took a list of the poor in his neighbor-
hood who were too poor to buy, and who
would starve without assistance. On arri-
ving in Springfield, 111., (the home of Abra-
ham Lincoln,) so he writes to the Brandon
Republican, a committee was formed to so
licit subscriptions, and a thousand bushels of
corn were at once contributed. They can
further have credit for all they want. The
Republican makes the following remarks on
Major Hawkin‘s letter:
“How humiliating to every Mississippian
to know that after cursing and denouncing
the people of the North, as our citizens have
been in the habit of denouncing them, we
are compelled to turn round and beg them
for bread, and they in turn are trying to kill
us with kindness, by treating our agent with
the greatest respect, and not only giving him
more than he asked for, but paying for the
sacks to put in. It certainly places us in a
very humiliating position, and we heard Ma-
jor Hawkins abused:be going there and beg-
ging corn, but we say he has done right,_and
thousands of starving children, widows and
orphans will bless him for his efforts to keep
them from perishing with hunger. Some
narrow-minded, centemptible demagogues
say that the citizenson Illinois gives us Corn
because they tear us and wish to get on good
terms again. We believe they are aclur-
ted by purely Christian, motives, and. that
they have purer and better hearts than those
who make such charges. Whilst we would
rather labor day and night from one year to
another than beg either from them or any
body else, we would not hesitate to beg if
our little ones were starving.

definition which will be likely to frighten II
good many respectable old fogies who tho’t
they were safe :
An abolitionist is any man who does not
love slavery for its own sake, as a divine in-
stitution; who does not worship it as the
comer-stone ofcivil liberty; who does so:
adore It as the only possible social condition
on which a permanent republican goverum't
can be erected; and who does not in his in-
most soul desire to see it extended and per-
petuated over the whole earth, as a means of
reformation second in dignity, importance
9nd sacredness alone to the Christian relig-
109. He who does not love African Slavery
With this love is an abolitionist.
