A Sad Exhibition. .
We copy elsewhere 11 full report of the ;
Democratic Convention, held at Hartford on
Wednesday lust, which resulted, as all men
knew, whether they will admit it or not, in
the nomination of a man, whose election as
Governor of Connecticut, would occasion
more rejoicing in Richmond than in any
part of the loyal North. Was not that also
a sad and sickening spectacle at their pre-
liminary meeting the night previous, when
for two hours, the leaders of that Convention
poured out the most unmeasured abuse up-
ment, with not one word of reproach or rebuke
for the rebels who murdered our sons and
brothers, stripped their stifi‘ened corpses
on the battle-field, dug up, dishonored and
mutilated their decaying bodies. The hang-
ings, the arsons, the robberies of our Union
brethren at the South, found no defenders
there. The imploring entreatics for succor
from» all the wilds of the South, now as-
cending up to Heaven from these hunted
Union m'en, received not one word of sympa-
thy, or pity, or of consolation. Silent reflec-
tion upon such a record will be more potent
.than words of ours, and we drop the melan-
choly spectacle.

Les Miserables.
We have received from the publishers, W.

through A. Selleck, a copy of their edition
of Victor Hugo’s great work, “Les Misera-
bles.” This edition is claimed to be an au-
thorized English translation, by‘ Lascelles
Wraxall, who says of it, in the preface :——“No
other merit is claimed for the following ver-
sion of Les Miserables, than the most scrupu-
lous fidelity, and my chief anxiety has been
to keep myself out of sight, and give the pre-
cise meaning of every word as written by the
author.” The five parts, Fantine, Cosette,
Marius, St. Denis and Valjean, are bound in
one large volume of 476 pages, closely print-
ed, and on heavy paper. Selleck sells them
for $1.50, which is a very low price. This
book is making a great sensation in the lit-
W
The New Military Company.
In order to organize this Company, it is
necessary to obtain eleven more members——

organization immediately, so that the com-
pany can obtain a position in the regiment

Guyer and Major Norton.

Editorial Correspondence.
[Concluded from last week]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12th, 1863. . ,
We have great pleasure in being able 'to
state that Senator Dixon proposes to give
his attention to the subject of our soldiers’
express facilities; and we trust the time is
not far 011‘ when our boys will receive all
that may be sent them from home, without
delay or defalcation.
“Fighting Joe Hooker” is going to earn
the title of “working Joe Hooker” as well.
He is reported to be instituting some needed
reforms in the Army of the Potomac.
Among other things, furloughsand leaves; 911‘,
absence are to be diminished and strictly
regulated. This alone will add greatly to the
efficiency of the army. It is well known
that while Gen. McClellan,in this campaign,
on the Peninsula, was crying out for more
men, and making the lack of troops his ex-
cuse for imbecility, he had furloughed not
less than thirty-two thousand men, from that
army himself. We hope that under General
Hooker’s management, no such gigantic
abuse as this will be permitted. .
I have met large numbers Of Connecticut
gentlemen at Aquia Creek, looking after
their relations in our regiments, and as the
crowd is not likely to diminish, I feel I am
doing all such a favor by stating that J. E.
Merriam, late of Meriden, has just opened
a large and spacious Dining Hall, where
Connecticut friends will be well cared for—
a matter that former visitors can realize as.
of vital importance in that locality. The N.
Y. Tribune, has also evinced its enterprise in
the erection of a capacious wooden build-
ing as its Army Head Quarters, for the sup-
ply of its papers near the landing, where
I found a most comfortable place to sleep
and give the hint under the impression that
other friends of that journal may find sim-
ilary hospitalities extended.
Speaking of the Tribune “sign” in the Po-
tomac army. It is only since an end has
come to the man-worshipping spell which
has so long bound this army in utter inac-
tion, that the N. Y. Times, Post or Tribune,
would be tolerated, or boys permitted to sell
them, where officers of a certain class had
the authority to exclude them. The field
was thus exclusively held by the pestiferous
Herald and treason-loving World, and most
vigorously did they ply their advantage. A
very different regime is now inaugurated, and
a newsboy carries any loyal paper he can
sell. The result is that while the circulation
of the Herald is rapidly diminishing in the
army, and the World only got ofi‘ by being
paid for by Mayor Wood politicians, for the
evil it may do, and given away, the Tribune
is bought by our soldiers by the thousands,
and the Times, Post, dc, are welcome visit-
ors. We move, and so will this re-organized
army.
Mention of the Tribune recalls a vigorous
discussion which took place in the cabin of
the Aquia Creek Boat as I went down, be-
tween a friend of Mr. Greely anda gentleman
purporting to be a confidential friend and
admirer of Thurlow Weed, and forcibly
illustrates one 'of those sad, axioms of our
frail humanity—“ that we always hate those
whom we have sought to injure,” said the
Albany man, explaining and justifying Mr.
Weed’s anamolous position. “ He, (Mr. W.)
had ever labored hard for his party. He
asked no reward of place or position, pre-
ferring to stand in the back ground and
make other men. He looked upon Mr. Sew-
ard with the fond idolatory of a father upon
a son. In a political sense, it might be said,
he had made him. He had watched his ad-
vancement with unmeasured pride and hope,
as all tending to compose the one great end
of his ambition for him. Thus he went to
Chicago (with his regiment of N. Y. lobby
delegates,) and here the one great purpose,
end hnd aim of his political aspirations were
thwarted. He who had never before had a
settled purpoSe thwarted, here met his first
defeat—a Waterloo overthrow; “and Mr.
Weed must have been something more than
man,” said his defender, “not to have sought
out and assaulted the secret power which
had thus crushed the centered hopes of his
life.” “ But,” replied the 'Greely man, “ I
was at the Chicago Convention, and saw
much of both Mr. Weed and Mr. Greely, and
am very confident that Mr. Weed does him-
self, as well as our cause and Mr. Greely,
gross injustice in making him the Mordecai
of all his disappointment. I am sure Mr.
Weed had fifty words in Mr. Seward’s praise
to one uttered by Greely adversely to him.
Mr. Weed. might with as much justice, lay
his defeat upon any one of fifty other dele-
gates as upon Mr. Greely.” “Well, Mr. Weed
doesn’t thin]: so, and as he has ‘made his pile
and retired, he lives hereafter for the one sole
purpose of crushing Horace Greely.” “ The
‘ crushing, part,” said the Greely man, “will,
I apprehend, from the beginning he has
made, turn out much after the fashion of the
bull, which squared itself to crush the ap-
proaching locomotive. The first collision
laid Mr. Bull out stark and stiff in the ad-
joining meadow, when a soloquising Irish-
man shouted out, “Arab, Mr. Bull, ye’s had
a big hit of courage, but d—n yer discretion.”
The discussion here ended in a general
roar of laughter, but there was one at least,
who confessed to a feeling of sadness in
contemplating the closing career of our po-
litical Goliahs—one whom, from earliest
boyhood, had learned to love and revere;
the mention of whose name ever brought to
mind in association, my great ideals of polit-
ical greatness—Clay and Webster, and who
now, at the close of life, by the confession of
his defenders, turns his face to the wall and
lets its light go out in bitterness, disappoint-
ment and revenge. Surely such a character
were deserving of no such unworthy end.
Gov. Buckingham arrived here yesterday
to take cognizance personally of the welfare
of our troops. He has already two Connec-
ticut physicians engaged in looking after the
health of the regiments and the Sick in Hos-
pitals. He is also determined to do all in
his power towards securing the removal of
our sick and wounded to our State Hospitals,
and to arrange for the regular monthly pay-
ment of our troops by the State. No man
has been or can be more indefatigueablc in
his devotion to the soldier, and had they
the power to express their gratitude by their
vote, an almost unanimous vote would go
up from our boys for our noble Chief Magis-
trate. But this they cannot do, to the great
joy of the democracy, but their friends at
home can, and I trust, will give effective ex-
pression to their gratitude.
The political cauldron already begins to
boil at the fountain head. The loco clerks,
&c., who have been retained in office to the
almost entire exclusion of any friends of the
Administration, are already being assessed to
create a “ corruption fund," with which to
carry the State elections of New Hampshire
and Connecticut. Let our friends be pre-
pared for it. . . ’

The Seymour Copperhead Con-

The New London Star, an outspoken
Democratic p'pcr, comes out with an
outspoken protest against the action of
the Democratic Convention. A large
number of Democrats, in every county of
the State, willfully endorse the language
of the Star.
The Star of Thursday says :—
“We publish to-day pretty fully, the
doings of the Democratic State Conven-
tion at Hartford, yesterday. At a fu-
itnre time we shall speak of it as we think
it deserves from a loyal stand point.
Thousands of loyal hearts in the re;
public will grieve to read some of the
resolutions and Speeches. They will be
utterly astonished that there should be an
attempt in a New-England state—one so
full of' glorious historic memories, which
contains the ashes of a Leydyard and a
Hale—a State that has furnished nearly
40,000 men to rescue the life of the na-
tion from the hands of traitors— to in-
augurate a Peace movement giving direct
aid and comfort to the eneny. But we
have not time or space to say what we
wish to day. For ourselves, we will
touch nothing that has the smell of se-
cession about it, label it what they may.
We are for our Country, first, last, and
forever. These are no half‘way times.
The Government must be sustained, or
perish. We shall do what little lies in
our power to sustain it our posterity
shall not say that we gave aid or comfort
to the Rebellion.”

Marshall in Baltimore on Thursday,
while a salute to Gen. Butler was being
fired from the fort. Just as the general
and his party had passed along the ram-
parts, thc gunner, supposing the whole
party had passed, fired a 32-pounder.
Just then, some of the party, who had
loitered behind, came up, and Com. Max-
wcll Woodhull, U. S. N., received the
whole charge, which blew the flesh from
his lower limbs, and caused his death in

feet. He was fifty years of age.

The State Militia.
A well organized State Militia is de-
sirable even in time of peace, and in
time of war becomes almost indispensable
since no one can tell what exigencies may
arise requiring the immediate action of a
military force. Under the law as it
stood previous to the. extra session of the
Legislature, no great inducementswm‘c
ofi’cred for the citizen to enter the active
militia. But as the law now stands it
would seem that there should be no diffi-
culty in filling the required number of
companies. The citizen who now enters
the active militia is relieved from all dau-
ger of a draft, and can only be called
out with his company for service three
months in a. year. Every one can see
that the service required in that time
would most likely be to perform garrison
duty, thus relieving the regular soldiers
in the service and enabling them to co to
the front. A premium is thus offered by
the State for entering into the active mi: ,
litia. To not join a militia company may.
render a man liable to do service in the
'armytfor whatever time the orders for, a.
draft require.

7 the United States,
Death of Hon. Roger S. Bald-
win.
Hon. Roger Sherman Baldwin died
this (Thursday) morning, at his residence
in New Haven, in the seventylirst year
of his age. He was Governor of the
state in 1844 and 1845, and in ’46 was
appointed by 'Gov. Bissell as U.- S.
Senator to fill the unexpired term of
Hon. Jabez W. Huntington, which ofiice
he held till 1851. -
Gov. Baldwin was a man of marked
talent, one of the ablcst men in the coun-
try, in the front rank of New England’s
fine minds, loved and esteemed in all the
relations of life. His death is a loss to
the state and nation. He came of good
revolutionary stock, his father being
Judge of the Supreme Court and his
mother a daughter of Roger Sherman,
signer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. He was a native of New Haven,
and graduated at Yale in 1811.

The Democratic Convention.
SECESH BAMPANT.
The convention was called to order at
10 o’clock, a. m. on Wednesday, at Tou-
ro Hall, Hartford, and Jeffrey O. Phelps
of Simsbury was made temporary chair-
man.
The attendance was large, the body of
the half being full of delegates, and the
galleries with Spectators. _
The Committee on resolutions Of one
from a Senatorial District was as follows:
1st, W. W. Eaton; 2d, Dr. Childs;
3d, Milo A. Holcomb ; 4th, Levi B.
Bradley; 5th, H. B. Munson ; 6th, Mr
Chidsey; ’lth, Wm. C. Morse; 8111, J.
A. Bill; 101b, W. A. Judson; 11th,
Wm. F. Taylor; 12th, J. H. Olm-
stead; 13th, Gen. Loyd A. Baldwin;
14th, Dan. A. Daniels; 15th, Ed. W
Seymour; 16th, Lewis Judd ; l'ith,
John C. Smith ; 18th, Edmund Stearns;
19th, Isaac Arnold ; 20th, Asa Willey:
2lst, John F. Dobson.
A committee was appointed to invite
Mr. 'l‘oucey to address the convention,
who soon after reported that Mr. Tou-
cey declined, but would take the stump
during the campaign.
The committee on permanent organi-
A. Phelps, who taking the chair, said : I
am the last man who expected to be call-
ed on to preside. There is great respon-
sibility resting upon us. We owe a du-
ty to our country. War is now desola-
ting the border States—n war which has
degenerated into a partisan contest for
the subjugation of half the people of the
land, and for the emancipation of the
slaves. Such a war must terminate dis-
astronsly. He then read a copy of a
letter written two years ago, when be de-
clined to take command of Colt’s regi-
ment, showing that he had always been
opposed to the war. He would join the
~army of peace-makers, and with the olive
branch penetrate to the very citadel of
the south and secure a lasting peace,
which could not be gained by arms.
Peace men were formerly branded as trai-
tors; but times had changed, and the
tide was rolling on.
A delegate from Newtown made a fu-
riOus speech about negro equality. From
what he could hear at the South, and
and what he could see in t t Conven-
tion, (and they were a goo cal alike)
he thought the peOple were about to rise
in their majesty and say “peacepbe still,.”
The Convention went into an informal
ballot for a candidate for Governor, it
being agreed that they should do so with-
out any preliininary nomination or dis-
cussion of candidates. -
The informal ballot resulted as fol-
lows :
Whole number of votes. 446
Thomas H. Seymour. 243
Wm. J. Hammersley. 7
Charles Chapman. 61
Charles R. Ingersoll. 29
Origen S. Seymour. 11
Samuel P. Ingham. 11
Charles F. Pond. 8
Charles R. Chapman.
Alfred E. Burr.
Alvan P. Hyde.
J. A. Hovey.
Ralph L Ingersoll. 1
Mr. Eaton then said he was author-
ized by Mr. Hammersley to peremptor-
ily withdraw his name, and he did so.
Three cheers were then called for, ” for
The hero of Chapultepec,” and given for
that man of war, when the " peace” Cou-
vention adjourned to 2 o’clock p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Constitution of the United States
and of the State of Connecticut, in Ger-
man, was distributed. (A member ex-
pressed the wish that it should be prin-
ted in English and distributed, as many
of his constituents knew nothing about it.
An attempt was then made to nomi-
nate Thomas H. Seymour by acclama-
tion, but a ballot being demanded, the
Convention proceeded to takeaformal
ballot for Governor, which resulted as
follows :
Whole number of votes.
Necessary to a choice.
For Thomas H, Seymour.
For Charles Chapman.
For Wm. J. Hammersley.
For 0. S. Se mour.
For Charles I . Ingersol.
For C. F. Pond.
‘For J. A. Hovey.
For Samuel Ingham.
For Lorcn'P. Waldo.
For C. R. Chapman.
On motion of Thomas Lawton, Esq.,
of New Haven, the nomination of Thom-
as H. Seymour was then made unanimous.
A committee was appointed to wait on
Governor Seymour and request his atten-
dencc. The nomination of a Lieutenant
Governor being next in order, J. A.
Hovey of Norwich, E. A. Russel of
Middletown, Daniel B. Warner of East
Haddam and Dr. George Taylor of New
Milford were named. JohnCotton Smith
of Sharon, in supporting Dr. Taylor said
he would relate an incident to show what
sort of a democrat he was : "Last fall,”
said John Cotton, “William A. Buck-
ingham, (I believe he is Governor Of
this state) went to New Milford with a
nominal Democrat who shall be nameless,
to make a war speech. [ This nominal
democrat was Hon. James C. Loomis
democratic candidate for Governor last
year.] ' Dr. Taylor was requested to
keep this democrat over night. “No sir."
said he," by no manner of means. If
he came here for a decent purpose, I’d
keep him but come here to make a war
Speech, 1’]! be damned first.”
The ballot for Lieutenant-Governor
was then taken, and this patriotic Dr.
Taylor received 103 votes. James A.
Hovey, of Norwich, was, however, nom.
inated, receiving 267 out of 439 votes.
Three faint cheers were then giVen for
Hovey.

Stamford, Dr. J. H. Hoyt, of Green-.

peared and nominated Ezra Morgan of
that place for Treasurer The Conven-
tion however couldn't we it, and was dis-
posed to fulfil the predictions of the dele-
gate’s forenoon speech by crying “ peace,
be still :” Levi B. Bradley thereupon
nominated Andrew L. Kidston of New
Haven, and the Convention ratified the
nomination by ucclamatou.
Wm. 11. Sabin, of l’omfret, was then
nominated for Comptroller, after a speech
by an Irishman from Windham County,
which the Speaker styled the “ most dark
diabolical county in the State,” but Mr.
Sabin declined
Lloyd E. Baldwin of Windham was
thereupon nominated.
A State Committee was then appoin-
ted, with Minott A. Osborne, Esq, of
the Register, as Chairman.
John Cotton Smith being called for,

t lug eXcept to eulogise Seymour as the
only man in the State who had talked
peace from the firing upon Sumter to
the present moment .
\V I). Bi~l10p, of l'il'itlgi-port, said he
was willing to Sprint his money freely in
the coming campaign. and he hoped Sey-

H. 11 Barbour, of Hartford, said that
one month ago they did not think it
would be safe to nominate Seymour, but
(the people now demanded it. We shall

We are against the war. The elections
in other States have not been understood
by the President. There have been too
many War Democrats chosen. When
Thomas H Seymour is elected, the Pres-
ident will understand what that means.
W. W. Eaton being loudly called for
said: For the last ten years the Demo—
cratic party has acted on the defensive.
Now we must carry the war into Africa.
At former Conventions it has been the
custom for one delegate to slily take a
resolution out of his pocket, and another
delegate to slily take out another from,
his pocket, and so patch up a platform
the effort being to see which party could
steer closest to the wind. We used to
say “we were just as much ,Opposcd to
slavery as anybody.” But we must st0p
all that. These troubles which are now
upon us have come because the Democrat-
ic party didn’t stand firm. I thank my
God that the Democratic party now
stands firm, and no longer talks about
being Opposed to slavery. I ask no fa-
vors from the miserable, contemptible,
Black Republican Abolition party.
charge that they have brought on this
war. I charge that Wm. A Bucking-
ham—dishonest, foully dishonest—sent
six men into a peace convention who he
knew would not vote for peace. God
Almighty never made a. purer ”patriot
than Thomas H. Seymour. Seymour did
did not wish to be nominated. Seymour
said that the events of the next twelve
months “might place the Governor in a
position Of great responsibility and dan-
ger,” and he would rather not be nom-
inated. Hartford delegates had not
worked for Seymour. The country towns
demanded his nomination. To-morrow
morning these Greeks here (meaning the
reporters) will be out, and one will call
Seymour a copperhcad and another a
traitor. God give Connecticut many
such traitors. The way to get beaten is
to act on the defensive. Go home and
make no apologies to the people of your
nomination. [Eaton seemed to clearly
appreciate the fact that apologies would
be expected by the people] Tell the peo-
ple you have nominated the best man in
the State. Make this a talking cam-
paign. Charge all the corruptions on
the Administration. The Democratic
party is honored all over the Union. I
have lived South many ycars[No doubt
about that.] When these resolutions we
ban adopted go through the country on
the wings of the lightening, I tell you
there will be startled readings all over
the Union. When the Southerners see a
man as our standard bearer whom they‘
love, (they do that) the brave men and
the lovely women of the South will say
“let us have peace.” We will stand by
the South. A few victories, such as we
shall inaugurate, and the Union will be
restored.
Three cheers for Eaton.
So the Democratic State ticket is as
follows:
For Governor.
Tnouas H. Summon of Hartford.
For Lieutenant Governor,
Janus A. Hover, of Norwich,
For Secretary of State,
J. H. How, of Greenwich.
For Treasurer,

For Comptroller,

The Ravings of Treason.
At the Copperhead caucus held in
Hartford, Tuesday evening, Mr. Galla-.
gher of New Haven was prominent as a
speaker. We give below the report
made by the Hartford Pressz. If
the intelligent freeman Of this State are
ready and willing to endorse such trea-
s'onablc raviugs—if they are willing to ac-
cept for leaders men who utter such dam-
uable sentiments—if they are willing to
accept teachings of men who publicly
recommend the use of personal violence on
the officers of the law—then we have mis~
taken the character of Connecticut free-
man. Hear this champion of “ law
and order.”
Mr. James Gallagher of New Haven
was called up. He gave an account of
the stopping of a “peace meeting” at Say-
brook a year ago last Summer, when he
had sworn to live or die with W. W.
Eaton. [Fortunately both the gentle-
man lived.] He spoke of the arrests made
by this tyranical administration, and, in
connection with the subject, said: “We
shall say to the government, ‘Lay hands
on a citizen of Connecticut, and, by the
Gods, you shall die, or I will,!” He
said, “A friend of mine asked me What I
would do if Marshal Carr should under-
take to arrest me. I said, ‘I would kill
him, damn him! I would kill biml’ And
I say to you, if one of these infamous
wbelps should attempt to arrest any of
you, without due process of law, kill ’em,
damn ’em, kill ’eml” [Cries of “Kill
’em! damn ’ep! kill ’eml” all over the
house]- After telling a dirty story about
he asked his hearers if they were prepar-
ed to give up the liberties.their fathers
hadflfought for. In the war of 1812, Con-
uccticut refused to send any troops to the
aid of the government; let the governor
and legislature do the same thing now.
