ANCIS M. HAWLEr, Chairman Senatorial Committee. , The Coming Election. From all parts of the State we hear cheer- ing reports of the indications of our success on the first Monday of April. The differen- ces between the President and Congress, which for a moment cast a gloom upon the future, and afforded to the enemies of the country a transient gleam of satisfaction, on- ly serve to stimulate all Union men to more- active effort to retain the loyal ascendancy in Connecticut as it. has been retained for the last eight years. We spoke last week of the President’s veto message and speech of Feb. 22, exactly as we thought they should be spo- ken of, yet we have never believed that An- drew Johnson could deliberately abandon the proud position which he has won during the last four years, t6 become an instrument of Copperhead designs. The developments Of the past week have encouraged us to hope for an early termination of the acerbity of feeling which has existed in Washington. If the President complains that Messrs. Sum- ~ ner and Stevens have at times spoken harsh- ly of him on the floor of Congress, he cer- tainly has retorted upon them in full mea- sure from the steps of the White House, and there both parties can afford to let the mat- ter drop. Meanwhile the people will not en- ter into these personal quarrels, but will stand firmly for the principles won which the war for the Union has been waged. They will not allow the South to share again in the government Of the republic without first giving the guaranties which the President prescribed in his annual message. That these guaranties have not been given is notorious, and Congress now is the only power which can compel them. The loyal men of the country everywhere will demand both Of President and Congress, that this ma‘tter be rendered sure beyond contingency. Feeling thus, the Republicans of Connecti- cut are entering upon the campaign before them with their accustomed earnestness. The New Haven meeting, at which Senator Doolittle spoke, was declared by its chair- man to have been called tc further the elec- tion of that “able citizen and tried soldier, Gen. HAWLEY,” and the ratification meeting at Hartford was an enthusiastic rally of the people for the same purpose. We see meet- ings advertised for next week in many of the principal cities and towns, and in our own town an active Campaign Club has al- ready been formed, under whose auspices we are confident that Norwalk will roll up its accustomed majority. Let us all take hold, then, with a will, and let our opponents know that if we choose to indulge in a free fight among ourselves occasionally, we do not intend nevertheless to let a Copperhead pop up his ugly nose without smashing it. «Q.» Q'We trust That no one into whose hands this paper shall fall, will fail to read the ADDREss ON THE STATE CENTRAL COM- MITTEE. It is the most powerful document of the day,and we give'much of our Editorial space to it this week. «.>oo———- WA large Meeting was held in Hartford at Allyn Hall, on Friday evening last, to rati- fy the Republican nominations for State offi- cers. Gen. Ferry, Gen. Stewart L. Wood- ford, and our candidate for Governor—Gen. J.R. Hawley, were present and made elo- quent speeches. s‘.>. wAlex. H. Stevens; late Vice President of the Southern Confederacy, and still an unpardoned rebel, has been elected to Con- gress as Senator from Georgia, and some people at the North advocate his immediate admission, notwithstanding the fact that Pres. Johnson has announced himself as in favor Of “punishing the intelligent rebels.” the next gale that sweeps from the south will bring to our ears the news that J efierson Da- vis hasbeen elected to Congress as the rep- resentative of a “Sovereign State” of the South. And then, of course, these same en- dorsers of Pres. Johnson will urge him to release the “ Hon. Jefferson" from his un- pleasant confinement, and allow him to take his seat, and proceed to make laWs for the Nation.And then—the happy family will fur- ther be “reconstructed” by the admission of all the Old“flre eaters”and“intelligent rebels” and we shall have the “good old times” over again. Is this indecd,a consummation most devoutly to he wished ? «Op-P— Humorous—An unusually deep religious interest is prevailing throughout the town. The revival at the Second M.E. Church con- tinues with increased interest, and on Sun- day last fifty persons were received into the Church on probation. Five persons were admitted into the First Congregational Church, on profession of faith, and several by letter; at the First Baptist Church two persons were baptized.

DEAR GAZE'I‘TEzv—Ii. is with no light or frivolous appreciation of the significance of terms or of the political situation, when I as- sure you that the atmosphere, at least at one end Of Pennsylvania. Avenue, has improved. There has been so much rccrimiuation and scolding done of late at “either end of the line,” that the last week’s outburst, which so saddened us all, has after all turned out a sort of thunder gust, which has purified the public sentiment and settled the people and Congress down more firmly in their adhe- rence to the principles, of liberty, and the de- termination to acquit themselves of their du- ty and responsibility with the dignity and forbearance of FREE AMERICAN CITIZENS. A caucus was at once held at the capital immediately after the disreputable perform- ances at the White House on the 22d, where it was resolved that no retort upon the Pres- ident should be made by any Union member in either House, but that the business of leg- islation should he proceeded with precisely as if in the most friendly accord with the Ex- ecutive. The nation cannot have failed to notice this fact in the Congressional action Of the past week. No Republican member has lost his self-respect so far as to betray the least irritation at the false and inexcusable arraignment of the President. As the moon at which the dog barked so lustily kept shi- ning on, so Congress has neither delayed or hurried any measure in its keeping—while the dignified, temperate and conciliatory spirit thus displayed by them has undoubt- edly had the same eflgct upon the country. The indignation and excitement Of last week has tempered down—all seem to breathe freer, and if there be any lasting effect likely to be produced by the untoWard event, it is one of deeper loathing for the SHAMELESS HrPOORIsv of those men who, at Chicago, declared the “war a failure," our soldiers “hirelings,” the rebels saints, Jeff. Davis a very deity, and who now fawn and flatter Andrew Johnson, whom they once so fierce- ly maligned and even thirsted for his blood. If because of an unfortunate habit insensi- bly acquired, or from a visitation of God, even more terrible, and which it is perhaps not improper to say excites serious appre- hension and true sympathy, our President be beguiled from that noble course marked out by himself but a few brief months agone, and can again make his bed with those whose records are black with the infamy of treason, so be it. But the loyal millions Of this free land will, nevertheless, turn, if with sadness yet with ever increasing admiration, to those electric utterances for Liberty, returned in answer to and in gIateful acceptance of the Republican nomination to the Vice-Presi- denc y, made on the 7th Of June, 1864. In that august and glorious future, which all those who have faith in the omnipotence of 'God believe awaits this Republic, these heroic utterances of Andrew Johnson will be read and admired, while his later words Of retrogression will have passed into merited oblivion. Let this fact, so patent to all, save every true man devoted to principle from subserviency, and infidelity to freedom, the Union, and liberty.

EDIToRs:-I am glad that the at- tention of the people of this borough has again been called to the want of a suflicient depth of water in the channel of the harbor between South Norwalk and the Bridge, it being entirely inadequate for the increasing coasting trade which now seeks this place, and I hope that a determined and successful effort will now be made to remedy this great want of this portion of the town. In reference to the best mode of increasing the depth of water in the channel between the two points, there are various opinions and plans suggested. Some propose to build a dam and lock near the railroad bridge at South Norwalk, others to dredge the present channel at the shoal points, while others pro- pose to cut a new and straight channel from the lower end of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad docks to Pine Island creek. Let me briefly state the advantages and disadvantages of each plan as they appearlto me on careful reflection. First, the dam and lock, as proposed by a writer in a recent number of the Gazette, would certainly give us a fine pond with probably nine feet of water, which in my opinion is not a sufficient depth for the wants of the place. A dam could not be raised higher than to give nine feet of water, as it would overflow our wharves and the track of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad for a larger portion of the distance between Nor: walk and South Norwalk- Again, the ten- dency of the deeper portions of ponds sup- plied by river water is to fill up by the de- bris brought down in freshets, and the wri- ter believes that in less than ten years there would not be six feet of water above the pro- posed dam, if it should be constructed. Next, the cost of a dam and lock that would let through such vessels as ought to be employed in freighting lumber and coal would proba- bly reach the sum of three hundred thousand dollars. The estimate made by the division engineer of the New York and New Haven Railroad Company when that road was in course of construction, for a dam and a lock much smaller than now needed, was one hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars. As labor and materials are at least sixty per cent. higher now than when the estimate was made, I think three hundred thousand dollars is the least that can be. safely estima- ted as the present cost. ' There is another objection to a pond proj- ect in the fact that we should be shut out of water communication most Of the winter, as the ice would be fresh water ice, and not wasted and broken as now by the rising and falling of the tides. It then would appear that the great cost, with the small increase Of depth of water we should gain by a dam and lock, saying nothing about the gradual filling up of the channel, or the ice in Win- ter, would be a fatal objection to this scheme, even could the money be obtained to carry it into effect. ' The next plan is to dredge out the present channel to a depth of nine feet at high wa- ter. This plan would probably cost some twenty or more thousand dollars, and would be a good one were it not for the fact that the channel is so crooked that the eddies would soon again reform the same bars, and “"15 in a few years it would be necessary to dredge again. The third plan is onethat, when suggested to the late Harvey Smith, Esq, who was at the time superintendent and engineer of the Danbury and N orwalk Railroad, was adopt- ed by him and recommended to the board of directors of that road as feasible, and a sur- vey and estimate of its cost was prepared and submitted. This plan is to commence at ' the head of navigation in our harbor and dredge along the wharves to the southern extremity of the railroad docks, thence cut a new channel across the flats in a straight line to the channel, opposite the residence of William Jennings, thence across the salt meadows in a direct line to the mouth of Pine Island creek, from which point to the wharves Of South Norwalk the water is as deep as at said wharves. The advantages Of this plan are as follows: first, we shall be able to bring as much water to our wharves as at South Norwalk, say twelve feet, at high water; second, the channel, being straight, will not fill up, but deepen with our spring freshets; third, the material thrown out will make a towpath, so that vessels can be cheap- ly. towed either way when the wind is unfa- vorable; fourth, the depth of water in the new channel will be such that we shall be able to have a line of propellers running to our docks, by the aid of which our harbor .will be kept open most of the winter, and our manufacturers, merchants, and citizens gen- erally, will not be compelled to_.submit to the extortionate freight charges made by the New York and New Haven Railroad in the winter months. The cost of the proposed new channel to the head of navigation is estimatedat thirty thousand dollars, certainly a small cost when the immense advantages that our place will derive from its completion are calculated. The saving by having the proposed depth of water to the people Of this borough and the manufacturing establishments in our town that receive their coal at our docks, on that article alone, is estimated to be at least five thousand dollars per annum; and the saving on lumber, timber and merchandise freights, will certainly be as much more, so that, as an investment, it will pay largely. The final question to be considered, is, how shall the money be raised to carry the pro- posed improvement into efi‘ect? By an act passed at the May session, 1863, of the Leg- islature of this State, authority was given to the borough “to improve, deepen and change” the channel from Ihe head of navigation to Opposite the residence Of Wm. Jennings, and “to assess the cost on the wharves and other property so situate in the borough, and the vessels so owned and used in said town, as would be benefitted thereby.” Should not an application be made to the next Legisla- ture to extend the provision of the act quoted above so as to embrace the whole distance to Pine Island creek, and also to assess the manufacturing establishments in the town that receive their coal, lumber and other freight at our wharves. If this is carried in- to effect, the assessment will be, in the judg- ment of the writer, one that will be cheer- fully paid; and the benefits derived, and the advance in real estate in our borough, will be such as will convince every one that itought to have been done long ago. ~.-.>.

EDITORs.—Tho past week has been char- acterized with the usual number of “ Interviews with the President," and ‘ Irumored changes of the Cabinet,” ac, to the latter there is no foundation. When the budget of‘ news items is exhausted, the general resort for something exciting is a "change of Cabinet Officers." Gov. Cox, of Ohio, had an interview with President Johnson, and a letter to the Chairman of the Union State Central Commit- tee of that State, giving an acéou'ut of the same, was published on Monday. The Governor was evi- dently pleased with the result of the interview, and very naturally he should be, as it was his first inter- view, but, as a prominent Senator who has had sev- eral interviews, told him, “it has got to be an old story.” The President has made so many declara- tions of his future acts, and when the time has ar- rived has acted so entirely different. that those who know him best pay little heed to them. In the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, delivered a sort of conciliatory speech, counseling deliberation and coolness, which advice was alto- gather needless, as both Houses of Congress had decided in a joint caucus that their future course should be free from any feeling of antagonism or contention, and that no allusion should be made to the attack of. the President on certain members of each House. The Senator failed to explain exactly what position he himself did take, and it is consid- ered a very strange coincidence that his speech should be made on the same day that the letter of Gov. Cox was published. On Tuesday, Mr. Dixon, of Conn., made a fruit- less efi'ort to vindicate the President’s policy, ally- ing himself on this occasion with Saulsbury of Del., and Cowan of Penn., (who has recently been re- quested to resign by the Senate of his State, as he does not represent the feelings of his constituents). Mr- Dixon made a Very' able speech, and had he cho- sen a day on which Messrs. Trumbull and Fessen- den were absent, he wonld have been more success- ful in convincing his hearers that he was on the right side of the question ; as it was, the frequent interrogatories of these gentlemen completely dis- jointed his argument, and brought to his rescue his Democratic friends. On Wednesday, Senator Nye. of Nevada, made . what is very generally considered, one of the best speeches delivered in the Senate during the present session. It was in part 9., Philosophy Of the late re- . bellion,‘_and the manner in which he handled the subject,"gave evidence of his perfect knowledge of' it. He advocated astrict adherence to principles, the admission of the representatives from the Southern States, as soon as they are ina condition to be admitted ,- but as “ they had gone out rebel end foremost, he thought it equally as proper that' they should come back Union cud foremost,” and give some security fOr their future good conduct. He was followed by his colleague, Mr. Stewart, who spoke in opposition to the concurrent resolution that was before the Senate. ' . On Thursday. Mr. Johnson, of Md., who is com sidered the “largest gun” on the Democratic side of the House, treated the Senate to another feast of quotations from his inexhaustable supply of Con- stitutional disquisitions, for which he is so re- markable. He favors the immediate admission of the southern delegates, regardless of theIr past acts. and, as a matter of course. endorses the President‘s policy. It was decided that a vote should be taken on Friday on the following resolution, as recently passed by the House : Resolved by the House of Representatioqs (the Senate concurring.) That in order to close, agitation upon a uestion which seems likel to disturb the actiono the Government, as wel as to quiet the uncertainty which is agitating the people of the eleven States which have been declared to be in in- surrection, no Senator or Representative shall be admitted into either branch of Congress from any of the said States until Congress shall have declared such State entitled to representation. On Friday, Mr. Cowan, of Penn., spoke in Oppo- sition to the resolution, and proceeded to show a remarkable state of loyalty of the Southern States, which he and such as he alone can see ; and stated that two-thirds of the Southern people were Union at the outbreak of the war. He doubtless thinks by this time that there, was a little disloyalty in his 'owu State. Senator Davis, of Ky., followed . Senator Johnson, and as usual, his possession of the floor acted as a strong emetic upon the 'galleries, and the Senators took their hats and availed them. selves of the opportunity to attend to outside busi. ness. At ti o’clock the vote was taken, and was passed by the following vote, Ayes 29, Nays 18, Messrs. Dixon, Morgan 86 Co., voting with the Democrats. This being a concurrent resolution, it does not require the President’s signature. The Sen- ate then adjourned until Monday. ' Resolutions from several Of the State Legislatures have been received during the past week by' Sena- tors and Members of Congress, endor'sing their vote in favor of the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. The leading Journali of the country received here, are unanimous in condemning the Veto and Speech of the President on the 22d of February, and it is now very evident that the effort-to create a division in the Republican party will hardly pay the leaders of the movement for their trouble. . The country must and will sustain the representatives they have sent to Congress, and who have not betrayed them. Con. gress alone, has power to admit members to their bodies, and they very properly refuse to receive any dictations from any person in regard to the subject. As soon as they are satisfied that the Southern States are in a tit-condition to be admitted to a voice in Congress, so soon will they be admitted to that body, and not one moment before. In that house are some twenty members of the late Union Army, many of whom bear honorable scars from wounds received in battle, and these men of all others would be the last to favor the admission of men against whom they have been arrayed in- dc- fence of their Government.

The exercises by the children were interest- ing, and the parts were performed Well. At the conclusion, just as the Superintendent, Mr. J. L. Ambler, was cal‘ing up the “ Clo- sing Addresa," Rev. Mr. Gates, the Pastor of the Church, stepped upon the platform and presented him with an elegant Silver Cake Basket and Salver, in behalf Of the School, as a token of their appreciation and esteem. The Pastor was then, in mm, presented by Rev. Mr. Ballard, in behalf of his Church, and congregation, with a purse containing about $200, a beautiful copy of Johnson’s Atlas, and “ Holland's Life Of Lincoln.” A collection was - taken for replenishing the Library, whichamounted to $30, which‘ ad ded to an equal amount given by a friend of the School, secures them $60 for the pur- pose. After these exercises were concluded, the school and a large portion of these pres. ent, repaired to the Lecture Room, where sandwiches, cake, tea, coffee and} confection- ery were distributed among the children and adults with lavish generosity. About 11 o'clock the company separated, all ‘ feeling that they had enjoyed the Anniversary and had a good time. ‘ . .<.>.

UNION STATE COMMITTEE. To the Electors of Connecticut : FELLOW CITIZEst—Itis again the fortune of Conmcticut to be called toun annual elec- tion at a period of great political excitement, when the result will be anxiously awaited in ovary sister State and by every citizen of the Republic. While, on the 3d Of April, 1865, we were triumphant] electingour noble chief'ma is- Irate, Gov. uckingham, for the eighth t e, the indomitable and heroic soldiers of the Republic WeIe marching into the capitol city of the great rebellion, and the exultant patri- otism o! the nation with one accord broke forth in uncontrolled shouts of rejoicing. In the presence of the great fact that the old flag was finally, surely triumphant, the Re- publican candidates received an unprecedent- ed and overwhelming majority. The nobler impulses, that, for the time broke all restraints of party, demonstrated undeniably that in the hearts of the people ours is the true party of the Union. Again we appeal to them to maintain the ideas of Liberty, Unity, and Pro I'ess. either our principles nor our duties have changed, tin ugh the armed legions of treason have laid down their weapons, and near a million citizen soldiers of the Union have re- turned to the arts and labors of peace. . Sur- render, Pacification and Restoration brought tasks more trying to our fidelity than the straightforward charge Of the battle-field. It was not with malice, uncharitableness and unchrisiian hatred 'that our soldiers want to war, nor that we continue our struggle at the ballot-box. We long for the day when, froth sea to sea, we shall be a truly free, uni- ted. harmonious people—every man in the full enjoyment of his inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; when the humblest laborer shall have but to stretch forth his. hand to secure the protec- tion Of a great State and an unconquerable nation for his claims to his wages, his home, his family, his school, his church, and his civil and political rights: the day when fidel- ity to the flag and the Union will be every where safety and honor. The Republic had proved in its youth that it could withstand the assaults of monarchy; in its manhood it demonstrates that it can endure an infinitely severer test. 'We stand over the ruins ofa gigantic rebellion, the most formidable enemy that republican institutions ever encountered. We stand by the graves of three hundred thousand of our noblest men, who counted their lives well spent when offered freely for liberty and Union. durely at last we may say, “ Liberty and Union, one and inseparable, now and forever !" In the presence of their speechless but elo- quent dust; in the presence of the doubting and sueering foreign enemies of free govern- ment; in the presence of the oppressed mill- ions who, from beneath crushing despotisms, watched our flag with tears, hopes and pray- ers; before the rapidly coming millions of a future, before a God of justice—in the name of all that makes faithfulness to Him and honor among men, we stand pledged to se- cure and maintain forever the principles for which our brothers died. The two parties, with their record for the past five years, their candidates and their declarations of principles, stand before you. To which will you commit the honor and the interests of our State? Our oppt n :nts were five years ago the al- lies and firm friends of the entire band of conspirators. Not a perjured traitor that plotted [reason for thirty years but called himself a Democrat at the last, misusing and abusing that noble word. Every Senator and Representative in Congress that led in the scheme; the President and Cabinet that denounced coercion, let treason have its way, and well nigh wrecked the ship of State—all were Democrats. That party denounced all wa'would-use force to maintain the Union; it declared coercion unconstitutional, and in its State convention of 1861 enthusiastically applauded the threat to use force against the departure of our citizen soldiers. Through its recognized speakers and presses, it vehe- mently affirmed the right of secession and ridiculed the promise Of President Lincoln to retake the captured forts. It denounced all calls for troops whether by volunteering or draft, and went to the verge of open in- surrection in obstructing them. To that par- ty thejust and holy war was a “butchery of our fellow citizens." It cried down- our na- tional credit, and magnified the burdens we were cheerfully assuming. . It maiignantly Opposed permitting soldiers in the field to vote, and basely slandered their votes for the Union as given under fear and compulsion. In its national convention it pronounced the waralailure and called fora peace which could only have been obtained at the price of dishonor and a dissevered Un- ion. It was fierce in' its jealous guardianship of slavery, and when the struggling nation, sorely pressed by traitors whose strength was in human bondage, proclaimed freedom to the slave, and “upon this step, warranted by the constitution and demanded by military necessity, invoked the considerate judgment of mankind and the blessing of Almighty God,” the Democratic allies of treason saw not the great 'gain to humanity,'but Only an additional outrage upon the rights of rebels! And when by the unquestionably just meth- od of constitutional amendment it was sought to destroy slavery cOmpletcly, these unrea- soning enemies Of all progress ,only gained fresh fury, and assailed the amendment as a wanton trampling upon the rights of the States and an “ eternal barrier to Union ! ” In the columns of Democratic journals on- ly have the murderous jailors of Anderson- ville and Salisbury, or the foul assassins Of Abraham Lincoln, found palliations and apologies. Wherever in all our villages or citiesa soldier was wantonly insulted, or a White flag hung out, or the stars and stripes secretly torn. down, or a rebel victory exulted over, there is not a school-boy so ignorant as to think that any but a Democrat could have done it. ‘ In the very closing scenes of this most he- roic war, waged by the spontaneous united efforts of the people themselves for the good of our common humanity, this party holds its convention anp has not one poor word of thanks to Almighty God, or of ratitude to our noble armies and Davies! ot a kind word could it spare for a living soldig‘; not a word for the mourning but proud fathers and mothers and wives and sisters, whose beloved dead lie scattered upon a thousand hillsides. , By the fortunes of war and the will Of the nation most solemnly expressed, the system Of slavery, so long a sin, a reproach. and a stumbling block, has been altogether de- stroyed. Not a word have they of even mild congratulation, for did they not but last year regard the grand amendment as an outrage and an “ eternal barrier to Union?” Never has that party given a word of sympathy to the persecuted but indomitable loyalists of the South. Never a pledge of faith to the sacred national debt. Never has it asked for a thread of security against future secession or rebellion. Not a rebel would it ever pun- ish in lands, chattels or person 1 Their whole declaration of principles is but a desperate clutch at» office and the speedy and indiscrim- mate return to full power and honor of all rebels whatever! . _ Such, lellow citizens. are the men who in- sult every soldier's grave by claiming to be the true friends of the Union l ’ ‘ How thin and utterly contemptible the weak disguise of their kind words for An- drew Johnson—the Andrew Johnson who “ braved secession in theSenate and defied armed treason in Tennessee; who sprang from the people,” and in their name makes war upon all monopolies-and aristocracies; .Who demands that traitors be punished and the people be taught that treason is a crime; Who has but just declared that in his owu Tennessee hewould advocate giving the bal- lot tO the black man; who reco nized not one rebel State government or 0 cc; who Warned rebel States that they must abolish sIIIVery forevergrepudiate secession, repudi- ate rebel debts, and give full, unreserved pro tection to the freedman; and who has but just declared that his Whole heart and soul are with the Union men who carried through this war! ‘ ~ ~ - ' Why the cheap trick on their part ofseek- in to gain votes by the nomination of a can- didate who in Congress voted for the Consti- tutional amendment While they all with one voice, in- convention assembled, cried out that he was a “moral coward i’.’ . Their record we have briefly laid before you; history need not be consulted for its verification—the memory of every citizen testifies that we have scarcely told the half their shame. - . Whatever wise or patriotic principle or measure we have referred to as scorned and obstructed by them, that the Union Republi- can Party has cherished, defended and ad- vanced with full energy toward its final tri- umph. We do not-forget the noble array of Democrats who leaped over the bounds of party and rallied with us all for the honor of Our flag—their words are less merciful than ours in describing the recreancy of northern secessionists. ‘ of the Union and the supremacy of its flag and its laws over every foot of our country. It conducted the war with no low spirit Of revenge. And it asks now of those who lost the battle nothing Of'indcmnily for the past, for that is hopeless ; its measures look only to the honor of the dead and the security of the future. Its purposes are as earnest as when in the darkest days of the war, quick, clear and strong it responded to the vast de- mandsofits lenders in the council and the field. The jusu terms of settlement have been a thousand times indicated, and we do not permit ourselves to doubt for a moment that the noble body of men whom our votes have aided to place in charge of the national government will be calm, deliberate, just and unshaken. To trifle away or leave insecure the results of the war, would be a crime equal to thei mous treason that brought it upon us. 0 lODOl‘ as a pe‘fle is solemnly staked before God and the world upon full protection and equal and exact justice to all men, and more especially to those who need it most, the poor, the ignorant and the oppressed, of whatever color, race or relig- ion. Failing in this, no glory is left us. To all patriots who would maintain liber- ty and justice among men ; who would de- feat the insidious assaults of the allies of se- cession upon our national debt; who would re-afiirm the justice, necessity and glory of the war; who would honor the defenders of 'Olll‘ liberties and secure to them alljust dues and‘pensions; who would honor and protect the long steadfast union men of the South ; who would urge the contraction of our our- rency and a return to lower prices ; who would vigilantly equalize taxation and guard against superfluous expenses ; and who would labor to carry our native state onward in liberal and truly Democratic ideas, we say, rise up and work! The candidates who are presented for your sufi‘rages are eminently entitled to your'sup- controversies which have agitated the coun- try, they have especially been foremost among those who have sustained the Gov- ernment during the fiery trials Of the war. The name of GEN. HAWLEY needs no intro- duction. Entering the ranks of the volun- teer force at the-very opening of the conflict, he stood the brunt of battle till the last rebel had laid dowu his arms. Rising, step by step in military gradation, his commissions were won by faithful service, and laid down as soon as his country no longer needed him in the field. His life demonstrates his patri- otism, his experience ensures his pfactical wisdom, and his ability and integrity render it certain that the honor and interests of Con- necticut will be safe under his administra- tion.‘ And his name will confer additional luster upon the honored list of Chief Magis~ trates ofour beloved Commonwaalth, Voters of Connecticut! On the one hand you have a candidate for the ofllce of Gov~ ernor who has always given his labors and influence to sustain his party, whose disgrace- ful record we have exposed—he adopts their platform and promises to be their faithful representative. But we offer you a candidate who nobly represents the principles Of the Union party as they have been gallantly maintained by our armies in the field and our patriotic citi- zens at home. Imagine the exultation Of,all unrepentant rebels if we should be guilty of the stupen- dous folly of surrendering the control of the State to the enemies Of the war and its ob- jects! . We urge harmony, energy, systematic asso- ciated and individual labor, and a renewal of the fires of patriotism. With these we proph- esy a certain and glorious victory, maintain- ing the honor of the state and gladdening the hearts of all patriots throughout the land. March lst, 1866. ' ‘ H. H.
