OUR NEXT PAPER will not be printed un-

able to chronicle a glorious victory.

Victory 1 Victory 1 1 Victory 1:!
We would not elate our friends by undue
confidence, but candor compels tts tO state
our firm conviction that Connecticut is this
moment redeemed from democratic domina-
tion, and that his accidency, James E. En-
glisb, is a defeated maul All the informa-
tion we have received and all the signs of
the times unmistakakablyevince this fact and
it only needs equal energy in getting our
vote on Monday, to render the Republican
triumph in Connecticut more signal than that
of New Hampshire. Our (opponents beast
and blow about the Irish voters they have
made, but there is a remarkable lack of old
time confidence apparent in their boastings.
They feel whipl, and manifest it on every oc-
casion. We have reason to know that they
are “calculating without their host," in re.
gard to very many of their Irish voters.
There are some Of these men who have got
whiskey out of their stomachs, and brains
in their heads, who will not vote under the
crack of oopperhead whips, but will vote for
the candidates and principles of universal
freedom, law and order. Then hundreds Of
the fraudulent votes they have so nicely pro-
vided for and arranged, in Bridgeport and
New Haven, will be spotted, or if attempted
to be illegally passed to the ballot boxes the
law will be invoked on the spot and at the
moment for the condign punishment Of the
guilty. Work, work, work, and victory
most glorious will be ours.’

A Gun that Kicked its Owner
Over.
Conscious guilt never more ludicrously over-
leaped itself, than did the frenzied efforts of
the N orwaik Copperheads to keep poor Pat~
rick away from the Republican meeting at
Look wood’s Hall, last Thursday night. Rich-
ard McCloud, an intelligent and patriotic
young Fenian Irishman, exercising his rights
of American citizenship, was announced to
speak with Mr. Foster Of New Hampshire.
Mr. McCloud chanced also to be the Head
Centre of one Of the Fenian Branches for
this State, a fact that accompanied the an-
nouncement Of his advent here, although he
came in his personal, and not in his Fenian
capacity. But fearing that their fcllowers
should bear the truth, the leaders at once is-
sued flaming posters warningtheir followers
to give no heed to the coming orator—in ef-
fect to keep away from hrs meeting. The re-
sult, as might have been expected, was to fill
the hall with the more intelligent of our
Irish voters, who we are confident heard
more truths than they ever listened to in all
the democratic meetings they ever attended.
The smartness of thus advertising our meet-
ing was only equaled by the good dame who
thus announced, “now, boys, I’ve some nice
cake in that cupboard, and if you go there
I'll whip you, every one,” and whereupon
the poor woman lost her cake as the democ-
racy will many of their votes.
We print the following extract from his
speech :—
“In ciosrng, I will say, let no Irishman,
who understands what liberty is, ever' for-
get that the republican party struck the
chains from the limbs of four millions ‘of
slaves, against the protest, in the field and in
the forum, Of England and the democratic
party. This alone should array every man
who has escaped from European slavery on
its side. Let my countrymen remember that
democratic ascendancy means free trade, and
that free trade means English ascendancy.—
Let them remember that England was the
ally of the South, and ii democracy regains
the ascendcncy again, farewell to liberty in
Ireland, as far as sympathy or assistancefrom
America is concerned. Remember, my coun-
trymen, that the republican platform is uni-
versal'libcrty and protection to home indus-
try. Universal liberty cannot bo limited by
any geographical lines, nor to any race;
and borne protection means destruction of
British commerce, and destruction of Britsh
commerce means the decay of England, and
the decay of England means the rise of Ire-
land. So my countrymen, cling no longer
to the skirts of this enemy of yours—the
democratic party—alienate yourself from it.
this very night, and depend upon it you will
look back to this night with pleasure, and
from your action a new day will dawn upon
the Irish races in America, and a glorious
future to our persecuted and down-trodden
Ireland."

.WIt is amusing to witness the panic and
fiounderings of the Danbury Zimea over the
nomination of OREIN BENEDICT for Senator
of the 11th District. The “popularity" of
Mr. Benedict, which the Times is forced to
admit, is the chief cause of democratic grief.
If he were only unpopular, the Times would
not so bemoan itself. How cruel it is of
you, Mr. Benedict, to be the friend of the la-
boring poor man! If it were only your style
to be polite and Obscquious to every poor
Irishman you meet, just a few days prior to
election, as is the wont of the copperhead
leaders, and then hire negroes to do your
work (as the chiefs of democracy do here in
N orwalk), and not know them again until
another election, why then the limes would
not blubber so piteously over the detest of
its Blinderburg or Blydcnby. Please Mr.
Tims tell us of his claims to democratic sup-
port.

Democratic Meetings.
Our democratic friends announced
" the most eloquent man in the country," to
address the citizens of Norwalk last week, in
the person of Dan. W. Vorhees. Well, pen.
.haps he ig, It has been our fortune to listen
to Daniel’s oratorical efforts many times du-
ring his long tern: in Congress, and i'. is due
to him and to truth to say that we never
knew him to come so far short of his high
reputation as a speaker, as on the present oc-
casion. His voice Was impaired, his man-
ner not as earnest and animated as is his
wont. In short, it was evident that poor
Dan's success in New Hampshire had not
enlivened his spirits or his happiness, and it
was really distressing to one familiar with
his style, to witness his discouraging success
in rowing up stream. He adopted anew
role of the “heavy pious," on this occasion,
and while more scripture and gospel was re-
hearsed than half his audience had probably
listened to~ since childhood, yet his own
want of familiarity with. this new phase Of
modern democracy only the more impeded
and embarrassed his rhetorical flights. He
had the negropbobia, as usual {had it had,
yet failed to excite any apparent alarm at the
supposed negro in the copperhead fence, just
at this time. Concluding, the Rev. Senator
Doolittle arose. It is always a pleasure for
us to listen to the Senator. His euuuciatlons
are loud, round, melodious and distinct, and
yet with all his conceded graces, as an era-
tor, we thought we could detect a sort of
prognosticating melancholy pervading even
his most glowing sentences. He affirmed
that "in the west there were as many demo-
cratic widows, as there are Republicans. “A
statement a little mixed, yet as the Senator
is known asThe“widow’s friend,” we shall
not dispute his assertion. We were forcibly
reminded of another speech the Senator
made wherein he was affecting his audience
to tears over the assault made by Bully
Brooks upon Sumner. Said the roseate
Senator, waxing to the climax of his speech :
“ I occupied the same room at Washington
to which had been carried the bleeding form
of Mr. Sumner—I slept upon the same bed
upon which they laid him—and was walled
upon by the same chamber-maid who attended
upon Mr. Sumner. "
But Mr. Doolittle had not recovered from
hfvisit to New Hampshire, and so struggled
through his piece. Dan. had wickedly done
all the “pious" part and run the poor negro
into a perspiration. In fact one could smell
him (1‘) all over the Hall. We noticed that
even our old friend, Wm. D. Bishop, had to
leave the platform and retire! But it Dan.
had the negrOorash, poor parsou Doolittle had
it ragiugly. He stirred our sympathies, and
only for the following letter, kindly loaned
us by the editor of the Janesvllle Gazelle, to
whom it was addressed, we too should have-
beeu comfortless. In this letter, published
Oct. 9th, 1862, Mr. Doolittle says :—
“The negro is entitled to his rights as a
man just as much as a white. man, he has as
much right to himself, his mic and children,
and the bread he earns to feed them, as I
have to urine. That is one idea, but not the
only one which concerns his well being.
There is another, and that is, that he is enti-
tied to a home where he can enjoy his rights.
His natural home is in the hot climates of
the tropical zones, as much as the white
man’s natural home is in the temperate zones
of the earth. \
If we could have had peace, I would have
found homes for all who voluntarily desired
to migrate outside our territory. But as we
have had war, and the rebels will insist upon
war,underthc proclamation of the President,
1 WOULD MAKE A NEGRO TERRI-
TORY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES,
beginning with South Carolina, where this
hell-born conspiracy has been hatching its
infernal brood of traitors for more than
thirty years.
In the very speech you refer too, made
early in the last session, I said the same
thing, ‘that if the war continues, we shall
see upon some future map of the United
States, where South Carolina now is, the ne-
gro territory Of the United States.’ I may
embrace MUCH MORE aficr the fourth of
January next.
My colleague, Judge Howe, knows that at
the first conversation we ever had with the
President upon these questions, early in the
extra session of last year, I told the Presi-
dent that if the war continued two years
t'tat would be the result."
It will beiseen that Mr. Doolittlc’s proposi-
tion for a negro territory was much more
radical than any ever made except, perhaps,
by Wendell Phillips.

M So complete is the scare Of our demo-
cratic friends everywhere, that they have
abandoned their time honored custom of
nominating out and out democrats as candi-
dates for Chloe, and are runningjafter every
renegade republican they can find. In this
district they first nominated Edward Quin-
tard for Senator, but he wasn't fool enough to
be set up to be knocked down—declined the
martyrdom. They then nominated Charles
Benedict, at New Canaan, another Tylerite,
whose interests are difi‘erent from Quintard's,
and who awaits the worst skinning a candi-
date ever had in this district. Again in the
Danbury district they have nominated the
Secretary of our Republican Convention,
“who heads the pregnant hinges of the knee"
tire—to be beaten out of his boots by ORRIN
BENEDICT. If in this District they had nom-
inated Luce Monroe or B. D. Purdy, there
would have been some chance of getting out
a party vote.

The New York and New Haven Road has
devoted all its surplus transportation to the
copper head managers who have been trans
porting Irishmen to Bridgeport and New
Haven to crowd through their naturalization
papers so as to vote the free trade ticket on
Monday next. At our democratic meeting
last week, the chief figure-head upon the
platform was the President of this same
democratic railroad corporation. We pre-
sume the very first thing organized before
our coming Republican Legislature, will be
a lobly to demand that no new railroad fran-
chieses shall be granted the people of Con-
necticut, who’seek escape from this political
monopoly.

tion last week, Mr. Charles Benedict, of New
Canaan, received the nomination, in place of
Mr. Quintard, declined with thanks. We
presume that Mr. Benedict is grateful for the
second-hand compliment, and will accept the
nomination. He will find, however, that

people have a Street that is much better.

Who lilay Vote.
In all country towns in the State. electors
can be registered on Wednesday, April lat,
excepting those whose qualifications mature
temen that date and April 6th, who can be
made voters on election morning,if they have
been previously registered as "intended ap-
ph‘cants.”
Any person who has ever been made elec-
tor in this State, is entitled to be registered
upon producing a certificate from the town
.where he 'was made, and showing that he
has resided in the town where he offers to
vote, four months preceding the day of elec-
lion.
To be made an elector requires one year‘s
residence in the State, and six months resi-
dence in the town. The applicant must be a
citizen of good inorai character, and be able
to read any article of the constitution or of
the statutes of this State.
A law was passed last session, which pro~
vides that names omitted from the list by
“mistake, inadvertence, fraud, or clerical er-
ror," might be put on by the Board on elec-
tion day. But voters cannot be admitted on
election day, adher by certificate or upon oath,
and names can only be put on the list where
they have been omitted therefrom, as above.
WWO invite special attention to the ad-
vertisement of the “ People’s Mutual Tea

The co-opera'ive plan is something entirely
new, aqd if well carried out will prove of
much benefit to consumers, enabling them to

Savings Banks.
Perhaps there never has been a more fa-
vorable Opportunity for determining the
benefits of our Savings Institutions to all
classes than the past winter. The cold sea~
son—setting in early and scarcely yet closed
-has been one that has tested the principles
of improvidence and prodigallty as opposed
to prudence and economy. Scarcity of
work and general stagnation of business
caused many to be almost entirely depend.
cut on their savings deposited with these
banks. Those who during last spring and
summer laid away their surplus received the
benefit during the winter in having asure
source on which to draw for their mainten-
ance. As business Opens with the opening
of spring, the prudent man will foresee that
now is the time to sow the seed Of frugality,
that in the winter the narvest of plenty may
be reaped. '
Among these institutions that rank first in
hoint of‘capitai, security and liberality stands
the Third Avenue Savings Bank Of New
YOrk City, to whose advertisement in anoth-
er column we cheerfully refer.
The Prospect.
DEAR GAZE'i‘Tlit—Htlvlng madca flying
. trip into the eastern portion of the Slate last
week, I send you a few gleanings by the way.
I stoppedlfirst. at South Norwalk, where I
found our friends more passive than at any
other place. They have now partially
wakened.
Upon reaching New Haven, I found our
mutugi friend, Hon. 0. II. Platt, Chiarman
of’ the Republican State Committee, terribly
in earnest. At a glance I saw he meant bus-
iness; if his labors are duly seconded, the
end is sure. He was constantly receiving
dispatches at'which he glanced, then handed
them over to his efficient assistants, and he
was ready for the next visitor.
I passed on to Hartford. Our friends there
are at work. W. W. Eaton has the high
honor of holding city court, making demo-
cratic voters with telegraphic speed, to try
to re-elect English, while every impediment
is thrown in the way of our republican yoling
men. -
The Hon. Tecumseh Bnbcock held forth
in the evening to the unterrified; the build-
ing was something over half filled by the
unwashed, yet there was but little enthusi-
asm, and I imbibed the idea that they enter-
tertained but little affection for the traitor,
but were willing to avail themselves of any
benefits he might render them in the service
of the great impeached.
Left Hartford and at Vernon heard from
Rockville, four miles distant. The people
are wideawake, having meetings, with bands
of music, and torch light processions, and
what is better, will gain ever 100 in that vil-
lage. Set down Tolland County for a hand-
some gain.
Stopped at Willimantic. Saw a young
man posting and distributing handbills for a
meeting. Although an entire stranger, sal-
lied out of the hotel and grasped his hand,
and bid him God speed in the service. He
assured me they would give Grant and Jew-
ell a handsome gain.
Next journeyed to Putnam. At Plain-
field Junction met the gallant Gov. Harri-
man, of New Hampshire, enroulc for Put-
nar’n. He had spoken the previous night at
Stamford, to the largest and most enthusias-
tic audience of the campaign. Lleut. Gov.
Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, was ex-
pected to speak with him, but he failed, and
the Governor was compelled to occupy the
entire evening, which he did with great suc-
cess,his speach being pronounced the best yet
delivered there. I had the pleasure of listen-
ing to hint at Putnam; the large ball was
literally crammed. He spoke nearly two
hours, and was repeatedly compelled tO stop
while the hall resounded with cheers.
Commencing my return the next day, I
found him on the train for Danielsonville,
where he was speak to that night. Look out
for a handsome gain in Windham Counly.‘
On reaching Norwichvl found our friends
alive and at work. You may cxpccta hand-
some gain iii the eighth Senatorial District.
which is always ours.
New London was my next point. I was
joined there by a friend who assured me we
should carry the town, and gain two represen-
tatives, and that the Hon. Alfred Coit would
carry the Seventh District, which we lost
last‘vear by seven niajmity. Here gallant
Gov. Burnside, of Rhoda Island, came on
board the train for New Haven where he
spoke on Wednesday night with Gen. Wil-
liams, M. 0., of lndiaua, Major Haggerty.
Hon. Samuel A. Foot,ot‘ Ohio, and Hon. N.
D. Sperry, to the largest meeting ever held
in New Haven. Hundreds were compelled
to go away being unable to enter the hall.—
Verily the City of Elms is wide awake.
The same night Bridgeport was alive with
excitement. Several hundred persons were
waiting an hour at the door before it opened.
Gens. Sickles and Pleasunton, and Governor
Blair, addressed the vast assembly until a
late hour. The Grand Army of the Repub-
lic. after the meeting was over, gave it sere-
nade to Gen. Sickles at the Sterling House.
Now, Mr. Editor, it is for us to say, shall
victory be with us? Press forward the col-
umns. Move immediately upon the enemy‘s
works. Poll every vote ; we shall then. be
able to inscribe upon .our banners, GRANT
and JEWELL.
- Yours ever,

BY HIS EXCELLENCY,
JAMES E. ENGLISH,
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT
A PROCLAMATION.
In view of the duty which rests upon every
Christian community to set apart some stated
season for the serious and devout contempla-
tion of their relations, as a people,to the Crea-
tor and Governor Of the Universe, whose
moral subjects we are, and in accordance
with s- venerated custom, I have deemed it
proper to recommend, and do hereby recom-
mend that FRIDAY, TiItr. 10m DAY or
APRIL NEXT, be observrd throughout the
State as a day of Public Fasting and Prayer.
And to the end that it may be duly observed
as such, I invite the clergy and people of all
religious denominations in the State, to as-
semble on that day in their respective places
Of Divine worship, and there. with a deep
and humiliating sense of their unworthiness
as Christians, implore the Divine Mercy lor
the forgiveness of their sins; for a deeper and
more willing prostration of their hearts and
minds before God, and for that regeneration
of the spirit which comes through the sanc-
tifying blood of Christ. In the true spirit of
Christian kindness and charity, and with love
towards God and our fellow-men, let us, one
and all,.on that day, devoutly and fervently
petition our HeaVenly Father that He will
abroad throughout our land, the light and
warmth of that Divine precept, which enjoins
us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to
do unto Others as we Would that they should
do unto us. With such a petition as this up-
on our lips, and with proper humiliation and
ooutrition for sin in our hearts, we may con-
fidently expect that He who “is slow to an-
ger and plenteous in mercy," will hear and
answer the voice of our supplication.
Given under my hand and the Seal
Of the State, at. New Haven, this
twenty-third day of March, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eight

—On Friday night week, an attempt was
made to burn the city of Newburyport, Mass.
Boxes lined with zinc, and filled with kero-
sene oil and dry pieces of wood soaked in
kerosene and put around the boxes, were
placed in three different churches, a stable,
and other buildings. Ono church was de-
stroyed, but the police disoOvered the trick
in season to save the other buildings. If the
parties who made the attempt had succeeded
in their plans, the city would undoubtedly
have been destroyed, as it was a very windy
night, and the buildings selected were cen-
trally located. The rascals have not yet been
caught.

From the Danbury Joya-contort.
To the Electors of the 11th Serr-
atorlal District.
The political parties in this district haye
resented to you two candidates. Orrin
enedict is the Unicn nominee, and Levr N.
Blydenburgh has been selected by the Dem-
ocracy. It is for you to choose between
these two men. One of them is certain to
be elected, and which ever he may be, he is
supposed to represent the sentiments of those
who elect him. When you are called upon
to vote for any man for any office, you nat-
urally inquire who is the candidate 1’ What
are his politics? .What claims has he for-the
office ? will he represent the sentiments of
those who elect him ? These are pertinent
inquiries, and, unless answered satisfactorily
you should think before giving trim your
vote. Mr. Benedict does not hesitate to tell
you that-he is now, and has been, since its
organization, a member of the Republican
party. He is “tried, true and faithful."—
Dttring the war he stood by his country,
and stands there now. Unlike his political
opponents. he is unwilling that the rebels
shall snatch the fruits Of victory from our
grasp, and confer political power and patron-
age upon the couutry’s deadly enemies. He
is a firm Union man a man, of the people,
who has risen from the ranks of the laboring
men to aflluence and prosperity. WORKING
MEN or ans manner, he is emphatically
your candidate. He represents your inter-
ests, and if elected, will protect them.
But who is his opponent ? The Democra-
cy present to you a gentleman by the name
of Blydenburgh. Who is he ? Do any of
you know him, or have you ever heard of
him ? He is undoubtedly a respectable man,
a very respectacle man. We have nothing
to say against his personal or private char-
acter. But when you go to the polls to vote
for a senator, you want to know something
about him, and whether he is a political
friend or foe. As our Democratic friends
have not seen fit to publish his qualifica-
tions to the people upon whom they call to
vote for him, we propose to inform you who.
he is POLITICALLY. ‘
Two years ago be filled th’e position of
Secretar of the Republican State Conven-
tion at artford, and was the Republican
candidate for Representative from Sherman
in 1866. Last year he was an active and
earnest Republican in his town, and has,
ever since his advent into political life, ad-
hered to that faith. Can any man tell what
are now his politics? Have you any assur-
ance that, if elected, he will not act with the
Republican party ? Are you willing to ac-
cept a man whom nobody knows, in prefer-
auce to a tried and faithful public servant ?
VOTERs on ans DIsTRICT ! When you
cast your ballots, vote for 01mm BENEDICT,
whom you all know, and on whom you may
rely, rather than for one whose political faith
is uncertain, and who, in accepting the Dem-
ocratic nomination, has proved treacherous
to his party, and may prove treacherous to
you.
If you are to elect a Republican you have
a choice, and in making that choice, you can-
not hesitate to vote for ORRIN BENE
DICT, the man of the people.

Would not some of the citizens of Nor-
walk, whom Messrs. Kellogg & Evcritt,
Gen’l. Agents of the Continental Life Insu-
rance Company, say "will be interested to
learn that the Directors have recently de-
clared a dividend to policy holders of fifty
per cent.," be more agreeably and profitably
interested to hear that said dividend is avail-
able and that they can obtain it by applying
to said agents, or at the home office of said
company? We offer the following compar-
ative statements for the consideration of the
public. This famous fifty per cent. dividend
Of the Continental is theirfirst dividend, cov-
ering a term of five years, and is considerably
less titan an annual dividend of ten per cent.
The Mutual Life Insurance 00., of New
York, whose agent for this place is Mr. A.
H. Camp, and whose examining surgeons
are Dr. James E. Barbour and Dr. W. A.
Lockwood, have in the same term of years
declared five annual cash dividends, amount-
ing in the aggregate to over One Hundred
and Twenty five p .-r cent. Tue Continental
claiming to be a Mutual Co., have three
hundred thousand dollars of chartered capi-
tal to eat up the profits of the institution,
whereas the Mutual Life has not one dollar.
It costs the former over twenty-three per cent
of their receipts to do business, tholatter less
than nine per cent.

mThe Springfield Republican a paper
from which the democracy often derive con
siderable consolatiin, having looked over
the battlefield says:
“Victory is in the air. That result is as
certain as the coming of the day. It belongs
to the great forward impulse under which the
nation, but a few months ago doubting and
halting, is now moving on to a certain and
glorious triumph. There will always be
such times of uncertainty and hesitation; but
theybring no discred it and no difficulty to the
final struggle. The people have now got
over feeling bad or looking back, and have
set themselves manfull and unitedly to their
work, and, just as the nion ranks are closing
up and advancing with a steadier step, so dis-
tru’st, irresolutiou and discord are beginning
to appear among our enemies. We are go-
ing to carry Connecticut because we are go-
ing to carry the:country. That is the reason,
the philosophy of it, we may be sure. We
are going to carry Connecticut because Grant
is to be our next president; and the forces
which assure his success put the election of
Marshall Jewell'beyond a doubt. It will not
be the republicans of Connecticut who win
the victory, but the republicans of the United
States through their friends in Connecticut.
The republicans Of’ Connecticut feel certain
of access; and they feel so because the con-
victions of the nation are settling more and
more in favor of the republican party. Every
day of the last two months has added to the
assurance that we are going to win. The
whole course of things sets toward the suc-
cess of our cause. This fact, this knowledge
gives them a strength not of their own, and
lifts the controversy above the character Of a
mechanical struggle between two parties.
The weight with which they move,and which
they strike, is not determined by their num-
bers solely. They are an overmatch for their
adversaries, because they feel that they are
figh'ing to win, and it will bear to be stated,
as a general principle, that men and parties
do not feel this way, in real fighting earnest
unless they are going to win. That’s what
does win.

presided over by Chief Justice Chase, who
made an admirable speech. The Academy
was crowded with a mos: apprecratrveaudt-

sang with inspiring effect; with their clear,
fresh voices, supported by a superb reed Or-
gan, which was so unusually fine that it do-
servcs especial notice. We have never heard
such a beautiful musical effect from so com-
paratively a small instrument. We learn
from the (programme that it was one of the
celebrate AMERICAN OROANs, manufactured
by S. D. & H. W. Smith of Boston, and can
appreciate the high praise which every one
accords them, as they are among the very
finest in America. Smith’s Organs haven
purity and volume of tone really astonishing
for their size. One of our first musicians
said to us, “the American Organs of Messrs.
Smith are the ruost perfect and beautiful I
have ever seen." We agree with him, and
having examined the instruments carefully,
must give them thireserved raise. _
