F II I D A Y M O It N I N 0, APRIL 17. mam CONNECT TCI1'!' ELECTION ! THE VICTORY IS CLOMOUS. 4,500 Whig r.lajcrity. From the Ihnfurd Cuurnul. Wc have the proud satisfaction of an nouncing to our renders that Connecticut stands firm her sons aru true to them selves and their country. Yesterday our annual election for state officers and mem bers of tlio Legislature took place, and tho returns brought us by our expresses, are of the most cheering character. The Whigs have swept the state by a large and increased majority, and carried both branches of tho Legislature. Our ma jority for Governor is not less than 45. Of tho 531 Senators, wo have carried 19, and more than two-thirds of tho House of Representatives. Consider ing the character of the foe wo had to contend with, what they had at stake, nnd tho means at their disposal, wo have achieved one of the greatest political tri umphs ever known. Tho importance of tho result was well understood by tho party in power at Washington, and they made a desperate effort to recover their ground here. Their presses teemed with abuse, and falsehoods the most barefaced and wicked and not only were those in this state, who were dependant upon them for office, active and untiring in their exertions, but office-holders from other States wore sent among us to lecture our frccmon on their political rights, and in struct them how to vote. This attempt nt interference with our opinions has met with a most signal rebuke. As an evi dence that the party considered all at stake they bad on their handbills, put out on election morning, tho imposing words "THE LAST EFFORT" thus ac knowledging, that if they were defeated, nil was lost. This is a confession which should be borne in mind according to their own admission, the Locos arc down, and do not expect to rise. The battle was fought on the part of tho Whigs, under tho broad banner of "HARRISON AND REFORM," and our brethren throughout the Union may rest assured that Connecticut will go for the Hero of Tippecanoe next fall by at least (3000 majority. LOCOFOCO PREDICTIONS. Since tho result in Connecticut was known, the locofocos, pretend that they never exnected to carry the state ! What they rcalhi expected, is not quite so cer.i tain : but wc know what they sctU.- Tho following will servo as a sample: From tho New Fr.i of March 20'h. Goon Nr.ws From Co.n.wctkut.

From the Hartford Time'. CiiEHniKn ! Cnr.nUNc ! From euy ,r,".ioa of the State, we have tho ino't cheering iuic'ligciiee. Our (riends. in the various towns c'l lull us the nimc story "unlf's wo nro ohoatel of our rights, wc shall show a LAHGF, GAIN to the Democrat ic Ticket." Yes, Democrat' of Connecticut, yotm victory wiix nc coMri.r.n:! We 1 now it from the Mgns of the time from confidential letters jeeeived from every ii.'irt cif tlio G'ate j we know it from the numerous changes which have come to our own personal knowledge, and from the alarm win h now pervades the federal leader' . It is 1 ut n few days since welicaid ono of our mo.-t j roiut rent nnd worthy citizens remark that "for the pat three years he had voted the Comervaiivo ticket : Init 1 cannot," said he, "be driven into the Federal ranks bv their 'proper iulhicnce' neither can I be bought, bodv nnd foul, by ihcm, as nmu of the 1 1 I ?..! .1 ... fV llU,ul,n,.,.l I icso'vcd. for one. to rally again wilh the old Democratic par'y, in support ofNiles and Van iiurcn."

Now ono of two things is certain : Thoy either expected to carry the cloc- lion, or else thoy are tho greatest scamps in existence. They aro welcome to either horn of tho dilemma. If thoy were really so ignorant of the signs of tho times as not to bo awaro that the people wore wheeling by platoons into tho ranks of Old Tip, then wo pity them : but if, with a full knowledge of tho real stale of tho case, they have resorted to this gross de ception 1'or mere ellect, pray how much reliance should be placed on their state ments in future 1 The truth is, Loeo focoism, has got a desperate game to play, and it will not hesitate as to the means. Their game is brag. There fore look out for lies and deception of nil kinds. And when you hear the adminis- tion presses talk large about reaction and gains in a particular stalo or section, then look out for an overwhelming WHIG TllIUMI'II- as a matter of course. HARRISON IN the" W EST. As an evidence of the state of feeling out West, it is stated in tho Philadelphia Standard, that a few months since a red-hout Southwark Lacofoco emigrated to Illinois, near Alton, and that a few days since n letter was received from him which excited as much astonishment among his Southwark friends as if Mr. Van JJuren himself had come out for Gen. Harrison. The following is an extract of the letter: "Ht.-zz.v rem Ou Tirrr.CASoi:1 Nay, you needn't gape in astonishment I'm in eurne-t.

A letter from another town in Illinois ay: "1 am happy, sir, to inform yon ihat v.'o have not one Vnnocrat in this-town, and .scarcely any in the. town-hip What few there be arc very low spirited. Whilst (in the ether tide, ml is life, spirit, and energy. In tho good cause, old gray headed men and women mens omhusia'stie. and a spirited as boys and girls." "l.OO CAMN AND HARD CHinn. " Under this appropriate head, the Phi ladelphia Herald has the following para graph. It is full of encouragement speaking with great confidence as to tho result in Pennsylvania ; and should incito tho friends of the cause in other and doubtful States to persevere. Let them do their duty to the cause and the country let them deserve it and victory may bo tbeirrcward, also. The Herald says : Consternation anddi'sniay sit on every LocoFoco f.ice, brooding over ruin m black despair. The whole 1'ie-idenlial contest is abandoned. The enemy strike their a-r I rfnrn n sun i fired. Pennsylvania is for Harrison by about 20,000 ma jority ' 1 lie entire we.-t ol the Mate rings with Ins name. i.iery lull, every valley, display Hie victorious banner of the "log eal in and hard eider." Never lcfoie has the popularity of n candidate grown so rapidly as that of Harri-on.

So wo said hist December, and so we say now. MARYLAND. Howard District Krixt !

EX THEME TNFAXCY. Tho Sentinel refuses to let its readers sec Gon. Harrison's explanation of his vote in tho Ohio Legislature, but reiler- ites the infamous charge of his ''votingto sell men for debt." Tho Sentinel knows full well, for wo have pointed vVinslow to chapter and verse, that tho section in question is a literal transcript of our own statute, and lias been the law of the. land in Vermont, for more than fifty years; yet the skulking wretch refuses to let his readers know even this fact, refuses to let the accused bo hoard conceals tho fact that any defonco is made whatovcr ; and now, somo four weeks after its original publication, lest his readers should forget the charge, again republishes tho original slander, with a full knowledge of its utter falsity. Gon. Harrison's letter (originally published in 2821,) U a short one, and would not occupy one half the space tho Sentinel has now twice devoted to tho vain attempt to fasten this infa inous charge upon a gallant old soldier. Why then does not Winslow allow his roaders to.seo this defence. For tlio simplo reason, that they would, with ono accord pronounce him an infamvas seoun- drcl for making tho charge. Ho dare not do it. For wo undertake to say, there is not that man living, who, with tho facts heforo litin, would listen to tho accusation ono moment. Winslow knows this; and henco ho dare not gainsay one word that is said in defence, nor even allude to the ' facts cited ; hut, with tho fell purpose of a highwayman, ho still clings to the origin- al falsehood, willi tho desperate hope that there is some honightcd corner which the ' explanation may never reach, and that. somo honest man, who roads the .Sentinel only, may he induced to believe a lie. Such is locofocoism, such aro its advo cates, and such its weapons. Does a good cattso need such appliances ? Would an honest man resort to such baso means? H 3 q q cj q q q q Tho Sentinel asserts that Gen. Harri son voted to sell lrco white citizens for civil debts. If this be so, it can be made to appear, and we should like to put our readers in possession of tho facts. Wo therefore propose, that if tho Sentinel will make out its case, and fortify it with all the facts and the arguments it relics upon, wc will republish tho article, on condition that the Sentinel shall also re publish our reply.

Wo copied tho other day an article lit trihiiting to Mr. Van Duron tho author- ship of a resolution against the last war This, wo aro satisfied, i3 incorrect. Tlio resolution was adopted at a ptihlic meeting in Columbia County, where Mr. Van Huron resided, but with which ho had nothing to do, whatever. The only 'ground for connecting Mr. Van Huron with tho resolution, is the fact, that he was at that limo acting in concert with the party who adopted it, in a vain effort to bring up Do Witt Clinton against Mr. Madison for tho Presidency a mcasuro based upon hostility to Mr. Madison's war policy. How far this circumstance should go to idontify him with tho federal party, tho reader can judge for himself. It is but justice, however, to mako the correc tion, and wo do it cheerfully, for all wo nsk i.i that simple just'ieo be done to the two individuals now before tho nation. Wo can afford to give Mr. Van Huron his best aspect, and whip him besides ; but were it otherwise, wc should scorn a tri umph obtained through the wholesale sys tem of slander and falsehood adopted by the administration in reference to General Harrison.

The outrage is burnt into our forehead, by heaping the o.lender with honors, titles and rewards : just as it was after the attack' by the Leopard on the Chesapeake, which led to the last war.

Wuat N't-.XT? Ar. Y. Sisnalt COL. DAVID CROCKET. From an extra ofthe Austin Gazette, ofa late date, we copy a letter written to tlio Editor by an American in Mexico, stating sumo stransro particulars concern ing thu famous Col. Crockett. Accerd ing to the statements; of the writer, thu Hero cf the Alamo did not peri.h at thu storming of that fortress, but still survives, and is now a captive hhoring in a Mex ican mine. The story i.s certainly too marvellous to be credited without tho strongst proof, At thesaine timo it must bo admitted there are circumstances tend ing to give an air of plausibility to tho nar ration. The correspondent of the Austin Gazette recites the events by which ho was led to the discovery of Col. Crockett, in a very natural artless way. They might have happened and not been deem ed extraordinary. Then he signs m name to the statement, and evinces a so licitude to coinmimicato the fact to tho family of the unfortunate captive, that would scarcely have been coimtcrfoiU'd by ono attempting to play a hoax upon tho public. This, at least, is quite cer tain, that the story must havo received credit at Austin, or it would not havo been published as a coarso jest or hoax. on tho very spot almost where tho heroic backwoodsman is supposed to havo fal len. 1.
