The Daily National Whig

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

Meantime, the distinctive Anti-Slavery party though relatively small, has been organized, and has maintained a foothold by dint of strenuous, persevering effort. It gained something in force and a wholesome loss in impracticable bigotry last year by merging itself in the Van Buren Free Soil party. This spring it has adventured a farther experiment, and, by a coalition, with the regular Loco-Focos it has quite probably chosen three Members of Congress, two of whom voted for Cass and one (Booth) for Van Buren last year, but all are now pledged to resist to the utmost the legalization of Slavery on a single acre of the New Territories.

Whether this coalition shall have been entirely successful or not, its popular effect is all the same. Connecticut henceforth stands in Congress side by side with Vermont and Massachusetts. No matter how hollow are the professions of Messrs. Cleveland and Waldo, they cannot recede without infamy and annihilation. They must go forward. So will their State.

We ask the attention of the Washington Union, Richmond Enquirer, and their confederates now engaged in dragooning Virginia into hostility to the New Administration by bugbear stories of Whig Abolition, to this state of facts. We dare them to let their readers know that the entire Abolition vote of Connecticut has been cast for the leading 'Democratic' candidates so called, and that three Members of Congress hostile to the new President have thus been chosen. We complain of nothing, lament nothing; we only desire that the truth should be made known. Dare you tell it, gentlemen?—N. Y. Tribune.
