CONNECTICUT INAUGURATION OF GOVERNOR ENGLISH.

The Legislature organized at New Haven, on the 6th. The Message of Gov. English was sent the same day. He devotes much attention to national politics, especially the condition of the Southern States and the Impeachment of the President. He says:

"If Congress is supreme, a revolution has been accomplished, and we no longer live under the Government we have sworn to support. This is the ordeal through which the country is passing. It is not the part of wisdom to hide its difficulties or its dangers. They demand the solemn consideration of every American citizen, for with them at last the decision will rest. If this matchless Constitution of ours, based upon the right of the people to govern themselves in their own way, through their State organizations, and secured from abuse of centralized power by the separate and independent action of its great co-ordinate departments, is to be abandoned, it can only be because the people for whom it was provided, and upon whom its benefits have been showered, so desire."
