Henomination of the Entire State Ticket, recited by Governo English=President Johnson's Potlcy dorsed and the Radical Congress eae New Havey, Jan, 20, 1868, No better proof could be had that the democraticfparty of the State of Counecticut are determined to show @ bold front to the enemy than the unanimity which characterized the proceedings of the’ State Demooratic Convention, held at Music Hail, in this city, to-day, ‘Tne desire to bo up and doing was maitifestly so strong that not even the severity of the weativr was suilicient to prevent delegatos, even from the romotest paris of the State, putting in an appearance, Almost as soon ag the doors of the hall wore thrown open the delegates began to pour in and select their seats, so that by the time the hour named tn the call (ten o'clock) had arrived, every available seat was oc- cupied fm the body of the churchlike ball, The gaile- ries, at either side, were sot apart for spoctators, of whom there was also a'goodly attendance, About past ten the Convention was called to order by the man of the State Central Cooggittes, Mr. Gallagher, and a tempo. organization effected by the selection of Mr. James Olmsted as chairman, aud Messrs, & A. Woodward, of Norwalk, and Philip W. Hudson, of Manchester, as secretaries, Tho call of the Convention was thon read and ap- proved, and on motion the membors of the State Con- tral Committee were admitted as delegates, Comuit- toes on Credentials, on a Permanent Organization and on Resolutions were then appomted and allowed time to report, ponding which {t was ordered that one delegate from each of the twenty-one Senatoriat districts be ap- Pointed to form the Stato Cential Committee for the nsuing year, with power to select — their own chairman oither from thoir own members or otherwise. tomporary lull in the procesdings ‘was at longth relid¥ed by the announcement that the Committee on Permanent Organizatton were prepared to report, The name of James F, Babcock, Collector of the Port, as chairman, was received with cheers. Mr. Babcock wus e@-corted to the platform and introduced to tho audience by Mr, Olinsted, who took occasion to remark, in allusion to the the newly appointed chairman, that he was “a gentleman who loved his country better than he did his party." Mr, Banvock then delivered quite a stirring address. From the repeated bursts of applause with which it was received it ia safe to say every word was gospel to thove to whom it was addressed, The burden of his speech was chieily to the effect that he had remained with the radicals until such time as in his opiion—and, ~indsed, be might venturo to say in the opinion of every one present—they had kept the constitution before their eyes; but so soon 4s he perceived an indication that it was resolved to ig- nore it he dropped them like a hot potato, (Vheora and reno \ed lauguter.) © his friead and colleague, Mr. Omsted, he could not retrain from alluding to the glorious victories achieved by the domucracy in the States alroady named, aud expie-sing himself coufident of the stand New Hampsniro would take in tuo coming contest, He did not despair of finding a change for the better in the complexion of Massachusetts, (Loud and continued applause.) The speaker voxt alluded in bitter torms of the ruinous aud unconstitutional course pur- sued by Congtess in its attitude towards the South, In passing he remarked that the radicals of Connecticut. at their conventions held recently in the same place, had, like a drowning man Brasping ata «traw, picked'up Grant in hopes that tie Breal) captain's wat record Would carry them through ; pat oven that Would not save them from sinking Wto tho fathomloss depths of nothingness.

J. Mitchotl, of Bristol, a white hairod, weather beaten, but staunch old democrat, moved thai James Ic, English receive the nomination ‘for Governor by acclamavon, which was accordingly carried withoul a dissenung ice, At this stage of tho proceedings a gentleman rose at tho rear part of tho platform and im a sepuichral tone of voice informed those that could hear tum that ho though the Judge had forgotten that the Commitioe oa Credentials had not yet reported, ‘The venerabie wearer of the ermine quickly retorted he “didn’t care for that,” (Boisterous approbation } As soon as the effect of this little commotion had sub- aided, and sitenco bad reigned supreme for a low minotes, an uneasiness manifested itself, and at length one delegate moved that the Convention procoed to tho balance of the ticket, ‘Iho motion was gly carried tuto effect in the twinkling of au eyo. The Chairman thon road the ticket a3 approved, and, ag he thought, the ticket would be elected. Tho simultaneous announcomont of the committoo boing ready to report, and tue appearance in the halt of Governor English, who had meanwhile been waited upon and informed of his no. nination by a commitieo of two, caused quite a little commotion, ‘The Governor, attor boing introduced, amid a perfect storm ot choors, camo forward and addressed tue Con vention at considerable long:h, in the course of which he reverted in feeling terme to the manner in which tho South bad beon treatod ince the close of tho war, and deciared that wo wero in eflect no rf & restoration now than at the close ot tho war.
