The IVnincrafs of Connecticut held
their State Convention week before last,
and nominated a full ticket, with the gal
lunt Thou. II. Seymore at its head for Gov
rrnor. Tho election takes pluce in April.
The following sound tuiienal resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
RevJved, 1st. That the United States
are a Confed racy o!' States, unequal in
sovereignty and political power; indepen
dent in their several organizations, and
reserving ti ench all rights not grunted by
the constitution to the central govern
ntetit.
2d. That while as citizens of Connecti
cut we assert our devotion to the consti
tution and the Union, and will hereafter,
as we have heretofore, (support trith zmil
and energy tho authorities of the United
Stutes in the (till conttilutiocial exercise
of the'r powers, we deliborololy avow that
the liberties of the people, aje menaced hy
congressional and Federal usurpation,
and run only be presprvud hy the encrget
io action of Slate autl:i ity ; and we are
determined to maintain and defend the
dionor of our State and the rights of her
people.
3d. That we denounce the heresy of
secession as undefended and unwarranted
by the Constitution, we as confidently asi
srr! that whatever may heretofore havo
I been the opinion of otir countrymen, the
i time linn now arrived when ail liueloveis

justly jealous of thci liberties, "ho

filh. That the militia bill recently in,
Iroduced into the Senate of I he United

States, by bis emancipation proclamation, , iltt?e of w V8 ond Meftns t0 nie tax bill
has slmck a aerioua blow at tho rights of
tho States ; erected an almost impassable
barrier between tho North and tho South,
in attacking the pooplo of fifteen Slates
through a domestic institution which is
blended with their social fabric, and over
which '.lie individual Slates possess exclu
sive control and power; and regardless of
the great lessons of the past, the Na'ion
al Executive, in pandering to the insane
fanaticism of the Abolition fsetion, has
vontured upon a system of public policy
which, if successfully inaugurated, would
disgrace our country in the eyei of tho
civilized wo Id. and carry lust," rapine and
murder into every house of tho slave
holding States.
IlenvcJ. That the act of the Federal
administration is suspending the writ of
habeas corpus, the arrest of citizens, not
subject to military law without warrantor

the common ruins of t' c liberties of tho
people and the sovereignty of the Slates, a
consolidated military de-potism.
And we hereby solemnly dvclaro that
no American citizen can, without the
crime of inlideliiy to his country's consti
tution, and the allegiance which he bears

vas a bravo man ; he had the courage to

tempt to do. He knew the peat Ity if he
lulled in his enterprise. He carried his

now disown the uct ; they call him a mo
nomaniac, an insane man 1 but when the
telegraphic sires, with lightning speed
