THE LATJB NORTHERN ELECTIONS. The lute eleotiou in Connecticut though it lias remitted iowe tiioinph x>f the Republican party, affords some grounds of consolation to the Democrats, in the reduction which tins been madu in former Republican majorities. Duck ingham, tlie Republican Governor, has been | elected over Skymoi.b, the Democratic oandi date, ana a Republican legislature has also been returned, which secures the election of a Ra publican United States Senator, for the long term, commencing from the 4th of March next; yet out of a vote of 86,000 tbo triumphant majority is only about 600, and the result might have been otherwise if the Democrats ha<l propprly canvassed one of the rural counties, which in this election gave a Republican majority of 1,116, whereao, last j-car it gave only CI6 majority, and might, by proper exertions, have been reduced to 100 majority?just sufficient to have carried the election against Republicanism. The Democrats have gained 1300 votes upon the Republicans since the last election, and.if the gain be anything in the same ni-nnnrl!nn .1- i> 11 usiui'tmni election next Fall, il will be sufficient to win the State. The election in Rhode Inland has resulted in a Democratic triumph, Col. Wm. Srn.iuuK, the j candidate of tlie Union party having been elec- ' ted after one of the most exciting contests Known in the State. There was but one isnuc 1 and two parties in the field, and the discomfit ! ure of the Republicans, was affected by a union of the "Foreign," "American," and Democrat* ( ic vote. I Such are tlic results bo far of the vital con- ' test, which will find its culmination in the Presidential election of the fall, and which "is . to determine the fate of liluck Republicanism < in the Union. With respect to the final result ! different m in J.s from the same duta will draw , very different conclusions. Tlio Charleston t Mercury thus iutet prets the auguries of the fti- < tnre from the recent indications in Counceti- J cut: [ The late Connecticut election for Governor 1; and members of the Legislature involving tlif election of n Senator for the next six yenrp, was on all sides deemed the mo?t important election held since the last Presidential election. I?. esteemed one of those events wliieli cost their shadows before them. The uniform and increns- 11 ing strength of the Iilnck Republican party, n i<iiice the Inst Presidential election, was a fact ^ of fatal significancy to the future destinies of the country. Those who, like cx-l'resident Fillmore, believed that the Southern States 1 would not endure the elevation of a sectional t President of the United Slates over thorn, u deem<-d it absolutley necessary that some diversion should be made in the North to neutral- 11 ize the probability of such a result; whilst the ? Democratic party, in view of its late defeat# in p Pennsy lvania and oilier Northern States seemed to consider their very <xistence in the Northern f States, to be dependent on this election. Hcncc money was raised freely in New York and ^ ather Northern cities; and speakers from other Stales were brought upon the hustings, to in- t Huence by their oratory I lie portentous result. ? Nor did the Black Republican purly appear to p be indifferent to the importance of this elec- n lion, although far inferior in its significancy n lo them. They entered heartily into the elec- li lion, and followed in crowds their itnported v jrators. The result is, that the Black llepubli- ? :un ascendancy is maintained in Connecticut, fi Their Democratic candidate, Governor Sky- o hour, the most popular man in Connecticut, is b beaten ; and the Legislature, by n largo ma- e jority, is Black Republican, a Black Republican tl Senator to Congress n The times were certainly opportune for the |i Democratic party. Business had been clogged, it n aonscnuenei* to; t>.i !J ? l ?......>?-i>iuiiit:unisiu?r- Jp ible extent of Southern custom from the pro- \\ tactions of Connecticut industry.

All was in vain.

The important intelligence. which w?'puhlish to-day is decisive'tn regard to the fate of Vera Cruz, and the Juarez government-in Mexico, as well as to the propriety of the courso pursued by. Comniodoro Turner in enpturing tho Miramon Steamers at Ar.ton Liznrdo. It will be seen by the official despatched, which we publish in another column, that our pniiant naval omccrs were perfeetly justifiable in tlio course they pursued towards the two corsair Steamers. Thesivhaving passed the cr*atie and tlie shipping without showing any ting or sign of nationality. Commodore Turner sent the Saratoga, in tow of tho two small Steamers Wave and Indianola, to examine iutn their character. Instead of showing their Hug, or waiting to be hailed, they endeavored to escape, and on being int imated by a shot across their bows, to stop, they did not obey it, hut fired on ihe two steamers that were font after them. The conflict was sliarn. hit*. M?a .miinr.t their duty well, and the result is already known.

But what will produce a still stronger impression in ihe interior of Mexico md among the partisans of the Church, is the :onviction of the fact that the vindictive arid usulting course which they have pursued with inpunity towards American citizcns, and the flicial representatives of this country, at a disance from the seaboard, bus not been witnoss:d without feeling by the President, and that f they should eueccedin becoming masters of ilexijo, tlieyj will have to render nn account o the United States for the outrages they iave heaped upon us.?Ilcrald.

The Washington Correspondent of the Charlesion Mtrcury, writes as follows, in relation, * to the Bill which has first passed the Senate t providing for the sale of arms to the States: S At. this time it is too well koowu that the 1 Southern States arc near out of arms. Not hav- ' ing given much attention to the subject, it has ^ been neglected, and in case of any difficulty between the two sections, the supply of arms c would not equal the deina'id to any extent; and what is also true, those which are ou hand are old-fashioned, and, in this age of improved t arms, almost useless. By the the terms of Mr. o Davis'bill, the Secretary of War is authorized v to issue to the States arms, if desired, to the ex- i tent of the full capacity of the armories to t manufacture, bv paviutr to the Government ?lie n actual cost ill manufacturing thorn?said i\rnw 8 to bo nf the most approved patterns?not any c of the old stuck muskets. ii The capacity to inauufacturo arms at the two j< arinorie', Harper's Terry and Springfield, reach C forty thousand stands per annum, but of late tl years only eighteen thousand have been made, e Until tho States arc supplied, and fully armed, m an annual distribution of twenty-two thousand ~ can be made j>ro rata to those applying. This offers the opportunity to tho Southern States to prepare lor any emergency?to make good the deficiency. To show in what light the ? merits of the bill were approved by the poli- f, tical caste ia the Senate, we give the ayes and p nays: Ykas?Messrs. Benjamin, Bigler Brngg, Chesnut, Clay, Cliiigman.

It is a strict party vote of those present, and argues clearly that the Black Republicans feel B' that the object of the bill was for tho benefit of _ the Soutli. 11 suggests nlso the destitution of I the South in the manufacture of arms in the b' event of war?to what straits slie would be reduced in case of war, on a sudden dissolution. Docs il not become the States to consider seriously the establishment of State armories, with all the necessary machinery for manufacturing all the appliances of war? Amoderate force only to be employed, except as the exigencies of ^the times' demanded greater activity. Powder _ mills are scarcely knowu south of the Free States. R * !? .'& Ji An Eloquent Appeal.?General Webb, oflhe CI New York Courier and Enquirer, has recently & act forth, in eloquent language indeed, the & claims of Senator Douglas to the Republican A pnrly's Presidential nomination, if it be deter- C mined, for expediency's pake, to go without P their strict party lines to find a candidate of B greatest "availability" to them. General Webb K in the same article, makesjt plain that the Re- D publican part)' can not ani? will not support & Mr. RfllpR nf Miaannri -L:-r ~ """ do they owe?according to General W.'sahow- ? ing from tlie record-the defeat of Fremont. ( His idea is thai Douglas will of course fail to receive the Charleston Convention's nomination ( find will gladly receive that of the Chicago Convention, in that contingency. The General further contends that the course of Douglus on tho I.cc-onipton question has immeasuraidy strengthened the Republican party's cause in the npproaching election ; and therefore, that Lo him the Republicans owe a debt of gratiludc, despite his recent attitude of hostility to thein such as they owe to no other public man jutside of their organization.
