"It appears by te official canvass, liat there were 80,325 votes polled at the late Presidential election, in Connecticut, an increase an the aggregate which surprises everybody, andjthe inq iiry is frequent ly made, where did all these votes come from 1 There are many who believe that there is really no such actual Dumber ! of legal voters iu the State.

The section alists gave 42.315 votes, or 5.106 more than all others, or 9.000 more tha l that party, or the fac tions that make it up, ever before polled. These, to some extent, haw been secured from men who thought the Brooks outrpge was enough to tuin their suffrages ; from those who have been led to believe that intolerable outrages have been com mitted in Kansas, with tl e sanction of President Pierce; and by many wl o have listened to rain i ters of the gospel, whe have become much en listed in politics on accoi nt of the slavery ques tion and have persuade d themselves that the Democrats were In favor i f extending slavery, and have, in terms as direct as they tared to use, so informed their parishiont n, almost weekly. But a four years adraiuistraCon of James Buchanan will scatter these delusions and false ideas, as the firbt term of Thomas Jef "erson scattered the idle stories that bibles were to be burned by the De mocrats, and churches d slroyed. In addition to the strength gained upon these unstable issues and false representations, the Fremont vote was probably swelled by fraudulent certificate votes, and illegal votes tiKn Qamcs npon the registry, if fraud was not practiced in counting. The great increase of votes fur thai party cannot well be ac counted for in any athcij way. "The aggregate population of Connecticut lias not very largely increased during the past four years; and it is well settled that only one vote can be polledlh six of population, in a commu nity like that of New England. It is rare that a greater proportionate vote than this is polled. Now, allowing one votejfor every six of imputa tion in the late contest jand we have an aggregate of 481,950; this, under the last apportionment, wonld have given Connc client Jive Representatives i Congress with a larj;e fraction over. Tho in creased vote of the las: 'election, (13 645 ) over the largest" vote ever !ef..re given in the State, would, if it was an honest increase, require an in crease in the popnlalun of seventy-one thousand two hundred and seventy a much larger number tLau lias beta the actual increase, probably."

It veiy highly illustrates the political morality and moral honesty of the Fremqnt parly : On the Friday or Saturday 'preceding the Pres idential election, I, Patrick Baity, a workmanal Colt's Pistol Factory, went to the Halls ofRecerd in. pearl street, where the Board of Selectmen were iu session for the purpose of making free men, and en applying, in my turn, was asked by Allyn S. Stilluiau, first Selectman, "whether I could read?" I answered in the affirmative. Slillman produced a volume of the Siatutea of Connecticut, and pointing to a passage, told me to read it. I did so, reading correctly, but mis pronouncing one Word, btillman shut the book, saying tome, - You must goto school another year, and then yon can vote."- I was not admit ted. Oo Monday I procured a private note from a Freniouter, who works in the sante establish ment, addressed to Siillcnan, and stating that I would, if admitted, "vote for Fremont.' -This note I look to Slillman, who was at his office. Stillman said on reading it, "Is that so?" aud told me that 'if I would come to him to-morrow election day, when the Board'waa in session, at the City Hall, he would do all he could for me." "I asked him if lie wonld know me?" "Oh Yes," said Stillraan, "I shall remember yon." On Tuesday I applied to Stillman for admission as afieeman. Stillman said, "Can yon read?" I said I could, and taking l he book, read in a low tone a few words, when Stillman interrupting me, said aloud' ' He can read;" and I was admitted.

DESIGNS OF WALKER. We bave not inserted much matter relative to the movements of WaLea, for tbe reports bare been most unreliable. A summary notice in the Buffalo Advertiser, relative to a quarrel which lately took place between War kxr and Goicoubia bis brigadier, gives . ns developments of public importance, and we, therefore, present them to onr readers : "Tbe precise policy which bas guided tbe move ments of Gen. Walker bas theretofore been matter of eonjectnre. Writers for public journals, recol lecting the example of Texas, which applied for annexation as soon as it bad been wrested from Mexico by adventurers from the United States, have supposed that Walker would naterally fol low this precedent. It has been constantly charg ed that be was secretly acting in the interest of the Southern Slates, with a view of extending the area of the slaveholding portion of the Con federacy. It has been supposed that Southern men looked with favor on bis enterprise, because they expected that, in case of bis success, Nicara gua would be a base of operations for anattack on Cuba. JThe supposition that Walker looked forward to ultimate annexation to tbe United States derived little support from any exhibition be bad made of bis character. It cannot be doubted that he possesses pluck, ability, and determination ; as little can it be doubted that the motive which impels him is restless and inordinate ambition. If he should succeed in gaining a firm foothold in Nicaragua, lie doubtless expects, in the unset tled condition of that part of the continent, to subdue the whole of Central America and Mexico. Would a selfish man like Walker, who feeds bis imagination wilb such such day-dreams as these, be likely to cherish the design of laying down absolute power, and exchanging the position of chief of a great country fot the chances of pro motion in what would tbe be one of the forty members of tbe Federal Government? Tbe quarrel which has just broken out between Walker and Gen. Goxouria, one of his chief and most trusted agents, lifts tbe veil which bas hither to concealed his designs. It wonld seem that, al though be bas it in contemplation to make a des cent on Cuba, or at least purchased the support of Goicouria by holding out this prospect, nothing can be farther from the intentions of the arch-fiili-buster than annexation lo the United States. The following is a copy of tbe contract which was eu tered into oo the lltb of January last between Walker and Goicouria : Gen. William Walker, Commander-in-chief of the army of Nicaragua, is willing to form the lol iowing agreeaient with Capt. F. A. Laiue, a point ed agent of Sr. Domingo de Goicouria. 8'ile holder and depositary of tbe goods and chattels belonging to the cause ot Cuba, consisting in money, a vessel, and munitions ot war : Firstly. Gen. William Walker pledges bis word of honor that be will assist and co-upera.e with his person aud wilh his various resources, such as men and others, in the cause of Cuba and iu favor of her liberty, after having consolidated the peace , and the Government of the Republic of Nicaragua. Secondly. Gen. William Walker proposes and admits the understanding that the material and pecuniary resources of Nicaragua, as well as those which are in tbe possession of the revolu tionary part of Cuba, shall be amalgamated toge ther; making common cause together for the pur-, pose of overthrowing the Spanish tyranny in tbe island and of insuring the prosperity of Central America, identifying thereby the interests of both countries. Thirdly. Gen.Walker requires a full exposition, manifestation, and explanation of the resources belonging to the cause of Cuba, as likewise a de tailed statement and list of tbe military and mar ine forces, as well as tbe remaining resources of the Spanish Government in the island of Cuba. Fourthly. Capt. F. A. Laine, having taken into consideration the contents of the three foregoing ai tides, agiees to accept the contents of the said three articles only as a preamble of a contract to be made upon a more solid basis by the parties interested; and therefore binds himself by his woril of honor to keep this agreement until he shall have fuller powers for its ttual arrangement. And having drawn out two papers of the same tenor iu corroboration of this, we affix our signa tures in the independent State and Republic of Nicaragua this day, January 11, 1856. Wm. Waives, F. A. Laine. On the strength of this, Goxouria went himself to Nicaragua in March last, and devoted all his energies to forwarding the plans of Walker. A "bout midsummer be came to New Orleans for the purpose of raising funds fbr Walker's assistance, and, failing of success there, he came North to New York. In August he received from Walker credentials as Minister to England, accompanied by the following letter : Granada, August 12, 1856. Mr Dear General : I send your credentials for Great Britain by Gen. Cazeneau. They are ample, and will be, I hope, not without result. If you can open negotations with England and sec ure for Nicaragua tbe port of San Juan del Norte you will eflect a great object. It will be a long step towards our end. Without San Juan del Norte we lack, what will be in the end indispensa ble to ns, a naval force in the Caribbean sea. Tbe commercial consequence of this possession are nothing in comparison wilh the naval and politi cal resulta. With your versatility' and (if I may use the term) adaptability I expect much to be done in England. You can do more than any American could possibly accomplish, because you can make the British Cabinet see that we are not engaged in any scheme for annexation. You cao make them'sce that the only way to cut the expanding and expansive democracy of. the North is by a power-ful and compact Southern federation, based on military principles. Th sooner you get to England the better it will be for us. If possible the treaty should be made before the middle of November. By that time the rainy searon will be over and we can open the next campaign. We roust have all our relations with Central America fixed before the last of April, and nothing will so much facilitate us as the settlement of tbe Mosquito question. Above all,, this work is heccssary for the work we have m band after onr Central American affairs are settled. It a needless for me to impress you with the importance of this mission, for you no doubt feel it as deeply as I do. I hope to bear from yon every mail.. Can you not make write me a letter t Tell be mast send me the news, and let me know whether " Cuba must and shall be free," tut not for the Yankees. Oh, no! that fine onntsy is not fit for those barbarous Yankees. What would sueb a psalm-singing set do iu tbe island 7 .- Remember me to your family, and beliere me yours sincerely, WM. WALKER. Gen. D. de Goicoubia. . General Goicouria goes on to say : "This Tetter put new face on matters alto gether. It revealed te roe for tbe fist time Mr. Watkei'a hostility to the Democratic principles of America, and his design to establish a Southern despotism as a counterbalance to the U. States. It entered into no part of. my plans to forward anr anch scheme as this-, and I very plainly per- that Ur Walkar pave me credit for an adaptability which I do not possess. It was evident that the annexation of Cuba to the Uni ted States was very far from Mr. Walker's ideas. It cannot be considered wonderful that I paased and did not instantly start for England. " Tbe next step taken by Walker was to revive slavery in Nicaragua, and that I beard of in Oc tober., This went still further to dissatisfy me. It is quite unnecessary for me to deny the cbarse of any pseudo-philanthropy in regard to the black; but the revival of slavery at this particular crisis of MrWalker's affairs seems to my .mind pre posterously stupid." - , , f lb reference to an expedition of one thousand meniu tbe celebrated steamer El Dorado, intend ed, as was alleged, for Nicaragua, to oppose Walker, and. alluded to ia .previous part of tbe correspondence, General Goicouria adds : ." io and tbe idea that I (a t raisins a thousand Am er as ia Nicaragua, it argaea ence with tbe gallant pea-' ijat I cannot quite , accept, V .
