 Whigs of Connecticut! with the old bat ] tie to fight over again, with anti-prOtection, the sub-treasury and an exclusive metallic currency-the same .ruinous measures, sup. ported by the same men. who called out all your forces, and made you inyincible in oth- | CT days, can you doubt the result of future elections! Those who imagine that Loco imagine that its measures have changed Not 90. It is now what it always was, ruin. ous and destructive to the best interests of the nation, and as such we oppose it. Let it once more come forth with it's true colors na fled to the mast, as in 194O. Let its mottos be-"A sub-treasury''-"A specie curren- cy"-and " Free Trade" and Connecticut will again expell it from her borders. Our industrious and intelligent population have too much at stake, and too we'll understand the bearings Of these favorite measures of the Loco-Foco party, to permit them to be entailed upon the country.

 WHO ARE THE TRUE REPUBLICANS?

 The Whig party has been stigmatized by it's opponents as illiberal in sentiment, ty-

 

 friendly to the great cause of human liberty Those who bring this charge against a party, which upon the most moderate cal culation, numbers in its ranks one half the voters of this country, probably do not consider how serious is their accusation, and how little credit it reflects upon the na- ton. Let us see whether it is founded in truth.

 The present Whig party had it's origin in the opposition which arose throughout the whole country to the policy of General Jackson. It was composed in part of Demo- crats of the old school, who could not brook the regal authority of the old hero. and who did not believe that Democracy consisted in blind adherence to favorite leader.- With these were united FedeFalists, who had enough of Republicanism in their hearts to prevent their supporting the monarchism, with which Gen. Jackson swayed his scep- Ire over the nation during the eight years of his reign. At that time the Whig party was emphatically the republican party of the country. It opposed executive usurpa- ton, while the selfstyled Democracy advo- cated and sustained it. Until the election of Gen. Harrison the same was true of the two parties, and it is difficult to see what has since occurred to entitle the Loco Focos to the name of Republicans.

 Since the success of the Whigs in 194O, they have been unable to carry their mea- sures into full operation. By a most unto- ward course of fevents-by death which they could not avert, and by treachery which they could not foresee-they have been deprived of the power which of right be- longed to them. Thus situated, it has been impossible for them to try the effect of the measures by which they hoped to restore the country to it's former prosperity. Yer they have done enough already, to show that they are, at all events, the party of the people. The Loco-Focos may boast of their democracy, but the citizens of this country cannot be deceived by name. Which of the two parties is most popular in it's ten- dencies-most favorable to the improve ment, the prosperity, and the power of the sohols 5esr!e7 While one is narrow, limited, and short-sighted, the other looks forward to vast fields of progress and improvement. The one would bind us down to the cold and barren present, the other would make government, not check and restraint-an iron fetter only, but genial -i,da -i,a r:-en:a. institution. which should protect and che rish, as well as curb and repress While the Loco- -Focos would discourage the use of those facilities, by which poverty rises to wealth, the Wings would sustain system which holds out golden prospects to the as- piring and energetic youth, though his era dle may have been rocked in the humblest hovel in the land. They would assist en- terprise, and if they must err, would err on the side of action. They would encourage American industry, and Knowing that po- verty and wealth must change places at least once in every generation, they see the folly of exciting enmity between capital and labor. If the situation of our country forbids the use of an exclusive metallic currency, they would resort to the use of well regulated credit. knowing that thus our ardent, active, enthusiastic young men may make industry, intelligence, and honesty, supply the place of gold, and stand on equal footing with those who inherit wealth. While they would protect those who may be in the possession of property from un- lawful aggressions, they would not sustain system which should make the rich richer, and bind the poor man down to hopeless poverty, nor would they consent that gold be considered all in all, and character and credit nothing. They would sustain law and order. and correct abuses without revolution and bloodshed-they would in- terfere with no mans private rights, nor suffer the acquisitions of industry to be held at the mercy of the idle and the vicious.

 Such are some of the principles which every Whig holds sacred. By their aid, in the better days of our republic, many young man of honest heart, clear head, and strong arm. has wrought his way to wealth and honor. If now the future is dark, and the young man, who is just entering life, sees no bright prospects before him, let him remember the true reason. A sound curren- cy-protection of our native industry-and unbroken credit, public and private, would be- no obstacles 10 SucCeSS. and if he findS
