under which we now suffer, in the opinion of this convention, are the following :-

 l. The experiments commenced by the 0dminie- tratiOn of Andrew Jackson, by which better cur rency' was to be introduced.

 g. The creation of almost five hundred state banks between tho years 1880 and 1887, mostly by Loco

 g. The spirit of speculation, which was thus ssimu- lated to sxcess and involved vast numbers in hopo- less bankruptcy, and by it's reaction caused

 4. The failure of many state banks, nearly Dine- tenths of which were chartered by Loco FOco egis- atures.

 S. The general war upon all banks which was then commenced.

 G. The reduction of the currency to the specie stan. dard, which has caused

 T. The depression of property of every description, m many instances to one half its former value, and reduced wages ia the same proportion.

 Res0tuOd. That protective tariff directly interests every class of our citiZens-the farmer by furnishing him home market and good prices; the mechanic, sy protecting the products of his ingenuity aganst raising hum above a degraded competition with the oppressed and i'll rewarded labor of the old world and the whole community, by the impulse which it may reasonably be expected to give every kind of bnsi- ness, and the general prosperity which it will difase throughout the nation.

 ResolUed, That the exertions of the Whip members ot Congress in procuring the passage of the tariff, merit and receive our warmest approbation, while we see m the persevering opposition of the Lo- co toco members to protection in any shape, a new proot of their opposition to the true interests of Con-

 Ieesolred, That currency of sound and uniform value is indispensable the prosperity of the nation and like the te.blood in the human system, needed to give vitality and force to every other measure of

 Resolusd, That the theory of metallic currency which IS now advocated by the leaders of the Loco Foco party, Is runous to the debtor class of the com munty and opposed to the interests of our industrious population and especially to the hopes and expsca- ,ions of the young men of the state.

 itssoDed, That the time has arrived when the great battle against the radical and destructive measures of Loco Focosm is to be renewed, and that the slec tons ot the next two years are to decide the great question of protective tariff against visionary free trade of sound currency against the ruinous nan. cal schemes o Loco Focoism. and of the interests of the country generally, against that policy which has brought us, after years of suffering, the verge of ruin.

 Resolped, That we refer, with an honest pride. 10 the pages of the statute book and to the general con. dition of the state, while under the direction of a WhIg government, as an evidence of the the sound ness of Wing principles, and of the ability ard pat otlsm ot the public agents elected by the Whig party.

 Resotred, That the extraordinary career of our op. ponents curing the brief period that has elapsed since they have been in power in Connecticut, has more than ever convinced that their principles are utter. y destructive to all the best interests of the state and that they deserve what we believe they will receive in April next, a total overthrow by an abused and indignant people.

 ResolUed, That we condemn the majority in the last Legislature, not only for the vndctive spirit of many of their laws, but also for the indecent manner in which those laws were driven through the two houses ot the General Assembly.

 ResoIOed. That we condemn the act of the last le- glsaure which provid that the shers of the seve- ra counties may be elected by plurality of votes, as II violates tho saiutary principle that a candidate should receive majority of the of the people, and opens the door of success, as was doubtless in. tended, to the candidate of a minority.

 ResotUed. That the report of the committee on banks Tn the last legislature exhibited spirit of ma. gnity unsurpassed by any of the session. and tha. We consider 1t true indication of the feelings which that party manifested throughou. the session towards al these institutions, irrespective of their merits or demers-and that we consider the refusal of the ma jority to accept this report IS an expression of their fears, rather than their opinions.

 ResoLred, That we view with astonisnment as we'll as indignation, the act Of the las. legislature which offence than mat of obtaining an educaton," and that we are the more amazed that such should have been passed by majority which under pre,ence of vndlcatng the right of suffrage, have given aid and continuance to the anarchists of Rhode Island

 Resolccd, That besides the gross injustice of the dlsfranchlslng law, we condemn it, as calculated to fire emen into classes and thereby to destroy the .le mocrac principle Of equality upon which our republ. can system is founded.

 Resolred, That the Registry Law was intended and to the electors, and was generally appro- we'd by all honest men, and that in repeating this law the Loco Foco leaders gave another proof of their dis regard of the purity ot the ballot box:

 

 of candidates for the Presidency and Vice. Presidency by Whig National Convention, to be holden al such time and place as shall be selected by the Whg members Of Congress.

 Resolved. That having full confidence in the justice of our cause. the integrity of our candidates, and the zeal and determination of friends, we believe the state is destined to be trumpbantly redeemed from the domination of reckless and irresponsible party, on the first Monday in April next - and to this end we call upon every man who bears the name and wears the heart of Whg to be ready for the contest

PettngelI of Bridgeport, Gapin of New Haven, Porter of Prospect. Shaddick of Mid. detown, Rice of New Haven, Hollister of Woodbury, Brockway of Lyme, and others -when the question was taken upon each one separately, and they were passed.

 At this stage of the proceedings tabout ten ocloc the committee appointed to inform Mr. BALDWIN of their chairman that they had attended to their dues and that he had talthough with extreme reuctancej agreed to accept the nomination. This announce. ment was received by the Convention with deaening appreciation.
