only object and the only motive of their ac-

is about to consumnate his glory by re-
firing amidst the plaudits of his fellow CT
tizens, that he may justify by his example
those principles Which, he has always in
culcated. Happy is it for us that we have
an opportunity to select as a successor, one
who will follow in the same footsteps, who
will mature, and give stability and perma-

The Members of the Monroe CORRESPOND
ing Committee have determined that no al
iteration will be made in the Electoral Ticket
this day published. The interval between
this day and the day of election is too short
to allow such procedure. There can be
no doubt, that if the ticket is approved by
majority of the people of this state, those
whose names are on it. will actin conformi-
ty, and it is the duty of good citizen to &C
quiesce in their determination AZ soon as it
is pronounced. This acquiescence is conf
IDENTITY expected, because it is believed, that
every man, whose name is on the ticket, feels
decided preference for Mr.. Monroe, al
though, from a fear of promoting schism a.
mong the republicans, three gentlemen have
wished to withdraw, and others from the
same motive may possibly indulge the same
disposition.

therefore, select, from the contending can

If New-York votes for Clinton, he will
probably be their man. lfEirgnia votes for
