The foregoing Ticket is recommended 10
the Electors for their support, by considera-
tons deeply interesting to all who have a due
regard to the honor and prosperity of the
State. For a considerable period, the people
have been instructed that it is necessary to the
safety of the Republican party, that nominal
tons should be made by Caucus composed
of members Of the Legislature, who, without
always knowing the wishes of their RepubIi
can brethren, have found it convenient to
adopt this mode of bringing candidates before
the public, to secure their own promotion or
that Of their riends:-Hence the cry has al
ways been, if any opposition is made to this
mode, that the union and harmony Of the par
ty will be disturbed; that their political enc
mics will take advantage Of the divisions thus
created, and the reign Of terror again be intro
duced. Such has been the uniform language
Of many ofthe supporters of Legislative eau
cusses, and it is still urged, to secure the votes
Of the independent electors Of the State of
Connecticut, for the nominations made at
New Haven in May last. 1t is manifest, how
ever, that all this pretended apprehension of
danger, has its origin in any thing rather than
sincere wish to perpetuate the truly Repub
lican principles which have gained an ascend
ed with the manner in which many of the Sc
lections of candidates is made, by the grand
SGnhedrin. annually at New Haven or Hart
ford, know well that the enquiry, "is he hon
est is. he capable is he faithful - is often
overlooked, while the principal object ofmost
of those who are in Office. appears to be-, to
adopt suitable measures to be retained, and of
those who are ont, to he substituted in their
room. Hence it is not unfrequent that every
species Of political bargaining is resortcd to:
combinations are formed to crafty the ambi-
tien oft the most humble aspirant for the most
humble Office, as well as the more aspiring de-
magOgues, for more important public stations.
The smallest and the greatest favors are
thankfully received" intrigues are nightly car
ried on during the session, and when all things
are suitably prepared, the nominations are
ushered forth to the light, in the imposing
form Of recommendations from the Republican
Members Of the assembly. Every person who
has been member of the Legislature for any
one Of several years past, knows this repre-
sentation to be true; that seifshnesS is the
main spring of most of these Legislative NOM

consideration which has no influence with
many of those who are actively engaged in
their support. Hence the old Democratic doc
trine of Districting is warmly opposed; tried
public servants are dismissed, either because
they are not sufficiently subservient to the
will of those who assume the conservation of
the Republic. or because other and more zeal
Gus patriots are DESTROYS Ofparticipating in the
honOrs and emOluments of Office. All who
do not yield ready support to the measures
of the Caucus, are denounced. and all who
venture to demonstrate against them, are
branded with the epithet of disorganizers.-
| The PEOPLE are, however, now awake to the
real designs of these " outpdrd professors" of
genuine Republicanism, and are disposed to be
controlled no longer by their official recon-
mendations. They arc determined to act for
themselves; to take the reins into their own
hands, and to elect for their rulers, men who
have the qualifications Of talents, integrity,
| and real attachment to the principles of de-
mocracy, who have been long known as the
