The Litchfield County post., 1828-04-03

Weswere among the irst io object to the regular ticket for Senators and we objected to upon the sole ground that it could not possibly be accidental that 90 many Jackson men were nominated upon 1t il looked too much like political intrigue, and we did not believe the freemen would sanction such ure Neither were we satisfied with the district tick ct entirely. In Hartford County we think Timothy Pitk,n ough, have been put the place of Nathan Johnson, and in New Haven County, Nathan Smith, one of the principal iramers of our present excellent Constitution, instead ofMr. Edwards. Now we know that these called fedel but that does not alter the The repubi Ican friends of the Admin
 lstvation have made most vigorous call upon teder- asts to hep them against their Jackson opponents
 and surely they ought at the same time to have ac- knowedged that the national question s much more important than the old hacknied and worn out state question, that nom nation might be made without digging up the rubbish to find the ancient political line of demarkatOn between the parties. But what cannot be altered must be submitted to, and we therefore recommend hearty support to the District Senatorial Ticket, the best of the two, and for the most part composed of very trustworthy and intei- gent gentlemen. u
 We are gratied also to learn that the expression of dsapprobaon against the Jackson tCket IS so gene raj in the It iha every thing ike Oppo- sition to the regular ticket is onIemned federal ,by a few interested parzans; but we trust the time has passed by, when patriotic measures, and valuable men, can be put down by the cry of offederasm being ra sed against them. This feature in state elections which is very derogatory an intel- gent people. Look al it tt really is Last year sundry nominations, both for Congress and the State Senate were repugnant to the wishes of the freemen and as in duty bound they rectfed the bu
 siness. The cry was then r"sed tha all this oppos- ton the regular ticket federal trick; but the people were not to be deceived by the bugbear; and the polls testified that they determined to act as freemen ever should act,with single eye to the pub lie good. This year well grounded objections are raised against many of the regular candidates; otJec
 tions founded upon partaities relative to great and important national qaeston. These objections nave been stated the people, and an appeal is made to their patriotism, whether they are not valid. The cry of" federal trick is agan raised; and notwithsand- ing nearly one half ofthe old school republican papers in the state are enlisted in the good cause, few others of them buster away as though the state just about fall back into the hands Ot the tede- ra aristocracy of 1906 and 1872. The effect however of these false alarms IS good the people begin to learn that this party cry is all hoax, started and kept up by offce-seekers and office expectans, simply to throw dust into their eyes, and thus enable themselves to feather their own nests more se- cureiy.
 With the exception of dstricting, the great princl
 pies for which republicans contended twenty and thr- ty years ago, established on too fl basis to be l oyerthrown; indeed we do not believe that one tenth part of the freemen could be induced to express
 wish for their overthrow. It IS also more than just,
 In every sense that the men who bore the "heat and
 burden of the day" in bring gng about these correct
 principles, shouid be the foremost men in office, to 1 cherish and pFotect them. But we have fallen upon
 evil times in ths particular. Men who were not known
 republicans twelve years ago, are the first to shout
 federal enemy" if the least effort is made to put cheek to anv of their unholy measures Old school democrats are hunted down with the of federaI
 ist, and every thing bid fair for the perma- nency of the mew light system. Now if the old lines of party have become SD completely obera'ed as 1t appears they iave and If be necessary to have par ty names appeal to the good sense of every one il he not better to adopt names most vogue the tion--n which convey amean'ng, to dwell any longer upon hacknied, worn out, and obsolete party distinctions.
 "Jackson Movements and Signs.---Mr. Van Buren, of N. Y. informed gentleman from COnnectcut, some few days since, that Jackson candidates for the Le gslature would he nominated in that state. This new to the Connecticut gentleman, but has since to- Ken place."
 The above is taken from Washington city paper, , entitled "We thepeople." Now let the freemen look at the facts they really are. Mir. Van Buren, the great Northern leader of the opposition, previous the County Conventions in this state "here will be Jackson candidates om'nated for the Legislature in Connecticut" The conventions held, and a. bout one half of the candidates in nom; nation are found to be Jackson men. Was this done by in- trigue, was it purely accidental? Fellow citizens, remember it is favore maxim of the Jackson party, '' the end will justify the means;' and it under the full influence of this maxim that many renegade politician secured seat in National Legislature. Just before the election they were loud in their pro- fessions of attachment to the ..dmnisraton---where do they stand Ii the ireemen of this state suf- fer themselves to he deceived by the crocodile invita- tons of open, avowed Jackson men, or by the party complaints of repub ican dough faces, they may re- pent their creduity when it will be too late. It an
 nsuferable insult upon common sense, that the Times men, who last year vigorously opposed the regular ticket, who have received their warmest embrace every Jackson Federast in the country. whose whole soul is bent uI throwing this state into the political arms of Andrew Jackson, and who more a. bout the interests of the republican pary,-any far ther than it be made subservient to their amb- tous views, ,than they care about the succession of some petty German principality, say it is insuf ferab'e that thispaper should be pitched upon the mouth-pece of the party in Connecticut. We are somewhat nearer Jacksonism in this han the people aware of The best republicans among us have been suffered live in retirement for the last few years, and the leaders of the party, always un- principled, have begun to throw of their cloak and tell what they Their cry heretofore has been, {" unon of state and national politics ;' now that the union promises to be consummated agreeaby to their wishes, they anxious should take pace-. We unhesi,atingy declare it as our firm conviction, that this state has been pledged to Andrew Jackson
