ADDRESS.

Electors Of Connecticut! We have convened for
purposes consistent with views of the beet inter-
ests of this State and have exhibited, in the form
of resolutions, our opinions the great questions
winch now agate our country, fully, that little
mains to be addressed to you.
We have formed ticket of men, whose QuaIifca-
tons for their respective offices well known to
you. All Of them friendly to Henry Clay and the
American System, and favorable to the views of Ma
tionaI policy which we entertain and all ofthem have
received high testimonies Of public confidence.
The above Resolutions and Ticket respectfully
offered for your appreciation, with confident hope,
on our part, that in every county and district Of The
State they will meet a cordial support.
In former seasons men Of different minds have met
at the polls, contendng for their views of policy
gardlng the General and State Governments hut
now all is AT stake. The great institutions Of our
Countrywide Public Press, Free Suffrage the Judicial
ny, the National Currency, Public Treaties. and the
American System are III Jeopardy, and tie ballot
boxes must relieve from the evils which we feel
and the greater evils which we fear.
Let, then, our ticket he the raying point for all
good men and true, who would protect their insu-
tons from invasion and destruction.
In the present condition Of the world our work.
shops must he at home our Manufactures, now rap
idly advancing, must he supported and every part Of
our Country needs internal improvement, which can
be eectuaIy sustained only by the ample funds oGthe
Nation.
We are disposed that all the sections ofthe United
States should enjoy, equally may be- the benefits Of
the Union, and are persuaded, that those sections,
which depend most upon the cultivation OF the earth,
now enjoy fair portion Of those benefits. High as
the merits and strong the claims Of our Man
"acturers and Artisans, not less those Of the Ag
rculturasis: aud If they are not equally protected
and encouraged by laws and Institutions we look
10 the ability and fidelity Of our rulers TO correct the
error
To this State these considerations are emineny i'm
portan and hence has arisen our sOliclude 10 une
the support Of men, who will sustain the measures,
which we deem To be vitality important To such
measures the administration OF the General Govern
nemt has evinced its hostility. We therefore, look
forward 10 the election Of HENRY CLAY 10 the
next Presidency, because in him we are sure 10 find
an able, ardent and uniform supporter ofIbe great rln-
cples, on which rest our hest interests, our highest
hopes, aud the stability Of the National Union.
Electors Of Connecticut I'VE are contending for
the support Of those principles, which received the
sanction Of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison We
united for the purpose ofprotecns American Me-
chanics, American Sailors, and American Farmers
Our opponents favorrg British Manufacturers,
British Wcvkmen, and British Interests. We con-
the sacred constitution Oi our fathers asa reput-
lican constitution. Our opponents would make F"
Monarchcal. We consider man nothing and the
people every thing. They reverse our rule, and up
hold the Veto Of one man The known will of toe
majority Of the Nation. We are opposed to every al
tempt to weaken the bonds OF union and would rally,
Of old, around the altar of our Common County,
They smiling on the Nullifers OF the south, and
telling of State Sovereignty when the spirit OF disnh-
ion is abroad. We would leave human opinion free
and untrammelled. Our opponents have surrounded
themselves with pensoncd corps, whose duty It Is to
contend for their masters like the body guards OF y-
rant, and overawe the people and drill them into sub
lection. As in the dark days Of revolution the Off
OF the British King ali in favor of bis Roy
Majesty, even the rewarded officers OF tile present
administration are unanimous IN iis favor.
Electors of Connecticut These are the contrasts
between the great parties in country. The men.
whom name for office, heart and hand with us
these cardinal points Of character We, therefore
again, and with great confidence OF success, RECON-
mend them your suflrages the frs, Monday OF
April next The days Of election the coronation
days of 1reemen Let the next, he glorious day for
our beloved State and Nation.
ROGER HUNTINGTON, President.
