7O the YoSng Men of Litchfe Countv.
 It is with great satisfaction that have noticed in the last Li,ch6eId Enquirer call upon the Repubi- can young men of this County, friendly the election of HENRY CLAY to the Presidency, to take measures to secure representation from Connecticut in the Convention to be holden at Washin gton in May next This is a subject in which you, of all classes in the community have the deepest interest. lf it be true, that permanent security depends upon firm political principles, it s also true that is only through them that we can hope to triumph And i, is no less true that such principles can never pervade this, any other community without early ard careful attention to the appropriate means of securing the greates. good of the people. l call upon you, therefore, awake Behold for yourselves the corruption that pervaes the prevailing political system. Mark the degrading ser- vily which characterizes the friends of the presen, national administration in this Siate and reflect on your duty to yourselves and to your country The eyes of intriguing demagogues upon you-thsir tolls are spread-.hey seek, in the assumed garb of preen. ded republicanism, to make you suserve their selfish purposes Under the musk of friendship for the pco. pie, they aim at the subversion of those principles which as freemen you hold most dear. Be on your guarl-ReA eAect-Study not only whn, is, but wha.

If there is aught ol danger to those institutions which constitute the chief glory of our country, to whom is the danger most alarming2 To the young men.

 country a. this most interesting period oe our national existence. Y. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE 18th DISTRICT.
 The time is at hand when you are again to be call. ed upon to choose person to represen. your in- terests in tho Senate of this State. This is privi- ege, and demands few moments (at leas) of delib. crate consideration. The qualifications and cl,arac- ters of candidates for public office are sort of public prop er,y with which all have right to be made ac. quainied, aud which one has right 10 ridcule ou abuse. You have two names for the office Of Sena. tor before you, CALVIN BUTLER, Esq. Of Plymouth, and CHARLES A. HUDSON, Esq. of Washngton--and the question probably will be, which of these men will you have to represent you Mr. Butler is gem tlemaD literally educated, enlightened and talent ed lawyer of liberal, yet dignfed and ndepc cndent political principles well vcrssd in the political hsto- " oi our State we'll acquainted with our republican institutions and the spirit of laws, and from long 'nteScourae wiIh public and public lile is well calculated to confer honor upon himself and tlc seat for which his name is before the public. Mr. Judson is gentleman of restricted education, faithful dep- uty sheriff, in which office hc has served the public for some years-an honest, amiabe man in a the re. laOns Ofe, but believed, ofa very high grade Intellect, ofa very i"dePenden, political character or well versed in the liberal principles of our repub cas institutions. To most ofyou, both of these gentle men are known. Mir. Butler has, by long services in our Legislature, distinguished himself an able, up. right, and judcious politician. Mir. Judson has had 70 experience in legislation. Choose, therefore, in view of all the probable results to which your choice may lead-which of these yeu will have to repre- cent you. An important crisis is approaching, in which she Jacksonan dynasty perish, or we must be overwhelmed with irreirevable ruin. ask you then. whether you will have man deyoiedly attached to Jacksons administration, who is the ardent supporter of CLAY and LIBERTY.
