To the Electors Of Litchfe County.
Fellow Citizens-We can hardly believe it necessa-
~ call your attention the ensuing election, for
the purpose of exciting any interest which you do not
already feel. Ii is 10 be presumed that the people
not to be deluded by the miserable attempt made by
the tattered remnants OF the jackson party Of our
state, led by Gideon, and his brother Barber Of the
Register to support, by their surages, the ticket they
have laid before the public for Congress-at the head
Of which stands Gideon WeHes-,o the exclusion of
those who have formerly ably and faithfully repre-
sented our true interests in that body.
The despicable effort that is now making through.
out the state to secure the triumph of class OF men
whose sole object has been for long time 10 pull
down, and disorganze but plainly evnces the las.
struggle of the cause which they began and have thus
far sustained The general impression is, that Iher
own conduc, has sealed their deieat-and that they
can longer sustain their measures. This may be
the case-aMd ought TO he so-for SO odious have their
measures become to the community at large, that ma
ny have confidence that they poll respectable
number Of in support Of their nomination, with.

borne in mind that all means are tried and all meas
resorted TO that give them any possible adj
vantage. And know not how large par, ofihe
electors may be mised by msdrected zeal, If no
means used TO counterfeit the work Of their ennis
saes abroad in every part OF the state But be their
influence great or small, it would certainly he mani

flight, and giving sharp rcbuke TO the currency Of
their spurious doctrines. We hope that all the
publcans Of this county will unite at the polls the
first Monday OF April next, and support that Ticket

Mechanics Magazine, and Register of Inventions
and Improuements-In our advertising columns to-day
our readers will observe prospectus for publ
cation in New-York, under the above title, devoted
almost exclusively to the mechanic arts. We have re-
ceved the first Two numbers Of the work and can
daily recommend il 10 our brother mechanics as a
useful publication. By it, the mechanics of all classes
may, we imagine ascertain many things pertaining
their interests and privileges, and probably in quite rs
clear manner as by attending public meetings for po
llcal purposes subserve the views of few design
ing individuals who desire to ride into office upon the
prejudices Of their fellow citizens.
We wish not to be misunderstood msreprcsent-
ed. We would 60 far ms any one To vindica'e the
rights and privileges flhe mechanic interest when
is really oppressed. We woal4 go all lengths with
them in asserting their just prerogatives. We by no
means feel disposed debar them from becoming po-
,cians and statesmen, and holding their due weight
in the administration Of the government. On the con-
trary to the right understanding Of their politica! in
