 The Hartford Times and it's co wn nrkers in Van BW- renism ,hr"ughou, ihe state making great ado ai,ou, Banks monopolies Sc. as if they thought they could impose upo" the people by the stale cry Eve " intelligent knows that he legislature 1853. when the Jacksog party had the complete control, the Governor and bo,h branches of the legislature being of sar rary, ,h", there Banks aud great er suou", of Ba"A capital chartered ,ha" any pre- rions sthseque"t islatnrs since the eistence c the state.

 We perceive ny the las, Hartford Times that the young federal Van Bureniies of Sharon have lately had meeting, passed sundry resolutions, and ordered them ,o be printed. Among them is this One:
 'We consider lha, any eecOr claiming to he de- inoerat, who a from the regular ticket on account of personal pr, jUdce whO rOm any equal ly selfish motive will ihe ickei, ihe whole tsckei, ad nothing the ticket, in vidual who
 ou sacrifice his friends aud his party, graiiiy his 0wn private feelings and reseOlments, and desev- ing ol the contempt of every hoporable, hgh.minled aud consistent republican. In accordance with the above sentiments we soemOly pledge OurrelVes, one and all, to support the utmost UC pO~eT at the next election, each and every candidate tno matter what his character qualification may be wIO hGs been Or MAY nominated by tue democratic party, for epery eteetice eGce."!!
 Now is this deleciable for people prefessingto be GemOeratic? Why the Czar of Russia, the Pope of Rome, the Dey of Agiers could not issue mandates more abhorreni .he proud feelings Of democra,s or ai any democratic whigs, than these. What! shall apt free citizen of CoaneceU, have the privilege of ahakilg fOr himself without being deOounced as wOr. shy of.si's "con.e@pt of high-minded repotca0sf" !"
