 "SAvE ME FROM MY FR1ENDs-I WILL TAKE CARE OF MY ENEMIES"
 The following resolution was passed at the humbug convention of young men got up by Cotton, Jr. and others at Salisbury Hollow on the l7th inst
 Resolved, That WIG rejoice that the voice of Con- nectlsn after an fnterral t'ceay yeoTs IS ct h"gh In the Honorable John N. Niles recognise stntcs- man who can stand up as an equal amidst the ablest
 men of the Senate, strong in the ustness of the !u and cultivated intellect" t.f
 We ask every reader to look over careful ly the foregoing resolution. Does 1t not in- volve the affirmation that Connecticut has not been heard |" in the upper branch of our na- tional Legislature" for the period of twenty years anterior to the appointment of MT: Niles? The expression is very strong" ,ce rejoice that the roice of Connecticut, afier an i.-
 e'rol of t,centy gears, IS ct length heard ;" that is to say, during that time Connecticut has been profoundly silent, but at length J. M. N. has got into the Senate of the U. States, and "we" (Cotton Jr. and others) "reioice that she is now heard" It will be rccollectcd that Mir. Niles took his seat in the Senate of tho U. s. in December 1885. A period oftwenty years before that "glorious event" will car ry us back to December 1915, just one year after the close of the late war, when Con- nccticut was represented by David Daggett and Samuel w. Dana in the Senate of the U. s. Then it seems (according to Cotton Jr.) Connecticut was heard :; for if not the,,.. why say shc is now eat length heard after an interraz of twenty years !" The resolu-' ton involves the idea not only that the State acas heard immediately before. And who has represented Connecticut during these dis creditable years in the U. S. Senate? They were Eliiiiah. Boardnan, .James Lann,an, HEN RY.W.EDWARDS, Calvin Wiley, Samuel 4. Fnot, Gadeon I0nslinson, and Nathan Smith,. By these whipsters. as Cotton Jr. saith, Con- necticut was not heard at all. Not that the fellow means that they were actually dumb founded, but that they did not faithfully represent the feelings. wishes, principles and interests of the People of the State. Eren Henry ". Ed,cards aras e mis.representatire of Connecticut-yca! that everlasting great dcm-
 
 House of Representatives performed the sig nal exploit of running away to eat his dinner pending the Missouri question: did not cause ihe State to be heard :" in the upper branch of our national Legislature" Whew! Con- necticut not heard! and Henry w, Edwards a member of the U. s. Senate!! Does this "sprout of aristocracy," in his new born zeal for loco-focoism, mean to annihilate the whole reign of Connecticut democracy tin the upper branch of our national Legisla- ture!" The State, he says, was once heard by her "grave and reverend seigniors" at Washington, and she is now heard by J. M. N9e but the former era he carries back to the titse when he himself was kicking federal ,sm in3he loins of his respectable progenitors., He HIS the representation of the State by AAEr. MS on to the representation ofthe samc State h4 Messrs. Daggctt and Dana, and af- firms that the whole interval is worse than darkness. Is it not apparent that this giddy yQuth iStTanpting under foot real democra-- cYa that 'hess Sets up and worships black cockade federalism or toryism of the darkest hue? We ask the democrats, the real repub- licans' of the seventeenth District, and es> pecially the electors of Kent, to look at this resolution and determine whether they will support faction which affirms that Con- necticut is only heard when represented by toUoIUtteto "'tu IWtcS = HI llIC uppCI UIduCu O1 our national Legislature p
 With respect 10 the concluding part of the Resolution, we would respectfully move n slight amendment Gin order to develope more fully the meaning of the Babies of Salisbury HoilOw.) and that is, to insert the word Mar fin next before the word Strong as used in two instances by the author of this pre-. cious affair. Let the whole read thus (and then twill pass by acclamation.)
