NEW VOTERS.
There is q class Of young men VINO LAY ~.
never been admitted electors Dut VINO snIs
year, for the first time, can exercise ~" : 0.o
| tive franchise. 1t is Of the utnost nnPol- ,
lance to such, that they cuUu'u A. AZ
corn;nr election, more than ever before, they
are called upon by every motive winch can
;na,once a freeman, to come forward and
1ond their aid in support of the cause OF truth
and patriotism. Is there among the young
men of Connecticut, (many of whom are sut-
| fering most severely from the present state
of things,) one who is hesitatlng whether to
vote at all-and, if he votes, on which side
his influence shall be thrown? If there is
such an one, whose eyes may chance to meet
this communication, would say to him
cast YOUR ewes around YOU, and see the dire
full changes which a few years of misrule
have produced. A short time since we had
safe and convenient currency, an admirable
system of exchanges, and constant demand
for employment in every branch of business.
All this we have lost and you, who are now
hesitating with regard to your own vote, have
sufficient intelligence to know that this loss
! is to be attributed solely to the course OF the
last and present administrations. You are
satisfied that the distress which pervades the
land, is caused by the wickedness or the fol-
I ly of our rulers. The office-holders may af-
| firm that there is no distress or embarrass-
ment" but they affirm it in vain to YOU
| You have seen it, and still see it, with your
own eyes. Perhaps you have yourself been
thrown out of employment. Perhaps your
own friends and relatives are at this moment
suffering from the depression OF business
And will you still hesitate? What motive
can you have to assist the Loco Focos IN
bringing still more direful distress and ruin
upon the country! Are you bound by the
| chain of party? A freeman at such a crisis
as this will spurn the letters of party, and
scatter them to the four winds OF heaven
Are you afraid of offending friend! Why
should not that friend be equally afraid of
offending you! In short, what reason can
you give in not doing your duty to your
may rest the destiny of the State. Your sim
gle vote may decide the contest. Hesitate
then no longer. With heart glowing with
patriotism, and fired with the love of civil lib
erty, come up to the rescue of the Constitu-
ton and the Laws, and add your voice to the
trumpet-tongued tones of rebuke which will
soon reach the ears of the demagogues who
have won the confidence of the nation only
to betray it. And when the news of our vic
tory shall be borne upon the wings of the
wind, to every quarter of the land, you will
feel the proud consciousness that your vote
contributed to the happy result.
Nev-London Costnty.-On Friday last, a.
greeably to the call for that purpose, a large
assemblage of the freemen of this County
collected at the Town Hall in this city, for
the expression of their sentiments respecting
the prominent measures fthe Executive ad-
ministration of our national government
The number present was variously estima-
ted from seren hundred to thousand. We saw
around us the bone and sinew and ife-blood
of New-L London County-and the Loco Fo-
cos of this region had there an opportunity
to witness the death-warrant of their foolish
and unfounded anticipations regarding the
approaching election. 1t was the largest
convention of freemen ever assembled in this
County, on any similar occasion. Nor were
our hopes and expectations gratified by the
numbers only--the character and influence of
the individuals who composed it were equal
ly matter of satisfaction. And we are as
sured that the feelings of the gentlemen
present, and which they carried away with
them, will rebound greatly to the benefit of
correct political principles, and the conse-
quent discontinue of the demagogues of the
County. There was, also. in the matter put
forth, and the manner of so doing, by those
who addressed the convention, a deep and ir-
resistible impression upon the hearts of the
people, which cannot be easily eradicated.-
There were no ABUSIVE reproaches heaped
upon the administration of the government
or its advocates, but plain and matter of
fact relation of the evils brought upon us by
the Executive was rendered by the speakers.
:, Confident we are that all present must have
" gone away with wholesome and correct views
: regarding the prominent evils of the mal-ad-
. ministration of our government And we
: say to our Loco Foco antagonists, prepare
. for your certain destiny on the first Monday
: of April next.-Nor,cich Courier.
