Litchfield enquirer., 1840-04-02


ton, and have now room for only word Of exhorta
tiOn. Are all our friends ready for the combat that is
about to take place. Have all necessary arrange
ments been made to bring out the voters and diff
culties, which may have been created in heated
struggle, been healed any doubtful and rejecting
men, who have heretofore gone with the enemy, been
seen and conversed with, and " moral suason" used
to bring them into the right state of mind to the
wing ticket any who have taken umbrage at some
trifing local circumstance, but whose hearts are
sound in the good cause been reasoned with and in
duced to throw their prejudices to the Winds and sup
port manfully the party Of their choice Let all
member that this combat is but the prelude to the
obstinate conflict that is to take place in the fall
upon the Presidential field. Let all remember that if
come out of this conflict unscathed, the next con-
test in this state will be comparatively easy but if
we suffer the enemy to make nroadsA upon US now,
they will fight with desperate ferceness in the
fall. 1t behoves all, therefore, to be up and doing
nO'O that hereafter reproach them with neg
Iceland by doing satisfy their consciences that
they have discharged duty to themselves and their
country.
LOOK WELL TO YOUR TICKETS THE enemy are
desperate and will resort to all manner Of frauds de-
feat the will Of the people, Examine your tickets be-
fore putting them into the box. See that your oppo-
nents have not pracliced fraud upon you by substi
tu,ing the loco foco for the wing Senator. In the
10Th and 18th districts, desperate effort will be made
by the ocos to carry their Senator and it behoves
the wings to be upon their guard against frauds Each
district can be carried by the whgs-and will be, it
there is cordial union, by handsome majority
Lltchhed county must have three wing Senators.
o. The PRosPECT.-Our &C counts from all sections
Of the state of the most cheering character New
Haven, Hartford, and Fairfield counties will consid-
eraby increase their majorities of last year the
State Ticket and also increase the number of their
members of the legislature On the eastern side of
Connecticut river too the good work is progressing,
and, unless are greatly deceived in the signs of
the times, loco focosn is destined to receive such
overthrow it has not met within number of years
Mddlesex county is the only dark fthe state,
and even there, assured from various sources
that the wings will make great nroads, if they do
actually carry majority both for Governor and Of the
Representatives. Speed the good work.
Litchfeld County never locke d brighter than al pre-
sent. Though boast not Of great many changes,
there enough to alter the representation in three
or four towns from last year. Accounts from Sharon,
Salisbury, New-Mlford, and Warren, give assuran-
ces that friends will this year carry those towns
and we hear Of none that shall be likely to lose,
except perhaps Washington, which is and has been
for many years very nearly balanced New.Harford
and Goshen-always true steel--will probably
give the largest maiorities on the Whg ticket, but
Torrington will come pretty near to them. Cornwall
which the lucos claimed last fall will increase her ma
jority, and elect sound wings to represent her
And as an evidence that the locos consider their own
cause hopeless, they have nominated one OF the sound
est wings in the town for representative. Norfolk
will increase her majority and our friends will make
inroads upon Canaan, Kent and Woodbury. AS for
Litchfied-she will do he duty, and we think her
whole duty. She cannot be brought under the do
minion Of loeu tucosm this year. Only think of their
supporting ultra Bank for representatives in the
persons Of Seymour and Catln Look out for IS wing
majority
The last New-Haven Register publishes long ad-
dress from gentleman of Oxford, who, it claims,
formerly Wing representative. Just such a
Wing as Morris Woodruff, of this town, who in 1896
was The Clay E,ector This Oxford gentleman
member OF the legislature in 1885, and among the
strongest evidences Of his whiggerv at that day was
his voting for The removal of Albert Sedg ick as Sher
if Of Litchfeld County, Must not he be queer
WING? Benedict Arnold was once patriot but
he had not moral character enough TO continue one.
ave learn from the New-Ha~en Herald that Hon.
Perry SMITH U. s. Senator from Conrecticu', lies
dangerously Ill at his residence in w-Miford."
This we believe is mistake. Mr. Smith returned
NJ. 49,.
which he was party-was afterwards attacked with
his old complaint the "rumatiz," from which he has
now nearly recovered. He will we understand start
for Washington this week, at farthest Immediately
after the election-next Monday. Much as we desire
to see his in the Senate filled with better and
an ADLER man, we should regret to have him abandon
it Oh account of i'll health.
Mr.. Editor-Permit me through the columns of
vonr paper TO express nv pleasure at the result of the
Wing nomination for second representative in this
town. 1t has long been a custom in Hartford New
Haven, and most Of the wing cities and LARGE towns
Of the state to send one Young and one middle aged
man. Among our opponents, this il almost every
where the case; and it is from this fact that they
claim to be such great friends Of the Young men,
Now. sir, il is left for the Young men Of Iichfeld-
Tor II is in their power-to determine whether Mr.. E.
G. Bacon whom even our opponents admit to he
man Of fine talents and character, will do them more
honor their representative in the legislative hall
than Mr.. Dan CHflin, the Mortified Postmaster, who
in connection with the Milton postmaster, melted
the disgraceful outrage that attended last spring
election. A YOU'VE MAN.
Compulsion Refuted. Many worthy Wings in this
town have been decried by the runners from the Lo
co camp, and charged with attempting to coerce
in their employment to vote the Wing ticket, or leave
For one, can say that this assertion, from whatever
source it may have come, is utterly destitute Of found
alton; and that not instance ofhe kind TO my know
edgehas occurredin the town. Some may have been
DISCHARGED on account Of the pressure times but
