ged The last Courant contains the following:
"oUT AT LAsT''-N SPITE OF THEM.
Mr.. EprToR-In the Times of the Doth inst is let
ter from MI Richard Niles, of Windsor, complaining
somewhat of a late communication in the Patriot &
Democrat.
This Mr.. R. Niles, your readers must know, is bro
Their to the woud-be Governor and an individual of
much note and consequence with his party in this
County and State In this letter of Mr.. Ms in the
Times he says speaking Of the effect of the subtrea-
reduced' [by iii "6ut that produce and the necessaries
Of life tDOuLd be reduced in much greater Proportion.
To these remarks of this gentleman, known as he
is to be the mere echo of Senator John M 8 senli-
ments, have but simple inquiry to make which is,
What will our laborers and farmers, who are moW
groanng under what they consider ruinousy " redu-
Ced prices saw the former to the idea OF having the
price of labor reduced the latter to that of hav
ing produce and the accessories Of life reduced in
much greater proportion" and all in consequence OF
that inestimable blessing, the sub-treasury? Enc.
Edward Everitt was nominated by the wing con-
vention of members of the legislature of Massachu-
sets as the candidate for Governor He declined the
nomination, on the ground that the health of his fam-
" required that he should visit Europe the coming
summer, and wrote the committee appointed for the
purpose of communicating with him u long letter,
tlom which we extract the following:
~ need not assure you, that the dolngs OF the con-
vention, in reference to national politics, have my
hearty concurrence. Having been Familiarity &C.
quained with General HARRISON at Washington, du-
ring The four years of President Adams admnistra-
ton, [ have ample and personal knowledge OF his
honesty, capacity, and patriotism" His talents are
of high orders his general reading, particularly in
the department OF history, is extensive and accurate
lie is good speaker and good writer, witness his
discourse on the Aborgnes Of the valley Of the Ohio
in 1888 j his practical acquaintance with affairs IS
exceeded by that Of few individuals in the country
and his public services have been extended over
longer period, believe, than those of any man now
on the stage Warmly attached, as have been, to
the former candidates Of Massachusetts, still regard
the nomination of General Harrison most tavora-
bic The country is under the highest obllga'
tons to those distinguished statesmen whose magma
nmity has produced perfect union OF the Wing par
tv in les support. feel confident that this nomlna-
ton will prove the of effecng that change in
national politics, which has become so necessary Tor
the public welfare. The country needs relet from the
policy pursued by the General Government and the
intense party action by which it has thus far been sus-
tanned. The continual appeal to the worst passions
of men, by the party press 10 scarcely ess perclous
than the measures, in the support OF which those pas
sions are enlisted. 1t is evident from indications TOO
plain to be mistaken that the People have decreed
change and that the nomination OF General Harrison
is the instrument, by which 1t Will be elected
Origen S. Seymour, ESQ, Bank stockholder, Bank
director Bank Attorney, Bank Notary, Justice of the
Peace, Clerk of the County, Superior and Supreme
Courts, &c. &C.. and Dan Catlin, Esq, Postmaster,
&c, were last week nominated by the Loco foco par
y of this town for Representatives to the next Cen
eral Assembly. What consistency! Where is poor
Abernethy for whom the party pretended to feel so
much sympathy year or two ago? Cast of-as
every one expect be whenever one ofthe clique
wants an office. The freemen, however, have yet TO
pass judgment upon this nomination. Twice the past
year did they repudiate Mr.. SIS principles. They
will do it again the first Monday Of April by an in
creased ina oIty.
Seren Reasons why Loco foco candidate for the
Legislature should receive the votes OF what par ex-
ceIlence is called the Anti-Bank and ani-monopoly
party:
]. He is large Bank stakeholder!
g lie is Director in Bank f!
s. He is Attorney for a Bank }! with large fees!
T. He is Notary Public, and gets the fees for
Bank protesting!
5. He is Justice of the Peaces
6. He is Clerk of the County Court!
T. He is Clerk of the Superior and Supreme Courts
these are not sufficient why he should re.
ceve every vote cast by the party who pretend TO
hold in adherence Banks and monopoles, and null
tiplcity Of officers in person, then know not
what reasons can be given
The loco foco papers make grea; ado because our
Congressman discharge their duty in ranking an &C.
casiona document TO their constituents but we hear
not a word of complaint when the mails are loaded
down with loco newspapers and other trash under the
frank of B. Tappan, Of Ohio" and other tory men,
hers, directed to persons of whom they heard
save through the letters of officous postmaster
no iS beta of hat
the locos call "doubttul men" are sent on to Wash
ington, and members of Congress from other states
are charged with the duty of sending them documents
In nine cases out of ten, these doubtful ones thus
become more confirmed wings than ever. They can't
stand so much soft soap.
We have never seen the loco foco papers Of this
state, particularly the Times and Register, filled with
much electoneering stuff as at the present time
nor did we ever little that had any point orpun
gency to it. tits all scum-all froth-all lie. Their
cause must be desperate indeed when such despica-
bic means resorted to to prop up All the catch
words, italics, SMALL CAPITALS, CAPITALS, 9T s.
ts n!!s, &C. &c. &c, with which their printing Off
ces abound, put into requsition, and these are
used instead of reason and argument. What folly !!
What an outrage upon the intelligence and intellect
ua capacity of their readers
The locos are hard to please In this town they
complain shat the expense of making out the Registry
List will almost ruin us. Why, srs, remember that
the mere change Of the meeting of the Seleetmen
and authority from the County House to the Tenn
perance House will cover the whole expense; and
with the Topping off of that excrescence the sirth
seectman, more than double the amount.
