J. ADAMS, Chairman.
W We hardly deem it necessary again to remind
the Wings Of this county Of the public interests which
arc atssake in the approaching political contest or to
urge upon them the duty and necessity Of continuing
their systematic and vigorous efforts to maintain the
ascenJency Of sound principles. We trust they are
fully awake to the importance of the crisis, and will
not willingly and wilfully permit the wheels Of revo.
luton to roll backwards. There is Wing strength
enough, in the county and in the State il fairly en-.
listed. to put ut defiance oil opposition. The only
room for fear rests in the possibility that some who
are with US in sentiment will be induced stny away
from the polls. either from feelings Of false security,
or Of dlsaftecson Soma are we doubt not, who
have been led TO look with comparative indifference
upon the result Of the contest before them, because
:heir hopes and expectations in regard to certain
measures which come within the cognisance Of the
General Government have not been fully realized.
But is j. wise or polite to throw away wha. we have
gained, because we have failed to accomplish all we
desired 10 it acting the par. Of men aud patriots
throw down arms and surrender our country into
the hands Of the spoilers because complete and final
triumph las not already crowned our efTorls7 Such
was not the patriotism and seIfdenying zeal Of our
fathers; and shall be less earnest and un,irng in
our endeavors to preserUs than they were achieve
the blessings Of civil and religious frecdom7 The
great principles for which the Wings have been so
long conending have not been changed by the lapse
Of q few months. but this moment as vitality i'm.
por.ant to the welfare Of the republic as they ever
WERE lfany to whom the public interests have been
entrusted have abandoned those principles or have
failed carry them their full extent shall their
constituents therefore prove recreant, and by supne
ness and inactivity suffer the incubus Of Locofocoism
again TO iasen itself upon the vals Of the country
Rather let them rise in their majesty and right their
wrongs"
The death Of Presiden. Harrison, and the events
consequent upon il. have revived the waning hopes
Of his political adversaries, and here elsewhere,
they are engaged in desperate struggle TO re.
gain the ascendency which they forfeited by their
msdeeds. Shall they be succes.ful? WHO'S OF
LrrcurrEID COUNTY! let your answer be given at the
Polls on Monday next.
New WING SENATOR FROM LOUISIANA THE Le-
gsiature OF Louisiana have elected CHARLES NJ Con-.
RAD, Esq, true and Jealous Wing, to fill the vncan.

Of Mr.. Mouton, locofoco The vote stood for Conrad
IS; for all others, %.
SHERIFF SEDewIcK. - The people Of Litch6eld
county have another opportunity to rally IN sur
port Of this efficient and faithful officer, and we
doubt not he will be triumphansy reelected over ell
opposition Even his political opponents never dared
to call in question his honesty or capacity. He s ia
the prime Of life, too. and that 10 worth considering
when we elect an officer who is necessarily subject
ed 10 great exposure in all seasons and all hours
Will not every honest elector throw party cOnsidera
lions aside this question, and give his for
officer with whom the firss fault has no. yet been
found.
