cIRCULAR.

OF all those recently uo1oh's 6ieS.Aous' oiu out
bce,tren deem it expedient 10 make determined
..,for, this Fall NEw-JERsEY has done all that
could be wished, but Ohio has fsitered. By gem
erous effort TO their State from most nquit-
Gus aud shameful Apportionnent, and the tnion
from its consequences in a gross tnisrepresenta-
ton in the House, such as has long been ezhib-
tied in the Senate, the Whgs have subjected them
selves. however unjus;ly, to the charge of anarchy
and tina, has suficed for their Temporary prostra-
tion BY majority of barely 5000 in 100000
votes-or less thar one in serenty-they over
borne. The manner Of this defea, is as evident
as the cause While there has been iacrense Of
votes in the strong Loco-Foco Counties, the Wing
strong-holds have beer but partially drawn out;
and enough Whig votes remain unpolled in FIVE
Counties to have changed entirely the result of the
contest Shall the warning be lost upon our ERIE,
CaAuTAueuE, WAsHisoTog and Old GESEsEE2
We would not underrate the magnitude Of this
disaster. Doubtless in 1874, when the name of
HENRY CLAY is directly before the People the
Wing voters whose apathy has caused this mischief,
will come out, ond Ohio be found on the side of her
principles and her interests. No man can compare
the vote Of the several Counties and not that
the State would at this time have given decided
| majority for the Wing candidate for President
But the deporable consequences of this reverse
| more imminent and the time more endu-
! ring than those of wrong vote in 1914. They
extend through the whole Of the ensuing ten years.
| BY this result the Loco-Focos empowered TO
consumms,e their villainous plan Of Arportion
ment, which piles up all the decidedly Wing Coun-
ties in six Dstric,-, and distributes the Leco-Fo-
CO s,rong-hods so as to cover and bind down all
the debateable ground, giving to that party fifteen
on the present vote, and fourteen Cor two-thirds
of the entire delcga,ion) in defiance Of popular
Wing majority of thousands. Throughout the en-
suing ten years, then, We must surely expect to
| encounter, no matter what may be the verdict Of
| her People, the two Senators and two-thirds OF
the Representatives of Ohio arrayed in deadly and
| unceasing hostility TO the Restoration of UNl-
| FORM NATIONAL CURRENCY, TO the PROTECTION
OF OUR HoME LABOR. to the LAND DISTRIBUTION,
and to all the great measures essential to rebuild
ing of our National Prosperity.
Here is the paint of danger on which we have
been impelied at this time to address YOU The
Loco Focos of Ohio though they have ,riumphed
at this time on the strength Of their deafening
camor of Treason against the resigning Wing
Members of the late Legislature, and by masking
for the moment their deadly hostility to any form
Of Banking or Paper Money, are yet decided and
frank upon all questions of National Policy. They
are Destructives of the least equivocal stamp; op.
posed not merely to all measures looking to Ma
tiona Currency, but openly, bitterly hostile to the
Protection Of American Industry. Their Governor
! elect is understood to be Calhoan man they are
ali, with exceptions, supporters of the Cal
| noun doctrines. There is no Incidental nor
horizontal jugge about them. In hostility to
Protection and hatred of its advocates, they are
not exceeded by their brethren of New Hampshire
IT South Carolina. And such will inevitably BE-
he large majority of their Representatives in the
next Congress, no matter what may be the vote o.
the People.
Thus, Freemen of New-York. the grealissue Of
rrotectioo or No Projection comes down to you.
Ohio, though still Wing at heart, and safe to vote
with US for President, throws her giant weight for
years into the scale of British Free Trade. new
Congress is now to be elected in which desperate
Struggle will be made to repeal all the Protective
features of tie New Tariff, and reduce it to sy:.
| tenn Of low horizontal duties for Revenue merely
| NEw-YoRX is the first State to elect legally Mem
oers of that Congress. Shall they be consistent
| hearty advocates, or disguised and treacherous
| enemies of Pro,ecton1 Your votes and your exer
ertions must speedily determine.
For more than fifty years, down to last winter,
the State of NewYo1k has maintained one uni
form position on this question. Her vece has been
spontaneously, earnestly raised in favor of the
principle and policy of Protection. Her illustrious
Governor, GEORGE CLINTON, urged its adoption
even before the Federal Constitution was formed
as well as repeatedly afterward. Protection to
Home Industry was one Of the chief inducements
to the formation of that Constitution, and of her
assent to it. Her far-seeing and eloquent HAM
ILToN early and ably illustrated and defended the
policy Of Protection, in Report which has never
yet been contrever,ed. Her patriotic ToMPKlNs
repeatedly and zealousy urged in his several Mes
sases the most efficient Protection of our Home
Industry by the repression of Foreign rivalry. So
did her great De Witt CLINTON, as well as mos,
Of his successors. Her Legislature in each case
responded to the sentiment not only with alacrity
bu. with remarkable unanimity, as the Journals
abandantly show. On no important question has
there been such entire and cordial unanimity among
the People of New.York, through half century
of asisaton, as on this topic of Protection, down
to the era Of Loco-Focoism.
If the question of Protection or No Frotection
could now be submitted directly and sixply to the
