Litchfield enquirer., 1843-02-02

dldafe for Congress in this district and If there is
any subject in which at the present time the Wings
should feel more deeply interested than another, it is
this. No exertions should be spared to ensure a
full and general attendance. II there are any towns
which have not yet selected delegates attend the
Convention, we would earnestly call upon them to
hold meetings at the time specified in the call for the
Convention, or at some other suitable time and be
sure to have our friends well represented in the
Convention from every town in the county. Let US
show to our friends from Fairfield County that the
old Wing spirits still alive and vigorous amidst the
hills and mountains Of our own, and that we ara de-
ermnedt to bring in our candidate by our old MAORI
OF eight hundred in the county, the strongest
! LocofocO that can be started in the district.
~ The Times and its eoadiutors in other parts Of
the State have been INDUCING in all manner of vitu.
perasons upon the Wing candidates and u;terng all
manner Of untruths as to their selection, ever since
the session Of the State Convention.
Those who have even sursorily read it, columns
for years past will not be at oil surprised that it has
not this year abandoned ts old propsnses in either
Of these respects. II would be indeed wonderful, il
there could be found life 90 pure. o. character 90
sposlsss, that the shafts Of malignity and Islander
could not reach shem-abose aA, when the charges
brought against them rest solely on falsehoed for
support and indeed it would rather initiate against
the character Of any man. who 10 or may become
candidate for Office in the Wing party, TO find tho
Times silent 30 to his character or life
The assertion % often and 90 rocklessly made
that eur former incumbent Of the office Of Governor
was dropped by the Wings without consulting him,
and even against his wishes. Is, we will venture 70
say, an entire untruth. There 10 no man in whom
the Wings have more confidence than in that gen
tleman. and shers is not one under whom The great
body Of the Wing party wsuld rally with more alae.

w. Ellsworth Sach being the case there is no class
Of men that composed the late State Convention that
would have dropped bis name from the ticket unso-

rally understood long before the sitting of the Con-
vention, that Gov. E. had declined denomination ;
the Wings Of that body were constrained to look
elsewhere for a candidate and no where could they
have found man more competent to fill the Chief
Executive Office, or eHinsntly fitted to lead the
Wings OF this State to certain victory than ROGER
:. BALDWIN. Contrast him with his opponent
place the whole Wing Ticket side by side with that
of the Locofoeos, and let any honest man ask his
own heart which Of the two will best administer
the affairs Of this State Government and according
ly let his vote be given.
Mr.. Baldwin is an honest honorable and high
minded lawyer of the city Of New-Haven, who has
been often before the public in his professional capa
city, and though never seeker for office, has been
long and favorably known throughout the State for
his emineRce in his profession, his purity of life
and the immaculate spoeSsness of his character
And who, torsooth, is Chauncey F. Cleveland? A
man who had been scarcely heard of beyond the
precincts Of Hampton, until he was nominated by
the Locoocos for the highest office in the State
q man who has done much by his vain, weak and
foolish acts of official power to belttle and degrade
the Office he unworthily fills-a man who has vio-
lated the federal compact that binds these States to-
gether, and refused, lawful requisition TO sur
render notorious criminal to the authorities Of
sister State, because that criminal was the arch trai
| tor, Thomas Wilson Dorr, and a Locofoco in full
communion with the party In connection with this
subject we might advert to the sentiments advanced
by his Excellency on that occasion sentiments,
| which, If carried out, would aim the most deadly
stroke at dearest domestic institutions and dis
solve at blow, the strongest ties that bind these
States in one.
To which of these men shalt the Freenaeu OF Con.
nectcut give their support7 The ballot box on the
first Monday of April next will answer and its voice
will proclaim in a manner too plain to be misunder-
stood, that Chauncey F. Cleveland can again retire
to the practice Of the law (which by the way he has
never left,) and with his SNUG and dapper partner,
James A. Hovey. his private secretary, ~ ruminate
upon the instability of Locofoco Office holders seat.
% Com. Mackensie has been fully acquitted and
justified from all blame in proceeding so far as he
did in taking the lives of the three mutineers on

Inquiry, which has been for many days pending on
board the ship North Carolina in the New York har.
