PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE-A CRISIS

APPROACHING.
The people of New England are slumber-
ing on the verge Of ruin. While untiring
efforts are made by the votarieS of Free
TRADE 10 carry their perHicious theories in
to efect-the farmers, the mechanics, the
operatives of the North, are reposing in fan
-cied security, unconscious of the danger
which surrounds them. 1t is not from Free
Trade men of the South that they are in
danger. The enemies of Protection are in
our midst. They are the leaders Of the Loo"
F0cO party. Any one who will take I e
trouble to examine their papers, canD'si III
terrain doubt of this. The next elH -tion
in this state, if it terminate in tEei, layOr,
will be triumph of Free Trade. Is ii pos
slble that the people of Connecticut can re-
gard this fact with Indifference Can they
doubt its truth We are aware that many
individuals of the Loco Foco party are in
favor of Protection and they perhaps do
not believe that the leaaers are against it,
But we assure the friends of protection. thai,
they have nothing 10 hope from that quar-
ter. We wish it were otherwise, and we
should most sincerely rejoice, could this
subject be freed of every party aspect
Weilwou;d ii be Tor the North. if her interests
ia this respect, could be supported by al,
her sons irrespective of party. But this
would MOI conport with the objects OF MIR.
Van Burep. The North therefore, must be
sacrificed. Mr.. Calhoun.as every one knows,
is the great champion of Free Trade, and it
will not do for Mr.. Van Buren, TO fall behind
him in fidelity to the South.
What then shall be done by the people of
Connecticut! An effort is to be made to re-
turn to the next Congress majority of Free
Trade Van Burenites. The intention to re-
peal the existing tariff is openly avowed.--
How important then that Connecticut should
be represented by men who will support
her interest! Do the people consider right
ly the momentous interests that are at stake
Are they awake to the importance of tine
coming election?
Free Trade and specie currency! Such
are the means by which our suffering coun.
try is to be sunk still lower in distress and
ruin. Yet the business men of New England
are listless and inert! Crushed by the
weight of their sufferings, disheartened by
the disappoi ntment of their hopes, many OF
them seem disposed to yield all, and submit
aupinely to whatever may be in reserve
But this feeling is not universal. There are
still thousands in this state, who are tho.
roughly convinced that unless successful
effort shall soon be made, all is lost. The
eyes of the people are opening, and truth is
reassuming her sway.-Hart. Courant.
