FAIRFIELD COUNTY.-The intellisenee rece
we'd from this old republican county is in the highest
degree cheering. The Democratic Wings of that
part of the State are thoroughly aroused and will
give us on the LIST Monday in April the maiorities of
$50. Mr. Osborne is desevedly favorite in Fair
field county. In 1889 he was first nominated by the
Conservatives; the Wings happily concurred and
thus secured his valuable services to the cause of
sound principle and correct government The same
parties will now rally to his support in that county
Nothing is wanting crown our efforts with success
but that the Wings of Litchiield county should come
up to the mark and maniully do their duty. Let US
show the noble minded Wings of Fairfield county
that we are worthy of being associated with then,
IN exer'lons to send into our national councils man
who viii do honor to the character ofNew.England.

Hon. THOMAS B. OSBORNE.

The name of this gentleman a candidate for a
seat in the next Congress ought to be- and we doubt
not is particularly acceptable to the Wings OF Litch-
field county. 1t is well known that he has been a
member OF the two last Congresses the Represen-
tative Of the republican county of Fairfield. He has
been fortunate in giving entire satisfaction to the in
tegent and patriotic citizens of that county. No
one could be more faithful than he has been to his
constituents. He is gentleman of sound under
standing, unspotted integrity, liberal views, unobtru
sve and gentle manners, just and patriotic intentions
highly cultivated mind, and extremely well mfor-
med on all the important subjects likely to be sub
mitted for the action Of the next Congress- If to
these qualifications be added experience and fan1i-
iarity with national legislation, it is certain that his
services will be invaluable to the People of the 4h
Congressional District Can it be possible that the
republican electors of this county will reject such
man for Doctor Samuel Simons

Imminent Danger of the admission of

tuotion Of the SlaUe POu0er an the u. :.
Nothing could be more fatal to this ounirv than
the event above indicated and yet the people do not
seem to be awake to the danger of its occurrence
within short space Of time, We know that the
sleepess sentinel of liberty, JOHN Quincy AcAMs, is
seriously apprehensive that an attempt will be made
carry this UBIQUITOUS SCHEME through the next
Congress- and if those who are engaged in the third
party movement in Connecticut, are not their
guard they will contribute essentially to the
piishmen of the designs of the South and to the over
throw of every hope of universal liberty for centuries
to come If Texas is admitted, by whom VIII it be
done? By the united votes of the South and North
ern DOUGH FACES and yet there are those who, by
third party organizations doing much to fill both
branches of Congress with men, who, as champions
of northern rights and northern interests cannot be
trusted fer moment. We earnestly enreat every
sincere, honest aboltonist (of whom there many
in this county, consider well the consequence of
separation from their northern Wing brethren, all of
whom will resist to the uttertnost the admission of
Texas into the Union. Has not this separation already
elected William Allen of Ohio, and John NJ. Niles of
Connecticut, to the United States Senate? Will not
these go for the admission OF Texas? When did they
ever fail to sacrifice the North and the cause of
emancipation ? Recollect that in one short year
are to elect successor to Judge Huntington, and the
Liberty men can have another Niles or Perry Smith
if they phase. Thomas B. Osborne will 60 against
the admission of Texas into the Unon-he will go for
the right of petition as he ever has done, and he will
go for the abolition Of the infamous slave trade in the
District of Columbia as he did during the last session
of Congress. What will Doctor Smons do on these
subjects? Remember that three or four Just such
men as The Doctor betrayed the North, and ca led
the Missouri question.

1t is manifest that the Loco Focos cannot be trust

Perry Smith, who for six long years has misrepre-
scented and disgraced the State, and who was found
on every occasion during the Tariff discussion otthe
late Congress united with Calhoun, Benton and Tap
pan in opposition to the highest and best interests OF
New.England. He voted with those Senators agains
duty on Iron, such as was indispensable to the sal
walton of that branch OF business in Litchfeld ceun-
ty and finally with reskIessness !ncomprehenslbie
he voted against the Tariff itself. What difference
is there between Samuel Simons and Perry Smith!
Are they not politicians cast in the same mould

Doctor Simons may say on the eve of an election to

MR.. OSBORNE AND THE TARIFF.

We know the opinions of this gentleman on this
all-imporant subject by his recorded uotes lie was
one of those who during the second session of the
late Congress took early and decided ground in fa-
Of passing Tariff at all events-such as should
at one and the same time furnish the government
adequate revenue, and extend encouragement and
protection to all branches of national industry Mr..
o. was and is a friend of distribution of the
avals of the public lands among the states as mea
sure alike of policy and Justice; but when he found
that through the perversy of President Tyler both
a tariff and distribution were unattainable, he
promptly sacrificed the latter (as the least impertanO
to the former. He believed that tariff would con-
tribute to relieve the people, and therefore he resotv-
ed to have tariff ut any and every hazard. No one
but those who participated in the trying SCIENCES of
that session can form any adequate idea how much
Mr. o. and those who thought with him did, endur-
ed and suffered to attain object Of such paramount
Importance. vast majority of the Locofocos were
hostile to Tarlt-also one half of the Guard, and
very many good wings who could not as they felt
surrender the lands to Executive dictaton and the
caprices of "Captain Tyler" Thanks to the firm
ness and perseverance of Mr. Osborne and his assoc

a most excellent Tariff, which, if it can remain un-
