 DEAR Sra -The time has arrived for every demo. crat to buckle on his armor in defence of republican principles. and the welfare ofthe republic itsef now threatened by the fedora! party The State Central Committee, therefore feel it their duty to address the committees in each town in the state, on the mpor tance of the approaching eection and he necessity for immediate and energet ic action.
 party he sse r PoK AN6 and it depends on you and us to say whether it shall be done. We have an excellent ticket-our cause is just-we are perfectly united as party-and it. must not be said that the Connecticut democracy altered tion! Le. US then set about it IMMEDIATELY.
 We recommend in each town the formation of of correctpoi,ical information and sound democratic principles in which it should be object to enroll as many democrats as possible, whose duty should be- 70 see that the rame ofevery democratic voteri placed upon the reestry list before the presidential election in November and also to see that every democrat deposi,es his electoral ballot for the demo- cratic candidates, on that occasion. Great care shoud also be taken that the of pipe-laying whig who is not voter in your town, gets upon the hst Attempts of this kind will undoubtedly be made, where the federalists lave the board They wifi, most likely, manage to defraud us some, but on no account must it be suffered in democratic towns The fcdera!iss will make great exertons to carry as many towns as possible at the town elections in Oc- tober, for the purpose of gaining the control of the ballot boxes, at ihe presidential electoHs but they must not he allowed to gain the ascendancy in sin gle democratic town In fact, they arc already at work, to bring about the result they so ardeny de. sire; but we trust the importance of defeating their object is too apparent 10 need any further caution l from us.
 Make thorough enumeration of all the democra tic voters n your town and see that not 1nof them is left at home, either at the town or presidential election
 Sec that you have plenty of democratic papcrs for circulation among the voters, and not allow the fed eralsts to poison honest minds with their one.sided and unprincipled statements.
 E,ndeavor to persuade our friends in your town to meet often for consultation and by this system o so cal intercourse, you will be enabled to arouse spir it of enthusiasm in the good cause, that will aid us materially tn our progress 10 victory Early in the month of September next Sir Mass Conventions will be held in the sir old tial Electors Each town may send as many dele gates it chooses indeed. tits desirable tkat as many should Gtend os possible. To induce full at- of the most prominent speakers in the State. to visit each Convention, and we have reason to believe that distinguished gentlemen from other states will Do in attendance. We suggest, therefore the proprety of an immediate arrangement in your town, tor at tending the Convention in your district, in as grea, numbers as possible, with embiems and banners, bearing suitable inscriptions and with music if con venient. We intend that these Conventions shnl equal m numbers and bold enthusiasm any ever he Id in this State ;and is only necessary that the demo- crats in each go immediately to aDork, to answer the exceptions of friends. These Conventions ate all to be held during the first two weeks in Septem- Der; notice of which you will find in the democrat ic papers .
 We honestly believe that these arrangements are fully carried out. the state will be politically redeem ed and relying on your known zeal in the cause, confidently expect that the democracy of your town will not be "second best' in point of numbers and enthusiasm at the convention.
