New-York daily tribune., 1844-11-29
A Voice from Counecticut.

A gentleman III this City has put IN our hands
the following extracts frorA letter written by an
intelligent and practical Farmer ia Connecticut :
"In regard to the resui. Of the Presidential
Election, tie people in this section Of lhe coun-
Try fcsl tae bos vary sensibiy, and are very dis
consulate: cur minds are filed with gicom sud
dark forebodinss for the future. Even the ve.y
men who have been instrumental in effect:ng the
resu. which we SO much deplore, are very far from
being satisfied: many of them would prefer
Henry Clay and his measures to Mr.. Polk and
Folks doctrines. Butparty drill has carried them
in direction adverse to their better jud gnent
and feelings. Whsn it was ascertsinec that our
own State had pronounced her voice 50 emphati-
cally against the infamy of eecang Polk and
Dallas, we were filed with JOY and g!adness, and
thought it was but the beginning 81 good things
to come. We subsequently received intelligence
that the Empire State" had gone for Clay; and
then we considered The question settled, But
our Joy was soon turned into mourning by the
unwelcome news that reached Us by later mails.
The means used by the friends Of Mr.. Polk to
secure his election, cannot, think, be source
of very pleasing reflection to him. He has been
elected, as no one pretends to deny, by foreign
votes, and foreigN influence, and the most bare
faced frauds The 1bolitionists, even in the
State Of n. York, Notwithstanding the votes Of
thousands of aliens could have defeated the
Texas candidate, and elected that able, honest
and fearless champion of equal rights, HENRY
CLAY: a man who is the true friend of all the
great interests of this country, and who has done
more for these United States than any other man
living But the pretended friends of the Slave
saw fl. do otherwise: they chose to have Texas
annexed to this country, that Slavery might be
perpeiuated Some Of the Liberty Party" in
this section of the State do no,p see their error
a leading member OF that party who voted the
Birney ticket, and with whom | am well &C.
quainted, has openly declared that he never will
again vote with the "Liberty Party" There
are ohcrs who have come to the same conclu-
sion, and are really sorry that Mr.. Clay has been
defeated.
The SUCCESS of the Anti Protection candidate
has already affected the price of WOOL; and far
mers in my immediate vicinity who voted the
Polk ticket, having now on hand one thousand
pounds of wool of their own sheariog, will, l
think, feel keenly the effects of Polksm! 1t is
common remark that the Loco Focos will not
see until they are made to feel. Let Mr.. Polk
and bis party carry out their principles and their
measures, and the men who have voted for the
run and disgrace Of their country will be obliged
to think, to see, and TO feel that they have de.
suoyed themselves in the heat Of party zeal.
Let other States vote as they may, Massachu-
sets and Connecticut will stand shoulder to
shoulder in defending their interests and their in
stitutions. Vermont and Rhode Island will aid
their stanch neighbors in bearing aicft the flag ol
Protection, OF LIBERTY AND Union, NOW AND
FOR EVER. ONE AND ihsEPARGBLE." Co6necti-
cut is Wing now, and will be Wing neat Spring
mark that! Each Congressional District is
now Wing, and we intend they shall remain 80
f1r years TO come.
