For some time past, the friends of the administra-
ton In this State, have calculated to nominate a
State ticket composed strictly OF the friends oil the
administration and other Democrats, opposed to the
nomination Of MIR. Van Buren, for President in 1914
But upon farther reflection, are convinced at this
particular crisis 1t would be mprnden', ana IN .he
result lasting injury to the pure Democracy of the
State, TO make such nomination. We are, how
ever perfectly aware, that the course pursued by
several of the radical leaders of the Democratic par
IT, have done much to iDure the friends OF President
TYLER, and other ant-Van Buren, men, in the Demo
cratic ranks by advising Senator Benton 10y letter.
TO reject Tyler and other anti-Van Buren, men,
that should be offered to the u s. Senate, for coDr-
nation, SC. Yet, as Democratic principles are our
PRINCIPLES and Democrats our associates and friends,
As there will be before the reemen but two tickets
for State officers, for the ensuing year, ICE deem it
our d,liy to say, that the principles and measures
generally, of the party, icho nominated The ticket
headed icih the name Of our present Eree"tire,
are far more consondni 10Th our feelings Than
those sustained by the Wing party. 1t is, there
fore to be distinctly understood, that in the
TYLER party aid in the election OF the Democratic
ticket, already nomnated-that the Presidential
question is not to be considered as in the least de-
gree involved in the contest between the parties
And that should the Democratic ticket be successful
that il is not to be considered or heraded as Van
Buren, victory in Connecticut, but as a Democratic
victory purely and solely, and entirely disconnected
with the Presidential nomination or election.
Measures are being taken to ascertain the views
and wishes of conservative friends IN different
sections Of the State as to the course proper for
them to pursue in the coming elect Union and
harmony among the real friends OF Republican prn-
ciples were never more important than IN the pre-
sent crisis aud cannot doubt that, unawed by the
dictation Of any regency IN The Democratic party,
and uninfluenced BY the humbuggery of the Wings,
81. no
morally discharge their duty at the polls. In the mean
time let them examine closely and calmly passing
events and br prepared TO act in concert, and with
energy and effect.
We would respectfully suggest the following
facts for the consideration OF our friends in Con
necticut. II is fact, that in almost every in
stance where the friends of the Administration
have contributed to elect this or that ticket
in the different States-provlded 1t was not an
avowed Tyler licket-after the election, those
ell cted, without the least hesitation, have taken
an early occasion to "repel Tyler help."-
Before the election they sought it, making
promises and pledges, which they did not IN
tend to fulfil. 1t is fact, that when the
friends of the Administration happen TO support
a ticket which is defeated, the cause OF the Ad-
ministration shares all the odium Of defeat, but
never the credit Of victory. We think IT is an
indisputdble fact, that if the friends of Mr.. Ty-
Ter proclaim that, having no candidates of Their
own in the field, they will have nothing to do
with victory or defeAt-neither odium nor blame
can attach 10 them, be the result what 1t may.
But if our friends should no1 take an active
part in behalf of ticket, and that ticket should
be defeated, the consequence will be that the
President and his Administration will be involved
in the condemnation passed by the People Oh
those who are not friendly to the President
The Globe, which is Mr.. Van Buren's endorsed
organ, has 'repelled Tyler helps" and we do
not see how the friends Of Mr.. Tyler, undet
such circumstances, can, with honor help those
who spurn them. As Democrats, they are moi
bound to do so and we, for one, protest against
running any risk in the coming State elections
