from whatever quarter il may. They DO exist.
and they lciH make the stand They will not only
make successful stand in defence Of their
property but they will beat back their ene-
mics, and teach their Lindenwald ally that
the eternal preservation Of the Constitution
ia its integrity is Of far more importance TO
them, than a brief term of Executive rule
can be TO him.
We will close this article by appendins par
agraph on the subject from Mr.. Calhoun's re-
cent Letter
"Much loss, still, give my support to any can
didate, who shall give his aid or countenance TO the
agitation OF abolition in Congress slss,chere or
whose prominent and influential friends and supper
fers shall. ! doubt the sincerity of any who de-
clares he Is no abolitionist, while at the time
he aids and countenanccs the agitation of the ques
ton, be bis prctext what it may. II have right
to sares haze the right hold them in peace and
quiet. Ii the Constitution guarantees the one it qua
rantees the other and ii it forblds the one from be-
ing attacked, equally forbids the other. Indeed
the one stands to the other as means to an end aud
is SO ayowed by the abotionsts and on the plapesi
principles of morals If the end be prohibited, the
means OF eftecting it also are. OF the two, l regard
the deluded fanatic far less guilty and dangerous than
he nho for political party purposes, aids counte-
n0ce5 HIM in chaf he knotrs intended to do that trheh

Daily appeals are made to by the friends Of Gov.
Cleveland to come up 70 the work and assist to
cure his election, on the ground that We claim to be
Democrats, and our dislike for Mr. Van buren, should
not induce Us to allow the Clay wings to carry the
State. This should have been thought Of at the State
Convention at Middetown which nominated the
ticket which we are now called upon to support
But that Convention could make no allowance for
Van Burens unpoPularity in this State, but must
needs pass resolutions euogizing him. and instruct
ing their Baltimore delegates to vote for him, and
him alone. Under these circumstances, il is not the
duty Of the Tyler men, TO assist in securing Van
Buren, victory for the poor privilege Of being kicked
and cuded about e,lsr election. Your advice is
rect-that should g have nothing to do with VIC
tory or defeat" The Democratic party in Connec-
ticut will never see prosperous days again, till Van
Buren, and his insolent Regency here, have passed
away, and given place to better and more honest
men"

CONNECTICUT.

Ertract from a letter dated, New UaUen,
Conn, March 10, 1874:
{" was glad to see your remarks in the Daily
Nladisonisn of the 10th inst, touching our State
Election and the duty of the friends of Mr. Tyler
They owe il to themselves TO staId aloof from both
parties in this contest. We have only TO look over
the files Of the Hartford Times and some other Van
Buren, papers, about the time Of the two last cleo
tons for State officers, and compare the soft words
which they used towards the Tyler men, when their
votes iudispensabe-with the naughty, insolent
language employed after those votes were obtained
in order to know what treatment to expect for our
selves and our President after had been ussd on
this occasion.

We observe, by the New Brunswick Times,
the proceedings of the first step in the choice of
members TO the CONSTITUTION Convention to
a Constitution for the State of New jersey
We are glad to see that the two political par
ties are proceeding to the accomplishment of
this important object with entire harmony and
with proper regard to the best results, they
are selecting their strongest and best men for
the Convention, as the example of old Middle
sex shows, in her choice of Moses Jacques,
James G.. Zabrskie, James Parker, and Joseph
+. Randolph.
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1844-03-15

Already we see notices of the bold and de-
termlned movement of the friends of Mr. Ty-
Ter, IN hundreds of papers coming from every
section of the Union. We extract the follow
ing from the Washington Correspondence of The
Boston Courier:
The friends of the Administration have con-
menced an organization in this city, TO be followed
by movements and action in every part of the coun-
try. They are determined to bring forward Mr.. Ty-
ler in spite of opposition from friend foe prepared
to receive blows from Whigs or Democrats acting
the defensive, and sustaining the author Of the
toes, through good and through evil report. Though
late they are resoute and bold, and be to that
champion who proves recresn knight in this hour of
darkness and peril.

REP BLICANS, BE ON YOUR GUARD!

No man should be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party who cannot be
elected. This is but an act of justice to John
Tyler The party, after everything which the
sold Bank-killer" has done to protect the Con-
stituion from Federal dissertation, has no right
indirectly TO aid in the election of MIR. Clay,
his bitter personal and political enemy. 1t is
not justice. We ask the country if it is justice,
exact justice? We ask for no liberality, no
generosity-we say it is not Justice. He is
traitor to his country, who, fearing lest his per-
sonal ends may not be secured by the election
of another man, prefers Van Buren's nomina-
ton, even if he be defeated.
We perceive that the Democratic papers all
over the country are raising shout over an
election in New Orleans and another in Cleave-
land, Ohio, which have gone for the Republi-
can ticket. Neither the country at large, nor
the People OF the party, must be deceived by
these false lights. We hold il to be our duty
TO expose error if it may lead to DEFEAT Mr.. Clay
mast not be elected the ne.rt President if he can
be defeated by the nomination of suitable can
didate. Every Tyler man in New Orleans the
Republican" the Tyler paper of that city, and
every member Of the Tyler Association, voted
for Mr.. Slidell, the Democratic candidate
These men cannot all be persuaded to vote for
MIR. Van Buren,. Besides, there were 800 new
votes received the polls, and made for this
especial election. With all this aid Mr.. Slidell
is elected by 4l5majority. The last canvass of
the city showed, without the 800 new votes
polled, Wing majority of so. The result
proves an actual loss of strength 1t is folly
to hide the truth when error conducts to defeat.
Al Cleaveland, in Ohio the Tyler men elected
the ticket We challenge denial Of The
fact.
We should not have made these remarks bu,
for the progress of the late election in New
York. The PIebeian, generally so loud in pro-
claiming victory, is dead silent-it has not one
poor word Of hope or triumph. We subjoin the
resur1o far as ascertained. AS the State went
In '39, under precisely the same auspices, it is
going now
