New HAVEN, ToNTINE HOTEL,
Thursday, March Is )
Never was there an electioneering campaign
contested with more energy than the present ia
this state and the result will, therefore, be relief
to all parties The wings rallying all their scat
| tered forces, and " absentees" from almost every
northern state in the Union, are vending their
way homewards, in time forsMonday next, when
foe meets foe, with paper, not with shot. Both
parties are sanguine of success and both are as WELL
| If not better !organzed than in the campaign Of
| 1870 Electioneerng tourists are met in almost
every town, and meetings are held somewhere
| every night, at which all sorts Of enthusiasm Is
created by almost every expedient. Ex-Alderman
Davies, of the Fifteenth Ward, of your city. is ira
yelling the state in aid OF the wing cause, together
with Ward Justice Joseph Hoxie, Esq, Mr. Thay-
err, and Mr. Editor Horace Greeley, of the Fourier
| Division The democrats have had L. b. Shep
herd, Esq and others, and want John McKeon,
| John w. Edmonds, James T. Brady, Col Joseph
Hart. fat and jolly Jem Thompson, and any body
and every body else who can add fuel TO the fiame
and heap up the excitement till it tumbles over to
crush all wing hopes and Clay prospects, n
The wing presses and wing orators make pro-
tectlve tariff the burden of their song, and charge
their opponents with radical free trade, principles,
which they to ey sd

which bear the political endorsement OF the "Ple-
beian Office" your city. The democrats refuse
TO endorse the ultra principles OF the "Tracts" but
meet the question by advocacy of tariff for reve-
nue alone and on that ground take issue. The in
fuence thus exercised over manufacturers, and by
them over their workmen, will add much to the
wing vote; and should the democrats be defeated,
hey may attribute their loss more to the circula
ton of "Plebeian Tracts than to any other
cause.
Yale College, in this city, forms vast resource
Of the State. The Selectmen of the town admit
the of the students of lawful age to be enter
ed as votes if they feel disposed to remain in this
town on the day OF election; but should three OF
four extra votes be desired, in a doubtful town,
where the parents OF students reside, they will bt
found at the Homestead" on Monday next, in aid
of the "great wing cause" and there allowed to
vote. .
This contest is viewed by the wings as settling
the complexion of this State for the pres dential
campaign, while the democrats, with their usual
nonChalance, consider the result important, but
say, eff we lose the State, 1t doesn't affect liz
much, as Connecticut was never set down by us,
| or any body else, as sure for Van Buren," The,
wings, with the Courier Of your city, have opened
in the South and West, calculated to mai erialy de-

caoling and neutraZlng the abolition vote oil this
State, avow Incorporating hostility to such d
measure, now and hereafter. To secure the manu-
facurers, they avow decided favor to ga protec-

interests Should success follow their efforts, with

effect the prospects of Henry Clay in the Southern
and Western States? Your intelligent readers can
