TIE, CONNECTICUT ELECTION
CATALOGUE OF HORRORS!


IL was, We believe, a most distinguished De-
/. moe al of the South who remarked, immediate
ly after the miserable defeat of Mr. Van Buren,,
that the lent and disgusting extra Globes, or
tracts, issued at Washington in lS4o, injured
the Republican party more than all the wing
;ournals in the Union combined. That the Oh
servation was quite true, we do not entertain a
doubt.
II such was the effect Of the labors OF the
hungry and mercenary Underwriters IN lS4o, we
have every reason to anticipate similar result
in 1874 for the same means, nay, the same
writer's, are at this moment similarly employed.
We have before US .'Tracl No d." just issued
in this city, entitled "PROVIDENTIAL
DISPENSATIONS," from the pen, we learn,
of Amos Kendall. We understand that $4,000
of them are to be distributed in Connecticut
The pamphlet is evidently designed to ope-
rate on the minds Of the Abolition fana-
Tics, and superstitious individuals OF weak un-
derstandings. We append the entire tract,
with the exception Of few paragraphs too hor-
rible for the human eye. II was designed for
..ceneral circulation" and we violate no rule in
giving il the benefit of our columns. In our CO.
lumns il will have 800 additional readers in
Connecticut, the State for which it was particu-
larry intended.

Ii has been observed, with deep regret, that
one or two Of the journals ia Connecticut, hiih-
erio regarded as the fearless and deyo'ed cham
pions Of the cause they proiessed TO advocate,
have recently coalsined articles calling upon
our friends to rally in support Of the political
enemies OF the President !, is hoped that those
journals, after mature reflection. will review
their course, and retrace their steps. IL is al
ways honorable TO repair an injury.
If the friends of the Administration were to
go, as party. for the ticket nominated by the
Stale Convention, which appointed Van Buren,
delegates 70 the Baltimore Convention, would
not all the benefits which might result from a
victory thus obtained. be monopolzed by Mr..
Vau Buren2 Would not the delegates, thus
encouraged most certainly contribute 10 nomi-
nate Mr.. Van Buren-and Mr.. Van Buren, for
its candidate, would not the Democracy be
doomed, ia his neri (certain) defeat, 10 hope
less prostrdtion2
IL is said that the approaching election in
Connecticut is looked to by the whole Union as
decisive Of Mr.. Van Buren's fate in the Balti-
more Convention. But il must be equally true
that the friends of this Adm istralion-which
has been so rabdly assailed in all Of Mr.. Van
Buren's organs-cannot be required 10 take any
very special interest in MIR. Van Buren's sue
cess. Mr. Van Buren, and his friends have re-
peatedy insulted and assaulted Mr.. Tyler and
his friends; and therefore we do not see how il
can be required ofthe latter to aid the former.
Yet Mr. Van Buren, has an undoubted right to
do his every best' 10 secure Connecticut, and
then the nomination. No one. it is presumed,
will attempt to persuade Van Buren, men that it
is wrong to support MIR. Van Buren-but would
il not be decidedly wrong TO urge Tyler men 10
vote for him?
Is it not considered as well-estabshed fact,
which is applicable to he approaching elections
in Connecticut. as well as TO all other elections
under similar circumstances, whether local or
Preside nlial, that by uniting with The Van Blu
rem men the Republican friends OF the Presr
dent run every risk of disaster, without any pos,
sbility of reaping advantage? When the
Van Buren, men gain The day with "Tyler
help" they never acknowledge it afterwards,
but continue their assaults on the Adminislra-
ton whereas if they are defeated, the " hgs
immediately raise The shout that The Admins
tration is condemned by the People Should
We not solemnly protes, against such one-sided
trials of the merits of President Tylcr's Admi-
nis,ratiou We seek fair trial before the
American People, with Mr.. Tyler at our head
but we can never base Mr.. Tyler's claims 10
the appreciation of majority of the People up
on the chance of Mr.. Van Buren's success
Hence il is earnestly desired that the friends Of
the Administration will nowhere connect the
merits Of Mr.. Tyler with The dement's Of MIR.

GThe following extract from letter IN The
New York Herald, written at Boston, and CIV
ing an account of the celebration OF the ann
yersary OF The birth day of General Jackson, Is
worthy of particular attention. IL appears that
the Van Buren, leaders had determined that the
celebration should be Ta,i Buren, affair, and
when they attempted to make their demonslra-
ton, il was an utter iailure--but few dozen
attending. On the other hand, the Democracy,
almost en- masse, rallied 10 the meeting which
is alluded to by the Herald's correspondent
The most remarkable feature in this affair, how
ever to my mind, is the fact that this events in
truth the grand opening of the Tyler campaign in
this quarter
You may rely on II, that from the seventy seventh
birth day of the renowned and justly honored Jack
son-the existing administration will date the COM
mencement of the grand onslaught which is deter
mined by its friends in this region shall be carried in
to the enemy's camp. I he occasion to which have
briefly REFERRED gave rise TO variety OF patriotic
speeches, sentiments, Sc, the burden Of which,
seemed to me, inclined most directly towards Tyler
ism But the published accounts will give you the
best idea of the matter.

THE SOUTH.

The Richmond Enquirer, and all The Van
Buren, papers in Virginia are still silent on the
subject of Abolition. Not a word is said in op
position to the resolutions adopted in the New
York Legislature. II Virginia, If The South, shall
be too pusillanimous to contend for her rights, it
cannot be expected that other sections Of the
Union will interfere. As soon as a submissive
and craven spirit is manifested by the South, no
one will symparhize with her, and the furious
fanatics will have full sway.
