GREssIoNAL DISTRICT.
Fell0,c CiiisenS:-You are again cal
led upon to elect suitable person to re-
present You in our National Congress.
but for the first time since you have all
been included in one district.
II is your province, and will no doubt
be your pleasure, to elect Representa-
live well calculated to reflect honor upon
his constituents -one in whose hands
you could enlrust your cherished rights,
and the liberties Of your counlry--one
whose principles have withstood the
i"uchstone of temptation, and of trial, aud
whose devotion to his country is as strong
as the springs Of life and no less endur-
ing, and as unchanging and imnuable as
the promises Of the Great Eternal.
You have now arrayed before you two
candidates fer this high station, Albert
Consiable Esq. of Cecil, and Docl, Jacob
A. Preston of Hartford, county; which of
of these men will you choose2-and
which, think you, is most worthy of
your SUPPORT
fyou elect Mr.. Constable, will he act
in such manner as to reflect hon or upon
his District and his State? II so, one thing
is certain. The people will be more ben
Gifted in that respect than the incumbent
himself; for this Champion Of Democra
cy, has recently been among Hs in tour
through the district, and in political con-
lr"versy in a public town, used this de-
clara'lon, DAMN Tie o&ce, ii wiN con-
fer ao honor apon me, and I tcould not
haze accepted lie nomination, but no one
else wouid serue
Now, Fellow Citizens! shall it ever be
said. that we have elected delegate to an
Amer can Congress, who is so far elevat-
ed above it, that he looks down upon the
exalted station with contempt
What! will you yield one among the
highest offices in the gift of the people,
to man that views with disdain, your
efforts to promote him, and whose aspir-
atoms are so far removed from the station
you design for him, that he is exceeding
ly doubtful whether its acceptance will
not be an insult to his dignity.
Recolleci too, Fellow Citizens, that
this Champion OF Democracy. has never
been firm in his principles. Well do you
remember, that in 1882. he was one of
our warmesl wings ard even served as an
elector for the immortal Hero of the
Western world. Yes! and during the
session of our Legislature in 1913, who
was found at our seat of government, i'll
lerceding with the wings and soldering
their support to place him in the United
States Srnale2 Mr.. Constable. himself;
and this TACT can be suhstanra,ed by men
OF The highest respe clahiii,y, both in the
Senate, and in the House.
And yet, 'orsoolh Fellow Citizens, this
gentleman appears before you, with prin-
elples as firm as the pillars of the Earth
By these remarks we mean no dispar-
agement ol his qualitIcalions;--lha, he has
tact and talent. no man can deny, and so
had Ben dict Arnold. We mean only to
say that he is certainly less worth, of sup
port than the opposite candidate, DR. PREs-
TON of Hartford, a man of well known and
DIS Observation-Disclosures sterling principles,
and well tried integrity; man too, who
would consider himself highly honored
by the reception of this high Office, and
who by his unhnching devotion to the
interests and welfare of his constituents
and his country, would ever prove an or
nament TO our Nation, and continue to be
viewed as he now is, distinguished son
of ali Old and Honored State.
Recollect the 18th of February is ap.
preaching. and that day must decide which
OF these gentlemen will represent you
Arise then in the majesty of your strength,
and grid on your armor, for the will of
the people is the paramount La,c, and their
fiat is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT your Rights as
ireemen, and evnce your PATRIOTISM as
ciIIzens of this infant Republic, which now
stands so pre- emlnenlIy high. Flock to
the standard in one mighty phalanx, and
victory and Preston will be ours
