OF the States yet to be heard from Mr.. Clay may

viable position than do the Wings of Connecticut.
We have the high satisfaction in the first place Of
having last spring redeemed our patriotic State
from the thraldom of locofocoism, and in the next
place Of giving decided majority over all factions
and shreds Of faction in favor of Henry Clay and
those glorious principles to which his life has been
consecrated, the ascendancy Of which in our gov.
ernmept is indispensable to the welfare of the A.
mcrican People. ....
Whatever therefore fraud, fanaticism and folly
may have effected in other States in the orgsniza
ton of new administration upon the basis of free
trade and save.holding tyranny and domination,
we are suiltless Of the consequences, however dire
they may be. which shall result to the country.
We have moreover the consciousness Of having
stood most nobly by our Wing brethren m other
parts 0fahe Union, and shown to them that We are
not antainsfnl Of the obligations we are under 10
the South and West for conccding TO Us that heal.
ing and beneficent measurc-the Tariff Of ls42.
But the Wings should by no means take despon.
ding view Of tile ease. for though we have not done
all for the country which we hored to do, yet we
have accomplished much. One OF the fruits of our
efforts is an undoubted majority in the Senate of
the United States for the Goth Congress, which
must block for three years to come the destructive
purpose Of Polk, Calhoun, and the nulifers to re.
peal the existing Tariff. Besides we can without
difhcaaty throw into the House Of Representatives
wings enOagh, in addition to few loco members
who will support the Tariff to constitute MAORI
ty, and thus accomplish the same end in another
form. "Wc can make assurance doubly sure, and
take bond Of fate" In this point of view the
maintenance Ct Wing aseendancy in Connecticut
becomes vastly impoRtaat. Wings! we have
good cause and the most votes! Why should we
not do it: Let elect to the next Congress four
good democratic Wings, who will stand by the
rights of Old Connecticut and the prosperity of the
whole Union. Let US continue our organization
and our eforts select oar candidates for Congress
early, and present them to tho People, and discuss
every whore the principles and the policy Of tho
existing Tariff, and the importance Of maintaining
it, and You may'depead upon it there will come up
Response from the ballot box which will cheer
evesy pAFiots heart.
