"G1vING ITUPg'I .ee.z7e.,':
The Hartford Times andb New Haven
Register are beginning to pluch up courage,
and talk as if their party really intended 10
contest the Spring Election with, some show
ofzeal. We are heartily glad 10 jjsee, signs
of approaching animation in, the almost
lifeless carcase of ,iocoGocdismJ tThefeFis
no victory in kicking dead Hon." or ID
triumphing over our ihanimate foe. Let Us
have, gentlemen, some indiea.ionsof life and
energy in your opposition to the i"powefs
that be-" in this State, and We win promise
you that the Wings win be :" on hand"' in
numbers sufficient for any emergeney.ioL
The organs of "the democracy" know too
well that if the Wings present an undivided
front at the polls, their case lisa Jhopeless
one; and accordingly the lsaders Of the par
ty have been for some time actively but for
the most part secretly at work with View
to create discorlin the Wing ranks. They
are not usually over scrupulnusb abouteths
means which they use TO attain tier ENDS,
and are too often ready to make all requisite
sacrifices of principle and conscience,i in or
der to gain proselytes. = The conduct Of ma
ny of these men III relation to the "a License
Law" passed by the las. Legislature, is too
hypocritica1 and barc-faced TO require mo-
ment's hesitation Dis to what name should be
given to their conduct ana professions:
Previous to and during the sitting -iof the
Legislature, they were active both,ih and out
of that body, In endeayorihg to obtain the
passage Of this iaw-all The tiime pleading
that athe good Of the temperance seausess,ses

But, il we mistake not this, branch of the
wire-pallsrs for the democracy" will find
they have, g caught q tauiar"G in the, very
measure which they designed should prove'a
stepping-stone by which they might reach
the spoils Of Office. The mask is now :sfisc-i
sually removed, and the real cause and OBJ
ject of their sudden and .unaccountabls
zeal in the cause Of temperance is now 50
apparent Ina. the 9wayfaring maan tcan
read it without the aid of specsacles. De-
pend upon II, Messrs. Times and Register
no sensible yyhig will be lured into the %
cofoco trap by such bait! On she other
hand, not few intelligent demUcrats-true
friends of temperance reform--haye become
indignant and Disguised BY The doable-deal-.
ing course which has been pursued by, the
party in relation to that law, and will testify
their disapproyal sfsach baseness, At the bal
lot-box. E-. - ~ iss'i '''sft' - ~.
The papers alluded to, last weeks each
copied CARRIED extract from an article in
the Enquirer Of the preceding week, entitled
"A Whisper % oar Friends" 10 which
they appended comments designed,to show
that the. Wings Of Litehfeld rs County are,
"desponding," aapprehensive Of defeat 2 &c.
We will simply remind them Of soA adage,
"drsCming sssn catch Al sfra,os - with the
adendum that they are perfectly welcome u
all the consolation they can draw nom ths
article ffom which they quote, ]. RefoEsl cay,
