EIo! fortise Convention /!

Cn HfuHeS0dY HeIL our ilckel LOT State
officers is TO be nominated. Certain we
are that our Wing friends in this county
will not need to be reminded of the i'm
portance of full representation at the
Convention. Mos, if not all the towns in
this vicinity have already chosen their
delegates, and we are pleased TO notice
among them the names Of not few of
the staunches: and trucst Wings in the
coun:y-men who may be relied upon on
all occasions. The St lection Of such men
is indicative Of right feeling among
our friends, and gives assurance that they
feel the importance Of the object which
they have entrusted TO their Delegates
We need men Of decision and discretion,
as we'll as Of rinciplc-men who will be
uninhuenccd by factions and cliqucs-
who, while they are firm in contenLing
for the rights nd wishes of those whom
they represent will at the same time be
ready to sacrifice their own preferences
for the sake of union and conccssion.-
/ Self must be merged in a desire for the
good cfthe great cause for which as wings
ard patriots we are contcnding. 1t isa
cause Of which none but demagogues and
and Loco. iocos need he ashamed. The
purest and wisest men in the couEtry are
with US in feeling, in sentiment and action
! One after another The Suites of the. I'M
! ion are wheeling into Wing line. Even
( Neoc Hampshire which had worn the
chains and silack!es of the democracy"
until their c.anking became music to her
and shecvcn prid"d herself in the ubjcct-
ness Of her scrvi,uhc, is rrjnicing Owe,
her political rrgrncr alton, and Uule-ing
her sister, Connecticut, t" join her in the
march Of reform. Let Us send back a
| response mat shall crack her old hills of
granite with its echo ! The State which
gave birth 10 such Wings as the Wolcotts,
the TrunbullS, the Ellsworths aud the
Shcrmans Of a former generation, should
scorn to be caught mapping in the lap OF
Loco focoism! Ii needs but united
and vigorous eff Drt onthe part oflhe wings
and the stigma which now dins the once
fair fame Of our glorious commonwealth
will be removed. A
Wigs shall Connecticut longer be
obnoxious 10 the charge Of upholdIng and
approving OF The erisling tariff, the direct
tendency of which is to reduce the wages
ofour mechanics AMI arizans to the lev
ell with those of the wretcllcd paupcr-Ia-
borcrs of Europe! Shall she continue 10
be proclaimed an advocate of the Sub
treasury, the Executive reioes, and all
the wretched schemes and vagarics TO
which this administration has given birth?
And more than all, shall tho State which
has hitherto been characterized rs lhe

alily-ot educated minds, and free and
fearless hearts-bc willing to be known

and conquest which is now being wa.ed
against II sister Republican war for "cX-

is looked upon with adherence by all
Christendom ? Justice Go,bid it!
Thcn, Delegates! Ho, for the Conven-
ton! Much depends for success upon
tho manner in which you discharge your
duty there. Place upon our State Ticket
able, faithful ana popular men. julicious.
ly selected from the different sections
of the State, and we shall not need the
wizards glass to enable us to Sc, some
thing more than the "shad,o OF coming
events"
