 The recent splendid Whig victories in the great States of New York, Ohio, and Penn. sylvania, have given a new i'm pulse to the good cause in the sut cess of which, as citi- zens and pa,rio;s, we feel lively interest. The ball is in motion, and all the obstacles with which locofncoism may strive to im- pede it's progress, will be but as sarlins> be- fore the avalanche. The spiri, of ls4O is at work among the people. and from present indications, we infer that the "powers that be-" in both State and Nation, are doomed to an overthrow as signal and complete az that which delivered the country from the reign of Van rureniSm. It is time for the Wings of Connecticut to bestir themselves! Will they supinely suffer their gallant com- monweallh to rest under the diseracetul im- putation of being the "nly New Eng land State which yielded its support to the ruin- ous and wicked measures of Mir Folks ad- mini>ira,i"n?
