Connecticut.
 Arain the People oi Connecticut are called to the choice Oi rulers for their State. and not for their State only, but for the nation. Four Members Of Congress are to be chosen by them' and these may very probably determine the PO- litical complexion efGhe House. Men of Con. neciicut what say you! Shall they be advo> cates of Peace, oI champions of aggressive War the steadfaSt defenders Of Human Freedom or the scrvile tools of expanding Slavery:- Which best comports with the Morality. the Christianity, the Intelligence and Industry of Connecticut! Choose ye. and do as we'll as chcose, lest your State be again humiliatee, as last year, by minority rule, brought about by . coalition of Loo ofocoism with an element still baser if possible. Although very large majority of the people of your State unequivo.
 ,ly condemn the course of the National Ex. .cr,;ve. -.l there is peril ,h't, through the su- ;c;d,l u;nAri,v of is. Rirney Abolitionists, one or more supporters of that ExecG.." may DC sent to represent you at Washinston-to vote for still further butchery in Mexico, still great- CT accumulatons of National Debt-to vote a. ganst Protecting Home Industry. and in favor of taxing the daily beverage of the Poor-to vote the Nation still deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of Crime, Debt, RaPacity and Mutder-to drift it nearer and nearer to the yawning gulf of Bankruptcy. Men of Connec- ticut Freedom, Justice, Public Veal, unite in exhorting you 10 a determined effort fer the right on the first Monday in April, and to the utmos, vigilance and energy henSeforth in pre. pasation therefor.
 We have been acquainted with the Connec- ticut Delegation in the last House-intimately with some of them-and we are sure that no Delegation commanded more thoroughly the respect of the House, or more justly deserved the confidence of their constituents. TRUMAN SMITH had been previously in Congress, and had served with credit and usefulness, but his wider acquaintance and better familiarity with business have rendered him far more efficient and influential in the last House. where he had few or no superior as a business man. JOHN A. ROCKWELL made one of the best Speeches last year, if not the very best Speech. in illus tration of the beneliis of manufactures to an the current Loco Foeo stories of the enormous profits of manufacturers under Protective Ia. riff No Speech of the Session was better cal- culated to dispel baleful prejndices and difTus" just views on economic questions. SAMUEL D HUBBARD, though seldom or never claiming I the floor. was known an l confded in by the whole House as a man of integrity. intelligence and practical knowledge of public affairs And JAMES DIXON. though one of the younges, members of the House, las done more, bv his Speeches on the Tariff Question, Nativ,sm, the Mexican War and Slave Extension. to dspel erroneous views and ineulcate v,taltrnths.than almost any other man in the House The young men of Connecticut may we'll be proud of their especial Representative in the last Congress All four of the late members are candidates for re election, presented by their Whig con. stituents with hardly dissenting voce-a tes- timonial rarely more heartily accorded or more richly deserved. Ii all are elected, we shall | cnerisn high hopes ot Whis House and a Whig Speaker next December-and q revolux tion in tho House has alway: hitherto been the forerunner of Grange of dynasty in the Na- f.Ciul Executive. The loss of any one of them may blast this prospect, Wings of Connects cut ought Loco Focoism, Birneyism or Rum either or all together-,o subject one of your Representativto such humiliation or you to such disaster' They cannot if you are out vi- gilant and faithful. Bat let the dormant be aroused. the absent be called home, the waver- ing enlreated, the school districts canvassed until you ar sure tha, every vote that can be is secured to the Right. That done, you may look with confidence for victory which will elec,rify and inspirit your brethren thfoughou, the Union. But rest not a r.oraent ill your or. ganizations are thoroughly completed, for the day of trial rapiclyapproaches!
