WHO ARE THE TRAITORS 2

The Times has great deal to say about trsi- tors, charging every one with treason who op- poses the war. The Cou copies the fol- lowing extract from a recent speech of the Hon John M Niles, in the Senate of the United States

The Issues.
Com.
 of Arang'ts

The Wings of Connecticut will go into the approaching election, unembarraSseG by any local ouesi;-.s ii;..s which led to some divis. ions a year since. They are un'.--~" m pr'n' ciples, and when the issues between the parties are fairly made, and the people will make themselves heard at the ballot boxes, we have no fears for the result. The ad. miniS,raton is committed to policy at war with all the better feelings of Connecti- cut men. We have no sympathy with the agsrandizing, an.i-republcan schems of the day. The administration has wantonly ,riaed with the peace and happiness of mil lions Of freemen. It has tinkered and embar- rassed revenues and finances. It squanders recklessly, and eu,angles the operations of the currency. Its legislation fosters British capital, and foreign labor, 10 the neglect of the best interests of our own cour trymen. This wanton, corrupt legislation was char ged pon the administration, by it's own par tizans, such as Messrs. Niles and Cameron of the U. s. Senate.
 With such issues, clearly defned, and prseented 10 the feemen of Connecticut, can there be a doubt about the decision they will pass upon the folly and weakness of the rulers 7? Wings! one and all 10 the duties of true freemen.

RE EM RER.

When You deposit your vote week from next Monday, that if you give it for the locofoco ticket. you endorse the do tugs of the weak and interruptions ad- mini>tralion Of the national Government, which under pre:encc of maintaining the national honor, is loading inc country with an oppressive debt-necdlessly ex- posing the lives of our officers and sos> diers, and striving to rob the gallant Tay- Tor and Scott of their well earned laurels on ,he field of battle. Every thing indi- caies determination on the part of the President to prevent thess successful Gen> erals from ob,aingin any more popularity. Hence Scot was sent 10 M xi"o to suI er- sede Taylor, and every effort was made 10 get Benton into the same field to super scde Scott! Few are so blind as not to understand the motives Of President in these attempts to destroy his supposed rivals. Wi:h MT. Polk the honor and prosperity of ,he nation appear 10 be of small consequence compared with his personal schemes for reelection to the Presidency. We say then that all who vote for the loco loco ticket at the cleo. tiou in this State week from next Mon- day, vote an approval ot Folks attacks on Taylor and Scott, us we'll os his other doings.

MT. E'litor-Looking over the columns of certain professe,lly democratic newspaper. we find ,he merits of the two candidates for Senator in this district dis cussed at considerable length over the signatures of Coiebrook & Barkhams,et. neither of which do we believe originated in tho above mentioned places-but that they are the production of restless, un- easy spirit, whose malevolencc could not be gra,ified short of misrepresentation and talsehood. Sc far as we are ac~ quainted. we profess to know something about the feelings of our friends in this vi- cini,y, the piece charac,crizing Mir. Hall is wholly destitute of truth, published 10 to Gratity private animosity rather than to promote the interest of the democrat ic party, for no man in this part Of the country stands higher in the estimation of all parties, md no one has n stronger hold upon tho affection ofth- people. In his intercourse with the world, he is con- sidered man of strict integrity, high minded, honest, honorable &S if we were to select from the ranks of our opponents no one would be sooner taken for office, and if left the alternative of choo sing be- tween the two candidates for senator, our choice would certainly fall on him. Whatever his standing as lawyer may be, his uprigh,nsss has gained him rep uta,ion which cannot be strang,ed by vociteration.
 For several years past most of us have lived within two or three miles of Mr, Bescher. and have an acquaintance with him-and extraordinary as it may ap. pear, we never have discovered those great and good qualifications that give
 him such truncendency over others.
 A man who will make a sacrifice of prin- ciPie, abandon his party pledge, become a dnpe, mere aulomaton set up and worked by Wm. $. HOlablrd, who has never had she confidence of his party sufficien, to gain a seat in the popular branch of Legislature of the State--and if voted for a, ali by ,hose around him, il has no, been done wi,hou, sone conscientious scruples. That Roliin L. Beecher should be at the disposal of such man. to us is astonishing. At the same time We have no ili>will towards Mir. Beecher, nor would We wish to detrac, from his merits in the least.
 We remain firm in our political sen,i> meats, and have to regret we ca mot go with onr friends in the nomination for Senator we ihi0k ahe choice injudicious.

MR. KuBouRN- Believing that yoS have no desire to treat any one with inIustsce' beg leave lo ccrTecs an impression whicH is 10 some extent prevalent in this Sena.o- rial District, relative to Mr. Beecher, the candidate of the Liberty Party for the Sem ate. 1t has been intima,ed in your columns and positively asserted in our streets, that MT Beecner was not d -;;r2s Liberty man. This is not True, and he does not tn:nk any for using such arguments with view :" thereby obtaining for him the votes of the democratic party. He is firm uncompro- missing Liberty man-condemns the Anne'r. a;ion of Teras--is utterly opposed to the or igin, objects and prosecution of the present unhGly and miserable WGr I0ith Meric0- 0nd ABHoRs the SC, vile cOu'Se Cf the north ern democracy on the great question of slav> cry. In fact he has little or no sympathy with the democratic party as it is now cons sti.uted, and you may be sure he will in n" degree compromise his principles for the sake of securing democratic votes: for in- deed he DOES NOT WANT the support | of those who oppose those principles.

Attention, Whiss :!

A most important duty must soon devolve upon the freemen of Con- n.cticut-a duty which is not lightly 10 be esteemed, and which canno, be set aside without incurring a kind and degree of guilt which no true natriot will covet. Tho privilege ot choosing our own rulers, is dls''nc- five and essential feature of repub!l- canism, and should be regarded as sacred and marketable right and he who would treat it with contempt, hardly deserves the name and posi- ton of a freeman. Whenever the neoole of this country become indif. trrent to the summons which would call them to their Annual Elections, we may we'll fear for the stability of our Government. Anarchy and Des- potism, in their worst forms, willmos assuredly follow.
 We hope every WHrc in Connect ;cut will, in the approaching contest, prove himself worthy of the honored name he bears. His country, and the cause of truth aud justice, alike call for his carr est and vigorous eff forts.
 Friends of Freedom! whatever may be your party affinities, can yo" deliberately and conscienciously cast vour v ,tes for, or league yourselves with, ,Iwhat has been emphatically and truly led "the pro-savery party of the north," a "northern party with southern principles" a party which has done more to extend and perpet- uate the "peculiar institution" than YOU can counteract in the next half century Ponder we'll upon these things, and then vote for candidate of the so-called "democracy" if you CAN .,
 Friends of Peace and Justice will you give your votes in such way that they will go to sustain the Ad- ministration in plunging the country into a war of conquest and invasion Who shall estimate the amount of blood and treasure which has been and wlll be wasted in that unright- eous conflict Shall we not, by our suffrages teach those in authority at Washington, that we have some regard for the laws ofnations and the rights of common humanity, and that we will not see them trampled upon without entering our solemn protest against such acts, and thereby wash our hands of all participation Ill their guilt.
 Comrades and co. workers in the cause of Polit cal Reform on the eve of a most important election we once more send forth our weekly messengers to you, full ofcon6dence in your zeal and integrity, and ami mated with the inspiring hope that our glsrious commonwealth is soon to be released from the disgrace of giving even an apparent sanction to the iniquities which have character ized our National Administration. As you value tho reputation of your State and the prosperity os her citi- zens, we urge upon you the necessi- ty of increased vigilance and activity. Let us do our WHOLE duty. and THE VICTORY Is OURS !

 Ofcur candidates for the Senate.
 Gideon Hall, Jr.. Esq.
 Who has been SO bitterly and unjustly assailtd by the democra,s' and their new allies the Liberty-men, is one ofihe most popular men in the district. Skill led in his profession, well informed on state and national politics, expert need in legislation, and genllemanly and cour,e> ous in his intercourse with all. The allies justly regard him as formidable oppo- nens, and have consequently concen,rat- ed their fire upon him. We would s!mp- !y remind them of the guns in McFingal that

 Our candidate in the Sixteenth District is one of the most intelligent and upright men in the county. A practical agricultu- ralis,, he is familiar with the feelings and wants of tie laboring classes, and under. stands perfectly what kind of legislation conduces to their prosperity and what tends 10 cmbarrass and retard it.
