Connecticut-EquaI Rights.

On Monday next the Freemen Of Connecticut
are called TO affirm or repudiate by direct vote
the fundamental principle Of the Declaration OF To-
deoendence-,o say whether they hold that man
mas right TO a voice in making the laws which are
70 govern him because he is g man or because he Is
of a particular line or complexion-"hether ION
necticut shall longer stand alone among her New
England sisters in denying to a portion OF her
nesceful. industrious, law abiding citizens the
Right Of Suffrage merely because their distant
ancestors were inhabitants OF Africa and were
dsrkened by it's fervid sun-whether Justice free
dom, Equality, shall be the basis OF their political
institutes. or Injustice Tyranny, and the meanest
most irrational Prejudice that ever shamed the day

nine tenths Of the globe, aud only kept alive by

the oudest OF them are generally gamblers WIN

the chance from aversion to being mixed up win
.Niggers' The whole pretence is hollow and ras'
cally. as well as foolish and baseless.
One word now TO the WHO'S of Connecticut,
and we shall speak it, as usual, plainly You know.
Wings that this camor against Niggers Is
naturally Loco-Foco, and is Just on par with the
usual devices OF that party You know that they
are always contriying ways and means TO attach
all that is morally vile and debssed IN the commu-
nty TO their standard and that IT is part OF their
game 10 give the drunkard the debauchee, the pro
aigate the victim OF his vices, something that
he NAV fancy he looks down upon-that is, a class
POLITICALLY and socially below his level, however
high morally above 1t Thus hundreds oil votes are
won and retained by Loco Focoism through It's
abuse of Niggers. Why, then, will you not rally
every Whig vote for the Constitutional Amend
ment TO make the Right OF Suffrage universal and
thus while doing act OF manifest Justice ana
Righteousness oblige the demsgogues who make
capital by this abuse 10 stop IT, or continue

this country have had bitter experience OF the
boowness and falseness Of that which pretends TO
be Democracy among they know that while
neither are " faultess. the Wings are practically
more Democratic than their opponents Nine
tenths of all the Coored Citizens OF Connecticut
will be morally certain TO vote the Wing Ticket so
long as the characteristics of the two great parties
remain essentially as The State is often SO
close that these votes would determine its Political
character: two or three Members OF Congress are
often carried by mere handful OF ballots When
ever, thing that could be persuaded to vote Loco
Foco Ticket does it, why shall considerable class
of Wing citizens remain destitute Of the Right OF
Suffrage Why should any Wing thus vote against
his own cause as well as against Right Why
should not every Whis vote and urge all he can
persuade to vote the other way Wings OF Con
necticut You will do yourselves as well as Others
grievous wrong if you do not carry Equal SUI
