WORKING MAN OF CONNECTICUT
.rIL $40 AGAINST COMPROMISE.

The following letter was written to mem.
ber Of the Connecticut delegation in Congress
.zraoD CossEcTIcuT, December 10, 1860.
DEAR Sin: trust that you will not think
me impertinent, IL, in such "crisis" as the
present take the liberty of addressing you
few, words and although they may come from
very humble individual, yet, you remember
that one rote has as much poioep as another.
Ny object in addressing you is to give you, if
may, some idea Of the intenSe interest felt at
the present time IN the cause of American lib.
erty, in the circle in which | move. In the
factory we have upwards OF forty Re publican
voters, and, not to speak of the feelings of those
4 meet elsewhere, let me assure you that among
as there is but one feeling with regard to ma.
king any more compromises, and that is OF the
most intense hostility to them. We feel that
our Representatives cannot make further con
cessioDs without a sacrifice of our dearest prin.
ciples; if slavery is nationazed, then all is lost.
You very well know upon what principle our
party has gained such a glorious triumph, and
given new hope to the world. We feel conf
dent that you will not betray, by your cote or
poice, the cause Of freedom; but the idea that
any so called Republican should, for a moment,
entertain the idss offurther compromise, fills us
with alarm ard fear, that by some foul plot we
may be betrayed once again aud hence, have
been urged aud pressed to write you few
words.
The feeling is this, and hear. it every day,
that if the party l love so much, with whom
have labored SO hard, shall now be false, and
recede in any degree from its high position,
then we will abandon it at once, and forercr."
No words Of mine can convey to your mind
how strong and deep is this feeling. l believe
that there are thousands who have fully made
up their minds to mark any and every man
that falters in this emergency.
The storm clouds look dark and threatening,
it is true, but if we are true to ourselves, to
humanity, and to God, the sun of our liberties
will yet shine clearer and brighter, and that
through all time. We ardently cherish the hope
that our Representatives will be firm and true
to the last, whatever course others may pursue
believing that it is always safe TO do right."
