TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
renf
OF Connecticut is most significant in its import and from
the date Of its assembage the republican party Of New
England may date its downfall 1t may be supposed that
this movement Ia not political one, and that it is simply
Intended to show Of those manufacturers in Con-
nectcut who would say 10 their customers South OF
Mason aud Dixons line, "Thou canst not say did
it." But lot the republicans lay this stternX JUNCTION
20 their souls. While New England States continue
roll up large msorities favor Of political party whose
unity only exists in its opposition to the domestic nstu
ions of the South-a party composed OF every political
trpc known confederacy, whose leaders upon all
kher questions Of national importance wide apart
s the poee-whiie this party threatens like thunder
cloud TO overwhelm with its vndctve force the weaker
portion OF country in conflict which they declare
annot be stayed something will be required than
mpe protesiations against the raid of the mailman
Brown.
The existence Of the power Of the republican party,
With its Avowed object Of interference with institution
Which the citizens OF one half OF this republic
believe be essential to their happiness and pros
bery, must necessarily continue this agitation which
fail to be destructive in its consequences TO the
post interests OF all sections Of the Union. What,
hen; Is the obvious remedy The power Of the
conservative national men must come out from
mong them and leave banded together the rump fac
rong minded women, who would then be impotent for
mischief.
Any result therefore, short the entire overthrow Of
he republican party arising from this convention, viii
pill to restore the confidence, harmony and brothery
ard which are the object Of ths gathering:
