-;,h our readers on the subject of the electio next Monday.
 n;. inc last time, we hope, for many months ,.., ,xe shall be compelled to call their attention z, tbe importance of voting alright, or of speakin ..pon the subject of politics as intimately eenaee i'd with our welfare.
 None of our readers who are we'll versed in tn sistors ofthe present affairs, will deny, that a east, at this time, an honest vote cast unde, q:audingly, and for the right, can be otherwis han timely, important, and indeed obligatory o, every faithful citizen.
 A time for words, and time for action comes none too frequently in our country for the homes masses to put their shoulders to the wheel, to re lake wrong, to uphold the right, and to expres. heir calm, intelligent opinion upon the state o .,ffairs, which they are permitted and authorized and indeed, which it is their duty to do at every election.
 And in order to do this inteuigenay, it is neces. ssry that fair and plain statement of facts should he placed before them to guide, if possible, from erur, and to counteract the miserable sophisms which are constantly dinged in their ears, by those who would make the success of a party para mount to the safety of a government.
 Now it is a. .fsta, that the Government of the United States, the Union of these States, and the perpetuity of this Union is in extreme peril the federal arm is nearly paralyzed, and the admins ,ration which has just come into power, by the popular voice of million and half of legal vo- ;srs of this country, is embarrassed and hedged on Ill sides by great and serious questions of policy and power.
 his a fao, that the outgoing administration, admitted almost unanimously upon all sides, has contributed, by its reckSessaess, by it's imbecility and by it's unexampled course of fraud, and dou. sedealing, and trsachery, to the present distrac- ed state of the Union. No one believes but 'hat if we had had a strong, honest, upright ad- ministration for the past four years, we should have been in the condition we find ourselves to. dny, with six States seeded" and others tremb- ing in the balance of loyalty and treason.
 IS fact, which every one believes, that the sni course to be pursued in the present crisis is sne of frmness mingled with conciliation, and that while the administration should avoid, il Possibse the initiating of civil war with the South fnust still be prepared to act upon the defensive and is bound to protect, defend and uphold the rights and property of the Union until the Union \ legally dissolved.
 The difficulty in which the Federal Admins. 'ras'cn now finds itself involved, is the want oi 9oser rasher than the want of will to enforce the avs of the land, and carry out the plain, practi aA, peaceful wishes of the vast majority which has placed that administration at the head of the government, and which the President has re af arned his desire to carry out in his Inaugural Eddsess

 The mOraf effect of the vote of this State is als as determined and important as its direct effec Since 1853, the State of Connecticut has new ssltesea in the support of those principles whie are in favor of human equality, which are for u rights of free people to govern themselves, f the uPholding Of the Constitution and the Uniol and sar the enforcement of the public laws. An nov, that the threats of those, who have at la become minority under the Government, al carried out, and the Union is to be broken u, and the Republic dishonored, on the very groun and with the only excuse, that Connecticut an New England, and the Free North, have no ripl soexercise their constitutional privileges, no ripl b proclaim their universal abhorrence to the i, stifusion of Slavery, no right to use their sufr, ses to protect the territories from its curse Scnrecticuf to falter now, to kneel down and CT swe have sinned, we are wrong.
