What is the Issue.

People of Connecticut are you aware that the election ot Thomas H. Seymour place this State in hostile attitude to the General Gov. ernment? In hostile attitude to every loyal State? That it would ally us with Jeff Davis and every rebel State That it would bring upon us, and deservsdly, what the rebellious States have brought upon themselyes,-wat disaster, and destruction? Should the execu- ton of the laws be resisted, as the party who have iusulted your patriotism by nominating Seymour have threatened, the power of the United States must be yielded against us, or succumb to us. Will it succumb? If so. then
 our nationality is blotted out of existence, and we shall realize what traitors so much desire. the destruction of the temple of liberty, reared
 by patriotic hands, and in which both we and
 our fathers have worshipped. But the Gov ernment of the United States will not surren- der. The election of Seymour though inten- ded to be fritrcidal to the country would bs suicidal to the State Who will hesitate in the defence of his State and nation to vote against treason, which if successful would en- sure the destruction of both 2 . -. It is as much the duty of every voter by this peaceful method to resist the encroachmeiits of treason, as it is the duty of the soldier upon the battle field to unsheath his sword against it's armed hosts. r -l .'.s -

To THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUrRER :-
 should like to inquire of the would be Senator of the Copperhead party ir tn. 17th district whether, in his perigination' through said district, denouncing the adminis- tration of both the State and National c ov ernments-decrying the war for freedom, ant aiding to depress the Ma tional finances, h, ever stops to explain the objects and pu,pose of the Rebels in their unrighteous work. Doel he ever inform them that it is now historicall, established, that the programe for secession was adopted at the Convention at Nashville in 1850, under the auspices of John c. Cal houn? That it was at that time and placs tla Treason made it's political survey, and estab lishsd it's trade line of operations, from whicl and back to which all the subsequent plotting, and calculations have been made. These plot tings and calculations are as distinctly traeea ble in the history of southern politics from tha State,a arc the movements of.southern armies since the foul attack on Fort Sampter. Bu the Senator knows that the fact IS paten to the senses of all men, while only the tss examine the history.
 Does he ever inform his hearers that MT Spratt of South Carolina in his,letter to MT Perkins of Louisiana, (fhe ablest, by the way ever written on the southern side of the ques tion, )-said, " that there was no man in th South who deserved the name of statesman who would pretend that secession was cause by any aggression of the North upop th rights of the South, or that # arose iron any special hate of the Yankees "That was still less the result of any act of opprss sion on the part af the Goyernqent of th

 To THE EDITOR or TIE Enou1RER :-
 Our last article upon this subject embraced the resolutions relating to the Emancipation Proclamation and various other prominent acts of the Administration intended to aid in put ting down the rebellion, and We showed, we think, the absurdity of their accusations and the disastrous tendencies of their teachings But the crowning wicksdness of these resolu- tions is still to come. As the skillfnl orator gathers into his closing sentences all the strong points of his speech and hurls them with con centrated force upon his audience. so the Dem ocratic leaders gather into the next resolution the full virus of their treason, and qnmask the full malignity of their opposition to ap Admin istration opposed to oppression and n favor e freedom. Hers is this resolution.
 l" RESOLVED, that, in connection with cur fel low citizens Of other Statss, we will use ou' utmost influence to resist the payment ef 1 single dollar of the peoples money ,unconstitu- tionally appropriated. for the unwarFsntes project of ofcompensated Emancipation.
 This resolution involves, at least, three hate
 ful things, gross inconsistency, opposition t
 the freedom ofthe slaves upon any terms, an' open and avowed treason to the Government
 planned and organized deliberately. It involve
 gross inconsistency. How much have VI
