ELECTORS nF CONNECTICUT:


There were in South Carolina, i'll 1860 49,
POI White Males, and 29l, 1853 Whites in all;
while in Connecticut there were 22l, S5s White
Males and 451, $50 Whites. AT present, the
disparity is very much greater; so that Con-
necticut has doubtless 100000 White Males
over 81 years of age, while South Carolina
has less than 10000.
james f. English insists that these at most
lag, POI White Males in South Carolina shall
have equal power in the restored " Union
with you 22l ,853 (and oyer) White Males in
Connecticut JOSEPH X. HAwLEY says No:
White Man who lives in Connecticut is as
good as one living in South Carolina, and
ought to have as much power in their COM
mon government.
Are you such base ours as to vote your
selves the natural ard proper interiors Of
South Carolinians, so that three of you shall
not count as much or have so much weight
in the Federal Government as two Of them
If you are, vote for James +. English, and
prove it
JOSEPH r. HAwLEY was a soldier through
out the War for the Union. He believed in
it, and proved his faith by his works. He
saw, felt, and knows, that the great body of
the Whites Of the South-some from fanatical
devotion to Slavery; Others from a professed
faith in the paramount obligation of State
allegiance; others from hate of the North;
still more, from pure cowardice and fear OF
the murderous terrorism 81 the Rebels
plugged into the Rebellion, and did their
worst to divide and destroy our Union. He
knows, too that the Blacks of the South
were instinctively, universally Unionists, and
ardently desired the triumph Of our arms
that they secuted and spied for Us, fed, shell
tered and ploted our soldiers fleeing from
Southern Andersonvilles and Salisburys, with
guards and bloodhounds on their trail; and
that-more especially after President Lincoln's
Proclamations of Freedom-they were active
and bold in our cause, enlisting in our armies
to the number of 300, 900, and fighting brayely,
effectively to the end.
JOSEPH II. HAwLEY, therefore, holds that a
sacred obligation rests on us to protect and
shield these loyal Blacks from the vengeful
malgnity of the bafiled, defeated, exasperaied
Rebels; thousands of whom are now oppress-
ing and abusing them because they were with
us and against them in our late struggle.
Grant that the Blacks had selfish motive in
adhering to and fighting for the Union, is it
not plain that Honor, Good Faith, Forecast,
and every impulse Of wisdom and humanity,
conspire to prompt us to attach them perma-
nently TO our side7 Suppose trouble with
foreign powers should afford the Disunionists
a favorable opportunity to revolt again, shall
We do well to teach the Blacks lesson Of
ingatitude and perfdyl Can We safely at.

James f. English is in favor Of turning the
-Four Millions of Colored Unionists over,
bound hand and foot, into the power of the
exasperated Rebels, who hate them for our
sake-hate them because they stood with US
for the Union against their frantic butcherics
in the cause Of Disunion. And three.iourths
of all who will vote for him regret to-day that
we, by the aid Of those Unionists, were able
to put down the Shareholders Rebellion.
Are you so base, so ungrateful, 50 perfidi.
Gus, as to throw these -Four Millions under
the heel Of bafIled slayeholding treason If
you are, vote for James f. English, for he is
your man. If you are not, you are bound to
do your very utmost for JOSEPH X. HAwLEY
and the true Union ticket.
We who sustain HAwLEY are for q restora-
ton Of the Union which will comprehend all,
protect all, secure tho rights and stimulate
the industrial, productive energies Of all.
They who support English are hail-fellow
with every red-handed Rebel, and demand
that he shall at once DO restored to every
right he forfeited by treason; but they insist
also that -Four Millions Of hearty Unionists
