COMMUNICATIONS.

To the Greenbaekers of New Haven. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER: desire to speak through your columns to the independent voters of this city in regard to the last dodge of the artful dodgers-the wire pulling, scheming political tricksters,' Troup, Graves, Atwater, Shelton & Co.,, the first three being the spurious Greenbackers of New Haven. Unite the opposition to beat the Republicans is the last political card that Troup, Graves & Go. have to play. They have opened their political back door that leads to the ash heap of hope. Oh, shattered prospects. Snubbed by the Democratic par ty, banished from the Greenback party, and the Republican party will not have them. Where will they go next? They call on all independent voters to come and vote the Democratic ticket, trying to deceive with the cry, Unite the opposition to beat the Repub- icans I''
 Now, Greenbackers of New Haven, no man in this State desires the downfall of the Re publican party more than I do, but do not wish to replace it with the Democratic party. If we have had enough of the Republican party we had an overdose of the Democratic party Had it not been for the pledges and promises of the Democratic party the South would never have thrown down 
 against equal rights all through the war, and then when it saw the people would not endorse it, it went and made platform so near like the Republicans that you could not tell which was which, and clasped to it's bosom ''nigger'' amendments, stnigger sui frage, equal rights Freedmen's Bureau, Seward Phelps and Lincoln, and put Horace Greeley up for President. Now can Troup Graves & Go. succeed in making the Greenback men of this city believe that ought to trust the sacred cause of currency reform in the dirty hands of the polluted Democratic party Green packers of New Haven, heed not this false cry to unite the opposition. There is no meaning in it. It is only the old game to put the Democratic party in power. There is not a principle in the contest nothing in the is sue between the Republicans and Democrats. I ask any man who thinks for himself, how would it improve the interests of the masses by having Tilden or Bayard, auy man who could secure the Democratic nomination at Cincinnati? Would it make any difference to the third party if Grant, Blaine or any Repubnean, Esin,a was vas siaeronoa sent theres Not would ss soon see Grant or Blaine there as Tilden or Bayard. The Democratic party promises us just what the Republicans are giving There would be no change of policy in case of victory of the Democrats. The youngest child now born will never live 
 ruled for many years. It was they that gave us the wildcat currency which was in no way superior to the national bank system, but in ferior in almost every particular. But If it is better to have hard cold than the consumption, there is no reason why every man, woman aud child in the United States, should go in for having 8 hard cold. In the campaign of 1880 the Democrats have not a principle at stake in the contest. They are spurred on only by the glitter of public plunder. Greenback men of New Haven, act with your own party. If we don't win our votes are not thrown away. We vote for principles that we love. have no means of speaking to our people except through the columns of the Republican press, which has no sympathy with our views, but will give it the credit in several places where I have lived of being more honorable than the Greenbackers will close by saying, Heed not the cry !" Unite in opposition to Troup, Graves $ Co.,, for to follow them means vote the Democratic ticket. I favor uniting the opposition, but not under the folds of the Democratic badner. ALBERT J. MORTON.
