W'm. II. Holly. Esq.-—We the under-
signed operatives in the Iron Manufacturing
Establishment in this town. and lieretofore,
supporters of the Locofoco party. ft‘-Bl OUT-
selves called upon to notice an attack made
upon us and our employers. in a late number
of the Stamford B-inner. \Ve do not know
the Editor of the Stamford Banner, butthis
we do know that the intimations there thrown
out upon us, are libelous falsehoods from
begining to end, and from stem to stem.
We have heretofore belonged to the so
called Democratic party, and but very few of
us ever voted the Whig ticket. but if our liv. s
are spared we shall do so next November.-
Vile as operatives, are ready to testify that
our employers, at no time, nor under any
circumstances. have attempted to control our
votes. Buton the other hand, it was the ef-
fect produced by the present T-triffthat caus
ed our change of principles.
Let facts answer. How were we situated
in 1842, when lO.l)-')l'lt'lg' under the proposed
incidental. horizontal 20 per cent tariff ?—
The fact is this, every mechanic and labor-
ing man was destitute of employment. Man
ufacturing establishments were shut up.—
But since the present Tariff‘ became a law,
those establishments have again become in
‘active operation and are now flourishing tin-
der its benign_ influence. Our wages have
been raised to our full satisfaction and we
are paid in cash every month.
We have abandoned the loco foco party.
not by command of our employers. because
they never interfered with our opinions, but
for the following reasons: -
First. Because the locofoco party is in f.-
vor of British interests,.and opposed to Amer-
ican industry. -
Second, Because that party is in favor of
annexing Texas to the Union and thereby
assuming a Foreign debt of $25,000,000-
involving the country in war-—ext«-uding
and perpetuating slav«.'t‘_v. and preparing the
way for a disolution of the Union.
Third. Because we are satisfied that the
present Tariff operates beneficially on the
country, and that since it came into eflect
we have full einployment——good wages—-
cash every month.
We have heretofore been deceived by the
fine spun deceptive theory of Free Trade, but
we cannot resist the conclusive evidence of
observation and experienct',- and although
we may be denounced as traitors, by locofo-
co ed._itors and deputy Siieriffs, who them-
selves are used to the collar and the lush,
‘and kiss the rods that scourge them,’ we
shall henceforth exercise the liberty of vo-
ting‘ aacording to the dictates of reason and
&.
41‘:-K-——_§
And for further proof ofthe falsehoods of
our Locofoco neighbors, we assert that there
is still one man in the establishment who
votes the locofoco ticket. and that no attempts
by his employers has ever been made to
control his principles, although he has been
employed in the establishment eight-or nine
years. _
In conclusion. then we would give our
slandercrs a word of exhortation and caution
that is. to cease these criminal falsehoods
and give place to"truth.

up in the boat on Saturday, loud in
his offers to bet 500 dollars on the

$100 on Ohio,-$3100 on Pcnsylvania,
$100 on some other State, and $100
more on tl1o general result, 'nie.kin.g
35500 in all, and some of our good
Wfhigs really thought that where
there was so much smoke there must
be some fire. A-good VVhig from
New York, who happened to be in
this city, heard the story, and said
he could get no such bets at home
and should be glad to take it. A

went up with the money in pocket,

All the above States have, at the last elections,
chosen a uiajority of Whigs in their Legislattires,
and those which are to choose this fall will doubt-
less do so again. Tlicse States, although the list
does not include New York, New Jersey, or Perin-
tlie Union.
We learn that a black villain stopped a
boy and girl, children ofa Mr. B~~ardsley.of
Orange. on their way home from school, and
after tying the boy to a tree. committed a
most attrocious outrage upon the girl. only
10 years of age. and left thvm both tied to
a tree. We have not heard of any e or!
being made to arrest him.

suggestionsio the Whigs in regard to their ef-
forts to sjread political knowledge. It inquires:
‘VVill Whig mass meetings, singing Clay
songs. and congratulating each other upon
our prospects of success, Unflt'CPlV9 and en-
lighten our opponents? Will Whigs meet-
ing together any where, make converts of
the locofocos? Do not let this be misunder-
stood. All these. things are good in their
way and place; but this is not enough. VVe

perhaps in five cases out of ten bear ‘ese la-
mentations from those who can scarcely hickup
out their ideas after 11 o'clock in the day.-—
Nearly as often. too, you will hear these homi-
lics from the most cttlous hearted iiifidt-ls in the
community. One of\tiiis class of individuals
wounded feelings, and before we got tlirough
with his denunciations
against. and scofli-d the very idea of the reli-
glut] of_Jesus Christ, and classed its followers
among the variest hypocrites and knaves in the
world ! The man who can by slow and insidi-
ous stops, and with the cold hearted intrigue of
a fiend, undermine and destroy female Virtue,
respcctibility, iandipczice, without the least on-
liim, be poured otil
concern or l‘e2l‘.Ol'SP.. and he whose blasphemous
tongue could utter all the fearful impreratious,
and exhaust, in five minutes. the vocabulary of
the pit. can never cease to inveigli against the
private character of one, which the whole
religious contmuuiiy in which he lives. declare
and publish to be uiiexcepiionable beyond the
common run of men who do not profess christ-
ia niiy !
Our friends should estimate. the private char-
acter of these slanderers ofour candidate, and
juzlgc ofthe might to which their assertions are
entitled by iiieasuiiug them with their own
standard of purity. A gentle hint, too. in this

mouths. Try it.

Gov. DoitR.—'l'he sprnpailiy of the Democ-

strong that we should not be very much sur~

is evidently the true representative of Demo-
cratic principles. His disregard of law and
order, and contempt of those principles which
constitute the bulwark of civilized society, prove
him to have carried out the tenents of Democ-
racy to their true results. and give him a strong
claim on those who disfranchised New Jersey
in the 26th Congress, and nullified a law of the
