er are all salutary; that the President
holds but a proper check over the legis-
lation of Congress’, and that it is fit and
proper for him to exercise-the power upon
questions of expediency as upon. questions
of constitutional law, and llp( it all ques-
tions in regard to which.‘in"hi‘s-?*’opinibn,-
the legislation is unwise.

,And; then we come, fellow,.citize.ns, to
another great topic, which cannot belong
kept opt of sig.ht, which ‘is close upon us;
and however, other circumstances, have,
for a moment withdrawn " our attention
from. it, we shall meet it ere long, and I
fear in no very agreeable or satisfactory
shape. I mean the great.question’of pro-
tect-.t.ing the labor of the country, and the
manufactures, by providing for them to a
reasonable extent, a market at home for
the product of that labor, and, -the con-
sumption of those manufactures. In my
opinion, gentlemen, th.is is a most vitally
important subject, now directly before us.
True, the time is not long enough to dis-
cuss anything, but I may express a short
op-inion, and I will do it, and I.shall do it
distinctly; and that opinion is, that with-
out a revision of onrlaws respecting du-
ties in our custom house, without such a
revision as shall adopt discriminating du-
ties and specific duties, the prosperity of
this country, the success of men in busi-
ness, and the earnings of labor, can never
be restored to their ancient state. This
is my opinion. (cheers.) . _ ~

Now I say that not one of these things
will be done if Gen. Cass is elected Pres-
ident of the United States; and as any
notion that any body but Gen. Taylor or
Gen. Cass will be elected, is idle, whoso-
ever among us surfers himself to be drawn
away by new names, or surnames, or cog-
nomens of any description, to a new party
is but listening to “sounding brass and
tinkling symbol.” (App|ause.)

And, then again, the improvement of
lakes and harbors, for the protection of
the lives and properties of,men; that is
another point upon which the President
that now is, like those who have been
President before, has applied the veto
power, anddefeated laws passed almost
unanimously by Congress, or rather,
almost unanimously by the public branch
of the National Legislature.

One other topic. In what spirit are
the foreign relations of this country to be
hereafter conducted! Are they to be
conducted in a peaceful spirit’! A spirit
which seeks to be at peace on just and
honorable terms, Withall the nations of
the earth, and to maintain with those na-
tions useful commercial relations’! Or,
are they to be conducted in a, spirit of
qu-erulousness, and readiness to quarrel-
in a spirit that seeks occasion for aggran-
dizement and war—-or a spirit that yields
itself up to a notion of the manifest des-
tiny of the United States, and is ready to
carry the system established among us,
over other nations, willing or unwilling
to receive them——-and by foreign acquisi-
tion to make ours a great and magnificent
empire 1

In connection with this part of the case
I have said formerly what I say now, that
I believe Gen. Cass to be one of the most
——THE most dangerous man in the commu-
nity to be trusted with these relations. I
know nothing in his history that shows
him to be governed by a prevalent desire
of an honorable peace. I do not mean to
say that he would rush into _a war in which
he might not expect the support of the
people; but Isay thatthe tendency of his
politics, and the tendency of thosewho
support him, especially in some parts of
the country, is towards war, aggrandize—
meat, and the annexation of new territory.
And the question now is, whether we are
to abandon all these.

- And here let me say, fellow citizens,
that among the things which I deeply re-
gret, is this; that the attention of the

Whigs, and I will say more emphatically,
the attention of the Whig press, has been
called too much away from the discussion
of these things to discuss matters about
men. While we are disputing whether
Gen.Taylor is a Whig,about which I think
there is no question; and while we are
disputing whether Mr._Van Buren is a true
liberty man, a matter about which I think
there is as little question, (laughter,) we
leave this great vital interest, the protec-
tion of labor just spoken of. , I would in-
voke the attention of all Whigs; Whigs
of the North, of the Center, and of the
South, to an attempt to rally the public
judgment on this great interest.

And, gentlemen, some of the favorers
of this “ new light” of the Free Soil sun,
instructs us not to look backward; I hope
we may be permitted to look forward; I
hope_we may not be compelled to reduce
ourselves to his condition, who is describ-
ed as one,

“ VVho ne'er looks backward; onward still he goes ;'

,Yet ne’er looks forward further than his nose.”

I pray you fellow citizens, to look for-
ward; to contemplate the condition of
things, if Gen. Cass is elected President.
I have given you a summary of our whig
doctrines and principles which we have
supported, through good and bad report,
for twenty years——principles with which
we all, I hope, are deeply irnbued—-princi-
ples which we all feel, or which I feel, to
be essential to the preservation of the
Constitution and the country. I desire
you now to look forward, and‘ see what
will happen to the country and to these
important principles and sentiments, if
Gen. Cass is elected President. I will tell
you exactly what will happen. Gen. Cass
will say that every one of these doctrines
has been repudiated, put down and con-
demned, by that very majority of the peo-
which makes him President. Who can
stand up in Congress, after such a result,
and say that the publicivoice desires a
modification of the tariffof 1846?. He
will say that the public voice has made
him President, to keep the tariff where it

So in (ch, goiitleirien, for the general ques-

tion, respecting the election of a Presi-
dent of the United States.

But recent-events" have raised another
question, whichjhas come to affect very
materially the. domestic government of
the State of Massachusetts. A party has
arisen and has been organized in this
State, which calls itself the Free Soil party.
I think there is a good joke by Swift, or
some writer of his time, who wished to
ridicule some one who was making no
very tasteful use of the “ natizle solum ;”

“ Dulce er. natale solum—

Good words: I wonder where he stole ’cm.”

Now I will not say these words, “ Free
Soil party,” are stolen from any where ;
but the senliment is possessed by a sort of
petty larceny. Gentlemen who join this
Free Soil party in the State of Massachu-
setts, pretend that they are better lovers
of liberty, warmer and more consistent
opponents of the slave power than those
they leave behind-them. I do not admit
this. I do not think they can prove it. I
think we are just as good anti-slavery
men and Free Soil men as they are‘, altho’
we do not set ourselves up, by way of
eminence and pre-eminence, above our
neighbors.

Now, first, what is the history of this

Free Soil party’! Some years ago, indeed,
before Mr. Van Buren’s election to the
Presidency, or about that time, there was
known to be a schism to some extent in
the great Democratic or Locofoco party
of New York. This schism increased by
degrees; and for many years Mr. Van Bu-
ren was acknowledged to be the general
head of the party, and was supported by
both branches of this schism. In process
of time, it grew wider and wider, until
Gov. Wright was a candidate for a second
re-election to’ the office of Governor;
when some of the party, denominated the
Old Hunkers, either grew cold in his sup-
port, or abstained from _giving him any
support; and by this time the other branch
of the party had adopted the name of
Baruburners. This schism went on until
it came to an actual outbreak, :1 year and
a half. or two years ago, an actual outbreak,
a state of hostility, between the two
branches of the party. But this party,
now called the Barnburngrs, existed as
one branch of the great Democratic party
of New York, long before any question
arose about the Wilmot Proviso, or any
opposition in that party to the progress of
slavery, or the extension of Slave territory.
And up to the time of the annexation of
Texas. every member of both branches of
the party in New York, went straigt for-
ward and right ahead in supporting the
annexation of Texas, Slavery and all.
' But by this time the efforts of the Whigs
alone had raised a strong sentiment in the
North, against further annexation of Slave
territory. I say the VVhigs alone, for no-
body belonging to the other party, North
or South, East or West, stirred a finger in
that cause; or if there were any, they
were so few as not to be discernible in
the mass, until the Whigs of New England,
Ohio and other Middle States, had accom-
plished a great excitement, a new feeling
in the public mind; and then this portion
of the Democracy of New York, now de-
nominated the Barnburning party, seized
upon this state of exitemerrt, thus brought
about by Whig effort, and attached this
principle to their creed, to give them a
pre-eminence over their rivals. That is
the history of the Buffalo Convention. In
its origin, it had no more to do with free
principles than it had to do with the Ma-
sonic Institution, or the Anti-masonic
feeling in the community. It was a mere
contest for power, and predominance in
the party in New York. And now having
engrafted this very just sentiment upon
their old creed, and holding fast to all the
rest of their “ Thirty-nine articles,” they
expect that the VVhigs of Massachusetts
will take service under them ; and that
they will engage, and enlist, I had almost
said to be subsidized, to maintain the pre-
dominance of one branch of the Demo-
cratic Party of New York over the other!
For one, I propose to do no such thing. I
_do not like the service.

Ihlave said, gentlemen, that in this Buf-
falo platform, this collect , of the new
school, there is nothing new. Nothing
has been pointedjout as new. .

There is nothing in it that all the Whigs
ofthe Middle and Northern States may
not adopt.

Gentlemen, the people of Massachu-
setts have lately had the pleasure of read-
ing a communication from one of their
oldest and most distinguished, and best re-
garded fellow citizens ;—I mean the Hon.
Harrison Gray Otis; a gentleman far in
the decline of life;—l think he completed
yesterday his eighty-third year. His sun
casts the long shadows far and far into
the East, but it is itself bright, and placid,
and grateful. He has written with the
vigor of youth and the wisdom of age. I
see that some of those who undertake to
instruct the public mind on great questions
of public policy, think it courteous and
dignified to call this letter a “humbng.”
If it is so, then humbug signifies uncom-
mon power of composition, great political
wisdom, chastened by long experience-—
the enunciation ofsound and ‘solemn pub-
lic political truths, and great practical
wisdom in their application. Iwish we
could see more of such humbug as that.
(Applause) ‘

GOVERNOR. 01-‘ THE STATE 01-‘ CONNECTICUT.
A I’l{0CL.-IIYIATION.

The year which is now drawing to a
close has been crowned by many mercies;
affording renewed testimonials of the for-
bearance and kindness of our Heavenly
Father, and demanding of us, as a com-
munity and nation, corresponding emo-
tions of gratitude and praise.

I therefore recommend that T/tursday,
the 33:11 day of ./Vovember new], be observed
throughout this State, as a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God.
And I invite the people of this State, in
conformity to the usages of our Fathers,
to celebrate this joyful festival in a man-
ner, and with such observances as are ap-
propriate to a christian thanksgiving. And
particularly that they assemble with their
Pastors and Teachers, in their respective
places of worship, and there with sincere
and devout affections, that they tender the
reverential homage of their hearts to God,
for the countless mercies vouchsafed to
us as a State and Nation—For the abimd-
ance of our harvests and the supply for
the wants of man and beast——For the re-
turn of peace with Foreign Nations, and
the enjoyment of tranquility in all our
borders-—For the increasing attachment
of our people to our invaluable institutions,
and the hopes we are permitted to indulge
of their perpetuity.

And above all, let all the people praise
God for the gospel of reconciliation, by
which he is bringing this oflenrling world
to himself; cheering the pilgrimage of
the weary and heavy-laden,and holding
out to the stricken, the sorrowful, and the
dying, bright hopes of everlasting life, and
of salvation beyond the grave. »
Given under my hand and the seal of

this State, at New Haven, this sev-

enteenth day of October, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand

the motto, “ We will not have this man

Heavy Damages.——In the circuit Court
held at Newburgh last week, Gilbert W.
Oliver recovered a verdict of $8000,
against the New York and Erie Railroad
Company, as compensation for severe in-
-juries sustained by him four years ago,
making him a cripple for life, by an acci-
dent to the train in which he was. The
accident was caused by a defect in one of
the wheels, which broke and the cars were
thrown into a gully.‘ ,

Mr. Gerard, the other evening in his
speech, alluding to the magical powers
which had been ascribed to Mr. Van Buren,
remarked that although other men might

charge of being engaged in treasonable
practices. The latter is-charged with

The ladies were travelling on a car when
they were taken into custody. Miss Power

Mr. John A. Doyle, a passenger in the
Niagara from Liverpool, states that he was
arrested on his arrival at Halifax, on sus-

BRIDGIIEPORT,

THURSDAY THE 26th INSTANT.

There is to be a great TAYLOR MASS
MEETING at Bridgeport, on THURSDAY
of this week. Several of our most distinguish-
ed speakers are to be present. We learn that
as in ’44, the latch-string will hang out, and the
hospitalities of the city will be extended to those
who come up to the gathering. A train of
CARS will run from \Vest.port, (East side the
Harbor) to Bridgeport at 10 o’clock precisely,
in the morning, and leave Bi'idgaport‘at 4 in the
afternoon. This arrangement will afford many
an opportunity to attend with little or no ex-
pense, who could not otherwise attend.

 

'l‘o those who Love the Old Whig
0 Principles.

The time is now rapidly approaching when
the character of our national administration for
the next four years, we might; say for the next
twenty years, is to be determined. The
question is not simply whether Gen. Taylor,
or Mr. Cass shall be President of the United
States in 1849, but whether we shall have a
Whig Congi'ess,.a Whig Executive, a Whig
Government. WE think, that the question is
already in a great: mea_sure decided ; that the
voices which have come up from Pennsylvania
and Ohio, indicate clearly that the freemen of
those great States are tired of Locofocoism,
and Polk "and Cass misrule; yet we do most
earnestly desire that Old Connecticut shall be
found where she always has been in a Presi-
dential election-—_o,n the side of truth and right’.
VVe know that the. h;eart of our good old State
is_ \Vhig, thatit only needs a determined effort,
on the part of her \Vhig citizens. to give to Gen.
Taylor a larger purality than has been given
since 1832. Is there any reason why such an
effort should not be made? I On the contrary,
is there not every motive for redoubled exer-
tion ? The prospects before us ai'e_bri|liant—
we are certain that, if we wisbit, we can have
a \Vhig administration for the. noxtfour years.
Is there one of as, friends to the old Whig
cause, men who have battled for Harrison and
for Clay, for internal improvements, :1 protec-
tive tariff, for the Union as it is,,_for peace,.a_nd,
for freedom, who is now prepared.,to go-over
to the enemy, either the whole or half way?
Are WE to be enchanted too, by the spells of

. the Little Magician“! How would the hearts

of Polk, Cass. Walker‘ dc Co. rejoice at learn-
ing that the Whigs ‘of Old Connecticut were
about to th_row away. even a single vote upon
Martin‘Van Buren ; for they are cumiingipol_i-
ticians, and they know enough to be aware that
precisely such folly. elevated them to power in
1844,‘ and might do it again in 1848. But we
have no apprehension ofnny such result; the
Whigs of Connecticut are not yet insane, and
until they become so, they willsuppoit Whig
principles and Whig candidates, knowing full
wellvthat one cannot stand without the other.

But; we would say to our friends-we;-lmust
labor in the good ca_use.. Only a short .time is
left us, and we must Work yet more-.earnestly.
Letytlne documents be circulated; talk with
your neighbors and friends; come forth to the"
Whig gatherings; convert Iocofocos. Remain-
ber that the power is now in onrhands, if we

choose only to exert it. Theleneinyivis diagona-

Remember, A 
Men of Connecticut, that Lewis Cass wffitg
that the passage of the Wilmot.Proviso would
be “ death tothe War!” To him the butcher-
ing of innocent women and children, the fall of
thousan_ds~of his countrymen stricken by a and-
den deatli, the sorrows upon sorrows of thou-
sands of_ widows and orphans, were all more-
acceptable than the peaceable passage of an
ordnance, by which ourltelrritory might become
populated only with Freeman! i ‘
Remember,

Men of Connecticut, that Lewis Cass wrote
that the passage of the Wilmot Proviso would
be “ death to all hopes qf getting an acre qf ter-
ritory 1” The lust of acquisition, that overstepo
all limits we are as a Republic sworn to re-
spect, seems to have guided his principles. As
he has always lasted and labored for more
money—more money, so asPresident he would
be constantly lasting and laboring for more ter-
ritory—-more territory. More territory at all
hazards. We may not expend our mighty en-
ergies in getting to ourselves a solid and endur-
ing name, but must direct them all to the ac-
quisition of -more territory, if needs be, by con-
quest and by blood ! This is a political princi-
ple of Lewis Cass!

, ' ‘ Remember,

The Balt.imoi'eConvention has pledged Lewis
Cass to oppose the principle of Protection to
Home Labor. If he is elected, the whole
power of the government will be exerted to
em-icl1.the manufacturers of our own country.

Remember,

That Lewis Cass, through the Baltimore‘
Convention, has declared that a general system
for the improvement of our rivers and harbors‘
is unconstitutional. The policy of Locofocoisgm
is hostile to our Internal Commerce. They
can ex-pend thousands upon a survey of the‘
Dead Sea, but not a dollar to remove’ Snags and-
Sandbnrs from our own‘. Rivers. They can
commission a store oFNavn=l=‘of’licers to’a=nal3yzo'
the waters of a Lake in Palestine, but they can»
not expend it farthing. to build or improve Hart‘-
bors upon our own Lakes...

»Bemcmbcr‘ ,'

That while the true policy of this country in‘
Peace and Aniitywith other nations, Lewis‘
Cass, is the blustering advocate of ‘Var ant}
Conquest. Gen. Taylor is opposed to “leav-"
ing our own to stand upon foreign ground,"

the whole of Mexico. and the - Conquest of
Cuba, Canadaand‘ the West India Islands.
