To the I-’eople of Comiecticut.
Fi:Li.ow Cirizi-:Ns :—Tlie period of our
annual State Election is near at hand.—-
The interest which attaches to it, is only
second to that which stirred the heart of
this ancient Commonwealth on the 4th of
November last. The parties to that
struggle are now array ed for another con-
test, and you are called upon to adhere
to, orreversc, ‘your recent judgment.-
Under_.tl_i_ese,.eircumstances,we ask your
calm ;o..,t_t',e_i_i',tl_i.‘t)“i"i""t;gfi, the following considera-
. -:f '44 -'u. -2.. ‘-‘
_, leifi -"_‘ _at they ought to be of
;,‘_ing your action.
TheIA'dn'iinistfation of FRANKLIN Pisnci:
is at an end. "It" has been regarded by
the people of Connecticut not merely as
a failure, but as something infinitely
worse.
By its foreign policy,‘as developed in
the. bombardment of Greytown, and
the sanctioning of national robbery at the
Ostend conference, it has done what it
could to render our country at once odi-
ous and contemptible in the eyes of civili-
zed nations,
By its domestic policy, in making the
preservation and expansion of slavery
the chief object of governmental concern,
it has brought reproach upon republican
institutions, and betrayed the cause of
libc.rty.
Ithas violated its own solemn pledges,
deliberately made upon its inauguaration.
It has removed the ancient landmarks,
and opened up every acre of our national
territory to the-inroads of the system of
human bondage. It has seen an infant
Commonwealth, which it was under every
obligation to protect overrun and subju-
gated by the citizens of a neighboring.
State, . under circumstances of infinite.
cruelty and wrong, and has not only re-
fused to prevent the outrage, but when
completed, has deliberately sanctioned it.
It has abandoned the great principles
of democratic equality, upon which our
institutions are based, and has made a
system of slave-holding aristocracy para-
mount in the administration of the govern-
ment. _.
And because the Adminstration of
F1-..iNxi.1N Prunes had done-these things,
45,330 of the electors of Connecticut, on
the 4th of last November, pronounced
upon it their unequivocal condemnation.
For thus exercising your rights as free-
men, thePresident of the United States,
in his annual message of last December,
descending from his high position as Chief
Magistrate of the Republic, into the low
arena of party malignity and slander, de-
nounced you as hypocrites,wbo “ pretend-
.“ ing to: seek only to prevent the spread
“ of the instiutiou of slavery into the pres-
“ cut or future inchoate States of this Un-
“ion, are really inflamed with desire to
“ change the domestic institutions of ex-
“ isting States ;” .as falsifiers, “ who seek
“ an object which they well know to be a
“ revolutionary one,” “by calumniating
“ with indiscriminating invective, all who
“ do not participate with them in their
“assaults. upon the Constitution.;” as
“ traitors,»who endeavor to prepare the
“people .'of the United States for civil war,
“ by doing-everything in their power to
“ deprive the Constitution and Laws of
“ moral authority,” and who would pro-
“mote” - their object, while “perfectly
“ aware” that "‘ the only path to its accom-
“ plisliment is .'through burning cities and
“ rayaged fields, and slaughtered popu-
“ lations, andall there is most terrble in
-“ foreign, ,complicated with civil and ser-
“ vilp war.” , ; .
Such,-fellow citizens, are the mild and
dignified terms in which the President .of
theUnited States rebukes you for con-
demning him: '
But, you" may ask, why “recall these
things, with which we are already familiar,
even -to loathing? Why bring to remem-
brance the sins of the dead Administra-
tion ? _ -Mr. BUCHANAN is President now,
and from him we may hope for better
things. 1 _ _
We, too, had entertained such a hope,
butit is ‘dispelled. Although the Cincin-
nati Convention, which nominated Mr.
BUCHANAN, "and whose platform was to
furnish the guiding principles of his Ad-
ministration, did resolve that it regarded
“ with unqualified admiratiau, the measures
and policy of FRANKLIN Pinncn,”——-yet, we
‘were willing to consider this as an empty
compliment to the disappointed candidate
for-nomination, audwe have looked ear-
nestly for some indica.tion of a promise of
better things in the future. We have
looked in vain. " The first Buchanan Con-
veiitioniii“ Connecticut since -the Presi-
dential election, met in Hartford, on the
18th da.y "of-February, 1857, nominated
the State ticket,- which is now presented
for your suffrages, and adopted, as its
cardinal principle, the following resolu-
tion : ' ‘
“' Resoli-erl, That we cliecrfully acknowl-
edge the’ ability and integrity whichhavc
distinguished the Administration ofFrank-
lin Pierce, and tliiituit is with feelings of
peculiar pride, that we point to the fact
that ei'eryiii_éasurc of the present Ad-
ministration ’l'i'as been in harmony with
the Constitution, and has been dictated
by a sense of fidelity to the obligations it
imposes.”
Thus the Buchanan party of Connecti-
cut enters upon its first canvass for the
popular favor, with a distinct endorse-
- mciit of allthe iniqnities of the past dy-
nasty. It proclaims, boldly, that the new
rule" is to be but the continuation of the
old.’ It re-afiirms all the insults, which
Franklin Pierce has heaped upon the 45.‘
330 frcemeu of our Commonwealth, who
dared to vote against his successor last
November. '
Fellow-citizens, it was in view of this
resolution, that we recalled the circum-
stances detailed in a preceding portion of
I.lllS‘Il(l(ll‘€SS. ’ You, who made up that
host of 45,000 freemen, whether youwere
Democrats or \Vliigs, Americans or Re-
publicans,——you were not what the late
I’resident has charged you with having
been; you were not hypocrites, calum-
niators, or traitors ; you love the Union
and the Constitution as well,—-nay, bet-
tier thanever Franklin Pierce did ; and
you love Liberty too, which -he has learn-
ed to hate. Can you vote for men to
govern this Commonwealth, who declare
beforehand, that, had they occupied his
position, they would have done all he has
done.——said all he has said? God for-
bid! -
Can you, by so voting, acknowledge
yourselves justly subject to the insults
which he has heaped upon you, and which
the Buchanan Convention of the 18th of
February has re-afiirined?
W'e think we know you better. But.
not ‘-only -has the Pro-slavery party ‘of
Connecticut declared that the new Ad-
ministration is to be but the continuation
of the old. James» Buchanan has liim-
self made the same announcement. In
his Inaugural address, he informs the
-country, that it was a “ happy concep-
tion,” which removed the time-honored
‘land-mark against the encroachments of
slavery ; and this, not to allow the
pcopleof the Territories, through their
Legislative ‘A ssemblics, to decide the ques-
ition for themselves, but to permit the free
iiiigress of bondage into every part of the
national domain, until such time as State
Constitutions shall come to be formed,
wl_1ich, in his opinon, will be the appro-
priate period for such decision. -
_ In making this announcement, the Pres-
ident carries to their logical results the
principles of his predecessor ;‘ he’ repudi-
ates the doctrines of nearly every coiiser-
vative statesman of the Republic, from
its foundation to the present time, and
adopts the extreme dogmas of Southern
Disunionists,——-.of such men as Calhoun,
Butler, Toombs, and Jefferson Davis.
He relies, indeed upon the Supreme
Court to sustain him ; and that, too, with
a confidence which manifested as it was,
in advancement of the recent decision of
that tribunal, indicates his complicity in
the scheme, that was to produce, as the
grand result of his election, and the
crowning triumph of his inauguration,_the
first deliberate perversion of judicial pow-
cr, which has darkened the annals of the
Republic.
For, let us consider briefly, what this
decision is.‘ Dred Scott, a. slave in Mis-
souri, was taken by his master, ‘in the
year 1836, into the territory north of that
State, and over which the prohibition of
slavery, contained in the Missouri Com-
promise, was then operative, and there
held for the period of two years._ If that
prohibition was valid, Scott, by this _act
of his master, became free. The five
Southerndudges of ‘the Supreme Court,
constituting a majority of ‘ one, thereof,
hold the Missouri restriction to be uncon-
stitutional and void, and remand their
victim to perpetual bondage. And this
decision is based upon the assertion that
the Constitution recognizes and’ guarran-‘
ties the right of property in man ; the pro-
hibition of slavery in the territories, is"
pronounced an interference with, and di-
vesting of this right, which is beyond.thc
power, both of Congress, and of the peo-
ple of the territories themselves ; and
necessarily every territory of the Union,
Minnesota, Oregon, Nebraska, Wash-
ington, Utah and New Mexico, as well as
Kansas, are to-day, in their legal relation,
slave territories. Free institutions, if they
can exist at all under this construction of
the Constitution, are confined to the
States where they are established by pos-
itive cnacment, and slavery has become
theuniversal law of the Republic.
But this is not all. Dred Scott was
ta.ken, by his master, into the free STAT
of Illinois, and there held by him for two
years prior to his departure to the north-
west territory. By an nniiiterriipted
course of judicial decisions running through
a period of fifty years from the foundation
of the republic,- Scott by this sojourn, in
a free state, with the permission of his
master, became himself free. But the
same majority of the Supreme Court,
holds that even the sovcriguty of a State
falls prostrate and powerless before this
omnipoteut right of poroperty in man, and,
so far as judicial power can go, blasts
and pollutes the entire free soil of the
North, with the curse of human bondage,
whenever the slavelioltler shall will it.-
Ronuiir Tooiias may now will the roll of
his slrwes at thcfaot of Bunker IIiI1.
Fellow-citizens, who are these men, that
have discovered that WASHINGTON, HAM-
-ILTON, MADISON, SHERMAN, and others
who made the Constitution, did not know
what it meant, when in the first N ation-
al Congress,_they re-enacted the prohibi-
tion of slavery in the Northwest territo-
ry ?‘ Who are they, that are wiser than
those lights of American Jurisprudence
ELLSWORTH, JAY, MARSHALL, and Sronv?
better versed in constitutional law than
.WEBSTER, CLAY, BADGER, and CRITTEN-_
DEN? Five partisan judges, of ‘sec-
tional education and opinion, and
deliberately foisted into the places which
they occupy, for the purpose, when the
“ appropriate period” should arrive, of
building up the tottering walls which sup-_
port the institution of slavery.
Not only is this decision the more de-
cision of a partizan majority bnt_ it is
not even properly possessed of judicial
authority. ' The judgement of ii Court,
to be of binding force, must be upon the
cascwhich is before it; in the case of Dunn
Scorr, the majority declared, in ‘he out-
set, that the Court had no jurisdiction,
because Scorr was nota citizen. Here,
then their duties ended, and all that fol-
lows is of no further weight, than as the
individual opinions of the persons who
uttered it. But this consideration lessens
not the infamy of the attempt to pervent
all law and all reason to sustain a system
of injustice and oppression.
The Buchanan press of this State, true
to their nature, are seeking to raise a
fase issue, by utterly ignoring the portions
of the decisionbefore detailed, and dwell-
ing mainly upon that part which denies
the citizenship of the negro. That the
decision was ludicrously wrong in this re-
spect, will‘be preceived at once, when it
is rccollected, that, at the time of the
adoption of the Constitution, free negroes
were citizens in a majority of the origi-
ual States ; but this, after all, is a point
of secondary importance. \Vhu-t we have
ever contended|for, what we now contend
for, is, the right of the runs wiim‘. MAN to
go, with his i.ABon. his most valuable prop-
erty, into the common territories of the
Republic, without the danger of having
that property destroyed by the compe-
titiou of the negro slave.
The Decision of the majority of the Sn-
preiuc Court is the most fatal blow ever
struck at FRI-IE Lxnon, in this or any
other land, and the time has fully come,
when every man whose lot in life calls
him to daily toil, whether in the field or
the work-shop, should awake to the stern
necessity of maintaining unimpaired the
rights which God hath given him. The
decision is the deadliest attack upon true
Democracy ever made in our national his-
tory ; for it establishes, as the law of the
Republic, a system of Aristocracy, which
utterly denies all rights to him who works
for his daily bread. '
But, this judgment, such as it is, the
new President accepts as the law of the
Confederacy, and, -in common with him,
we shall submit to it, so long as it re-
mains uureverscd ; but, we remember the
‘many judicial decisions that have been
made in the olden times of the mother
country, in favor of tyranny—dccisions,
quoted now only as exhibiting the servil-
ity of the judges who pronounced them ;
and we shall await, with patience, the
coming day, when the Judicial, Execu-
tive, Legislative departments of our » gov-
ernment shall be purified by the legitimate
action of run PEOPLE, and shall restore, to
its wanted supremacy, the faith of the
Fathers of the republic. '
And now, fellow citizens, in the light
of these things, how have you been .per-
sistently cheated and betrayed by the
party, in this commonwealth, which,_.on
the 18th of Febr’ua.ry, 1857, endorsed
“ EVERY iii:Asuns” of the Administration
of ,FRA\'LIN PIERCE. You were told, at
the time of the passage of the Kansas.-Ne
braska Act, that, by that measure, the
people of the territories were to “be left
free to admit or exclude slavery as they
pleased. “ PopiI._la.r sovereignty,” “ the
rights of the m0j0T2ly,” “ the decision of the
people them-eZcs,”—sucli were the suspicious
phrases, that were sounded in your ears,
to beguile you from your love of libety
and your allegiance to duty. With you,
the pretence was iinavailing, but it sulfi-
ced to give New Jersey, Pennsylvania. In-
diana and Illinois to the Pro-slavery party,
and Mr. Bccii.-iN.iN was elected.
the first utterances of ‘the govci'nincn't,
under his Administration, repudiate all
this fair promise, and surrender the Ter-
ritories, so long as they are Territores,
unconditionally to Slavery. Au illustra-
tion will best exhibittlic practical opera-
tion of the-new doctrine.
A considerable period must necessarily
ritory audits admission as a State. Thus
Minnesota was organized in 1849 ; Utah
and New Mexico in 1850. The first, af-
ter the expiration pjf eight years, is about
to form a State onstitution. A yet
longer term will bcrcquircd for the others.
And during all this time, these and all
otlaer Teatitoritci-ls arebleft oyplm to fslavctrly,
an uei or e po e iereo or e
National Congress canlexclndc it. A des-
perate effort is to be made to acquire
the border States of Mexico, including
Lower California, Sonora, Chihuahua,
glqahnila New L_eop and Tamauii‘pas_.t-(-)-
e mus remain or cars in a erri -
rial ycondition, and iiith absolutely‘ ow
power to prevent the ingress of that in-
can laws at present prohibit, The slave
owners emigrate thither, taking with them
their human chattles ; time passes on, till
the latter are numbered by thousands,
and the period arrives for the fomation
of a State Government. There is perhaps,
a majority of free -State nien—bnt the
slave owner protests against being de-
prived of his property,-—_against any, in-
fringment of his rested/rights, without
compeusatioii ; the market value of the
peculiar property is already counted by
millions; Congress can afford no relief, for
it to the ransom of a bondman ; the
Territory connot pay the enormous tax
which the emancipation of the slaves with-
in its limits, by a free constitution, would
impose, and so the State is formed with-
out the prohibition of bondage, and two
Senators, with an appropriate number
of Representatives, are added to the slave
wer.
We have thus suppososed a case, where
the majority of the Territorial inhabitants
are free state men, and shown how this
new doctrine binds even that majority
hand and foot. But our supposition
even has been too favorable to liberty, for
the free white loborer will not migrate
where-his toil must enter into competition.
with the unrequited labor of the negro
slave, and "where work, the duty assigned
by Providence to man, is rendered ' dis-
graceful as appropriate to the servitude
alone. Unless the system, which has
been inaugurated with Mr. BUCHANAN, be
overthrown, it is a "moral impossibility
that another free state can ever be formed
of lattitude 40 deg. the lattitude of cen-
tral Penusylvania, Indiana, and Illlinois.
-The duplicity which has thus marked
the course of the Pro’-slavery party, be-
comes, if possible, more heinous still, in
its application to the Territory of Kansas.
Your vote, last November, was an unmis-
takable indication of your determination,
that, there, . at least, should be a Free
State{ Immediately preceding and subse-
quent to‘ the Presidential Election, there
was a temporary and deceitful lull in the
storm which had raged in that unhappy
territory. We were assured that the
danger had passed, and we received the
assurance with heartfelt joy. We even
assisted to spread the tiding through public
speeches, by the press, and by every other
meausin our power. But we were deceiv-
ed. The power, which had fastened its
gripe upon Kansas, had never, for one
moment,‘ loosened its hold. ' Although
the House of -Representatives in Congress
passed an ‘Act repealing the infamous
Territorial code of laws, the Senate, filled
with the partizans of Mr. Buc_iiANAN, re-
jected the beneficial statute. The mock
Legislature of the Territory has adjourn-
ed, leaving’ that code still substantially in
force, and has added the last measure to
its iniquity, by enacting that disobedience to
its requirements SHALL an nnni-:Li.ioN, PUN-
isuAiu.u wrm nmrn. -It has "provided
for a Convention to form a State Consti-
tution in an Act, framed with malignant
ingenuity, to secure . a majority of Pro-
slavery delegates in that Convention ; and
by a monstrous perversion ‘of power, his
authorized the body ‘thus chosen, to es-
tablish .a Constitution for Kansas,
without any provision for its ratification
by the people. ' So alpably iniquitous
was‘ this scheme, t at Gov. Geary
was compelled to interpose? his veto
against its adoption, and it was immediate-
ly re-passed in ostentatious defiance of
that veto. It is now’ oi-*.nrAiN,.that be-
fore ’ Congress shall meet again, a slave
Constitution will be framed for Kansas,
and the next National Legislature will be
called upon to crown, with complete suc-
cess, the long series of fraud, treachery,
outrage, and oppression,‘which have been
perpetrated in the name of insulted De-
mocracy, upon the soil once consecrated
to Freedom.
Fellow citizens, of Connecticut ! how
will you be represented in that Congress ‘P
For, remember that, by the very judicial
decision, on which we have commented,
the only refuge for Kansas now, is in the
next Congress. The National Legisla-‘
there ; the people of the Territory cannot
exclude it ; it is only when the Pro-slavery
faction which rules it shall ask admission
into the Confederacy, that it can be reach-
ed ; and that, by no power, ‘except the
Congress which may admit it or not, ‘as
sound discretion shall dictate. How,
then, will you be represented in that Con-
gress ? Will you now believe those_,_.who
have thrice and four times attempted to
deceive you? TVill you trust those, who
avow their approval of “ nvunv .\ii:Asuni:”
of the Administration of FRANKLIN
PIERCE ? ‘
you any thing and every thing, and equal-
ly ready, as heretofore, to_ betray you.—-
They rely, mainly, upon your inaction ;
conscious of their minority, in "our noble
State, they yet inteud,.by specious pro-
mises,-by money, by secret, but perfect
organization, to bring out their full
strength, on _thc first Monday of April,
trusting your supineuess for vieitory.
Let us urge you, therefor to begin. your
organization riow ,- gather up you voting
lists of last’ November ; awaken the spirit
which animated you then, and every
patriot shall have reason to rejoice in the
result. '
This is no common struggle ; the old-
time battle between Liberty -and Slavery,
between Democratic equality and Aristoc-
ratic oppression, is being fought ‘over
again. For the time, wrong is in the as-
cendant, in the high places of the -Repub-
lic. With patience, with fortitude, with
manlyenergy, let us struggle on, for the
long delayed but ultimatly certain triumph
of the right.-
Especially let _ Connecticut maintain
the old New England honor, the old New
England love of liberty, which have done_
so much to make our country what it is.
Our opponents cannot plead their cause
before you, without trampling on’ the
graves of their fathers, and casting cou-
tumely on the States which shelters them.
Our candidates are in the field ; all,
worthy of the support of freeman ; our
.principles are the. doctrines of the fathers of

The sun of November shone gloriously on
our dawning strength ; letnot the shadow
go back upon the dial when April shall
call that strength once more into action.

Mr. Stark‘ Poem.
This production of Mr. Stiirk’s was qiiiteioi
enthusiastically received on the occasion of ‘it’:
repetition as when first given. The audience
was not large, of coui-sc,(iliat could not be ex-
pected in Norwalk at a purely literary enter-
taiument,)but~it was appreciative and compo.-_
soil of our best citizens. 'We~noticed many
from adjoining towns prescnthand, all seemed ,
immensely pleased with the sallies of wit and
keen humor which flashed from his Poem. As
a poetical composition, both in sentiment and
rhythm, it surpasses anything we have ever
heard since the ‘introduction of the popular
Lecture system. The most prominent feature
of the Poem, was the high moral tone perva-
ding it throughout; and the diversity of grave
and gay added to an unusually attractive de-
livery, kept the bearer on the tiptoe of delight
to its conclusion. Although many of his bu-
morons conceits ‘were the funniest we, ever
"encountered, the‘, following vivid couplets, re-
calling to us all the horrors of the Norwolk
Disaster, brought the pearly tear to many an
eye in the audience.’ After I very touching
allusion to the death of the President’: only
son at Andover, and the smash-up on Ibo Cen-

Messrs. Knapp Gr Lyrics have a preparation
of the Dandelion Root, which is intended as B
healthful subsiitute for Coffee, and which is
certainly a very pleasant counterfeit of the
“ Prime old Java." It is said to possess a
tonic property healthful and invigorating.
They also have a fine thing in the way of toi-
lette soap made of Glycerine, which is I flue
thing for producing a loft and healthful con-'
dition of the skin. . A capital thing for in-
fants, or ladies with chapped hands, or gentle-
men who are green enough, (in an effort to
look feminine,) to shave, and thereby have
chapped, cracked, out, sore, and horribly ten-

M The Patriot, I’icrce’s especial organ in
New Hampshire, does not conceal its
mortificatiou. It says: “This result is
more disastrous to the Democracy than
we expected, we freely admit. Itis true,
we did not anticipate 0. Democratic vic-
tory ; but we hoped for at least a partial
one——that we should divide the field with
the enemy-that a drawn battle would
be the result of the contest. But the ag-
gregate vote is much larger than. we an-
ticipated. It is, in a word, ii. complete,
sweeping black republican triumph.———
They have‘ carried their Governor by
over 3000 majority ;' they have elected
their three members of Congress ; they
have carried the Council, the Senate and
the House. In view of these prominent
and decisive facts and with the imperfect
returns before us, it is hardly worth while
to speculate about details.” _
The Manchester American says : “N ew
Hampshire has again achieved a proud
and noble victory. No State in the Un-
ion isentitled to "more credit for the high
position it has taken in behalf of Justice,
Freedom and Humanity. ~ That State
which was the citadel into which the
forces of the sham democracy so long re-
treated-—that State which was to its
party what Vermont was to the Whigs
—becoming so thoroughly revolutionized
and imbued with right principles, has
againfor, the fourth time, rebuked and re-
pudiated that party, whose only object
now is to snbjugate the whole North and
West to the dominionofthc Slave Power.
Her honest hearted yeomanry have plant-
ed themselves upon -the battlement of
Freedom and the Constitution and their
flag to-day waves in triumph. Let us
rejoice over it, as we have reason to,
looking forward to the time when the
same proud banner which we have furled
to the breeze, shall wave over the nation’s
Capitol. Let us-hope‘ that the victory
we have just achieved, shall be followed
by all the free States, until we shall have
an Administration, and a tribunal of J us-
tice at the seat of the Government, whose
vocation shall be to aid Freedom rather
than Slavery, and execute" Justice rather
than high-handed Wrong !”
