It is hoped that the reader will not pass lightly over this subject, hut will examine it io all its bearings, recollecting that it is the common class el* people whose interests are to be attacked, ad that aristocrats of the highest orders are to be gain sed over, and brought in to share the spoils of \merican liberty. If tjre people are seasonably aware of iibese designs, the dasger will be les sened, as they will been thpir guard, and prepared to meet and pst down their internal as well as external enemies. That the crowned beads ‘•T'hurmpe meditate an aua-k upon us, whenever the internal affiirs of our country shall present a pros per of success, we hove no doubt. The American people should, there fore, be very watchful <f the tie sign” U’ and operaiions of those of our **priouipai citizens” who “would not he disple sed to 9oe a change which would place them at the head of the government oft heir country.” They should refer to and not has liy discard the party and the men that have s-caddy supported their rights and Interests in (he mida* of former difficulties and tri ai; nor should *hey hastily bestow their confided e oo me > of and fiVreni characters, whose interest it now is to beguile them wish false pro fessions. Above all, they should adheto steadily to tbosV republican sys euis. wiii 4 ti have thus far per peuaied our fair instilutir oa, and secured the triumph of republican principles. There are many fa ts and con sideratio <s w!ii h present themselves to ihe m<!id of the attentive observ er. li wa’ the opi >ion of President Vlooroe. who is allowed to be a mo derate man, and who ought to k tow th.> there has been a mmarchicul party in ibis country; and no one P‘‘e r *ds to give a M y account of it: But if we look about us. we shall s e men who weie leaders of that party, and who as late as the tune ol the las; state convention, oppos ed the extension of popular privile ges, now ptolVssmg io be the exclu sive fi lends of **the people,” and to originate measures exclusively for their he eli*.— The fable of the cat in the tub of meal, exhibits their characters aud motives. Such a party as Mr. Monroe speaks of, connected with the enemies ol* liber ty abroad, would nuturaJy wish to gain the confidence of the people by he use of extravagant profess ions, to foment divisions aud dis card amongst the real friends of the country, and to weaken the govern ment, and create cos*fusion by means of innovations an estab ished usages. The first step we might expert from such a party, after suitable eff *rts to retrieve their lost standing iviih the people, would be aa attempt to eontrcul the choice of ihe executive of the nation To eff*;*t this, it seems to have been thought neoessary to impair the confidence of the people in the old . democratic mode of designating j candidates for offi- e, and thus to ! prevent a roncert of art ion in the democratic party, whose discipline ! and union have heretofore saved the ! country in the hour of peril. Am bitious and aspiring men, by throw ing national Dominations into dis ( credit, calculated so to divide the ‘ electoral votes among a aumber of candidates, as to carry the choieo i of President and V. President into | the House of Represenlaitves, where j the election might be decided by a ! very small mioority of the repre t sentatives of the people, in whiah case the President would not be con sidered as the ehhioe of the nation. The result would be that the Presi dent would not poises* the confidence either of eongresi or the peple— sectional jealousies and heart burn ing would ensue, producing conse quents the roost unfavorable to the stability of our institutions. Simi lar views may have originated the attempts to alter the electoral law of this Mate. These attempts were expected to procure popularity for those who never had deserved it by Itherr former conduct. An altera tion of the law at the preseat time, w is atouidted, by dividing tue vVe oT this state, to faoilitate tbc p!in of earning the eboue of President into the House of Representatives; and aWo to prevent a desirable a- HU'sdment of the U S. constitution, \ whuh, if perfected, would add sta bility to the government. The ag ita’i nos aew topics, on which a difference of opinion was likely to a. rise, was expected to divide those who Imd ever anted together ia sup port sf republican principles. And ‘divide aud conquer,” we know is a favorite motto wuh ihe fric ids of monarchy in every country* It is stated in the document so whi -h we have referred, tha* <*the arialo ratiral spirit was mst per. eeptiblei i the towns,” meaning our lilies and large villages. This may account for the disposition mauifes ted by me Cliutouians to manage nosi of their political coneerns by village meetings , which they falsely oiyie ••tfounty meetings,” although ney well know that the peopie of a waoie oounty net.her cau nor will come 20 30, or *0 miles to attend them. The natural tendency us their mode of proceeding, is to place , Hie poiiiicai concerns of a large dis j iriii , ai the disposal of o io of these I aristocratic villages We are not j to suppose that ail who reside in a - are aristocrats, although a l irge number are always i flueaoed by such. In Auburn, ad nost us oar large villages, federas-s ii aud Cliiityoiaidsm have ever predomi’ia •rd ..The aristoerais are those who value ihe eiivumsianc.es of birth s fortune, &c. as placing them above other oiiizeris of equal or superior merits. They are rbe men spoken of by Mr. Monroe as monarchical, ami relied upon by the Russian min isler for the overthrow of our gov ernment. They are now uousually prominent aud active in political matters, e <deavomg to aiquire popularity, and to scatter dis fd and uotfusion amongst the tried friends of the people. Presidential Election in Con * necticut. Extract if a letter f om a Kepubli can . f high standing ia VoniLCt icut, “It has been repeatedly affi med in the ultra prints, that Mr. L.yt mas, a Senator, from this state, of the United States, has been con signed to ffisgraee by his constitu ents, in cofisequeoee of his attend ance at the nanotial meeting of Re publicans at the Captiol in Washing ton, who oommaied Wm, H. Cbaw fokd for the Presidency; aud that, io | this respect, Vlr. Lanman has sha redthesaniie fate wiHi the other members ofCungreis from this state, ; whn attended the National Caucus, • From this assertion, it would ap i pear that the constituents of these gentlemen had offi Ully expiessed l an opinion on the merits of their J (ionduot. Such is not the fact . But i it is true, that, in a legislative ©aa. j eus at New Haven, Mr. Laamao ! has not been re nominated to the Senate of ihe U ited S*ates, with | er has Mr. Whitman, who was one of those who s gned the protest | against the Paucus, been re nominu ! nated ! Neither have Messrs. Steu ling fad Foote, who did not at j tend the Caucus, been re nominated! i The truth is, that io general io? { stances, the priaciple of rotation in offi e is respected in this state; and, j oo this principle, Mr. Lanman was ! oot entitled, as io my opinion no - Senator is entitled, to a re nomina- Itioo. Such, however, were ihe popularity and infiuenee of Mr. Lacman, that, though he was not re nominated, yet the Senate and House of Representatives of the State have not appointed a sueessor, and could not agree. Mr. Edwards, 1 from this state, of the U. States’ * Senate, had merely been appointed by the Governor, ad interim, to supply l^e v a* an ®y occasioned by the lamented death of Mr, Bsard man; and the Governor's appoint < meat io this instance was confirm ; ed, as is my opinion it oghtto have j been.

Wiill respect so the senlimtuts of this state on the presidential qies tion, it is true that, at the time that V|p.
