Addressed to:

Julius B. Harrison, Esq.
Clerk of the House of Representatives
New Haven, Conn.

Goshen, June 16, 1850

Friend Harrison,

I make this second communication to you under the impression that you are familiar with the unrelenting domineering course with which the Whigs make war on the Democrats. There is no town in the state where the Democrats have to fight harder for their rights than in Goshen. My journey to New Haven was solely to ask the favor of adhering to our wishes.

I felt quite secure after forwarding the petition and remonstrance against Ives as it was a full expression of Democracy, that it should be disregarded never entered my mind. To my frustration, the Whigs are trumpeting around the streets with a great deal of joy saying they have got six Whig justices, everything they wanted. We are dependant on our Democratic friends hoping they will give a helping hand and straighten out the thing in the Senate.

Our nomination gave the same number of justices, they have given us for two years past. I must humbly ask the cooperation of our friends hoping they will see justice done. Hollalind defeated good.

Yours,

M. Nurton
