 Remorks.-The above article in favor of Judge WeIch, we insert entire; although there is one sentence which ought not to have been written; if however it will do the cause Ofthe candidate any good wr are willing it should be made public. Such appeals to the Deity in relation to our political quarrels we consider highly censurable, and among a Christian people not calculated to advance the interests of the party. The friends of Mr Welch have no cause for complaint in regard to the course pursued by the friends of Dis trlcting. He was nominated by few men in legislative caucus last spring, and his name has been published on the caucus ticket. It would have been prcPosterous to have placed his name on the District Ticket, since he O. penly declares himself opposed to the district bill. Once he was its advocate. When as- sociated with Kirby, Judd, Sc. he considered the measure republican, and viewed the op- pone .ts of the bill as Federal Aristocrats; now he pursues the very course which his oppo- ncnts then pursued. If the electors are friend Iy to districting they will support MT Board man, an old-school, consistent democrat if they are friendly to the general ticket system. and caucus dictation, they will support judge Welch.

and were to be seen at ail corners, crying out Wolf! WOlf!-and thus by the basest arts, succeeding in gaining the confidence of the more unsuspiciOus and COnfding part of the Fox family but the experienced and more discerning insisted that they were not to be trusted; that the [" cloven fOOt' would ulti- mately peep out and that the Ethiopian had not changed his skin nor the leopard his spots. And it turned out finally, that a run away Wolf, in the garh of Fox, does not diff fer essentially from Wolf in sheep's cloth ing;" he is nothing but Wolf afier all, and will act upon Woifsh principles in spite of all you can do :-he will bite and devOur friend and foe, melted by greedy appetite for game. And thus it was with the heroes of this story. for they intrigued and combined together and finally succeeded in excluding the vete- rams of the Fox family from all participation in the spoil ;-and even those individuals who had rendered the most essential services, who had borne the heat and the burthen of the day." and had lad the foundations of ultimate success, were obliged to ask the picking of0 SPGrrO'O'S skeleton, as a matter of especial gracr and favOr." The conduct of the intru- ders excited universal disgust and indignation; and finally affairs came to a crisis; for one day when the family had assigned to a wor- thy member, on account ofhis entire devotion 10 the good cause from his youth up, his cor rect principles, and frmness in the hour ofper- Il, suitable reward ;--one of these bold in- trndcrs, possessing all the sterling propensities of bis tribe, rushed with great rudeness upon the veteran, and attempted to snatch from him the prey upon which all the genuine members of the Fox family rose up in arms, and nut the assaii;nt and his adherents out of tt'" camp, as enemies in disguise. Whereup- 'H 4fe faithful and honest members of both : :'ties immediately had an interview and npon a free interchange of sentiment, it was agreed that old subjects of dispute were en- tirely done away; and that all we'll disposed people could meet on the common ground of public good. It was then resolved, nemine controd;cente.t their territory should be dis- icted; and that suitable portions should be assigned to each family, so that they might both have reasonable and just proportion of the game, and that they would forever after live in harmony and peace.
 sfonAI.-Theu unembcrs of opposite parties, who have acted upon principle, may. when the grounds of difference are removed, trust each other with entire safety; but those who, from interested motives, desert their friends m the hour of danger, are not worthy of the least confidence, and will, sooner or later, es- sentially iniu iure the cause, in espolising which, they committed an act of treachery.

From the Hortford Times.

Agreeable to what we believe the best interest of the state and the prosperity ot the republican party we publish the dis trict ticket entire and call upon our fellow citizens throughout the state to lend it their cordial and hearty support. The candidates presented ,are generally known to the freemen, and prehaps no ticket could be made under the present improper and imperfect mode on which they could act with more unanimity or with better effect. On their election or defeat depends an im- portant principle, one that in prosperity and diversity has been land mark to the democratic party.
 In soliciting the republican electors of Connecticut,to to support the names we have given in this paper, let it not be supposed that we are actuated by personal partiali- ties,--no, they in some instances have been sacrificed that we might promote prin- ciple. The changes which have been made from the Legislative ticket, have however been honorable to the republican party. Their election will conduce to its union, for to secure it's ascendency and maintain its prosperity, they have toiled and laboured for many years, and have long been known for their devotion to our civil and political institutions. It has been a source of qualification to those who are friendly to districting and local nominations to witness the almost entire unanimity with which the republican party have moved throughout the State.
 The characters Of the candidates stand as pledgesfor their merit, and of the cause they will advocate. To supper, them is to support the cause of. repnblicanism and correct principal. We have too much con- fidence in the democratic electors, to be- lieve that they will be swerved from firm and honest discharge of their duty by tho spacious ard contemptatle arts of a few,

HON. JOHN WEIGH.

MT. SMITH,
 Your paper of the esd inst. contains the nomination of Homer Boardman, Esq. for Senator in the room of Hon. John Welch. beg leave Gas you cannot from your recent re- moval into tlis State be personally acquaint- ed with the minute history of it's potics,) to state few facts in relation to Judge Welch. He was soldier in the revolution, and sustai- ned commission; he was during Washing toms administration appointed Justice of Peace; in 1799 he was left out of the com mission because he was Democrat.
 He was then the intimate, personal, and po- litical friend of Kirby; in 1902 he was by the republicans put in nomination for Councillor and received 340O votes he remained in reg uar republican nomination until 1910. In 1906 he received 96OO votes, pure, unadulte- rated republican votes with the spirit then abroad it was something in point of persecu- ton like standing in the pillory.
 Old Democrat thank God are growing pop uiar, if so none have borne the tug of war with more fortItude & integrity thapJudge Welch. He was in democratic nominatiOn for cOun- cillor with Elijah Boardman whom republi- cans have rewarded for his long suffering, and with Kirby taken to the bosom of the nation al administration by President Jefferson {: Judge Welch alone among his compeers re- mains. The republicans in 1894 appreciating his woath and veteran services, placed him in nomination for Senator, he was elected to that office in 1895. Will old school republicans desert him now Somebody has said that Mr. Boardman is a better man; did the repubIi- cans from 1900 to 1910 entertain this senti- ment? No, he was among those martyrs of de- mocracy whose blood still cries from under the altar for an atonement.
 Let real republicans sustain him, and not dismiss him with ignOminy.
 Judge Welch was nominated unanimously last May bv the republican representatives Of

 India Rub6er.-The milky sap of which India Rubber is made has been carried from Mexic to England, where it has been applied to various fabrics which have been thereby rendered perfectly water tight. By placing layer of it between two layers of cotton, or silk, linen, leather, woollen, &c. the adhesion is so perfect that it seems to be but one web. Several folds of calico or linen cemented bv this substance produce material answering many of the purposes of leather, and sur- passing it in value.
 In this country the India Rubber, after being dissolved in the oil of turpentine, or coal tar, is applied to boots and shoes. 1t IS said that it renders them entirely proof against water, preserves the leather, and receives a beautiful polish

STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.

On Thursday evening, the 2ed inst. at 7 o'clock, the steaD boat Oliver Ells,corth, Opt. Ravens, with about 40 passengers, passed the lighthouse at Saybrook, on her passage to New-York, with heavy sea and wind to the southwest; and fifteen minutes before 8, with the engine in full motion, the boiler burst, by scollapsing the main Aue, and bursting out the furnace head. Ten persons were scalded, 8 of them dangerously. One of the fremen died the next morning, and was inferred at SaybroOk.
 The consternation and dismay which per vaded the boats company can be better con ceived than described. The calm, deliberate exertions of Capt Ravens to restore conf dence among the passengers, at that distress ing moment, is spoken of the highest terms.
 The engineer was at his station, and the cause of the accident cannot be ascertained. The boiler was iron.

COUNTY POST.
LITCHFIELD. MARCH ee, 1927.

An anonymous correspondent has subject ed us to tax of ten cents, for the important information, that Judge Niles, of Hartford, the Republican District candidate for Senator. is warm Jackson man and expresses vast astonishment that the people appear so will ling to give the influence of this state to the ' Military C!,ieltain.' We trust the people of Connecticut are not willing to give their 1 support to Gen. Jackson; but We trust they are willing. at the present time,--when the principles of Districting appear to be gaining ground, ito regard the wishes of their repub | lican brethren of Hartford county, and sup port the man of their choice, in relation to the candidate from that county. The Re- pubIcans of Hartford county will support Mr Niles, five can judge from appearances, and 1 if he is their oh, ice, they have right tosex- pect the cooperation of their republican brethren in other counties. It is ridiculous to call this change in Hartford county fede- raj innovation ;-the federal papers in Hart ford do not support MT. Niles, and that too, because he has always been firm and con- sistent republican. while Mr. Welles, to say the best of him, has always kept one foot in the old federal path. MT. Niles is republ- can--he is worthy of the confidence and SUD- port of republicans--he will be supported by republicans, not only in his own county, but throughout the state, and we trust also that hC viV hn nf fcn1 c1cf cfpnf fpAk ralists.
 The "Hartford Mercury" is the only Republican paper in the State which sup ports the Caucus Ticket entire. Ifthis be not an indication that the people are dis satisfied with Caucus dctation, and that they are determined to take the business of appointing their rulers into their own hands, we know not what could be considered fair expression of public feeling. The friends of the Caucus Ticket complain that the course now pursuing by republicans, is ungenerous, inasmuch as they have here toEore supported caucus tickets; and to reject it now is to cast contempt upon the members of the caucus, as also upon the candidates named by them ;--they assert that the discipline of the party requires that the caucus ticket should be supported, even if the men brought forward by it are not the first choice of the freemen. The course pursued by republicans is not un- generous, because they never delegated their representatives to appoint officers over ,hen,-they have heretofore submitted to an evil, rather than create contention; but when the evil had grown into an abuse, they could not, with justice to themselves. submit to it any longer. We will speak of the candidate for Congress from this conn- ty, in exempli6cation of the subject. MT: Merwin is the decided choice ofthe old re- publicans of Litch6eld county; and had he been nominated for re-election, the nominating caucus would have consulted or acceded to, the wishes of their constitu- ents; and no ground of complaint would have been preferred against them, although the principle, bad in itself, would not have
