Mr. Smith ;-You will confer particular favor
by inserting from the columbian Register"
the leading democratic paper in the state, the
following editorial article in support of the
Republican District Ticket. w.
From the Columbian Register.
On comparing the above list with the Le-
gislative Ticket, it will be found that seven
of the names are on the Ticket. The other
gentlemen have been nominated either
by public meetings or public feelings. A
comparison Of the qualifications of these
gentlemen with those remaining on the
Caucus Ticket, will convince every rcfec-
ting independent republican, that the a.
bove Ticket is a great improvement on
the other, both as it regards talent and pub
lie sentiment in the immediate neighbour
hood of each candidate. AS every free
man is supposed to possess that indepen-
dence which alone renders him worthy the
enjoyments Of freeman's rights, we pub
lish the above names, together with the
entire Legislative Ticket, and leave each
voter to decide for himself whether he
will support one ticket or the other, or
part Of them, or none of them. We know
this to be a choice Of great number OF
republican freemen, who will give it their
hearty support. If they are out-voted by
those friendly to Legislative Caucus
Nominations and opposed to District
liz. we shall announce the fact after the
election.
1t is propernow to inform our readers
that two gentlemen nominated by County
meetings have not been incorporated in
the above Ticket. One of them is Gen.
Enoch Foote, of Bridgeport. He is very
worthy gentleman, and has acted with the
republicans for number of years but
his time is probably and constantly en-
ploycd in commercial business, and there
are many friends Of districting who do not
discover any good reason why Mr.. Twee-
dy, who is a very worthy and sound re-
publican, should give place to the Gener-
al. Mr.. Wildman, also nominated in
County meeting, is an old uniform repub-
lican, gentleman Of talents, and of
good property acquired by his own indus
frequently represented the town
of Danbury--has been Judge of the County
Court, and was turned out last spring for
the crime of being in favour Of District
ing. He was one of the sacrifices which
the Rev. David Hill required should be
offered up, according to the custom of the
levites. Mr.. Wildman has spent more
time and talents in the cailsecof republic
anism, than scole s of such men as Senator
Hill, and others that could be named.
Mr.. Hill has been Senator eight wears,
which is about as long as a man of his
malevolcnt temper should be entrusted
with power at one time. He is Judge of
Probate, and we hope he may retain the
Office we presume there is no prudent
and fair-de aling republican who wishes
him to experience the same judgment
without mixture of mercy which he has
meted out to others. We likewise presume
that there are few who would wish to de-
prive him of the office of colleague to the
Rev. r. V. Dey.
The other gentleman nominated in
County meeting whose name is omitted a
bove, is Mr.. Thomas Marther, who we
understand is an old republican, man of
talents, and possessed of considerable
wealth; but as there are no serious objec-
tons to Mr.. Alsop, who is a very amiable
worthy man, we hope he may still be sus-
tanned by those who nominated Mr.. Mar
Their. II is very generally believed that
Mr.. Alsop is in favor Of districting ); he felt
a delicaey in declaring his views on the
subject, which it has been limited to US was
the principle reason why his nomination
was not confirmed by the County nee.
ting.
Mr.. BrOckway, very respectable re-
publican residing at Lyme, who has FREE
quently represented that town in the Le-
gislature, was nominated at the Newton
