 The following extracts relative to the Senatorial Nominations and Distrcting, recommend themselves to republicans coming from source which cannot be accused ofFedera partialites To sentiments like these, we can respond hearty "so mote it be;' a- though they come from the N. E. Weekly Revew.- Notwithstanding the unnecessary zeal displayed by the editor of this paper in his first numberwe believe he will prove powerful auxiliary to the cause of po- litical peace and prosperity in this state. His fine abilities as writer, together with his apparent catory disposition ofmind, must in short time rem der him averse a contention about obsolete It would be well to mention that the Review supports the Ticket have given, with the exception of Fair field county, whefe the names of Tweedy and Betts arc used instead of Wildman and Baldwin.
 The at,emptis made by such as are friendly to 1hc County nominations" 10 identify the support of the Irregular tcket' with the prosperity of the Re- publican party" They cannot be identified.

Let it then be exercised at the approaching crisis. Let the arrogated authority o ahe few be disregarded, wherever they are opposed to the acquisitions of truth and patriotism, and let view no other object as paramount that of ap- .oointng men to office, whose profession and practice had constituted reasonable assurance that they will confo with the sews of the people in the discharge of their public functions
 We have felt indignant at hearing 1t said that the "Democratic party would be ruined by disrsgardine the County Nomnations" Has the principle o County nominations been supported exclusively bS Republieansl No will say it. The federalisi, have shewn equal engagedness in supporting it. RnC every politician knows that its general adoption woulC have the effect to increase rather than diminish the federal power. To the general system of County examinations we are not opposed. We will mos cheerfullV render them suDpoFt, wherever theFS
