which guided our conduct
 D. But we have not only acted together as to 1 national affairs; but also there has been in 1 the district a surprising unity of effort, with respect to all important questions affecting the welfare of the State. We have struggled to elevate and improve the character of our Ju. dietary, and to promote to the bench men of learning, integrity and talents. We have SUD- ported for the Senate of this State, men of correct motives, sound principles, and upright department, who have faithfully done their duty as Senators and legislated for the com- Munity and not for themselves. We have been vigorous in our sxertiOns 10 improve our Congressional delegation, and happily suc- ceeded in introducing to the Halls of the Ca pitol men, who by their efforts do honor to Connecticut. In short, we have with the aid of our patriotic fellow citizens residing else where, resisted successfully the mischievous projects of intriguers, ofice-seekers, t0lera- tionists, and Jackson men; and have been uniformly, by an immense majority, on the side of good order and correct government.
 No section of the State has been more firm
 and undertaking in these particulars than that
 in which we have the happiness to reside.- Under such circumstances, is it possible that we should fall out by the way! Can design ing men succeed in introducing discord among
 
 sides in one town, or another, produce excite
 ment? If his abode be Colebrook or Har-
 winton, New-Hartford or Litchfed, can it be
 important? Should we not rather inquire
 with respect to the principles ofthe candidate,
 his qualifications for the office, and his dispo- sition to discharge faithfully its duties :? If the character of the good people of the Eff teenth District is correctly understood, there can be only one answer to these interrogato- ries. It is believed that the sensible. dispas- sionate, and candid electors of the District will respond with unanimity through the me- dium of the ballot boxes. The question Is not where man resides, but has he the abil- ity and disposition to represent adequately and faithfully our interests and our wishes ln the General Assembly The object of the writer is not to advocate the claims of par l ticular candidate, but to prevent an unhappy l sectional contest. Who is to gain by it? Who are making great efforts to promote it 1 Who is pouring upon Phinehas Miner, Esq. through the columns of the Times. a torrent of abuse Is it possible that the friends of this respectable gentleman, in the northern
 part of the District, (where he resided for

 the Jackson men begin to triumph, and hope to gain an easy victory-but they will be miserably disappointed. There is too much good sense in the 18th District to permit the Electors to be swept away by the delusiOns Of sectional contest. In conclusion, it is proper to say that I should be much gratifed if there should be a general concurrence in favor of the gentleman whose name has been introduced into this article, but if otherwise, have no doubt but that the 18th District will be we'll represented in the next session of the General Assembly.

 COMMUNICATIONS.
 It is believed to be unnecessary to discuss the claims of Phinchas Miner, Esq. to the of the electors of the 18th district ] Being as he is universally known throughout tho District. and especially in the northern part of it, where exist the scenes of his child hood, youth, and more mature years, the elec- tors can form without difficulty correct es- innate of his character, principles, and quail. ications. Having by his upright department, mild manners, and generous disposition, gain. ed many warm friends throughout the Dis. trict, whose wishes and interests he will feel every inclination to consult and promote, so far as 1t can be donc consistently with his du. ty to the public. it would be difficult to select l any man who would represent more impar. tially not only every section ofthe district, but asSO every CJASS Ot OUT CltlZcnS. Wnatever jealousy may surmise, indscreet zeal affirm. ! or insidi0us motive propagate to the contrary, l the public may rest assured that he Is the last | man to indulge spirit of ofproscrirtion, and to embark in ruthless contest in relation to any and much less in relation to one believed to be of very little moment. This acoud be to act in direct opposition to the ,vhoe tenor cf kis li ife. And who that knows the ] steadiness of his character, and the Rxedness ! of his principles. can anticipate such an un- happy change of department, and that too l without an adequate motive He is therefore commended to the dspassionate electors of the 18th district for their cordial support, with the hope that every thing may be banished from the contest injurious to the character, or unacceptable to, the feelings of any opposing candidate. TRuMBuLL. The following communication is from one of
 the most respectable farmers residing in the
 north part Of the 18th district:
 Mr. Edifor-
 Sir. The subject 0f a candidate for senator TOT the 18th district, seems to meet with some discussion. Mr. Phinehas Miner has been for some weeks before the public us a candidate tor that office. The object of few Jackso- nIans, seems to be to divide, in order to get ln their own candidate. For this purpose. they got up a meeting last week at Wolcotts- vile. The meeting proved an abortion, there being hut two or three delegates except from lhe fOyVn whera sf Sva, hall. .,,I c.-...
