 0F CAUTION. H $ runsoured in the l7h District. that third candidate is to be brought .or,oard on the eVe of the election with pie,o to divide the votes that Touid De otherwise siren to Augustus Pettibone, and thus ensure the triumph cfthe Jacksen cause; but it is believed that the electors o the District are too intelligent to Be deluded by the art;fcs cf an enemy in disguise.
 - LOOK OUT! Mr. Editor:
 Iis not to be expected that political aspir ants whose only pOle-star is their advancement, and whose principle of action is reciprocity Of aid, will avow their selfish motves-they will rather endeavor, without being over-scrnpulous to the means, to persuade the public mind that the welfare of the people is in- volved in the accomplishment of their plans. A self constituted nomnator of candidate for senator for the 18th dstrct aware Of the fact that almost the en. tire body of electors in this district were opposed to the election of Gen. Jackson is endeavorng to avail himself of this public opinion, by turning the whole current of it in favor of his canddate-unler .he mos dest pretension that there is possible escape from the power of Jacksonsm but by rendering undivided support to F. Miner, Esq. The very existence of our liberty seems 10 depend upon the defeat of his candidate. It is difficult perceive how this ve- ry respectable gentleman has bec0me so incorporated with tho being of the republican par,y.-7hey have HOt nominated him as their candidate, nor agreed ,o test their strength by his popularity. The reaess o his political principles has not identified him even as belonging to their party. He owes his position as n candidate to twO pOsrsrs-frst, 10 the nomination of the anti-masonic convention at Torrngford and see
 
 the (perhaps fc.itious) signature of "an Elccor"- There is another gentlema" before the public as 2 candidate for senator from this district, whose char acter and principles do not require the endorsement of any person-.hey pass undisputed even among his opposers--vz. R. (. Abernethy, Esq. The friend of Mr. Miner has considered it proper to remark upon the mode iu which Gen. A. has been brought for ward as candidate, giving the credit off, to the Jackson party,to which they not entIed Tho ra towns belonging to the 18th district requested to appoint delegates to attend meeting a, Wolcott- ville-without reference party-io nominate can- didHte for senator--not even attached to the notice to give it apary coloring-the object was to concentrate public opinion; that the people nigh, unitedly elect their own candidae.-The day ap,nin,- ed was inclement-and in consequence bu, nine ofhe delegates attended. They nominated the candidate that the voice of the people had indicated by their favorable opinion. There is much reason for believ- ing many of the present supporters of Mr Miner had selected Gen. A. for their candidate as the most like. ly to be elected, until the anmasonc nomination at Torringford made it probable that Mir. Miner might succeed. The nomination of Wm. G. Williams, Esq. (whO hmself it is said nominated Mir. Miner at the anti-masonic State convention of the ant-ma- sonic commiite for this county) calculated die vide the votes of that hopeat But this fusion among brethren o the principle is very happily prevented by some kind of compromise-the terms of which have not ,ranspired-but Esq. Will jams very disnterestedy assigns all his right and title to the surages of the electors to his friend P. Miner. Esq-whO.hsr for one year or forever is not declared.
 Heel undernO great apprehension Mir. Editor, as the result ofthe pending election. Either of the gem tlemen named in this communication will am coni- dent perform the duties of senator with Integrity aud ability, and do no discredIt ts the district. The electors are fully competent to decide which oftl.em has been the most fairly and honorably brought be- fore them as candidaies and will trust give evidence through inc ballot bOxes-which method they prefer of nominating their candida,es-whether by the cor rect and legitimate mode of concentrating their wishes bs delegation from the people as at WolcOttville-Or whether they will succumb to anonymous dctation or participate inshe inqaisOral prescription of the anti masonic convention as at Torringford.
