WILLIAM w. ELLSWORTH.

Justice the Peace though possessing entire
confidence ofhs county, and though nearly eusvy thing
else in the shape Of larger in this State has contrived
in one way or another to secure the privileges Of that
addition to his The truth it, that Mr.. Ellsworth
s,udousy avoided public life tor which so many have
keen appee) till 1929, when his friends, knowing
bis qualifications and the favor with which his name
would he received by the electors, persuaded him mot
without difficulty to become candidate for Congress.
The appointment of Thomas s. Williams Judge of
the Superior Court put Mr.. Ellsworth the head Of
the practice in Hartford county, and he held
the Office ofProfessor of Law n Washington College;
from which sources he was certain to derive emolu-
ments much greater than from public employment /;
but considering duty to his country paramount pr-
vate interest, he took his in Congress, was ap.
pointed member OF the Judiciary committees very
important pos-and being interchangeable in his exer-
tons, has distinguished himself by number Of sx-
cellcnt speeches, interesting Subjects and has
cured 10 his high rank in the scale of Congress
sional talent. 1t is believed, that there are few men
SO well qualified to do good, emphaticay goodn Con.
gross, and to give the moral, intellectual, and po
cal elevation which we should ardently desire, and
seek, by all proper attain. The loss Of such
man, by reckless disregard Of our true interests
for mere partzan substitute, will lead all we'll regu-
lated minds to despair Of the republic. The editor
of the American Mercury, in stating the real political
character OF Isaac TOusey, ESQ., in the following art-
Gle, has made Up NE issas between Mr.. Ellsworth aud
his opponent and that issue is Mo,p pat distinctly to the
electors for decision. CHOOSE YE!
