THE ENQUIRER.
LITCHFIELD, MARCH 20, 1882.

Freensen's Meetiag.-0n Monday next ahe peopl, of this State will be again called together for ihe OK ercise of their privileges feemen. It is one of h great and beautiful features of excellent form government, that the people themselves shall have h power of saying by schom that government, shall be ad minis,ered. ltis this which distinguishes the Ameri can government from every other one on the face Q the gohs. And when we are called upoD 10 exercis, our elective franchise, we should do ii unbiased b, personal Ddshp-selecting for our rulers those men. and ihoss only, whom ws deem "worshy, aud well qualified" -. a@< -. .-.
 Next Monday there are to be elected Governor. Lieut.. GovsrHoF Secretary and Treasurer, Senator for each District and Representatives for each town
 n the state. For the first four named ofices the can. didates who are in examination will be found in anoth- CT column. To them there is no oppos,on-except by the anlimasons.
 For Senator in this or 18th Senatorial District, two candidates have been brought forward by their respec. tive frie"ds-sSsselI c. Abernethy and Wm. c. Will iams Esqs, and will doubtless be zeaeusIy supported in some parts of the district As either of them, 90 far as information extends, would in the Senate support the same leading measures, sOs, and we think the great buof the people in this town, at least, are indifferent who shall succeed. GDr. Launcelot Phelps of Colebrook s in the las, Hartford Times brought forward a candidaie-b0t as he is an ayowed Jack. sonan, the votes for him will probably be few Still, the electors should leave the ground on Mon day until they have deposited their votes for Abernethy or WiIa,ns.1
 In the 18th District, Messrs. Calvin Butler and Charles A. Judson are in nomination. In scme parts Of the district the will he close and spirited Mr. Butler has several times been representative in the legislature, and distinguished for the ability with which he discharged his duty MT. Judson s an amiabe, worthy citizen--but he has never had any experience m legislative capacity and to 20 into such body the Senate ofthe state under this dis advantage, must very greatly diminsh his influence and standing. But at he present lime, thas is not inc greatest objection. He is known to be JacksoDian; and upon that ground alone exer,ions ought to Do made to prevent his election.
 In the l7,h District, t is said there will be- great struggle, and close vote. We need not tell our read CTS who the candidates are-our columns this day bear sufficient marks to identify hem But one word as to the dvision in the National RepUblicas ranks. It must be apparent to a that if they suffer themselves to divide upon two candidates ihe JacksonmaD will be elected. Gen. Sedgwick is the candidate who will be generally supported by the friends of Heny Clay, and every voss upon Gen. Sterling Ony tends the chances for the of the Jackson candidate. We trust therefore that 1aion will be the watch-wOrd with all true National publcans-and then there be doubt oi the success of their can didaie.
 0 In this iowa, during the past week, there has been considerable discussion and speculation in pri- rate circles 10 who would be supported for Town but far can ascertain public 'eniimea it does so, settle down upon any ons ex- seps Truman Smith, Esq. Who will be selected to sgaiast him, or who sch him, Monday next must iisclose. Fer our part, the Ticket that we should prefer would be ihis:
 TRUMAN SMITH, &
 ELIHU HARRISON. Both are wel known t0 the elsctoEs-and Co say my thing of seir qualifications. other than ,as they sould with ihs friends of Henry Clay in support 'fa Senator e Congress, would be superAsOus.
