Litchfield enquirer. [volume] (Litchfield, Conn.) 1829-current, 1833-03-21

In one week from next Monday the lreemen OF this
State will he called on TO choose their political rulers
for another year. In our paper to-day have given
the nominations made by the National Republicans
for State Officers and Members Of Congress- The
officers have already served several years in the
capacities for which they are now again nominated !;
and will be superfuous this time to speak Of their
quali6cations-They are well known, and apprecia-
ted. The Congress Ticket is also composed, with
single exception, Of gentlemen who have faithfully
served the in Congress for four more years
past. They are, all Of them Of tried capacity and
worth-and we trust the freemen Of Ltchfeid county
ever awake to Of their duty, and on whom
the confidence Of the state always relies upon their
doing it-need not the use of many words to induce
them to come forward TO the polls and give them their
jealous and efficient support.
In connection with the above named Ticket, we
have given also the Of all the candidates for the
State Senate in this county. In each Of The Districts
the first named gentlemen have respectively served
one term; and, for aught we have heard, or believe,
with credit to themselves, to the districts they have
represented, and to the state. In district,
Dr.. Phe ps, though we understand worthy and re-
spectacle man, is strongly tinctured with Jackson
ism, and has been for many years unsuccessful
canddate for the Office that we apprehend there is
little prospect Of his at the present time. Not
wi,hsandng which, it is important that the people
should forth and act though they felt interest in
the triumph Of correct principles, and in the election
of Mr.. Williams.
Proscription-" The Jeffersonan," at Hartford, IL,
as many Of our readers doubtless know jackson pa
per, but has heretofore been conducted with more
candor and fairness Than some other Of the jackson
papers in this state. lis editor was Thomas Fl. Sey-
mour, Esq-a son Of that sterling old democrat, Hem
ry Seymour Of Hartford who has for many years been
voted Tor by portion Of the democratic party for Sc
cretary Of State in place OF Thomas Day-and young
Of respectable talents and at,ainments. 1t may
be remembered, aso that immediately after the
inaton of the Jackson Ticket for State Officers and
Members Of Congress in January, the editor broke
ground against The nominations, calculated TO dis
tract Instead Of producing harmony in the democratic
ranks-hat the gentlemen nominated for Congress
pecially who were members Of the convention, were
governed by selfish aMd personal motives-and that he
could support all the ticket. He continued in this
course until last week, whea, no change having been
made in the nominations, and no prospect OF there
being any, he unceremonously turned adrt from
the editorial Of the Jeersonian, because
he would no, become subservent TO the Jackson Jun
60 at Hartford. The paper will support Gov. Gid
for lick The hand that is raised II crush
it. The following is Mr.. Seymour's card upon his
dismissal =
To the Public.--The connection ofthe subscriber
with the Jefersonan closes with the present number.
Having been arrested in an honest attempt to give
strength the ticket Of the democratic convention,

lOus upon the subject than myself. When first en-

and lassion Of political controversy, have ever gwen
offence even to my political opponents, it must have
been unintentiomai on my part and not the result o.
envy Or malice. Towards them, and my political
friends, entertain other feelings but those Of re-
spect and kindness. .

FOREIGN. By the arrival at New-York on Sunday
last Of the packet Caledonia, London papers to the
4th Of February are received. There is no news OF
consequence. Parliament convened on the 18th jan
uary. After great deal Of Formally, the House OF
Commons made choice Of Mr.. Manners Sutton rs
Speaker by a vote of 24l to 81. This however is by
no means ties. Of the parties. Mr.. s. has long held
the station, and is represented beng peculiarly qua
lifted for it. There considerable speculation in the
papers respecting the European powers but really no
aews. Turkey appears to be in com'aotion. Weha'e
room for only the following account Of
BnttLs.-An extract from German paper 1.-THE
Allgemeine Zeitung) dated the 9th, brings advces
FROM Constannnple Of the 18th ult., which shows
that, in consequence Of the late Of the OTTO
man armies despair had taken possession Of the Tnr-
kish Government. The Sultan has DOT shown the
spirit which was expected from him. The account Of
the battle, which ended in the destruction Ofhe Grand
Vizieis army, given in the German paper TO which
we have alluded, fully confirms anticipation Of the
previous Of lbrahim Pacha having been rass
TO entange in difficult ground the operations Of the
Turkish cavalry. By reireaiing into the de6les Of
Karaman he was enabled to render his comparatively
small army an overmach for that OF the Grand Vizier
He DESTROYED in the first instance, the cavalry which
composed the WINGS and then took The cesire, which
the Grand Vizier led in person. on both tanks The
carnage was dreadful both sides, and Il the Sultan
had talent and energy for the crisis he might still pro-
tect his capital from the shattered though victorious
forces Of the Egyptian rebel.
The Legislature Of Pennsylvania have had another
unsuccessful balIOting for Senator, and postponed fur
Their proceedings to the ID Of April Mr.. M'Kean had

probability Of choice this session.
