Stewart Is certainly a very respectable man, but hs claims ought not O operate against man who manIlests decided desire to his country and N hu seems well to understand ,he elevated feelings of the Connecticut democracy. We have rarely seen more hopeful candidate better chrls- tian a modest politician. There IS a vein ot pe,y and reflection running through the letter. which makes it exceedingly interesting nor nave we ever seen a more anus ing mixture Of patriotism and pa,er- nal s0lictude-business and while heans-of senii- ment and applesaMcc.

 We do not give this ambitious gen,leman's name, but if he thinks it would do him any good in the 1 test, we will publish il with pleasure, hereafter. DANBURY. Dec 18th, 1885. Dear Son-YO" have probably heard of the sudden death of the Hon. z. W,ldman. He obtained, |" foot in the Halls of Congress, a representative of the eope, 10 ihe modification of his old an! bitter enemies And, though perhaps he was not ready 10 say with good old Simeon, '' Now Ieitesl thou thy servant depart in peace, he could say he had attain ed an eerntio1, through ihe suffrage of the people, which will give his name an honorable rank in i,e atchivrs of the nation. That he should be summon. ed go sudden 10 higher Count or Counsel Is iasler than we were counting; though it was the opinion of others, beside myself that he would never return to his native reside again. It is a rare occurrence that state s deprived suddenly and tn puck cess"n, of Senator and a Representative in Con- gress and furnish another proof Oi the ra aud um- ceI tain tenure by which we hold the cup containing greatness aud worldly pelf.
 IL Is said. tand think truly; that Judge Wildman was worth $20O GOO; this is t,uiy great sum. Sup pose his s"ul had expanded sufficiently |" have helped our Society out the embarrassment which his pride. political ambition. aud caprice, inV"iN us. He might then have left Society free from debt, and his heirs in very good keeping.
 The existing law makes il incumbent on the Gov. ernOr of this State lO issue wrs of election, ealing upon the people |" fill th" vacancy ocrasOned by the death oC Judge WiIIman-whirh will he by general tickets .hrOWgh"ut the State; 90 that the WhigS Oi this District cannot have the graica ion of triumph. unI il ronnd again. As il pretty certain that ihe Jackson ticket will preval to elect the candidate that shall he srreeiy brought into the irld-and as there wilt he hut litIe opportunity for mnnem,rri"g, the first and primary question is, uho shaH fn Me breach? Should the Clam be early set mp by the Democrats of this county, l think i. will he readily conceded by the party throughout the State, as just and reasonable. The question again occurs, WlI" shn come up in nomination? As there will be but le time for eliberali"", the democratic pnpers w'll be eary in starting camd daesand N hat shnli say Have heen To" much laitered by the result ui the deliberations of the Democratic ConV rmiinN last win ,er-and from friendly declarations and expressions from other sources? Was it aci, that b"t for the ioRg pull of Judge Wliman, might have had fair expression of the feelings of the Cnnvenilon-and as il was. did stand high any other candidate, l except Judge W,lhman? know that am vain any other; but would it not be great a triumph over my Dveerale enemies as it was for Judge Wild- m7n? lt will not do for you to be "pen!y active; but yo" can effect much and be modest. Gray will lend their friendly aid. What should you say to put ting certa" name early upon the lIs I Could Il he brought forward by the Farmers Democratic Star, Columbian Register and Hartford Times? l lhelieve success would crown the effort.
