WEIGHrY.-The Norwich Aurora comes
out against Mr.. Brockway, the Wing candi-
date for Congress in. the sixth District, be-
cause he is rather small in stature, and does
not weigh quite as much as the redoubtable
General Cleaveland! Really, if the people
OF Connecticut are to judge OF the merits of
candidates for their suffrages. by COMPARE
son OF their gross sCefgh, or the quantity Of
hide and talloa0 which they may respectively
possess, the Loco Focos of Litchfeld county
have nominated the most available candidate
in the State. If weight of character means
'oeigM Of meat, Charles B. Phelps is the man
above all others most truly meet for Congress.
He measures about feet 7 from tip to heel,
and about Z feet in girth. This Judging of
candidates by the ,oeigh of flesh, however, is
only carrying out the true Niles doctrine
The minds the standard Of the man, but the
hide and talloso is the standard of cattle.
