ions at the hands of the Wings than at the present
independent Of the importance of the ensuing cleo
ION a. affecting the State Officers, the whole of our
aesgation in Congress is to depend for its political
character upon the result of the efforts of our Wing
friends. In one of the Districts the candid
Kases have been already selected. In our own Dis
kict the Convention to nominate candidate 10 to
meet at New-Mlford on Tuesday next the 2lst inst.
Dur views to the necessity and proprety of full
and general attendance at that time of our Wing
friends, were fully expressed week or two since.
Il The Loco Convention that assembled at the same
place and for similar purpose during the last week,
have put in nomination DR.. Samuel Simons of Bridge
port. This result was, to say the least, extremely
Mnerpeesed by most of the party in this County, and
DOUBTLESS not little Notifying to the friends of
one in this County upon whom the eyes of his friends
were universally turned, and who certainly ent
tied to the nomination if zeal aad active exertion in
the cause furnished any grounds to support part-
Fan, and who in addition to this fact received plura-
lily of the votes the first ballotings in the Conven
1ioa. But we have said more than we had designed
to on this subject. Whoever may receive the nomi-
nation of the Wings of this Congressional District,
confident that sectional differences Of OPT
Mon and no narrow minded prejudces will prevent
him from receiving the full, undivided support of the
Wing party of the Counties of Fairfield and Itch
fed-and the result cannot fail of being a complete
and overwhelming defeat of Dr. Simons and the par
sy he represents
In conclusion, let us urge upon the Wings Of the
whole District the necessity Of having full delegs-
4ion from every town, that the views and wishes Of
Al our friends may be fully expressed and under
stood by the Cow ention.
~ WIN. II. SEWARD, the recent Wing Governor of
the State of New ork, has recommended the prac
tice Of law at the village of Auburn. He carries
with him into retirement only the consciousness
Of having for four years discharged the duties Of
chief magistrate with single eye to the public well
fare, but the heartfelt wishes of the people Of New
York for his future happiness and prosperity. No
executive ever had or deserved warmer friends
more numerous admirers. He has conferred
more honor upon the exalted station which he has
occupied than any Of his predecessors, unless posi-
bly, We should except the lamented Clinton. He re-
tires. we trust from public life only for season.
The State and nation will ere long call him to the
discharge Of duties not less important than those
which have devolved upon him during his guberna-
torial career But whether in public private life,
the name Of William H. Seward will long be ascot
ated with the Of Internal Improvement, Pop
ular education, and of Universal Liberty.
