Gideon Hall, Jr. ESQ.

The vile abuse and bitter personalities
with which this gentleman has been assail-
ed by his political opponets, is sure guar
antee of his qualifications ard fitness for
the station TO which he has been nominated,
and will do not a little to render his election
certain. Their very malignity will render
them rowerless for evil, and hence any at
tempt a, reply on our part would be needless.
Mr.. Hall is too we'll known in this vicinity
to need oar concentrations his talents and
integrity are appreciated, and we beg leave
to predict his election to the Senate in spite
CT the attempted ''coalition" of his enemies.
We have yet to learn that the Liberty Par
ty of this District are SO devoid of wisdom
and of principle as to permit themselves to
be swallowed up by the slave party OF the
North.

"L1TCHFIFLD."- word is repeat
ed thousands of times each year by the cit,
liens of our county, and yet few if any o.
them know or think Of its signifcaton,-
This town and county received their name
from the antique city of Lichfield, England
The spot on which that city stands is re-
garded as one Of the most sacred in the
kingdom. There it is said thousand Chris
tian martyrs were put to death at one time
in the persecution which ragged in the begin,
ming of the fourth century, under Doclesian
and Maximain. A field in the neighbour
hood, which still hears the name of Chist-
ian Field, is pointed out as the scene of this
Straightforward e,ymologis,s have found q
memorial of the same event in the name
of the town itself. Litchfeld, they contend
signifies in Saxon, the Field Of The Dead. -
DR.. johnson, himself a native of Lilchfeld
has taken care to record this derivation in
his Dictionary, with the circumstance by
which it is supposed to be eoun,enanced.

W'HEG ELECTORS !

Have you the slightest idea Of what you have
got 10 Dc, in order 10 carry the election, which
10 not four tre-ks from you'll Have you reflect
ed that the election will not carry itself for
the Wings, but that the Wings must carry it
by strong effort or lose ii Have you any i'm
preston lurking in your brains that we are
sure Of success, AVID do you lay that Aattering
JUNCTION to your souls, while you are doing
nothing? Open your eyes and lock around
You See where YOU stand, see the active ex-
ertions Of your opponents, and ask yourselves
whether there is any honorable act in your
power that you can justify yourselves in omit
ting at this time.
We repeat what we have already warned
you of-that your opp Inents are neither dead
nor sleeping They are actively engaged in
canvassing the state, and drilling their parti-
zlns. Ostensibly quiet, their circulars are on
the wing in every direction. You think that
because you don't hear them shout that they
are silent. But they have vast whispering
gallery, the walls Of which give no utterance,
save to the ears of The faithful. Their watch
word, their rallying cries, their warning notes,
their words of cheer, are conveyed with uner-
ing certainty and swift despatch to the very
places where they are needed.
You cannot afford TO be negligent in this
matter unless you canatlo.d to lose the election.
You cannot afford to loose any time. The de-
cisve day will come before You are aware, and
unless you keep your eyes fixed earnestly upon
the object of your organization. aid strengthen
and perfect your organization, in view Of the
object. you will as certainly rue that day as the
sun shall rise and set upon it.
There ia an urgent necessity for labor. If
there is any town or society that is not canv-
assed, if there is a single district unorganized,
if single necessary committee is not yet APP
pointed, or If appointed, has done nothing, then
that town, district or society, should not be left
in this condition, another week,-not another
,ceek! You cannot estimate the consequences
Of negligence now, but il we suffer those con-
sequences to come upon US, we shall soon gee
The day when that negligence will bear bitter
fruit, and we shall be compelled to taste it.
Remember, then, these things;
We can carry this State triulnphantly, IT ,oe
eLaU
We cannot carry it without organized and
energetic action.
The Election is at hand, and there is ne
lime TO lose
Resolve then, that you will carry the State.
that YOU WILL act, and that YOU WILL
ACT NOW !-Hartford COWant

NEW FREEMEN.

There are large number Of young men in
this State who have recent, become of age,
and who will for the first time, exercise the
right OF suffrage, at the approaching election,
and great majority of them we believe, will
give their first vote in favor Of the coed Wing
cause. The larger portion of the Young Men
ale too honest and Independent to be contains
ined by locofoeo principles. Our Wing friends
in every town should make it an especial duty
to lock up all such Young Men, and assist them
in the Necessary steps to become electors.

The following communication from Gen
Sedgwick sufficiently explains itself:
Sharon. March 12, 1917.
Mr. hil5o,Wn-Thc New Haven Palladium,
from which you copy in your last paper, makes
an unfortunate mistake in relation to the late
Col. II. W. Dwight. of Berkshire, and of his
course in Congress. II is due to the many sur
viving friends of that gentleman. who vet cher-
ish the kndest feelings towards his memory,
that it should be corrected.
Col. Dwight did not come into public life as
q Member Of Congress until after the Missouri
question was settled. After serving four years
in the National Councils, he Withdrew from
another canvass. 1t was found to be impossible
for a majority Of the electors of Berkshire, to
agree upon successor to him, and after two or
three trials, and failure in each. he was
compelled to give his consent to become a
candidate again, and was elected by large
majority. After serving four years more he
again retired to give place to the present Gov
Briggs. So far from " betraying his constitu-
ens," or selling himself for mess of pottage,'
he was ever true to their interests and 10 his
own integrity. 1t is well known that he was
the only member Of Congress from Massachu
sets who voted for the tariff of 1928 He
undoubtedly had his faults, but he was noble
and honest man for all that
The Palladium was undoubtedly led into the
mistake by the fact that Henry Shac. of
Lanesboroush. VINO was the member of Con
yress from Berkshire when the Missouri
question was settled, voted with the slave
holders. Yours &C.,

Dollars were ADDED to make up the dcicien-
cy!
We cannot now state The precise amount

sion for the next financial year, common.
cling on the LIST of July l847 and termina-
ting on the 3Oth of June l848; but we are
credibly informed that they exceed SIXTY
MILLIONS!! And it is estimated that
if the war continues, there will be defi>
cheney for both years of at least $50, COO,OOO
70 be appropriated at the first ses ion Of the
next Congress! No doubt the expenditures
for the Two years ending on the 3Oth OF
June l84S, unless peace be shortly made
will reach the frightful sum OF $l4O,O0O,OOC!
If to this we add the old debt of about S2O,-
100000, which existed when Mr.. Polk
came into power, making an aggregate OF
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS!! Deduct the
amount of revenue ACQUIRING from all sources

1874, 100000, and that for one year only
How great is the share of the people of Con-
necticut of this vast sum? Every one can
calculate, when it is considered that the
population of our State constitutes at least
one-sixtieth part of the entire popu =
lation of the Union. On this basis the
army must cost the people Of THIS State
over $5OO,OO0!-all expenditures for the
same year, over 81 ,O0O,0OO!!-and for the
two years, over $2,OOO,OOO!!! In short,
an amount of the hard earnings of the good
people of our State equal to the whole OF
our School FUND, is to be expended IN two
short years, by corrupt and unprincipled
administration, in the prosecution OF the
existing war with Mexico, and other pur-
noses! What think We Of this? ye tax

al debt of $lOO,O0O,0OO to be contracted
in the short space Of two years, by war
which, to Say the least, was totally un-
necessary, and which is now waged avow-
edly for spoliation and conquest-to acquire
territory which we do not need: and which
must inevitably constitute a root OF bitter
ness between different sections of the Union
if it does not even break down our glori>
Gus confederacy.
The people should reflect upon these
things, and manifest their adherence OF
wars and national debt in
the only way in which they can make
