OUR CANDIDATES!
lr. Xelch.

We have cheering intelligence. from different parts s,of our Congressional Dis> tlict. Our friends in Fairfield ounty are rallying nobly. They are determine ed to regain the proud position they lost by their divisions in the5 Spring of 1851. The name of our candidate (Dr.
 Welcl,) is proving a perfect tower of strength in those towns where he is best known. and throughout the whole Dis- trtct his nomination. has been received with the most perfect cordiality by ev- cry true Whig. The attempts of his opponents to make political capital against him. by calling him Free Soil- CT and Maine Law man. can do him 10 injury. DF.
