 NEW HAVEN, April 18th, 1862.
 DEAR ENQUIRER An hail noble old Litoh- field County! And all hall glorious old Con- necticut! If treason, covert or undisguised, ex- ists longer within thy borders it must be pos sessed of wonderful vitality! Every Senator loyal, and three fourths of the House for the Un- ion without condition or compromise
 Hthere is any circumstance of the recent cleo tion even more pleasant to contemplate than the grand result, it is the ignominious defeat of cer- tain recreants who protested till the eleventh hour to be Unisnists, and then relapsed into the bosom of Eatonism. Witness the fate of the "talented young Irishman' of this city, who humbly ate dirt swept from the Register office in order to secure his election from this Demo- cratic stronghold, and was rewarded by dis graceful defeat! Lost his prestige, lost his con. sistency, lost his election! "Oh Lucifer, son of the morning, how art thou fallen !" Doolit- tie also, loud mouthed, pestilent fellow, who takes large share of the dirtiest law jobs of this district, and is known as m insolent and malignant Democrat, "caves" to c. s. Bushnell the godfather of the plucky little "Monitor p
 If the notable defection in your County has not been wholly harmless, it has yet foiled of its chief purpose, and by its discovery, has lost further power for evil. Litchfeld in spite of it has covered herself with glory!
 notice in the ENQUIRER a paragraph copied from another paper to the effect that the elec- tion of Senator Dixon is probable Perhaps 50, but down this way we "don't see it." Dixon doesn't deserve it. He has no claim for re- election upon the party as such, nor the state as such He has served six years which is quite enough to ventilate all the ability that is in him. If any one knows of his rendering special ser vices to Connecticut, or manifesting original ta- lent in 'statesmanship, pray let him mention it He made great exertions to get Ferry Briga diership (quite disinterested ? but what has he done for others? He was one of the milk and water sort while the traitors remained in the Senate, and the impression was prevalent for Q long time that on tho first occasion he would show the white feather. If his backbone ha. been recently straitened by the pressure of cir cumstances, it is little credit to him. We wan a man whose spine requires no trusting to repre- sent Connecticut in the trying times ahead.
 Experience in the last few years of ruin ant disorgsnization is worthless for the years ts come. The task of reorganization. more diffcul, than the work of armies, will demand the best minds and hearts of the nation to be in counsel I say minds and hearts, for first among the qual ications of Q successful statesman in stormy times, are high moral impulses and convictions Show me man who has strong principles and is inhexibly true to them, and will show one who like ABRAHAM LINCOLN can guide the shiI of state firmly and wisely through dangers = Such man will be presented by New Haver County as 8 candidate for Senator in place o Dixon. Every body knows Judge FOSTER. Ir Litch6eld especially, where his portly figure and hearty laugh have been familiar for many sum mers, the mere mention of his name is enough l to call up troops of friends. His reputation ., Q faithful counsellor and brilliant advocate i. not to be made any where in the state, but tn, l extent of his services to the Republican caus, can be appreciated only by those who have wit messed them A man of profound convictions of earnest enthusiasm in expressing them, coup led with Q genuine wit-he will carry to the Senate capacities for debate of high order.- Best of all he has backbone. His principles ars the result of hard thinking and strong feeling and from them he can not be swerved. Duty not party, is his watch-word. Yet he is not ul. tra or fanatic. No man is kinder in his feelings or more charitable in his judgments. But with that false kindness which aggravates by over. looking evil, he has no sympathy. Modesty il one of his most marked habits. No politician in the State has done 50 much for others. None has neglected so many opportunities to press himself forward. None has resisted so often, for the sake of harmony, the efforts of his friends to vindicate his claims.
 I am led to believe that he will now accept an election to the U. s. Senate. There certainly ought to be no doubt of his getting it. f
