and active in his venerable age. among b iss personal friends. In the Eastern. Hon. AsIyAH CArLsx cFrissweight by his anblemdshed rrp- utation md Acknowledged fnanciaI aiility Ne have also heard. in this connection, the names mentioned of Ex-Gov. Hn1xY of Sal. isbury, ROBBINS BArrElL, Esq. of Norfolk. Hon. ELLIOTT BEARDsLEr of Winstsd, Dr.. S. w. GorD Of Cornwall, and others, but wheth CT with any authority of these gentlemen. or others, 50 to use their names, We are not aware. but they are all the names of men that would, reflect the highest honor upon this district, if either of them should be chosen to represent it. We believe it is concealed by Fairfield County that Litchfeld County shall receive the honors of the Republican nomination, and consequently, We trust. the election this year i; but if the Convention should he unable to choose between the names presented above, or from others of which this County is proud, We presume there will be no dificuity ln finding candidates even in Fairfield Cotnty. Hon. CHAs HAwLEr of Sssinfard has already been spoken favorably of in these columns and is we'll known, from his great age and merits. so both Counties. And, we presume. Ex Gov. MINOR. also of Stamford, or Gov. RoorR Ayx- KILL of Danbury, or, possibly. Representative AHos R. TREAr of Bridgeport. and soms oth- CTS. would not absolutely refuse the nomina- tion. if unanimously rendered them. So the Convention-whenever Bro.e Hanover calls it togpther-will hardly find difficulty from lack of saitabls names or of proper timber to select from and upon whom the voice of the Convention fixes its approval we shall support heartily and with all our might.
 It is conceded that the work to be done in this election is to be dsne in Fairfield County. We shall roll up . majority of from two to five hundred in this County for the Republicaa candidate. if he be strong one, notwithstand- ing the absencs of our volunteers, and if Fairfield County but hold its own, the chances of redeeming the district are more than good. It is very proper then that Fairfield County shall have some voice Tn determining the choice of candidates. particularly if the delegation from this County is likely to disagree materi- ally. But we have no doubt of tho final har. mony of the Convention, since
 "The best laid plans of mice and men,
 Gang aft aglee."
 In our COUNTY REF uBL1cAx CONVENTION we imagine no such diversity of names will be apt to distract the minds of the delegates. That of Col. LEyERErr w. VESSELS. the present po1 u!ar Sheriff of Litchfeld County, and Colonel of the 18th Connecticut Regiment, will prove, as heretofore. a pillar and power of strength 10 the ticket, which we shall not vii lingly forego for the only reason that he is temporarily in the service ofhis country, at the head of our gallant County Regiment. Col. Vessels believes and hopes, with all of us. that this Rebellion cannot live 2 year longep and tbat he shall be ahls to return from his duties in the field to his old dutias in this County. if the people 30 recall him. within the year, if possible, but not till he and his regi- .ment have seen the last of it. And many will be tha votes of the oth CT party he will receive on election day. The democrats will undoubt. edly make the show of running somebody. as they have heretofore. Hereabouts they men ton the name of GEORGE H. BALDWIN. our ex. Representative. and very geod democrat. though not always successful. We predict for him. or anybody else agains, WEssELIs, Wa tsrloo defeat. The County Republican Com. mitt%a to call the Convention are F. s. Beebs Of Litchfeld, John NJ. Wadhams of Goshen and I.eman W. Cutler of Watertown.
 In our immediate Senatorial Dis.rict-the l5th-we presume t Is too soon to mention even probabilities but, from the action of the Republican Convention of last year. 1we suppose there can be no doubt but that HENRY s. BARBOUR, Esq. of Wolcottville. will b. the Republican nominee. unless. indeed, he should be so unfortunate as to receive again . certain kind of support which he received last year, and if Senator GcoDwINis satisfied with his Senatorial hsaors. Upon whom the Demo. cratic complimsas of n nomination will fall we are unadyised dt may aga,n be rendered to our distinguished townsmau. Major E. ". SEYMOUR. or our fsiend, ROLAND HIrcBcocK, Esq of Winsted, nay osee more he allowed to wear the blushing honors.and recount the vote in his pleasant wilderness. If, however, we might suggest to our demacratic friends. we should offer to their consideration the name oi NELSON ALvoRD. Jr., of Wolcativille. mod. est, retiring young man. but fierce young Democrat, man of property, family and scho lastic attainmcnts,a . right down good fellow and a good man ss ye know of to ride on s high seat in the democratic caralcaAe to Sal, ! River.
 In the l6th and l7th districts, xe presume there is no doubt of the nomination and rs. election of the present worthy Senators, Hon, T. A. WARREN and Hon. DAvID NJ. Husr Whom the opposise party may nominase for the same ofices will be of no sort of interest to the future historian, and consequently none to the present. As for Representatives in Gen srnf Assembly, in our County, we presume
