 COPPER CONGRESSIONAL. CoNvENr1oS The Copperhead Convention for this Congressional district net at Bridgeport on. W Wednesday of last week, and was cheerful as 8 funeral. The doughty chieftain of Colebrook acted as chief mournsr and driver of the hearse.i Big taars stood in his eyes as he lamented the "gloomy times and faded hopes into which the fierce democracy had fallen. Solemnly hes called the roll of the little band before him, and they were pound to number sixty-four sous (small. .ones) all told. Nominations for Congressman were called for and Wm. 5. Pomeroy, of the Bridgeport Farmer, that :" persecutsd marty to democratic principles" as u delegate called him, was nominated by exclamation. But Mir Pomeroy felt himself too unwell to attend to the arduous labors sought to be thrust upon him. and Wm. E. sTaylor. os I Dan n bury, was the next .chdice of the copper faced mourners. The selection Was worthy ot the caucus that made it,and ths cause that susf aihs it. Mr. Tay ylor Is aone of the most bitter, yru- lent.5 fail-blown copperheads in the district, better known iny Fairfield County than here, abouts. but the odor of whose 'rsputution rises even to our hills. The people will attend his political obsequies on the Sd of April.in lga
