Our Congressional Nomination

The Stamford Aduocate continues to dis cuss the pending Congressional nomina- tion in this district The faithfulness with which our present. hard working Represen- tative sticks to his post has made him ma- ny friends in Fairfield county, and we should not be surprised at his renomina- tion. Still, the general impression seems to be that the nomination will go out of our county, and if the Fairfield delegates urge the claims of one of their best men with any thing like unanimity, he would, we should judge, be chosen without diff culty.
 The Adeocote mentions one name, of worldwide notoriety, which Litchfeld county would most firmly oppose. We have heard whispers of primary meetings manipulated by skiliful hands, in his favor; also counterw whispers of denial Of the views of our people there can be no doubt Such nomination would endanger q vic tory otherwise easy.
