An anonymous correspondent has subject ed us to tax of ten cents, for the important information, that Judge Niles, of Hartford, the Republican District candidate for Senator. is warm Jackson man and expresses vast astonishment that the people appear so will ling to give the influence of this state to the ' Military C!,ieltain.' We trust the people of Connecticut are not willing to give their 1 support to Gen. Jackson; but We trust they are willing. at the present time,--when the principles of Districting appear to be gaining ground, ito regard the wishes of their repub | lican brethren of Hartford county, and sup port the man of their choice, in relation to the candidate from that county. The Re- pubIcans of Hartford county will support Mr Niles, five can judge from appearances, and 1 if he is their oh, ice, they have right tosex- pect the cooperation of their republican brethren in other counties. It is ridiculous to call this change in Hartford county fede- raj innovation ;-the federal papers in Hart ford do not support MT. Niles, and that too, because he has always been firm and con- sistent republican. while Mr. Welles, to say the best of him, has always kept one foot in the old federal path. MT.

The friends of the Caucus Ticket complain that the course now pursuing by republicans, is ungenerous, inasmuch as they have here toEore supported caucus tickets; and to reject it now is to cast contempt upon the members of the caucus, as also upon the candidates named by them ;--they assert that the discipline of the party requires that the caucus ticket should be supported, even if the men brought forward by it are not the first choice of the freemen. The course pursued by republicans is not un- generous, because they never delegated their representatives to appoint officers over ,hen,-they have heretofore submitted to an evil, rather than create contention; but when the evil had grown into an abuse, they could not, with justice to themselves. submit to it any longer. We will speak of the candidate for Congress from this conn- ty, in exempli6cation of the subject. MT: Merwin is the decided choice ofthe old re- publicans of Litch6eld county; and had he been nominated for re-election, the nominating caucus would have consulted or acceded to, the wishes of their constitu- ents; and no ground of complaint would have been preferred against them, although the principle, bad in itself, would not have
