16TH DISTRICT.
The claims of HOMER BOARDMAN to

 the respect and confidence of the Electors

 Ofthe l6th District, are thus fOrcibly stated

 in the American Mercury, which has done

 more for the cause of genuine republican,

 ism than any other paper now extant in

 Connecticut.

 Among the various republican candidates for the Senate at the coming election, no one stands more conspicious than the Hon. Ho- mer Boardman of the 18th district. MT. BOardmai is known to the electors of this State as firm undertaking republican of the Jefferson school-as a man of talents and un- compromising integrity-as one whom they have tried in various political emplOyments. and found "capable, honest, and faithful to the constitution" He was firm and con- sistent supporter of Mr.. Adams administra- ti0n, and is not disposed to yield his faith and principles to the dictation of the Regen- cy established in this State, by Jackson. Green and Van Buren consequently he must be denounced.

 The dictators, finding that MT. Boardman's republicanism was too infallible for their pur- pose, directed nominatiOn to be made for the 18th district, of man of different char acter. Accordingly some half dozen crea- lures ofthelrs, hungry Jacksonans, were as- sembled at Woodbury on the 9th inst. and nominated Charles A. Judson, to be sup ported for Senator from that district, and or dered the fact to be recorded in the Hartford Times. -1

 Of MT. Judson we know nothing, save that he is the Sheriff's deputy, a Jackson man, and is represented as wholly incompetent.- MT. Boardman we do knOw-and knowing him as we do, we trust we shall not be found backward in speaking of his merits. His re- publicanisln, is undoubted, his talents un- questioned, and his integrity universally ac- knowledged. He is a friend of the Union. a friend of New England, friend to COnncti- cut, a friend of popular rights, and to the re- Iigious, civil and literary institutions of our country.

 The freemen of the 16th district know him well-they have been proud of him here. tofore. and we trust they will not now for sake him, for one, of whom they know but little, save that his political feelings are with those who are hostile to New England and her free institutions.
