FRIDAY, APRIL I6.
The Harmony, capt. lowering, Of this
port, was at Cape Francois the 10th
March.
We yeaerday received the Columbian
Centinel Of the 9TH infant, and were mo.s
agreeabIy lurpglltl at the taft increafe OF
Federaliiin i'll t;lr fate Of Mlailachuictss.
The Cen,lrci OF that date contains the re-
turn of votes for governor and lieutenant
governor from Suffolk county, from II
towns in E!Icx. from II towns in Middle
lex, one in Briaol, IN Plymouth; 9 in
Norfolk arA 6 in Worcetter; by which
it appears ,ha, the truly republican candi-
date, Mr.. STRONG, has S7o3 votes, and
Mr.. GERRY, the Democratic candidate,
67za, making majority in favor OF Mr..
Strong CT alnott two ihouland votes, and
being upwards of tzyo tbonjaxd t7v0 blu-
dred more v2tei than be received The Aaf
year f,vm t5ofs gerry to1vns.
Mr.. Robbins, and, a." Cur general"
Heath, were the only candidates for the
office OF lieutenant governor. Mr.. Rob
bins will be elected by about the fame ma
jority as Mr.. Strong.
The honorable John Quincy Adams.
Efq. is elected TO the Senate. The ad-
vancement Of this gentleman to high TIA
.ions in political lie, is fincerely to be
wilhed: not becauie he is the i.laarious
fon of an luxurious father, but becaule he
is known to be man of profound fcience,
of great abilities and integrity, and of
the mott extenGye acquaintance with po-
litical and general knowledge.
We could aoi heiitate long fnce to be-
lieve that the mad conduct of the preient
government would have is due effect in
the N. England ilates as we'll as el(e-
where: we however had not promiied
ourlelves 70 iudden and 70 great change
in MaHac hufetts. The an,i-jufice bill,
and the internal revenue bill, taking from
the mouth Of labor and giving TO the lap
of wealth, as we'll as numerous other acts,
would not fail to have great efs6f, an
operation which we dare venture to pre-
dita will be me-, loudly proclaimed at the
next election OF members of Congreis.
When the people at large ihsll difcover
one coordinate branch tearing to pieces
another and at the fame time detiroy;ng our

their bohea tea, their brown fugar, their
molales, and even their lals, to render
lighter the sxpsrces. of the rich who ride
in their chariots, or to encourage intcxi-
cation by taking off the tax on whiikeys;
or to bear the expenses of Beau Dawlon,
in "a national friga:e, to pay a Witt to
France and England or to provide for
their numerous hnecures; WHEN they fee
