The Federalists Of Massachusetts will re-
collect that on Monday, April 7, they will, as
semhe in their respective towns to give in
their votes for Chief Magistrate. This duty
is at all times an important one, and peculiar
ly SO at the present period-for the opposers
of our present able and upright Governor are
making their utmost efforts in every section
and corner of the state to prevent his re cleo
ton. Gov. Brooks has administered the gov
eminent OF the state, the year past. with abil-
ity, integrity and mildness. 1t is by placing
such men as Gen. Brooks in Office that our
Republic is TO be perpetuated, and the bless
ings OF civil and religious liberty be preserved.
The opposers of Gov. Brooks are unable TO
point out single instance OF improper con-
duct, whilst in or out of office. During the
past year, if democratic praise could add any
thing TO his reputation, the most respectable
democratic papers in the union have pronoun-
ced his principles and policy, detailed in his
communications TO the legislature, to be pure
w American On the score Of revolutionary
services during the war for freedom aad inde-
pendence, he is second to no one living. He
is free from party violence and prosecuting
and malignant spirit. His principles and dis
position are of the same stamp as his great
friend, benefactor and associate, Gen. w ash
| lngton. Such is Gen Brooks, ana such is tie
man, fellow citizens, you are called upon by
every consideration of your own ara country's
welfare, to re-elect as your Chief Magistrate
for the ensuing year. Let every one that
wishes well to Massachusetts attend the meet
ing and support the re election Of His Excel
lency JOHN BROOKS, and the other cand-
dates named in the federal ticket.
The following communication is from a respeCta-
bic citizen who now is and always has been
decided character in the democratic party.
Nh. SHIRLEY-I am Republican and al
ways have 5een but when | see business
conducted under the name Of Republican in
| the manner the late Caucus at n Yarmouth
was, will bear testimony against t-and
nothing out party can possibly induce me and
a great many more TO vote for the new candi-
date there seected-not but what he is an
| honest man but if a convention can, with
very short notice, be smuggled away into such
twenty-five can conveniently attend, and none
OF them fully represented but a certain large
town, and INSTRUMENTATION be marshaled and
dictated by such man as Capt. b. who hap
pened to have al appointment in the late war,
by he famous Col. Learned, and who, for his
patriotism IN the defence Of Portland deserves
well, tor as | have been informed, the lailor,
being high ia command. retained the patriotic
Capt, h. for the defence Of lhe town and har-
bour. Had the county been fairly represen
ted, the nomination Of one candidate would
certainly have been different
BRIDGTON.
Tie Frehch Government has recently negotiated
seventeen millions sterling with the Messrs Bar
ing Il Co. of London. One half Is to be advanced
in cash, and the other half in cloathng and sup
plies for the allied army in France. This will give
much aid TO the manufacturers Of England.
The Spanish Government is making exertions to
suppress the insurrection in South-America. Two
rigates, three sloops of war ard forty transports
having on board $500 troops, sailed from Cadz,
January 9th, for Vera Cruz, which is to unite with
another squadron and proceed for the Spanish
Maine.
From the state OF votes in New Hampshire, so
Ear as received, it is evident that Plumner is re-
elected. The Federalists had two candidates of
equal pretentions, which seems to have prevented
the usual zeal and activity in supporting the fed
era ticket.
Joseph M'Cann, as accessory with Phillips
in the murder of Denegri, had his trial in Boston
on Thursday, and was acquitted no evidence be-
ing adduced that any concert existed between him
and Phillips. or that the blows he gave were sufi-
Gent TO occasion death.

of Probate for Kennebeck county, in the room of
