JUNTOISM TRIUMPHANT.
BoSTON, May IL The federaiists of
Boston, in obedience to the decree of the
JUNO, yesterday assembled in Fanueil
Hall, and voted 10 send the enormous and
unreasonable humber Of FOEfY-FlVE
Representatives 10 the General Court
Among The advantages 10 be derived from
this measure, are,
Isl. Subiecting the Town Treasury TO
draft OF about $4,000, il the Represent
aiiVes choose to demand it.
I'd. Proving TO our country brethren
the exercise of an undue Influence, ii they
da not choose TO demand IL; asst is ut
1erly impossible for them TO send Repre-
sentat,ves without expense.
81. Exciting the jealousy of the ciii-
Gems in other parts ofihe Commonwealth,
by smch arbitrary and unfair proceedings,
and inducing them, al some future day,
(perI,aps not far distani) to Temore the seat
of government from Boston to Portlasd,
PntgfeM, Plymouth, Worcester, Concord,
or some other town even more remote
from Boston. A strong argument iii sup
port of such measure igbt be, that AS
the Constitution provides that SIXTY mem
bers may form quorum Of the House o
Representatives, Boston can al any and all
times have forty fire Si-rtiethS of the quo
rum on the spot, withOut crpesse, While
other towns are obliged TO pay for every
hour they are represented, and even then
cannot keep their Representatives all tie
time OH the ground. Patriot.
The Town Meeting was yesterday o.
pened at ten o'clock. After AN apprOpri-
ate prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Pierpont, a
motion was made 10 send 40 representa-
lives, and another to send 10. An ani-
mated debate arose upon these PROPOSE
fions, which continued until nearly IL
O'Clock, when the question was decided
by hand vote, in favor of As. The motion
In favor of IL was very ably supported
by the hon Benjamin Austin, Jas. Prince,
esq. James t. Austin, esq. Henry Orne,
esq. and several other gentlemen and
opposed by Mr.. Webster, and others
The hall and galleries we're filed al very
early hour. II was pleasing 10 behold so
large all assemblage of freemen, couven-
ed TO exercise, Without turbulence or dis
order, the invaluable right Of suffrage.
The iederalists voted for rs, the repub-
licans for IL. The federalists succeeded
by majority OF 4SS only and had ALL
the republicans voted who were present,
this number would have been essentially
lessened. We regret to state, but such is
the fact, that many republicans left the

vas decided 10 send 10. They thought it
OF no importance TO remain and vote. Ii
Is The opinion of many, that some hnD.
dreds OF republican votes we're lost in this
May. This was very inpolitic, as there
was possibility of cleciing their candi.
