We also learn, that the brig Thsddeus,
which sailed from Boston with the mlssiona'
ries in Oe tober 1919, arrived at the Sand
wicb Islands, early in April. all well-and
that Mrs LOOMS, on the 10th Of July, was

By the Levant, we have a confirmation OF
the death of the Emperor Of China, and OF
the difficulty between two OF his sons as 10
the successorship. Ore was favorite OF
the people, who wished 10 elevate him; but
the lawful heir was said to be fool, and
unworthy of the high office.
By the Levan, we have the latest news
from the U. S. frIgate Congress. On the
goth of Septembe.', Captain Henley, MIR.
Darrah, his Purser, and another officer, went
up from Lintin to Canton in the ship Le-
want, and Capt. Henley returned to the
Congress, on board the Macedonian, on the
18th October. There had been about SO
deaths on board the Congress since she sail
ed from the United States. but only one
warrant officer The crew was healthy
when the Levant sailed. The Huntress.
from New.York, arrived on the 25th OF
September, and few days after delivered
the supplies which she took out for the Con-
gress. She would probably sail for the
United States about the beginning Of Deem
Der.
Mr.. Reynolds the second mate OF the Lee
want, 10 whom we are indebted for the above
particulars, adds, that the ship Arab, Lew
is, Of Boston, had been at tine Sandwich

sandal wood, had gone to the North West
Coast for Cargo OF spars for the coast Of
Chill, thence back for the wood contracted,

Dir. r. further informs. that in the month
OF February, 1920, some time after the
death ofSing Tamaabmaah, dispute arose
between the legal heir of the throne and one
81 the popular chiefs. An open war ensued,
and the latter, after bloody battle, was
conquered, ano the new king completely
succeeded in abolshing all the ridiculous
! laws and customs, which had always ex-

And glide by The caves of the spirits dark,
Where angry voices, night and day,
Would scare the silver waves awav.

By the caverns of noise, where spirits

The voices that traverse the shore along
The cries Of dark ones. night and day,
To scare the silver waves away.
And o, when near the dreadful wall,
lie: the prayer ascend to the God OF all
The suddens winds he will restrain.
And give US 10 oul wild homes again;
While still the dark ones, night and day.
Cry loud to scare the waves away.
Stately We pass'd the awful caves,
And quickly our oarque leapt Ger The
waves
Now brothers, raise the thankful song
Toll Spirit that waited our barque along
While we heard the voice from point ari

That would scare The silver wave away.

Bead and # yoa are not con-

have hitherto taken very little interest in
the contest for Register of Deeds did not
even attend the polls at the last trial, having
full persuasion on my mind that Dr. Fiskc
was worthy, deserving man, and so well suit
ed to the Office he enjoyed, that little oppos-
ton would be l>ads to his ELECTION.
But the CHARGES which have been brought
against him have been urged with a holiness
which seemed to indicate that they either
originated in the deepest nalignity, or dese.v-
cd regard from having their foundation in
truth. | have, therefore, together with some
Ofmy neighbours, wi ': ut the influence o! bias
prejudice towards either Of the candidates,
examined carefully into such evidences as we
possessed, and find the charges so far support
ei, that we no longer feel Indifferent to the
election, and shall decline voting for DIR. Fiske
for the following among other reasons.
!. We are satisfied, upon reflection, that his
deafness disqualifes him. We regret this ca
la'nity; hut its being proyidential is no reason
why he should be supported, if it renders him
unit for the place The mode for ascer AIM
i,is whether Records are correct is this.-A
person reads the Record to the Register, and
The Register follows upon the original lnstru
maut, ana if any variance appears between
the Record and the original, 1t is by him cor
rccted. 1t is thence necessary that the Reg
iS,er hear the voice Of the reader in every ca
dsare, from high to low, so as to be able to
understand every word which falls from his
mouth, or he will be subject to inaccuracies !;
and thc loss Of single word may change the
wnae tenor OF deed. Take, for example,
the word not. A. agre IS that B. shall have
OF shall NOT have thing. The admission of
mol gives the thing when it was not intended
10 be conveyed. and the insertion takes il
away when it was not intended to be gwen
Ii must be conceded by every one, that man
deaf as Doct. Fiske is, who cannot hear ex-
capt the voice is raised to high key, is much
n, re liable to mistakes; and Records made
up in the mannerI have mentioned, are much
less to be depended ON than those certified by
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1821-11-07

Doct. Fiske no good for his faults heed some
apology besides the countenance of Mr.. Ward.
They ought also to remember, that The cause
which depends for success on throwing .hade
over the character Of an honest man, tests on
a sandy foundation. Mr. Ward is best appre-
ciated where he is best known.-I.ook at tile
votes in the places where he has lived; Wor-
cester, Grafton and Upton, give him over
whelmirg majorities. the Post-Riders are,
unasked, his advocates, and they do more
business in the Office than any other class of
men,-fhey know him and his habits of life.
1t mot so with Doct. Fiske.-Those who
write and distribute Circulars, and who are
louo and vehement in the papers, are, all
most to man, his own family. And what
family will not cry up the open-hearted gene
rosity, the honesty and good qualifications of
its head, when the Registers Office is at
stake? The people seem to think differently
from the family of Doct. FisExe, on this occa-
sion-they came forward, and, almost unask-
sed, at the last election, gave Mr.. Ward more
votes than Doct. Fiske. This was an unbias-
sed expression ofpublick opinion-an opinion,
founded on the good qualities of the man, and
not on any swelling pretentions he set up for
the Office. But there has been great effort
made by the family of Doct. Fiske, and his
creditors, to satisfy the pubiclS that THEY voted
wrong. Great pains has been taken, pitcous
stories lave been told of his poverty, and the
good Offices of a vast number of people have
been sought-5ut, after all, has any good rea-
son been shown why the voters Should change
their minds? Does Doct. Fiske hear better
than he did Has he satisfied us that he has
not habitually taken excessive fees?-Is the
loss, in two years, of the duties on 1,112 In
struments any recommendation ifso, go and
