The election in Boston has been warmly
contested. Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER and Jes-
Sc Putnam, Esq. were the candidates. The
former was opposed violently by the new
"Middlng Interest" party, and, by the old
school Democrats. The contest has been for
the ascendancy Of the new party, rather than
for principles and to accomplish this object
was the avowed effort of those who did not
pretend to deny the extraordinary qualifca-
lions of Mr.. Webster. But we are happy in
being able to announce the election of Ms.
Webster, by majority of 1918. The votes
were. for MIR. w. 1888 for MIR. p. 1857; scat
tering, 3. We congratulate the people of Bos-
ton, and Of the Commonwealth, upon this re-
suit.

SHIPWRECK.

A dreadful shir--ecK occurred on
Long Island, in the gale of Sunday
night. A gentleman arrived in town
last evening, from Babylon, who states
chat parts of the wreck of an apparently
old ship, came ashore near Fire Island
Inlet, on Monday morning, with parts of
the cargo, such as pieces of crates and
coal. The bodies of ten men, habited
as seamen, had also drfted ashore, and
another dead body was seen in the surf.
From all the description we could OBJ
tain, it is much feared the above wreck
was the ship Savannah, Capt. Coles,
which sailed from Liverpool for this
port on the 18th of September, and was
last seen on Sunday, by the British ship
James, which arrived here on Wednes-
day. .Ner. ADJ.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION
~GI/l/t|L1l>lII -

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
On Monday last, meetings were held,
throughout this State, for the election of thir-
teen Representatives to the 18th Congress of
the United States.
In Forester South District the candidates
were Hon. BENJAMIN ADAMS and Hon. Jo-
mas Sibley. The meeting in this town was
very thinly attended, not one half the whole
number of electors being present. The votes
were for Mr.. Adams, II for Mr. SibIey, 80 :;
Edward D. Bangs, 3; Levi Lincoln, / i; Seth
Hastings, /.
The following are the returns OF votes in
this District. They are compared, so far as
was practicable, with the votes given at the
election in 1920, when Mr.. Russell was elect
ed by large majority.

that, to use the common phrase, s salary
IS no object" and the Glamour against

sordid motives, utterly void Of founda-

necessary to defend Mr.. Canning in par

fer such arguments Of indifference to
Mammon as these before US. We be-
lieve that even the Chancellor would
prefer, his poor 3O,OOOL year and an

pointment that the genius of prodigality
could assign to him under burning sun,
and deprived of a complacent audience
for his accustomed term jokes. But
really this measuring the purity of pub

difference between the profits of two
given appointments, would present them
in very base point of view. The
Courier gives sort Of problem, thus,
that Mr.. Canning rises in general esti-
nation in proportion TO the difference
between the emoluments of Governor
General of India, and Secretary of For

never displayed any indifference TO

to salary but still he has done what
most of his coad)uIors were incapable vi,
for he once abandoned office from hon
durable motives, and refused to square
his conscience TO his interest. His

scope to much curious observation

WILLIAM MANNING,
SAMUEL B. MANNING.

The Senatc--We expressed, last week, our
construction Of the Constitutional provisions
in relation to the Senate-asserting the doc
trine that, since it was impracticable to COM
ply with all OF them, those ought to be disre-
garded which are inconsistent with THE FUN
DAMENTAL PRINCIPLE Of representation an the
Senate, according 10 taxation. We argued
that the provision concerning sac Senators
was merely directory to the Legislature in
settling the eTtent of a District, and not re-
strictive Of the right of the people of District
to be represented in the Senate according to
the proportion of publick taxes paid by them.
Hence we inferred TIT as, in the case of Bos-
ton, the Legislature could not obey the in
junction not to make District whose proper
ton Of taxes should &C entitle the same to more
than SIX Senator's" the provision must, of ne
eessity, be disregarded; and the town of Bos-
ton must form District, which, in fact, Is
" so large as to entitle it to more than six SEN
ators, rts. to thirteen: And, if SO 6 enttled''
by the Constitution, we thought, and still
think, that thirteen Senators ought to be ap-
portioned to that town, until the Constitution
be amended.
The Editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser
has published our article of last week, accom-
panied with the following observations =
GIVE copy the following remarks on an i'm
portant question from the Worcester Spy On
two or three points, however, we hold a very
decided opinion, different from that here ex-
pressed. We shall quote the article from the
Worcester paper, and shall then add few re-
marks.n
The following are his remarks.
~. We maintain that the Constitution does
not admit Of the division of any town for the
formation of the Senatorial districts. 1t is re-
CURED that the elections of Counsellors and
Senators shall be made at 10sca-Meetings hold
en- annually, and that at such meetings every
male inhabitant, &c. shall have a right to
give in his vote for the Senators for the district
OF which he is an inhabitant." AT these town
meetings the Selectmen are required to pre-
side-to receive the votes of all the inhabit-
ants present and qualified to vote for Senator'S
to sort and count them in open town-meeting
Ito attest, seal up, and direct to the Sscreta-
ry record of the persons voted for, and of the
number Of votes, which is to be made by the
Town-Clerk. 1t would be palpable perver-
sion of this language, in which the proceedings
to be had at the town-meetings are infinitely
described, to contend that at such a town
meeting there could be two or more elections,
nv inha hifantq of da+ach ad y,arfe oc tl,o fou,n
voting in separate districts, and all under the
