VF We have attcntiyely perused and re-
perused the long communication of :" Candt-
dus," on the subject of Williams College ;
and really can discover no good reason for
giving ii so much room as would be necessary
for its publication. 1t seems to be intended as
an answer to the communication in our last.
on the same subject-an article which we
inserted, because we were satisfied that it
could not fairly provoke any controversy
That article contained an exposition of the
advantages to be enjoyed by students at VIII
liams College and the writer expressly
waived the +" discussion of the propriety'' of
establishing a rival institution at Amherst
surely, therefore, he did not 6 pronounce up
on its propriety;'' and there is no occasion for
its being defended. If there is no occasion for
it, it is not proper it should be done-at least,
through the medium of this publication
Much less is it proper for us to lend our aid TO
increase the difficulties which have been ex-
perienced by Williams College. There is
nothing to require this, in The communication
published last week-and the interests of pie
ty and of science forbid it. That College is
respectable and useful institution and such.
we trust, will be that at Amherst We regret
to disappoint our correspondent ; but are we'll
persuaded of the propriety of the course we
have taken.

General Election.-The General Court of
Massachusetts convene this day, in Boston,
we have not learned what gentleman will
PROBABLY be elected Speaker of the House.
In the Senate, it is supposed, there will be a
new selection of a President-Mr. Phillips,
the late President, having been elected Mayor
OF Boston. The two Offices are not incompat
ible, but it may be difficult to discharge the
duties of both at the same time.
1t may have been noticed that James Fo,r-
Ter, Esq. has been declared elected one of the
Senators from Hampden County, in the place
OF Gen. Knor. 1t seems this decision is like
~ to be questioned, on the ground that the
latter gentleman is as much elected as the
former, both having majority of all the votes.
The following paragraph is from the Spring
field Federalist
We have received information from Bos-
ton, that DWight, Kilor. and Fouler. all had
majority OF more than 100 votes. This is pos
sibie, and may be made plain by stating the
matter thus.
suppose there are three persons to vote.
two persons to be chosen, and three candi
dates, A. b. & G. One of the voters vote for
A. q b. the :econd votes for 4. & c. and the
third for {. Il B. Three being the whole
number; two make choice, and A. b. & G..
have each that nuiaber, and are consequently
all chosen. Gen. Kn0G was as completely
elected as MIR. Foacler, and we know not nv
what authority the Governour and Council
have decided between them. We hone the
ground taken by the Executive in this instance
will be examined at the Senate board.''
The case above supposed, is not the only
difficulty in the way of ascertaning who is
actually elected where more than one person
IS 10 be chosen. Suppose two are to be elect
ed, and the votes returned to the Executive.
are, for A. & B. so; for c. & d. Al +; for F..
l; FL; G. Il and II. /. How is it to be
determined whether there is any choice. The
number of ballots given we believe is not re-
turned. In the case supposed, there might
have been l0l ballots, rendering 81 necessary
to choice, so that no one would be chosen.
There might have been, also, but SO ballots.
reckoning the votes for F.. & F. as given by
one voter, and for G. s. II. by another. In
the latter case A. & B. would be chosen
In closely contested elections, therefore, it
is impossible TO ascertain who is actually
chosen, unless the number of ballots be known !:
and it cannot be known by the Executive so
long as it is merely required of Sclectmen to
return $ the name of every person voted for, y
and the number of votes'' given for him.
If the number of ballots given were also to be
returned, the difficulty in this case would be
removed

ERIE CANAL

In the "Utica Sentinel of the 9th Nov. last,
perceive that the proprietors OF the passage boats
which ply between Utica and .W0ntezumG, had re
Gently received dividend of 1856 per share; which
lis equal to l56 per cent for the last six months on
the capital employed Such unexampled profits will
undoubtedly invite competition; and the business
will never after this season, yield so rich reward
to the individuals who may enter into it. But let
US examine the clear and certain interest OF the
public, resulting from the single item of the boats
employed by that company on the middle section OF
the canal during six months. That enormous d-
viend was earned by two boats, the ''.hOntpzuma''
and "OnediG Chief" which run daily, except Sun
days. aid which in SO working days, during SIX
months, have nasgated 28,440 miles being con
sdarably more than the whole circumference OF the
Iearth.
The number Of passengers, computing an average
OF 90 to each boat, was $500. The expedition was
foil equal TO that Of the post coaches: and the sa-
wing OF expense, estimated at one third less than
the expense by stages, was Sl2,640.
The amount of toll paid into the state treasury,
on the two boats, during six months (being six
cents per mile) is 5000 which is equal TO the
interest of S60S80 at per cent during that time
1t is expected that double line OF passage boats
will next year, run daily from Schenectada to RI
chester; distance OF 240 miles boat leaving
each OF those places every morning; and another
every evening; and three days allowed for the
passage from the one place TO the other.
This is only "the day Of small things - but the
test of experiment has thus far justified the most
saDguine calculations of the early friends of the
canal. And yet there are CrOaIers who still insist,
that OnOndaga salt is of no value; that potatoes
contain no nutrment; and that the Erie canal is
an unwise project. Jam salts est.

BRITISH PROMISE TO PORTUGAL.

BY the last extraordinary Courier, who left Paris
on the llth and who arrived at Madrid on the 18th
inst we have received letter from London OF the
|4th, the contents OF which are extremely interest
ling under existing circumstances. The person who
wrote it, is worthy OF confidence, and the manner,
lin which, he says, he came to the knowledge oil
what he communicates leaves no doubt of its cor
RICHNESS
The letter states as follows:--
IL can assure you, positive fact, that the
Charge d'Affares of Portugal has requested, by or
der of his government, from Mr.. Gaming, the new
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, an open, categorical
and positive declaration to what would be the
conduct Of Great Britain, in that the Holy Al
lance, united in the Congress of Verona, should
resolve to threaten the independence of Portugal
land to interfere in the internal affairs of that king
DOM
"The Portuguese Minister said, in his note. that
hitherto all the powers of Europe maintained friend
lily relations with his government, except the Empe-
ror OF Austria and the kings of Naples and Sar
Idinia.
Mr.. Canning replied, that he hid not hesitate
ito declare, as the Portuguese Minister seemed to
wish IT, that the British Government would never
consent that Portugal should be attacked on account
of its political opinions; and that the readiness with
which he fastened to dispeI the fears shewn by the
Portuguese Minister, should be considered as
proof that they were absolutely unfounded.'

CONGRESS- OF soYEREIGMs.

We Q4ondon Courier) are sure that the congress
will dsappoint every thing ultra.--We are conf
dent that it will not recommend that it will not
sanctions that it will not suffer any appeal to the
sword to incucate its principles, and 10 enforce its
DEGREES.
The congress has to soothe, not to irritatc-to
heal, not to wound-to promote peace, not to inhict
war. 1t is to bind and knit together more closely
the bonds of union between the nations of Europe.
We cannot imagine any principle OF aggression
that will form the subject OF their delibera
lions. No words, but those OF peace likely to
be heard from the sanctuary. Spain may be adj
monished to profit by the experience Of the mise
res of revolutionary doctrines in a neighboring
kingdom-to listen the lessons Of experience, and
TO the voice Of gratitude; but TO expect active
interference in her internal affairs in favor of either
party, unless she attempt to carry revolutionary
principles beyond her known territories or to put IN
peril the lives of her sovereign and his family
eve will venture to affirm, that the p0acer of
Great Britain a0M not be called into ofrnSive ac-
lion IN the affairs Of Spain. The conduct Of Great
Britain, indeed, has been clearly and broadly traced
in the declaration OF her government during the last
session Of Observation-Disclosures and neutrality
are her deuice. And the foreign journals were
equally impairment aud -lnformed that attemp-
ted to persuade Europe that England had made any
declaration TO the Spanish government, of her in
tention to uphold, by her arms and her influence.
the present system oil affairs against any attack, IN
ternal or external.
"Frapce, to be sure is in more immediate con-
tact with Spain; but we have reason to believe that
her government Will not crafty the wishes of the
utras Of any party. In those wise and moderate
principles we are persuaded, she will at all times
find strenuous and sincere ally and supporter in
the system of his majesty's government in England
These two great countries are most intimately ALI
ed, for the purposes of peace and the most cordial
and amcable intercourse between all nations and
they are either allied connected with every other
government, for the same purpose and with the
same views. We believe that so far from having
any reason to feel apprehensons with respect the
congress, every state in Europe will have tc
say of that august assembly. that the cemenng and
confirming of peace and good will between all Peo
