The Legislature of this State will meet by
adjournment, at Boston, on the first Wednes-
day OF January, instead Of the second. as has
heretofore been usual. The session will. for
various reasons, be an interesting one. The
subject of specyfck taration will probably be
again brought up; and, if so, we hope it will
be settled by adopting, generally, the system
which is successfully pursued in other States.
There can be no good reason why the people
OF Massachusetts, should not as well as those
OF other States, avail themselves of the vari-
GUS sources of revenue which are within their
reach. At the same time, great care should
be had in framing the system, and in adjusting
Its parts, so that no injustice be done TO indi-
VIduals who may come within its operation.
The petition for the incorporation of the
blackstone Canal Company will be acted on
at this session. No serious opposition is an
tlcpated. Nevertheless, those whose duty
1t is, will, no doubt, see to it, that the busi
ness does not suffer from neglect. We hope
the provisions of the bill which may be pre-
pared, will be such as to secure TO all interest
ed, speedy as well as equitable adjustment
OF claims which may arise from the location
Of the Canal.

~.<IIz11l.1. -

We have heretofore minated that our pur-
pose in adverting TO this subject, from time to
time, is not to excite the feelings of our read
ers in favour of either Of the candidates but
TO keep them informed of the state of the con-
test, and Of such circumstances as may ind;-
cate the prospects Of the several competitors.
If appearances are to be relied upon, the
cause Of Mr.. Crawford rather loses strength.
1t is said that the election OF Clerk Of the
House of Representatives, was influenced by
the supposed partially of one Of the candi-
dates for Mr.. Crawford. Mr.. Temple, of Yer
mont, in several Of the first ballotings had the
largest number of votes; but, upon its being
represented that he was favourable TO Mr..
Crawford's election, he failed Of obtaining the
office; and Mr.. Clark, of Pennsylvania, who.
on the first ballot had but two votes, was e.
lected. A recent election of Senator in
Congress, from South Caroline, has also been
decided with reference to Mr.. Crawford. The
present Senator, Mr.. Smith, who was suppos-
ed to be favourable to the election Of Mr.. C..
has been displaced by the Legislature, and
gentleman elected who is friendly to Mir.
Calhoun. How far these circumstances are
indicative of Mr.. Crawford's final success or
failure, our readers win judge.
In the mean time, it is said that Mr.. Ad-
amss prospects are becoming brighter-that
he stands better at the West for all that he
has done and suffered We doubt. however
whether he viii receive much support there.
Kentucky has nominated Mr. Clay, and will
probably vote for him. Tennessee has noni-
mated Gen. Jackson and, if compelled to vote
for any other, will prefer Mr.. Clay to an East
ern candidate. 1t is not difficult TO be ner-
suaded that Mississippi, Louisiana, and Mis-
souri, will support Southern or Western can
dldate. MIR. Adams, therefore, probably can
not be elected unless he receive consider, HE
support from the middle and Southern States
II he receives such support, it will be owing to
conviction of his superior claims to it; for
there is eVidently no great Partially for him
in that quarter,
