CHARLESTON, DEC. 90.
We have an arrival from Havana this morning.
with accounts OF commotion there, occasioned by
a late election or appointment of Deputies to the
Cortes. 1t seems, the acting Governor, having
pursued course contrary to the wishes of the
European Spaniards, was about to be depossd by
them, when the Creoes ofhe country rose en- aaasSe,
(report says 7000) and came down to the City,
mounted and armed, when the other party relinqui-
shed their points. An attempt had been made by
a party to possess themselves torcbly of schooner
fitted out for the coas; of Africa, doubt with
view of converting her into pirate, but had been
repused with some loss. One or two American
vessels had also been robbed in the barber. The

WORCESTER,
THE NEXT GOVERNOUR.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1928.
-e<Z<IIZ/r~

Being relieved from the discussion relative
to Representatives to Congress, we are en-
abled now to call the attention of our readers
to the much more important election of
Governour. The Address accompanying the
nomination ofthe candidates presented in this
paper, deserves to be attentively read and
pondered on. II is now evident that the par
ty in opposition to the present administration
of the state government are seeking TO restore
the days of party violence and prescription
again make the interests Of the State subordi-
nate to their interests. 1t does not suit them,
that the government is well administered, so
long as it is not administered by them, and for
them. Calculating upon the aversion of the
majority to party excitement-upon their dis
inclination to become engaged in the turmoil
of contested election-the minority have
seized the present moment to renew violent
warfare upon the political character of the
majority, upon the principles they have sup
ported, and the men they have honoured.
Their g voice is still for WAR;
The question, then, about to be decided, is
not merely whether Mr.. Otis or Mr.. Eustis
shall be the next Goyernour. So far from this
being the real question, the party by which
Mr.. Eustis is nominated have in their pub
LEGATIONS scarcely adverted to the relative me-
rits of the two candidates. Indeed, upon that
point, the discussion on their part would be
hopeless. But the true question is, whether
the upright and impartial administration of the
friends of STRONG and BROOKS shall continue,
or whether the people of this Commonwealth
will become traitors to themselves, abandon
the principles by which they have been gov
erned, denounce the patriots in whom they
have confded, and surrender the State into
the hands Of men who stigmatize them, and
those whom they have deemed worthy OF
honour, as enemies Of their country-of the
men whose political maXims aud designs are
such as were avowed and accomplished during
the memorable years of Mr.. Gerry's admins
tration. Such is, in fact, the question to be de-
cided by the election upon the first Monday OF
April,
Upon the Federal Republicans of this couh-
tyrests, therefore, large responsibility. They
have contributed much to the long political
quiet which the State has enjoyed. Upon
them depends very much its continuance.
When the peace and welfare Of the Common
wealth is threatened, they aciA mol fold their
arms IN hstless irlaction.

CONGRESS-.

The session of Congress terminated on Mon
day last. The business of the last ten days
has been little else than the completion of the
usual appropriation bills, and of bills not gent
orally interesting. The bill in addition to the
Revolutionary pension law, authorizing the
Secretary of War, in certain cases, TO restore
pensioners whose names had been struck from
the list, has finally passed the Senate. 1t was
once rejected by a small majority but the
vote was afterwards reconsidered, and the bin
passed, "a to 90. On the Oath Feb. discus
sion of novel and some what interesting
character took place, upon bill to divorce
john Wheelwright, of Alexandria, and Caro-
line Eliza Wheelwright, his wife.

ground OF the insanity of his wife, at the time

OF the increase of the malady, until it became
entirely settled and contirmed of its having
now continued for several years, and the be-
Lief, lin which he has the opinion OF the physi-
clans in whose care she has been placed, y that
the insanity is incurable. A long and feeling
debate took place on this bill--chIefy ON these
points: whether the insanity actually existed
at the time of marriage, SO as to render the
contract Void--whether an affection of this
character ought to dissolve the marriage con-
tract-whether, If it was entitled to relief, the
tribunal appointed for the purpose of granting
such relief in the State OF Massachusetts,,
(where the marriage was contracted) was
not the proper place for the petitioner to seek
it-whether it was right for Congress to grant
divorces at all, Lit has never yet granted one,l
&c. &c. 1t was agreed on all hands, the
facts being generally admitted, that il was
case of great hardship. Messrs. Barbour and
Southland advocated the bill with much ear
nestness. 1t was opposed by Messrs. King, of
New York, Benton, Mills, Holmes, Of Maine,
and Chandler. Mr.. Lloyd Of Massachusetts,,
