The Legislature of Massachusetts has by law for
hidden the substitution OF affirmation Tor an cath,
in OF justice by those who are conscientious
ly scrnpulous upon the subject, the Quakers, &c
because it would have mischievous tendency, TO
discredit witnesses in civil and criminal trials" We
regret such an oppressive decision, by the General
Court Of so respectable stale and really think that
something less than sound Judgment must have
been exercised when the bill proposing an opposite
course negatved. 1t certainly could not have
entered the heads of these Legislators that a man
would be prevented from perjury b. the triling DIFF
ference between 4 strear and affirm. 1t is the
publicity and consequences Of perjury thar el:tit
truth in court, and not the swear" OF an unprin-
cipled person. There is something little contra
dictory in the practice of the good people of Massa
chuseits. The constitution Of that state makes pro
vision 1--WE speak from our iRapressions) for the
affirmation of the Governor if he is conscentiously
scrupulous Of an oath, and the Legislature refuses
the admission OF affirmation in .f'penny biz suit
before justice. We think such discussion "an-
becoming moral and religious peopLe,' and ought
TO be e9paRsed from the legislative records.

CREEKS.--An article from Constan,ibop?e o
October % observes whilst the Journals Of SrRyr
ma and their contemporaries we're announcing fhe
victory at Lapsi, on the LIST of October and fol-
lowing days, over the Schapetals Abanese Of Sko-
pdra. The loss of the Turks was 1000 men. The
Greeks had 200 men killed and IS women for
the Etoian females have formed corps which do not
yield in valor to their husbands and brothers. They
have also to deplore the loss Of one of their best
captains, Starnsris Travellas, who died with his
arms in his hand. 1t is said that after his combat,
the Aibahese CONNIE ced their retreat and indeed
the thing seems so certain, that may regard the
Campaign as terminated
We have before US short but interesting let.er
from Semlin, which confirms our former sdvices
that Marco Bozzaris had nobly avenged the death
OF his gallant brother Constantine in manner wor-
Thy oil him. At the last defeat Of the pacha Of Sou
tart, among he prisoners taken were six hundred
Latin Christians, whom Bozzaris seLt to their
homes, after approaching them for having fought
against their Christian brethren According TO the
latest private letters from Macedonia and 1hessaiy,
il appears that far as the Peioponessus is con-
cerned, the Greeks have nothing more to fear. 1t
is true hat bags full OF human ears, stated to be
those Of slain Greeks, and for which the Porte ac-
cording to ancient custom, pays a certain sum, are
sent from time to time as trophies TO Constantinope
But The Franks ae no longer deceived by this, as
4t is certain Fact that the Turks cut of the ears
OF their own dead, heh they deliver TO the Porte
as those of christians.

resident at Smyrna, giving very favorable account
of the affairs oil Greece.
SMYRNA, Nov. %, 1928.
The Greeks go on famously. A naval action has
lately been fought in which the Greeks captured a
sloop of war, several briggs, schooner, and trans
ports. The soop OF war was formerly an Ameri
can ship belonging to New-Yotk, captured by the
English during the war, and sold lately to the Turks.
P. S. have just time to add, that we have this
moment received official news Of the surrender Of
Cornh 10 the Grecan army, under capiuation-
the prisoners TO be landed in Asia The Greek
vesses, with the prisoners, in the Gulf with

FOR THE wATcHMAN.

Mn Epr1on-I assure YOU feel no little gratfca-
ton in observing that Truth in defiance of all opposition,
has gained the victory; that the able board of Engineers,
in connection with the Directors of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Company have unanimously adopted a
route forthe Canal and that in situation, that, but short
time back, considered unworthy of notice. But at
the request of the Canal Company the interchangeable and
Experienced Engineer, Mr. John Rands, commenced a
thorough examination of the route, and by most able
and lengthy report, proved to the satisfaction Of men OF
science, well fanatics and others, that Canal can be
iccced upon the lower Cor ST. Georges route, not only
for less money, but in that will ensure more per
manency, and better interest for monies invested in ii,
than Canal upon either of the other proposed routes
Ii perusng the last number of the Delpare Gazette,

Die than the rest of lis neghbors and has attempted by
his mode Of scury to oppose the decision, by
abusing the Directors well as the character of MIR
