DEDICATION.


The new Congregational Church in Dud-
&ey,was consecrated to the worship of God on
the 18th ult. An excellent and appropriate
discourse was delivered by the Rev. MIR. Will
liams from Psalms 1913 to full and respec-
table audience. The choir of singers under
the guidance of Mr.. E. Perry performed sever.
al select pieces Of music in a style highly ami.
mated& impressive. The neat and elegant ap-
pearance of the edi6oe with its decorations,
bore honorable testimony to the skill and fdel-
ity Of the builders, as we'll as to the taste of
the ladies, and the magnificent liberalty of
the inhabitants of Dudley which, together
with the unity and harmony thus fars MAIN
tanned in the Society afforded, it is hoped,
suspicious tokens of its future prosperity.
We feel no unfriendliness toward Mr..
CRAWFORD. We wish him personally
in health and prosperity long to live.

We cannot separate Mr.. Crawford from
the Caucus. We cannot make fish of

II is ofvery little consequence to us
which of the candidates shall be elected.
But it is of vast importance to the peo-
pie, that they should be permitted to
choose their own President and that
their choice should be unshackled by
any artificial expedient. 1t is of the
utmost importance in this case that the
genuine principles Of democracy should
DE triumphant; and we are now willing
to receive such President as the uni
versai sentiment of that democracy shall
demand, Let principles prevail and
names be. extinguished.

PROBATE SALARIES,

1t will be seen by reference to the laws
on our first page, that the mode of compensa-
ton to Judges and Registers of Probate, by
fees, as heretofore practised, is changed for
specific salary, to be paid by the State. A
striking inequality in the salaries to be paid
in the several counties, in proportion to the
services performed, must be obvious to every
observer, as will appear by the following COM

great man. 10 see his opinion distinctly set forth in

letter from Washington TO President Adams, which
have accidentally seen in some Of the papers, and
which presume is the alluded to by your COR
respondent. How remarkably Mr.. Adams has full
filled the anticipation of Washiugton,s well known

nong the first statesmen of the present age cannot
be denied. That he is by far the best qualified OF
either of the candidates. for President of the United
States at this time is equally certain. have not

have been repeatedly challenged to produce one,

they can do they will be eager enough to do it The
