THE PRESIDENCY.

The time is near at hand, when the ques-
ton, Who shall be the next President? is to
be decided. On Monday, the first day of No
vember, the people of this State will make
choice of their Electors. OF the complete fri.
umph of the friends of Mr.. Adams over the
Crawford Faction, and every other faction
that exists, either ON paper, or in the minds of
few individuals, there cannot remain the
least doubt.
We have no disposition to dictate on the
contrary, we are willing every man should en-
joy his own opinion, and act agreeably to the
convictions of his own mind but when we
see people so far disregarding their own inter-
est as to allow a mistaken policy to lead them
to commit acts which they will hereafter have
cause to regret, we cons ider it our duty to
apprize them of the consequences. That
John @. Adams is the most suitable man in
the United States for President, is not the
question, but is there one among the promi-
nent candidates for the Office so we'll qualified ?
is what we are called upon TO decide. Eel
low-Citizens consider this question we'll, and
then act as your judgment dictates, and we
shall be satisfied with the result.

every honest man to do his utmost in

merely-it is duty--for the neglect of
which, no disappointment, no mor,itica-
ton, no pettishness can form an excuse.
The meanness, the bitterness, the very
wantoaness with which this matter is
treated, is to be sure disgusting enough,
but nothing shonld prevent a freeman
from doing his duty. We say meanness,
ard bitterness, and wantonness, for many
papers are full of each and all. Tales
are told that can answer no purpose
now, and that will surely be found false
in six or seven weeks. Characters are
attacked at points in which they are not

TFor the Massachusetts, Spy.1

The important interests, necessarily CON-
mitted to a Representative in the Congress of
the United States, would be thought, en- all
occasions, to require that the wisest selection
should be made of candidates for that respon-
sible office. More especially would such a
selection be required, when so many reasons
exist to doubt the fitness of the present incum-
bent, and when il is understood that extrane-
Gus efforts are making to have candidate
selected, with reference to his opinions on
the Presidential Question. To the citizens oil
this District in general, whoever may be theiI
favorite candidate for the Presidency, it is OBJ
vious that the vote which their Representa-.
tives may gre on that occasion, will not be
! likely to prove of so much consequence tc
them, as the due discharge of the other great
and important duties devolving on him as a
Legislator.-The man, therefore, whose tai.
ents, ingenuity, habits of investigation, and
knowledge of the interests of his constituents
best qualify him to be useful to his country.
and to do honor to himself, ought certainly to
be selected and without requiring from him
pledge, in regard to the course he may here
after pursue, should the election of President
devolve on the House of Representatives.
nomination in the usual manner had
been expected in this somewhat remote part
of the County, and considerable anxiety was
expressed that it was so long delayed; but
from whatever source it was to proceed, it is
confidently believed that no gentleman could
have been announced as candidate, so ac-
ceptable to the citizens in general, as
JOHN DAVIS, ESQ. of Worcester.
On no occasion within the recollection of the
writer, has nomination been more cordially
received, and from intelligence recently OBJ
tanned from different parts of the District,
there is abundant reason for the belief, that
no one would be more heartily supported.
By many of your readers, it will be recol-
lected that powerful reasons were offered, in
your paper, on former similar occasion, for
selecting gentleman whose period in life
would admit of his being repeatedly reelected
before the advances of old age had destroyed
his ability to be useful.-And the greater in
fuence exerted by the Southern Section OF
the Union in Congress, was justly attributed,
not SO much to the superiour talents of their
Representatives, as to the practice Of con-
tinuing them in office, till their acquaint-
ance with public men and public business
had given them advantages and influence
which new members could not possess. 1t is
certainly an object Of great Importance, that
some such arrangement should be adopted in
this portion OF the country nor can any good
reason be assigned, why the inhabitants of
Massachusetts cannot as well avail Themselves

REPRESENTATIVE ELECTION

The nomination of JOHN DAVIS, Esq. of this
town as candidate for Representative to the
next Congress, we are gratfed to learn meets,
as we expected, with general appreciation.
We do not presume to hope that certain lead
ing members of some of the different interests
in the District will be so we'll satisfied as with
an individual more exclusively devoted to
their views; but to the great body of the cleo
tors, intent only on selecting The best man for
the Representative of a flourishing and impor-
tant District. we despair of being able to pro-
pose gentleman so justly entitled to their
confidence, or one whose election, at the same
time on any ground, will be equally probable.
Mr.. Davis is pledged to no exclusive interest,
yet is prejudiced against none and such a
man alone can be suitable Representative
of the people of Worcester County. Possess
ing an extensive acquaintance with its various
interests--with the sources of its prosperity,
and the means Of its further improve ment-
uniting to sound and discriminating mind the
utmost GOODNESS and candour with too much
| modesty to presume on the infallibility of his
opinions when the voice Of argument is yet to
be heard-and too much independence to sac
rfce his principles through fear or favour.
Mr.. Davis will justly and ably represent " the
Heart of the Commonwealth" If such a
guarantee were necessary, it might be added
that his personal friends are TO be found in
every section, and engaged in every occupa-
ton which is known to the industry of the
District. We hope then to witness, at the ap-
preaching election, an unanimity in his sup
port, which, as it will not be owing to his zeal
as partizan, either in politics or in any of the
theories which are the bases of the divisions
which exist in the public mind, but to his tai
ents and integrity, will be the more honorable,
and ensure in the National Legislature the
future respectability of the District.

For The Massachusetts Spy.l
Mr.. Editor
noticed in your last paper nomination Of
JOHN DAVIS, Esa. of Worcester,
as candidate for the important office of Rep
resentative in Congress for the Worcester
South Congressional District. Although this
nomination was by an individual, and without
the knowledge of Mr.. Da1 is, yet it was believ-
ed TO be in accordance with the wishes of the
electors ofthis District, and since that time, at
the request of large number of respectable
gentlemen, Mr.. DAVIS has been consulted on
the subject, and does not decline being con-
sidered candidate for the office.
| 1t is belle we'd that no other nomination could
have received as powerful support as this will,
because no one in this District is better known
or known to be better man for the situation.
lie has many traits of character which pecu-
| llarly qualify him for the duties of the Office
lie is a youngerly man, already possessing
such political and literary requirements as to
render him highly respectable in the National
Legislature, with mind capable of any at
tainments which his situation may require, an
industry never-tiring, and fidelity which new
| er ought to be distrusted. The advantages
OF electing such man are incalculable.- No
man can at once be qualified for public life.
He has much to learn before he can DE useful
When man advanced in life is elected, moth
ing more can be expected of him than to re-
tain the qualifications which he already pos
sesses. But when man of middle life, and
OF good mind and Requirements, is brought for
ward, it is school to him, in which he is con-
tinually improving, and he soon becomes use
full and influential. Such is the situation of
| Maj. DAVIS.
1t is believed that none Of the Earring inter
ests OF the County can affect Mr.. DAvls's e.
lection-he is an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES family
connexions and intimate friends are many of
them Manulacturers-he stands altogether un-
pledged on these two subjects, and has a
mind open to conviction. Such a man all
ought to be willing to unite in, because every
honest man may safely trust him.
