I Miss Seward.

The good people of Massachusetts have ever
been remarkable for their n0tiORs and among them,
rot he least, is their wish TO change names. We
do not now speak particularly Of the females, that
we suppose 10 DC general weakness of the sex.
But the men and boys Of Massachusetts are contin
ually petitionng heir Legislature to alter their
names, I've suppose that they sometimes change
their names without Legislative interlerence,) and
70 do justice to the good nature Of that body they
really make pretty work with lie appellayrs Of in
diyduaIs.
There is scarcely Session of general Court
Of Massachusetts, that does not alter the names Of
some sixty or seventy persons, males and females,
old and young.
In the statement Of The acts Of the last session of
the Massachusetts, Legislature there is one, author
ising about sixty persons TO assume new names
Some of which may be considered rather fantastical
than otherwise. There WIS enc person who bore
the good, every day name Of John j. S.eeper-real.
ly quiet sort of an appellaton, he lorsooth must
answer to The more sonorous Call Of {0maNzo Uar-
rick Montgomery.
Another person named Dval CHATS H'ia name, N
is to be- called Ulder.
This sweeping act effects whole families. Thus
We notice family by the name Of Tarbox, is to be
called Thorndke, another has had It's name chang
ed from CleyerIy to Cooridge.
Good Gen Sir Richard And If yonr name be
Dick, III call Son Harry" q. $. Gazette
Ihe republican members Of Massachusetts Le-
gisiaure have nominated Uitiiam Eustis, as can
dida'e for Governor, and Marcus .Iorton, for
G'euienant Governor, at the ensueng election.
