Of the election throughout the State they shall be

1NOTTCE.

A large and respectable meeting of the citi.
zens of Brook6eld was held at the house OF
Merrick Rice, on the esd inst. for the purpose
of taking into consideration the expediency Of
inviting the Commissioners, appointed by the
authority of this Commonwealth, to survey
routes for canals-to survey the route from the
Connecticut river, at Springfield, by the way
of the Chickopee and Quabog rivers, to Bos-
ton harbor. The meeting being organized,
adopted the following Resolutions =
ist-That, in our opinion, Canal from Con-
necticut FLYER at Springfield, to Boston, is prac-
ticable, and that the route by the Chickopee
and Quabog rivers is the most eligible and
advantageous to this Commonwealth.

INVASION OF CUBA.

Alvarado letters to the 28th March,
received in Norfolk, mention, that great
preparations we're making there for the
invasion of Cuba, by the Mexican Au-
thorities; and that 1900 men had sailed
on the expedition the e8lh in eight ves-
sells, two of them American, conveyed by
two gun-boats bound to Campeachy,
where it was said, from 1910 $4,000 men
were concentrating under the command
of General Santa Anna. Ii was also re-
ported at Alvarado, that Bolivar was to
Join the expedition with such forces for
the invasion as TO render success certain.
The New-Orleans papers contain a
proclamation from Santa Anna, dated at
Campeachy, 7th of March, addressed to
his soldiers, in which he says his OBJ
ject is TO obtain possession OF one Of the
principal fortresses of Havana.
A letter dated Campeacby, March H.,
was published some days since in the Ma
tioual lntelligepcer, which stated that the
expedition in question had been coun-
fernandez and abandoned, in conse-
quence Of the arrival of an American
vessel at CamPeachy from Havana,
which conveyed the intelligence of the
arrival at Havana of 5000 Spanish troops
and several ships of war. Santa Annals

wide open, frothing and foaming, contin-
ned 10 advance. They squared them
selves, and severe and doubtful strug-
gle of Is or 90 minutes ensued, during
the whole of which time they were IN
able TO touch her head with their clubs,
SO completely did she parry every blow
with her fore feet, and it was not until
she wheeled to retreat that they were
able to level a blow across her nose
which brought her down, when they
were enabled 10 dispatch her. This singu-
lar and courageous act will do the young
men honor; had the deceased Putnam
been present, he could not have done
more; and his famed wolf hunt scarcely
surpasses the Sheshequin bear fight.

GUorCeGter:
THE GENERAL COURT
WEDNESDAY, May 25, 1926.

Of this Commonwealth will assemble in
Boston this day for the purpose of organizing
the Government of the State, for the ensuing
year. The message of the Governors will.
probably, be communicated to the two Houses
this week, in which case it may appear in our
next paper. From the known liherality, in
dependence, and public spirit, of the Cover
nor elect, such a document is anticipated as
shall be creditable to himself and the State.
So far as our information extends, disposi-
ton prevails, among all parties, to give a COR
dial support to the measures of his admins
tration, so long as the Constitution is his guide,
and the public welfare his object.
The number Of Representatives this year
is very small, and very unequally distributed.
The County of Bristol, with but little more
than half the population of this County, will
have nearly or quite twice as many represent
tatives. The defects of our system of pre-
sentation, have been long felt, and require
some efficient remedy. As at present acted
upon, it is as unequal and unfair, and as I'm.
congenal with the spirit of our government
as the rotten borough system of England
Complaint often made of the instability OF
our laws. and Of the frequent changes in them.
How can we expect it should be otherwise,
when every successive Legislature represents
different set of men from the last, with prob
ably discordant views. 1t is time for the peo-
pie to seriously consider the subject, in order
to adopt mode, whereby the whole number
of representatives, to which the State is en-
titled, may be so reduced that all shall be
chosen, and it shall be expected of all that
they be in their places when the Legislature
is in session.

We are under obligations to our correspon

following extract from a Poem, delivered
before Literary Association, in this town.
And who is he, that aged chief,
Whose brow is bent with care and grief.
AND yet so stately in his wo
That, were it not, pale care will show
Some traces where her path has been,
You would not think his sorrows e'en,
SO sweet smile is resting there,
As though his life was always fair.

How our fathers nobly bled,
Thou art enshrir'd in all their glory,
Lingering DER the mighty dead
Look on, thou distant isle of ocean,
Here thy brightest gem was set,
Nor think so strange of our devotion
10 him, one artist, La Fayette.
What were thy triumphs, Rome, compare
with thiso
paltry show, the merest nothingness,-
The sport of childhood, ere that youthful eve
Has wept in sorrow DER the brave who die.
There is homage which the heart bestcws
More grateful far than all the tvrani knows,
And We have seen it, we have felt the flame:
And, tell me, was it slavery's hateful name.
When he our hero pass'd yon crowded throns
And welcome! welcome! murmur'd all q.
long
when cen the coolest, as he pass'd him by,
NOW wept in rapture though he knew no:
why
Say, were they slaves, and this the tyrant
chain
That bound my country to her thrall again.
Oh no: this is the patriot hero's might,
Our cloud by day, our glorious fire by night.
This, this, the mantle by our fathers giy'n,
Ere they assembled to their native Heaven.
And Greece did slumbor, till my country's
star
shone like blaze of glory from afar;
Then rose in triumph, and, ere yet her chain
was broke, she swore she would be free a.

Daughter of Greece and child Of Liberty?
Wonid that thy Father yet had lv'd awhile
10 see thy blushing cheek, thy artless smile,
10 see thee, Greece, in all thy glorious
pride,
Such as he sung thou wouldst be. ere he died.
Yet thou, his child, will triumph yet to claim
A foreign home, new adopted name.
And love to wander midst their ha!low'd clay,
Relics OF glory, brighter for decay.
And there, perhaps, beneath those distant
skies,
Thy Fathers bust shall meet thy wond'ring

atlantic and Pacific Canal.

The project of a ship canal, to unite the At.
lantic and Pacific oceans through some part o.
Mexico, or the States Of Central America,
has been recently revived. and applications
have been recently made by individuals, for
the exclusive right Of constructing the same.
This subject has been the cause of much spec.
ulation in various quarters. One writer, in
treating of it, on the assumption that the wa
tiers in the Gulf of Mexico are from Is to 16
feet higher than those in the Pacific on the
opposite shore, thinks that such a current
would set through the canal to the westward,
that channel would soon be worn, equal in
magnitude to the Straits of Gibraltar. This.
in addition to the facilities which il would ac.
ford to commerce, he thinks would be pro-
dnctive of consequences Of great Importance,
and highly beneficial to this country THAT it
would, by letting off the waters which accu-
mulate in the Gulf Of Mexico, reduce it to
level with the Pacific ocean, and thereby
drain all the vast marshes in the vicinity of
the mouth of the Mississippi, and render them
valuable for cultiyation-that it would lay
baked the shoals and reefs which abound on
our southern coast, and thereby render navi-
;ation more safe land, finally, in conse-
luence Of the new direction given to the wa
;er, that the gulf stream would cease 10 flow.
lie did not, however, seem to be aware, that
'uch reduction Of the water might also create
great eyils--that, if il laid shoals and reefs

dry which are now dangerous, it might also
make others dangerous which are now cover
ed with sufficient water-and that it might
destroy good harborsby laying them high and
dry.
We apprehend, however, that the whole
theory on which this speculation is founded is
entirely chimerical. With the editor of the
New-Bedford Mercury, we believe that de-
scent no greater than the difference between
the two oceans, in canal of from IS to 80 or
40 miles, would create but sluggish current,
and one which never could materially affect
the channel. We apprchenG, moreover, that
it would be necessary to have locks at the
ends Of the canal, to prevent damage from the
effects of storms and the fluctuations of tides,
in which case there would be no current at
ali. A stronger reason still for the use Of
LOCKS, would be the saving of a very consider
able portion of the expense of excavation,
which otherwise would be necessary. With
out locks, the excavations must be so deep as
to give sufficient depth at lo,c acater, and with
them it would only be so as to give the proper
depth at high acater, where it would be re-
tanned by the locks. These remarks, it will
be perceived, are made on the supposition
that.the canal might be made on a level with
the ocean, and supplied from it. A survey
may prove that some portion Of the route is so
high, as to render this impracticable in
which case the summit level must be supplied
from some source in the interior, and ascend
ing and descending locks will be necessary.
