For the Massachusetts Spy.1

Mr.. EDIToR-
The freemen Of Worcester South District
are third time called upon to attempt a
choice of Representative for the twentieth
Congress. 1t is to be regretted Gin these
piping times of peace" when the banners Of
the two great political parties, which have so
long divided this State, are furled, and each
seems willing to extend to the other the hand
OF friendship and confidence, and to bury in
forgetfulDess past dissensions, that we should
be reduced to the necessity of making three
trials for selecting man to represent us in
the National Legislature.--B this is not the
worst. When are we to effect our object, il
we continue in the course we have already
pursued? How many more trials will it be
necessary to make? How many more DAYS
will the people of this District he called upon
to desert their various avocations to come up
to the polls, for no other purpose than to de-
post their vote, with the consoling reflection
that in month they must repeat the process
! see not but we have sufficient business of
this kind marked out for US, not only for the
season, but for the year, with fair prospect
OF standing at its close where we did at its
commencement. It appears that the same
measure has been resorted to a third time,
wnlcn mas twice cheated our hopes of a final
termination fthe struggle, and which will a.
gain result in like snccess-namely, the NOM
instion of three or four candidates. It would
seem that those gentlemen who have twice
thrown for political distinction, and twice
thrown the lowest die, ought, out Of respect
for the opinion of the people, who have twice
told them in language not 10 be misunderstood,
that they are not their favorites, to beware
how they venture another hazard. Ifthey do
not, it is to be hoped that the people. by pass
ing them by in silence, will let them know
that their indulgence is not 10 be abused. If
the people exercise the prerogative which is
their right, and follow the opinion which they
have expressed, the Hon. JONAS SiBLEY,
and JOHN DAVIS, Esq. will be the only can.
didates at the approaching ballot; and if SO,
we may indulge the hope Of choice.
OF these two gentlemen wish TO say few
words, and to give you my reasons for prefer
ring one to the other at this particular time. .

proceedings, or Of the list of candidates propos-
ed; but as it was necessary that something
should be done, and the hour was then late,
leaving no time to propose alterations, they
urged reconsideration of the vote, which was
accordingly carried, but few voting any way.
1t should in justice be mentioned, however,
that all were satisfied with the name of Joseph
q. Kendall, who is now of the Senate, and no
objection was made by any body to Mr..
Houghton, and it seems TO have been general
y expected that the names of the two>Sena-
tors, who have not declined a reelection
(Messrs Denny and KendalD would be retain
ed on the list-but there is one man on the
list, very generally objected TO, who, it is sup
posed, would get but few votes OUT OF WoR-
cEsTER, and not many there, and although
the Caucus people place his name on the list,
the people themselves will not.
have stated those facts, SIR, that the peo-
pie may not be deceived, but may act under
standiDgy. Much exception is also taken at
the awkward and injudicious manner in which
the two parties were attempted to be- brought
together The nominating Committee, on
the one part at least, was appointed one day
beforehand, so that there was ample time and
opportunity for jObbing and bargaining.
Whether there was actually any intrigue with
tuo or three of the Committee, will leave to
those who were witnesses to conjecture. Ger
tainly most of them are men so well known for
their honesty and honor, as to be quite beyond
suspicion. But this | do know and declare,
that the people, generally, of all parties, are
dissatisfied, & many of them indignant, at the
proceedings of the late Caucus. But if our
list of Senators must be set up by a Caucus,
hope another attempt will be made, and this
Bull batting avoided,by inviting all those with
out distinction of party who are dissatisfied
with the proceedings at the late Caucus, but
in favor of abolishing party names and party
spirit-otherwise shall vote for

nominations for Representative
to Congress.
For Worcester South District,
JOHN DAVIS, Esq. Of Worcester.
Hon. JONAS SIBLEY.
SUMNER BASTOW, ESQ.

The Electors of Worcester South District
Aave an opportunity now afforded them, by
disregarding former party distinctions, of
making such choice for Representative to
Congress as will elevate the character of the
District. and that too without any sacrifice
of principle. The magnanimous recommen-
dation of the President, to yield "to talents
and virtue alone, that confidence which, in
times of contention for principle, was bestow-
ed only upon those who bore the badge of
party communion the great unanimity with
which it has been agreed to support a union
Senatorial ticket, and the necessity of uniting,
as much as possible, the good wishes of the
community towards the new administration,
all point to this course.
Who then shall be selected by us, to repre-
sent our feelings, and to support and defend
our interests on the floor of Congress? Three
Candidates are now before the public-Jonas
Sibley, Esq. who, although the present incum-
bent, and whose claims, from that very cir
cumstance, derive additional force, has, new
ertheless, inspired so little confidence, that
two different Caucuses of his own party have
passed him by and taken another Candidate
Sumner Bastow, Esq. who at the first trial, al
though supported by Caucus nomination, re-
ceived but about one quarter Of the votes =
and John Davis, Esq. who, resting on his own
merits alone, without any sdventitious aid
whatever, has twice received a plurality of
the votes of the District. Need we any
stronger evidence of his superior claims II
we do, it may be found in the clearness Of
perception and the strength of mind which, in
few years only, have made him the greatest
& most successful practitioner at our Bar,--in
the purity of mind and integrity of principle
which have placed him above the breath Of
suspicion, and in that determination of pur-
pose which leads him 10 the successful &C
complement of whatever he undertakes, and
which ms pires a confidence which has never
yet been misplaced. This is no overweight
panegyrick. For its truth we may appeal to
those who BEST know him-to his clients, who
will, with one accord, bear testimony to the
patient industry with which he has devoted
himself to their business, to the ability with
which he has overcome all difficulties, which
were not insurmountable, and to the honesty
with which he has advised them to the safest
course, regardless of its effect on his own pri-
vate interest.
Such are the men offered for our choice, and
although we entertain high personal respect
for me lwo foruAer, we think it no disparage.
ment TO them to say, that IN oil the essential
qualifications for the Office in question, the
latter stands decidedly pre-eminent.

ADDRESS.
3FELLow-C ITIzESs-

After the lapse of many years of great polit-
dcal excitement, a period has at length arrived
distinguished for remarkable unanimity of opin-
ion. The great causes of divisions and occa-
tsions party contention have long been pass
ing away and it is now a subject of congrat-
ulation, in which every individual may be
permitted to participate, that, of the great
parties which have heretofore divided the
people Of this Commonwealth and of our whole
country, there is scarcely any thing left to dis
turb the public tranquility, except the names
by which they were distinguished.
Deeply impressed with the Importance Of
confirming and continuing state of things, so
favorable to the general interests of the peo-
pie, large portion of the members of each
of the two great political parties assembled in
separate meetings in the town of Worcester,
on the 18th inst. for the purpose of nominating
a list of Senatorial Candidates, magnanimous-
ly resolved that mutual concessions of former
political prediction were due to the spirit of
harmony, which the present times are so hap
PLY exhibiting. And after reciprocally COM
municating their sentiments to each other, the
two meetings dissolved, and united in COM
mon convention, and confirmed the uomina.
ton Of the Union Ticket, which had been
previously reported by committees chosen for
chat purpose, and accepted by each meeting.
