the box, which is inserted in the hub, has the
greatest diameter, so that it can easily be firm

in the Worcester South Congressional Dis
tr'ct, that the Hon. JONAS SlBLEY. of SUIT,

Congress: And as an individual to express
an opinion that he is, under all circumstances,
the best qualified to discharge the duties OF
a Representative to Congress, of any of the
candidates who have been proposed. lie
has already been there long enough to be-
come familiar with his duty, and to enable
him TO discharge it as will be honorable and
advantageous to his District. Mr.. Sblcy, it
is true, is not gaudy or snowy man, but
possessing strong powers Of mind, and excel
lent good sense ; his industry is far more than
an equivalent for all the frothy eloquence of
a host of disclaimers. His connection with, and
his knowledge OF the great interests of agricul-
ture, must certainly, and ought to endear him
to the whole farming community; while bis
experience, his integrity. and his assiduity,
acknowledged by all, entitle him in my hum.
BILE opinion, to the confidence and the support
OF all. In short, sir, not to occupy TOO much
OF your space, nor in these burning times 10
tax too far the patience of your readers,
let the people be entreated TO consult their
own substantial interestby giving a hearty
and successful support 10 their worthy fell

TIE ELECTION.

This subject is so we'll discussed by our
correspondents, that it may be considered
supererogatory in us to add any thing fur
Their; yet we cannot forbear the remark, that
it is not the possession of any one or two of
the requisites for Representative that should
entitle either of the candidates to our votes.
We should place it on this broad ground
Which Of the two candidates is best qualified,
by his talents, requirements. and habits OF
life, to represent our feelings and Interests
correctly, and to defend them with ability on
the floor of Congress /? To decide by any mar
rover principles, is an abuse Of the elective
franchise, and an act of injustice to ourselves
and to the community. Tested by this rule,
we cannot believe there is an eLector in the
district, acquainted with the two candidates,
who would not give the preference to Maj.
DAVIS. Possessing talents Of superior or
der, and great industry and application, he
distinguishes himself in whatever situation he
is placed. On the other hand, his competitor
has no pretentions to talents above mediocri-
~, and although he was several years in
the General Court, in the prime of his life,
he never attained to any emiBence, even
there; the greatest credit that ever was claim
ed for him, was that of being useful member
ofthe Committee on accounts, reputation to
which any tolerable schoolmaster or trader
might easily acquire.
After all, it is probable that every person
who W i'll carry vote, has concluded who to
cast ii for The most we have TO fear is, from
supineness and indifference. We hope, how
ever, that every elector who has tn honor
and welfare of the District at heart, will do
his duty by coming forward at the polls,
and giving his suffrage for JOHN DAVIS,
Esq.

We have received Communication from
which we make the following extracts.-The
lateness of the hour at which it was received,
prevents our publishing it entire.
The recommendation most strongly INSISTED
on in favour Of Mr.. Sibley, is, that he is prac-
tical farmer; with view undoubtedly to el-
list the feelings and excite the sympathy bf
farmers in his behalf. But | am practical
farmer, so are many OF my neighbours and seI-
eral Of them have had equal experience with
Mr.. SibIey, excepting his congressional carctr
of two years, in which have never heard that
he has done much honour TO himself, or 20 bis
constituents and yet ! tell them that neither
nor they would consider ourselves qualified
for the station. And what is there either in
Mr.. Sibley's natural endowments, or his ac-
CURED abilities, that should render him supe-
rior to us: We are in habits Of daily inter
course with him, and we discover no marks Of
this alleged superiority. The fact, strongly
suspect is, Mr.. Sibley's friends have thrown
around him mysterious mantle of wisdom,
which he has no right to wear, if we may judge
from the acts of public life, in which he has so
long figured
Shall we then continue to heap honours mp.
on man who wears them with so i'll grace
Shall we, because by sort Of political mag
ic, he has once attained this responsible sta
ton, maintain him in it until he is superannu-
ated This is in fact the argument, and it
seems to ms weak one. Because we have
once beenfed into an error, see not that it is
reason why we should pursue it, in the full
light of conviction that it is an error.
But what is the alternative? Who is the
other candidate offered to our choice: Major
Davis is known in this district. He is known
as man who has devoted his life to liberal pur.
suits, who, ia the midst Of his professional avo.
cations, has not neglected studies OF more
general charac ter.-As a politician, he is
known to be well informed, and upright +; as
scholar, extensively read; as a reasoner,
acute; and as public speaker, eloquent
add to all this the principal qualification of Mr..
Sibley, he is also farmer. Can we then hest.
tate to which of these two gentlemen to give
our suffrages' cannot. And | must say il
will be to me source of no small disappoiut-
ment, should Mr.. Sibley be elected-notwth-
standing, am,

The friends of Mr. Sibley cal upon us to
send him to Congress because lie is farmer.
So, Sir, is Mr.. Davis farmer, and so am | !;
but | never thought that il fave me any
claims to the Office of Representative in Con-
gress. If it does, there are Thousands of peo-
pie in this District, whose claim are equal to
Mr.. Sibley's. The pertnacity with which
Mr.. Sibley's friends have urged tbs argument
in his favor, led me to suppose that they
dwelt upon that for want of some stronger
reason, and, on examination, find it so. /,
therefore, have determined to give my vote for
JOHN DAVIS, ESQ.

er, but, what is of more Importance, because
he is man of strong powers of mind, of exten-

whose election will be honorable to his cor

We regret to find that the generosity Of the
Hayden government, in granting an asylum to
the free blacks in the United States, and as
sisiance in enabling them to emigrate thther.
has been abused. 1t appears to have been
made the basis Of an unprincipled speculation,
IN which the miserable outcasts, who were the
objects of its bounty, have, in some instances,
been confederate with the captains who car
ried them out, to defraud the government of
the expense of their transportation. To pre-
serve itself from further depredations on its
treasury, the. government has given notice to
the Colonization Societies which have been
formed in this country, that, in future, no al
lowance will be made to them for aid rendered
to emigrants. The provision for their support
for four months, and of lot of land for cult
walton is still continued.
1t is much TO be regretted that any circum-
stances should occur, to discourage design so
benevolent as that entertained by the Hay
items, not only as respects the individuals who
were the immediate objects of it, but the COM
munlty which had, certainly, deep interest
in its success.
