ROBBERY OR NO ROBBERY. The Avery Rob
berry wears rathy squally aspect. AS yet, he
has not condescended to answer the questions
put to him by the Editor of the Mirror, which
we republished The Mirror of the 9Th con-
tains the following article, which, to say the
least of it, is rather queer.
We have it in our power to state that Ave-
~ left Hartford on Friday, 9Th inst and at
New Hartford, Con his way to Vermont as he
statss,) was overtaken by Mr. Goodwin, one of
our stage proprietors, and EIr. Latimer Of
Hartford, and by them searched. In answer
to an enquiry as to the amount of money he
had with him, he said, that he had a little over
100 dollars They found he had about that a.
mount in his wallet and pocket book but after
openinr his trunk, and after taking Avery's
declaration that he had taken every thing out
of it. the gentlemen found " tucked away an
der the lining of the trunk $3.50, and this sum
was scattered about i'll small parcels. Avery
also had with him note of 81 200, and smaller
notes.
we have not time nor room at this late hour
to say more, except to state that this man had
the hardihood to accept of Jonathan Law, Esq
our Post Master, $50 in bank notes, to hell
him on his journey, and this too, when he
knew that Mr., Law was his chosen friend, ano
one who stood by him till the last"

ELECTIONS.

DELAWARE. In this State, old party dis
tlnctiOns have been kept up longer than in any
other part of the Union; and the leading men
of the federal party, which has the ascendancy
being anti-administration men, the State has
been claimed by the Jackson party. Both the
Senators, and the Representative TO Congress,
Tor the two last years, arc Jackson men. An
election has just taken place for Representa-
tive to Congress, in which the old party dis
tInctions were entirely obliteratcd, and the on
iy question was, a preference for Jackson or
Adams The Jackson leaders strained every
nerve to secure the election, but without eff
feet. 1t has resulted in favor of the admins
tration, by the election of KINsEY JOINS, JR.who
has majority of about FIVE HUNDRED votes.
MARYLAND. In this State, too, an unequivo-
cal TRIUMPH has been obtained for the admin.
istration. An election for Delegates to the AS
sembly has taken place. In every county in the
State, the Jackson party was thoroughly organ
lied, and neither time nor expense have been
spared to carry their point. The result is,
the choice of forty eight Adams men, and thir-
ty two Jackson men. Sixteen of the Jackson
men were elected in counties where there was
a majority for the Administration, owing to
more than one Adams ticket being run, pu-
rality electing. On the other hand, the Jack
son party was SO thoroughly disciplined, that
there was not single county in the State, in
which they supported, or nominated, more than
one list of candidates
1t is now decided that the delegations of at
aeast fourteen states, in the next Congress, will
be with the administration, Notwithstanding
the Jackson success in Kentucky, and the re-
suit of these elections will increase the conf
dence ofthe friends of the Administration, in
TO an assurance of the reelection to the Pres
idency of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

time of her decease, and for many years pre-
vious, was insane, and under Guardianship on
that account that she died leaving property
estimated at about $500 in value, which ii LETT
to descend to collateral heirs would be divided
among numerous kindred and be of little
utility to any one that your Petitioner stands
in great need of the same, but is barred from
his inheritance because he was born out oil
wedlock; that many of the legal heirs have ex
pressed wish that said property and Estate
should descend to, and be inherited by him, a.
they believe it would have been in accordance
with the wishes and will of the said Peggy, il
she had been capable of giving legal expires
sion to that VIII: your Petitioner therefore
prays, that such measures may be adopted in
the premises as will enable him to inherit apc
enjoy the property of his said mother.

~ The subject of the following communi
cation ought to be sufficient to secure it a gen
eral perusal, without any othe: recommends
ton. We can, however, assure our readers
that they will find in it matter worthy of atten.
ton and Of deep reflection.
FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
MILITARY MUSTERS.
After a scene of hustle and military parade
through the Commonwealth, attended with an
expense, IN time and money, far exceeding the
apprehensions of any one, who has not calcu-
lated it, and more injurious to good morals than
all the festivities of the year, together it is
proper, as well as natural, to reflect upon the
evil consequences that follow from such exhi-
billions. If they were attended with cores
ponding benefits, the one would balance the
other; but that is far from being the case
Regimental and brigade musters are productive
OF numerous and alarming evils, without any
positive good. In moral point of view, the
evils are tRcGLcUlabte but of the time and ex-
pense bestowed. may say lost, and worse than
lost, on such occasions, an estimate may be
made, that all will admit, from their knowl-
edge on the subject, to be toerably correct,
and, at the amount of which, all will be equal
ly astonished. Having long been convinced
that military musters are attended with no ad-
vantages to the country, on the one hand, and
occasion waste of time and money, and are
destructive of the virtuous habits and good
moral character of our citizens, on the other,
as our civil and religious institutions under
Republican form of Government must ever de-
pend on these for their support, | have devoted
a few minutes to the preparation of this COM
municaton, for the perusal, and hope for the
benefit, of your readers
