Talking with neighbour at the door OF
his unfinished house, / kindly inquired why
it was not better covered, and in more
comfortable state outside and in? 81 am in
debt, said he, "and could not afford to finish
it any more. We can live in it till some OF
my debts are paid. When / am able in

F" Not less than sixty or perhaps seventy
dollars" was his answer. We conversed
upon the subject till he acknowledged that
without any reference to the enjoyment Of
his family and friends, the sewing he should
realize by warm house, in the eonsumptioa
of aoood, probably might be double the inter-
est ofwhat the finishing would cost. It was
natural TO observe, as l did" You are pay
ing twelve per cent. for money which you
might have for six, and have as pleasant a

many instances, save forty, not to say twice

an impression that it was my intention
that it should be published.
My condition at this moment is most
peculiar. The batteries of some of the
friends of every man who would now be
President, or who four or eight years
hence would be President, are directed
against me, with only the exception OF
those of Mr.. Adams. Some Of the friends
Of Gen. jackson, Mr.. Crawford, Mr.. CAL
houn, and Mr.. Clinton, with very diffe-
rent ultimate ends, agree for the present,
to unite in assailing me. The object now
is, on the part of Mr.. Crawford and Gen.
Jackson, to drive me from the course
which my deliberate Judgment points out,
and, for the future, on the part of MIR.
Clinton and Mr.. Calhoun, to remove me,
as an obstacle to their elevation. They
all have yet to learn my character, if they
suppose it possible to make me swerve
from my duty by any species Of intimida-
ton or denunciation. But | did not ex-
pect that my old friend Richie would join
in the general cry. He ought to recollect
that he is struggling for a man, for the
country--he to elevate an unfortunate
gentleman worn down by disease, to
preserve our youthful institutions from the
bane which has destroyed all the Repub-
lies Of the old world. | might have ex-
lpected from the patriotism of Thomas
Richie that he would have surrendered
his personal predictions, and joined with
me in the effort to save us from prece-
dent fraught with the most pernicious con-
sequences. | am so far disappointed, |
say it with modification and regret. But
all attempts to make me unite with him
to induce me to give up the defence Of
our institutions that we may elect sick
gentleman, who has also been rejected by
the great body of the nation are vain and
utterly fruitless. Mr.. Richie ought to
awake, should be himself again, and love
Rome more than Cesar.
observe what you kindly tell me about
the future Cabinet. My dear sir, want
no Office. When have | shewn an avidity
for office? In rejecting the missions to
Russia, and the Department of War un-
der one Administration In rejecting
the same department, the mission to Eng
land or any other foreign mission under
the succeeding Administration ? If Mr..
Adams is elected know not who will be
his Cabinet. I know not whether / shall
be offered place in it or not. If there
should be any offer, shall decide upon it
when it may be made, according to my
sense Of duty. But do YOU not perceive
that this denunciation of me by anticipa-
ton is a part of the common system be-
tween the discordant conederates which
| have above described Most certainly
if an Office should be offered to me, under
the new administrator, and should be
induced to think | ought to accept it, |
shall not be deferred from accepting it
either by the denunciations of open or
secret enemies, Or the hypocrisy of pre-
tended friends.

NEW County. Shall new County be formed
ofthe towns of Royalston, Winchendon, Athol, Tenn
pleton, Gardner, Westminster, Ashburnham, Fitch
burg, Leominster, Lnnenburg, Princeton, Hubbard
ston Phillipston, Lancaster, Bolton, and Harvard,

from the County of Mddesex, prayed for in the Pc
tition of Iyers Jewett and others Z"
This question is to be answered by the
voters of this County and Middlesex at the
April election. The reasons of the petition
ers for desiring this new county are probably
all embraced in communication to which
we give place to-day, in favour Of the pro-
ject. For ourselves, we do not conceive
these reasons to be sound. We doubt very
much whether the burdens complained of, il
they be not entirely imaginary, will be light
ened in any degree by the proposed change
and we cannot perceive that any other ad-
vantages will result from it; exceptit be the
qualification which it will doubtless afford to
few office-seekers, and others who look to
it for the promotion of schemes of sel-ag.

WHo SHALL BE OUR GOVERNOR? The
federal party has been so conciliatory for
several years past, by concurring in the
nomination of democratic candidates for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, that the
question at the head of this article, which
was wont to be asked with SO much warmth
and interest, has almost grown obsolete.
We perceive, however, that there is, at this
time, disposition in many parts Of the
Commonwealth, to revive it, though not on
old party grounds. The course of Governor
Lincoln in regard to the Free Bridge has
rendered him justly obnoxious to censure
and if the votes at the next election were to
be given with reference to that question, we
believe the voice of the people would be
decidedly against him. This offence, Joined
to ether motives which have never been
wanting to oppose Gov. Lincoln, has given
rise to the nomination of Hon. Marcus Nor
ton, and Hon. Elijah Fl. Mills, as candidates
for Governor. The former is supposed to
De candidate exclusively for Jacksonians.
The latter is an enlightened and independent
statesman, and his elevation to the Office OF
Chief Magistrate would do honor to the
State. .

Mr.. CRAWFORD. 1t has been asserted
and contradicted repeatedly that Mr.. Craw-
ford had expressed to Mr.. Clay his approba-
ton of Mr.. C.'s conduct in reference to Mr..
Adams's election. Mr.. Crawford's opinion
is to be sure the criterion for the opinion Of
no one else any further than his weight Of
character goes in support of it; but in this
particular case the public are anxious to
know what course he would have pursued
had he been placed in the circumstances
under which Mr.. Clay gave his vote that
is, whether, being an unsuccessful candidate
himself, he would have given the preference
to Mr.. Adams or Gen. Jackson. The Port
land Advertiser publishes the following as
an extract of letter from Mr.. Crawford to
friend in Maine, dated Jan. 80, 1928. Such
is the avidity with which such scraps of in
formation are sought after in these times

of upwards of 5000. The triumph of the
Administration party, in the election of Sc

CONGRESS-. According to all accounts
the business of the people progresses very
slowly at Washington. The Committee Of
Ways and Means have made a report against
the increase Of duties on imports, attacking
the President, the Tariff, the Secretary of
the Treasury, and all. The duties recon-
mended by the Secretary of the Treasury,
upon articles which he said in his report at
the commencement of the session required
additional duties, were precisely in accord
ance with the recommendations of the Har-
risburg Convention. These recommends
tons were made by the Secretary at the re-
quest of the Committee of Ways and Means,
of which Mr.. MsDnfie is chairman. The
Committee, in the report above mentioned,
examine at length the arguments of the Sc
cretarY In favour of an increase of duties
on imports. The report makes pamphlet of
IS pages. The committee believe that by
adopting the recommendations of the Secre-
tary the imports would be reduced 100000
per annum, and that, as the export trade
depends upon the import, it would suffer
correspondent reduction.
The Tariff Bill is still under discussion.
Mr.. Davis of this State, has made speech
against it, in its shape as reported, and in
favour of Mr.. Mallory's amendment. Aiet-
ter to the Editors of the Boston Courier,
from Washington, says:-
The general belief here now is, that opinion is
running stronger and stronger against the tariff bill
in its original shape, and in favour of Mr. Mallorys
amendment. This conviction makes the friends of
the latter less anxious to press the question to an
immediate vote"
