We need say nothing to arouse the friends
of Mr.. Kendall to the Importance of using
all honorable exertions to promote his
election on Monday next. Contrary to all
expectation there are enemies to order and
quiet, out of the district, who are striving to
defeat his election, and if possible prevent
choice. Let no trifing consideration keep
an elector from the polls. Mr.. Locke hav-
ing signifed his unwillingness to be again
elected, all votes given for him will be
thrown away.
1t is matter Of rejoicing that the election
of President is near at hand. With the
election we trust will subside the bitterness
and rancour which have marked the contest,
almost from the beginning We are happy
in the reflection that we have taken no part
in the unmanly and unprincipled strife.
Such as by their own zeal and violence have
added to the general excitement can look
back with any thing but agreeable refec-
tons. We have never pestered our readers
with surmses and calculations of our own
as to the probable result of the election. 1t
is next to impossible, we conceive, even at
this moment to anticipate the result with
any degree of certainty. 1t is a matter of
great doubt
On Monday next the freemen of this State
will be called upon to signify their prefer
ence of the two candidates, by voting for
the Electors by whom the choice is to be
made. Though there is no doubt of the re-
suit as far as New-England is concerned, it
is nevertheless the duty of every man to
give his vote.
The question simply is: whether President
Adams has by any act forfeited his claim to
renewal of the confidence of his fellow
citizens: whether his administration has not
been as wise, as prudent, and as beneficial
to the general welfare, as circumstances
would admit. If so, shall he be cast aside
at the coming election. for a man whose
education, 4alants, temper, habits and SEN
timents, render it extremely doubtful wheth-
er he will be able to discharge the duties of
the highest Office in the gift of the nation to
general acceptance; and whose claims to
such distinguished honour are of very
uncertain character. How this question will
be decided will soon appear, and the i'm
mense anxiety now felt for the result will
be at an end. We have our hopes, and 1--WE
cannot conceal it) we have also our fears.
The elections in the southern and western
States are regarded with great interest on
account of the bearing which they have
upon the election of President. In Penn
sylvania the hopes of the friends of Mr.. Ad-
ans have been signally disappointed. The
election has resulted entirely in favour of
Jackson. 1t is probable that not one Rep
resentative to Congress on the side of Mr..
Adams will be returned from the State. In
Ohio the Jackson papers claim triumph.
1t is said that Mr.. ]. C. Wright, the Adams
member of Congress, has lost his. election,
and that a Jackson man has been chosen in
his stead. Other reports say the admins
tration candidates have succeeded in other
districts. Nothing certain has as yet been
ascertained. New-Jersey has given a de-
cided majority for the administration. Ev-
cry thing depends upon New-York.
RAILROAD TO ALBANY. We have CO.
pied into our paper to-day some very just
and sensible remarks of the editor of the
Boston Daily Advertiser on the deeply
interesting subject of a Railroad from
Boston to Albany. The writer is well
known to be conversant with the subject in
all its bearings, and his opinions, being de-
liberately formed, are entitled to much
weight We presume there is no longer a
doubt in the minds of any who have consid-
cred the matter at all, that such a railroad is
practicable, and that it is the only apparent
means by which the resources of Massachu-
sets can be fairly developed, and field
opened for the exercise of the natural in
dustry and enterprise Of her citizens.
