The Massachusetts spy, and Worcester County advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1825-1831, 1828-03-19

age He was in Havana about five years ago,
where he pretended to be a son of Lord Frs
kline on the faith Of which pretension, he swim
died gentleman in that place out of five hun
dred pounds sterling. He was afterwards
advertised in the papers throughout the Uni
ted States. He made his escape from Gu
ba in schooner, in company with the two
young foreigners, brothers, by the name of
Hart, who shot themselves in August, 1894, at
a boarding house in Nassau-street.
He has passed in this country by the several
names of Giles, Atkinson, and Stevens. Reed
was taken to Boston, where an indictment has
been found against him, on which he was to
have been tried on Monday last
WARREN BRIDGE. The bill establishing the
Warren Bridge Corporation, has received the
Governors signature, and become a law. How
far the objections of the Governor to the Free
Bridge Bill of last year, are applicable to this,
or whether they apply at ALL we shall not now
undertake to decide. On this point wiser men
than we are disagree. The Boston Traveller
says it is understood that the Governor consid-
cred, that the representatives of the people had
determined, by the passage of this act, that pub
lie convenience and necessity, aside from the
consideration of tolls, required another bridge
across Charles River, and that, therefore, he
considered it his duty to sign the bill. 1t is ar
gued, that, if public convenience requires fur
! Their accommodation, the present grant, being
Tor toll bridge, and not free bridge, is of
precisely the same character as those for the
West Boston and Canal Bridges. The follow
ing extract from the Governors Message on
returning the former bill, shews that he then
entertained views similar to those which induc-
ed him to sign the present BILL
"However general my objections may ap-
pear to be, they are distinctly offered to the
bill, IN ats present shape; and now must ex-
plicitly confne their application, to the present
case before me- entertain not the least doubt,
that the power of the government may be right
fully exercised, in opening new communica-
ton between Boston and Charlestown, a0hen-
; eeer the public necessity mag require 1t. But
this necessity is not to be found In mere re-
lief from tolls, nor can it be removed by direct
and certain prostraton of pre-eXisting rights,
: without providing adequate remedies
In six years the bridge will revert to the
State, and it will then be for the Legislature to
determine how it shall be disposed Of; whether
the tolls shall be taken to, buy out the owners
of the other bridge, and make them both free,
or whether they shall be otherwise appropriate
ed One thing we trust they will never do,
and that is by any act of theirs, to destroy and
render of no value, property which is held I'M
der faith ola charter from the State.
THE Presidency. The unexpected result
of the election in New York last fall, it is well
known, was produced by a large portion of the
ticket. Those who watched g the signs of the
times were aware of the cause and of the OBJ
ject intended to be effected. The people were
given to understand that, if Gen. Jackson
should be elected, Gov. Clinton would be Sec
retary of State and that the duties of govern
ment would devolve on him in consequence of
Gen. Jackson's incapacity for his Office 1t was
also understood that Gen. Jackson would retire
at the end of four years, and that Gov. Clinton
would, almost as matter of course, be his sue
cessor. His death has blasted all these schemes,
and his adherents are left to choose simply be-
tween Adams and Jackson, and no doubt can be
entertained that they will again return to their
first choice, and place themselves in the ranks
of the friends Of the Administration. The fol-
lowing article on the subject is from the Long
Island Star, leading Clintonian paper:
cit is well known that the late Gov. Clinton
was favorable to the support of Gen Jackson
for the Presidency. He knew better than any
other person, the relation in which he would
probably stand in case of Jackson's success,
and therefore may well be justified for the part
he had taken. The idea that Mr.. Clinton
would be the President de tactO, has unques-
tionably had very great influence in favor of
Cen jackson throughout this State, as also in
some other States, where MIR. c. was best
} known and respected. That hope is gone
The Jackson cause has lost the only real claims
it ever had on the intelligent portion of the COM
munity.''
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The result OF
the election in this state, shows that we had
overrated the political influence of Isaac Hill
His party has been overthrown and routed in
all directions. Ofhis own election as Soma
tor, we had little doubt, and he appeared to
have none at all, yet he is beaten by more than
400 majority. Even in Concord, where he re-
sides, and where he claimed majority, the ed
itors ofthe two Administration papers have been
elected to the Legislature, by vote of nearly
two to one. The following information is from
the Concord Register.
The Hon. John Bell is, without doubt, elect
: ed Governor, we should judge, by plurality Of
three thousand votes Had the simple question
been administration or Opposition, it would
, probably have been ten thousand-but til re-
