For THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.
THE ELECTION.

The approaching election of Senators is one
OF more than ordinary interest to the citizens o.
this county. BY the next Legislature at least
one Senator in Congress, and in the event o.
the appointment of Mr. Webster as Minister tC
England, two Senators must be chosen. We
remember that the Senate of this State did once
elect Mr.. John Mills to the honorable station
now occupied by Mr.. Webster, and, but for the
firm and decided opposition of the House Of
Representatives, this State would have been
represented in the Senate of the Union by a
masked enemy of the present Administration
the compeer of Senator Woodbury.. That this
ancient Commonwealth should be ably and tru-
ly represented in the Senate of the Union, is
most devoutly to be wished and, TO effect this,
we must look well to the elections for the State
Legislature. Be not deceived the open enc
mics of the present Administration, and, what
is worse, doube-dealing political trimmers are
busy among U.S. and an nsidious, but well con-
certed and strenuous effort, will be made to in
tIoduce into the Senate of this State the oppo-
nents of Mr.. Adams, and of the American Sys-
tenn men, too, who will advocate the choice Of
electors by districts, in order, if possible, that
this State may give at least one vote for the
military chieftain. Various projects of internal
improvement by canals and railways, and the
subject of division of the county will be agi-
tated in the next Legislature. The State
Treasury is exhausted, and the question must
be determined whether the system of borrowing
or that of taxing shall be adopted. These are
subjects of grave import, and indicate the ne
cessity of an able representation in both branch
es of the Legislature.
We cannot forbear to express our surprize
and regret that, in the list of candidates for the
Senate selected in caucus, the name of John
w. Lincoln was omitted. We know of no rea-
hat Ho bac ba1
the benefit OF experience in legislation, is firm
and avowed friend of the present Admnistra-
ton, and of the great interests of this county,
is eminently qualified to decide on the practical
blity and expediepcy of the various projects of
internal improvement now agitated, and has
discharged his duty to his constituents with
ability and firmness. If the busy impertinence
of some friend of jackson, and personal enemy
of Col Lincoln, had any influence upon the
nomination of this list, we shall not the less
daily support Col. Lincoln as a candidate for
the Senate.
To some of the candidates, nominated in the
Yeoman of last week, we have objections, which
we are not disposed to pass in silence. Warren
Rawson, Esq. is decidedly opposed to the cleo
ton of Mr.. Adams as President, and this we
consider as constituting at this time an insuper
able objection to his election.
The Hon. Nathaniel P. Denny would make
an able and efficient Senator. But, in 1926,
Mr., Denny was DESTROYS of trusting the electn-
raj vote of this State to the good will and pleas
ure of the famous "unpledged ticket" or, in
other words. to ticket that would divide the
electoral votes among several candidates, and
thereby destroy the influence of the State in
the election of President Is he now in favor
of a general ticket, or would he prefer to risk
the vote of the State to choice Of electors in
districts? We wish to see at the Senate board
men who are willing that the undivided and
unanimous support of this State should be CIV
en- to the reelection of Mr.. Adams.
