COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. Editor,-ln regard to the nomination of
the Hon. Benjamin Adams of Uxblidge, for
Senator to the State Legislature, permit us
briefly to remark that we believe that more
judicious selection could not have been made
The well known qualifications of this gentle
man-hls intiexble integrity, and his long ex-
perience in the legislative business, we are
strongly inclined to believe, cannot fail to Sc.
cure his election.
While we give our preference to Mr.. Adams,
we do not mean to detract any thing from the
merits of the gentleman who has been before
nominated in that vicinity Mr.. Hastings is
young man whom we highly esteem but we
believe that it would better comport with the
dignity of the Senate board, to elect men of
more age and experience.
In the nomination of the Hon. John w Lin.
coin we most heartily concur, and, if his past
services are any proof to his fitness for that
station, nothing further need be urged to insure
his reelection.
By inserting the following list of names as
candidates for Senators, you will CRAFTY the
wishes OF MANY ELECTORS.
Hon. JOHN w. LINCOLN of Worcester.
Hon. BENJAMIN ADAMS of Uxbridge,
Col SAMUEL MIXTER of New Braintree,
