whether they are willing to sacrifice a tried
and faithful servant to crafty the disappointed
or hostile feelings of few individuals, or by
| being just to him be more than just to them
selves. The same appeal was made to the
electors of this county the last spring, and true
to their own integrity, they decided it by his
reelection. Will they now, when his fidelity
has been more fully proved, wheK his expe-
rience has been increased, and his capacity to
serve them in every way improved, and when,
too, every other member of the late Senate
from this County is considered as Withdrawn
from the canvass, reject his services, in rela-
ton to the many important interests which the
County has at stake, because his fearlessness
and independence may have given offence to
this that citizen? We do not, and cannot,
believe it. 1t is time that the large, the
! wealthy, and fourshing, County of Worcester
should hold that influence at the Senate board
| that her relative importance deserves. But
this can never be, while she is willing to dis
card her faithful and able men from that board,
to give place to time-servers, oil those who re-
gard their own popularity more than the public
good.
To the Electors Of the County Of Worcester:
! Col. Cushing of Luncnburg, who has so ably
represented your interests, in the Senate of the
Commonwealth, will no longer be considered
as candidate, Permit one of your number
to offer for your suffrages, Col. ARTEMAS
LEE of Templeton, as a candidate for that Of
! flee. His character for political integrity and
general intelligence is surpassed by few of his
fellow citizens in that part of the County
From his extensive intercourse with the people
as merchant, know of but few names that
are better entitled to the prefix of Honorable.

! Mr. Edtor,-Tt will be recollected, that, on
| the Inauguration of John Quincy Adams to the
Presidency, four years ago this day, the good
people of Princeton, chastity no doubt) at the
suggestion of an old friend of mine, fit to
| honor me with new name, that of Mount Ad-
ans. | had, at that time, very serious doubts
as to the propriety of the course taken by my
| friends in Princeton, although did not then
demonstrate. During the four years last past,
/ have been in rather a dsagreeable dilemma
| Some of my friends and visiters have greeted
me by my new name, while others have been
determined to know me by no other than by
my ancient and well established title Wachu-
sett. Now, my age, rank, and elevation, will,
! | trust, Justify me- in speaking for myself and
settling this matter | am satisfied with the
administration of Mr.. Adams. OF the course
| he has taken in relation to the leaders of the
federal party, have nothing to say, because
have not, in my possession " unequivocal evil
dence,' upon which could form an opinion. As
Mr.. Adams retires from office at this time, with
due Difference to him, beg leave, through the
I medium of your paper, to inform the public that
have resumed my former name, by which,
alone, | wish hereafter to be known and distin-
| guished.
Respectfully, remain your substantial friend
