DR.. MEssER.-We hope that no friend
to Henry Clay and the late Administra-
tion, who wishes to wash his hands from
supporting man for Governor who will
aid in forcing Andrew Jackson upon the
country for another four years, will be de-
tered from giving his vote to Asa Mes
ser, upon the grounds urged against his
election. DIR. Messrr is large freehold
CIR, and practical farmer. His enemies
sneer at him for this, because he milks his
own cows and sells their milk. They pre-
tend too, that he is Ineligible, because
though he has been a ireeholder for thirty
years, there is no record of his having been
admitted freeman This is merely
technical, Royal objection, and will not
prevail against the votes Of the people.
The same objection applies to James Fen
ner. lie lost his right as the eldest son,
on his fathers death, at which time he
did not own foot o.'land, and there is NJ
record that he ever alter was admitted Ii
freeman. And yet Governor Fenner ant
his agents caution people against voting
for DIR. Messer, because 1t will be throw
ing away their votes. We believe that a
majority of the Frccmen would honestly
rather Nro,o a'ooy their votes than give
them to an hereditary Governor, who
threatens to hold the office for life. But
the votes will not be thrown away, and un
less James Fenner gets majority of ali
the votes given in, no matter who they are
for, eligible or ineligible, he will not be
elected Governor, Any thing like con-
cert among our friends in giving their
votes for the ticket headed Asa Messer,
will secure to this State Governor and a
Senate, independent of Jackson influence,
and prepared to 60 with the great MAORI
ty oithis State, in supporting Henry Clay
for the next President.-[ Prov. Amer.

do not mean to be outdone in firm adher.

like her Rhode Island will put to route the

now, by securing an intelligent independ.

trouble on that head. lib.
The late .Murder.-The Salem Gazette
of Saturday say" Not the slightest trace
or clue to the developement of this horri.
bic and mysterious Murder has yet beer
obtained. The sole and single purpose o
the perpetrator seems to have been tho
taking Of life. No money, and nothing o
value, was either taken or sought Tor, tho
many valuable articles and a roleau o
doubloOns were in the chamber. In one
ofthc Boston papers it is enormously stat
ed that the murderer put a plank to thu
chamber window and got in there,-it wa
a lower window: the. greatest mystery is
how the inside fastenings Of that win
dow came unloosed and removed. Th'
public here are satisfied there is no foun
dation for the suspicious that have existe'
against the person apprehended."
