ers from Worcester, having interest in common
with other fellow citizens of the County in the Sc
lection of our public officers and an additional in
terest from the circumstance that have from
week to week the transaction of much business
with those officers, have thought it proper to ex-
press our views and feelings the subject of the
approaching election of Treasurer for the County
OF Worcester rendered necessary by an event,
which has deprived the public of an officer so un.
usually respectable, and so highly esteemed the
late Treasurer.
1t may not be generally known, that for long
time past, during the temporary absence or illness
OF Mr.. Allen he entrusted the business fhis Office
to WILLIAM JENNIsoN, Esq. The confidence thus
reposed in him, in our judgment, was fully merited
nor can we think it a trfing testimony in his ia
vor that gentleman so circumspect as MIR. Allen,
should thus have constituted him his substitute.
Under these circumstances and satisfied from his
experience, facility, correctness, and integrity in
the transaction of the business we cannot but con
slider that lie has fair claim to support, and
that of the people of the County, candidate for
the office. We have seen that exertons have been
made IN behalf OF other individuals the qualifications
OF these gentlemen we are not disposed to contest,
nor to deny to them any portion ofthe merit which
is ascrbed TO them. But VIC must be allowed to
express our conviction that in no respect can the
interest of the public be promoted by their election
IN preference to WILLIAM JENNIsoN. We rec

ton on his part or that Of his friends, from
hostile feelings towards others, who have been
named as candidates but from the circumstance of
the relation which he sustained to the late Treas
urer, and the advantage which it has afforded him
of becoming familiar with the details of the bust
ness, and the good capacity and accommodating
disposition, which he has uniformly manifested ia
the discharge of them. On these grounds we
pledge him our support and ask the concurrence Of
our patrons and fellow citizens.

Mr.. EDITOR; The manifesto in the last Yeo-

respect and would not be worthy of notice, if the
electors generally were as well acquainted with

residing in the vicinity Of Worcester are. Out OF
twelve or thirteen Post Riders, Notwithstanding
the means which were early used to secure Their
good will and influence, only four, it seems could
be induced to sign the article in question: and two

COUNTY TREASURER.

MR. Enron Without undertakingt to designate
who ought TO be chosen to the office of County
treasurer, / will give you the seasons which will
influence me to oppose two of those who have been
named as candidates. | allude to MIR. Jennison
and Mr.. Prentiss. Mr.. Jennson, as is known. is
well OIL, being possessed OF property larger han
Tails to the share of most of the farmers of this
County, besides which, he has permanent situa-
ton IN the Clerk S Office, where 1t is unde rstOOd
ne receives, out Of the peoples money, 4 salary OF
more than SIC hundred dollars per year. One would
suppose that this would content him, and Tia; he
might be willing that some other person, equally
competent with himself but less eligibly provided
for, should receive the comparatively tridnp pit
lance which is now allowed Tor performing the du-
ties of the Office of Treasurer. The case of Mr.
Prentiss IS equally strong. He is a Young man
without any family, has been educated 10 a Iucra-
tive profession, of which he is practitioner and,
to fill up proftably all the leisure time which he
can spare from his professional duties, he, also is
employed In the office Of the Clerk of the Courts,
the incumbent OF which is his near relative Sure
ly, Mr. Editor men thus situated, cannot Teasona-
bly, expect the public to give that to them which
hundreds OF others, equally well qualified with
themselves, need SO much more, and are so much
more dcservingof What have either of them ever
done Tor the public that should entitle them to this
return know of nothing.
Ihave another serious objection to both of these
candidates. If either of them is elected, the of
nee will become mere appendage to that of the
CLERK of the Courts in which they are employed,
the present enoluments of it being so small that it
will be Of secondary consequence to the greater
salary which the business of the Clerks office will
afford. Tine Treasurer should be one who will feel
and act entirely independent of the Clerk the lat
ter being accountable tie former for certain fees
If the new law relating to the CLERKS of Courts
should pass, as it probably will, the amount for
which the Clerk will be accountable to the Treas
urer, will be greatly increased Every wise and
prudent eleetor, them will vote to keep the offices
as distinct possible. AN ELECTOR.
