WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 81. 1881
TO OUR PATRONS.

Arrangements have for some time been
in progress, and will soon be completed,
for enlarging "The Massachusetts Spy,"
much beyond its present dimensions. This
will enable US to give fuller reports of Leg
iislativc proceedings, TO place upon record
more State Papers and statistical articles,
which are valuable, not only at the present
time, but to preserve for future reference,
and to give to the general reader greater
variety and amour. of miscellaneous and
'othsr reading. We hope, also, to he able
TO improve the paper in other respects
These Improvements subject us to heavy
expenditure for "a large Power Press and
other materials in the outset, and will great
ly enhance the permanent expenses of the
office hereafter. AS affecting our pccunia-
ny interest, we have had much doubt as to
the expectancy of mourning such an addi-
tion to our expenses, and, as the improve
nent is made entirely for the beneitof our
patrons, we must, as we did eight years
ago, when the Spy was enlarged to its pres
ent size, look to an intelligent and liberia!
public for such an increase of patronage as
will, in some degree, Temunerate us for our
exertions IN their behalf; and we trust, as
it was then, so it will be now, that OUT ap-
peal to their Justice will not be in va,n.
WESTERN ELECTIONS. The Kentucky
Argus, the leading jackson paper in that
State, now admits that the Clay party have
elected a majority of the Legislature of that
State. The Indiana Democrat, also a Jack
son paper, says that the Clay party have
a majority in the Legislature Of Indiana.
Senators to Congress are to be chosen in
both these States. Gen. Noble one of the
Clay candidates. for Governor, in Indiana,
is elected. The two Clay candidates re-
ceived about two thirds of the votes. 1t is
feared that the Jackson candidates for Con-
gress have prevailed by plurality ofvotes,
in consequence of the Republicans running
several candidates, although n majority Of
Clay votes was given in each district
Such are the effects of division.
PETTscoAr CONVENTION. A'grand sack
Son State Convention is to be holden at the
Town Hall in this town tomorrow, for the
purpose OF nominating candidates for Gov
ernor, &c. Having succeeded in getting
the United States under petticoat govern
ment, great effort is nov to he made to
bring the same party into power in this
State. We trust their success will be COM
mensurate with their deserts. The late
Secretary of War being now relieved from
his arduous duties in that office at Wash.
ington, might come and lend his friends
mere helping hand. We should think that
the General, with the aid of Kendall and
Lewis might get along without him till af.
cor our election is over.
We have received long article com.

zion letter; but, as todnt Of room has oblig.
ed US to omit the letter ITSELF we should not
feel justified in occupying an equal space IN
a commentary on it. Our enlarged limits
will. however, soon admit of the publication
of the letter, and we will then with Meas.
ure insert the article of our correspondent
