NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY.

The Court of Inquiry into the conduct of Captain
BoLToN closed its investigation Saturday last.
When the evidence concluded, Capt. B. (accord-
ing to the report in the New York Herald) rose and
said:

the Mediterranean with the United States ship Bran

this point and wished to be the first to turn it to the
honor of our Navy, and its advantage. In my opinion
this could not have been so well accomplished as by
my appearance on our coast The English papers

only there that could render myself useful. I'm

THE LABOR OF MIND.

1t is no unusual thing to hear the farmer and
mechanic assert that their representatives at the
capital, from the President to the member of
Congress, shave an easy time of it and are
well paid" In this they are mistaken. A re-
posing attitude does not always constitute re-
pose, nor idle hands idleness with public men,
The farmer goes to the field in the morning, and
at night enjoys refreshing slumber while nature
crowns his labors with success. 1t is not so
with the statesman. After mingling with friends
and foes, and transacting the multifarious duties
of his Office during the day. he throws himself
down at eve, but not to rest-there is no rest for
him! Conscious Of his responsibility respon-
sibility which probably involves the welfare Of
millions--it is his constant study how to pro-
mote and preserve his fame by avoiding the
numberless evils that beset him, and how to Sc.
cure to the country all the benefits of his expe-
renee and wisdom. He has no rest. While
recumbent at midnight on his couch, (though
his couch may be Of down. could the merry
laborer but see his pallid cheek, his fiery sleep
less eye, and his clammy brow, he would ex
claim "there is no rest there =" And in such hour.
when no sound is heard but the lone cricket:

in his midnight studies. ...

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.

We gave no opinions, in advance, prophetic OF
the result of the late elections in Massachusetts
Nor did we entertain any such opinions as some
of our contemporaries lugubriously put forth con-
corning it. We bore in mind that the Wings
of this State were not all of the "head-hins-o or
die" school; and that they might be persuaded
to believe, that they might support their guber-
material candidate, without doing any very grea,
violence to those principles, embraced by por-
ton of the party, which they had never very
fully approved viz: the principles of "staying
at home," to spite the President and show a
proper resentment to the Veto! We might in
fer, therefore, that aoiser counsels guided tIfe
Wings of Massachusetts, than those that have
prevailed in the late elections in some other
States. And the following is the result:
MAssAcHusETTs.-Two hundred and eighty-nne
townships give Davis So 66S votes; Morton, Opp.
49,4lS; scattering, 49, Davis plurality Nor
i Morton and s Scattering Nine be-
heard FROM Davis majority will be quite small, it
believed the scattering votes not returned from
all the townships. A majority is necessary to a
choice.
Senate-Five Wing Senators have been elected in
Suffolk county; five in Essex; five in Worcester
two in Hampshire two in Franklin; two in Barn
stable; one in Dukes and Nantucket; and one in
Norfolk. Total %. Six Opposition Senators have
been elected in Middesex, three in Bristol two in
are two vacancies in Norfolk and two in Plymouth
which will be filled by the Senate-with Wings OF
course. The Senate, when full, will therefore, in
all probability, standby Wings and l3 Opposi-
ton.
House-The Boston Atlas says, that as far as heard
from, 100 Wing Representatives have been elected
81 of the Opposition; and of 62 candidates there has
been mo choice"

respondent in the Anlerican,) "the real Wing party
is present in power" and President Tyler and his
friends must depend entirely upon the benefcence Of
that partyfor subsistence The President is tried,
condemned and ezecuted by these puissant editors,
and afterwards threatened by them.
II these violent partisan presses determined to
array themselves in hostile attitude against the pre-
sent Administration, does not common sense, to say
nothing ofcommon modesty dictate the propriety Of
not claiming to be Gin power at present." If the
President is actually Dead il that he should
be deceny buried, at all events before these hot
headed editors assume the reins of Government.
But, parado1ical as it may appear, the Americans
correspondent proceeds as follows: t.~ ...-
"John Tyler the President, tells the oics-holdsrs

The ofice-holders, il would appear then, are some

dent, notwithstanding the real Wing party-by which
are to understand the Clay Bank party"is at pre-

But many "ofice-holders are not Wings" This

OPPOSITION WINGS.

We advocated the election of Gen. Harrison
and John Tyler. The suffrages of their fellow
citizens called them to the high responsibility
of power Providence, in His inscrutable wis
dom, has seen meet to "gathel" one of those,
whom the people delighted to honor, to his ia
thers-full of years and full of honors." We
have yet to learn why we should concur with
our former fellow laborers-now our adversaries
in denouncing him as a 'traitor to the party
whom Providence, in His dispensation, has
spared, to save this great Republic from the
awful calamity of being without head and
without a ruler.
Is it for the benefit of "pdrty" alone that
the President is elected Or for the common
veal of the whole country2 The oath of the
Constitution allows him to make no distinction
between parties, but to govern for the common
benefit of all parties-for the common good Of
their common country.
The principal charge for which the President
is arraigned by the "Opposition Whigs," (for
we do not include the whole Wing party,) is for
not supporting measures, which they assert, his
lansented predecessor aoould haze recommend
ed, had he iped. What he "aoould haze re-
commended' is a secret buried with him in his
grave, and known only to Omniscience. The
last dying words of the patriot were-and they
were no secret and recommended no measures
-"I aoish you, sir, to understand the true
principles Of the Government. wish them
carried out. ASK NOTHING MORE"
What these true principles of the Govern
ment" are, the Constitution allows to every man
the equal privilege of judging, but to no man the
right of "dictating." This is according to the
Constitution, "as aoe understand 1t )" if our ad
versaries understand it differently; our differences
are then very readily accounted for-with very
poor prospect of any compromise"
