SATURDAY, AUGUST "a, 1850.

SAMUEL A. ELIOT, (Whig) was elected in Bos-
ton on Monday, by.a large majority over his two
Free-soil and Democratic competitors, member Of
the House of Representatives to supply the place
Of Mr.. WINTHROP, resigned. This result is the
more gratifying, as Mr.. ELIOT was the first signer
of the address from Boston approving of Mr.. WEB
sTER's course on the Territorial bills and we re-
gard his triumphant election as the ratification by
the patriotic city of Boston both of Mr.. WEssTER's
course and Mr.. ELIoT's approval Of it. That he
entertains liberal and patriotic views the leading
questions Of the day require further evidence
than is contained in the following circular, written
by him in June last, and addressed to the Massa-
chusetts Delegahon'in Congress:
"GExrLEMEs The political state Of the country, we
think us6es and demands the expression of the opinions
and wishes Of those Of your constituents who feel that the

unprecedented excitement of feeling, unfavorabe alike wise

we think we perceive alarming deficiency Of the spirit of
Cancellation and mutual concession. We need remind you
that controversy be settled without large measure Of
that spirit both sides That can restore the nation
IL its accustomed camness of progress and give that bene
fcent legislation for which Congress created and with
out which there be neither prosperity and We
would urge you BY every consideration which be drawn

will lead to reasonable adjustment Of existing difficulties
