The Boston Telegraph says that " the Wor-
cester Spy has shown an uniriendliness to-
wards the Telegraph, ever since it was pub
lished.' How such maggot got into the
head of the Telegraph, is more than we can
imagine, for We, certainly, never fel: the
slightest unfriendliness towards that paper,
but, on the contrary, have felt an interest for
it, and a hope that it might be successful in Sc
curing public favor and in disseminating
sound political and moral principles. There
is no reason why we should'oe unfriendly to
it for such of those connected with it as pro-
prietors and editors, as we are acquainted with,
we trust, need no assurance from us, at this
time Of the day, of our personal friendship and
esteem. Why, then, should we feel unfriend-
ly to their paper
Ofthe article referred to, in which we COM
mented on the paragraph from the Boston
Courier, if the sensitive writer in the Tele-
grrph had Invested himself of his preconceiyed
opinions of our feelings, and had suspended
his own opinion till he had read it through,
we think he would have felt 10 reason to
complain. TWAS only by an ungenerous and
unjust mutilation of it, that the IraUeAer
was enabled to make an offensive applica-
cation of it TO the Telegraph.

ty Land Bill was resumed.

900 Of acres to comply with the provisions of

NEBRAsKA.-It is now certain that N. B.
GIDDINGs was elected delegate to Congress
from Nebraska territory, on the 18TH uit.-
The entire vote. one small precinct excepted,
is-Giddings 267, johnson 1855, Capman ITO,
Others 36. The delegate is an anti. admins
traitor democrat, was not long since the Ben.
ton candidate for superintendent of common
schools in Missouri, and has reputation for
intelligence and integrity. The Council Bluffs
administration organ attributes his election
wholly to local questions about tho prospec
tive capital oil the territory. Chapman, the
more prominent administration candidate,
withdrew from the canvass after the queer
disclosures made in the private letters of Gov.
Cumming, which put him and his political
friends in an unfortunate position before the
people. Cumming not only made magnificent
promises about the location Of the capital, but
had arranged to reward himself and special
friends with valuable tracts of land in and
about il.
