From the Aurora.

The Boston Chronicle asserts that Mr. Skinner is chosen for Congress from the First Western District of Massachusetts. Our readers will recollect, that by the account given in the Stockbridge paper, Mr. Williams appeared the successful candidate by a majority of 30 votes. It will also be recollected that the Editor of the Stockbridge paper did not vouch for the accuracy of his statement. Mr. Skinner was the Republican candidate. Mr. Sewall, who is undoubtedly chosen for the Third Middle District, we understand is also a republican.

N. B. That Messrs. SKINNER and SEWALL, are Republicans, and Federal Republicans too, is a truth well known to the electors of both Districts. Mr. Williams is also a Federal Republican.
