We quote the fitting language of the surviving partner on this melan- choly occasidén : : ‘ Deate or MR. Gates —It becomes o: iF prin- ful duty to announce to the readers of this journal that Joseph Gales is no more. He died a few minutes after seven o'clock on Saturday evening inst, at Eckington, bis late residence, near th's He was in the 75th year of bisage Though this melancholy event was not entirely unexpected in coi uence of Mr. Gales’s intirm health for some months past, it is none the less true that the blow so ied bas at last fallen with a weight as sudden as it is afilictive. It is some consolation, however, to know that bis end was calm and painless as his life bad been serene and virtuous all of years and full of honors, rich in the tributes of veneration and regard awarded by good and great men throughout the land, and be- loved, as falls to the lot of few, by all who shared his nearer companionship in the bome and the walks of private life, he has been gathered by the great reaper, Death, a sheaf fully ripe for the bar- Vest. into a garner made fragrant and precious ee the fruits of a life ever noble in its aspirations an ever laborious in good works. {t 1s not for us, least of ail at a moment like this, to write bis epi- taph, nor are words of formal commemoration needed to indite for our readers that eulogy which they, equally with us, are competent to celebrate in memory of his intellectucl greatness. It were better that we should keep silent while as yet the startled ear seems caught by the sound of a voice crying with such thrilling emphasis from the scene of his former activities, like that voice which the Revelator heard from Heaven, saying, “* Write, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from hence forth ; yea, saith the Spirit, that they May rest from their labors, and their works do fol them."? Mr. Gales was born on the I8th day of April, 1786. at Eckington, near Shefield, England, and when but a lad, bis father was, by his libera! political principles, literally compelled to seek a &ome in America. Mr. Gales, senior, landed a Philadelphia, young Joseph being about 7 years of age. Subsequently they removed to Raleigh, North Carolina, where Mr. G., sr., established the Raleigh Kegister which he conducted for nearly forty years. Deceased was educated at the University of North Carolina. He learned the art of printing in Philadelphia, and In 1°07 settled at Washington as the assistant and after wards as the partner of Samuel Harrison Smib, who. in 1800, had removed the Independent Gazetteer to Wash- ington, and changed its name to the Natronal Intelligencer. In i=10 Mr. Smith retired from business, and Mr. Gales beceme sole proprietor of the journal, which was at that time published tri weekly. In 1312 he took into partnership bis brother-in-law, Mr. William W. Seaton, and in January, 1513, began to issue the National Intel- ligencer asa daily paper During the war of i$12 Mr. Gales was active as a republican of that day, justifying President Medison in his declaration of war with Great Britain He himself. asa member of a troop of horse, was absent on duty down the Potomac when the office of the National Intelligencer was destroyed by the British. Mr. Gales was at one Period chosen by the councils to fill a vacancy in the mayoralty of Washington, and was continued therein by an almost unanimous vote of his fel- low-citizens His enterprise and benevolence were proverbial to all ‘The announcement of his death will everywhere be rece ived with regret, as be has, through a long life of devotion to political journalism, retained the friendship and esteem alike of friends and op- ponents. The lateliigencer has always. under his control. been regarded as a model for ability and research, as well as impartial and courteous in its bearing. Indeed, he may be ranked as one of the statesmen of the nation, being distinguished for patriotism and devotion to the prosperity and ad- vancement of his adopted country, with a know!- edge of its past and present history possessed by very few that survive him: His funeral will take place on Tuesday from his late country seat at Eckington, near this city. The procession will no doubt be very large and imposing Vexy Proper Decision RELATIVE TO THE Exxerion oF PoriticaL Pours on tHE Posric Gaovnos.— Application having been recently made to the Commissioner of Public Buildings for permission to erect a Liberty pole near the centre of the open space in front of the Bank of Washington, that officer, we learn, has declined, very properly, we think, to grant such permission, as he finds his authority fn this respect will not per- mit him todo so. As this request has come from those connected with a party opposed to the Ad- ministration, {t may be attempted to have the impression conveyed abroad that the Commis- sioner was actuated by political motives in ren- dering this decision. But no one who is ac- qvainted with this gentlemanly end truly esti- mable public officer, will for a moment suppose that he could be influenced by any such consid- eration. We know that such poles have here- tofore been raised on portions of the public grounds, but it has been done in direct violation of Inw, and has never been conducive of any good result; but on the contrary bas a tenden to create excitement, and often leads to serious disturbance. Now, however, as the attention of the Commissioner has been directed to the law ou the subject, be is determined to euforce it, aud hereafter to refuse all such applications, come from what quarter they may ‘The facts in this particular « ase, as neor as we can ascertain them. are these. A few days since. @ letter making such @ request was handed to the Commissioner whiist that gentleman was at din- ner.which prevented him from then giving it the consideration to which it was entitled. As it was mentioned in the letter that the assent of the Mayor had been obtained, the Commissioner sent word by the bearer of the note that as far as he was converued be had no objection. Since then, however, that public functionary, baving had an Opportunity of examining as to the extent of his ambhority over the matter, found that, so far from being authorized to grant such permission, it be his duty under law to remove the pole, ed. He was therefore compelled, much against his will, to recall bis verbal acquiescence, and to state In the communication announcing this fact to the parties making the request that he sbould refuse all similar applications, come from What source they might; at the same time ex- pressing regret that a sense of duty would not allow himto gratify bis fellow-citizens in a re- quest which seemed so harmless and unimportant. We are sure the Commissioner will be upheld by every citizen in this determination to enforce the Jaw, and thus prevent that which, if it lead to bo serious consequence, as 1s so often the case, is always a source of annoyance to those residing in the immediate vicinity of such poles, by the crowds of idle and noisy persons who are likely to congregate at such places. xia : Tae Sperch oF tax Current Caxvass is, de- cidedly, that of the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, delivered at the Breckinridge and Lane ratification meeting recently convened in the hall of the Cooper Institute, New York city; the said meetiag by the by, having been the largest, most respectable and significant one held by either party in that city since the beginning of this canvass. Such !s the testimony concern- ing it borue by all the New York city papers of all parties. In comparison with it, the forced atterapt to get up a sort of forced Douglas party ratification meeting in Tainmany Hall wes most insignificant; for they were not able to collect even ragamuffins enough then and there to half ti!) the room. The names published as chief Partict- pants in the Breckinridge and Lane demonstra- tion also show that the cause of constitutional Democracy in New York city hes been taken charge of for the most part by an entirely different class of persons from those who for yenrs past have managed the Democratic party's cause in Tammany Hall. The latter are politicians by trade, buyers and sellers in the nominations mar- ket, and brokers in corporation contracts and other opportunities of wholesale robbery and plunder under the shieid of the Democratic party's supremacy ta the city’s affairs. The former are almost wholly active business men in every walk in life, whose individual prosperity is locked up with the commercial, manufacturing and me- chanical prosperity of the city. A class who have | heretofore sadly neglected the duty of duly look- ing after their own and the city’s and country’s | interests in connection with politics. Mr. Dick- inson’s speech was worthy of the meeting of such men and of the occasion. It was upon ‘the his- tory of the political gamblers”’ of New York, who sold their trust at Charleston and Baltimore; j what Senator Benjamin's speech was upon the history of the truculence, impudence, selfishness, and mendacity of the semi-abolition career of Douglas of late years; the most scorching and overwhelming exposure we ever read. It is des- tined to be seen by all American readers doubt- less, for its ability and ¢onclusiveness will neces- sarily command attention the country over; and wherever it may be read, it will carry conviction to the minds of all with whom politics may not be a mere game for the gratification of some sin- ister desire or design RG s Simmeninc Dowx.—The New York Journal of Commerce shows that Douglasism is already coming to be properly appreciated by the Democratic masses at the North—»s for some time past in the South—as being neither more nor less than a “short cut’? to abolitiontsm. It is evident from the statistics that journal publishes that the Doug- las leaders cannot hope to secure a single electoral vote for their nominees unless they can induce the Breckinridge and Bell men to unite with them in doubtful northern States, in voting fora single electoral ticket; and then, by such means they can at best have but a hope that they may be able—not to elect Douglas—but to Squeeze bis name into the Representatives’ ball as one of the three from whom it may be the province of the lower House of Congress to select a successor to James Buchanan ie Deata at TRE Kix woop Hovse —We regret to announce the death of Col.

Here, we see an old resi dence renovated and beautified; there, the In- creased family not having “elbow room" enough, the wise and provident leige lord has built an ad- ition to his time-benored residence, for bis better haif and interesting little ones; and here, again, is being built an add tion to an edifire venerable for its antiquity, and memorable for the many delightful aasociations connected with its early history.
