By resting upon the strong arm of that'Jeflersonian creed that despiord alliance with traitors? No, sir; that was too an- tiquated—too old fogyish. In order to preserve (inviolate the Union it was thought neseesary to bargain and huck- eter with the free sollers of 1848, with fe ¥ axceptions men of mo ecnristency. tineiples, whose capacious maw can digest ell the spoiis a treacherous administration it with, and then impudently ask for more, 1.)

Why, go to my own State, and ask the hundred thousand hon: «st, prinotple loving national democrats, what they were fighting for in November last, and they will tell you they were resisting encroachments of the feieral executive; and they did it suocessfuliy. They fought for the rights of their State sgainst the impudent and tyrannical power of an administration that had shamefally coa- Jesoed with the enemies of the constitution and the Union, and nest its own officers, heading banda of | hired 'roffians, to @ convention of th» people to speak by authority.

And how did they reosive the morsage’ They looked upon i} as a direct Inteferevce in the rights of their State, and hurled back with irdignation the letter of the Attorney- General, preferring, if they were to be lestured at all, to ave a father of the party do it, and not te from the whig fatih—to have a skirts were clean, and rot one who owed all held in the democratic party to the succers of coalitions, Acd why, sir, was this same letter to which I alluded te'egraphed by a whig, who boasts of it, to the State of Misrissippt, on the eve of an impertant election, before it was tent to Massachusetta? Wao bore the expense of telegraphing this long letter to that State? This whig bas ssyured me repeatedly that the bill was tent to the office of the Union, the organ of the exeautive, and there promptly paid—most likely by authority. Why was it done? Why could not the administration re- frain from meddling tm the elections of sove n States ? Ales, who could bare though* the rights of the States heli sacred, vplers every citizen was to walk forth free and un- trammelled iu all the rasjesty cf freedom! How was this pledge fulfi'lec?

Are men, prerious to taking position, under the government, to forego all right of thocght or expression? If so, then demosracy is only another name for slavery—slavery the most abject ard intolerable.

The Fourth ward was visited by a just fire last night. It broke ent in the stable of Mr. Hosea Steelman, ‘& well known wood hauler, fronting the river, a few yards east of Race street, and before itwas subdued, de:troyed all the eastwardly and northwardly to the south- east corner of Vine and Water streets. It was first dis. covered by two men who were crossing the river from Covington ine skiff, and them the fire was just breaking out from thestable. They aver that they saw a man run- ning from the stable, which induced them to believe that he fred the building. ‘The wind was blowing very strong at the time from the south-west, aud it swiftly carried the flames northwardly to Mr. Steelman’s residence, fronting on Water street, and eastwardly to the lamber yard of Gibeer & Higby. So repid, indeed. cid the flames ex'end, that Mr. Sseelman his family barely escaped with their lives Scarosly any of their household property was saved from the de- vouring element. With the eigen office and stable of Mr. Steelman, and the lumber yard adjoining enveloped in flames, the fire presented a terrible appearance. The fire epread quickly to a two story brick building, owned by Mr. Sam- uel Wiggans, and occupied by a number of Irish families, and thence to a similar building, owned by the same per- sop, ani similarly occupied, on the south west corner of Vine Lay hfe?

From these buildings the fire communicated te the pro- vision and grecery store of Mr. Ry ‘occu- yiog the north west corner of Vine street, and the river R Is was an extensive two story brick building, and mostly well filled with groceries, guess, &. An effort was made to save the stock, but the fire ram through it so quiek that but s small portion was reecued. The building was owned by Mr. Johnson, and in addition to his grocery, [acti several cfflces of gentlemen who trade upon the levee.

The two buildings owned by Mr. Wigeans were worth between $2,000 and $3,000, Mr. Johnson ret with the heaviest loss; he estimates it, at least, at $8,000, and what is unfortunate for him, ‘he was not insured for a dire. The cemage to Mrs. Stewart’s house will not amount to more than $200, and that of other houses on the same side of the street was trifling.
