and confidence of the democratic party, should b one that is known to be uhswefyingly and uncom promisingly true and firm in democratic principles and not a democrat because he is candidate fol that high station; but, acanddatc because heis vel

 known to be democrat Of long and high standing with lis party. Then, when his services are need ed, inc party know whero 10 find him.

 We commend our candidate for Congress to the people, as gentleman well qualified to discharge the arduous duties Of that station, with credit to himself, and honor to his constituents. Few will

 know him that will not like him, and. coafde in his principles and his honor. Our own State Is the on-

 y home he has ever known; and through the past,

 in private or in political lif thsis the character ne has always sustained. Ne respectfully suggest to

 he candidates for the next legislature, that they should fix ther appointments, in the counties named so as to correspond with he appointments oi Col. J. II would, no doutt, be pleasure 10 mm to meet them, as we doubt not it will be to them.

 FlRe.-Betweon aud 9 clock nn We'd nesday night last, the cry offre was heard in our Streets. IL was discovered to be in a house belonging to Col Ashley, and occupied by Mr. Paul Collier, as dwelling, and pro- duce Grocery establishment, on the corner ol Elm and Cumberland Streets. The building being an indifferent frame, the fire had spread almost throughout it, before the citizens could reach the pace-ihe building was en- tirely consumed. The fire originated by ae- eident, having first caught in back-room or kitchen. Through great exertion of the cili- zens it was prevented from doing further had t not been for the rain and sleet that had fallen that evenug-together with the snow that was falling at the time, great loss of property would undoubtedly have resulted from it. The loss sustained besides the house, was not considerable, though ibe tenant lost every thing he had. The liberaity of our citizens have not been in adordng relief to the destitute of tbe family. This should be a warning to the city authorilies-to adopt prompt and efficient measures 10 procure at leasttwo good Fire Engines, so us to be better prepared 10 meet and arrest the occurrence of a similar kind.
