Gathers Brick-House,

opposite to the Globe Tavern in Mar
tlnsburg. The ground to be sold ex-
tends, on King street, from the public
square to the corner of Dir. Jacob Poi
sal's house, and at the same width, quite
across to Burke street. there are on il.
of course, several valuable building-lots.
The Dwelling-House is among the best
IN Martinsburg; and the new framed
house, on the same front, is divided nl-
to two! offices, which commands good
rent, IN consequence of their proximity
to the Court House. The two Offices,
thrown into one, would make an excel
lent store, and the stand would be 40
good, perhaps, as any iii Wartinsburs.
In short there is not in this village a
more desirable property.
As it is much to be feared that, in
consequence of the scarcity of money,
this property will sell very low, this no.
tice may perhaps deserve the attention
of persons at distance. To such the
undersigned hold out the assurance that
the sale will Reremptorily take place On
the day appointed.

Art, in the labour Of the mimetic wreath, had ex-

wreath was the production of nature and which the

THE PRE- SIDENCY-

PORTLAND, Feb. Give publish to-day
tile official proceedings of the Congressional
Caucus which was held at the Capitol, in
Washington, ON the evening of the 18th inst
to nominate and recommend To- the people of
the United States, candidates for the Offices
of President and Vice President. We have
been the advocates of such caucus ever
since the question has been in agitation. We
were early convinced that there were too ma
ny'candidates, and the partiZans of each were
too intent upon their man, 10 render il pos
sbe tfsxf choice could he effected by the
people, without some means of concentrating
public sentiment. To us there appeared to
be no better means, and IN fact no other means,
OF efectlDg this concentration than by con-
yeniion of the representatives of the nation
In this opinion we were supported BY the re-
publcan5 Of our Legislature, and we believe
by "A maj ority nf the republicans of the State
We believe it was their wish, and il certainly
was ours, To seek out the majority on this
great national question, and to unite harmUni-
OuSly in the wishes of that majority. This is
the doctrine " hich we have always protested,
and notwithstanding the jeers which have
been thrown at us for our adhesion TO " king
majority" we openly declare that we have no
disposition To rPnOunce our creed or forsake
our allegiance. The only king, to whom we
shall ever bow, is the will Ofthe majority Of
our free and enlightened feIow-citizens We
know not how IL is, but from some cause or 9th
er, we have always felt, from our childhood,
strong aversion TO Ctction. We wish TO see
our political machinery move in the simplici-
ty oi the principles on which il is founded,
permittinga majority Of the nation peaceabIy
to rule on national questions, aud the MAORI
ty of Il State on State questions. II is to be-
regretted that 50 large number Of the repub-
ican members Of Congress were induced TO
absent themselves from the caucus. Various
causes combined TO produce this result. The
strength o[fhe parties for the several cand-
dates appears to have been ascertained be-
fore the caucus was held. There was not
majority in favor of any one and when ii
was found which Of the five candidates had
a plurality in his favor, the friends Of the 9th
or four combined against the one, determined
not O. attend caucus, and by their united ef-
forts aud formidable array, even prevented
some Of the friends Of tie strongest candidate
from attending.
We lay before our readers to-day the
whole proceedings af the Caucus, aud all the
on tie subject which we have
leceird. We should add perhaps that the
