have nothing now to add relative TO the state OF
our market-Tlour had commenced to look up

81 per Dbl aAoat, but an arrival two days
since Of 5000 bbls will cause it to decline.
The Government has issued rev FariH, by
which the duties on all importaions are liked at
80 per cent. with the exception of the following,

We have seen no return from Pennsylvania
of the late General Election which gives us
such entire satisfaction as that OF Washington
County. 1t exhibits the triumph OF the Demo
cratic Delegate Ticket, as we used TO have the
satisfaction to see it, before, what is called jack
sonsm had taken hold of a portion OF our TEL
low-citizens The Democratic party, are there,
sound and unbroken in upon by considerations
which have little or nothing to do with the bu-
siness in hand. They did not think OF casting
off old and faithful public servants for no other
cause than that they did not regard General
Jackson as the only man whom it would be
right and proper to elect President of the Uni
ted States. AS the past election was the first,
so we hope it will be the last election at which
devotion TO the advancement Of an individual,
and not principle, Shall be the test of nom1na-
ton. The people Of Pennsylvania are too So
minded to be long led astray by an ignus
fa,uus, or Jack-a-lanthorn. The fever which
ragged SO violently, is subsiding with as much
rapidly as it ~ose. Democratic Press.
A serious fire occurred last evening about

ton was difficult of access, and as some time
elapsed before the engines were put Ill opera
ton, the fire assumed an alarming aspect and
was raging furiously at the time we came a
way. We can consequently form no estimate
Of the damage. The shipping was at first con
sitlered in danger, as much burning cinders
were aying in all directions, A brig lett the
