A THOUGH have an aversion to appear
N conspicuous in the public prints yet, when
an attack is made upon my character, and an
effort made to rob nle of my good name and
spotess reputation, which have maintained,
and without the least reproach; for the last thir-
ty years of my life, it behooves me to arise and
prepare to meet the enemy, and repei all those
attacks which would appear to be leveed with
much precision, but which will be found, now
that they are discharged, to fall perfectly harm
less at my feet without having taken any effect.
Therefore, call upon my friends and the pub
lie to suspend their opinion, until the matter
comes before the proper tribunal, when will
produce the most undoubted proof Of my inno-
cence of those base and malignant charges
which are SO painful to my feelings and inju-
rious to my reputation.

Much sectional and bad feeling was excieeo
in Congress last week. in consequence OF the
vote to reduce the Appropriation to the Cum
oerland Road--the vote to lay the Haroor oii
on the table-the vote to lay the Fortihcatlon
Bill on the table, &c. &c. The Western mem
bers complain that they can get nothing Tor
their section of country; the Northern Jackson
men follow Mr.. Folks lead in voting only for
Government plans of expenditure; and the null
hfiers unite with the former friends of Mr.. Clay
in voting against such appropriations, too often
made here and there without design or object
Unless a better understanding and better state
of feeling prevails, the House, at least will get
"into snar" from which it will be hard to be
disentangled. "High times at oar Housem

1t is confidently hoped that the new Cabinet
may be induced, either by threat or persuasion,
10 remain in office until the expiration OF Gen.
Jackson's term. The constant changes that are
a serious detriment TO the public service and
tend very much to embarrass the operations OF
the government. 1t being found impossible
to get Unit, the President ought to be con-
tent to keep the Cyphers together, for time at
least-by and by, we hope the people will
sponge them off the slate" 1t is an evidence
of the deranged state of things at Washington
when we see so many movements among the
high officers of Government; and, whatever
gloss this sort of business may receive from the
party press, the result is that distrust prevail
as to any Cabinet that the President may form.

DESTRUCTINE FIRE.

AT about half past FIVE O'Clock yester-
day morning, fire broke out in the two
story building on South Watershed
owned and occupied by Mr. James Wady,
shoe dealer. The wind blew fresh from an
easterly direction, and notwithstanding
the rain which fell copiously the flames
spread to the adjoining buildings, and
had ragged to a considerable extent before
the engines could be brought to bear
upon them. The Firemen were all on
duty, and well earned the compliment
which the slectmen this morning pay
them-but it was not until nearly eight
O'Clock, and when nine large buildings
with several out-houses had been eonsum-
ed, that they were enabled to conquer the
devouring element. The Particulars as
far as we have been able 10 gather them,
follow -
On SOUTH WArER-sTRErr.
The two-story store and warehouse Of
MIR. james Wady, part Of which was
occupied as small Grocery by Mr. Car
yer, was entirely consumed. Mr. Wady,
most estimtble citizen has sustained q
heavy loss. All his stock, books, and
papers, amounting as we have heard to
about $4,000 were consumed-SiO0O
only was insured. $1,000 was insured
on the building.
