of thrift is to them matter of serious import
1t does not require much penetration to toretel |;
that if general government were to fall into the
hands of the opponents of the present administration
they would feel themselves under the necessity OF
pursuing course Numerically opposite, to the one
now in progress. Now: what would be the conse-
quenccs : In the first place the United States Bank
would be re-chartered with fifty, or one hundred
millions ofcapital probaby hence every State Bank
in the Union would be held at their mercy. None
but the rich and aristocrac favorites Of the ultra
federasts could expect tavors from that bank and
its branches: and even the State Banks (if they
were allowed to exist) would be obliged to pursue
the course, to court the favor of their great
master Bank. Thus complete money aristocracy
would be established, and every merchant in moder-
ate circumstances, and every small trader would be-
come the humble vassals to Bank supremacy. Next,
the internal improvement would be renewed, and
the old states would be taxed to make roads all the
way to the Rocky Mountains; and perhaps through
States, to the ruin of our old establishments
and roads. But, what is more important than all
this, is, that the tariff system would be restored,
and from that day, we might date the termination
of this Union. From that day, the doom OF every
New-England Factory would be sealed, except the
manufactures of Guns and Gunpowder. II the de-
struction Of this great, but new source of Yankee
thrift were alone to be sacrificed, might bear it
because we tl'rvcd before powcr-looms were known.
But the Of all that former thrift, would soon
be dried up, by that grasping policy, which would
certainly sever this Union.
conclude therefore, that the election Of one mem-
ber of Congress, in the present posture Of our affairs
is of more importance than that of all State Of
fcers, for on him may depend peace, or war, un-
iou or division, and civil war. The whole fortune
of New-EngIand is now a, stake; for re depend on
the union for our prosperity. And we know by IA
tai experience, that the leaders Of the opposition
ready two years ago, to risk the union on the
turn Of card and for the sake Of small addit-
ioual per ccntagc, on ono branch Of our industry.

WAR WITH MExIco.--We should mol at all be surprised to see one of these days a war between Mexico and the United States, growing out of the present novs. nfents and demonstrations in the TerrltoY of Texas.
 1t Is evident that Mexico cannot succeed in establishing republican form of govern ment. During ten or fifteen years all sos of attempts have been made to organllM' that country on republican principles Dd' the state of society, the ambition ot ln' military, the pride of the grandees, and tho superstition ofthe priesthood, have hiihens presented insuperable obstacles.-lndePsr dent countries bordering on each other' Os ving different forms of government, natiIsls ,1.l, ly fall into irreconcilable antipathles. in U. feads between Sparta and Athens ofssSnr ted in the opposite tendencies of their ss.

DREADFUL FIRE S LOSS OF LIVES.
 One of the most desolat,ng ard destruc- tive fires that has eter afflicted our city. broke out this morning, little after two o'clock. Though there had been much rain all day,the vast quantity of combustibie materials which were in this part of tho city. being chiefly printing and publishing estab- llshments of different newspapers, paper warehouse and bookstores, caused the flames to spread with frightfuI rapidity.- The extreme height of the buildings also, the confined rooms and passages of the stores, the hour at which the fire broke out, and the general narrowness of the streets, all contributed 10 give more terrible cha ractor to this awful conflagration.

On our first page will be found an article on the medical properties of that excellent Ye- getable, the Tomato, to which we invite the particular attention of cur readers. Many persons in this section of country are aflict- ed with that distressing malady the Liner Complaint, without being aware that the To- mato is a speedy and effectual remedy. We do not make this assertion on doubtful autho- rity. We are personally knowing to two in- stances of perfect cures effected in a few weeks, by the free use of this vegetable alone. Besides we have the testimony of se- veral eminent physicians to the same effect. T ile ease with which the Tomato IS raised places 1t within the reach of every family, and few plants in the corner of the garden will not only furnish a cheap and abundant luxury for the table, but may also save good many visits from the doctor, and thereby con- siderably whittle down that n,onstruaa hoo'- rendun, his bill.

On the next night, Sunday, ) they completed their work of de- straction at Elr. Johnson's house, carrying out the furniture and burning 1t. His loss is 5,f t;s5lig t!l rot less than eight or ten thousand dollars.
 About r or is ot of tic tic rioters gre said to have been killed on Saturday night, besides a great number wounded The police sue ceeded in taking and lodging in jail some 60 or TO, who were all subsequently, released by the mob.
 Monday and Tuesday nights the city was tranquil. The organization of an armed bo- dy of citizens, which hourly increased in numbers, appears to have oyerawed the mob, and was the means of preserving order. We have received Baltimore papers of the 18th, up to which time no further excesses had been committed. h the Baltimore American, of that date, we find the following:-
 The following letter was sent for puhli- cation yesterday by the Mayor:

.4pother "Baltimore .ueb ."-.Truly the good city of Baltimore has the luck of 'sons- niuu. gathe,atns." First, there was the ce- lebrated mob at the commencement of the last war--then the two political mobs, "fresh from the people" now, Q mightier mob, composed of ssthe people, themselves, which last mob we believe to be the most legitimate one. This mob, it appears, grew out of the excitement produced by the winding up of the affairs of the Bank of Maryland. On Friday, the 7th day Of August, placards were posted in various parts of the city, in- viting the people to commit violence on the house of Reverdy Johnson, Esq. one of the
 late Directors of the Bank of Maryland. The Mayor in consequence called meeting of the citizens, which was numerously at tended, and at which resolutions were adopt ed recommending obedience to the laws, and deprecating resort to violent measures. This. however, only served to incense the ricters the more, and they assembled af night and broke some of the windows of Mr. sohnson's house. Upon being addressed by the Mayor and two other gentlemen, they dispersed, though evidently bent on further mischief. The next day meeting of citi- zens was again convened, and company or gafized for the purpose of supporting the civil authorities, if necessary. Soon after dark
 the mob again collected, and commenced dis turbances by throwing stones at the police officers, stationed at the intersection of Cal clock the officers were supplied with arms
 and commenced firing on the mob, several 0
 whom were killed, and many wounded. IT si,e mean time another detachment Of tht

In our paper of August 2lst, we published an Address of the Trustees of the College at Cane Hill. It naturally leads us to inquire how 1t happens that we have yet no institu- tion for learning at Little Rock. Although the Territory is yet young, it is no good req son why something should not be done by us to secure to the coming generation the bles- sings of education. live can leave them no other inheritance, we ought at least to leave them that. If we leave them no other bles- sing, that one at least we should not neglect. It should be the first object of every Anieri- can to secure to his children the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and of good gov ernment, which can never be enjoyed or aup- ported, even though once obtained, without the aid of education. What is 1t which makes us so far superior to tue bigotted and stupid inhabitants of South America and of Mexico Why is 1t, that while Santana, Franeia, and other men of the same stamp, have overturned the fragile governments of thubS COuutilcS, dHu iAduc IuciHeclFcs DtCLd- tors, TFe are still free, and capable of being so! It is because the common people, the whole community, are better educated, and able to appreciate and therefore willing to defend their rights.
 Some measure should be taken for founding a College at Little Rock. Seminaries of learning are springing up every where thro' the Western country, while we are still des- titute. Cur schools in this town have hither to been ehort-lived and transitory. Our Le- gislature should take some energetic steps in the matter, and we hope the next session will not pass by without it's being done.

 WE have seen letter, addressed to gen. tleman in this Territory, from one of the tra- ders who left Fort Smith Inst year, under the command of Mir. Coffee, of that place, for the purpose of trading with the Cumanehes and other Indians of the prairie. The letterstates that the party was eneamped, on the second of January last, on the bank Of Red River, about eighty miles above the Cross Timbers-that their fort s-as nearly completed, and their prospects were fattering. The Cumanche and Wequa chiefs had been in to trade with them, and were to return in about fifteen dlys with q large company of their followers.- The traders were to commence building boats in few days, and intend to raise corn and have garden this year. The health of the party had been very good.

MAILs.-As the vials of editorial wrath have been poured out by the Gazette upon all offending Postmastcrs and Contractors, there is little little VIC need now to say. The Memphis mailon Saturday and Tuesday last, leach day after their time brought no later news than on Monday previous. On Tuesday last, we received Washington dates to Jan. 29-- .Nashpilie and Boston dates of Jan. 3l. For all this, the fault lies with the Contractor but as we are now used to it, we don't mind it. The Editor of the Gazette complains that our paper is received on the Western route, while his paperfails We can only say that while we were at Crawford Court, that is, from the 9th to the 18th of February, the pre- else time of the failures of the Gazette com plained of,-t,oo mails arrived there, both of which left this place after the Advocate of Feb. 9th was published and deposited in the Post Office here-and neither of them con- tained our paper. One ef them contained tue Gasette Qt Feb 2rd. It is therefore mani- fest that whatever the cause of failure may be, it operates against one paper as well us the other.
