PENNSYLVANIA POLITICs.-Much anxiety
is manifested to ascertain what will be the
result of the present state of politics in Penn
sylvania. Gov. Wolf has been nominate d
for reelection, by one section of the Jack
son party, and Mr.. Muhlenburg, by another,
and each party sails under the Van Burcn
flag. Meantime, Mr.. Ritner is the candidate
of the Wings and Anti-masons.
The Wolf party and the Muhlcnburg par
ty, are opposed to each other, in the most
bitter hostility. Each insists that the candi-
date of the other shall withdraw from the
contest. The parties are respectively de-
nominated-the Wolves and the Mules
But the Wolfsh Convention, when they NOM
mated their candidate for Governor, also
made out and nominated ticket for Presi-
dental electors. The Mules neglected 10 do
this, and denounced the electoral ticket of
their rivals. AS Presidential electors are
chosen by a plurality Of votes, should the
Mules get up distinct ticket, the probabili-
ty is, that the Wing electoral ticket would
go ahead of either Of the Jackson Van Bu-
rem tickets. Some reconciliation will, there
fore, be necessary, and we npprehend that it
Will be this: Mr.. Wolf will be bought off,
and prevailed upon to decline, and as an off.
set to this, the Mules will consent to support;
the electoral ticket nominated by the Woifsh
iConvention.-As recompense for this, Mr..
Wolf will probably be rewarded with TO.
reign embassy TO any Court in Europe where
he may choose to go. Mr.. Muhenburg will
be elected Governor, and the Wolfisi Van
Buren, electoral ticket will prevail rs the reg
ular built Jackson ticket. Let Van Buren,
alone for arranging matter of this sort. lie
cares not straw who is Governor, provided
that he can secure the electoral ticket to him.
self. "All is fair in politics." is his motto:
give me 'ilt, and will give you a lift. lie

This being the case, it is incumbent on the

own Candidate, and give him, If possible.

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE.-An extensi,

hNoIHEh NkEAT Il IKE.-An extensive
fire occurred this morning, opposite st. Pat
rck's Cathedral, in the centre of the square
formed on Prince, Mott, Houston and Eliza
beth streets. 1T commenced at o'clock, and
before 6 about five and twenty houses we're
burned to the ground. There was one brick
house among them, and the others fronting
on the streets were either two story brick
fronts or frame buildings. Those in the rear
were of wood, and the whole space was COW
cred by dense mass Of buildings. The
flames reduced to the ground all fronting on
Prince street, and ran up to 22l Elizabeth.
and to 22S Mott, and with the exception of n
few Africans, were occupied by Irish labor
ers and their families; also as porter-h house,
groceries, Sc. &c.
The sufierings occasioncd by the lire must
have been great, for an intelligent man, well

two cars, each drawn by two horses, in about
five honrs-the party stopping, from time to
time, to examine points OF interest along the

the want of intelligence Of the horses, to
which rail road was a novelty, and which

subject of the suspension of the works

by attributing the suspension Of said
works to his instance or influence at
Washington. With regard to the report
referred to,we have only to say that it is
news to us-wc never heard Of it be-
fore, and are very sure no intmation Of
the kind has appeared in any of the pa
pers previous to yesterday. AS for Du-
tee J. Pearce's influence, no person sup
poses, or ever did suppose, that it is, or
ever was, or ever will be such, with the
Government, as to cause an important
public work to be suspended, and an ap-
preparation to carry it into effect with
held at his instance-nor has any one of
the whig party had the consummate fol-
ly, or the objectionable ignorance to as
sert any thing Of the kind. The fact is,
the charge was never made, nor can a
single individual Of the Jackson party
he found who ever heard Of it from any
body but Dutee himself. The date of
the letter from the Engineer Depart
ment TO Col. Totten, May 23d) stating
the reasons for suspending the work al
luded TO TIL further appropriation shall
be made by Congress, shews that the
fact Of the suspension of the work was
known here previous to the date Of
Pearce's letter to Gen. Gratiot. And
the dates ofthe communications from the
Secretary of the Treasury and Fifth
Auditor on the subject, (May CO. show
that it might have been known to him,
who is in correspondence with them, at
a much earlier period. There is no doubt
therefore, that the causes for the suspen-
sion Of the appropriation were known to
MIR. Pearce before he wrote to Gen.
Gra!iot TO enquire into it-and the letter
was written solely with view Of draw
ing an answer from Gen. Gratiot, which
he (Pearce) knew must be in form to
reiute charges never made, but trumped
up by himself for political effect, with a
view to their publication. 1t is idle, how
ever, to waste words upon subject so
truly ridiculous, and we leave this mis-
cradle attempt at humbug without further
comment; as it carries upon its face the
best evidence of its utter fasty and
worthlessness.
