When, during the administration OF John
@. Adams, some half dozen publishers OF the
laws, "by authority" were deprived OF that
lucrative Office, averaging about $IOO per
annum, for services for which private lndl-
vidua would be charged thrice that sum- the
Jackson men were sadly alarmed at the vast
extent Of erecutiue patronage and po,oer which
they already foresaw, from this tyrann cal and
despotic exercise Of it, was destined soon to
overwhelm our free institutions. They got
up a committee in the Senate to preach a.
gainst the extension Of executive power, and
to call for its curtailment, as they did in the
House-to proclaim a war upon extrava-
ga nee, and to produce long homilies on the
virtue of economy! Mr.. Benton, the Missou-
ri Senator, was the chairman Of the Senate
rial committee; and, from his report on the
occasion, we quote a single paragraph for the
ediication Of our Van Buren friends:
awe must look forward to the time," says
the colonel, "when the public revenue will be
DOUBLED; when the civil and military officers
of the Federal Government will be QUADRU-
PIED; when its influence over individuals
will be multiplied to an indefinite extent;
WHEN THE NOMINATION BY THE PRESIDENT
"
AND HIS RECOMMENDATION CAN CARRY ANY
MEASURE THROUGH THE TWO HOUSES OF
CONGRESS; WHEN THE PRINCIPLE OF PUBLIC
ACTION WILL BE OPEN AND AvowED-the
President ,cants MY rotc, and ,odnt HIS pat.
ronage, I ,ciH VOTE as he ,oishes, and he ,0ip
GIVE me the office ,oish .tor.-WHAr WILL
THIS BE BUT THE GOVERNMENT or ONE MAN?
ND WHAT rs THE GOVERNMENT OF ONE MAN
BUT MONARCHY? Names are nothing. The
nature of thing is in its substance, and the
name soon accommodates itself to the sub.
stance"
If Senator Benton had written this para
graph in 1886 instead Of 1929, he could not
have drawn more graphic sketch Of things
MS they are, nor addressed the people in a
more emphatic voice Of warning. The things
predicted have come to pass; and if the peo-
pie now elect the Presidents nominated sue

GREAT FIRE NEWARK.

1t is with extreme regret that we have to
announce a very destructive fire in our sister
city, Newark, New Jersey, which has de-
stroyed property estimated at two hundred
Thousand dollars, about one-half Of which, we
understand, was insured. or this sum, $25,-
600 is insured in the Mutual; $4,000 in the
New Jersey, and $4,000 in the Mechanic's
Company Of Newark; about $4,000 in a
Hartford Company, and about $4,000 in the
New York and Philadelphia companies.
The fire commenced ut ~ minutes past 9
yesterday afternoon in Wards chandlery
store, on the south side Of Market street near
the corner Of Brondstreet, and owing TO the
difficulty Of procuring sufficient supply OF
water, it spread with fearful rapidty, east and
west of Wards premises, and by 8 o'clock in
the evening two thirds of the block, including
all the buildings in Broad street, between
Market and Mechanic street, about twenty
buildings on Market street, and nearly as ma
ny more on the north side Of Mechanic street,
were razed to the ground--as were also a.
bout dozen small wooden buildings, princ.
pally occupied by poor families, on the soutl,
side Of the last mentioned street.
The fire was accidental, having originated
from some defect in a fire place or stove, in
Mr.. Wards store.
Several buildings were blown up. under
the direction of Capt Gedney, of the u. 8.
surveying schooner New Jersey, and Lieut..
Dayton Williamson, also Of the navy. both Of
those gentlemen came from Elizabethtow

RAL HISTORY.

CONePIcUOUs among the institutions of a
literary and scientific nature, which add to
the character Of the city Of New York, is the
establishment, the name of which is found at
the head of this short notice. For more thai
half century have several Of the humane
and benevolent ssOciations of this extensive
metropolis, been in full and active operation,
and the New York hospital has already had
its historian, who, in becoming terms, has set
forth its capabilities and its excellence. The
same may be said Of several other public
charities. Tho Lyceu of which it is our in
tention to speak more ut length on future
day, was originally created by the voluntary
association of few young and enterprising
Daturalists, who selected the late distinguish
ed DIR. Mitchill as their president, and short
ly after obtained an act OF incorporation from
the Legislature Of New York, during the ses-
sion Of 1919. From that time to the present,
they have been actively engaged in the pro-
motion of the immediate objects Of their for
nation: to collect and preserve objects of nat
ural history, particularly Of botany, mineralo-
gy, and zoology, and their rich cabinets testi-
fy to their zeal and energy. They have also
published from time to time memoirs or an
nails of the proceedings of the lyceum, now
amounting to three goodly sized volumes; and
the skliul affirm that many of their papers
may be pronounced as among the most valu-
able printed by any of the literary societies
OF our country. Within the last few weeks
their spacious edi6ce, situated on Broadway,
has been completed, and is now fitting up
with suitable and large apartments, for the
meetings of the society, their cabinet Of curl
osities, and their library Major Delafeld is
their present PRESIDENT; but of their new Off
