The appointment of Treasure. For few
weeks past the Van Buren, papers of this state
have bestowed large share Of attention to
this subject-of cou sc finding as much fault
as possible with the Wings generally and Gov
Jenison in particular. We believe nearly all

ced the appointment OF Mr. Wardner as an
awful stretch Of Executive poOer-yea, even as
apalpable violation Of the constitution. We will

barganed for the support of The loco focos,
By nominating a part OF the candidates of
the latter. The conservatives" refuse 10
be sold, and declare for the Wing ticket.
AT q meeting Of the conservatives, holden
in the 18th ward, The following resolutions
among others we're adopted.
Resolved, That the doctrines, measures
and practices OF the Loco Foco party are
dangerously destructive and despotic and
have for their object the utter overthrow of
all those institutions which sustain man in
an exalted state Of civilization, happiness,
and prosperity on which the poor and the
rich alike depend for their comforts, their
employments and their bread.
Resolved, That in our judgment, the
credit syslem is the vital instrument OF our
productive industry, common prosperity,
freedom and happiness; and that in the
strongest and most in1issouble bond of our
National Union, and the surest, if not the
only efec,ual safeguard, against absolute
ness and unqualified tyranny.
Resolved, That the collection Of the
public revenue, in such material and man.
ner az will not interfere with the business
operations and productive industry OF the
country, is not only grea, distinguishing
feature, but an indispensable ingredient Of
every free government.
Resolved, That the Government which
collects its revenues in pure metallic money.
and locks it up in lis own vaults from the
use Of the people, regardless of their wants,
can be looked upon in no other light thar
as despotism, ard cannot he tolerated by
the People in procedure so hostile TO the
general thrift.
Resolved, That we consider il 10 be n
primary duty OF every government, TO fur
nish and provide the means Of sound and
uniform currency: to foster and susta in the
productive industry of the country; anil
that it is dangerous in the extreme 10 invade
or disturb il by experimental and untried
expedients, or otherwise obstrJct lis sauts-
ry operations.
Resolved, That we have heard with feel
ings Of establishment and indignation, oil
the interference OF Amos Kendall, Post
Master General OF the United States, in
our local politics, in his recent communica-
ton 10 Levi d Slumm: Ia loco foco,] and
that the part taken by other officers OF the
General Government, servants OF US, the
people, in our city affairs, and their efforts
10 bring the weigh! OF their Official stations
into our elections, is an impertinent inter-
ference, dangerous 10 onr liberties, and de-
serves the unqualified reprobatios of every
Republican Citizen.

Horrible accident in place Of Worship.-A
melancholy accident occurred a few weeks ago,
in the neighborhood OF Swenicianny, a small
Russian town in the government OF wilma.
A catholic church, situated near the town, APP
peared TO have been favourite resort for the
pious pilgrims of the neighbourhood. On the
day dedicated TO the patron saint, an immense
concourse had assembled, and most Of the
peasants had brought their votive offerings,
chiefly consisting Of the produce Of their farms.
One poor woman had bundle Of flax before
the altar, where it unfortunately came in con
tact with one OF the tapers and caught fire. In
a lew moments the flames were communicated
TO the building itself, which, like most oil the
churches in that country, was entirely built Of
wood. The assembled crowd rushed 10 the
only door, but were, for some time, unable to
escape, as the multitude outside, on the first
alarm being given, attempted to rush into the
building, TO afford assistance. Upwarde OF one
hundred persons were burnt or trampled TO
death, and a much larger number seriously in-
jnred. - Pru;sian State Paper.
