would receive the votes of 5000 canal hands.
These votes were given to him. In other parts
of this Congressional District the lowest estimate
of aliens at work upon the railroads is more than
$500. All these voted for Douglass. Thus will
it appear, that had the voice of the citizens of this

The New York Star with other papers, are
making great disturbance about Mr.. John Van
Buren and the Queen of England Should the
Queen get him for huband, we will warrant that
she will get very genteel looking young man, of
six feet in heigth, and of good talents. Young Van
Buren, is beyond the jurisdiction of the United
States, and particularly of the American press; and
we do Think rather hard that young gentleman of
fashion and leisure cannot take his sport in any
part of the world, without having the finger of
party press pointed at him. Mr.. John Van Bu-
rem must laugh at the roar of the big artillery that
is shooting at him. If Mr.. Van Buren, is not tar
get enough for all the Editors, without bringing
in his sons, we are very much mistaken. With
out knowing or caring one farthing for Mr.. John
Van Buren,, save gentleman and an Ameri-
can, or of his father, save as the President of our
native land, we have said thus much in the mat
ter. 1t was not our duty, but it was our taste.

The unusual number of fires that have occurred
in this city within the last few days, is alarming
and exciting. The evidence is conclusive that
they are the work incendiares. The fire Of last
Sunday destroyed several houses, none of them
very large; but had the office of the National In
telligencer been burnt and great fears were en-
ter,aned Of its safety, the whole country would
have felt the loss for that office does work for the
whole Union. We rejoice that both the office of
the National 1ntelligencer, and that of our friend,
escaped the devouring element; the latter estab-
lshment having been in great danger some ten or
twelve days ago. .

Are the means with which victory's won.

Not the lion, is the king Of the tribe.

That was won in riots full tide.
