AAASAS SAAS o~ASSJ.
1--WE have learned
one lesson from this
discovery, which may
be of service hereafter;
and that is to pay no
attention to anony.
nous attacks before
knowing their author.
Here we have been,
for three or four weeks
parrying and warding
of the blows of an un.
known assailant, who
now turns out to be one
of q class of bipeds
whom this community
would not expect US
to notice, and to do
which, if known,
would be a departure
from our rule, and but
lily comport with our
desires. We IRE much
out with ourselves for
thus Ininistering ,.n.
aoittingly though it BE-
to the vanity Of one,
who, rather than not
be noticed at all, we
verify believe, would
take it as a favor to be
spit upon"

Nothing prevents us from extracting several
sentences from the last Gazette which apply
to Us, and commenting upon them, but the
low vulsarity Of the language in which they
are couched. This is its only shield.

We have received Communication from
Bloomington, in which the writer, gives q
graphic account Of the caucus recently held
in that place, for the purpose Of nominating
i've i've delegates from that precinct to attend
another caucus where the nomination Of a
candidate for Representative was to be made.
Not numbering enough in the caucus, with
out taking some Of their officers as delegates,
the orator, employed on the occasion, and the
chairman Of the. meeting were appointed.
The loco fcco would-be-rcprescntatiycs arc
quite busy in " those parts i'll their attempts
at drilling the People into the caucus system.
We have declined publishing the commun-
cation in detail, simply because the author
did not furnish us with his real name, a re-
QUESTION which we must insist upon from all
anonymous correspondents.

The communication Of : Cornelius is Sc.
we're, but from the gross personal attack
made upon him, in the last Gazette, and his
determination to fight with the same weapons
used by his assailani., we cannot we'll sec how
1T could be otherwise. From all we can learn.
the character Of the gentleman who has a.
dopted the name Of "Cornelius'. is unim.
peachables a.lf the system, pursued by tho
Gazette Of tradueings the character Of private
and orderly citizens is to be longer tolerated,
then shall we begin to believe the editor OF
that paper has az much influence over this
community as be prctends to have, and that
the character Of no citizen, however pure.
will be safe from his assaults. II the princi
pies Of Locoiocoism cannot be sustained ii,
any other way than by blasting the reputa-
tionsof private citizens, then are We heartily
glad that We are not ranked among this spc-
cics of bastard democracy. y

a candidate, until we sat self.elcctcd in our

"a large and respectable portion Of the wing
party" are much better satisfied with the re-
suit than is the editor Of the Gazette. He
need give himself no farther unessiness on
that score, unless he wishes some one to look
at the poll books, and ascertain by what ma

ne made while he was candidate.

week, in relation to the author Of Cor
nelius, and is fair specimen, of all the
other productions of this profound edi-

In the same article great surprise is

not expect him to notice, and 10 do

]. FIRE.

u IKE.
On Saturday night last our citizens were
aroused from their slumbers by the cry of Fire.
The FIRE originated. in the Cabinet shop Of
Messrs. Pierce & Prime at the corner Of second
and Jefferson streets. Fortunately there was
no wind, and through the interchangeable exer.
lions Of the citizens it was got under, after
consuming the cabinet shop and q one story
building attached to the new National Hotel
about being opened by Mr.. FLETCHER. The
Hotel itself was in imminent danger and would
probably have shared the fate Of the otter
buildings had it not been for the successful ef.
forts Of the citizens in pulling down one sto.
~ tenement Immediately adjoining. The citi.
zcns Of Burlington deserve much praise for
their promptitude and well directed efforts on
the occasion. Circumstances have led the pub.
i'c to suspect that the fire was the work Of an
inccndiary. a
