FrEE.--On Wednesday morning last, a,
bout o'clock, our citizens were alarmed
by the cry of fire, which was discovered
to proceed from the two story brick house
a, the north west corner ofConococheague
and Salisbury streets, owned by the Rev.
John Light, and partly occupied by
Mr.. Roberts, es a school house. The
fire when discovered had made such pro-
gress. that all attempts to save the build
ing were in vain. The adjoining tene.
ment, occupied by Mr.. John Stake, as a
shoe makers shop, was in great danger,
but BY the exertions of our citizens was
saved, though with considerable loss, in
the removal Of their materials. The loss
sustained by Mr.. Light, we should sup.
pose, would be between IL, and 1900
dollars. Nothing satisfactory has been
ascertained as to the origin ofthe fire.

Viz.
In viewing the transactions which
are now taking place at the seat of Gov
ernment, we are forcbly struck with the
great changes which have taken place IN
the movements Off number of public men
from different sections of the country
We see individuals, who, formerly exer-
csed flaming zeal in support of The last
and present administrations, turning with
all the fury with which they are capable
Of surcharging their heated imagnations,
in opposition to all the leading measures
of those administrations, without conde-
scending as we conceive to give to their
constituents any sufficient reason for so
doing. We are therefore led 10 tine con-
clusion that when man abandons one
party to coalesce with another he is often
more actuated by culpable motive than
a yirtuous action,
Resolved. Therefore That this meet
ing has the most unbounded confidence in
the wisdom, integrity, and patti otsm of the
nrescnt administration Of the General
Government
Resolved. That we will not support
any individual for Congress, who enter
tains different feelings and views in re-
lation thereto.

were appointed said committee, viz. ia
cob Seibert, Jeremiah Hawkins, DR.. John
Hedges, Michael X. Seibert, DR.. Thomas
S. Page, Henry c. Small, Joseph Burns,

Resolved. That inasmuch as Martins
burg is the most central point in this dis
trict, we would respectfully name it as
the most convenient place for the meet
ing of said Convention, should it meet the
ofour democratic brcthern
ofthis Congressional district.
Reso7rcd. That the proceedings Of
