THE FIRE.
cat III pace.

The very Obstructive fire we mentioned as
having taken place last Saturday morning,
occasioned more loss than we at that time sup
posed. By the most rigid scrutiny lnstIgated,
it appears to have been the work OF lhcendl-
arism-persons testify that the fire was first
seen in u part of the building that had been
unoccupied for some timc past. It probably
never will be known positively, as the nnoc-
cupicd part was next to the bindery of Mr..
l.angtree, where it is supposed dyson TO have
first originated, and which, owing to the very
comb,.stb!e materials in it, would soon have
communicated to the other part of the house.
The building that contained the two printing
offices and bndery was entirely destroyed,
with MI the contents, saving the plates Of the
Madison papers, belonging to Mr.. Langtree
The Medical College was partially destroyed,
and the Baptist Church materially injured
The surrounding buildings were also much
damaged. The entire loss is estimated at
between forty and fifty thousand dollars. The
loss of.Mr langtree is the greatest, and is
said to be about $4,000: That Of Mr.. Allen
about $500. The loss to tbe College about

american.

We had prepared tewremarks in reference
to this journal, as the champion of MIR. Hand,
aud the defender of his notable contrivancc
for the manufacture of American citizens out
of foreign material when we heard that " life's
fitful fever" was over with it. This disarnls
us-we make no war upon the dead 0nr
feeljngs on this occasion are like those of the
worthy Scotch clergyman, who OIL beng re-
|ouested to make some reflections at the grave
of one who had led most unhallowed life,
delivered himself thus: "Ma' brethren, we a
cad upon to say something in memory O the
deed guide Gamma say, and bad wunna
sac put him doom"
We sincerely sympathise with the friends OF
the Metropolis, that it has not survived to see
the stupendous purposes of its policy carried
out, even in one solitary instance; that, des-
pite all its labors, "Mordeca still stitch in the
Kings gate" Should any "English radical"
or Irish Democrat" be selected to pour forth
the suggestions of his saddened spirit, before
the next conventce, on this, the occasion OF
its demise, we promise, with permission, to be
present, and hope, with the aid of an onion or
two, to do our part toward mostening its ashes.
The Metropolis has, on the whole, turned
out quite harmless affair, having aimed at
more mischief than it had the power to accom-
plish. That some of its arrows were poison
ed, no patriot can doubt, and directed alike at
the best interests of our beloved country, and
the we'll being of individuals for, " he takes
nv life who takes the means whereby live ,
But, as distinguished statesman has SAID,
there was not happily strength enough in the
bow to bring them to their mark. "Requies-
cat in pace"

FIRST GUN, AND A LOUD oNE FOR TIL
REPEAL PARTY.--F'rom the following article
it will he seen that the Natives have elected
their candidate to the Office of Mayor of New
Orleans. This is truly cheering, and what
we hardly expected. Presenting such obsta-
cles as does the City of New Orleans to the
Repeal Party we almost feared the result. But,
the good fight has proved victorious one.
Mr.. Freret was closely questioned by the Re-
peal Party, and having giving his views in full
satisfactorily, was taken up and supported by
Native Americans erclusively, for his views on
this subject. Both Wings and Democrats
natives, voted far him. Both Wings and Dem
ocrats foreigners, voted against hims. But,
it would seem the Inteligencer of yesterday
morning claims it as Wig victory Look
little further, Messrs. Editors, and you will
find it a Native Americ9, victory, over the
party shackles of the day. We say, therefore,
three cheers for the Native American victory
| in New Orleans
Is it not time for the Repeal Party of Wash
ing to nuke move, and organize for the ap-
preaching Charter elections? We have the
materials to work with, and it is time to begin
the edifce. Let there be meeting Of the
Association ca led, and orr candidates noml-
mated, and the victory will be ours. We hope
our friends will move in the matter without
delay.
TIE ELEcTIoN.--The election Yesterday
eventnated aoreeably to our most salglnne
expectations-W VIM. leret being elected ny
hard some majority. Although at this ell
ecton the Repeal Purity was somewhat divided
by the personal predictions OF its members
for the respective candidates, it proved snfii-
GENTLY strong to accomplish this glorious re-
! suit.
We would simply state to our natlra|'zed
citizens that it has never been the object OF
those who have established themselves tobrlne
about repeal Of the naturalization laws, either
in private lie or upon any political occasion
when naturaIizvd citizens manifested and eX-
ercised proper spirit and conduct, If WE
COULD, to make them feel inferior to ourselves
We cannot, however, close this hasty article
without requesting them on future occasions
to look to their own interests by uniting with
those who are capable aud determined to sup
port the real welfare of both native and natrr,
allied citizens viz the Repeal Party .-Nuta0e

being saved. This has been the largest fire
