A CARD.


The Editor of the MADIsoNIAN presumes he
will not vainly ask the indulgence Of his subscrib-
ers, under the circumstances in which he has been
placed, by the destruction of his property. In
consequence of there being in the city no mate
rails, at present. in shape TO bring out the Madi-
sonian conveniently in style uniform either in
size, type, or appearance with the numbers pre-
yiously published, he thinks his subscribers will
kindly bear and forbear for few days, until he
can look about him composedly, and determine
what should be DONE
lie IS indebted to the kindness of Messrs. GALES
~ SEAToN for the loan OF materials to issue the
present publication which is sent 10 all the sub
scribers Of the Madsonian to inform them Of the
calamity which is shared by the editor and the
subscriber, though in very different proportions.
lie has lost his property but he has preserved
his life, his health his intellect, and his faith For
this he is thankful. He also tenders many thanks
to the iremen and citizens who engaged with
great zeal in the effort to save TO those who have
expressed their sympathies in his behalf; and to
the numerous friends who have hattered him with
the idea that his services have been sufficiently
useful to the Opposition party TO warrant belief
that an effort to revive his labors would be encou-
ragged and probably sustained.
