1t is unnecessary 70 inform you, or
any of my friends, that this use of nv

tion of January last. But you know
that fact I; and you also know that,
whatever Of influence ! possess, it will
be most zealously cxerted in favor of
every candidate nominated by the Whiy
Convention and i' it were necessary.
in an especial manner would that in
fluence be eXcrted in favor of that most
able, efficient and excellent officer, Gen.
Greene, who is one of my most valued
personal, as well rs political friends,
and against whom / have been most
unwarrantably nominated, by pcrsons,

cases of great public urgency people
have right to demand the services of

waited may be his standing. But tho
present case is, in my judgment, in all
it's aspects, wholly excluded from that
rule.
In great haste,
remain very truly, SC.

FIRE AT RICHMOND!

The Wing states that the Bell Tavern sta
oies were consumed on Monday night, and
with them II horses.
The Richmond Compiler says The fire
communicated to an adjoining brick row in
rear of Messrs. Gaynor & Registers Drug
Store. Before it could be arrested, the row
was destroyed. 1t comprised three fenements
and small Office. The first tenement on the
Bell Tavern Alley was occupied by Messrs.
Gaynor & Register, and the next by MIR. VIM.
F. Butler, as lumber-house. The third was
occupied by slaves owned by Mr.. Goodwin,
adjoining which was his office.
