Expected Fires at Washington. 1t has been
mentioned in The newspapers that the Wings of
Washington have organized a voluntary watch,
to prevent the public offices from being burned
down in the night by their occupants. This has
been considered by many joke, or a political ex-
aggeratIon, but we are informed by gentleman
recently from Washington, that i, is literally true.
The people OF Washington are satisfied, that as
soon as Gen. Harrison is elected attempts will be
made TO square off all accounts, and bury up all
populations, frauds and defacations by a conf1a-
grafton OF the public Offices, and number of
patriotic citizens have united, to guard against this
calamity.

character, and from his eminent public services,
yet when we consider the magnitude of the inter-
est involved in the case to the reputation of our
country, and to the great cause of freedom and
right we feel that noble as is the resolution OF Mr..

of all good men, he will gain, from his connexion
with such a cause, far more than lie will give
| His appearance before that august tribunal will
hereafter shine the brightest day in the life of u
man whose history has been for a century identi-
fed with his counlry's ,-Liberator.
