Two fires occurred in Cincinnati on
Saturday night, the 2Sth ult. The first
broke out about Z O'clock and destroyed
packing-shop and two OF three dwell

were not of much value; the furniture
was mostly saved.
The second occurred between 10 and
III o'clock, in Fifth street, between
Lodges Alley and Walnut street, and de-
stroyed two dry-goods stores with most
of their contents,-Podestra's fruit store
and great part os the fruits and confec'
tiOnares on hand, and the upper story Of
Mr.. Rdffin's dry-goods store. Most oI
this property was insured.
These fires are supposed TO be the

other broke ont in a stable in another

THE HARRISON ADMlNISTRA-


The cause of the whig victory will be
the cause of their defeat. The political
elements already forbode this event. A
party which comes into power by such
unhallowed means, cannot retain that
power.
The wings are waking up TO the reality
of their situation. The hard cider dissi-
patton is about over-sober moments
spent in sober reflection, afford but little
promise of successful Administration.
Already are leaders beginning 10 review
their course in the late struggle, and
their PROMISES to the people. Impos-

ARAR CARELEssNEss. Generally
speaking among the Arabs, there is the
m oreaiest inattention TO the business on
gbich they are engaged. A man who
strikes a blow with hammer seldom
Iooks to where the instrument falls. A
carpenter, with achisel or a plain, takes
10 trouble 10 watch what his tool is doing.
There is little regard to lines or angles.
If a nail is driven, no trouble is taken to
ascertain whether il is too large or too
small for the purpose proposed. I Nothing
is made TO fit. There is no adaptation
Of means to ends. Every thing is out of
place; and il perpetually happens that
articles are bough. or manufactured, Of
which there is large supply in the nagi
azines, if anybody knew where to look
for them. But this state Of things is

Some Of tho. whig papers are urging
the necessity Ofan extra session of Con-
gress to be called BY Con. Harrison soon
after his inauguration. This, probably,
is to be the commencement of the re.
trenchment in The government expendi-
lures. which they have promised, An
extra session Of one month would cost
the country only two or three hundred
thousand dollars. This would be very

A oUANDARY.

Before the election the whig editors,
orators and ofiice-seekers told the people
that the evils brought upon the country |
by the Van Buren Office holders we're be-
yond endurance-that ruin stared us IN
the face, and would certainly come upon
us if there should be no change Of Off
cers-that these evils would be remedied
and this ruin averted by Change
change of the policy of the adminlstra-
ton was all that was necessary to secure
money in abundance and general pros
perily throughout the country. The
change has been efected--an army of
hungry office-seekers have accomplished
their ends-they have been chosen the
agents of the people to bring about such
desirable change in the affairs of the
county. But the tables are now turned;
they never expected to accomplish, by
change, what they have promised, and
they are now endeavoring to get rid of
the responsibility which has devolved
upon them. The following extract is
from an extraordinary article copied into
the Cincinnati Gazette from the Troy
Wing, and endorsed by the Gazette as
containing "much good sense" The
Wing, after expressing the opinion tha
a United States Bank will not be char
tered, and that the sub-treasury law will
be repealed, says
"Whal then is the prospect before us'
--We answer,-it depends upon the &C
ton of the PEOPLE. They have TO
choose which they prefer, prosperity ol

those measures which experience ha'
shown to be conducive Of it; il the latter
let them adopt those measures whlct
