THE ELECTIONS OF 1871.

During the last year fourteen S tates elected
their Representatives to the 26th Congress, mum.
bering in all IA. OF this number elected, IS
are friends 10 the administration Of Gen. Harrison
and 60 are supposed to be opposed to that admin.
istra,ion.
During the present year, and before the meet
ing Of the next Congress, elections for Repre-
sentatives in that body will be held in - OF the
States. These twelve States are represented by
90 members, Of whom in the present Congress, %
are friendly to the new administration, As op.
posed, and 2 uncertain.
If, in the approaching elections, the friends Of
Gen Harrison maintain their present Represcn.
,atives in Congress- or those o the same politics,
the new administration will have clear certain
majority in the lower House Of %.
This result it is desirable to obtain, nay it is OF
paramount importance that Congress should by

decidedly expressed in the late Presidential cleo.

ByIecent laws Of several OF the Legislatures
Of the above States the time Of election has been
fixed earlier in the season, in anticipation Of a
possible call from the Executive Of an Extra SEES
sion Of Congress.
So far as we have heard, the tide OF popular
opinion continues to run so strongly in favor Of
the incoming administration that we do not at
present anticipate any loss in either Of the above
States, unless it be in Alabama, where the gene.
raj ticket system has recently been adopted In
all Of the other States, no, now thoroughly in our
favor, we anticipate considerable gains.
We trust, however, that our friends will nc
where forget the unfinished work they have tc
perform. We should be sorry TO see, and tbs
whole nation would be disappointed and grieved
if through negligence, or false security, the com
mon adversary should regain, in any degree, hi:
lost advantages. But after such glorious exhi
bon Of their patriotic conduct as we had from
our friends during the late contest, we expect no
thing hut the most favorable accounts OF their zeal

and we shall not doubt the result.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Gentlemen-l hasten to inform you that
most dreadful fire occurred this morning,
about one o'clock, consuming the dwelling,
with the furniture, all the out buildings,
with six head of cattle, and four or five
horses, belonging to Mr.. Collin F. Hale,
at Hale's corner, eight miles below this
place. | understand, on good authority
that there is no doubt it was set on fire.
Mr.. Hale saved nothing whatever, except
his store house which was about 200 feet
from the dwelling-the wind blew very fresh.
The barn and stable caught fire, which was
very near the dwelling, and in few min
utes both, with all their contents, were con-
sumed. You may rely on this, which is not
a Williamsport hoax. Yours.

MR.. GRANGER.

The statements in respect to Mr. Gran
gers Abolitionism are unqualiticdy false
We shall in few days, cite ample proof
OF the fact, and call upon the Richmond
Enquirer, who has made the charge, to pub
fish them. At present. we shall confne
the evidence to what follows: We are
authorized by member Of Congress-we
had as well say at once Mr.. Botts--to say
that Mr.. Granger thinks Virginia right, and
Governor Seward wrong, in the pending
controversy. 1t will be conceded, we pre-
sumo, that no abolitionist is likely to hold
that opinion. We are authorized by
another parsonage of very high and emf
nent distinction TO say, that when informed
that he had, in Richmond, been charged as
an Abolitionist. Mr.. Granger told General
Harrison that he hoped if he ever made
such a discovery, they would turn him
meek and heels out Of his Cabinet.
There never was a vlcr tasehood and
SANDER, as we shall abundantly show.
General Iiarrison's Inaugural will take the
most decisive grounds against the Adolf
tonists as General Harrison has done for
% years. None but fool could suppose
that in such a state of things. Gen. Harrison
would appoint an Abotionist to his Cabi-
net.-Rich. Wing.

WAsHINeroN, Feb. 10, 1871.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1871.
Sin; Events being likely to take place which
will necessarily cause my retirement from the
Senate, have thought it proper that should
anticipate their actual occurrence for the purpose
Of enabling the Legislature to fill the place,
should such be its pleasure, during its present
session.
The object Of this communication, therefore,
is to say, that on the twenty .second day Of this
month my resignation will be made known to
the Senate, and that from that day my seat will
be vacant.
My immediate purpose would be fulfilled,
were | now to say no more; but | confess do
not find myself able, without violence to my
feelings, to the tie Of public service, which
has so long connected me with Massachusetts,
by mere formal notice OF resignation.
A sense Of the obligation which am under to
the Legislature and the people Of that State, has
sunk deep into my heart, and hope il may not
be unbecoming in me 10 give it utterance on this
occasion.
Coming originally from another State, and
only an adopted fellow. citizen, the people Of
Boston bestowed on me the high distinction oil
representing them in Congress, and thus gave an
unexpected turn 10 the course Of my life. This
honor they saw fit to repeat, more than once, un
der circumstances calculated TO satisfy my hlghes
ambition, and awaken my warmest gratitude.
At later period it pleased the Legislature to
appoint me to a seat in the Senate, which have
now holden, under that and subsequent appoint
ments, for fourteen years; eighteen years having
elapsed, since | first came into Congress from
Massachusetts. These have been years OF labor
responsibility, and anxiety but they have brought
along with them solid qualification, in proporti or
to the consciousness which have been able to
feel, that my public conduct has met with thu
appreciation of my constituents, aud has not beer
thought preudicial to the general interests Of the
country. And if it be now, and shall continue
to be hereafter the Judgment Of Massachusetts
that her prosperity has not been impaired, MOI
her honor tarnshed by being trusted, in some
degree TO my hand, and that have deserved
well of that common country, 10 which we are
all bound by so many ties OF interest and affec
ton shall be richly compensated for all labo
and all sacrifices Proud to be one Of her clti
Gems, proud to serve her, proud to connect myself
honorabIy if such may be my good fortune, will
her name and character, shall never cease to b
penetrated with the profoundest conviction oil
duty towards her, nor fail to supplicate the
Divine Goodness for favors and blessings upol
her Government and people.
have the honor to be your Excellency's ODE
dent and very humble servant,
DAN'L WEBSTER.

Governor OF the Commonwealth Of Mass.
