THE PRESIDENCY. -.-ea,

In our last number expressed the opinion which
we believed was entertained by the people upon this
subject; but lest any msnterpretation may be made
of what we then said take occasion to state that
IT was not our purpose to detract from the merits of
any one of the distinguished who are named for
our candidates. We are in favor of the most ayala
bic candidate-and We only express the wishes Of
the people The democr attic party generally Of this
region prefer some other man to Mr.. Van Buren-not
that they feel unkindly toward hm-but that the pre-
! JUDGES which were created against HIM, uniustjy
have been too ar,fully engrafted upon the public
mind to enable us TO have fair trial of our princi-
pies. 1t was this weight to which we alluded, and
which it is known, during the last canvass was most
nsdously created by every species of fasehood and
misrepresentation which could be invented and
whichnow presents the question of availability ia
such shape, that while the democracy cherish the
same Kind feelings and confidence towards Mr. Van
Buren, that they do towards all the other distinguished
men, they prefer to have man against whom
no prejudces have been created so that their prn-
cipes may have fair trial Of their strength without
anything Of an eXtraneOus character to contend with
In expressing our opinion OF the choice TO be made
we, like other editors, compelled, of course to
refer TO the causes which make availability and
those, too, which considered as supernducing
less availability. Further than this we do not intend
the expression of our opinions towards ang of our
leading 1t is not the first time in the history of
patriotic statesman that deep-rooted prejudces
have been known to exist. 1t neither lessons his
merits nor his reputation-but wise men, under such
circumstances will always perceive the necessity, in
Republic, where popular opinion and even popular
prejudice sometimes give form and body to popular
action, TO treat with it respectfully, and for the sake
Of fair trial of their principles, postpone their
personal preferences for those higher considerations
Hence prudence of expression must often be used,
however much we desire particular men, under such
state of things. We must show ourselves Republi-
cans, by following out practically the motto of our
party, "prncipes, not men" In this sense and
with this view alone, have taken ground-and
while do SO for the purpose of avoiding the o5ec-
lions which made to Mr. Van Buren, il ought not
to wound him, for any such sensitiveness would be
causeess For IT is not in the power of any man to
make or unmake the availability Of a candidate But
as Journalists of the popular will, take that will
as we find -and we think the safety and success Of
the Democratic party can only be had by the selec
ton which shall be made in conformity with that
will.

Dean SIR; 1t may be gratifying TO you to
know that for the first time in fourteen years,
this county (Allcgheny) has elected genuine
Democratic member Of Congress.
Judge Wilkins has been returned by msjo-
rity of 2,220 over Neville b. Craig, and $50
over both bis opponents, Craig and Bracken
ridge, combined. Judge w. is the Democratic
candidate, Craig the exclusive Anti-Maso sonic
candidate, and Breckenridge the Clay Anti
Masonic candidate but Breckenridge would
have had much larger vote had not great eff
fort been made to convince the People that he
was personally weak, and that Craig would
vote Tor Clay in The event of that gentleman
nomination. AS it is, the Anti-Masons and the
Clay-whigs are both beaten soundly

INCIDENTS IN THE BURNING or THE MIssoUm.-We

steamer that strike singular, and at the same
time, Characteristic.
There was on board pet bear, which, as the flames
were raging became more and more excited, until,
they burst forth the Deck the inluriated animal

There was also on board Newfoundland bitch
with her pup. While the men remained at quarters
she too remained, going in and out among them as

the pup IN her mouth, and running out on the bow.

YELLOW FEVER IN WAsHrvGToN ". C-We learn
from the Republican OF Thursday last the following
melancholy dngs Of the existence of this dangerous
disease in the borders Of the Old North State
"That the yellow fever is in Washington seems TO
US TO be useless TO DENY Some few cases that have
occurred of late settle that point beyond contradic-
ton We thus write that our neighbors may be in
possession of all the facts IN the Although we
are thus plain, we say at the same time that much
of the sickness here nothing than the bilious
fever. And by way Of giving the whole truth we will
state that there was 26 deaths in this town from the
3lst Of August to the 4th Of October inst among the
white population there have also been some few
deaths among the negroes. OF the 26 deaths II, We
feel warrented IN asserting, were Of yellow fever"
