Correspondence of the Daily Palladium.
New MILFORD, Feb. 81, 1s43.
DEAR S1R,-Itis with satisfaction that in
form you that the Wing Congressional Con-
Yention, holden this day in this town, have
nominated the. Hon. THOMAS B. OS-
BORNE for.re.election to Congress- The
Convention was very large and enthusiastic
and the delegates from this county have gone
home in high spirits. You may set down
Mr.. Osborne as elected. The state of things
in this county is much better than anticipa-
ted il would be at this time, and there is an
improved aspect daily, Notwithstanding the
great efforts Of few individuals to divide the
Wings on abstract questions that they may
be conquered by those who divide on nothing
but the "spoils of victory" There is as
much abolitionism in the county as ever,
and | think may say more; but most OF it
is Of that character which appreciates the
bold stand which the Wing party in Con-
gress and out Of j: have taken in support of
the abolition champions there, and in sup
port OF all the great interests of the anti
slaveholding states; it therefore seeks to
conciliate rather than exasperate the Wings.
confess am surprised 20 find this feeling
SO general, after the great efforts of certain
! individuals to produce different state of
things. In short, the disintercsted abolition.
| lists are generally with us many Of the ex-
ceptions arc those who want TO be candidates
for office, as representatives, &c.-sort of
compromise candidates - but being known
and read of all men, they will have but little
influence for evil.
The Wings will make most decided ef-
fort iD this county, and the delegates from
Fairfield county report very favorabIy in
! respect TO their prospects. Our ticket for
State officers see ms to be very popular with
all our friends in this part of the state, and
| it will be elected otherwise set me down no
prophet"
The Western Maii,says the N. Y. Tribune,
brings an account of dreadful fire which &C.
Cured in Cincinnati on the afternoon of the
25th ult., about O'Clock, by which seven men
are known to have been killed, and twenty,
more or lrss, seriously wounded. The fire
broke ont in the smoke house Of Messrs. Pugh
and Alsord, at the corner of Walnut street
and the canal. The smoke house stood in
the rear and was somewhat detached from
the main building, by wooden door which
| opened on narrow passage.
| In the course of half an hour the main
building was filled with smoke, ratified air.
and probably some inf1ammable gass, from
the smoke house, and when the flames burst
| through the wooden door connecting the two
| buildings, an instantaneous roar of flame
was perceived, and in "a twinkling of an eye
the whole of this spacious, substantial build
| ing was mass of ruins. The whole roof
was lifted up in the air and thrown into the
streets in large iragments-the second story

The appearance ofthe explosion was aw-

several most es,imable citizens. II is thought
that from eight to twelve persons were i'm

wounded-some ofihem dangerously.
There were 100000 lbs of bacon in the
smoke house-all lost, but fully insured. On
the pork house there was an insurance of
$4,000, which will cover the loss. The sur.
rounding sheds were filled with lard. barrel
pork, bacon, but it was generally got out
without injury.
The Pork House was erected by George
w. Jones in 1880. for the late Bank of the
United States, and built in the most faithful
and substantial manner throughout.
This is the largest fire that has occurred
in Cincinnati since the 10th of March 1912,
when the Pork House occupied by r. w.
Lee L. Co. and Pugh g. Alvord was destroy
ed. A similar explosion took place then,
from the pent. up smoke and gasses which
shattered the walls. but did little other da-
mage. as the building was open and part
ly burnt at the moment
TYLERTsM IN New JRRsEY.-NVe perceive
by the Trenton State Gazette, that the an
cient and approved organ of "the democra-
cy," at the seat of government, the Trenton
Emporium. has been sold, body and soul, to
TyIerisM No, not soul-for the editor, who
was not the proprietor, was not consulted in
the matter till the parchment was signed;
and then refusing 10 be transferred with the
types, and as though he were only type,
to be set in any form the purchaser might
( choose-he abandoned the concern.
This will cause f1utter in "the demo-
cracy." who for season, will be like a
| flock Of sheep that have lost their believe
Their; but still they will be sheep, and follow
the new tinkling, with here and there an
exception.
This is playing out the game of which the
Tyler meeting at Trenton, some days ago.
was the great outward movement. Under
hand and secret plotting has been going on
for some time.
One of the first fruits Of this converting
New Jersey Loco Focoism into TyLerism is
we understand to be the promotion to TO-
reign court - we have heard Denmark ua-
mcd-as Charge dAfaires, of an eminent
| itlnera at orator of the state, who studied d.
plomacy on tailor's shop board. This is
somewhat Of new school of education in
that line, but who shall say that it may not
turn out as successful adopts as some who
now represent the country abroad Al anv
