FIRE.-The morning slumbers of our citizens
were disturbed on Tuesday last by the cry of fire
fire and the ringing of alarm bells. 1t proved to
be in the extensive Tannery of Goodhues, Chaplin

much violence in the west wing Of the building, in
the neghborhood Of the engine, from which it prob
ably caught. The active cxertions of the iremen,
with the aid of a powerful pump within the build
ing, arrested the progress of the flames, and the
main building was saved, but not till after very
serious and heavy loss had been incurred by the
removal of large quantities OF hides and leather in
every state of manufacture, dry leather and that
directly from the watts, reekng with liquor, were
dragged through the mud and heaped promiscu.
ously together. We are unable to state the amount
ofinjury sustained in this manner but it was very
considerable. The loss from the ravages of the fire
must have been several hundred dollars. Insured

I Great Wing Meeting in Albany. THE pa
pers of this morning (Aug. 29) state that the
Mass Meeting at Albany on Tuesday, was Mt
great meeting Of the year. The number pres.
ent is variousy estimated at from thirty 10 GE
~ thousand. Mr. Webster made great speech
He spoke two hours and a half, principally up
on The Tariff. The speech will doubtless be
published in full, when we shall lay it before
our readers The Albany Advertiser gives the
following sketch of it:
His appeal to the farmers to support the tar
if-his reason to the farmers for their support
of that tariff, was lorcible and true. He show
ed them that the manufacturing State of Mas
sachusetts consumed 100000 in cotton;
81, OO0, 900 in oats and corn; 81, 800, 900 in
coal; $3,O00000 in wool; $3, 900, 900 in beef
and pork; = 100000 in butter and cheese;
81 SOC, 900 in lead Of Missouri; 100000 in
rice; 81 100000 in turpentine; 100000 in
iron and other articles, making the cOnsump-
ton upwards of 100000 900 of the produce OF
other States, taken, paid for and consumed by
Massachusetts,, which was fully equal to one
half of the entire exports Of the whole coun-
try. Much as he regretted the low price of
the produce Of the farmer, ii could not be rails
ed by the destruction of the present tariff
Support the tarifi-make mouths for the eaters
Of your produce, and your produce will bring
remuneraiIng prices.
OF course Mr. WIS remarks will be written
out in full. He concluded, shortly after four
o'clock, amidst the tumultuous hurrahs of his
auditors.
Mr. Webster was followed by an eloquent
speech from Mr. Berrien OF Georgia. 10 other
parts of the ground speeches were also made
by many other gentlemen, among whom the
Advertiser mentions the names OF Messrs Gran
ger, Culver, Dawson, Wheaton, Hasbrouck of
Ulster, Greeley of New York, Van Wagner
Of Poughkeepse, Montgomery of Pennsylva-
mia. and Morris Franklin of New York.
1t was wonderful affair." Nothing short of
90, 900 majority in New York for Clay and
Frelinghuysen!

RERKsHIRE JUBILEE.

One of the most painful duties of an editor, and
especially of political editor, is the necessity o.
shutting out so many good things from his columns
and we have never felt this more deeply than IN
deciding that Il is impossible for us to give ful
description of this glorious festival, which took
place at Pittsfeld, Mass. the 22d and 23d ult.-
But in the midst of exciting and aborious cleo
toneerng campaign, and overlooking as we are
with press Of important political matter, we can
find no room for matters Of this sort But we look
forward with cheerful hope to the 1des of Novem-
Der, when we shall be at liberty again TO deal out
TO our readers other things than Wing arguments
and rcfutatons of locofoco ones
But to the Jubilee. We only say in general
that the natives of Old Berkshire assembled by
thousands, and that every thing passed off in the
finest possible manner. On the first day. there was
meeting in the Town Hall in the forenoon, where
greetings were interchanged between the resident
and nonresident natives. In the afternoon, the
Rev. Mark Hopkins, the able and distinguished
President of Williams College, preached a sermon
to the assembled thousands, which was listened to
with profound and fearful attention; and the Rev
DR.. Allen of Northampton, late President Of Bow
doin College, delivered a poem of some length,
which was heard with lively interest. The eve
ming was spent in social calls.
The second day was one of engrossing interest
In the morning there was a meeting OF the young
men, who were addressed with great efiectb by Gov.
Briggs. At II o'clock, Jubilee Hill was covered
by thousands upon thousands, who were addressed
by John A. Spencer, Esq, lawyer of great dis
tinction and ability, residing at Utica, N. Y, in an
Grafton of an hour in length, and of the most thrill
ling interest. After other addresses, and recitation
of poems, the multitude assembled at the dinner Ia
bles, where seats provided for 5000 persons.
Gov. Briggs presided, insisted by forty Vice Presi-
dents, one for each table. bountiful cold dinner,
brought from Boston, was served up, accompanied
with speeches, songs, poems, &c, but of which we
can give account.

WING CONVENTION AT WILMINGTON.

The Wings of Wilmington and the vicinity held
good Convention on Thursday the 9th. ult. The
Congregational Church was well filled with the
substantial yeomanry of that town and the neigh.
borhood
The convention was organized by the choice oil
the Hon Sanford Plumb, President Reuben VIM
Austin Brchard, Wan. II. Stark, John N. Squires
Vice Presidents; VIM. e. Rytler, E. s. Plumb,
Secretaries.
| Gov. Ranney addressed the convention in very
able and effective speech. He spoke Of the Tariff
very ably and clearly, but occupied most of the
time on political Abolition and the Liberty party.
His remarks on this last topic, very able and
forcibc. We wish every candid man who votes
that ticket could have heard him. lie showed to
mind at least, very conclusively, that polti-
cal organization was not the most judicious, nor
the most speedy way to do AWAY with slavery.
The convention was next addressed by the Hon.
Geo. T. Davis, of Greenfield, Mass, in an able
speech of one hour Mr. u. spoke of protection,
and reviewed the questions in dispute between the
two parties, and concluded by urging all to lay
aside all minor disputes and be united as Wings in
carrying out their object
Edward Kirkland, Esq, of Brattleboro, in
speech OF little more than hour, commented on
the questions 10 be settled by the ensuing eec ton,
and the results that would ensue TO New England
should MIR Polk be elected aud the party that sup
port him come into power.
He showed conclusively from public documents,
from the speeches and votes of Mr. Polk, thahe had
always been opposed to the protective policy, and
never uttered syllable in its favor till stree his
nomination for the Presidency.
He spoke also in strong terms of the dshonor
that would attach to forever as a nation, should
we engage in war with Mexico TO obtain Texas
nominally, but in reality to extend slavery.
Every thing went off WE'LL and the convention
were under great obligations 10 the choir of singers
who favored the people with good music on the
occasion.

MR.. CLAY ON DUELLING.

When the bill for the suppression Of duelling
was before the Senate few years since, Mr.
Clay expressed himself 10 the following effect,
and voted in favor OF the bill:
"Mr Clay said he had taken no part in the
discussion which had been going on in relation
TO this matter; not, however, from any dispo-
siton on his part TO do all that he could to aid
in the very laudable objects contemplated by
The bill. No man would be happier than him
self to see the whole barbarous syelem forever
eradcated. Ii was well known that, in Ger
tain quarters of this country, public opinion
was averse to duelling, and no man could fly in
the face of that public opinion without having
his reputation sacrificed, while there were 9TH
or portions again which exacted obedience 10
the fatal custom. The man with high sense
OF honor and nice sensibty, when the ques-
ton is whether he shall fight or have the finger
OF scorn pointed at him, is unable to resist, and
few, are found willing to adopt such an alterna-
tive. When public opinion was renovated,
and chastened by reason, religion, and humani-
ty, the practice of dueng will at once be dis
countenanced. II was the office Of legislation
to do all il could to bring about this heahiul
state OF the public mind, and although il might
not altogether effect so desirable result, vet
he had no doubt it would do much toward il,
and with those views he would give his vote
for the bill. Congressional Globe, Cd Ses-
