regard TO the progress of our glorious coun.

be scarcely less wonderful than il is to reflect
on what our country is now, compared with
what it was twenty years ago.
"TheFe is but little doubt that the Uni.

No Tpar yet.-The latest dates from the
South, bring US no definite intelligence of war
yet. Our troops are ordered from almost eve
ry part OF the Union, and are concentrating on
the Western frontier Of Texas. IT'S said that
10000 Mexicans were marching to the bor-
ders of Texas, but this is only, so far as we can
gather. mere rumor. The prompt ano energet-
ic steps taken by Mr.. Polk and Cabinet, will,
should this rumour prove true, enable US to
meet our Dragging neighbours with force
amply sufficient to repel any attempt they may
think proper to make on our young sister Texas.

The Tariff.

Among the questions OF national internal
policy which will claim the attention of the
29th Congress. to convene at Washing
ton in December next, there is none, in our
estimation, of more importance-none which
will create deeper interest, or be more like
ly to call forth the talents and the energies of
that august bod y-than the adjustment of the
Tariff, In country like ours, where the ter
ritoTy Is so extensive, the pursuits of the citl-
zens so diver sifed A.; where the productions of
the soil are so varied ,and where, consequently,
the interests of different sections are, at least
apparently, so dissinilar, The laying of taxes,
for the Tariff is nothing else, SO as to make
them bear equally on all classes Of the peo-
pie, and all sections Of the Union, is, perhaps,
the most delicate, as wei lasTthe most difficult

Friday, August 20. IsA5.
FIRE.

On Monday night last, at about hall past
10 o'clock, our citizens were aroused oy
the alarm of fire. 1t seems that an old
building occupied as teu-pin alley last
winter. had been used by Messrs. Fergu-
son g. Haynes, as carpenters work shop,
and we learn that there was considerable
quantity of shavings and other combustible
matter strewn over the floor on the even
ing of the fire. 1t was at this point that
the fire was first discovered. The building
itself was old and as dry as finder. Before
the first cry of fire was given. the Iurid
flames were bursting from the roof. On
reaching the scene of the fire, we found
that the flames had communicated with a
two story brick building, ON Front Street,
owned and occupied by A. V. W. Hew-
lett. We then thought the destruction of
the Southern portion of that square inevi-
table. The buildings are all old and thick
ly clustered together. Fortunately the
night was very calm, and the shingled
roofs damp, else the destruction of proper
ty would have been considerable. The
fire department., although we thong ht some
what tardy in getting under way, worked
hard and efficiently. The engine compa-
MES undoubtedly saved a large amount OF
property by their energies. From Mr..
Hewlett's building, the flames next seized
upon brick building, owned by Joseph
A. Sintas. Here the fire ragged with con-
siderable fury for some time, destroying
the whole Of the wood work OF the build
ing. 1t was at this point, however, check
ed by the engines. The whole amount OF
property destroyed, we learn, IS about six
thousand dollars. Mr.. SIntas, we learn,
was insured for 81. 900, which will fully
cover his loss. Ferguson & Haynes lost
their tools and materials, estimated at $500.
Mr.. Hewlett lost large portion of his fur
niture, together with the building. We
learn that he was insured for 50 900, which
would make his loss about $1,000.
When we take into consideration the
point where the fire caught, surrounded
on nearly all sides by wooden buildings. it
is matter of surprise that the destruction
of property was so small.
1t is generally believed that the fire of
Monday night was the work of an incen-
diary. Suspicion, however, has not yet
rested on any one.
During the fire, ladder resting against
one of the burning buildings. with three OF
four men standing on it, broke, precipita-
ting them to the pavement. MIR. Daniel
W. Wood who was uppermost, was the
only person seriously injured. He is badly
bruised, but we learn that he is getting
better.

ELECTIONS.

1ennesssec.-The glorious triumph Of De-
mocracy in this State, is placed beyond a
doubt, by the returns which we have received
since our last. Brown, Democrat, is elected
Governor by about 1000 majority. We have
a majority in both branches of the Legislature.
The delegation in the next Congress will not
be changed. that is, six democrats and FIVE
wings. This triumph in Tennessee is the
more pleasing, as it shows to the people of
both parties throughout the Union, that Mr..
Folks course since his elevation to the Presi-
dental Chair, has been approved of by his
own State. It secures Democratic Senator
in the place Of Foster, the late whig candidate
for Governor.
.alabuma.-Martin, Independent Democrat,
is elected over Terry, the regular candidate of
the partp, by majority Of some or 1000.
The delegation to Congress stands, Demo.
Gratis, Wing.
Rentucky.-We copy the following letter
from the Union" of the 2lst instant:
Extract Of letter TO the Editor, dated
August Is, ls45.
Our election is over; and although we may
have carried few of the congressional districts,
the result foreshadows the speedy overthrow
of whigery-even in Kentucky. In the last
August election, Owsley's majority over But
Ter was 4, 800 votes. Compare the congress
sional poll this August, and the wing MAORI
ty does not quite reach three MousanG-a dem
ocratic gain Of $500 votes. Again: we have
gained smartly in both branches of the Legis-
lature; yet the wings here affect to claim a
victory! ! cannot doubt, however, that the
Intelligent portion of them see the handwriting
on the wall. 1t sh uId be borne in mind, tina,
the districts were avowedIy constructed to
leave US but one district-Boyd's.
;. Caldwell, who has covered himself with
honor, has reduced majority of 500 to rs
and that, too, against man Of decided talents
backed by great wealth. Stone has reduced
majority Of 1850 to go; and but for the
prevalence of powerful local feeling in the
county (Hardln) of his competitor, he would
have been reelected.
Thus much for the election in kentucky

republic, surrounded by Democratic Cabi-
net. Both branches Of the next Congress will
be Democratic. Shall we not then have the
present plundering Tariff either repealed or
modified, during the next session of Congress!
We answer; we shall and must. But in the
meantime, as it is vital question with US Of
the South, We would invoke our brethren of
the Democratic press to urge the matter in
season, and out Of season, between this and
the meeting of Congress. We call upon them,
and every intelligent Democrat, to arouse the
people on this all.important question. Let
one unbroken, universal call be made upon the
national Legislature for justice. and let this
call not cease nor give over until the Tariff Of
'42 is swept from our statue books. Now is
the time or never, when this question can be
adjusted eqntably. re puplican Presi-
dent, republican, Cabinet, and a republican
Congress. our auguries are bright and cheer
ing, but still we are of opinion that policy and
duty alike, call loudly upon the Democratic
press, to urge with its whole heart and soul,
this aII-important measure, (the reduction Of
the Tarif.) upon the representatives of the
people. The South has suffered long and pa
tently. The time is now come when justice
will be done her. Let her leading men be
only true to her, and the blighting incubus
which the protective system now imposes up
on her, can and will be removed. We shall
touch op this subject again.

From the New Orleans papers of the
18th inst we see that the old veteran.
Gen'l Gaines, has made requisilion on
the Governor of Louisiana. for upwards OF
two thousand men for the national service.
The call has been promptly responded to
by Gov. Moulon, and ere this, the troops,
consisting of two regiments ofmuskeleers,
two of rihemen, and two companies of ar
iillery, are on their way to join Gen. Tay-
lor on our Southwestern frontier. Gen'l
Gaines was induced to make the requisi-
ton from authentic information which he
had received. of 10000 Mexicans being
within eight days march Of Gen. TavIor's
post. Speaking of the spirit which ami

that he did every thing in his power to

murder of Gibbons. He had, we learn,
