dent expression of your sentiments, and
the laudable motives that induced you to

Government has kept me so exceedingly
busy Of late doing nothing, that | have
not had time to writo you as promptly as
| could have desired, nor can | as expli.
citily, when do sit down to the task, as
the importance Of the subject demands.
Your first question: shall answer them
all categorically-is one that involves u
%favorito system Of exchange, which would
be indicate for me in my present posi-.
ton, to enlarge upon, but | will say in
passing, that it is far better to have a
stone in tho meal bag than one in the
bladder. To your second question, l
answer, | am in favor of mules having
colts, provided it suits the mules, and
don't interfere with tho vested rights of
the people Your third question invol.
YES a poin; upon which have many doubts
crossing the melon with the pumpkin
certainly enlarges tho melon, but it will
require a large share of attention of phi.
losophers to show it don't iuin the nut

With high respect, | remain,
Your most obedient servant,

Dear Sir-As you are a candidate for
the Presidency, so constituted by the
people. you are, therefore, open to all
sorts of impertinent questions. Your
privacy is to be invaded and you are to
suffer yourself to be daily examined, as
if you were a simple witness in the hands
OF an infinite number of sharp lawyers.
| am one OF the people, and being an ex-
ceedingly small specimen, | have made it
a practice for years past, for the sake of
notoriety, 10 endcavoi to fasten myself on
the tail of some great man, whohappened,
for the time, to be in the ascendancy.
am opposed to your elevation to of.
hce, and would not vote for you we're you,
in the language Of a late Locofoco Sen.
ator IN this State, pure enough to sit on
the right hand of the Throne Of Heaven
Yet would be exceedingly delighted il
you would answer the questions | put to
you, in this letter, not only for the purpose
of having them published against you.
if they can be so used, in case you are d
candidate, bat, also, for the sake of get.
ting my name before the people as hav.
ing done something to assist in misrepre-
senting your real sentiments. If | &C.
complish this, and you are defeated, | am
sure of some small Office as u re ward for
my ingenious services.
| wish to know, firstly, whether you
arc in favor Of putting corn in both ends

or do you believe in the modern system
invented by Bob Walker, who used II
large stone in one end to balance the
grain in the other2 Secondly, are you
in favor Of mules having coltsl Thirdly,
are you in favor Of crossing the nutmeg

A prompt and definite answer to these
questions will oblige, your fcllow.citizen,

@The newspapers are publishing the
%subjoined accounto of one ofthose mistakes
which sometimes occur in carrying into
effect the penalty of death:
The WRoNe MAN HUNG.-A young
printer named Boyington, who served his
time in the New Haven Palladium was
hung a few years since in Alabama, up
on a charge of having murdered a COM
panion, with whom he was travelling
He protested his innocence to the last;
but without avail. Recently the landlord
in whose house the murder was commit
ted, confessed the crime on his death bed!
B%oyington was a young man of fine tai
ents and preposseSSing appearance, whose
guilt was deemed conclusive only from
the fact that he was the last person seen
with the murdered man.-Al6any Jour.

TWENTY HorsEs DEsTRoYEp.-One Of the most
awful and destructive conGagrations occurred in
Towanda, Bradford county, on the l2th inst,
that ever visited town OF equal extent and pop
nlstion. More than twenty buildings are laid
waste, IN the fairest and most business portions
Of the town. The hre orig mated in the roof of a
building occupied as . store by N. N Belts, and
in very few moments communicated with the
contiguous buildings on either side The large
three story store owned and occupied by the
Messrs. Montaynes'--th Claremont House and
adjacent buildngs. and the Court House. were
soon snvelop-d in one sheet Of flames In less
than two hours more than twenty buildings were
consumed by the insatiate element.
Every building on the south side Of the public
square, and east side Of Main street as far down
a. N. c. ArLout's 3rick house, was destroyed.
The beautiful Brick Block on the west side Of
Main street was several times on hre, but ulti-
mately saved through the almost snperhuman
exsrtion OF our citizens. The Bridge was at one
time considered in the most imminent danger,
the roof bsing on FIRE in several places.
The wind blew from the Northwest, which
threw the force Of the blaze partly toward the
river, and was q fortunate circumstance, for had
the fire crossed Main street, Heaven only knows
where il could have stopped,
We will not pretend to estimate the loss but
il cannot be less than 90 or $50 900.
More than twenty. Ave families have by this
calamity, been ieft honseless, ami many have
lost All thew possessed
We attach list Of the sufferers, without pre-
tending to place any estimate upon the amount
