Agreeaby 10 previous arrangement, the Wing
Convention assemblies ~ the city Of Richmond

Bots. Esq, as their candidate 10 represent this
District in the next Congress OF The United States.
The fact that Mir. Bolts has been defeated twice
in The two recent elections which have taken place,
makes The Democrats OF this District very san
euine OF success in the apr oachins canvass
When we look back al the tremendous majority
which James A. Scddon, Esq, obtained over
him two years ago, il is we'll calculated 10 in
spire rs with firm belief that we shall obtain, if
not so large majority, atleast an easy victory
But il is mol 10 be forgotten that combination o!
circumstances was b. ought 10 bear upon hat elec-
ton which operated most powerfully against the
success Of Mr. Bots, 10 which, in my humble
opinion, may be ascribed, in Il measure, The hea
w majority cast against him. Lei il no, b. for
suuen that in the Presidential election, which
preceded The Congressional only few months
Mr. Clay's majority in the District, if mistake
not, over Mr.. Polk, was nearly two hundred and
fiy, which clearly demonstrates that Mr.. Bous
ran a long way behind Ihs strength Of his party.
This fact, believe, is conceded by both Wings
and Democrats.
Now, The question which presents itself for our
consideration Is, do The same preludicts operate
against Mr.. Bots now, that did two years ago 7
Does The same uncompro missing hostility 10 Mr..
Bolts exist now that was manifested then Have
We not strong reasons Tor supposing that the
Wings have been lahoring necessarily ever since

their pany2 This, think, admits Of no doubt,
bui how far their laburs have been crowned with
success, the result will tell; still, the fact that Mr..
Bolls has been re.nomina,ed IN The face Of two
defeats, is, think pr;ma faeic evidence that they
al eas, imagine hat they have SCI their house in
order. In a crisis like This, il behooves every
true Democrat to grid on his armor and, sword in

AWFUL CONFEDERATION !!
TOWANDA IN RUINS!

One OF the most awful and destructive
IConAagratOns occurred in our Borough TO-.
day that ever visited town Of equal eX'@nI
and population. More than 90 buildings
are l1d waste, IN the flirest and most hu-i'
pees 2orllous Of The town, The fire origi,
naIed in The roof Of building occupied as d
store by n. n. Beus, and in a vCrg few
moments communicated with the c0nligu,
nus buildings on either side, The large
lhree story store, owned aud occupied BY
he Messrs. Mon'aynes' the Claremou
House, and adjacent buildings, and the
Court House, were SOON CnvelOped in one
i,heel Of flame. In less than two hours
ooIe than twenty buildings were consumed
10y lhe insalate element.
Every building on The south side of the
public square, and east side Of Maln stree
,s far down as Mr.. G., ArnoUl's buick house
was destroyed, The beautiful brick block
oc the west side OF Main street was several
Hines on FIRE, but Ultimately saved through
the aImosI superbuman execlion Of our chi
@cns. The bridge was al one time con'd-
Ierei IN the most imminent danger, the root
being On fire in several pIaces.
The wind blew from the northwest,
which threw the force of the blaze partly
Towards the river, and was a fortunate cir
cums,aDce, for bad the fire crossed Mair
street, Heaven only knows where it could
have been stopped.
We will not pretend to estimate with ac
curacy the loss, but it canno, be less Than
60 or 10000 collars.
More than twenty-five families hsgc, BY
his caIamjiy, been Ie(, houeeIess, and many
have lost all they possessed,
