IT The New York Tribune has come out in decided
opposition to the holding of any future National Conven>
ton for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency
The ground of opposition is that it is in the power of
few men to control the action of such Conventions and

FIRE.-We learn from the N. Y Advertis-

son, N. J. on the 10th inst. 1t broke GU,
abont midnight, nearly in the rear Of the Pho
nix Buildings, in Main street, which being oi
brick resisted the flames and remained compar.
atively uninjured.
The frame buildings, which occupy Main
street fiom Glcdhil's new buildings to the COZ.
ner below, six in number, were totally destroy.
ed, and two others Oh Broadway.
All these buildings were occupied jointly as
stores and residences. Most Of the contents OF
the stores were saved. The part Of the town
destroyed was the locality for tho principal
business of the place, although the buildings
were old and of themselves Of little value. As
far as we can ascertain, the parties were gen.
orally insured. They viii, however, suffer
considerable Inconvenience for some time.

The Human Mind, that lofty thing,
The palace and the throne,

Nor in his weakness own
That mystery and marble bind
