the subject of much speculation among our citi

as III Governors will is yet a sealed document. we

Judge Oldham, Maj. Borland, Judge Cross, and
Judge Sebastian, have all been spoken of. The
editor OF the Democrat says that His Excelcncy
is now absent from the Seat Of Government but
II is said that the contingency has been anticipated
and that the selection has fallen upon one whose

AWFUL CONGREGATION in ALBANY.

AWFUL CONFEDERATION IN ALBANY.
Albany has been the scene Of an awful con-
hagration-the largest which has afflicted any
part OF America for several years. One.eighth
OF the city, and this in the very heart of its bust
ness, lies in ruins. Many have of course lost all
their worldly possessions, and some Insurance
Companies must be ruined. The total loss is es-
tmated at Two Millions of Dollars.

In South Broadway the Eagle tavern, United

The insurance is also large, but it IS doubted
whether all can be made available To the
providential change of the wind from the South
to the North, followed soon after by drenching

widespread ruin alone be ascribed.

u The Boston Atlas recently contained peevish
and queruous article, complaining of The course of the
New York Tribune, in not supporting Gen. Taylor, and
concluding as follows:
We have hopes that the Tribune and IFS sympathzers
together with Mr. Clay, will yet into the support of
Gen. Taylor, who is worthy a and as good a
Wing as either OF them"
On this passage the Tribune makes the following IN ST
comment
"The Whgism of Mr.. Clay of the Editor of the Tr-
bune is not now in point; inclined to dispute
that of Gen. Taylor. The term 'Whig' is tolerably
comprehensive, and daily becoming more So There
are devotees Of Free Trade, Texas Annexation the
Mexican War, Our country, right or wrong and all
manner of things, who claim TO be good deal better
Wings than we We shall not handy words with
Them"
That's it. The term "whg" has come to mean any
thing nothing principles just as the one who uses
hpleases. So that, when Gen Taylor said he was "a
whg, but not an ultra whg," knewju as much, and
no more, about his principles, fhe had said nothing
And, when Gov. Lincoln abored through SO many NOR
tai columns to prove that the General was "a whig, I"
we could not but think that the time would have been far
more probably spent in showing in what his whggery
INSISTED.

THE RUNAWAY NEGROES.

We copy from the Lexington Atlas of Aug.
1lth the following particulars concerning the es.
cape and capture OF the negroes who recently
escaped from that neighborhood
We saw and conversed with Dr. B. F. Barkley
OF Harrison, yesterday morning, who had Just
arrived, bearing under his charge DOYLE alias
Kelly, alias Smith, alias Rankin, who was ap.
pretended under the charge of aiding the ne :
groes to escape from the neighborhood. Dr. B.
says that the first intimation the people of lar
rison had of the stampede, two negro men be-.
longing to M. T. Scott and B. Gratz, Esqs, of
this city, came into Claysville, Harrison county
on Monday morning, in a state of starvation, and
begged to be brought back
They reported between forty and seventy ne.
groes to be in the neighborhood, concealed in the
woods. Many persons being present in the viii
age for the purpose OF attending to the election,
steps were Immediately taken to arrest them
DR.. Barley arrested, when alone, boy belong
ing to II. T. Duncan, and one to Lawson & Erd-
man. of this county, both being armed with
volving pistols
On Monday evening, about o'clock, the com
pany raised in Claysvile overlook the negroes
on the Germantown road, and had an engage
ment with them, in which Charles W. Fowler, a
very respectable young man OF Harrison, was
MORALLY wounded.
The whites, being only ten strong, were COM
PEELED to retreat. In few minutes the whites
were reinforced by ten others, when another en-
gagement ensued, in which Joseph Duncan was
wounded in the mouth. Duncan's horse was
also shot under him and fell, throwing him in the
midst Of the negroes but by the good use OF his
revolver, he succeeded in fighting his way
through them. The whites were now compelled
to retreat second time. The negroes in the
meanwhile became scattered through the woods
and bushes.
AT 10 o'clock Monday night the whites were
reinforced by three or four hundred recruits
The rest of the night and Tuesday was spent IN
securing the woods up and down Licking river,
and its tributaries. A party also pushed on to
the Ohio, to have Fosters Landing, Dover, and
other places along the river guarded. On Tues
day the white man was arrested. The whites
were with great difficulty restrained from hang
ing the prisoner on the spot But at the earnest
solicitation OF Gen. Desha he was spared, He
was then carried to Claysville before three mag
istrates, tried and committed.
DR.. b. says the most intense excitement pre-
vailed through the country, several thousand
men securing the country between Licking and
the Ohio rivers. aHlsfiM W.
DR.. b. and some others secretly removed Doyle
from the joil OF Cynthiana at IL O'Clock on We'd
nesday night, and arrived in this city early yes
terday morning, and lodged him in Jail. DOYLE
was brought here for fear the excited populace
would pull down the Jail Of Cynthiana and hang
him. Up to Wednesday night, thirty-three ne.
groes had been arrested and one killed!

JOHN JAY ON ALLEGIANCE TO Parry
AT time of high political excitement, Mr.. jay
and others opposed and defeated the election of
regularly nominated candidate oftheir own par
ty. For this act of rebellion and treason they
were assailed by the party press. Mr.. Jay pub
lished vIndicaton of this breach OF party disc.
pline, and the following remarks from his pen
may not be inapplicable at the present day:
''We approve of the customary mode OF nomi-
mating candidates, and have uniformly concurred
III it; that concurrence certainly involved our
tacit consent to be bound by the nominations
which should be so made. But is is equally cer-
tain that such consent did, does and ever will rest
on the condition, trust and confidence, that such
nominations only be made as we could or can sup
port without transgresslng the obligations we are
under to preserve our characters and our minds
free from humiliation and reproach.

The meeting, this evening, to hear the report of the
Delegates TO the Buffalo Convention, and to ratfy the
nominations will be one of the most important meetings
of the season. We trust that the Free Democracy

the leetng will afford favorable opportunity for those

done it. The character of Worcester for devotion TO
