Candidate for Congress.

We received the other day, eomnunl.
cation from a gentleman IN Richmond
County, requesting US to announce him as
a Candidate for Congress. THIS we must
respectfully decline, not from any unfrlead
ly feeling to the individual 10 question as
We are unacquainied with him, but from
the fact, that as several gentlemen are
spoken OF We consider /, pcrmatuie. =
" here theie are a many persons spoken
Of for The same Office, We see no safe way
of recouciIiug the cor FLEEING claims Of the
different individuals but by calling Con.
veniion, fairly constituted, and then all uni.
liog on the nominee. We are aware thai
with some, Conventions are M bad odpf-
well, fla better plan car be suggested We
vii! adopt it with our whole heart but Ia
have Two OF more Candidates Of the same
party running Tor The same Office we con
siier suicidal and against the best interest.
Of our party and our principles. To ia
vorsuch course would be recfeant to ou

the four-stoy house at the corner OF North street,
and the adJoinlng one, were consumed West
side--Every building on this side, with the excep-
ton at Mr. ID. Calls, was destrOyed-being the
only house in the whole block saved. The block
bounded by DruIy lane and Smyth street was
trely destroyed, and several houses on the west
side OF Smyh street much injured Although,
continues the New BruasOtcksr, the destruction of
stroyed were not very valuable, being all built of
wood, and generally tenanted by the humber
classes, who resided IN this section of the city.
The loss. regret to say, will be severely telt by
them, who thus turned out of doors at this un-
favorable season aud the number ut these is very
large, being estimated at from two to three thsu-
sand persons who have beea left without a shelter
From what we can !. arm, the insurance compares

aud the loss 10 divided among so many that il will
not be severely felt We learn that this fire is sup

having originated in a building where no fire. was
