says that the Wings win make an effortto provide
for the paymento Of the Union Bank bonds, whether
Gen. Qnitman or Gen. Polk is elected. But the
Mssissippan asserts that Gen. Qui,man has de-
clared that he regards the question of payment OF
these bonds as having been settled by the people,
and that the Stale would be disgraced If it were to
retreat from the position it has taken. The Misss.
sippian notices that Union Bank bonds are quoted
in recent Earrings Circular, as selling at 20 per
cent. This the hIssissippian considers as a ruse
to enable the bond holders to get the stock off their
hands. The Mississippian has no idea that the
people will ever change their minds and agree to
pay those bonds.

JoHN VAN BUREN, AT CLEVELAND. - The
Ohio State Journal thus speaks of John Van Blu
ren's appearance, at the Free Soil gathering in
Cleveland:
Besides the large number who formally declined
to attend the convention celebration of ths Ordi-
nance worshippers at Cleveland, and the "thous-
ands upon thousands" who informally stayed
away, the big tent" and John Van Buren, seem
TO have been the leading features Of the affair
John would have made Speech but, as he said,
the notes which he had prepared on the way as
the basis Of his remarks, had become unintsiigi-
bic" rendered SO by The motion Of the boat" and
he was obliged to decline the formal, and try the
extsmpors. He seems, however, TO have skinned
over pretty much the whole ground-glorifed the
proviso, mixed extensively in the Benton and Cal
houn quarrel, given General Cass knock made
fun Of Father Richie, and attacked prospectively
the policy Of Gen. Taylor's administration. The
sketches which the papers contain, leave out the
jokes, which with the Princes speeches are the
cream. In fact it is like the tragedy of the Prince
Of Denmark with the part OF Hamlet omitted.
We must say, in Mr. Van Bnrens favor, that he
appears to have the confidence necessary to take
advantage of the present sprngt tide Of favor upon
which he floats.

Of planters who had succeeded draining or keeping

We are for ihe present much troubled by the Candidates for

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN YoRK-Early on the
morning Of the l7th, FIRE broke out inthe foundry
of Messrs. Worrall & CO., Nos. %, "a and 26 Elm
street, New York, and that portion of their large
establishment was entirely destroyed On the
premises were, among the property, valuable
steam engine and machinery and two double cylin-
derprinting presses, just completed, and ready to be
put in use. The engine was but slightly damaged; ;
the machinery and presses were entirely ruined.
The amount of the loss it isimpossibe to estimate
with correctness, butt will probably reach S y 600
to $4,000 The whole insurance, including that
on the buildings, which also belonged to Msssrs
Worral, is only $500. The new shop of the firm,
fronting on Duane street, and the machine shop in
its rear though in imminent danger from the flames
were not damaged in the least. In day or two
they will be able to resume their business and carry
it on as usual The fire originated it is supposed,
from an explosion which took place last evening
in the cupola which scattered the sparks of boiling
metal in all directions. Some of these probably
lodged in the saw dust, and remaining there undis-
covered, smouldered during the night, until they
finally broke out into fame

DEATH OF H. E. VAN WINKLE.-This gentle
man died at Jackson, Miss, few days ago from
an attack of apoplexy. The Mississippian thus
speaks Of him:
He was highly respected by the community,
and stood among the first members of the bar Some
years ago, he conducted the Natchez Courier, and
more recently the Southron. Though strong par
tisan, we believe that be always maintained as an
editor, an unblemished reputation. His death was
owing to an attack of apopexy-his illness was
BRIEF and his departure hence to another world is
an event which but few months ago we could not
have contemplated. We mingle our sorrows with
his bereaved family and numerous friends and con-
fdently hope that though lost to u.s. he is ina bet
ter land"

GEN, TAYLoR's CHARITIEs.-The political press
finds out very curious theme upon which to exer-
else its ingenuity, in exciting OF depreciatng the
idols Of party. The President not long since, re-
fused subscription in aid Of the building Of a
Methodist Church, at Georgetown. This simple
fact has been published, and is the theme Of dis
arrangement by democratic presses and eulogy by
the wings. BY one side it is limited as slight to
very respectable society of Christians and proof
Of his excessive love Of money, and by Others as
proof Of Gen. Taylor's remarkable sagacity and
acute knowledge of the duties of hi3 station. It
proves neither the enc the other and the whole
dispute is unfortunate, the blame belonging chiefly
othOse who were pflieious as to bring the matter
before the public at ALL Gen. Taylor has the sole
right to regulate and select his own charities, and
the only sufficient knowledge of what he can afford
to do in justice to his family and proportion to his
means. Il is important, too, that in the outset Of
his career he should have it distinctly understood
that there is no claim upon him to contribute 10
these objects on the ground Of his official character.
The salary attached 70 the office of President
was not settled with any view that a part of it
should be given away observation-disclosures It is inds-
pensable to the quiet Of the President and the right
administration Of his office, that he should be free
from all the embaFrassments and vexations Of being
considered fountain for the diffusion of public
charity. It was very correct sentiment of Gen.
Taylor, that he not made president for the pur-
pose Of building churches, though nobody, we sup
pose, ever put in the claim in that FORM. 1t is
equally true that it is no part Of his duty to help
build churches because he was elected President.
The story goes on to say, that the solicitation was
pursued by the applicants, to give them money, on
the ground that Mr. Jefferson had, when President,
contributed largely to a similar purpose. The
General retorted with some shrewdness, that Mr..
Jefferson died insovent; fact-although it cannot
be assumed truly that his insolvency was caused or
accelerated by the extent of his contribution to the
building Of churches.
