FIRE.-On Monday morning, soon after mid
night, the cry of tiru was again heard. 1t proccc-
ded from the inmates and neighbors of a Grocery
on Wisconsin street, occupied by Mr.. Moran
1t was caused by candle left burning upon the
table, below, while the children were asleep in the
chamber and the owner of the building was in
another house. 1t appears that the candle fell
over against the window casing which set that on
FIRE, and then crept through the latMng and com
nenced on the siding, which it followed up until
il reached the roof and set it all pretty well ago
ing. 1t looked, at one time, as though there was
no help for it-but the engines were soon brought
TO play upon it, and it was extinguiShed in jtfy
and this without moving anything out of the bull
ding.

FREE DEMOCRATS.

Look well to your tickcts-you have candidates
who in all the relations Of life are unspottcd, and
have been true to the principles of your party, and
will honor the party which elects them. Let then
no private spleen operate upon your mind for
moment to cause you to name from tho
ticket. Remember it is not the man that YOU de-
feat, if they are defeated but the representation
Of the free soil prinCiples and remember, that if
you suffer bunker whig or a bunker democrat
to succeed in one place, you give him an ncrcas-
ed opportunity to weld an influence for two years
against you aud your dearly cherished principles
Vote then for the principle, and vote for the NOM
inces because they represent the principle. A
straight and full vote, remember, will give us 500
majority over the Wings and 700 majority over the
HunkcrS and slavery.
Look at the vote of the three parties or an I'M
disputed Office, Coroner in 1850:
A Reitbrook Free Soil, 500
G. w. Jackson, Wing, $40
+. Plate, bunker, lI3
These majorities can be increased if we arc but
active. Shall it not be done
o. We learn that Mr.. Bond the bunker nom
ncc for tho Assembly, has been around among
some of the business men, endcavoring to prcu-
dice them against Mr.. Sholcs on the score of his
not being so much of a friend to the interests of
the city as himself.
This never will do, Josiah, Mr.. Sholes has not
as much property in the city as YOU have, but all
he has, is here, and if he does not think as much
of property you do he is anxious to take fair
care of what little he has 1t is not fair TO say
untrue things of man-if it is election time
| Besides, it don't look we'll for Mr.. Bond who
was nominated almost exclusively because he OPP
poses Durkee who is resident of Kcnosha, and
goes for Wells, resident of Milwaukee, and indi-
rcctly for Durand, resident of Racine, to claim
all the love there is abroad for the interests of our
city. Durkec is opposed at Racine almost entire
" because he looks out for the interest of Kenosha
as we'll as Racine and yet Mr.. Bond, who labors
with the politicians of Racine and Milwaukee to
break down Durkee, wants to go to Madison as
the man to represent peculiarly the interests of this
place.

DANIEL WEBSTER is DEAD.

This distinguished Statesman is no more. He
died at his residence in Marshield Mass after n
few days illness, on Sunday morning about three
o'clock. Thus, one after another, drop away the
great intellccts of the nation. Clay and Webster
ran n career Of fame and extended services in the
nation together and together have they followed
in the "slecp that knows no waking" The life
or Mr. Webster has been long and eventtu one.
We have no time now to review it, even if we
considered it fitting opportunity. At another
slime we may glance at his career, and speak of his
yorics and his shame. Posterity and history will
do him the justice which his compecrs have not
the ability or disposition to mctc out.

To- There can be no question that in this dis
trict the contest for Congress is between Durkec
and Wells. Probably no sensible person has any
expectation that Mr.. Durand can by any possible
chance be successful. Why then, in view of this
manifest fact should wings indirectly help to elect
Wells by voting for Durand. There arc wings
we know, who from local and personal causes, pre-
fer Wells to Durkec, and they arc the ones who
IRE laboring to get the rank and file of the wing
party to go for Durand on the assumption that he
can be elected, for no other reason than 10 insure
Wells success Now, of course, if Durkee and
Durand occupied radically different ground on the
score of principle, VIC should neither ask or ex-
pcct the friends of Durand to help Durkec, for we
believe in every man voting to sustain his own
principles, even if he stands alone. But Durand
says himself, he does not occupy position differ
ent from that occupied by Durkcc, so there is no
contest whatever of principle between them. Then
the question before the wings is simply between
Durkcc who does represent them according to
Durand, and Wells who is conceded to be deadly
hostile to them in all respect; and we think of
no good reason for their helping Wells at the ex-
pense of Durkee, by voting for Durand. AS we
said, there is good reason why such wings as
from local and personal considerations, prefer
Wells to Durkec, urging the rank and file of the
wings to go for Durand, while they mean them
selves TO so for Wells, but we do hope that every
whig in the district who does not prefer Wells,
will recollcct that vote for Durand is half a vote
for Wells, and that he is not only throwing away
his vote so far his candidate is concerned, but
he is throwing it, indirectly, for man who does
not represent him, in opposition to one who does
e. he editor of the kenosha Democrat gives
his readers credit for very limited degree of in
telhgence when he asserts that the slave trade has
beeniabolShed in the district of Columbia and that
slavery is prohibited from going into Utah or New
Mexico. The facts onboth points are these no law
has ever been passed aboshing the slave trade in the
district of Columbia; law has ever been passed
by Congress, prohibiting slavery in Utah or New
Mexico the slave trade is now carried on in the
district of Columbia-slaveS are now held in both
Utah and New Mexico as appears by the census.
These are the facts and they need no comment
