By a slip from the Office Of the Maine Dem

o'clock on Wednesday morning last, in the
stable sconnected with Tufts Hotel, spreading
rapidly to the houses contiguous on Common

other dwelling-houses. Saco Water Power

were rented to Capt.-Thomas p Tufts as a
public house, From the stable one horse was
saved and one or more persisted. Beside this
scarcely anything was saved. The house was
on fire by the time the inmates were alarmed.
Most Of the furniture was saved. Capt. T. has
$1,000 insurance on furniture and stock in the
stable. House occupied by J. Woodsum, on
Common st., adjoining the stable and also the
house adjoining, occupied by VIM. Ltilefeld

The Wing Party.

1t may be said, that all human beings are,
more or less, the creatures of circumstances
subject to the fluctuations and alterations of
ife.A All are not, however. affected in like
manner. While some, from being thrown
upon their own resources in early life, strike
boldly out, and by determined resolution and
strong wills, apparently overcome the vicissi-
tudes of life and thus establish an individuality
Tor themselves, others, and by no means a
small portion Of the community are entirely
dependent upon circumstances for their every
movement. Corresponding to this latter class,
Il the character of that body of men in our
country known as the whig party. We speak
Pohtcaily, OF course, and for the truth of our
assertion' we refer to the history Of the party.
Inc wings, knowing full we'll that they are
IN the minority in the country, are necessarily
creatures OF circumstance. They can only
hope 10 succeed by some unucky act of their
opponents, or when disaffection or dissens;ons
temporarily exist in their ranks. Ever since
the party lines were distinctly drawn between
Federaiists-the latter body of men, or their
successors, under different names, modernly
known as whigs-have only attained to power
by accident. The election of John Quincy
Adams to the Presidency, if not the result of a
direct bargain, was accidental. Notwithstand-
ing the division in the Republican ranks, Gen
Jackson received the largest number of electo-
raj votes-while for the Vice Presidency, on
which there was no split, Calhoun, the Repub-
ican candidate as elected by 1872 electoral
votes to rs against. The election of President
devolving upon the House, was accomplished
by the Union Of Clay's forces with Adams, by
which Gen. Jackson, who had received the
highest number of electoral votes by the peo-
pie, was defrauded of an election. Clay, it
will be recollected, was rewarded by the Secre-
taryship Of State, under the new administra-
ton. 3, E ~

Massachusetts, Liquor Law.

On Wednesday last, Governor Boutwell, re-
turned the so-called Liquor Bill to the Senate,
with his objections to signing it. His princi-
pal objection was the manner of iascer,aining
the popular will on it, viz: the open ballot
He was of opinion that the use of the open
ballot would divest the decision of the people

the law be decisively sustained by the secret

as political basis on which to have fair trial.

FIRE. A fire in Charlestown, Mass, on
Saturday morning, destroyed wooden build

to ship Bell Rock, 800 tons, and destroyed
every thing above decks. The crews just es-

was thrown into the dock, and taken up insen-
sible. Peter Murphy, mason, was SO badly in

Pendleton was on board at the time of the fire,
and was obliged to escape through one of the
cabin windows.

sP We think there is no reasonable doubt,
from information we have received, that
the disastrous fire which occurred in our city
last week, was caused by placing wood ashes
in barrels Indeed, we learn that there were
too barrels kept in the wood house for this
purpose. And il is said Ly those whose bust
ness it is to collect ashes for making soap. &c /,
that SEVEN EIGHTHs of the whole quantity
bought at private dwellings in this city, is Kept
in this ,oay!
The excuse generally given for this repre-
hensible practice is, that they are "never put
into the barrels or boxes shile there is fire IN
them" This. however-as all ought to know
lis by no means security against fire !; for
wood ashes. in any considerable quantity, will
generate fire in dampt state of the atmosphere,
even though known to be entirely free from it
when placed in such situation, Is it not sur
prising then, when we take into consideration
the above facts, that there are so feD ires in
our cityi And is it not matter requiring
some wholesome regulation on the part Of our
