We aresorry that the editor of the Athens
Post did not have sufficient penetration to
discover the object of Mr.. Richie's speech.
What was intended rs burlesque he takes
in good earnest, and subjects it to severe
crtlcism.- Cleveland Banner.
OIL "lntended us burlesque," was it? OF
course. And all those extravagant articles
about Cleveland, which have appeared in the
Banner from time to time, were 'ntended as
burlesquesw Certainly! And the "Town Or
dinanee!-that was u buriesque, too! To
be sure. And the extended account in the
last Banner about the "sharp practice" of
the she-lnale conjuror, was another "bur-
lesque!" Unquestionably. But then, what
does our neighbor mean by so sporting with
the interests aud holding up his town to the
laughter and ridicule of the whole country?
Fie, Colonel! il is foul bird that defles its
own nest. "Burlesque," indeed! Really our
neigbbor isgrowing iacetious, if not little
wormy.

is unquestonSby the weakest man Inspiring

that il had its origin in an attack of the mca.

from the accompanying certificate of DR..

the buildings on the corner of Union and
College streets, occupied by X. 5. Holns o.
Co., wholesale and retail dealers in Boots and
Shoes, and John ID. james & Co., MS the
Bank Of Commerce." The Firemen were
on hand with their usual promptness, but
owing TO the scarcity OF water, rs we are in
formed, were prevented from doing as much
execution as usual. The entire buildings
were consumed, extending about l 10 feet on
Union street, and 100 feel on College. The
entire stock of Hollins g. Co., except the re-
tail stock on the first floor, was consumed
The books, papers, &C.. were all saved. The
stock was insured for $4,000 in the Fremen's
office, which will fall short about S250O COW

owned by DIR. A. l.. p. Green, was insured Tor
$500, in the same office, which will cover

WHY MR. fILtsuORE IS POPULAR.

The reason wins sir Fillmore has SO strong
hold upon the affections and confidence Of
the CONSERVATIVES elements o. The country, j.
undoubtedly to be found ia The fact, thai he
has followed The ii!ustriuus example Of Clay
and Webster, an, ever proved himselfto be
n national man. The Worcester 4Egis. an
old fashioned Wing journal in Nassarhn-
sets, which declines to commit itself yet to
any candidates, thinks the Influences which
produced Mr.. FiiImore's nomination were va.
rious and speaks OF them MS follows:
Ii is worthy of remark that the Hdvocates
and supporters Of Mr.. Fillmore in The States
which were but few years since scenes Of SCI
cession and disunion conventions, have always
been the opponents of secession and .sisHnion
--the journals that have held up his name
have ever teemed with PATRIOTIC Union ex-
pressions, and the politicians, who have
stumped III his name, have invariably been
the defenders Of our national integrity against
the assaults of FIRE caters and Southern
rights men. The truth Is, though il is uns
palatable enough 10 the old Fres.soil com.

lie has been known rs public man

zeal action has never been indefinite but al.
ways PRACTICAL: his political tastes have even
been for such honorsble measures as enure
TO the prosperity and the durability OF the
nation. With . platform or without plat
form, no section Of the republic would fear
Mr.. Filmore's administration, for every see
ton has observed his antecedents and know
that he would deal equal and exact justice in
constitutional balances And such 4 charac-
Ter among patriotic conservative men--men,
some Of whom hate the Negative slave law
with perfect hatred, aud others Of whom love

stances of this new party 'snominaiing lead

to go before Convention in competition

which iollows.a patriot in voluntarily lighting

THE LAST CHANCE TO SAVE THE UxIos.-

having first appeared in the Augusta COnsti-

Hon 4. H. Stephens most inatten.
tive observer Of the political eveRts OF the

verge Of II dissolution. 1t will require all
the patriotism of the country to prevent this
great calamity. The next Presidential nomi.
nation will have much to do with the fate of

ward the proper persons as our candidates for
the Presidency aud Vice Presidency, il may
be blessing to our Institutions. 1t is con-
eeded, ] believe, that the candidate for the
Vre Presidency will he given to the South.
There is no man whose nomination would,
in my Judgment, tend more TO calm the wa
tiers Of strife tfnn that of Alex II. Stephens
II he be placed on the ticket with Buchanan,
it may be the means of preserving and per-
petnating the political institutions OF the
country. HARRIS.
The country will, no doubt, be startled
from its propriety at the alternative so grave
" announced above: the election of Blu.
chanan and Stephens, or Dissolution. The
former is perhaps the best and safest man
whose name has yet been mentioned in con-
nection with the Cincinnati nomination, but
the idea advanced that his defeat would jeo-
pardize the integrity of The Union, is absurd.
There is patriotism enough among the mass
