L
sheald ever have eleclted ~ much VI
citsmeAt and bitterness Of feeling o,
the part Of our brethren in the north
ern part Of this confederacy, can opl,
be accounted for in the fact, that
land Of liberty like ours, has no fixet
bound for demsgogueism, and III,
bigotry and narrow mindedness Of III,
people Of New England, is The herit
age bequeathed them BY the Pilgrim
fathers. Time instead Of allaying thi.
bigotfy, has only served to strengthen
and settle it into madness and blind
ness. This Yankee nation; admitted
to be great in every thing else, is moi
deficient in its annual crop Of great
men, who come into existence. AZ il
would seem to raise great questions, thai
had never otherwise been thought Of
Question iaising is science, and ma
ny Of the greatest Of the great men
now living--fellows who have sent
their phises down to remote postetity
in "Livingstoh's Lives Of Living great
men'--ewe their greatness to the
fact that they have drawn into notice
some great question for the discovery
Of which, they are certainly entitled to
immortal immortality. c
There is no difference in the inter
ests Of the various sections and quarter
sections Of our vast domain. A small
band Of thieves in Boston, may steal q
travelling Louisiana gentleman's body
from him, and as they muster
q strong band Of law breakers, they
may overawe the police and intimidste
the Judge, but is this any reason why
We Southern people should swear par
ficalar vengenoe against the whole
State Of Massachusetts, BY no man
ner Of means. On the other hand a
band Of demagogues may get together
1t Montpelier and pass in legislative
language, buncomb resolutions to
please some Of their fire-eating con-
stituents. What do they amount TO ?
Why they are as harmless AZ the blat-
ngs Of = male lamb, and do not afford
'ufficient reason for southern legisla
i've bodies to make asses of themselves.
L al the folly and fanaticism we're con-
lnsd 70 the north, then might the
'outh roll out the harmless thunder OF
Is demagogues. Such however is not
be fact. Every man now days, who
occupies high position, thinks il peces-
sry to give uttersnce to strong
thoughts, and he goes and does il &C.
ordingly.
One thing Ia reference to the sub
cot Of slavery, our German cousins
hould not forget such = thing NJ free |
ociety cannot exist, the idea IL TITO
ian. If NO have not black slaves,
hen must We have white. All men |

Tiers entirely pedless; some are

theirs. For this reason Mr.. JetFer.
on's doctrine Of "all men are created

day evening last FIRE broke out in
st. Martihsvills; which not only laid
waste the principal portion Of the town,
but was attended BY 4 fesrful lof Of
life. The circumstances, 10 far a we
have learned them, are these The FIRE
originated in a stable in the rea5 Of
Mr.. Fontanette's store, TO which: the
flames quickly reached, and rptea( ling
themselves in their destructive ;pro.
gress, in a short time the entire square
was a mass of flame, This square
embraced the principal business houses
Of the town, some Of them fine brick
buildings containing quantity Of val
uable merchandise. In odh Of these
stores were forty kegs Of gunpowder.
which exploded with tremendous re.
port, blew down the walls, carried in
the ROT, and buried in the ruins thir
teen persons who were in the store al
the time, ehdeavoripg to save what
they could from the conaagration. All
these persons are said to have been
instantly killed u We have not been
able to learn the hames Of the suffer
|ers. The gentleman who furnishes
the information was an witness TO
this awful scene, and estimates the
probable loss Of property to be about
100000. We cannot learn that any
Of this loss was covered by insurance.
Since the above was written we learn
from another source that twenty-three
persons are missed since the explosion
occurred, and the supposiaion is that
they are among the victipes. A gen
tleman who arrived here last night by
the mail boat states that when he left
st. Martinsvile seventeen bodies had
been found among the ruins, and that
diligeBt search was then being made
for others who are suppose to be there.
We anxiously await the full par.icu-
lars Of this awful calamity. which VIC
look for by the downward mail Of to-
morrow afternoon.
