following address WINS adopted:
To The Wig Voters Of Massachusetts:
The undersigned, members Of the National
Wing party, beg leave TO address TO you
few words ut this time. In view OF the
present political condition Of the country.
and Of the changes nkely to take place in
some o! tho prominent issues before the peo-
pie during the next Presidential contest, the
time has arrived, In our judgment, for the 70.
organization Of the Why party, National
ind State. +, This movement must begin
somewhere and we know of no place where
II may with more propriety begin than in the
Commonwealth Of Massachusetts, where
Wing principles so long fourished, and
where the policy Of the Wing party 40 long
prevailed and produced such good results.
We have therefore taken the first step to-
ward the reorganization of the party within
the State of Massachusetts, by designating a
number Of gentleman to act MS Wing State
Committee, whose claims TO the confidence
OF the Wings no one will dispute. II will
be the duty Of this committee to open cor
respondence with Wings in other parts OF
the country, ut such times us they may deem
eypedient, for tho purpose of completing the
organization Of a National Wing parry; a
duty which will be the more easily dscharg-
ed from the fact HAT the National Whip
Convention, which sat at Baltimore in 1856,
appointed committee with reference to such
measure.

The ADMINISTRATION AnD THE TARIFF
"Independeni," the Washington correspon-
dent Of the Philadelphia North American
writes thus
The disposition Of the Administration, 80
far ns Il can BE- understood, is to stand by the
tariff Of 1857, on the ground that the OK.
pertinent has not teen fairly tried, owing to
the financial revision, and TO recommend
Congress to pass prospective law, which
shall enable the Secretary of the Treasury
to raise certain enumerated duties, II, nfter

shall be fonnd 10 be insufficient. This Is
the remedy now entertained. and, like most
suggested, is lame and impotent II may be
modified or rejected entirely, before the meet
ing Of Congress. The imports from Janna-
~ last have fallen of on tho aggregate value
over seventy-five millions of dollars, and
| will exceed hundred by The first Of the

and seventy millions Of imports last Decem.
Der, nearly two months after the crash, and in
the teeth of all the severe instruction which
II impaired. Treasury statistics have drug
ged the country long enough, and now they
are preparing n huge batch to prove some
stupid theory which won't be worth the ink
required to print them. Who cares whether
Mr.. Cobb's speculntions hre right or wrong!
The country, standing in the presence of the
effects of n revulsion which neither he nor
his colleagues ever appreciated or nnderstood,
demands relief, and not reports. Give US
bread, and after digesnng that, we will stand
dosing with exploded stump theories. But
bread is whnt the lnboring man and his starv
ing children, whom Democracy has turned
out Of doors, need now, and what they-Sill
soon have, by turning you and your Admin
istration out in 1860.

FIRE IN WORCEsTER.-On Saturday afternoon.
about two O'clock, fire broke out in the extern
Sive rolling mill of Nathan Washburn, ESQ.,, in
this city, situated in the vicinity of the Western
Railroad depot.
The building is an extensive brick structure
one hundred and sixty feet long, and one hundred
and fifteen fett wide, with slated roof, support
ed entirely by trusses, the ends of which rest upon
the side walls.
The fire originated in the engine room, small
wooden building, in the rear of the main struc-
ture, it is supposed, from cinders raked from the
furnace coming in contact with the walls, which,
being very dry, produced so rapid combustion
IS to communicate almost instantly with the
wood work ofthe roof and the trusses which sup
ported it.
The fire department were promptly upon the
spot, but, in consequence of the fresh breeze
blowing at the time, and the Kindred state of
the wood upon which the flames had assembled. it
appeared at etime as if the building could not
be saved but fortunately, through an abund
of water and the well directed efforts of the
fire department, which never worked more eff
GENTLY or appeared to better advantage. the
flames were soon got under control, and the
building was dimaged only to the'extent of some
three or four thousand dollars.
While the Are was raging, the boiler of the
engine was exposed to an intense heat, and the
escaping steam sent forth a constant succession
of mournful shreks, that startled the spectators
and harmonzed well with the fearful scene.
Mr.. Washbum had no insurance upon the prop
erty, but it was remarked by many who saw him
at the fire thai he appeared tn be about "the
coolest man in the crowd" Before the sun went
down, with Characteristic promptitude, he had
secured estimates of the damage, and made his
contracts for repairs, which, the public will be
glad to know, WILDE SO speedily made as to ena.
BILE the large company of workmen in his employ
to return to their accustomed labors before the
close of the present week, and the enterprising
| proprietor TO answer the orders Of his railroad
customers for new rails, without delay.
