protected me against the shafts of false
hood and malice will not desert me now
when have become old and gray
headed. can declare before God and
my country that no human being, with
an exception scarcely worthy of notice,
has, at any period of my life, dared to
approach me with a corrupt or dishon-
orable proposition, and,. until recent
developments, it has never entered in
to my imagination that any person,
even in storm of exasperated polit-
ical excitement, would charge me, in
the most remote degree, with having
made such proposition to any human
being. now, however, exclaim, in
the language Of conn laint emf Logged
by my first predecessor, that " have
been abused in such exaggerated and
indecent terms as could scarcely be ap-
piled to Nero, to notorious default
er, or even to a common pickpoeket."
/ do, therefore, for the reason stated
and in the name Of the people of the
several States, solemnly protest against
these proceedings of the House of Rep
resentatives, because they are in yio-
lation of the rights of coordinate
executive branch of the government,
and subversive of It's constitutional in
dependence because they are calcu-
lated to foster a band of interested
parasites and informers, ever ready, for
their own advantage, to swear, before
ec parte committees, to pretended pri-
vate conversations between the Presi-
dent and themselves, incapable, from
their nature of being disproved-thus
furnishing material for harrassing him,
degrading him in the eyes of the coun-
try, and eventually should he be
weak or timid man, rendering him sub
servientto improper influences in order
to avoid such prosecutions and annoy
ances; because they tend to destroy
that harmonious action for the common
good which ought to be maintained,
and which / sincerely desire to cher
ish, between the coordinate branches of
the government; and, finally, because,
if unresisted, they would establish
a precedent dangerous and embarras-
to all my successors, to whatever poll
teal party they might be attached.

Letter from MarceIlus.

The following letter, received late
last evening, will inform our readers OF
the cause of the Republican defeat in
Marcellus. The Board stand 9 Repub-
licans and Democrats, with Howard
to hear from, which is most probably
democratic:
MARCELLUs, April I'd, 1860.

in nomination an out-andout party
ticket, and as was expected are defeat

We hope evey reader of the Repub-
Hcan will give the article on our first
page, in relation to the State debt, a
careful perusal. We clipped it from
the columns of the Detroit Aduertiser,
whose editors compiled the figures and
statements therein contained, from the
official records at Lansing. . 1t will be
seen that the debt of this State when
the Locofocos were expelled from pow
err, was, in round numbers, $4,000, 900.
This debt was created by the Locofoco
party, while, at the very time that it
was increasing at the rate of compound
interest, they had on hand and were
using for their own private purposes
about half million dollars, and left
the interest unpaid, and the public
buildings unfinished. On this State
debt the people of Michigan are COM
PEELED to pay an annual interest of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
To meet this interest, and preserve the
credit and honor of the State, the Re-
publicans have been obliged slightly to
increase the burdens of the taxpayers.
For thus making provision for the pay
ment of the interest upon this locofoco
debt, they are declared to be incompe-
tent, unworthy, and dishonest, and the
people are Justify called upon to restore
the authors of it to power again. Thus
the case stands: The locofocos have
created large State debt for the bene-
fit of corrupt partisans. The Repub-
licans have been compelled to tax the
people to pay the interest upon it.
Therefore the Republicans must be
repudiated, and the locofocos placed
in office.

From the N. Y. Evening Post 2sth
Horrible Calamity in New York..-Ten
Persons Burned to Death.

Another of the horrible calamities
which must be expected until the Leg
islature takes measures to protect the
occupants of tenement houses in this
city, occurred in Forty fifth street, at
an early hour this morning, by which
at least nine, and probably ten human
beings were burned to death.
About quarter past four O'Clock,
when all the occupants were asleep, a
fire broke out in the wooden tenement
house No. SO, little west of 9th ave-
nue..
The FIRE originated in the hall, and is
supposed by some to have been the
work of an incendiary.
The building is four stories high and
is divided into four parts. Everything
was of wood and highly combustible.
The four houses together had IS feet
front, giving 1sa feet breadth to each
house, with As feet depth. The hall
ways were only five feet six inches
wide, including stairways, which were
only about two feet wide.
Into this wretched structure, so COM
bustible that fire must of necessity
spread to every part almost instantane-
ously, were crowded from twenty to
thirty families, men, women and chill
dren, without sufficient means of egress.
When the fire broke out this morn
ing, the flames spread with great rap
idity through the entire structure and
the alarm bell sounded for the Second
instead of the First district; by which
accident some time elapsed before the
engines were brought to the spot and
set to work.
The lower part of the house was
mass of fame before the wretched in
mates of the upper part were aroused;
and when they awoke to a conscious
ness of their situation, scene of hor-
ror ensued which beggars description.
The cries for assistance, which could
not be rendered, and the frantic efforts
of those who had escaped, to save their
friends or children, made up a scene
which can only be imagined by those
who have witnessed one equally terri
BILE. 0
The first floor was occupied by Mar
tin Redmond, as a grocery and liquor
store; the upper floors were occupied
by six families. Thomas Burnett, with
his wife and four children, occupied a
back room on the fourth floor. His
wife and children all persisted in the
flames. kG
Andrew Whalen, his wife and four
children occupied the back room on the
third floor. Mrs. Whalen and her four
children also persisted in the flames.
Jane Incidentally, sister-in-law of
Thomas Burnett, who was visiting her
sister, escaped by leaping from fourth
story window into the yard, breaking
her thigh. She was also severely
burned and otherwise injured. She
was conveyed to the City Hospital.
Up to THIS morning ten bodies had
been taken from the ruins and removed
to the Cpd ward station house.
The body of young man is still
supposed to be among the burning en-
bers.
The police and fremen were at work
all night.

THE IMPRISONED WITNEss.-The
Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Commercial Advertiser writes that
Mr.. Hyatt, of Mass, the eminent phil
anthropist, who is imprisoned by or
der OF the Senate, for refusing to testi-
fly before that body, receives daily visits
from Senator Sumner, and distinguished
gentlemen of other parties have called
to cheer his cell. 1t is not very pleas
ant to pass through the three grated
doors, the foul passages and the narrow
steps, between the fresh air and Sena-
torial cell, especially as one sees score
or so of degraded criminals, let out in
to the passage for exercise.
Mr.. Hyatt's cell has been white
washed, a wooden door has been placed
inside of the iron gratings, and Mr..
Hyatt's friend, Mr.. Army, makes him
comfortable. But it is a miserable
prison cell after all, and beyond the iron
bars of the windows boarding pre-
vents the occupants from catching a
glimpse of the world without.
Mr.. Hyatt's health is good. He is
preparing an account of his case, and
he seems willing to test the constitu-
tionaf right of the Senate to seize upon
citizen, drag him here and lock him
up Among his visitors on Saturday
was Mrs. Fowler, neighbor, who
brought some flowers from his garden
to enliven his prison.
