JOHN FORST TH.
We learn that a dreadful fire has occurred in Mobile, but
we have no particular account of the extent of its ravages.
MARYLAND ELECTION.
Maryland is regenerated. Five members of Congress out
•f eight, and a democratic legislature.
Verily, verily, ‘•The sober second thought of the people is
right."
“The struggle isover, the victory is won."
Georgia is herself again, and resumes her place in the ranks
of her democratic sisters.
Charles J. McDonald is her Governor, and a democratic,
legislature, by a decided majority in both branches.
We could shout victory and glory, but it is not in nature
to exult over a fallen enemy ; we have beat them, •• and that
is sufficient as Tost Haynes said, when he saw the Elephant."

From the New York Evening Post, Ist inst.
A groat rattle of drums, and a great shouting of orderly
serjeants is heard just now among the dispersed and dis
couraged ranks of the Whig party. You cannot open a
newspaper on that side without lighting upon some earn
est exhortation to organize, to attend tint primary meet
ings, tn appoint committees, to establish communications
between the different parts of the whig camp, and to pre
pare for the coining battle. Their party is at present
phlegmatic, inactive and desponding; many of its honest
membcis are not quite sure of the propriety of the course
they have taken, and generally they arc confounded by
the result of the late elections.
We met the other day in the neighborhood of the city,
two lads, one carrying a fowling piece, and the other a
fine large hawk disabled by a severe wound. Westopped
to look at the bird and asked if he was dead. “ Not
dead,’’ answered the boy who carried the fowling piece,
with a slight Irish accent, “but we just astonished him.”
The whig partv are much in the same predicament, not
dead, but terribly astonished. Their leaders are endea
voring to rally and recover them from their apathy, as Lu
cifer in Milton’s poem rallied his “ astonished” troops—
we use the phraseology of the great poet —out of the lake
of fire in which they passively floated after their discom
fiture. These leaders will make a stand to preserve at
the ensiling election the ascendancy they have obtained in
this State, and if possible to carry this city and this sena
torial district.
That they will secceed in the State we do not believe.
They have been lifted into office by a lucky concurrence
of circumstances, partly in consequence of the errors of
the democratic patty, and partly by the effect of the hard
times. They have remained in power long enough to make
their doctrines and their administration unpopular. The
people have tried them and do not like them, and will now
we think, call upon them with a pretty loud voice, to come
down.
That they should succeed in this city is impossible, if
our party make their movements with judgement, and hold
together as they ought. The primary meetings take place
to-morrow in the several wards, and we hope they will be
numerously attended by the honest and disinterested por
tion of the party —that portion which always acts so pro
perly and judiciously' when it acts at all, but which is apt
to take less part than it ought todo in the nomination of can
didatesand the prelimindry arrangements for elections. We
must nominate to the Legislature sound men, and thorough
democrats, men of competent talents and of good character,
not men who have interested purposes of their own to pro
mote in the Legislature, not men who will allow them
selves to be used for such purposes by others, not men
who will betray the cause of the people' through that timi
dity which sometimes produces all the effects of dishonesty.
To sectlie the nomination of such men we must appoint
honest, disinterested and true minded men in the nomina
ting committees, and to secure the appointment of such
committees, the same class must attend the ward meetings.
Those who do not attend will only have to thank their own
apathy if they find themselves put off with a bad nomina
tion.
The New Eta alludes to a plan which it is said is on
foot for sending wbigs to attend the meetings in wards
where they ate not known, with a view of corrupting our
nominations. We care not in what quarter such a plan is
proposed, whether they are whigs who thus go to the pri
mary meetings of wards where they do not reside, or
whether they are men who unworthily wear the title of
democrats. In either case they are guilty of a gross fiaud;
in either case they wrest the nomination from those who
Lave,a light to make it. We have heard of tricks of this
sort sometimes practiced at the previous elections- The
friends of n particular candidate we hear have been known
Io attend in wards to which they do not belong, and have
procured by their voles the nomination of delegates favor
able to that 'candidate. Whoever is guilty of an act of
this sort, should be marked as a cheat and held up to pub
' lie infamy.
We have tt word of advice to give to those who in the
j late embarrassments were not true to democratic princi
ples, but suffen d themselves to be seduced either by in
terest or by fear. They must be sensible that they have
lost the confidence of the democracy and that they have
deserved to lose it. Il is folly to think of it by
intrigue, by managing to obtain the endoiseiueut of a waid
meeting, nnd procuring themselves to be put forward as
members of the nominating committee or as candidates.
Such a course will only create stronger dissatisfaction.
A modest, quiet and not too active part in the proceedings
of the ward meetings would be more becoming as well as
more politic.
On the other hand we would caution the members of
the democratic parly against entertaining illiberal and
groundless jealousies in regard to each other. Vigilance
in political matters is a virtue, but it becomes a fault, a
vice, when it is pushed to the extreme of narrow and un
generous suspicion. When it has reached this point it is
easily turned by the artful and interested to their own ac
count, and the suspicious man finds at last that with all
his vigilance lie was a tool the hands of others.
Wu have only to organize in a harmonious spirit, with a
disposition to allow the party to be fairly represented by
those who most faithfully reflect the opinions of the peo
ple, and we shall carry the city, the senatorial district and
wa doubt not the State.
From the Cincinnatti Gazelle.

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.
About a half dozen years ago, a very worthy farmer
in a neighboring State, used to come to this village week
ly to sell his produce. He soon found that it was much
easier to sell than to get payment. Among others be had
trusted a widow, two or three dollais. He dunned and
dunned her, until he began to feel somewhat vexednot
angry, for the lady was very lavish of her smiles and m i
naged the affair so adr i.!y that the creditor almost resolved
to “ grin and bear it.” *
Aher no little reflection he determined to make one
ttWle eliort: knowing that every person has a weak spot,
he thought that if he could discover hr r’s and attack it
with all his forces she would surrender and lie get the
debt. He called one Satin day at her bouse, ran in the
kitchen where she was at work ; her looks bespoke con
fusion, but recovering presence of mind, she with all the
ease of a school boy who has repeated his lesson for the
fiftieth time said, “ Why, Air. , 1 am very glad to
see you, but I can’t pay you to-day ; you must call next
week.”
“Ob, my dear madam,” replied l le , “I did not come
to talk about that; I did not even think of that little sum.
I’m come on what is more important to my happiness, and
I trust to your’s madam, (here he directed a most killing
look at her) madam, lam a widower.” Here he paused”
as it his rising feelings choked his struggling voice. The
widow instinctively telt what the widower was aiming at,
and ought not to be censured if she attempted to meet him
halt way. She ordered her youngest daughter to go to the
factory and ask the agent for the money lie promise I her.
Then the good woman retired to an adjoining room, where
she placed on her head a fashionable cap, and arrayed
herself in a new silk. Having given the last glance in a
looking-glass, she was satisfied that no man, or rather no
widower, could withstand the combined influences of her
“ form divine” and beautiful dress. She entered the room
and seated herself in the chair next to her loving creditor,
prepared to receive his proposals. At this important junc
tifre between hope and doubt, the little girl returned with
the money. The lady now paid lhe debt; the gentleman
pocketed the money, took bis hat and walked out of the
house, murmuring to himself that there was more than one
way to collect a debt.
Every one can imagine how the widow bit her lips with
shame and anger, when she learned that the pretended
widower had at the time a very fine wife and a number of
very promising children! She was mad, indeed! and
to spite him, she declared in her wisdom that she would
never ask him to trust her again for his good for nothing
ti ash.— Pawtucket Chronicle.
