OW The article in the Gazette of yesterday, rel
ative to the -. recent fire in Allegheny, is a gross libel
upon ourself, upon the party to which we belong,
and upon the friends of the Ten flour Law, of ev
ey.:party in the two cities. The editor knew when
he wrote.it, that it was false in fact, and false by in
sinuatioS.; We can view it in no other' light than
the cool effort of abase, malignant heart, to wan
tonly and: maliciously injure a political opponent,
Without cause, tad without provocation. Self-res.
pest forbids us to reply to the article in detail
The - calumny is too palpable to be miTunderstood ;
and too aireciously false not to strike in its rebound
the wretch that uttered it. Though the Editor of
the Gazette may lend himself for money to be the
tool of our enemies, we have the satisfaction of
knowing that more than one of!the prominent men
of.hil - party pronounced his . article of yesterday un
true, uncalled for, and calculated to effect upon in
surance companies, the very movement he seeming
ly deprecates.

Death of Benjamin A. Bidleek
We regret to •hear by a late arrival from Vanilla,
of the death of lion. Benjamin A. Bidlack, Charge
d'Affaires to the Republic of New Granada. Mr. B.
'was a resident of Wilkesbarie, in this State, Wan o
gentleman of great urbanity of manners, kind and
gentlemanly in all his intercourse with his fellow
men. He represented his district in Congress, for
aotite years, with great ability; was appointed Charge
to Granada, by President Polk, and renderrd essen
tial service to his -country by an important treaty,
which secured the right of way to the United States
across the Isthmus of Panama. Ho died of apop
lexy, and we learn that his death was universally la
mented, both by the natives and his con ntryinen re
siding at Bogota, the capitol or Grdnada. The death
of Mr.• B. will induce some four score hungry feder

The case .of ex-Governor Pennington, of New.

worthy of note. Three years atter the buckshot

in the history of this country so bold a fraud on
the elective franchise. The Congressmen from
New Jersey were then elected by general ticket,
and the vote was close—so close that one of the
Democratic members, Rev. Manning Force, failed
of his elekioni the remaining members (five or six. l
we forgot which) were elected by small majoet.
ties, and Gov;Pennington Caused the vdtes of two
townships to be suppressed and gave his certifi
cate of election to the whig members. This high
handed outrage was sustained, at the'time, by the
whole strength of the whig party; but a reaction
came at last, and in 1843 the Penningtons were
utterly defeated. They lost all their idfluence and
power, and the election frauds and high proscrip
tive party course which marked their career is re
membered only with disgust. And yet Gen.,Tay

Heaven protect the people of young Minesota
from the crushing influences of the broad seal!
Starvation In Ireland
We copy from the New York Tribune the fol
lowing condensed account of the piieous condition
of the Irish people. Their sufferings are truly
heart rendering:
"A poor female child was found dead in a cross
street, its appearance at mite suggesting the desti
tution of Which it was a victim. An inquest was
held, and a verdict of "death from starvation" re
turned. An inquest was held in the County pris
on, upon the body of a woman named Mary M . Car•
thy who had been committed the previous day as
a vagrant. She was in an exhausted state at the
time of her committal. The Jury returned a ver
dict of "died by the visitation of God." "A man
50 years of age,,was observed by a woman named
Catherine English, near the Church-yard of Drum.
cullen. She asked him some questions, to which
he replied that he was weak. His clothes had
mud upon them. He subsequently crawled to
within a quarter of smile of this village, where he
was seen lying in a ditch; but no one wished to
admit him into their house, as they were appre
hensive that he had fever. or some other Conte
gious disease. Information having been convey.
ed to this town, the Police proceeded to the spot,
and found the poor creature dead. From the his
tory of the case, coupled with the emaciatedap
pearance-of the body, the Corpner was of opinion
that death was caused by hardship, exposure to
cold, filth, and general debility. The jury return
ed a verdict accordingly. • -An inqiiest was
held on the body of Michael Devitt, ss bich had
been found lying on the hill of Curraghmore, in
the parish of Kilmastulla, on Friday, with life ex
tinct, and a few turnips. some of which bad been
eaten, lying beside the corpse. - - . Dr. Edward
Elitism), of Nenagh, on his examination, stated that
having entered the house of deceased, he found him
lying on the floor in a most wretched condition,
dead. His Wife and three of their children were
lying on some straw in another part of the cabin,
in an emaciated and weakly state. Such a scene
during the course of his professional experience,
be never Witnessed. lie of the children lying
dead by the side of the mother, and another aged
about eight years cowering over a, few embers,
whose appearance was little better than that of
those lying by the side of the wretched mother.—
The body of Devitt presented no marks of violence
and the Doctor supposed he must have died of ex.
treme want and exhaustion, accelerated by ex
po Sure to the inclemency of the night. A verdict
of death for want of proper nousishment was re.
turned in the case of the father and daughter. • - •
A poor man named John Ryan, residing with his
brother in a but near Puckawa, died of starvation
fhe poor wretch had riot eaten a morsel of food
since the Friday previous, and repeatedly called
for "a bit to eat" a few hours before his death,
which his brother was not able to procure him
The condition of the corpse was revolting in the
extreme, stretched oa some straw, with no other
covering than the rags he wore during the Jay.--«
The condition of the entire community in the par
ishes of Carrigaholt and Kilballyowen is awful
in the extreme, principally from disease superindu
ced by cold and starvation."
TUE PRESIDENT EPICENE —We copy with pleas
ure, at the request of a friend, the following com
munication from the Gazette, in relation to the
above excellent fire company :
The loss of life at the fire on Monday, in Alle
gheny, has cast a gloom over the whole neighbor:-
nood. It was awful to think of, and still was be
yond the reach of human power to orevent. If the
whrlo city bad been destroyed, a single life saved
from the consuming flames would have more than
compensated for it all.
I wish however to bear witness to the noble exer
tions of our firemen, one and ell, for the manner in
which they performed their duty. Where all did so
well, no fault can be found, but I was particularly
impressed with the heroism of the members of the
Pakstrirarr, as they worked at the canal, the fountain
head, and from which came the only effective and
never failing stream. Nobly did they work, and no
bly did they earn and receive the praise of every
person cognizant of their situation. Had they ceas
ed, much more property must have been destroyed,
and perhaps more lives lost, and therefore it is that .
I communicate this for your paper, to f give them
that credit which is so justly their due.

I MIS rejoiced to find it go thronghil These poor

indignant at the commitment: " What an outrage is
this 7 Why will the city authorities pqmit an old
fireman to be used in this way 7" " What coropany t
do you belong to t " " I belong to the Allgheny."
The Doctor went up.
A celebrated Temperance Lecturer was in for

A young man was brought up on the charge of
drunkenness. lie was a green one froM the coon-`

At about nine the flames burst out. The horses
were saved ; the carriage did not happen to be in.

Mr The American of yesterday contains a most
detestable squib about Madam Biscaccianti. She
probably did not knosi there was such .a paper in
the city ; or if slie did, had been made. acquainted
with its character. Therefore she did not patronize
the editor by sending him 04 advertisement.
IT is suspected that the negroes in jail, under vd
rious charges, have. formed a plan for swearing each
