'GEN. MARALE's CoSIPETEN cx.*-The honest por
af.tho whit party, who are not blinded by the ran
. COMM' prejudices of their leaders, should consider well
the consequences of committing the important duties
.orshensecntive to one so incompetent and inexperienc
•ed as Gen Markle. We have no disposition to speak
-harshly of the federal candidate; we believe him to be
a man who will do what is right in ull matters that he
• can unieestatel, last at the same time it is admitted on
. all Innis that he does not possess a single qualifica
tion necessary to a faithful discharge of the duties of
the offe:e of Governor. He is coneidered a good
-hearted, easy, unsuspicious old man. whose business
capacity is scarcely sufficient to enable him to attend
to his awn little business affairs properly, and without
. the slightest notion of the transaction of public mat
• tem. ‘Vhasa pitiable plight the old gentleman would
.be in should he by any accident be elected tv the
•Gnbcrnatorial Chair, and how lamentable would De
-the consegnences of such an accident to the people of
the State. Totally uenequainted with any of the du
•ties-ef the office, without the capacity to learn them,
he would be completely in the bandsuf the political ad
venturers and speculators that would surround his ad
.ministration, and he would have to depend. upon such
"instructions as they might give him.
We believe his intent ions are honest, but whist ava
is
:honest intentions against the cunning of men who have
studied duplicity arid political ftnuds as a profession,
and estimate the use they auk make of such an I:sem
utive as Ger. Mnrkle would be. in the same to antler
as they calculate their speculations in stockF.
The puplic have not forgotten that when R ITN ER
was elected, his iucompeten cy was ac knowledged, but
the people we to told to rely ill on his honest inten-
IttillS. The first fruit of them was that gigantic scheme
.of robbery. , the U. S. Bunk—a scheme which caused
more individual misery and public embarrassment than
.any calamity that ever befel the country. This was
'the foundation of a pyramid of frauds that in three
short years, had well nigh overshadowed the liberties
of the people and required all their honesty and pa
triotism to overthrow Ritner was but an automaton
in-the hands of the corrupt aud unprincipled men that
surrounded his a dministration, and not having any
knowledge of the duties of the office himself, he yield
, ed a passive assent to all the schemes his managers pro
proposed, even to the destruction of the most glorious
privilege of an American citizen—the right of suffrage.
No fraud or assumption of power was too bold or
startling for them to propose, and there was not one of
them that the incompetent Governor did not sanction.
Stich was Ritner and such would be 'Markle. We do
not say that ho would knowingly act dishonestly—we
believe that he has associated too long with the bun
- est democracy of old Westmoreland—hut he would be
deceived and led into error by ccrrupt politicians who
would gather around and use him fns their own ag
grandizement. They would use him to consummate
their schemes, and then they would cast him off as a
tool no longer necessary.
It is of great importance to honest men of all par
ties, who depend upon the plats of their own indus
try for the means of support, that the band of politi
cians that by fraud and corruption effected the incor
poration of th•t U. S. Banlt in '33, should not ti;ain
have power to plunder the people. To protect them
selves from the recurrence of such frauds - the surest
way is never to permit them again to have the manage
rnent of an executive who is incompetent to discharge
the duties of his office.
WHIG OPINION OF FOREIGN Fits.—The A
lee, noticing the attempt of the whigs of that city to con
ciliate the foreigners, calls up the following resolution
passed unanimously at a Whig meeting in that city in
.11136:
"Resolved, That the county of Albany is decikd
ly a Whig county, and so manifests itself at the annual
etec.tions, v.hen the Native Inhabitants are not over
powered by the hordes of Foreigners, who, bniught
top as Slaves in their own country, know not the fee
lings and duties of freemen in this."
Mr ROOT, a federal member of the Senate from the
Albany districtthus expressed himself in a speech on the
Registry Law:—
'"Aost of the IRISH are paupers, st rangers, so
journers, loafers, and other cattle, who contribute
set one cent to the maintainance of the government,
and are not found save on the days of election. and
never seen afterwards. 7'hey swear falsity with
perfect impunity, as respects punishment in this
world, and, according to whose faith, perhaps the
price of a day's labor gives them absolute security
for the next."

sub joined returns that the Native American party have
swept every thing--elcctimg Mr Harper Mayor, and
large majorities in both branches of the councils.
The Herald says: The election terminaurdrsterday
with a perfect revolution in favor of the American Re
publican. or Reform Party, and a complete overthrow
of the Whig party. from which not a single candidate
fur Alderman or Assistant was elected. The Demo- -
°cries have secured five Aldermen out of 17. and six
Assisteriu from the same number. Nearly 50,000
votes were polled—being more than were ever cast in
this city before, and notwithstanding this immense turn
ora,but little rioting was exhibited at tho polls through
out the city. Harper's majority will be from two to
three thousand oven• Ceddington.
The Tribune gives 63 following as the result .

occurred. An Irishman was killed by some rowdies in

The Puseyite ticket succeeded in Calvary and St Paul

NEW ORLEANS ELECTION
The municipal election in the city of New Orleans

MINISTER To FR ANCY..—The Globe of the 9th says,
that Hon Wst. R. Ktso was that day nominated by
the President of the Senate as Minister to F"lances and
the nomination was instantly and unanimously confirm
ed by that body. No man ever better deserved such a
high distinction. During his allele public life be has
uniformly and ably sustained the principles of democ
racy; and no shadow of suspicion has ever rested eith
er upon his public or private character. He first came
into Congress in 1811; and, with the exception of a
brief interval, has ever since been a member of the H.
of Representatives or of the Senate. His publiccourse,
whilst it has been firm and consistent, has been so
courteous and gentlemanly as nut only to command the
respect, but secure the affection of his fellow members.
They will all part from him with deep regret. He has
been eminently disinterested in his political carrel;
having been offered high executive offices, and as often
refused to accept them. From the peculiar condition
of our foreign relations, it was deemed indispensable
that a minister of high character should be sent to
France without delay; and after once declining the ap
pointment, ho became convinced that it was an act of
imperative duty no longer to resist the continued soli
citations of the President th.t he should change his
determination. He will go abroad, we know, with
great reluctance; and no consideration could have in
duced him to abandon his place in the Senate, but an
imperious and overruling sense of what he believed be
owed to his country , . Wo wish him a prosperous and
successful mission, and happy return to his native land.

erotic candidate fur Guvernor of Missouri, and Cul
Young fur Lt. Guvernor.

FIRE IN PORTLAND.
We learn by Child & Co's Eastern Express, that a
fire broke out in Portland last evening, about 7i o'-
clock, in the Portland Advertiser Office, corner of Mid
dle and Excharge treets, (Boyi's buildings,) origi
nating. as is supposed, by spontaneous combustion of
a quantity of combustible matter stowed away in the
cock-loft. A total destruction of the whole block at
one time seemed invitahle, but the Fire Department,
with their accustomed alacrity, met the formidable el
ement, con.bated it vigorously, and su'sdned it with
but inconsiderable damage to the building. The stores
under the Advertiser office were occupied by M L Lib
by, hat and cap manufacturer, and Oliver Gerrish,
jewelltr; who sustained some loss, occasioned by the
deluge of water thrown into the building. The Fa, M
of the Advertiser, neatly ready fur the Press, was but
little disturbed, and nn it is not all knocked into pi,
there will be but little delay in issuing the paper.

and went on her trip to Po rtsmout h.—Cin. Corn.
DESTRUCTIVE EIRE
Etrrmt Houses BURNT!—On Saturday night, be.
tween 9 and 10 o'clock, a fire broke out in the exten
sive stable attached to the tavern. owned and occupied
by Messrs Henry Sprague &Son, situated on the main
road, Cambridgeport. The flames spread very rapid
ly, taking hold in all directions, and in a very stunt
time. the stable in which the fire first broke, also anoth
er stable connected with the tavern and a wagon shed,
with most of their contents were consumed, together
with a portion (4 - the tavern. Fifteen horses perished
in the flames. The tavern was a two and a half story j"
wooden building with wings. The roof and the two
upper stories of the main building and the wings were
destroyed. The furniture was mostly saved. There
were between 30 and 40 horses in the two stables.—
, The wagon shed containt d two large and two small
baggage wagons, freighted with goods destined fat the
interior, and had been put up to remain over Sunday,
having left the city late on Saturday. They with their
contents were destraled. Two of the wagons were ve
ry large. One was owned by Otis Merriam, and was
loaded with groceries for Ashburnham—the other be
longed to Sylvester :Miller, and was laden with dry
goods for Westminster. Of the tw o others we learnt
no particulars. The loss of the gotals in these wagons
is very heavy.
:Messrs Sitrague C. Sun bad insurance on their prop
erty to the amount of $6,300, at tha Charlestown and
Lowell Mutual offices.
Engines wet e present from the city and the surround
ing towns, to the number of between 30 and 40, and
efficient service was rendered by the several companies
of firemen.
The fire, we are informed from the be.+t information
that can be obtained, was undoubtedly the act of an in
cendiary.
The fire created quite a liwht , and was: seen eta great
distance. Bosten Atlas, April 8.
STATISTICS OF POPULATION.
From a table publishedin the Boston Morning Post.
it appears that in the United States, considerably more
than half uf the population are under ten years of age,
while in England. the reverse is the case. This is ex
plained by the fact, that in England the difficulty of
supporting a family prevents one-fifth of the population
over 20 years of age from marrying—while in this
country the means of living are seensily obtained, that
all the population marry. In England about 4.000 slut
of every 10,000 children born, die under the ago of
5 years: in this country—principally from the soperiar
comforts of tttelaboring classes—the mortality among
the children is much less. A consideration of these
facts will prevent the deduction. that the average du
ration oflife is longer in England than in the United
Stares. In England and Wales the number of persons
over 100 years of age is 249—one in 63,252; in the
United States- 2,769—0ne in 6.169.
