Tho flames ,shen spread eventually to an adjoining shop filled with ,hiretber, a blacksmith shop occupied by Messrs Brown am) Carrick, and owned by the former, and two small frame dwellings, belonging to Mr Joseph Collins.— These were all burned to the ground with their etm teats, consisting of furniture, valuable tools, ltmlber,tmd a pew omnibus built fur Messrs Dougherty & Powers, by Mr Dugee. The loss of this property is doubtless several thousand dollars. The fire was communicated to a large pile of lumber, sod soft coal in the yards of these buildings, and spread a ids alarming rapidity toe row of six dwellings fronting on a small street run ning out of Nixon street; there were four stone houses and two of lath and plaster.

Auditor, EDWARD M'CORKLE, Indians An Isrsmous FAt.sittoop.—The American of yes erdny contains one of the most atrocious falsehoods tgninst Mr Shunk that could possibly be inrenterL-,-- The conductor of that paper is well known as one of the most brutal and reckless slanderers that ever dis graced the press, but vile as he is known to be, no per son could imagine that he would dare to publish such an atrocious falsehood as appeared in his paper of yeller_ day. The substance of the article is, that at the laying of the corner stone of the German Catholic Chnieh in the Fifth ward, Mr Shank had the American Flag spread out for the priest to walk over, in order that, by thus suffering the flag of his country - to be trampled on, be might gain the votes of those present. The motive attributed to Mt Shank is too ridiculously false to re quire any refutation, and the whole statement touch ing the flag is totally destitute of truth. No such occur rence took place on the occasion :eft.' red to, as can be testified to by hundreds who were present during the ceremony; and if this editor had desired to be correct ly informed on the matter, he might have made enqui ry of some of the members of his own party who were present, and who, we knew, must have felt an interest in the proceedings. If Mr Shunk NUS there i t was as a spectator_ only, and if the Whig party intend to bold 11l responsible whose curiosity impelled them to vritnese theceremony, - Many of our most respectable citizensof all denomina tions and of every party, will be proscribed by this new standout of patriotism that the whige of our city have set up. The 'Catholic Procession' charge shows to what des perate shifts the whigs are driven to rake up some oh. jections to the democratic candidate for Governor They look .in vain for any moral or political sin to charge him witkandtheir lastrecourse is to their never-failing expedient of mixing religion with the political wran gles of the day. In the absence of any real ohjections, the enemies of Mr Shook have heretofore denounced hint for being present, with thousands of his fellow-cit izens, at the laying of the center-stone of the German Church, but the trampling on the flag is a recent addi tion to the story—a lie of new coinage—which is ex. pected to circulate where the base misrepresentations of the first statement have become uncurrent. We do not notice this etory from any fear of the effect it might have in this neighborhood, for here its falsehood is as well known as is the character of its author, but for the purpose of counteracting the use that might be made of it abroad, where the mendacity of the pinion who put it. forth is unknown. Tait GAZETT6 •Nn THIE, ABOLITIONISTS. --The ve nal Gazette steps eat of its proper path to abuse and defame the Liberty men, because they cannot appre ciate nor respect the arguments of the 15 whigs, and because they still maintain - the principles which it advocated a few months since. Wo shall not pre, sumo to set up as defenders of the Liberty party, but us we discover, in looking over the files of the Gazette, articles and arguments from his own pen which the Liberty, men might use to repel the bitter assaults of the Gazette editor, we may occasionally Jay them be fore the public, to enable those who take an interest in the quarrel between the Gazette and the Liberty lead ers, to judge oftbelneritsof : the dispute. As lateen the 211 of May, 1843, the editor of the Gazette was an avowed Liberty man, and declared his intentions in these wordx ' " We oppose slavery, also; calmly, firmly, and perse veringly. We shall e.rprese at the BALLOT Box our abhorrence of this great evil, and suite to elect men who will resist all the unconstitutional encroachments of the slave power." But notwithstanding this promise, the editor is now, nut only supporting a slave holder, but abusing those who would do as be promised to do. On the 20th of April, 1842, the Gazette contained the following article—intended no doubt, fur a %ither ing sarcasm on southern assumption. The editor, may, however, as in the case of Clay's slander of Pittsburgh, say he intended it all for a joke: PRESIDENCY AND VICE PRESIDENCY. "The Mobile Advertiser has placed the name of H ztv RY CLAY, of Kentucky, at the bead of its columns for the Presidency, ad has expressed its preference for JOHN WBHERSON BERRIEN, of Geo., for the Vice Presidency. The nominations of the Mobile editor ap pear to meet with general approbation at the math, and they talk of it as a sort or settled matter. Some ignorant people in the northern states may think the free states ought to be coostiitetl, but this would be a daring presumption. ‘Vbat! have nut the slave states furnished all our Presidents but three, and shall we presume to dispute their right to direct who the labor ing population of the north shall vote fur! To be sure, the free states have over the slave states two to one five white citizens entitled to a vote, but what his this to do with the matter! The bard working, plodding yeo manry of the north know nothing about making Pres idents; it is above their comprehension! It takes the, aristocratic, highborn, chivnlrous slaveholders to do the thing right; men whose hands have never been soled by degrading manual labor! Beside—none are fit to rde freemen but olavehohiers! A slaveholder for President, and a slaveholder for Vice President, will bo the very thing, especially as it is now ascertain- ed that Presidents may pay the debt of nature while in office, and it will never du to run the risk of a non slaveholder reigning over freemen !" A Singular Fact.—The Nashville Union, alluding to the slander of Col. Polk's ancestors. says: "It is significant of the estimate which the Nash ville whig organs pot upon this shamelesi invention, that with all their rancor towards Col. Polk, they hare not dared to propagate or republish the libel." The Union says: "They dare not uow do it, or even intinsate that it i 4 true. Congress, _ Tar. Rasta? us Katurucar.,—The lt Yee.

Contrast this candid and dolourous concession with the following precious piece of boasting, occasioned by the August election of 1840. It was copied Into the PittsbUrgh Advocate from the Louisville Journal: 'We cart scarcely find language strong enough to ex press the magnitude of the Whig victory in Kentucky. The name of our glorious state will be shouted from hill toplaiu and from river to mountain throughout the country. It will be echoed in thunder whereVer the Whig spirit prevails." In 1840, the whig victory was so great that. the edi tor of the Louisville Journal bad not "language strong enough to express its magnitude." In 1844, an irdln amis.l whig print in Kentucky views the rein% 'as al most a COMPLETE WHIG DEFEAT.' CLAY AND PITTSOURGH.—The Gazette complains that lizstitY CLAY should he held responsible for what it terms his 'jocular" use of Mr RANDOLPH'3 "quere• Ions" remark, that the 'Ohio liver wits frozen over one half the year and dry the other half." . _ We should be sorry indeed, to hold any man accoun table for an innocent piece of pleasantry.. But this '•joular" remark of his was too severe and fatal to the interests of Pittsburgh for us to suffer it to pass without comment. In the language of the frogs who were stoned by a set of cruel boys, the Pittsburghers might say to Mr CLAY, " This may be fu' to you, but it is death. trl us." But tho idea that Mr CLAY SIMS merely joking much more laughable than Mr. CLAY'S joke So grave and potent was his witticism, that it, togeth er with Mr Clay's other jokes, signally defeated the appropriation fur an armory in the Senate. The idea is quite original, too. and the Gazette has manifestly changed its opinion of Mr CLAY'S conduct on this oc casion. On the' th of September, 1841, the Gazette contain ed an article relative to the Western Armory, from which we take the following extracts. Then the. Gazette thought that Mr Cle)'s "jocular" remark a "biota armed at Pittsburgh," and that his "inatexda" concerning our rivers, "should be met trill: irrefra-, gable evidence." Just look at the grave manner in which the Gazette treated Mr Clai's joke: "WESTERN ARMORY.-It gill be recollected that the House reduced the appmpriation fur the purchase, of a site fur the establishment of a Western Arrant). from $75,000 to $5,000. On Friday last the Senate: concurred in the amendment. This may beeonsiderat a blow aimed at l'ittsburgh.,as an eligible site near this city for such it purpose ,cannot be purchased for. the slim appropr iated. The inuendos so inconsiderately thrown out on the fluor of Congress about our rivers being dry or frozen more than half the year. should be refuted - by irrtfra gable evidence. For all purposes rtecessary fur an Armory, uur rivers are navigable on an average, ten, months in the year. From about the - 20th of Decem ber to the 20th of February, in the dead of winter. when armies are gone into winter ratters, they are frozen. The Ohio river is us low now as we ever recollect to have seen it, and yet keel boats are making their regular trips, carrying off iron, castings, nails and oth er heavy Pittsburgh Manufactures. The plea has been . put in that weeare too near Harper's Ferryto render an Armory necessary, when it is evident to the almost in-. experienced, that aims could be taken from hero to any point on the Ohio and Mississippi, during low • water, in less time and at less expense than they could be brought from Harper's Ferry to this place. ***•*** I Thus it will be seen that as fat as transportation is concerned, Pittsburgh presents every advantage for the purposes contemplated, and every advan tage that tray othereitt tTers au the Ohio rater...-.
