‘.‘ If the opinion I
have given of the
motives of the fra-
mers of the Consti-

veto power to the
President, is correct,
it follows that they
never could have ex-

was constituted the
umpire between con-
tending parties,should
ever identify himself;
with the interests of
one of them, and vol-
untarily raise himself:
from the proud emi-
nence of a proud na-1
tion to that of chief;
of a party. I can
easily conceive the
existence of a state
of things by which
the chief magistrate,

party principles, but
such a course is en-,
tirely opposed to all’-

FIRE IN BROOKLYN.

By far the most diszistrous fire with which
The fire broke out in Fulton street, directly
opposite Sands street, in a small crockery
store, forming a part of the house furnish-
ing cstablisliurent of Geo. Drew,and doubt-
lessoriginated throughcarelessncss. From
this point,the fire extended at first chiefly
in a westerly direction, and before it could
be quelled, consumed the whole space lying
within the bounds of Henry, Orange, Con-
cord, Liberty and Nassau streets, together‘
with portions of blocks lying beyond these
limits, on Washington, Sands, Pineapple,
'Orange east of Henry, and Fulton streets.
Its great extent is owing to the constant
failure of the cisterns and wells which were
relied on for a supply of water.
The principal buildings burned are the
post office, the Baptist, Universalist and
Methodist churches, and the Franklin buil-
ding. The Baptist church,corner of Nas-
sau antl Liberty street, wasinsured for 13,-
000 in Philadelphia, which will aboutcover
theloss. A large portion of the furniture
was saved, in a damaged state. The Meth-
odist church located between Sands and
High street, was insured for 3,500 in a
Brooklyn office, (furniture chiefly saved,)
and the Lecture Room adjoining, for $1,-
500. Five other two-story frame houses,
used chiefly as class rooms, and the par-
sonage, a valuable newly erected four story
brick building, No. 18 Sands street, were
all consumed. "
The Universalist church situated on Pin"-
apple street, was also entirely consumed,
and loss partially covered by iusur:ince.——
Davenport and Co. occupied a portion of
the basement as a carpet store.
William H. Cary is by far the largestin-
dividual loser. Twenty-six houses belong-
ing to hitn, including the beautiful range of
unfinished stores called the Washington and
Franklin stores and the “Franklin Build-
ing,” on the corner of Orange and Fulton
streets, were destroyed. Their total valua-
tion was $50,000 and were insured at
about half their value, or $25,000, in the
City and Mutual Safety offices of New
York and the Long Island and Kiug’s Coun-
ty Ins. Cos. of Brooklyn.

pressions are iuctilcated by the (so called)
Democratic press in this neighborhood
unfavorable to Gen. Taylor, as regards
his views on War, Conquest and the Ac-
quisition of Territory. Knowing his
opinion on these subjects, 1 deem it but
just to state through your paper, if you
please, that those who impute to him any
such ambitious views, do him great injus-
tice. This can be shown by reference to
his correspondence with the War Depart-

“ Judge by Hits Prccctliaig Course.”
In a pamphlet published by Hr. Charles F.
Van Buren with having been subscrricrzt to
Southern interests : '
“The principles of liberty are never
safe in the hands of men who make a
trade of public affairs. Mr. Van Buren
must be judged by Iris yvrect-cling course,
taken as aw/role—and from that let no
man delude himself with the belief that
he is fixed to any t/ting but /zis own in-
terests.”
As Mr. Adams now runs as candidate for
Vice President upon the same ticket with Mr.
Van Buren, his testimony in relation to the
latter is certainly a matter of considerable im-
Mr. Van Buren is " fixed to nothing
184-5; his delay to advance while there
was any hope of the success of Mr. Sli-
dell, and by his obvious reluctance to
offer the least menace while there existed
one hope of the success of negotiation.
At the time of the late Treaty, Gen.
Taylor expressed to the writer his repug-
nance to the acquisition of any territory
South of 36 30. The seaports of Montcrey
and San Francisco, on the Pacific, with
the territory North of the above parallel,
he thought should be insisted on as being
necessary to our commerce and naviga-
tron.
No man cherishes stronger wishes for
peace and amity with all nations—no man
feels a greater repugnance to \\ar—none
dreads the evils of a thirst for trilli-
tary glory, leading to VVar and Conquest,
and hostile influences on peaceful avoca- _
