e more loyal than those of the Northwest; none more ready to fight, if necessary. He spoke for his own people, and he believed such was the sentiment of the whole Trans-Allegheny region. He alluded, in eloquent terms, to their record of the past, and said if it was a fault to love the Union, they had learned it from the great men who laid the foundation of the Government. Mr. W. quoted with much effect, in enlarging upon this point, from Washington's Farewell Address, and from the words of Clay after the passage of the Compromise measures of 1850. Mr. Goode, of Mecklenburg, made some remarks, in which he also dwelt upon the glories of the past; but said that his constituents, smarting under the wrongs of the Black Republican party, were prepared to resist.

Mr. President and Gentlemen — I am rather an old man to avail myself of such excuses as I am now about to do; yet the truth is so distinct, and pressing so directly upon me, that I cannot well avoid it — and that is, that I did not understand when I was brought into this room that I was brought in to make a speech.

Mr. Mayo, and one adjoining, also a tobacco factory, used by Messrs. Mason & Timberlake, were entirely consumed, together with their respective contents. The building used by Mr. Mayo, was built many years since by Mr. Edmund Brown, (one of the most famous tobacco manufacturers of by-gone days, and the proprietors of "Brown's best, " well known to all lovers of the weed,) at a cost of $30,000. It was finished in 1838. Before being occupied, the Whig party gave their great leader, Hon. Henry Clay, a dinner within its walls, that famous orator making on the occasion one of his most happy forensic displays, the memory of which is extant even to this day.

Everything was burnt, books, fixtures and stock, including about 120 boxes of manufactured tobacco that was to have been shipped yesterday. He had an insurance of only $6,000, half the amount in the Valley Office, and half in the office of the Insuran
