Ul Uclr van. l'rtvloin (o tin asssniMIng of tli IU-jhi-limit National Convention, it was consid ered noarljr a certainty that Mr. Si ward wouM b tho choice of tlit parly. As a natural consequent tlie Pomoorurr pre pared t!iemwlci with a full armament of fulkclioodn, ixrreraioni, aad mystifinitions, which they fondly bojied would I swal lowed by the more Ignorant portion of our voting populution ai id many proofs of Mr. Howard's treason and abolitionism, while their hair-splitting generalities were in ton.led to corcr np tbeir attacks on the Treasury and tho Constitution. While lousting of their nationnl proclivities, they litjKid to cover up their really sectional In tention; while promising retrenchment aud reform they were up to their clhous In the Treasury, and while promising every thing for the future they wero striving to cover up past UHniiencios. Aud above nil, they founded their hopes of success on the prejudices ol the Ignorant. lint tho wind was taksn out of their mill) Ly Mr. Lincoln's nomination. Their (;rent political colnmldnds, filled to the lirim with asphyxiutlnjr, mendacity; the pent up viultt of their Democratic wruth. tho venomous indolence which hud been fed by Northern servility and Increased by a continued possession of power, were ull left as dead stock upon their hands. The olijwt of their malignity bad escaped, and they were compelled to make preparations of another kind fur the defeat of Mr. Lin coln. ' While engaged In the work of creating new muguzints of " sound Democratic ar guments," tho split in the Democratic party occurred which bus ainco given the nation a new Insight Into the management, intentions, and past rusculitivs of Unit cor rupt, overhearing, and sectional organiza tion. Forthwith tho " two wing" the body having deserted of tho Democracy gave another apt illustration of the oM adage" When thieves full out, honest men get their dues." When it becumo ev ident that no coulition could be formed by tho two sections of the party, they turned upon each other tho filthy sipiirt-guns of their mulicn, which they kud at first in tended to direct against Mr. Stward, and afturwards against Mr. Lincoln. They now present a striking similarity to an army of Chinese who imirehed down tho Canton river to fight the British nitd Fronch, but who been in i divided between Triads (Doiiglusitcs) and Imperialists (llreckinridgers), and nt once commenced throwing the stink pots (a Cliiucso ami Pemocrutie weapon), which they had in tended to use upon their enemies, ut each other, mid thereby saving their civilized opponeuts the trouble of fighting them. Like two blackguard whisky-ganders that linvo been fighting iu a muddy street, they . call upon decent spectators for sympathy, and each lilthy object strives to make the crowd belicvo that ho is in tho right that he Is tho Simon -puro Domocrut. Each proves It to his own satisfaction, ami both return to their dirty work as to a labor of love. Fight ou, yo mercenary hound!-1 tear out cucli other's vituls, tell ull tho truth about each other (uiul as many lies us you plonse) that you can, and so provo your unfitness for future trusts. The people are watching your dirty antics with delight, and look ou your discomfiture with n placid Indifference as to who may prove the victor. Form your coalitions with Southern Know J Isotlnugs and Northern Doughfaces! Each wing knows tlio other too well to trust it. Your acquaintance is of too long a duration not to have taught you tho im possibility of brothers iu iniquity agreoing on a division of the spoils. Have ut you, then, yo bullying Disuuionists, and ye timeserving Doughfaces! Wo heed not the cowardly threats of tho one, or tho servilo winnings r tho other. In fifteen days from the (1th of November, the uews will come borne by the Pony, aud flashed nlong tho telegraphic wires that " Honest Old Abo" is to bo our next President, and then the Inst hound of you will be con signed to the obscurity of private life whilo tho Republicans will prove them selves the only truly national party, by an energetic aud economical administration ol Cuances, the payment of just debts, and by doing exact justice to all sections. Fir a A lakm. There was almost a fire Ut Sunday evening about 8 o'clock, at the house of J. W. Lewis, Esq., in this city.

This took place on lh Fair ground, north of this city, on Thursday and Friday of this we'k. It was the first fair ever hrld In tl.la county. The ground are iiw-rpl.lil of bring mado a beautiful pot; convenient of access from the eily, the river, and the country. The grounds adjacent would l- very flue, properly Improved, for the State Fuir. We have s.Id this wss our first County Fair.

Our farmers limit all tuku an Interest in the Agrh ultu ral Society, and they must bring art'eh of their abundance for exhibition. The Indies, too, must lake more interest in the exhibition. Tin r was a dearth of articles In their d pjrlinent. We nr sorry to sy t'ii but thiy know now whut is expected of tl.etn, und we trust they will not disappoint our rcu.snnuble expectations. Wc shall probubly give nn oflklu! no tice, next wctk, of the proceedings at the Fuir. tint tint At the hour of 3 o'clock yesterday mow ing, Smith's Foindry and Muchine Shop io this city was discovered to be on fire. (The timely discoverer wus old man Mun dy, a respectable 'friendly' Indian who lives on the bluff immediately buck of tho foundry, who lustily yelled out " House pirel house pirc!!") As tho entiio white .populution of tho town was abed, some timo elapsed before any well-directed effort was made to extinguish the flumes. For tunately thcro was no wind, and the build ing burned slowly. In the course of twen ty minutes McLoughlin Engine Co. No. 1 arrived at (he scene of action with their muchine. The progress, transactions, und heroic exploits of this company and its " extiiiKuishcr" ou this nio-t momentous occns'on desi rvo a paragraph. First, the soul-harrowing sound of the triangle, at the engine-house, struck terror and nflVight to the ears of the hulf-awukeu-cd citizens of Oregon City. After a time, a sufficient number hud congregated to roll the mnchino. As long os the route, to the fire was on descending ground, the engine ran finely, but once on n drud level, it dragged heuvily. (It should bo stilted, by way of accounting for tho remarkably expeditious movements of the company, that the distance between tho cnglne-liouse aml tho scene of the lire is only ono hun dred und twenty five yards.) After ad vnucing some paces, it was discovered that ono of the wheels wus locked by tho shirk of tho drag-rope getting jammed between it and tliu machine. This having been re- biased, the ' great concern ' rolled forward. After tho hose had been stretched, and be fore it wus uttiiehed, somo enthusiastic in dividuals enmo down ou tho brakes, throw ing several gallons of water through the open butt. Tlio hose being attached, it was discovered that the nozzle was still at the engine-house. After a time, tho ma chine began to play, and soon extinguished tho fire. It was noticed tiiut the bight to which water was thrown could not have been less than Iwenty-lwo feel I The usuul complement of foremen (twenty-five) was on the ground. The amount of talent ix huustcd by these gentlemen In unavailing threats, entreaties, expostulations, aud " missings, ' was quite shinning. The rule, " In a multitude of counselors there is wis dom," was fully exemplified on this trying occasion. Messrs. Smith hud been nt work in the foundry until 12 o'clock, and the fire had doubtless originated from sparks, nod been slowly burning till it was discovered. The loss is variously estimated at from $12,50 to $25,00. The citizens of the lower part of town have hcretoforo complained that they" could never know when a lira was in progress up town. To dispel all complaint on that scoro, some zealous individual rang the sonorous bell of the Congregational Church till Ion after most of the members of McLoughlin Firo Engine Company No. 1 had retired to rest.
