The recital of this note threw the Duke into an ccsta

PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1843
MORE DEVELOPEMZNTS.—The proofs Of the Gaz
ette's treachery to the antimasons thicken, and are now
so gloomy that no man can doubt but it was the design
and intention of the conductor of that paper, that a
Portion of the antimasonic ticket should be sacrificed
to gratify the demand; of the "masonic Whigs." When
we exposed the secret necotiations, he, with a reckless
ness of truth peculiar only to politicians of his grade,
denied that there was any truth in our statement, and
said that the project of a union was never "entertained
or thought of." This falsehood was fully exposed by
Mr. CRAIG'S letter, and in a subsequent epistle from
that gentleman, it was shown that the negotiators of the
bargain were both leading antimasons, Messrs. H.
I NIXON and JOFIN MCDOWELL; one of whom had been
an antimasonic representative in the Legislature for
two years, and the other a prominrint expectant be
fore the antimasonic convention for the nomination for
Sheriff.
This shews that it was an antima.sonie scheme from
its inception; the gentlemen who undertook to arrange
it were both leading antimasons, (and connected with
Mr. CRAIG in business, we believe); their project was
first broached to the head of the antimasonic ticket,
and if belied consented to the proposition, there is no
doubt but the other anti masonic leaders•would have con
sented to make any transfer of their party for the pur
pose of securing the vote of the whigs for a portion of
their ticket.
Our correspondent, "An Antintason," is anxious to
clear his party :rom the odium of this act, but we fear
the facts are too strong - against them to admit the shadow
of a doubt of the contemplated treason of the leaders.
The antima_sons of the country may thank Ngv tu..E B.
CRAIG for saving them from another "bargain andsale;"
if he had contented, the editor of the Gazette, and the
other leaders would have sold the vote of th , - antima- --

Communircifiono.
Messrs. Editors: I find the following imragrapn in
an article in the Aurora of Saturday, abusing Mr.
GEORGE R.. RIDDLL:. After referring to a falsehood
aptinst Mr. R., that had appeared in that paper, the
editors say—
"To be plain about the matter, then, we will say that
Mr. Hays never did directly or indirectly mention the
subject to us until after the publication of the charge in
our columns; nor did we know that he possessed any in
formation upon the subject."
As the friend of Mr. Riddle, I deem it my duty to
state, that some days since I had a conversation with
one of the editors of the Aurora, in relation to the
charge referred to, and when I asked him what evi
dence he had of its truth, he informed me that he could
prove it by DOCTOR Heirs, and I then understood that
he ( flays) was the Aurora's witness. From the above
paragraph, however, I now infer that he used the Doc
tor's name unwarrantably, and that that gentleman has
insisted on the editors of the Aurora giving a public
retraction of statements made by one of them in con
versation, which were calculated to injure Mr. Hays in
the estimation of his fellow-citizens, as it would lead
the public to believe that he was in collusion with Flinn
& ICainc, for the purpose of injuring a gentleman who
had never interfered with any of his private or politi
cal affairs. WM.., COLEMAN.
Mess: a. Editors—A friend has just placed in my
hands a copy of the Daily Aurora, and directed my
attention to a communication signed "A Democrat,"
in which I am accused of "having engaged to aid the
"election of Mr. Morrison, the whig candidate for
" Sheriff." Now, in reply, I say it is a base and un
qualified falsehood; and this the writer must have
known, if he knows any thing of my political prefer
ences.
JAMES A. GIBSON
Pine Tuwaship, Au:. P. 2, 1843.
Messrs. Ph;Zlins an / Satilit:—ln your article of
Saturday, "Compromise," you make several al
lmions to a design said to have been entertained by the
Antimasims to compromise with the Whigs. You
introduce a r‘rnar!: mule by the editor of the G w.ctte,
THAT THERE Was SO SUCH DESION ENTERTAINED
UR THOUGHT or. It only eLcis!s in the fruifza imag-
illation of the editors of the Post." You then attempt
to make out that this (.1.24Lial is a false one, and introduce
a conversation held. by Mr. Craig with two gentlemen
of Allegheny, who made a proposition of compromise
on the part of the Whigs. Now, gentlemen, this con
versation between thef• gentlemen, does not, as I con
ceive, prove that any design of compromising was en
tertained by the intionzsons. The two gentlemen al
luded to, came from the Whigs, and they made the
proposition of compromise. llad the gentlemen to
whom the proposition was made, (Mr. Craig) enter
tained it, tuidAnet it with a proposition of the same kind,
then would the Antimasons be guilty, as you charge
them, and the editor of the Gazette would have been
guilty of prevarication, as you allege. But, gentlemen,
Mr. Craig di i not entertain the proposition, for a m
meut—it was vetoed, effectually, as soon as it was
made, and en for as the Antimasons - are concerned,
their skirts are clear of all suspicion: - The editor of
the Gazette said truly, that, on the part of the Anti
masons, "no such design was entertained or thought
ef." It is true, that such a proposition was made to
them, but any party may have a proposition made to
them, without partaking deny blame attached to it.—
If the Whigs should make a proposition of compromise
to the Democrats, and the Democrats should treat that
proposition as Mr. Craig treated the one made to him,
would the Dem icrats thas "deveiope fully a project be
twe,?:, the factious to form au lion ticket.'" Y'JU will
,e; that you have done the Antimasons i kiu_stic •, iu the
view you have taken of the matter. Your prompt and
manly course in publishing Mr. Craig's letter induces
me to believe that you will place this matter in its
proper lights Akv s-LvitXasos.

DBPARTMENT OF WAR AND 'MARINE, 1
WASHINGTON, 16th Feb., 1843.
To Cvl Jacob Snirely:
SIR: Your communication of the 28th ult., soliciting
peamissirm from the Government to organize and lit out
an expeditioo for the purpose of ititercepting and cap
turing the property of the Mexican traders who may
pass through tins territory of the Republic to and from
Santa he, &•., hits been received and laid before His
Excellency the President, and he, after a careful con
sideration of the subject, directs that such authority be
granted you, upon the terms and conditions therein ex
pressed, daft is to say—
You are hereby authorized to organize such a force,
not exceeding three hundred men, as you may deem
necessary to the uchievem 'in of the object proposed.—
The expedition will be strictly partisan; the troops
composing the corps to m mat, equip and proxisinn
themselves at their own expense, and one half of all the
s poils ta k,,ii in honorable warfare to belong to the Re
itieli • itch tits C.- wertiment to beat no ex 'anise whatev
er on air mu atilt.. expedlli in.
The force may operate in any portiOn of the territory
of the Republic, above the line of setticm its, aad be
tween the Rio did Notre and the boundary line of the
U. States, but will be careful not to iafriag,e on the ter
ritory of that Government.
As the object of that expedition is to retaliate and
make reclamation for injuries sustained by Tea in citi
zens, the merrhandize and all other property of M .xi.
can citizens will be lawful prize, and such as may be
captured will be brought into Red River, one-had of
which will be deposited in the Custom House a that
District subject to the order of the Government,
and the other half will belong w the captors, to be e
qually divided between the officers andmeru an agent
will be appointed to militia the division:
The result of the campaign will be reported to the
Departinentrupon the disbandment of the force, ate's*
its progress from time to time, if prteeticable.
By order of the president,
M. C. HAMILTON.
Acting Sec'y of War and Marine.
Capt. Cooke preceAls todetail the masons which I t
operated upon him, in determining. to disarm this band
of Texans, found encroaching on American soil, and
commis4one,l to miird , r and despoil our citizens and
those of a friendly power of their hard earned property.
Having come to this determinatian, he informed Mr.
Snively of his views—that tow were in the U. State
that although it had not been surv,tyed and marked, it
was generally agreed that the lips struck the river above
the Caches, while some believed the line to be as high
as Chouteau's Island, 60 or 70 miles above the Caches;
and that no power in its warfare against another had
a right to enter a neutral's territory, there to lie in wait
for his enemy, tar there to refresh himself, afterwards to
sally forth to attack his force. his citizens or his proper
ty:- Pointing his attention to a band of men who were
then crossing the river to the south side, and referring
to the spies who had been found Oil American territory,
he said to Mr. Snively, demand of you, that your
men march across this river and lay down their arms
before me; then, as you say you are out of provisions, I
will return 'enough to you to subsist yourselves where
ever you may go, and you have free permission to enter
the settlements of the United States. The arms, he
said, would be held subject to the order of his superi
ors. He told him to go over to his men, and gave him
an hour to commence messing. Cot. Snively and his
Aid deprecated this course—said that by national law
they had a right to pursue an enemy 'twenty miles into
a neutral territory'—that they would be n danger from
2 or 3000 Indians, whom they had lately seen—that
they were in a starving condition—that a party of 75,
having become discontented, had leftthree days before
for Texas—that he had given them an order to save
them from being 'treated as banditti,' (by Capt. Boone)
and that since the 75 had seceded, his men had be
come disorganised.
Having made all his arrangements for an attack, Capt
Cooke advanced to the crossing place. The Aid had
been sent forward by Col. Snively, to signify his wishes
and address the men, but near half an hour had elapsed
when Capt. Cooke told Col. Snively to go and bring
his men out immediately a-foot, an 1 d-posits their arms
fifty yards in front of him. Tnis order was complied
with. The Texans had become somewhat excited by
the ad tress of the.i Aid when they were stopped, the
arms taken, they were discharged, and put into the

wai;on.
The Tavins now claimed to hay., surrendered as pri
soners, and 3 , )rre demanded an escort to the United
States; they were inform-a that such was not the case,
but. that they should have an escort, if properly appli
ed f(n•.
The next morning they were told that an escort had
been provided for them to the United States, hut many
pleaded hard to return to Texas, and 'offered to divide
the ten guns—which was acquiesced in. A division
was made; but the greater part joined the escort for
Mis.aairi—many of them crying out, "no more of Tex
as, "I'll To hum-." With the rest Shively was direct
ed td make his way beyond the U. S. frontier.
The notorious Cll. Wariield wa= among the crowd,
and seasthe only en's who exhibited any thing like a
commission. The Colonel seemed to desire the honor
of surrendering to Capt. COOKE, in person, but this
was declined. Col. Warfeld's•comm;es'on cave him
the power of bestowing an unlimited number of com
missions (on citizens of the th.ited Stat e) to make
war on Mexico, and thus a Texan Captain e 1 ..w Clavis.
On the 4th of July, the Caravan passed safely into
New Mexico.
The prompt and effectual measnres adopted by Cap
tain COOKE, for the dispersion of this band of free
booters, for after reading the piratical commission. no
one will think them worthy of a better name—deserves
the pahlic approbation. as. we doubt not, his conduct
will receive that of the Government.
