FOR CANAL COMMIS.SIONER,
SV,ILLIAM B. FOSTEIt,
OF BRADFORD COUNTY
cc7For Latest Netts, see Postscript, on second
page.
o:7The proceedings of the Tilghman Society
will appear to-morrow.
cc,The editor' of the 'Gazette; continues Mr.
HAmrroar's name at the heed of the Antimasonic
and Whig ticket, as a candidate for Congress.—
•The'dditor, we think; after having erased the name
pf ThOmas Rocky, from the ticket became ;a ma
son, will certainly not be co inconsistent as to call
upon the honest Antimas.Mis of Allegheny coun.
ty, to vote for Mr. Hampton, who is also a mason.
The Sons of Temperanv—The Gazette.
11'e clip the following from the Gazette of yes.
terday:
..Herels - a society bound to secresy with its pass
wonis and signs, its various officers, having its
ramifications twenty-three States, its . Subord
inate. State, and Grand Divisions, boasting of be
tween forty and fifty thousand members, with large
sums at their control,
,with all the machinery ne
cessary to accomplish any object,however unprin
cipled. and selfish, which bad men who may be
come members and leaders for that purpose, may
devise. What man of refection and friend to his
ountry,..will not say that such an institution is dam.
gerous to liberty, religious and dog, and that its exis
tents is a wrong and an injury to the uaitiatent+'.
It:is really surprising that an order established
for the express purpose of bettering the condition
of men and reclaiming the intemperate and vicious,
— should be thus violently and wickedly assailed.—
Here we have an editor, the organ of a powerful
party, attempting to show that the; order called
.Sons of Temperance is "dangerous to liberty, re/igi
ens and civil, and that its crisience is a wrong and an
injury to all the unitiated." Why is this? It is
%veil known that this institution has and ;is still
doings great amount of good. Why this crusade
against it? We have the pleasure of an intimate
.acquaintance with many of its members, and we
feellree to say for them that they would not for
. one moment countenance or belong to an institu
tion 'dangerous to liberty, religions and civil." If
„ the editor of the Gazette desires by his frequent
attacks upon "this new secret order" as he is pleas
ed to call it, to prevent persons from becoming
members, he should refute the arguments urged in
its favor, and not rely alone upon bold assertions
of his own.
Mr. WHITE, in an Oration-delivered to the Sons
of. Temperence in New York, a few days since, in
referring to the eerrery of the order says:
"Secrecy prevades the Universe; it veils the per
son of the Creator, it is indelibly written upon the
wonderful mechanieisna of his creatures. Who
but God can understand the hidden emotions of
the heart? And who,
possessing that heart, will
- reveal all its cherished contents. Would you re
strain the pious feeling that would steal from the
Social Pabel, to wrap itself in its sacred intusings?
Would you put out the fire of the spirit that ex
hales the incense of the contrite heart, as it rises
silently and secretly from an antipathy of earth, to
a kindred sympathy in Heaven? Would you in
vricle the sanctity of the private circle and rudely
parade; before a censorious public, the wounded
pride, disappointed hopes, misplaced affection, all
the charities of wedded love? Then place a guard
round every dwelling—a sentinel in every charn
ber—establish a system of universal espionage—
declare an open war with Nature—and tear from
the' Throne the sublime veil that envelopes Na
ture's God."
Here we have argumint—forcible and coneinsive
.2:gm:tient, beautifully and eloquently expressed.
Now for the reply of .the editor of the Guzette.—
He
"It t 9 unneEesiary for us to point out the trieked.
tins ondfolly of such an argument as this, to uphold
tenet Combinations for prircar purposes in a free got ,
ernment."
Why "unnecwsarr" If the arguments used are
reariq "wic!ced and foolish," and set fbrth j as the
editor alleges to "to uphold secret combinations for
private purposes," as the organ of a party opposed
to all such institutions, he should rather, we think,
. have deemed it his duty to "point out" its "wicked
ness and folly," and we doubt whether even his
party friends will Le satisfied with the naked
declaration, that it is "unnecessary to point out"
its "wickelness and folly." The editor, we pre
sume, however, acted wisely. Satisfied that he
Could not even plausibly answer the arguments so
beautifully expressed in the extract, it was prudent
in him to decline the task.
The extract from the Gazette . above referred to,
is certainly calculated to direct public attention to
an investigation of the principles of the order. To
this, we presume, its members will not object. The
institution is now assailed, and charges against it of
'the inost grave character have been spread before
.the country: The editor of the Gazette with an air of
triumph asks the qtrestion, "whet man of .rellection
and a friend to his country will not say that such an
institution is LISATGEROVS TO LIBERTY, RE
LIGIOUS AND CIVIL, and that its erietence is a
wrong and an injury to all the uninitiated?"
In reply to the above it is only necessary to state
the simple fact that quite a number of our moat
patrickie and pious citizens lielong to this much
abused order, and are its most zealous sod efficient
supporters. We cannot believe that the men to
whom we refer would for one moment belong to
an institution "dangerous to liberty, religions and
civil," and the fact that "good men and tree" warm
ly defend the order, we regard as conclusive evi
dence that the editor of the Gazette is entirely
Mistaken as to its principles and character.
VoLtrivrtzus es. RsucLans,—About two vveeks
ago a stranger, who was viewing the manoeuvres
of the Tennessee volunteers at Nashville, turned
to a bystander and said "it would be murder in the
first degree to put such troops against British regu
lars." The bystander looked him in the eye a

fence or a stump for them to rest."
Tux Potsoirriro oAsz.:—The N. 0. Delta, of
the 6th says, that Dr. Bertrand is-still engaged in
d:scovering thr cause of the: death of Fitzsimmons,
late first mate of the brig Ganges. As far, as the
chemical analysis has gone, it appears that the
butter used in cooking, contained poison:.We

200 Miles. One of our rivers is twice the size in

The Ohio is GOO miles longer than the Rhine, and
the Hudson has a navigation of 120 miles longer
than the Thames. The single state of Virginia is

so we Might go on and fill pages, enumerating dis

MAiIIRIAGE EN A STEAMBOAT.-lii the last trip
of the steamer Massachusetts from Providence, to
the latecelebration of the SOns of Temperance,
in New York, one of the gentlemen, of .the Tem
peramie band, was married to a young and beauti
ful girl, in the upper saloon of the steamboat, in
the presence of six or eight hundred persons. The
Providence Gazette, noticing the novelty, says it
was Well witnessed, not only_ by those on deck, but
thinks that taking place where the ceremony did, it
was ohserved not only by men and women, and
also the gods, but by the "little fishes."

been faithful and fearless in defence of principles,
which; from early youth he has warmly cherished.
I would further say that if nominated by the Dem

For the Morning. Poet
COL. 131 oLsa.--You will much oblige many good
old Antimasons in this county by publishing the
enclosed communication, which I offered to one of
our Antimasonic: papers but was refused a place
for it. .
Mr. Biddle;-1 was much pleased with the soot
sense contained in an article in your paper the oth- '
er day relative_ to the nomination of Mr. Rowley
by the late Whig and Autimasonic Convention.—
The violent course recommended by the editor or
the Gazette was very happily hit off, and the true
and only practitial mode of rectifying errors or
tricks or designing •men was correctly set forth in
your article alluded to above.
Does the editOr of the Gazette think he can
merely by his own •"ipb.e dixit make or unmake a
nomination just as he is pleased or displeased with
the successful aspirants?
The editor of the Gazette must have some per
sonal peak against Mr. Rowley, else why is he so
severe on him' alone, when Mr. Hampton is in the
same category. It is true, I believe, though Ido
not know the filet, Tnot being one of the fraterni
ty) that Mr. Rowley is a Mason and an Odd Fel
low. But is not Mr. Hampton an adhering Mason?
Did any body know he was a Mason before his
nomination for Congress? Did any of the old
and substantial Antimasuls of this county ever
hear -that Hampton was a Mason! If they did
not, then is Moses Hampton guilty of duplicity,
and his nomination is a fraud on the Antinutsona
of this county, and the editor of the Gazette is
bound by his own rule to call for his expulsion
from the ticket.
The Editor of the Gazette says, Hampton pub
licly renounced Masonry. Ido not believe it. nor
does any other antimason of my a:quaintance.
When and where did he renounce masonry, was
it in Somerset county? Certainly it was not in this
.county. If it was since his arrival in this county,
it is strange that nobody can recollect the circum.
stance, for it is only some five or six years since
he made a lodgement here, and almost any person
could remember an event of so much importance
as the renouncement of masonry by Moses Hamp
ton. Esq., if it had ever occurred.
In conclusion—for the present I will say, that
the editor of the Gazette must either take back
what helms said against Mr. Rowley,and reinstate
his name on the ticket, at the head of his paper,
or strike off the name of Mr. Hampton, and re
commend the assembling of a new Convention. I
consider both these nominations frauds on the
staunch Antimasons of old Allegheny, they were
in my opinion both secured by the workings of
the Lodge. 4,310RGAN."
Battles of the Bth and 9th of May.
We yesterday - published two letters written to
Secretary 31sac r by Gen. Z. Ts rton, in which a
detailed account is given of the great battles of the
Bth and 9th of May. Among the communications
sent to Congress by the President of the U. S. on
the 12th inst_ we find the following, which we pub
lish with pleasure. It w.ll be seen by the letters
of Major Actax and Capt. Brea/cat, that our
young friend, Lieut. HATS of the 4th Infantry, dis
tinguished himself in both. battles. The capture
of the cannon by Lieutenants Hays and Wood and
those under their command, as described by Major
ALLEY, is only equalled as a deed of daring, by
the charge of the gallant Capt. May, of which we
have heretofore given a very lull account:
HiAngrsETßna Ora iNTANTRT,
Camp on the Battle Field, May IU, 1545.
Sia: I have the honor to report for the informa
tion of the colonel commanding the 3d brigaile.
that in obedience to orders received yesterday, when
the firing commenced, the Ith infantry deployed
as skirmishing ou the right and left of the road, and
advanced towards the point where the firing seem
ed most lively, After rushing ou for some short
distance, it was discovered that the enemy were
pouring in a heavy fire of of grape and musketry,
from a small breastwork just in front, defended
by one piece of artillery, and about 150 or '2OO
mend Captain Buchanan being nearest this point,
and finding himself the senior officer, collected
some 25 or 30 men of the regiment; portions of
his own company, and companies 1), H, and K,
and he, together with Lieuts. Hays and Woods,
charged the work, completely routed the enemy.
and captured the field. The regiment still con
tinued to move forward until it emerged from the
thicket into the main camp of the enemy, contain
ing the headqnarters of the commanding general
of the Mexican army, their ammunition, some 300
or 100 mules, saddles, and much camp equipage.
I regret extremely to announce the death of First
Lieutennant R. E. Cochrane of my regiment, who
fell at the very edge of the camp, whilst gallant
ly leadinghis men into it
The nature of the chappziral was such, that in
going through it. it very frequently became unavoid
ably necessary to divide the regiment into detach-,
meets; each of which met the enemy at different
points, and always put him to flight. I cannot
pass over in silence the brave and distinguished be
havior of Lieuts. Hays and Woods, as well as that
of Sergeant Major Maloney, and Corporals Farrel
and lifTarlin, who, whilst their gallant comman.
der, Captain Buchanan, was busily engaged in deli '
ins buck the infantry, rushed forward with six men
to the cannon, and whilst Lieut, Hays was endear.
ouring to despatch one of the mules attached to it,
Lieut. Woods sprung to the handspikes, turned the
piece in such a direction as to lock one of the wheels
against a tree, and thereby prevented its being mov
ed, and succeeded in defending and securing it. The
conduCtof the officers and men on this day, as well
as on the Bth, reflects the highest credit nil the
American soldier. On the Sth, Capt. Page was se
rarely, if not mortally wounded; one man killed.

efficient asaiatance throughout the whole of both

Brevet Major, Comm'g 4th Infantry.
CAMP ON TUE BATTLEFIELD,
May 10 1816
Sin: In compliance with your request, I have
the honor to report that, in the deployment of the
4th infantry, I found myself in the command of
companies 13, I), and IC, on the left of the road as
we entered,- and having been ordered to cross to
the right and advance, did 80. After crossing the
pond: I had with Lieutenants Hays and Woods:
arid about 30 men of different regiments; mostly,
however, of the 4th. Upon deploying my men on
the crest °fate bill, I discovered ..one of the enemy's
pieces about fifty yards in my front, which was
defended by about 150 infantry. .1 charged and
took the piece, and attempted to , spike it, but not
being able to do so, took it back to a place of safe
ty. The enemy had a breastwork in my rear, and
opened a heavy fire on me, when, with about 10
men, I dislodged' him, and drove him across the
road. Too much credit cannot be given to Lieu
tenants Hays and. Woods, of the 4th. They were
among the very first to leach the piece, and to them
belongs the credit of its capture Whilst I was
engaged in driving the enemy from his breastwork,
these officers, with the men, repuised a party that
charged them in order to recapture their piece. I
cannot refrain morn calling your attention to Ser
geant Major Malonefs coolness and gallantry.
Every body did his duty noble as becomes Amer
ican soldiers.
I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
ROBERT C. BUCHANAN,
Captain 4th Infantry.
To Major G W. Amax,
Commanding 4th Infantry.
-We subjoin the following interesting extracts
from -o, letter of the regular correspondent of the
New Orleans Bee. Of theie letters the Bee says:
We pnbLish to-day highly interesting letters trrit-

teer corps, who before joining the artily, was one
of our most intelligent, steady, aid -skilful com
positors:"

CAMP OPPOSITE MATS:9'OEIS, May 28, 184 G
Gcxer.sstex: From the date ef. this you will
perceive that We are again on American ground.
though within a.stones throw of tire enemy's bank.
Our stay on the Matamoros side of the Rio Grande
was brief—too brief to satisfy the curious portion of
our troops in• the perambulations through the cap
tured city. But I suppose, it's all right; as the pol
icy of our commander is to annoy the inhabitants
of the place as little as possible. We are, however,
allowed to cross the river occasionally, in small
squads, and to remain fora portion of the day. When
I say we,, I mean the volunteer regiments, for the
greater part of the regulars, with the rangers and
dragoons, are on the other side—dividing the troops
on the two Sides. A company of regular troops
arc encamped on the public square to preserve or
der,
as is also a comp-my of Mexican citizens,
whom the general has induced to organize to keep
to keep their own citizens under proper restrictions.
You must not infer from this that the liberty of
the Mexican citizens has been in any manner cur
tailed—it is not so; for I myself heard Gen. Tay
lor tell a citizen, (who complained of an injury
received from one of his own people.) that he did
not nor would not, exercise the least civil jurisdiction
over the place, but leave them to administer their
own affairs so long as is did not conflict with his
duty as commander of an invading army.
Whilst atthe head-quarters, two Mexican women
came crying to the general, and entreated him 'to
release their husbands, who were prisoners in the
fort. He simply bade the interpretor tell them he
could not, and they went on their way apparently
not the least surprised at his refusal. A ranchero
also wanted the release of some servants, saying
that his cotton was full of grass, bu t his request met
the same success.
Captain Thornton, of the dragoons, whom, you
will recollect, was sent out some time ago to,take
obserrations, wbp charged the enemy, was defeated
and taken
.prisoner, is still under arrest, and will
shortly be tried for acting without orders. It is
not likely that anything will be done to him more
than censure, if that. He is spoken of as a brave
and worthy officer. Lieut. Deas was exchanged
for, though he was suffered to remain with the ene ,
my as a punishment for his indiscretion. He was
taken for a spy, and that was one reason why Geo.
T. used no exertion to get him back, thinking it
would be a bad Precedent. No one thought him so,
and attributed his singular conduct to a generous
disposition to find out what had been the fate of
Col. Cross.
Looking over the papers received yesterday, I
saw several attempts at a description of a rhapparal
but all incorrert. It is a series of thickets of ea.
rious sizes, from a 100 yards to a mile through,
with mu.skett trees interspersed with various kinds
of bushes, and briars, all covered with thorns, and
so closely entwined together, as to prevent the pas
sage of anything though larger than a wolf or hare.
When they are in the course of atravellerhe moat
travel around them; sometimes four or five miles
before he can make a half a mile on his route. In
the middle of most of them you will find a small
prairie with numerous beds of prickly pears, the
fruit of which is ollen ventured for by those who
are accustomed to its use, and “know the ropes."
It was in one of those prairies where Captain Wal
ker was first tired on in the commencement of the
battles—the enemy had cut down the bushes, and
drawn a piece of artillery to its edge, and planted
it just as Walker emerged from the thicket by a
mustang trail, on the side. In the large thickets, a
good woodsman can crawl on his belly, without
coming in contact with the branches, and thus ap•
pmach near enough to its outer edge to take a de-
liberate aim at an object in the prairie,
Foun O'CLOCK, p. m.
I ceased writing this morning, because I had
nothing to write about; put by my implements
and crossed the river in search of news. The
first place I went to was Walker's headiparters,
a place where all the news respecting the enemy
is to be found. Walker with the greater part of
his men are absent on a ranging or spying expedi•
tion, and when he returns he will advise us of the
movements of Arista.
On the other side of the river the war bill has
created qtiite an excitement and the Mexicans look
as though all hope •of sating their country from
being overrun is lost. Fifty thousand men they
think. will ruin Mexico. Our soldiers, too, seem
ed cheered by the news, and anticipate a brilliant
termination to their campaign, which a few days
ago they feared would end in smoke.
One of the volunteers was found dead in the
streets of iklatamoras this morning, having been
stabbed in the lark, and another is missing, suppo
sed also to have been munleretl. A Spaniard or
Mexican, was found dead in his house this morning
early, and his wife came to Taylor's quarters. com
plained of the deed, and pointed out the murderer.
lie was promptly arrested, and placed under guard
for trial.
We have a regular mail arriving here every 'nor.

HERR DRIESBAdH,
who is a native of Germany, and shin& at the head
of all tamers of wild beasts. He has been styled by
critics the lion tamer! as he has exposed his life be
fore this in taming the largest and most terrible lion
ever caught. This lion is at present in the possession
of Raymond & Wiring, and has repeatedly saved
the life of the intrepid Driesbach when exercising
tigers, leopards and other beasts in the performing
cage.
Driesbacb is the wander of the world as a control
ler of beasts; his pet tigers feats, together with those
of the lions andleepards have been beheld by mil
lions. Drieshach actually drives lions, harnessed in
his car t thus showing the supreme divinity of man
abiwe the nature of the brutes:
The moral and useful purposes which an exhibition
like this can serve, are perceived by all, and ac
knowledged by all moralists and thinking minds; This
