The IA& of Gilrernor „Marry. —The Albany Argue hits some partieu !ars of the brief ilhiew awl midden death of ex-Secretary Marcy. It says: • t;ov. 3larcy was spending a few weeks at Ballston previous to his de parture with his Wady for Europe. Uu Fridsy ho visited Albany, calling on Mx. Corning and other friends, and stopping at Troy to see his daughter. Mrs. Marcy was visting some friends in the West, previous to her departure, and other members of his ftuaily were absent with the like motive; and he was comparatively alone at the time of his decease. Ile was, however, in ap parently excellent health and buoyant spirits. It 41 only since his death that we learn of his having been conscious of late of palpitation of the heart, hut the symptoms had not alarmed him, noroceasioned uneasiness to his friends." A letter to the Argus, dated Ballston, July 4th, says: .Ile had been enjoying excellent health and spirits until hest evening, when ho felt somewhat, fatigued. This morning ho complained of a slight pain or " stitch "—as lie termed it—in his back. About 11 o'clock A. M., accom panied by one of our citizens, he walked to the residence of Dr. L. Moore, which is about one quarter of a mile from the hotel. He did not complain of serious indisposition while at the doctor's resi dence, and not finding the physician in, on being asked if a carriage should be ordered to take him to the hotel, ho re fused to take one, and walked back. On arriving at the hotel he requested the (Aloe clerk to send the doctor to his room ; and the doctor soon arriving was sent up to the Governor's room, but, on rapping, received no answer. " The doctor returned to the hotel office and informed t beelerk, and it was supposed that the Governor had gone to visit some friends in the horse. The doctor, however, after wilting a .few urinates, again went up to his -room, opened the door and found liim lying on his conch with a book upon his breast, dead. It could not have been more than twenty minutes from the time he was in the hots( office until he WAS w► found by the physiciam. He died, probably, of disease of the heart. Not a muscle was distorted, nor any article of apparel or furniture in the room disturbed. He haul pulled off his boots and put on his slippers." Funeral Olmegides of Hon. IT'. L.

Owing to the lard arrivals of visitors from other cities, the funeral ceremo nies were not commenced until 3 o'clock.

To proscribe a MID on acconnt of his religion or birth-place, is a relict of barbarism which no decent man should tolerate. And what is the corner stone of this wicked faction ? It. is laid in blasphemy and an outright' mocking of God.

At the same time that Know Nothingism professes so much respect for God and his relig ion, it inaugurated &series of blbodshod, and riots and murders heretofore MA known in America.
