On the road he overtook two simple Jew pedlars whose ex hausted packs required replenishing, and who were travelling the same way. They . joined company in the neighborhood of n turnpike gate, when the Israelites were not a little astonished to find that Jack 'gave three twirls of his hat in lieu of money, for passing through it. One of his inns was now hard by; he proposed to go in and dine, but "dey coot not refort dat, dey hat sum good pred and slices in deir pocks, and vould tine pun dat, and caul him yen dey hat tun." gees Jack,dines sumptuously,chuck ling all the while nt the astonishir.ent which his follow travellers had exhibited at his nov-. el mole of diScharging his turnpike litre.— Having despatched as much of the good things of this world as he could possibly H stow away, he ordered them to be called; they had never looked on so superb a din ner before, and could scarcely credit their • senses•when he divided the bettor half of a . bottle ofwine between them: he then called for his bill with as authoritive a voice us tho' he had heeri prince regent himself—lt was produced; he gravely twirled his hat .three times. What is to pay now you_dog? Not a penny, your honor. JeCk led the way to the public road, the Jews following with uplifted hands!!! They proceeded onwards until they reach ed neither of Jack's hotels, when the severi ty of the weather getting the hewer of the Jews' parsimony, they accompanied him in, and engaged a bed, but wished no supper . (the pack was to be resorted to after they retired, jocular reader). Meanwhile, our seaman was feasted, shown to the best un occupied bed in the house, breakfasted in the morning, and the three twirls of his hat :..settled the reckoning. They pursued their march to the 'great city the enchanted hat rendering a purse Unnecessary. for Jack;until . they reached the last. stage. The pedlars had held repeated consultations by the way, and the result was that Jack's hat must ho purchased cost what it would; they had al ready felt his pulse on the subject but he was prepared for it, by what had incautiously escaped them at different times, and he was too cunning a bird to be caught with chaff His last inn was now entered, and the same farce acted over again; the virtues of Jack's beaver (by the bye it was made of woophad now ceased, and it would have been nn ac commodation to him, if otherwise situated, to have parted with it for a half crown; but he well know he could replenish his purse with it, at the 9Xpense of the .credulous Is raelites, who would have sworn upon the Old Testament, until they were black in the ,face, that it would enable the holder to eat, drink and lodge free, ad infanitutn. They Were now within a mile of London and the hat unpurchased. A few minutes more and they might be forever separated from this eighth wonder of the world—no time was to be lost they resolved to strike a bold stroke and offered 100 guineas for Jack's head piece; he laughed the offer to scorn. This made the luckless wights yet more anxious, and after a great deal of Niggling, a bargain was struck, whereby Jack got 150 guineas, and a new hat of one of the circumcised (for he was too proud to make his appearance bareheaded) for property not intrinsically worth eighteen pence! The money in his purse ; the new beaver on his head, Jack took the earliest opportunity to dissolve the eb : partnership by leaving our pedlars in the They exulted as he departed, and were not a little tickled at the idea of having over-reached a christian. They were now to eat and drink the best, and pay no turn 'pikes, so long as they both should live.-- They made up their minds to seek the best house and make a - fortnight's holiday.— Their circumstances and rigid economy had hitherto deprived them of the luxury of a *...4ortable meal, and they would now make 'll4ititiOselves ample amends for all former Fations—yes dat dey would. It occurred . r to- Moses, however, who had rather more sense than his brother Aaron (they were so ' , :iititned) that, as they were to put up at the first hotel, and live as gentlemen, they ought to dressus such. Fashionable second hand ed clothing was to be procured, and after their frolic was over they would dispose of thorn in the country at a profit. They forth- with repaired`to a barber's and got well shaved (for their beards had been in mour ning a twelve ruontli,)mounted tasty wigs— from thence bent tnoir course to Monmouth street—were accommodated with every fi nery requisite—cheap,dirt cheap—fixed up on a hotel—drove thither in an elegant hi red carriage—engaged apartments for a fortnight, ordered a magnificent dinner, and retired to - their sitting room, which was fur- nished with a pair of full length pier glasses. The coast being clear, they viewed them selves in them, and were charmed with the appearance; and well they might,for neither of them had ever before been master of a decent suit. "Mme got!" said Aaron,. "it mother Rebecca and father Levi, and aunty Ruth and sister Rachel, could only zee us now how dey vould stare!"

Suffice it then to say that they have lived Upon the fat of the land for the fortnight,and then determined to go to work again. In deed they could not relish a life of idleness, having never been accustomed to it. Their bill was asked for.

They had already tasted the sweets of Newrrate, and at the bare mention of it the hair upon their heads bristled up "like quills upon the fretted porcupine!" They were vet masters of 300 guineas, they pro.. duced their board, discharged the debt, and narrowly escaped being kicked out of doors. They were proceeding on foot to the Duke's place with all expedition, for a carriage was now no more to he thought of; when pass ing by a fashionable reading room,and hear ing repeated bursts of laughter issue there from—curiosity prompted them to walk in. Assuredly their evil genius directed them thitherward; for Jack had blabbed—the hoax he put upon them had found its way into the news, and had occasioned the taus terouoperriment which attracted their at tention-.

Mutter• County. o:7lFrom proceedings given in the Pitts burg Gazette, we find, notwithstanding the bonstings of the Harrison and Van Buren fragments ofthe Masonic party,there is some Anti-Masonry in Butler county! Sometime since wo gave tho proceedings of a !fleeting in one of the townships in that county, at which Anti-Masonic resolutions were adopt ed. Another wns held on the 12th tilt., at which DAVID SPEAR, Esq. presided,and the following spirited Anti-Masonic tesolutions adopted:— Resolved, That the majority of the dele gates to the Anti-Masonic Conventiou, held at Harrisburg, on the 14th of December last, in refusing to send delegates to the National Convention, and in proceeding to the nomination of candidates for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency, disregarded the call under which they assembled, and usurp ed powers not delegated by their constitu ents, and thereby contributed their mite to wards the destruction of the national organi zation of the Anti-Masonic party. Resolved, That we cannot support Gen. Harrison, because he does not possess the necessary qualifications for that high station to which he aspires, and because he is eith er ignorant of the principles of the Anti- Masonic party, or an enemy to their cause. Resolved, That the conduct of James 'Todd, in obtruding himself into the conven tion, by an unworthy artifice, merits, and will receive, the reprobation of every honest man. Resolved, That the Anti-Masonic party has too long borne its testimony against the interference of executive officers in the de liberations of the people, to be permitted, with credit, to remain silent while a most flagrant instance is furnished by one of their own party. Resolved, That the conduct and proceed ngs of the minority of the delegates to the ate convention is cordially approved by this meeting. • Resolved, That we will wait with confi dence for the meeting of the National Con vention at Philadelphia, and trust that it will nominate able and distinguished Anti- Mlsonic candidates—such as will induce the true Anti-Masons of this and other States to support them. Resolved,. That the ,contumacy of the Ninsoni e witnesses, Wolf, Dallas, and others, sufficiently proves the guilt of ,the Lodge, and their insulting conduct shows,that they consider themselves above taw, the people, and the constitution.

DFATI Sin:—Altlionull an entire stronger to you, I take the lilierly of addressing you on a subject ofvital importance to the whole Union—the Presi dency. As you will have already learned, the election in this State has resulted in the election of the Ant Nlasonic candidate for Governor, by a larva majority-30,000. More than two thirds of the Legislature are also Anti.Mosons. The wings voted, some for Wolf. and some Mr It itner. The masonic whigs were to a man for Wolf. The free whigs (most of thein) wont for Ritnor. The Whig party in this State is from 12,000 to 18,00(1 strong, out of 200,000 votes. You will perceive that the Anti Masonic party, (which is 80,000 strong,) is the only ono in this Stato which can at all contend with tho Van Baron party. No opposition cun,or will be started to him horo,oxcept under the Anti- Masonic flag. I have been thus minute, to show you the necessity of commanding Mot vote,if the union is to be rescued from Van Boron. The Anti- Masons, thus far, have been individually urging your claims to the Presidency. They did not choose to act US a ,early until after the election, which has just terminated. But they have done what has already been done here for you; and in tended formally to nominate you in Deconarir next. We had been led to believe that you were Anti. Masonic in your feelings. Mr. Kraus(. , , of Lebanon county, had so given us to understand. Thus believing, I was grieved to perceive, from your letter of the 6th of May, to our State Com mittee, that you understood but little of the evils of Masonry; or,as wo think hero, of the moans of suppressing it. I was not,however,surprised that you should be compaiatively ignorant of the sub. joct,ns you probably had never seen the proof of its oaths and obligations; but were, like William Wirt, until he saw tho Now York trials, wholly in the dark as to its rent nature. In order to ena. tile you to learn. from judicial proof, what Masonry is, I have caused to be forwarded to you,numbers . of the "Star and Banner," of this place, contain. ing decisive motifs of its nature. I trust you have doomed the subject of sufficient importance to read the evidence and the books thorn referred to. If so,you will be prepared to express a decided opin. ion of the merits of Masonry; and 1 trust will not think me impertinent in requesting you to give me your answer to the following questions. I feel serrie anxiety about the answers,as on them will probably depend the fate of the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, and of the Presidency; as I be lieve that will depend on Pennsylvania. Pardon nee thereforelor proposing the following questions, and respectfully requesting a distinot reason. Ist. Do you believe Freo-Masonry,and all oth. or secret oath•bound societies,evils,and inconsis tent with the genius and safety of republican gov. ernments? 2nd. ‘Vill you join with your Anti-Masonic fellow•citizons in dm use of all constitutionsl,fair, and honorable means,fur their final and effectual suppression? If you should see proper to answer this letter please make yours entire in itself, as it will be desirable to publish yours without this. As early an answer as convenient,is desirublo,as stops will soon ho taken to make a no:nination. You have probably never heard of mo—l con only say, I urn one of tho Representatives of this county, in the Legislature, and have hoen for two years past. Very respectfully, yours, &c. TIIA MMUS STEVENS. To Net. H. HARRISON. OEN. HARRISON'S REPLY. DEAR Stn:-1 had the honor to receive your let. tor of the 22d ultimo, on Saturday last,at the nio. ment that I was setting out on a short visit to my mily in the country. I avail mysellof tho first moment of leisure from my official duties, to an sn•er it; the file of the "Star and Banner," which you were soobliging as to send, arrived seine days before. The evidence exhibited in the case in which you woro plaintiff; contained many circum. stancos and facts of high importance, which I had not before seen and we o not calculated to dimin ish the prejudices I had holore entertained against the Masonic institution. I consider myself indeed the oldest Anti. Mason in the U. States. My pre judices against Masonry woro formed as far back as I can remember. 1 received them from my liither who was not a Mason, and he from his brother in law, Payton Randolph, who was ono. None of my family that I know of have over born Mnsons. Two son-in.laws have been members but have seceded, one of thorn upon my recom mendation. When I was in the army commended by Gene ral Wayne,a lodge was established by the officers, and several of my friends, upon proposing them selves as members, urged me to unite with thorn for that purpose. I resisted their sol.•citations,and indeed used my exertions to prevent their joining You can easily perceive, front the situation in which I was . pliced, that there wore as strong in. ducements to me to abandon my prejudices a gainst masonry as could exist. But although I was very young and inexperienced at that time, I remained firm to the principles which had boon instilled into my mind by my ventilated - father and which had their origin in a venerated wick. I have given this little history of facts to show you that my present avowed opinions or Masonry have nor been assumed for the occasion which. now demands the avowal.. HA liIIISBCRG, Dveembvr 21, 1533 CINCINNATI, 6th Nov. 1832 Your letter proposes to me two questions to inm to my official duties as a member of the Legis which you request decided answers. I lature. Ist. "Do you believe that Free-Masonry and all other secret oatli-bound societies are avils anthin- I consistent with the genius and safety of republi-. can governments." 2d. "Will you join your Anti-Masonic fellow. citizens, in the use of all constitutional, Car and honorable moans, for their final and effectual sup• pression." I have, I . think in the precedmir statement, giv en an answer that should be satisfactory, connect ed with the further declaration that I now make. that I will, as I have heretolltre done. embrace every proper opportunity to effect by argument and persuasion the object of the second question. To go further would place me in the attitut.e of a p. inn, a character which suits neither my ago, my habits nor my disposition and which I cannot assume, tbr the purpose ofpromrding the views of any party whatever, oven where their principles and opinions coincide with my own. Although there is something in the manner in 'which your last question is stated, which coupled with a reference you make in another pail of your letter to the sitnation to which r stand before the people of the U. States, that would seem to indicate that I migld use other inenns of putting down ma sonry than those which I propose to employ and which are entirely personal and individual, I can not believe that it was your intention to suggest that the power vested in the Chief Magistrate of the United Stales, could be used for that purpose. am far from asserting that the evils prising from sonry,da not form n proper subject for the de liberation and action of some of the constituted authorities °lour country. lint lam certain that there exists no such power either in the whole Government of the U. States or any of its depart ' merits; and that the attempt to exercise it would constitute a usurpation of power pregnant, if tol erated by the people, with mischieli: infinitely more fatal than those which it was intended to remedy. Such an assumption of power by the Executive oldie United States would clothe hint with that which was exercised by a Roman censor. No incomoderable portion of the Consular and even the Tribunitian powers fire already p,,s. sessed or claimed for him, and no these ho aided those of the other and inure dangerous office,whnt would remain to the Stale Governments or to the peopl-7 In despotic Governments it is it matter of little moment by whom or in what manner a remedy is applied to uin existing evil. But in a Republic it is better that evils of almost any char acter should continue to exist, than that the cor rective should he applied by an assumption of pow. or on the part adios° to whom the administration is entrusted. To a neglect of this principle on the part of the people the destruction of the Re publics, ancient and modern, is distinctly to be traced. It would give me great pleasure, sir, irthis an swer to your letter should ho satisfactory to my Anti Masonic friends of Pennsylvania. I am fully apprised of the obligations I already owe them,as well as of the groat influence they will be able to exorcise in the contest you deem "so important to the whole Union," For the first I owe them a lasting gratitude, hut I should be unworthy of their regard were I to attempt to secure the exer tion of the latter in my favor by the profession of opinions which I did not entertain or by promises which I did not intend to fulfil. In conclusion, I may be permitted to remark that my fellow citizens possess the means of test ing my devotion to the Constitution and Republi can principles by an examination of my mid not in the various and important offices with which I have been honored by the confidence of the peo ple and the Government. If I have in any instance betrayed that confi dence, if in the councils of the nation I have given a single vote or delivered nn opinion, or in the possession of Executive or military authority corn initted a single act derogatory to the Domocratical Republican principles by which I have always professed to be governed, then I will acknowledge that I am unworthy of the furthe: support or con fidence of my countrymen. I court an invostiga. tion. My votes and opinions aro recorded. My acts in Executive or military trusts,aro to be found in the annals of the times and if not considered authentic there aro thousands of living' witnesses to correct them. In relation particularly to the latter,can there be found a single individual who will assert that the authority with which I was clothed flr the publidgend was used for the pur pose of gratifying a despotic spirit or to promote my individual advantage? To these records, to this history, to these living witnesses I refer as furnishing a criterion by which I may be judged. And although, it may prove to be one which may be unfavorable to my reputation and may frustrate the hopes which my friends have fennell in my behalf, yet tt is a criterion by which I will be al. ways willing to abide I am with great consideration and respect, Your Humble Servant, W. 11. HARRISON. iIIR. STEVENS 7'o GEN. HARRISON. GETTYSBURG, November 16, 1835. DEAR SIR:—I received your letter of the 6th inst. in answer to ono which I ventured to address to you on - the subject of Masonry. I shall proba. bly not publish it,as it would create all impassable between you and the Antimnsons,which I am far from desiring. Permit me to say, with great ro spect,that you seem but imperfectly to understand or coincide with the principles which animate those avow themselves Political Anti Masons.— They oppose masonry, not merely from ancient prejudice against it, formed before they knew its drincinles,and which could of course result in no thing but inactive moral antimasonry ; but be. canse,having seen its oaths, obligations, penalties •and objects, they believe it to be a great moral and political evil; striking at the root of religion and equal rights; an evil which cannot be eradicated by "argument and persuasion" however cogent, but in this country onty by the exercise of the elec tive franchize, and executive patrone. Nor will they agree that a refusal to appoint adhering ma. sons to office in °elbow:tole States, is either di rectly or indirectly,a violation of tho constitution. As well might the practical exclusion. of any oth er class of men, whose principles you abhor, be doomed an infraction of it. It did seem to mo,that of or having soon the now evidence of Masonry, which I caused to be sent to you,a fair opportuni ty was offered you, honorably to declare your`op position to tho histitution,and your willingness to aid in its overthrow by antimdsonic moans. I re gret, for the sake of our country, that your judg. rnent led you to a different conclusion. No course is now loft for us,but either to aban don political antimasonry, orir3linquish the hope of making you our candidate. The former alter. native will:hardly be adopter as antimasonry hero is riot, as you seem to suppose, an "excitement," but the calm deliberate determination of homiest. men, to "persevere" to the final overthrow of ma sonry. Other great evils threaten us. But this we doom paramount to all. First, wo shall use our efforts to save the country; and then to infuse wholesome principles into its government. Ex cuse Inc, sir, for speaking earnestly on a subject, which a majority ofour citizons,as well as myself, think of vital itoportanco to our well being. I had ardently hoped; that by your' nomination,both masonry arid Van Burenism could have been do. stroyed at one blow. But ifwo can overthrow but one at a. time, wo shall attack masonry first, as being the stronger and more dangerous. I trust sir, you will. see nothing in the freedom of my remarks, but a desire to deal candidly with you, and if possible, to enlist you as o_ur ally and leader is this great work of moral and political reformation. Ido it the more plainly, as I. am nut ignorant of the great number oftimid or Syco. (Mantle admirers, who are constantly suggesting time-serving expedients in trying times.

The difference between us is really as 1 understand It, reduced to a very small matter ns to effea. IL is only essential as to a anode of producing that effect.

TIM WAR IN TEXAS: The New Orleans Bulletin of the 2 14 th 1l arch has the faowing disastrous intelli gence from Texas. The assault which re ,;illted in the re-capture of San Antonio by the Mexican troops was led m person by Gen. Santa Anna: IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS! FALL OF SAN ANTONIO AND MASSA CRE OF THE TEXIAN 'PROM'S! The following important documents were placed in our hands by a g , ntleinati just ar rived from Texas. Our informant met the express hearing the news we give, and from him procured copies to be published lor the inthrmation of the people on this side of the Sabine whose relati o ns and friends, kin and count ry men,a re now the victims of Mexican barbarity. Col. Bowie, it is said, shot him self; and Cu!. Travis stabbed himself to escape the cruelties of the enemy. Nobly they fought; dearly they sold their lives, but none escaped of the whole garrison of San Antonio. HEAD QvAnTEris, GOnzales, March 11, 1830. J. - W. FA N N NG,Jr. Commanding at Goliad. Stu—Upon my arrival here, the follow. ing intelligence was received through a Nlexican, supposed to be friendly, which however was contradicted in some parts by i another who arrived with him: it is there fore only given to you as a rumor, though I fear a melancholy portion of it will be found . true. Ausilma Burgina states that he left • the Alamo on Sunday, the Oth inst. and now -4: 4c is 3 days from . riches Banefl; that the Alamo was attacked on Sunday morning at • dawn of day, by about 2300 Mexicans,. and was carried a short time before suurise,with a loss of 520 Mexicans killed and as. many wounded. Col. Travis had only 150 iffee. tive men out of his whole force of 187. AE ter the fort was carried. seven men surren dered and called for Gen. Santa Anna and for quarter--they were MURDERED by his order. Col. Bowie was sick in. bed and also murdered. The enemy expect a reinforcement of 1500 men under Gen. Condilla, and 1500 reserves to follow them. Ho also informs that Ugartrehear had arrived with two mil lion dollars for the payment of the troops. The bodies bf the Americans were burned after the massacie—an alternate layer of bodies and wood underlaid and sot on fire. Lieut. Dickinson, who had a wife and child in the fort, after having fought with despe rate courage, tied his child to his back and leaped from the top of a two story building --both were killed in the fall. 1 hove little doubt but that the Alamo has Wien.-- Whether the above particulars are all true may be questionable; you are therefore re. ferred to the enclosed orders. I am, Sir, Your Obcd't servit. , (Signed) SAM L. HOUS ['ON. P. S. The wife of Lieut. Dickinson is now in possession of one of the officers of St. Anna. The men as you will perceive, gallantly, and in corroboration of the truth of the fall of the Alamo, I have ascer tained that Col. Travis intended firing signal guns at three different pet 'oils each un til succour should arrive-. No signal guns have been fired sit , ce Sunday, and a scouting party have just returned who approached within twelve miles of the fort, and remain ed for hours. S. H. W e learn further by the passengers of le schooner Cumanche, eight days from Texas, that on .the 25th February, the Tex.. ian Garrison in Bexar,of 150 men,command ed by Lt. Col. B. Travis, was attacked by the advance division of Gen. Santa Anna's army, consisting of 20(10 men, who were re pulsed with the loss of many killed, between 500 to 800 men, without the loss of one man of the Tex ians. About the same time Col. Johnson with a party of 70 men, while re connoitering the west ward of San Patrick>, was surrounded in the night by a large body of Nlexican troops. In the morning the mimed of a surrender was made by the Mexican commander, unconditionally,which was refused; but at, oiler of surrender was made as prisoners of war, which was acced ed to by the Mexicans; but no sooner had the Texians marched out of their quarters and stacked their arms, than a general tire was opened upon them by the whole Mexi can force. The Tex ians at tepted to escape, but only three of them succeeded—one of whom was Col. Johnson. Between the 251 h February and 2d March the Mexicans were employed informing en trenchments around the Alamo and bom barding the place. On the 2d March, Col. Travis wrote that 20 shells had been thrown into the Alamo, without injuring a man.— On the 16t of March the garrison of Alninn received a re-enfbrcernent of 32 Texians from Gonzales, having forced their way through the enemy's line, making the num ber in the Alamo 182 men- On the 6th March about midnight, the Alamo was assaulted by the whole force cf the Mtixican army, commanded by Santa Anna in person; the battle was desperate until daylight, when only 7 men belonging to the Texian garrison were found alive who cried for quarters, but were told there was no mercy for them; they then continued fighting, until the Avhole were butchered One : woman, Mrs. Dickinson and-a negro of Col. Tray's, were. tho only persons spared. We regret to say that Col, David Crocker , his companion Mr. Benton,and Col. Bonham of South Carolina, were among the number slain. Gen. Bowie was murdered in his bed sick and helpless. Gen. Cos on entering the Fort, ordered the servant of Col. Travis to point out the body of his toaster; he did so, when Cos drew his sword and mangled the fate - and limbs with the ma iignant feeling of a Ciananrhe savage. The bodk sof the slain were thrown:into a heap"in the centre of that Alamo and burned. The loss of the Mexicana in storming the place was not less than 1000 killed and mortally wounded,and as many wounded--nothing with their loss in the first assadlt, between 2 and :3000 men. The flag used by the Mexicans was a blood red one in place of the Constitutional one. Immediately after the capture,Gen. Santa Anna sent Mrs. Dickinson and the servant to Gen. thaiston's comp, accompanied by a Mexican with a flag, who was hearer of a note from Gen. Santa Anna, offering the Texians peace and a general amnesty, if they would Inv down their arms and submit to his government. Gen. Houston's reply was, "true sir, you have succeeded in killing some of our brave men—but the Tegians are not yet conquered." The effect of the fall of Bexar throughout Texas was electrical. Every man who could use a rifle and was in a condition to take the field. marched forth with to - the seat of war. It is believed that not less than 4,000 riflemen were on their way to the army when the Cum:Oche sailed, determined to wreak their vengeance on the Mexicans. Gen. Houston had burnt Gonzales, and fallen back on the Colorado with about 1000. Col. Fanning was in the Fort nt Goliad, a very strong position, welt supplied with mu nitions and provisions, with from tour to five hundred men. Tho general determination of the people of Texas is to abandon all their occupations and pursuits of peace, and continue in arms until every Mexican east of the Rio del Norte shall be exterminated. A gentleman who left Texas on the 19th inst. confirms the account substantially we give of the terrible atlifir at San Antonio.— St. Anna wns with his army, and subsequent to the battle of San A ntonio,offered the Tex. inns terms—to lay down their arms, receive general amnesty, and submit otherwise ...unconditionally to his government! Texas is now in arms to revenge the heroes fhllen in defence of her liberties. Col. Crocket was in the garrison of San Antonio, and Col. Jesse Benton it was also feared in the engagement, and one of the victims. LATEST FROM TEXAS.—The following was received by the passengers in the Cas pian, via N. Orleans The report received from Natchitoches, by passengers on board the Caspian, is, that another engagement between the Texians and Mexicans had ta ken place on the San Antonio River, which resulted in the Mexican's defeat after a loss of 600 killed and wounded. The Texians were under the command of Gem Houston. FLORID.►.—The last accounts from Flor ida slate that Gen. Scott left Fort Drane on the 26th ult. with 2200 men, for the With lacoochee, aid battle ground of Gen. Gaines, where he expected to meet Gen. Eustis with his wholo-army. Should they meet 'with no Indians there, it was their intention to proceed with their united forces into the notion. It is now generally believed that the object of Osebla (Powell) 'in proposing a treaty of peace was to give him an oppor tunity to collect his forces for carrying on th e war. A detachment of 200 men under Lieut. Col. Butler, left Volusia on the 22nd ult. to return the same evening; but up to the 25th no tidings had been received from them.— Fears were entertained for their safety.-- Baltimore Trans. FROM FLORIDA.-.A letter from Fort Brooke, dated March 2:2d, states, that Gen. Lindsay had received orders to form a junc• Lion with the army under Gen. Scott, nt Wythlacochee, and would set out for that place on the next day. Since the party of Indians who had ap. pronched Gen. Gaines's encampment with n flag, proposing a cessation of hostilities, were fired upon by a part of Gen. Clinch's command (who were marching' to the relief of the farmer,) nothing further has been hoard of the Indians; they had fled into the swamps. A letter from Volusin, dated 'larch 27, states, that the detachment under Lieut. Col. Butler, for whose safety apprehensions were entertained, has returned to the army of Gen. Eu.tis. Their detention was caused by bad roads. The body of mounted men sent in pursuit of Col. Butler; - engaged a body of Indians, and but for the cowardice of the lieutenant, the whole force would have surrendered to them. The Indians were entirely run down by the horses, when he made his men re treat. Three of the Indians were begging for mercy.-4bid. __-.0:0:0•--- ONE DAY LATER FRO3I LIVERPOOL.- The ship Argo, at Boston, brings a Liver pool paper of Feb. 27, one day later than before received. The King has given his sanction to the proposed measures in the House of Com mons for the - Suppression of tho Orange Lodges, and stated his determination to dis courage all such Societies.

KrThe "Bucks County Telegraph and Anti-Masonic Democrat" is discontinued. This is the fruits of trusting toamalgamation liarrisonisml For several years past, our friends in that county have very unwisely run coalition W hig Anti- Masonic tickets—Anti-Masons voting even for a Mason to be allowed one Anti-Masonic representative! Such conduct should and always will destroy the party.— Anti-Masonry can live by no such fraudulent hypocritical course. Could not even the office-holders be true to the principles which appointed them? We rejoice to find that that tried Anti-Ma son J. DuNoAri, Esq. stood firm to his prince ples. In Bucks, he is like a green spot i a barren desert KT - The "base compound" Harrison par ty charge the Anti• Masonic party with in consistency in denying the authority of the State Convention, which was called to elect delegates merely, to make nominatioi,s for President and Vice President, and thus de stroying the National Anti-Masonic party. They say that Mr. Stevens is inconsistent, because in his letter to Gen. Harrison he said "the Anti-Masons intend formally to nominate you in December next." All this was true; and yet it was intended to nomi nate him at the National and not State Con vention. At the time that letter was writ ton, the Democratic Anti• Masonic Nation al Convention was called to be held on the 27th of December, 1.'35. This fact ought to have been known to every Anti• Mason. But probably the writers of the charges a bove referred to, are not "persecuting" dis tinctive Anti• Masons, but only Whig-liar rison-Masonic Anti. Masons! Among those whom ignorance of facts or principles seems to have prompted to make thi9 charge, we perceive J. B. MrtLcit, of Fayette, (once Anti-Masonic,) and some writer in the last Washington Reporter,who is probably about such an Anti• Mason as two of the Washing ton Representatives! 0 - The Cumberland Advocate (a Van Buren paper) is violently (at least preten• dedly so,) "opposed to Banks of every des• cription." In noticing the establishment at that place of two new Banks, it bawls out, "the more the merrier!" and admits that "additional banking facilities give addition al impetus to business and trade of every descriptioill" and yet this same paper is the unblushing "advocate" of the unjustifiable warfare carried on against an Institution lo cated in another place, whose benefits and usefulness is not confined to one spot, one county or one State—but felt and extended throughout the whole Union! What base in consistency! what unblushing impudence! May Cumberland, her Banks and her Im provements continue to prosper; and may the "Advocate" be more than "stung with Yellow Jackets!" o* — Gen. DUFF GREEN, in company with others, has obtained n grant from the Mary land Legislature fiir the erection of certain valuable improvements in the neighborhood of Cumberland, in that State. We are glad to find that this fact is such a source ofg rail ficat ion to at least one portion ofa party that has not ceased for years past to heap upon the head of Gen. GREEN the vilest abuse and calumny; and that they have now arriv ed at a period when honesty claims from them a confession of their dishonesty, by de claring him to be a "high-minded, honora ble man—and a substantial acquisition to the society of any community." We hope other members of "the party" elsewhere' will profit by the example of their Cumber land brethren. Krlßich surprise appears to be mani fested by the Whigs, because JouN Davis, and one or two other Whig Senators, voted for the nominat;on of Chief Justice TANEY, a slavish devotee of Van Buren; but the reason is readily solved, when it is known that both Davis and Taneg are high and Ingotted Masons! Masonic Whigs and Ma sonic Jacksomren (or Tories, as their pie bald allies term them!) are always "united when the Grand Hailing Sign of Distress is given to help a "Brother" out of difficulty, or promote his Political elevation! , ►CPTbe "CAsxur" and "LADY ' S Boole for April have both been received, and are as interesting as any of the precedings num- ("* — Among the Acts passed by the late Legislature, it will be seen, is one incorpo• rating" ifarshall College at Mereersburg."

It is generally known that I belong to the Marion Volun teer Battalion of Butler, and of course will not infringe on the rirdits of the brave and generous Malitia, in beir.g a candidate for Colonel. Let them select from their own number a brave man, a man that has served his country in the time of danger, both in the field and national council, or at the bar of justice, or the bar of spirits. Such a man as that at their head with a brave band of music, making sweet melodious sounds and a general fire ofcnrn•stocks,would strike terror to the Indians of Florida, and I am no longer a candidate in opposit ion to TOM.

Butler, April R, 1836. /r 'The fillowing Is the addiess of one of the published letters remaning in the Bal timore Post Office on the Ist instant:— "Pat McMahon, the little Carpenter that got a big pair of whiskers, his wife keeps a shop, and is a Jackson man, and votes for the Union, and lives in Harrison street,after living near the market and works close by." The editor of the Repository says, "the Anti-Masonic papers of the State, are dis gustingly fulsome and servile in praise o Governor Ritner. They even exceed the collar presses, as they have been termed, in sycophancy to President Jackson." Those who have an opportunity of observ ing the contents of the papers referred to, will have difficulty in reconciling the above assertion with the facts of the case—they will, however, be at no loss to account for the peculiar tone of the editor on this subject, if they have any knowledge of the state of his political stomach. They will not be un mindful of the circumstance that the organ referred to, in a healthful condition, will be unaffected by trifles which, when overloaded with bile, may be sufficient to excite its "disgust." To the same origin, too, may be ascribed the cause of the singular perver sity of the judgment which pronounces the praise of Gov. Ritner to c'exceed" in fulsome ness and servility that awarded by the col lar presses to the President. It is not a lit. tle singular, that the only article the editor has given his readers in proof of his allega tion, is a small one from the Philadelphia Star, a warm advocate of Wolf's election, and still a decided opponent of the State administration!

PROFITABLE LEGISLATION.-A Wash ington correspondent of a New York paper says, that up to the date of his letter, Con gress had been in session 118 days. The time had been exhausted thus:— 20 days in debating the New York Fire Bill. 20 in adjournments, to gratify those who wish to indulge in parties of pleasure. 20 in talking about abolition, without any result. 20 in talking about Judge White, M. Van Buren and Gen. Harrison. 20 arguing questions of order. 18 in attending to the quarrels between Mr. Henry A. Wise and Mr. Polk, and be tween Mr. Wise and Mr. Bynum! Total 118 days.

The Bankingthouse of the U. S. Bank in Chesnut street, Philadelphia, was sold at auction on Tuesday for $388,600.

Steve►►s.—:A paper of a very suspirious character at Harrisburg, under stood to be owned by Mr. Strong, and enti. tied the "Antimasonic State Democrat," bUt better known among Anti-Masons by the name of the "Pirate Flag," is considered the organ of the Harrison party in Dauphin.— We have treated it as an enemy to our cause, because, though we have seen in it much vague pretension to Anti•Masonfl , we have never seen it attempting to vindicate the principles of Anti. Masonry; and it seems to have no zeal for any thing but for attacking those who were distinguished for Anti• M asonry when there was danger and loss in the contest. The preeminent object of its hatred is Mr. Stevens; and that circumstance alone is sufficient to stamp its character. Mr. Stevens,with al! his superlative qualifications, sought nothing, and wished for nothing at the hands of Anti• Masonry in the houre of its apparent success. He wished only to remain what he had been, a labourer and contributor in the cause. We would as soon believe in the treason of Washington. as in the unCuthhilness of Mr. Stevens. What. ever others may have been who had person. al interests at stake, we could not doubt Mr. Stevens' integrity ofpurpose without regard. mg him as insane. I fhe is unfaithfill,whom shall we consider faithful?—the Todd men, the bargain-and sole sharers of the plunder!
