4. The unwavering supp , irt of the Anti
'Masonic cause as paramount to all , other

any other name.
Resolved, That the use of these means
has heretofore promoted the prosperity of

in several States, and by producing legisla

lure of secret societies, whose benefits are
'• incalculable; and that, thersfiire, the ike of
the same menus is to be costinued to the ut.
_ most possible extent.
Resolved, That though circumstances
over which we have no control to compel us,

the means of giving triumph to the Anti-

Resolved, That we earnestly recommend
our Anti-Masonic friends to hold fast to the

the Presidential, or any other questionsintil
'Such time as a National nomination may be

. Resolved, That we recommend in all ca
ses an early nomination of candidates by the
Anti• Masonic party. We have an object
distinct from and above all other parties,
though on subjects of minor consideration,

citizens. En no case ought Anti-Masons to
accede to the nomination of another party,
though other parties may consistently ac

Resolved, That the interests of the Anti.
Masonic party render it proper and expe

'into their hands, under the guidance of Pro
vidence, we commit the fate of the Anti
Masonic party of the United States.
. Mr. Enseu,• of Ohio, in offering an a
mendment to one of the resolutions, made
some remarks on the principles involved,
objecting to Anti-Masonry on political
grounds, and regarding merit as the test,
both of Masons and Anti- Mesons.
Mr. STEVENS replied with his usual elo
quence and force, removing some of the fal
lacies usually, in his judgment, entertained
-on that subject. He was caustic and severe
upon the late Anti-Masonic State Convon-1
tope, as well as upon the Lodge; but as his
sS st il', arks will probably be laid before tho
ip at longth,wo will not anticipate them.
: - Beach replied, and after sumo cornier
7*ttional discussion, and some very able re.
:i , ',7,;marks from Mr. Irwin, of Pittsburg, the re
solution %vas adopted.
Mr. IttiviN moved a committee to cor
respond with Gen. Harrison and Mr. Van
Buren, the nominees now most prominent
before the people, and ask them the question
whether they would, ifelected, appoint men
to office who were adhering Masons. This
:resolution was subsequently amended on
motion of Mr. Stevens, so as to read as fol
lows:
"Ifelected Piesidcnt of the United States,

The amendment and resolution elicited
an interesting discussion, and a was finally
determined that the amendment of Mr. Ste
vens, with the preamble of Mr. Irwin, be
adopted. Tho committee on correspondence
with the Presidential nominees, are Messrs
Irwin, Stevens, Dr. Simpson, Judge Ogle,
It.lsland, & Birdseye,of Ohio.
A committee of Finance was then appoin•

On motion, the thanks of the convention
were tendered to the late National Anti-Ma.

their trust.
Moved by Mr. Sedgwick, that the pro

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
Attack on Fort Drone —The . lnclions still
zn the Field
By an arrival at New York, we have Sa
vannah pnpers to the third inst., containing
later intelligence front the srene of trouble
in Florida. It seems - that the three divi-
sions of the Arm) have, after leaving Tam
pa Bay, again failed to bring the Indians to
battle. Gen. Scott has, thus far, been ex
tremely unfortunate in his expedition. Ac
cording to his official statements, t h e whole
force of the Indians does not amount to more
than six hundred men; and yet this small
body has succeeded in ravaging a greater
part of Florida, and despite the exertions of
Scott and his command, still roam at large,
and cuntirtue to commit their depredations
upon the inhabitants of that section of coup•
try. Indeed, it will be seen from the ac
counts that we annex. that they recently had
the hardihood to attack Fort Mane. The
news, take it all in all, is tiny thing , but fa
vorable, and affords but little ground to be
lieve that any thing has as yet been accom
plished by Scott.
Later from Florida, Mexico and
Texas.
By last night's. Southern mail,we received
Charleston papers of the 4th inst. New
Orleans of the 26th ult., and Mobile of the
27th. We have later intelligence from Flo
rida, Texas and Mexico. Lieut. Van DU.
ren, aid to Gen. Scott, and Capt. Forley,aid
to Gen. Eustis, arrived at Charleston on the
3(1 met. They informed the editor of the
Charleston Patriot, that "owing to the com
mencement of the warm weather," the cam
paign had been brought to a close. The
regular forces had gone into summer quar
ters at St. Augustine. There were suppos
ed to be about two hundred on the sick list
at Tampa Bay, and eighty at Volusia.
The regular troops it is believed will he
kept in Florida to garrison posts which may
be important at the commencement of the
next campaign.
The news from Texas is of a contradictory
character. It IS now rumoured that Fannin
and his band are still alive and detained by
Santa Anna as prisoners of war. Doubtful!
Tit National Intelligencer of yesterday
save in a postscript:—
"After our paper was ready for press last
evening, we were happy to learn that a let
ter had just been received in this city from
an officer of the army of the highest rank,at
New Orleans, stating that there was not the
least danger of hostilities on the Tex ian fron
tier, either from Indians or from the Mexi
can troops, and that the Governor of Louis
iana concurred fully in that opinion, founded
on the most recent information from the fron
tier. We infer from this that Gen. Gaines
has been misinformed and entirely mistaken
as to the fears expressed in his letter to the
Secretary of war, which we publish to•day."
FROM TEXAS.
The Nachitoches Gazette of the 14th ult.
states than an express arrived at that place
the day before, by which the editors learn
that a large body of hostile Indians, 1500 in
number, were encamped within 60 miles of
Nacogdoches, Texas. Great consterraition
prevailed through the country. General
Gaines, on the receipt of the above intelli
gence, issued orders fur - the marching of
eight companies to the frontier, to preserve
neutrality, and by a show or military force,
to prevent any aggression on the part of the
Indians. They left Fort Jessup at 3 o'clock
on the evening of the 15th.
The Now Orleans Bulletin of the 27th ult.
contains a letter dated Natchitoches, April
24. The writer says—"l left the Head
Quarters of the cominander•in.chiof of the
army of Texas on the morning of the Bth
inst. and have received advices from it to
the 18th inelusive. Gen. Houston was en
camped at Greco's, east bank of the Brasses,
with the main body of the command amount.
ing to between 1200 and 1300 men. There
were at the different posts on the river above
and below the main encampment, from 800
to 1000 men, making the force in the field
upwards of 2000. The army was well sup
plied_with provisions, arms and ammunition
—the men were in high spirits, and eager
for the moment to arrive when they could
engage the enemy,and revenge the faithless
and cold blooded butchery of Fannin and the
brave volunteers under his command. The
commander•in•chief has the entire confi
dence of the whole army.
The momentary panic occasioned by the
fall of the Alamo—the defeat nnd subsequent
assassination of Fannin's command, and the
subsequent retreat of Gen. Houston's corn
mand,had entirely subsided along the east
side of the river.
In the General's express of the 12th, the
army is said to have been at the Fort Ben
der,c rossing the Brtissus twenty miles below
San Felipe, endeavoring to effect a passage,
and that the main army of Texas would*.
rnediately fall down to that point—the moun
ted mill by land on the east side of the river
—the infantry in a steamer then in the river.
The official despatch continues—" Our
spies reported the force of the enemy that
arrived at Sin Felipe on the 7th as from
nine to thirteen hundred. Their horses and
cattle 'were almost worn down, and the men
are said to be greatly fatigued, and much
dispirited." , Ile then adds----" Our friends
who wish to share the glory of emancipating
Texas, must loin us quickly, or the laurels
will be won and worn by the little band now
at Head Quarters."
A letter, dated Camp Sabine, April 23d,
says—" Gen Gaines has just learned that
an emissary of Santa Anna has been in the
camp Of the Indians, and what the result of
this will be, we shall see by and bye. In
the ineantinne,he has despatched Capt. Hitch.
cock, will] twenty five men, and a flag of
truco,to the Head Quarters'of the Mexican
General, to warn him of the consequences,
and to stay his hand, if possible. It is not
very probable that the flag will be respected,
and the gallant officers who are on the mis•
fate f may share the cruel fate f many other
iiictims who have preceded • the cause
of Texas. If they do, wo nta An•

and if the good of the country requires it,
Gen. G. will mite his life in one hand, and
his commiss;on in the other, and carry die
war into the Indian camp ar , d the camp of
the enemy.
Santa Anna ' s army has been reduced to
a fraction. Out of WO which he had at
the commencement of the camp a i gn , 2000
or more have been destroyed—one thousand
aro now divided in the ditli-rent posts, and
the remainder will be at the mercy of Gen.
Houston, in a few days.
Capt. Quitman, with his gallant troop a
horse, arrived at Nacogdoches on the 20th
inst. He was followed the next day by
about 200 infantry,who will be strengthened
hereafter by Gen. Felix Houston. who is
daily expected with his Mississippi 'Volun
teers, and who no uoubt will be reinforced
by 300 men or more, between this and
Trinity.
THE MEXICAN MINISTER AND
PRESIDENT JACKSON.
The New Orleans Bee refutes the follow
►no anecdote—
Gon. Jackson has occasionally made admirable
repartees: that lately ffiven to Gorostiza,the 310x
icon minister nt NVashington, is pretty good. The
ambassador learning that the President is anxious
to recognize the independence of Texas, called nt
the White [louse and endeavoured to dissuade
General Jackson by various interrogatories—
"don't you know (said (;orostiza) that it would be
very impolitic - to interfere in a purely family
quarrel? Don't yen know that the treaty will
prevent the American government from taking
an active part in this affair; and that tho laws of
twit's will 6o violated if you recognise the inde
pendence of the colony? Yon should let the con
Lost proceed without any intervention: believe me,
the Texians are robots, and deserve no protection
from this country—they have connnitted acts
which dosorvo punishment: let therefore juslice
be done." This was said in n pompous manner,
in a tone half persuasive, half angry, by a little
infirm man.
General Jackson listened coolly to the minister,
and then added in a similar tone—"lt n ppours,4i r,
that your master is very timd ot . American blood:
do you not think this will cause him indigestion."
The president immediately. walked into another
apartment.

The Washington Globe "congratulates
the whole country, and especially the stead
fast friends of the Administration upon the
reception of authentic information that all
the instalments duo from France under the
treaty of July 4, IF3I, have been paid to
our agent at Paris. The amount thus al
ready paid is over three and a half millions
of dollars. This money is stated to be in
course of transmission to this country, in
gold, at the rate of about 200,000 dollars in
each pne.ket."
In reference to its distribution, the Globe
says:—"The utmost diligence is employed
in the bureaus of the Treasury Department,
so fur as consistent with the pressure of the
current business and the calls of Congress,
in comparing the names of the debtors to the
United States with those in whose favour
awards have been made, for the purpose of
retaining such sums as may appear to be
due to the government from such claimants.

Issued to all such as aro entitled to the in

of all the instalments, the nett proceeds of
the whole amount received from France will

amount due each claimant can be ascer•
tained.
BENEFITS OF MATRIMONI
I went to one neighbor and solicited a do.
nation for public objects: he replied, "I ap
prove of your object, and would assist you—
but you know I have a family, and 'Charity
begins at home.' "
I called upon a second: he replied that
such as were able ought to be liberal, and
that he had every disposition to aid me;
"but," he added, "there are stronger claims
than yours, which I am bound to regard—
those of my children."
A public charity demanded that a mea.
senger should be sent from the city to a re•
mote country. A person was selected whose
talents were well adapted to the mission.—
He replied that nothing would give him
more pleasure, but it was absolutely impos
sible on account of his family. He was ex
cused.
Two merchants, partners in business,fhil
ed. At a meeting of the creditors, it was
resolved that one should be forthwith releas•
ed; but the other, because he was a bathe•
lor, might yet, as was his duty, go to work
and pay a small dividend.
An insurance office was about to appoint
a secretary. There were, as usual, twenty
applicants. In the discussion of tho board
of directors, the talents of ninny were set
forth; when a member rose and said that
the candidate whom he should propose was
a man of moderate capacity, but that he
was a poor man 'with a family. He sue.
ceeded, and holds the office still.
A mercantile friend wished me to procure
a person to fill a responsible station. A gen-
tlemun came who seemed .well fitted for the
cane.. I asked him how much salary he
expected. He replied, smilingly, "1 am a
married man",--which I understand to be
fifteen hundred dollars per annum. He has
the place. No bachelor would have had
over a thousand.
Two criminals were tried for forgery at
. the Old Bailey, and condemned to death.—
The King pardoned the one who was mar.
ried,on account of his wife and children.--
The other paid the forfeit of his life—bp.
cause he was a bachelor.

OUR RAIL ROAD.
O.::7 - The York Republican regrets the
prospect, or rather hopes that none exists,
of two Rail Roads from Wrightsville to
York. Our friends of York may put them
selves to rest about it. The Wrightsville
and Gettysburg, Rail Road WILL be made.
It will be the great thoroughfare between
Philadelphia and the Great West, being
thirty miles nearer than any Rail Road route
that can be projected. The citizens of York
Borough, however, need bo . under but little
apprehensions about its annoying them.—
It will not touch their town. The necessity
for creating two Rail Roads along the York
Valley, arises from the fraudulent conduct
of the York County Representatives and
Senator in the last Legislature. By fraud
or Forgery, the Rail Road which was in.
tended to go to Gettysburg was made to
stop at York. And the citizens of that
good Borough, during the past winter, ex
erted all their influence to prevent only one
road being made, by reinstating the provi
sions of the - first law which were stricken
out by fraud. They, therefore, have ren
dered the second Company necessary.
The Republican hopes the Companies
will unite and have but a single road. By
the law granting the Wrightsville and Get
tysburg Road, the first Company had thirty
days to accept it and render a second road
unnecessary. Being composed almost en
tirely of Baltimoreans, who have no inter
ests in common with Pennsylvania; and be
ing encouraged by the folly of the citizens
of York, they refused it. Let them now
make the most of their Charter procured by.
felloninus conduct; and let York have the
pleasure of seeing the innumerable Cars,
Which will soon cover the Road to the West,
pass at respectful distance from theit goodly
town. They will then learn, that the ttelf,
ish policy which would make their residence
the end of the world, is shortsighted and
disastrous. Had the V rightsvillo and York
Rail Road Company adopted our law, they
would have received the toll of the whole
West. Now it is confined to the Baltimore
passenger*, who will he few indeed when
the Havrede Grace Rail Road shall be fin
ished, as it soon will be.
We regret that the honest Firmers of
York county should be annoyed with tire
roads. But they must learn hereafter to be
more honestly represented at fin rrtshurg!

AN AMERICAN OIL WELL.—About ten
years ago, on boring for salt water, 200 feet
through solid reek, near Burksville, Kem

which was thrown up In a stream of 12 feet
above the surface of the earth, emitting for
several days 75 gallons a minute: The well
beim , b on the margin of a creek emptying
into Cumberland river, the oil took that
course, covered its surface, and was set tire
to by way of experiment, presenting the ap
pearance of a river in a blaze. The flames
climbed the hills and scorched the highest
trees. This oil is very inflammable and
penetrating, and possesses so much gas that
it bienks bottles in which it is confined.--
The color is green but becomes brown on
exposure to the air. It is extremely volatile
end pungent, of a pitchy taste. There have
been two flows in 0 years—the last nn July
1A:35, from which 20 barrels of oil were
obtained during the time it continued. The
oil is readily separable from the salt water,
with which it is pumped up, by its rising on
the top of it--a rumbling noise precedes the
eruption. It is culled American Oil, and is
in high repute in Kentucky and Ohio: Some
•
say it is medicinal.
