States. • Your Convention, assembled at Philadel phia on the 4th of May inst. beg leave to ad dress-you. Called an obedience to a resole iion of the honorable body, which, at Bahl . More,in 1831, nominated William Wirt and Amos Ellmaker for the highest honours of America, we have to lament, with profound grief, the loss of our country in the death of the former, and also in the delicate and alilic led state of the health of the other. Many who have gathered around the na tional banner of Anti-Masonry in years past, are gone, some to the right hand and some to the left, as they are severally led by an tipathy or love, for other names and other standards. They swell opposing ranks with their numbers, and are leading to a severe • political contest, adverse columns, whose mutual woundsare the wounds ofour friends, and whose triumphant victories threaten to .overthrow the political organization of Anti- Masonry, and to dissolve the relations which .hold together the spirit and the body of the party. • •We acknowledge this humble state of our affairs, and neither despair nor allow our. , selves to be disheartened,respecting, the final triumph of our principles. These will ever live and flourish in the bosom which loves truth and hates a lie; and will forever abide with the political party that holds every pub lic body accountable to the people, and that •hates the machinations of designing men, whether cloaked in midnight darkness, or vaunting hi the name Of - Chanty ut noon day. Seeing that our party is dissolved into its elements inthe State of New York, and that it is divided in Vermont on the names of men not well known to us as Anti-Masons; and that in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania steps have been taken by our friends that we can neither approve nor sanction, nor in any measure follow, our duty is plain, either to reorganize the party throughout the several States, or to abandon the pplitical contest forever. To 'reorganize for the present election of Chief Magistrate ofAlie Union would array small band in the several States against the - . 'great majority, who aro already committed 'on the Presidential question,and would prob. disappoint the hopes of the multitude of :our friends, without any essential benefit to the cause of Anti-Masonry. Wm regret the haste of many to commit Anti-Masonry, by States, to the support of some favorite can didate for the Presidency. We regard it - as' a dereliction from the established princi ples of our organization, which has intro duced confusion into our ranks, and reduced the party to the necessity of dividing its strength between opposing forces,and it corn .pels us either to abstain for the present, from supporting the candidate of our choice for the Presidency, or by supporting him with an independent e:ectoral ticket, to multiply - divisions, and to break the staff of the. hope of several Anti Masonic States. It is with the deepest regret that we see the Anti-Masons of different States organiz ed both to support and to oppose the same individual, sinking their Anti-Masonry in -the conflicts of other parties, and being con sequently brought in one State, into open collision with their brethren in another State; and even in the same State organizing in different divisions and subdivisions, one act ing against the, other, is the legitimate fruit of that presumption which refuses to submit the differences of opinion to the decision of a Convention, to which all parties were to be fully tepresented; and the bitterness ofspirit, 4he strife,, the reproachful words among 4•W rethren, to which it gives rise, can never x lam, enough deplored. Not willing to Create new divisions—not 'willing to adopt either side of a political con. •,‘ troversy between our brethren,and to irritate wounds already given and received,we deem it our duty to refrain from taking a part in the coming Presidential election, either by seconding any ofthe several nominations al ready made, 'or by substituting any new one in their stead. We consult for peace in the approaching electoral contest, by cast ing a silent vote for whom we please; and we earnestly recommend to the opposing Anti-Masons to conduct their warfare one with another, as to be able, when this con troversy has passed, to unite with us, and • with all the opponents of secret societies, in the election of men whose Anti-Masonry is tried,whose talents are acknowledged,whose integrity is undisputed, whose firmness and courage are proved, whose experience in public affairs is great, and whose name is known, and whose services to the cause of Anti-Masonry make him dear to its advo cates throughout the United States. Why should we go after strangers when our own ranks furnish such on whom to unite every vote of the determined opponents of political jugglery, and sworn orders of aristocracy, one rising above another to a sublime height of seeming glory, and really descending one below another to an extreme depth of depravity? Much has been gained to our cause since the last Presidential election. No Free- Mason this time offers, or is urged,as a can didate before the people, for the Presidency. • ,Three .have expressed such disapprobation of Secret Societies, as to have induced many • of our ablest friends and most zealous fellow labourers, to advocate theirseveral election, r.. on Anti-Masonic grounds—Daniel Webster, William H. Harrison and Militia Vain Bo ren. More than this; the legislatures of se veral States haveenacted special laws against rite tuitninist ration of ett a-judicial oat hs,ex prtsly aimed at the illegal and profane oaths Of nee-Masonry. " Other State legislatures nig following this example. The pride of = '!thelpdges is greatly abased. The sons of Abiff, once so vuin of their heathen Itieri,ate no longer careful to own their :-Ilyrisa'extracnon. They give the"token and limiting, sign oft Free-slasen, chiefly by fu TO THE T,HE GETTYSBURG s - rritit REPUBLICAN BANNER,. rictus denunciation of Anti-Masonry. Their great confidence in the "handmaid of reli gion" has much abated; . iind the glory of I "the most ancient and honorable fraternity" is reduced to the time of the very last centu ry, and to the shame of_ an alehouse birth and education and abiding place. The British Parliament, by their recent suppression of the Orange Lodges,have sol emnly expressed the abhorrence of that great and enlightened people for the ttnhallowed designs hatched by political bravoes in the secret chambers of the lodges. The time is at hand when all enlightened nations and people must entertain similar abhorrence of the real aim of men who cover their meet ings with darkness, with a drawn sword,and with an impious oath. We, therefore,respect fully recommend to the Anti- Masons,pf the United States to pre serve their political organization; to make themselves friends among the people by a firm adherence to Anti-Masonic principles, whether the effect is to favor or to injure one party or another, in the confident hope that such a course will enable the Anti-Masons of the several States, at a future day, to con centrate their whole strength on one candi date,known to the world, and identified with our cnuse—a cause which originated in righteous opposition to high-handed vio lence, and rests eself on maintaining "THE SUPREMACY OF THE LAWS.

The New Orleans papers ot the 9th inst., which arrived yesterday, contain the annex ed accounts from Texas, BY WHICH THE RE PORT OF THE ROUTE Or. Tun MEXICAN ARMY AND THE CAPTURE OF SANTA ANNA IS FUL LY CONFIRMED AND PLACED BEYOND DOUBT. It will he seen that the intelligence was con firmed at New Orleans,by Col. ALEXANDER [lollsTory, a brother of the Commander•in chief and an officer of the Government.— The New Orleans papers unite in giving im plicit credit to it, and state that it is corrob orated by numerous letters from officers of the Texan army. The short duration of the battle and the great loss of the Mexicans are easily accounted for, when we recollect that it was by the riflemen of the West that the victory was achieved. From the Now Orleans Advertiser of May 9 By the arrival of the steamer Swiss Boy, yesterday; we received the annexed, for which wo are indebted to the kindness of Capt. Walker, who came passenger by the above boat. It was written by Col. Hock len, of the Texan army, to a friend in Nat chitoches:-- SIR-I have but a moment to give you an account of our victory. . Our spies having taken a courier and officer on the 19th, who informed us that Gen. Santa Anna and his army were across the San Jacinto, at this point, we immediately took up our line of march, and reached that place on the morn ing of the 20th; the day was passed in re connoitering the enemy. Some few shots during the time having been exchanged 69- tween the artillery without much effect on either nide=on the morning of the 21st, the enemy commenced manceuvering, and we expected to be attacked in our camp,as they had received a reinforcement of 500 men, which made them 1200 strong; but they settled down and continued throwing up a breastwork,that they commenced at the first news of our approach. We commenced the, attack upon them at half past 4 o'clock, P. M. by a hot fire from' our artillery, consist ing of two ordinnry 4 pounders. The ene my returned our fire with a long brass 9 pounder. Our first fire havingcarried away their powder box, caused their loud shouting to cease. We marched up within 175 yards, limbered our pieces and gave them the grape and canister, while our brave riflemen pour'. ed in their deadly fire. In fifteen minutes the enemy were flying in every direction, and were hotly pursued by us. They left 500 of their slain behind them. Never was there a victory more complete. Gen. Ccs was taken, and killed by a pistol ball from one of our men, who instantly recognized him. Gen. Santa Anna was taken the next day about ten miles from the place of action, by some of our spies, who, on being brought forward immediately requested to see Gen. Houston. I happened to be passing at the time ho was conveyed to Gen. Houston,who was lying on a bed in his tent, having been wounded in the aciion, and heard them say "we surrender into your hands Gem Santa Anna, Governor of the republic of Mexico." He was then ordered to call in his aids,who were nearly all taken, amongst whom was Alimonte. There was then propositions made, of which you will have the details by express. :Houston was wounded in the ancle by a musket ball in the early part of the engage. ment; hut remained on his horse until it ter. initiated. There is a list of the names of the Mexican prisoners, which shall be tracts• milted you by express; they amount to near• ly GOO, among whom are six women. FURTHER PARTICULARS. By the arrtval of the steamer Caspian, last night, we have received further cenfir• 'nation of the defeat and capture of Santa Anna and his army, the particulars of which will be seen elsewhere. .Col. Houston,who came passenger in the C. also states that it was reported Santa Anna had made thefol lowing propositions to Gent Houston for his release, viz: That he will pay all the indem• nity for the war--recognize Texas as an independent State, besides Ordering the re maining part of histroops, at present station ed in different parts.of Texas, to assemble immediately, and lay down their arms; and that Houston's reply was, that Santa Anna, his officers, and the remaining part of his forces, should be shot as soon as the latter would make their appearance. From the Now Orleans Bulletin or May 9 TEXAS. Col : A. Houston, of the Texian army, has arrived in the steamboat Caspian, and con firms the news of the glorious victory of Gen. HOUSTON, and has favored us with the following list of the Mexican officers wounded, and prisoners. Killed--G n. Castrillon, Col. Eatres, Col. Mora, Col. Trevino, Col. Duo Jose Nla. ria Romero, Licut. Col. Manuel Aguirre, Licut. Col. Castillo. Gen. Cos and ninny others supposed to be I killed but not yet (Lund. Prisoners—Gen. Antonio Lopez de San ta Anna, Col. A Imonti; aid-de camp; Cols. Cespedes of t he Guerrero battalion; Bringas, aid to Santa Anna; Poodle de in Pedreguire, aid to Santa Anne; Nunez, Valienti, Lieut. Cols. Felipe Romero, (wounded;) Valienti; Don Pedro del Gardo, Fernando tirrizi, aid to Santa Anna, Arcos, Encise, Mugla Don Ramon Curo,private secretary to Santa An na; also 5 Captains and 12 Lieutenants. Geri. SANTA ANNA Thade the' following proposition: that his army should lay down their arms, Texas Independence acknowl edged, the expense of the war to be paid by Mexico, Santa Anna to remain as a hostage. Gen. Houston had issued orders that a furt h• er advance of the Mexican army should be the signal for the slaughter of Santa Anna, and all the prisoners. The report of the terms of peace was not oflicinl.but supported by a great number of letters from officers of the army. From the Truo A morican, May Particulars of the Capture of Santa Donna the night of the 20th ult., after the skirmish between the Mexican and Tex ian forces, Gen. Houston made a movement with 600 men and all his artillery, and at day break met the Mexican foree 1100 or 1200 strong, also in movement, and gained a position within rifle distance of the enemy, before they were aware of his presence.— Two discharges of small arms and cannon loaded with musket balls, settled the affhir; the Mexican soldiers then threw down their arms,most oft hem without firmg,and begged for quarters, 600 or 700 killed. ('he offi cers broke and endeavored to escape; the mounted riflemen, however, soon overlook all but one, who distanced the rest—him they ran fifteen milles,w hen his horse bogged down in the prairie, near the Brassos timber —he then made for the timber on foot.— His pursuers in the eagerness of the chase, dashed into the same bog hole, left their horses end continued the pursuit on foot, following the trail of the fugitive, (which was very plain, owing to the recent rains) until they reached the timber, where it was lost. The pursuers then spread themselves, and searched the woods for a long time in vain, when it occurred to an old hunter, that the chase might, like a hard pressed bear, have "taken the tree." The tree tops were then examined, when In! the game was dis covered snugly ensconced in the forks of a large live oak. The captors did not know who their pris oner was, until they reached the camp,when the Mexican soldiers exclaimed, "El Gen eral! El Gefe! Santa Anna!" INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA. From the Mobile Advertiser of May 10 Latest from Florida--a Battle with the Indians. By an arrival from Tamp Bny of several of the Volunteer Troops from this State last night, we learn that a serious battle was fought about twelve miles from Fort Brooke, on the 27th April, with the Indians. The engagement was between the regiment of Volunteers from Tuscaloosa, principally un der the command of Col. T. B. Childers, of Tuscaloosa, and as near ns could be judged about 400 Indians. We have not learned all the part iculars— only that the Indians were routed wiih about 260 killed and wounded, and only 3 killed and 24 wounded on our side. The Indians attacked the regiment while under march and by surprise. We shall learn the de tails by the first arrival, which will be to morrow, or next day at farthest, if not soon er. Since the above was written, we have been favored with the following official state ment: Arrived at this port, last evening, the sloops Eagle and NI agella, from Tampa Bay, from which port they sailed on the evening of the sth with the Fayette and Pickens companies of volunteers. De. C. L. Strot h er, Assistant Surgeon, informs us that a general battle took place on the 27th ylt., at Clonotosassa creek, near camp Chelton, between the army composed of the Alabama volunteers and two companies of the regu lars, and a large body of Indiana in which the latter were totally defeated and driven from the field. From a Postscript in the Charleston Courier of Tues day last. Further Particulars of the Creek DistepN , Lances. We are indebted to our attentive corres pondents of the Augusta Constitutionalist, for the following details of Indian distill bances, (of which we gave a short account yesterday,) derived'from an extra of the Columbus Herald printed at noon, on Mon- day, the 16th, and from the Milledgeville Standard of Union, oldie 17th inst. It will be seen that at the time the extra of the Hernld watt put to pres 4, n battle was being waged, on•tlie other side of the Chattahoo chee, thg firing•of which was beard in Co lumbus. Republicari Herald—extra, Columbus, Geo. Monday, noon e May 16. CREEK WAR INCIDENTS. In the Creek nation, at this moment, the scenes of Florida are being acted over. The wild savage, frenzied by the smell of blood in his nostrils, is prowling the wilderness, skulking around plantations, levelling the deadly rifle at the breast of the white man, scalping the unoffending wife and mother, and beheading the innocent, and unsuspect ing babe! We have heard olsomo cases which make the blood chill in our veins. A house, in which lived a man, his wife, and six children, was suddenly surrounded by a savage band, who entered (lib peaceful dom icile, inhumanely massacred every soul, securing the scalps °fall, and severing each child's head from its body! The house of a Mr. Colton was am tacked, and himself butch ered, without a moment's warning, or the least opportunity for resistance. We believe, in al, from Ibrty to fifty murders have been' committed, beside numbers of negroes on plantations. Fires have been kindled in every direction—farm houses, cotton gins, outhouses, corn cribs and all of value swept away from the honest and industrious plan• ter, who was laudably striving to locate himself comfortably for lab, and provide fir his children. The hostile Indians have been (bond as low down the river as Irwinton,and as high up as the Federal Road, or about. thirty miles above that point. The following towns and tribes of Indians are without doubt hostile; a part of the lichees, the Ilitchatics, the Pahlo-cholio. los, the So-wok-ko-los, and a part of the 1 Ufallevs. No-ah-Mathlee, Chief of the litehaties, &c. is full of ill feeling towards the white people,and determineal•on revenge. Old Neah Micco, the head of the Creek nation, must be considered as hostile, having been sent for several different times,to come in and hold a friendly talk--and as often re fusing to comply with the request. Col. Crowell has been acquainted with this old chief for a series of years, and they have been on terms of strict fi iendship. Neah- Mathlee refused to come in to Col. Crowell, and sent him word that "the ycung men of his nation were bent on war." The Indians have acted with a great deal of boldness thus fkr in this war. Notwith standing Fort Mitchell is wolf defended and picketed in the most secure and substantial manner, yet one night last week, the hostile foe approached within thirty to filly yards of the pickets, entered the hospital, and car ried off whatever they pleased. It was not deemed prudent, of course, for the officers or soldiers to leave the fiirtifications. Many friendly Indians have fled for safety to Fort Mitchell, and the pickets are now full to overflowing. On Saturday night, th - c mail from Mont gomery to this place, was attacked about 20 miles distant from here; a driver on that route was riding along the road on horse back, about 50 yards ahead of the stage, when he was fired upon by, as he supposed, about 30 Indians, (and from what he could discover, he thought there must have been at least 100 in the gang) who, wonderful to relate, all missed their mark. His horse, taking fright, threw him, and he thereby made his escape to the swamp. Soon after, he heard firing behind, and when he reach ed the next stage stand the horses had arriv ed there without the stage, having about them some remains of the harness. Mr. Adams, an agent,who was in the stage,made his escape; the stage upset, which enabled him to leap Into the bushes, and thereby save his lire. A driver, who was on the box (Mr. Green) and Mr. Russell, who was inside, it is sup posed, were killed. There were nineteen horses in company belonging to the stage line, out of which but three have been re covered, and they were pierced with several bullets. Not content with their foul deeds on "terra firma," the savages have approached to the brink of the Chuttahooche, and made their death marks on board of our steamboats.— The Hy perion,Captain Smytb ' while ascend ing our river yesterday, was fired upon by the Indians, some 15 or 20 in number, who had stationed themselves on the plantation of the Messrs. Abercrombies, about eight miles below this place. Eight rifles were discharged in quick succession, and at the first fire, Mr. Brockway, the fist pilot on the Hyperion, who was standing on the boil er deck, fell dead, being shot in the throat; one of the pilots, Mr. Smith, was badly wounded, and four other individuals, whose, names we have not learned. The boat was run ashore, and the passengers fled from her in terror and dismay. The old Georgian, whilst lying at Roan• eke, was set on fire by the Indians, and burned; hot a soul on board escaped except the engineer. The town of Roanoke was at the same time fired and burned to ashes. The citizens were forted in, and we believe no lives were lost. P. S.—We are informed that a contesiis now going on between Col. Spivy's company of mounted volunteers and a party of Indians on the Alabama side of the Chattahooche. A sharp firing has been heard within the last hour,and no doubt a severe battle is now being fought. An express was sent to Talbot county, this morning, by Maj. Howard, ordering a regiment from that county; also, a battalion from Harris county. Should these troops come, they will afford us great assistance.

Ile concurs with the Committee in their belief that the politically "downward progress" of the country "requires all the wisdom, the virtue, and the energy among us to avert the impending danger;" but adds—"l am not quite sure that toy wariiiug voice has not been already too often raised.

CnocKErr.—Tito following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lou• isiana, dated April 13:to a Member of Congress: "Crockett was found (within the Alamo) in an angle made by two houses, lying on. his back, a frown on his brow, a smile of scorn on his lips--his knife in his hand, a dead Mexican lying across his body, and twenty two more lying pell.mell before him in the angle." QIIEER ILLUSTRATION.—An individual inform 4 us that he remembers having seen an .old English edition of the Bible, contain ing, an engraving illustratiVe oflhie Scripture passage, "First pull out the beam out of thine own eye," &c., in which a man was represented in an erect posture holding a large piece of timber before his eye, about five times as large as himself. which he hap just palled out. One cannot but smile at such a design, t hough connected with sacred subjects. Wonder if the ingenuity of such an artist would be taxed, if' he undertook to represent a camel going through the eye of a needle. THE MORMONS A gentleman living in Loraine County, Ohio, writes that a more extraordinary sect has not sprung up since the days of Whom et. , In the town of Kirtland they have erec ted a stone temple at an expense of '40,009 dollars.

These 12 pulpits rise behind and above one another, and are designed, the uppermost row,for the bishop and his counsellors, the second lbr the priest and his counsellors, the third for tho teachers, and the Iburth or lowest for the deacons.

"At that time (says the Baltimore Gazette) war existed between the United States and Great Britain. A part of the naval force of the enemy had entered the Chesapeake bay, and the consequent alarms and dangers induced the Governor and Council to call an extra session of the Legislature to meet in May.

The Albany Mercury of March 16th, 1836, says, "the Saturday Courier, is decidedly the best Family Newspaper ever published in this or any other conutry,and its value is duly appre ciated by the public, if we may judge from its vast circulation, which exceeds 25,000 per week! Its contents are agreeably varied, and each num ber contains more really valuable "reading mat ter" than is published in a week in any daily. paper in the Union.

AtIiI /34 CLARKE, of Philadelphia to re publish in its columns, in the c9urse of a year, several of the most interesting new works that issue from the 'British press; which cannot fail to give to it a permanent interest, and render it worthy of preservation. To meet the wishes, therefore, of such of their subscribers as desire to have their numbers bound, they have deter mined on issuing an edition of the Courier in the quarto form, which will render it much more convenient for reading when it is bound in a volume, and thus greatly enhance its value." THE QUARTO EDITION. Under the title of ihe Panel:m.l , mA Mr anon, will commence with the publication of the Prize Tale, to which was awarded the prize of $lOO, written by Miss Leslie, editor of the splendid Annual the Token,aud author of Pencil Sketches and other valuable contributions to American Literature. A large number of songs, poems, tales, &c. offered in competitich for the $5OO premiums, will add value and interest to the stic. ceeding numbers, which will also be enriched by a story from Xliss Sedgewick, author of Hope Leslie, The Linwoods, &c., whose talents have been so justly and extensively appreciated,both at home and abroad. This approved FAMILY NEWSPAPER is strictly neutral in religious and political matters, and the uncompromising opponent of quackery of every kind.
