The herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1835-1837, 1837-01-11

the 3lst ult, we learn that Mr.. John M koO OF
Natchez has accompanied Santa Anna and Colonel
Almon,e from Natchez 70 vicksburg he has learned
the true causeof Santa Anna sheraton, and he has
been authorised as far may be interesting TO the
people of the United States TO make them public.
In view of adjusting the sanguinary war between
Mexico and Texas, Santa Anna solicited PERMISSION
of The Texan government to throw himself upon the
protection of the United States, and to claim the inter-
position of the President. He proposed to acknow-
ledge the independence of Texas as a sovereign ma
on-or to agree incorporate her territory into the
North American Union. TWAS absolutely necessary
TO lberate Santa Anna if his services were to be ac-
copied, as the Mexican government would not ac-
knowledge any treaty in his name while ne was
prisoner Nothing could be gained by the Iexlan
people by OBTAINING Santa Anna longer-much may
be gained by his Liberation. The people are tired OF
war-anxious for peace--lhey have taken the best
means to secure it. If disappointed, in the words OF
Mr.. Ross, him whom they have conquered they
can conquer again.
Mr. EpIron-When you going to stop your
damned clack about the pretty Seamstresses! Let
me know the day and date and then will buy again
vour impudeot Herald MERCHANT TAILOR.
ANswER-Wc think il is possible we shall stop our
| damned clack' when fund of $4,000 shall have
been raised to form reserve in the day OF calamity
for the "pretty Seamstresses" We have taken
very accurate lunar observation and we doubt if we
can leave OF our damned cack' till that time.
CoLmAN.-Chares Kembe has been appointed Il
censor in London, vice George Colman, deceased
The office brings an income of 500l per annum Col
man lost all his popularity upon the assumption OF
this Office From being perfectly profane IN his own
wrtngs-indulgng in saths numberlsss-he became
very sanctimonious and from the aspirants to
fame not merely eaths but illusions to Heaven and
and the Deity and every expression of angelic or an
gel, as applied to woman.
This cant called forth much Indignation from
the most popular writer's of the day-amongst the
rest Professor Wilson, in the Noctes Ambrosian4 OF
Blackwoods Magazine, held him up to scorn and con-
tempt, in some Of the most beautiful and pointed re-
marks which that gifted author ever penned.
Poor Elliston caused him much chagrin, by most
cutting cpistIe which he published. He had sent the
sanity ccnser piece and usual, George cut oat
every oath and allusion to any but earthly things and
sent it back Elliston refused to play the mutiated
piece, and upbraided him with his cant in a letter
commencing with the following trte extract from one
of Colmans own plays
| Dam me If il is not the hrazer"
| For our own part, we heartily approve Of the ex-
netion of all dammes; but to dash out the appella-
ton of angel as applied to good, virtuous, fond de-
voted female shows scared and callous heartbeat
and blind to woman's dearest proudest attribute.
NOBLE Acr-Some gentlemen Of Hartford, Conn.

burying ground of their forefahers Above 500 tomb
stones and monuments have been replaced and reno
waited Some of these are one hundred and ninety
1c.I and troAs
planted and substantial monument is TO be erected
in the centre bearing the names of the old settlers
This veneraton for the memory Of the dead Is most
audable and will make these modern " old mortnli-
ties" sharers in the fame which they are prolongng
to those who have gone before them.
