Your friend and ob't servant,
MARTIN VAN BUREN,.

Mr.. Upshur has left young wife and
daughter They were not on board the
Princeton. Mr.. Gilmer has left wife
and large ftmily of young children.
Capt. Stockton has presented $4,000
to Mrs. Gilmer.
1t is said that the force ofthe gas, from
pipes sunk ,000 feet deep, at the Kena-
wha salt works (Western Virginia) has
been so applied that $50 bushels of salt
are made daily, without particle of fuel,
and as yet only half of the hot water used.
"This gas when set on fire at night, IL
Eliminates the whole surrounding valley.
How wondrous, how inconceivably grand
beneath this local surface, mighty,
vast gasometer, containing inhammable
air sufficient, if not covered with W.,
when ignited, to shake the whole Ameri-
can continent"
One Of the most crowded political (whig
and Clay) meetings, ever held in the city
took place in the great TabernacleChurch

TEMPERANCE.-The Burlington resolution
to request the County c. not to grant IL
cences to Inn-keepers, or retailers has been
in substance adopted by many Towns in
this State. In Brattleboro' four fifths OF
the Freemen voted for it.
In addition, we learn that the freemen
of Rutland, Springfield, Weathersfeld
Wardsboro' and Townshend adopted SIM
liar resolutions by nearly unanimous votes.
Tn Castleton no licences have been granted
orspirits sold fof a year past, except by apoth-
ecaries and no difficulty in sustaining public
house.

THE PROBABILITY OF REPEAL.

II will be seen that the aboninable bill OF
the committee for the modification of the ia
riI is artirlly drawn for the purpose of fur
nishing plausible pretexts to loco members
from New ork and Pennsylvania and Lou
isians to vote fori;. The Tribune thinks it
cannot pass. Someletter writers speak doubt-
insiv. There is certainly every reason to fear
it will pass the House by its strong loco ma
itrity, and there is some reason to expect the
southLrn Wings in the Senate will furnish
votes encGgh to carry it through the Senate.
Some Of tbs loco papers express the latter
opinion. But we eaDnot believe under the
present brilliant prospect Of the triumph of the
good cause that even a southern wing would
go counter TO the great principle of policy TO
which the wing party must owe its victory
Besides, protection Is rapidly gaining popular
favor at The south and west. Georgia. Tenn
essee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maryland are
already strongly tariff, and Virginia is turning
upon a pivot on this subject. Under these
circumstances we believe the tariff must sur
>vive the assaults made by the wreiches who
are attempting to bargain it away for support

his remarks upon the report of the select COM
mi,tee on the Rhode Island memorial. lie
denounced in strong terms the proceedings
of the Dorr party, and pronounced the
statements set forth in the memorial, as utter
ly false.
Mr.. Mckay, from the Committee of Ways
and Means reported bill for general re-
vision of the present Tariff. The principal
/ features of the bill are maximum of 30 per
cent. ad valorem until l545, when the maxi
mum is 10 be reduced to % per cent. Dis
examinations below this rate with view ex-
clusyely to revenue.
Mr.. iiuugerrord, from the Committee or
Retrenchment, made report fixing the pay
of members of both Houses of Congress al
six dollars a day, and six dollars for every
twenty miles.

WARNING FROM TIE GAILows.-

WARNING FROM THE GALLows.-Mr.
Shoemaker, who was lately hung at Fan
zeville, for the murder of his brother,
when about to expiate his crime on the
galIows, gave the following warning, which
were his last words:
"Let these, my last words, tell upon
your heart. Shun, oh shun the intoxica-
ting draught as you would the whirlwind
of ruin here,-the damnation ofhell here
after. For be assured it arms and pre-
pares a man to do the work of 6end.-

CRUMBS FOR LOCOFOCoIsM.

The Harrisburgh Argus, a staunch Lo-
cofoco paper, in replying to the inquiry
of the Richmond Enquirer, "Why is the
Argus pursuing so extraordinary course!
Is it policyl"-says:
"What! not policy to warn the party
of its danger-not policy to say that MIR
Van Buren, will be defeated in Pennsylya-
MIA, and carry down every thing with him
when our friends from every section of
the State, tell US that men who have voted
the Democratic ticket up to this time are
identifying themselves with Clubs that
are established to promote the election of
Henry Clay! If it is policy to let the
party glide on unconscious to its destruc-
ton, it is foul system of deceit that we
will wash our hands Of We have said
that Mr.. Van Buren, could not get the vote
of Pennsylvania Would the Editor of
the Enquirer like TO know aohy? We
will state one of cur reasons plainly frank
ly, bluntly and honestly, as one Democrat
should address another. Mr. Van Buren,
wrote letter to Mr.. Richie, on the sub
iect of the Tariff, that could hare prOStr0-
ted Gen. Jackson in the days Of his great
est strength in Pennsylvania. The editor
of the Enquirer will not credit this. Yet
his doubts will soon be removed as to its
effect upon Mr.. Van Buren,. However
palateable that letter may be in other quar-
tiers, it is death VGyrGnt here. We have
said that Mr.. Van Buren, could not be G.
lected President nor can he without a
Providential interference"
Yes, the Argus is right. That letter
of Martin Van Buren, is enough to seal
the political death-warrant of any man.
A man who comes cut and declares him
self opposed to the tariff in principle
and detail" as Mr.. Van Buren, has done
that man viii be repudiated by the Amer
lean people whenever he puts himself be-
fore them for their sufrages. Let our Lo-
cofoco friends who are Americans in prac-
tice as well as principle, read this letter of
Van Buren,, and then ask themselves if
they can vote for man or sustain party
which advocates such doctrines. Here is
the letter: -HGrtford Jour.
ALBANY, Feb. 2s, 1s43.
Ny dear Sir i thank you very kindly
for your friendly letter. | HAVE AT
NO TIME NOR ANY WHERE HE'S
TTATED TO EXPRESS MY DECI-
DED DISAPPROBATION OF THE
TARIFF ACT OF THE LAST SEES
SION, AS WELL IN RESPECT TO
THE PRINCIPLE UPON WHICH IT
is FOUNDED, AS TO IT'S DETAILS.
In good time you will have my views in
respect TO that and other subjects before
the public. In the mean time believe me
to be,
Very sincerely,
Your friend and ob't servant,
MARTIN VAN buren,.

THE LOCO FOCO TARIFF.

The treachery of the locofocracy to pro-
lection for years has been manifest to every
mind mot steeled by prejudice and jaundiceG by
party Il is now developed beyond the posi-
bility Of denial By the most ingenious of their
adopts in the arts of deception. After vir-
tually abolishing the committee on Manu-
features. the party set their revenue commit
tee of Ways and Means to work who have
reported a bill which so materially reduces
the duties as viii paralize every branch OF
national industry. Fer want of room we
shall present the notifications on the most
important articles and especially on woolens
and cottons which are however only speci-
men of diminution on every thing.

RAIL RoADs.-The bill incorporating the
Vermont and Massachusetts, rail road, so IA
vored by the Brattleboro people, has passed
both Houses of the Massachusetts Lesisla-
ture and become law. The Winchendon,
Keene and Bellows Falls bill has been reject
ed. The Brattlboro people are congratula-
ting themselves on their prospective prosper
ity from the event. The Keene people feel
the rejection of their rail road very Keenly,
and attribute their disappointment 10 the eff
forts of Is or 20 lobby members from Brat
tleboro endeavoriug to convince the legisla-
ture that radical New Hampshire would never
grant an available charter. They hope how

POETRY.
From he Georgia Telegraph. |
TO THE TEXIAN ARMY.

TO THE TENlAN ARMY.
s.rise for your homes, We gallant band.
Strike :or yoar homes.
Ampudia, with his blood-stained hand,
Again is marching on your land
Strike for your homes
Nerve for the strfe-a moral strife
Each manly heart:
Think of the hour, when some fond wife
MAY plead for even more than liiei-
Then act your part.
Think Of the sires from whom We sprung
Their bloody path,-
Their bold defiance, fearless flung,
Whilst DER their heads porentous hung
A giants wrath.
They threw their starry banner out
Upon the storm:
And breathing forth their battle shout,
Drove back, in many bloody rout,
The tyrant's swarm.
Turn 10 the DAYS ere Freedom fled
From Greece and Rome;
Think OF her many mar;yr'd dead,
Who rest on Glorys CORY bed;
And then, strike home!
Plant your broad banners firm upon
Your furthest holds
And when the gallant deed is DONE
Let life be lost or freedom won,
Beneath their folds
Where the fair Rio Neuces flows,
There make your stand;
Shout FANNlN as your columns close;
Then draw the sword, and deal Your blows
Heart hilt and hand.
Pom, 10 your field OF triumph. where
The lone star rose
Then lie, your blood-dyed columns bear
Right on-nor heed again the prayer,
OF perured foes.
Texas! her soil shall never be,
For tyranis sown;
From mountain summit 10 the sea,
Her iores, homes are for the free
And them alone.
