posery, as a record of the great mans glory, and
ofhis country's gratitude and grief.
Resolved, That a colossal equestrian statue, in i'm.
perishable bronze, is deemed the most suitable fol
the purpose, to transmit to future centuries the fen
lures and form which the annals of the republic
will teach each new succeeding generation to look
with an ever-renewcd love and reverence, and an
ever-reneWing ambition to emulate his noble deeds
and nobler virtues.
Resoired, That, for the purpose of raising by vol
untary subscription the requisite sum, central COM
mitiee Of thirteen be appointed, which shall proceed

FATAL DUEL IN KENTUCKY.

BY letter from Harrodsburg Kentucky, of the
9Th instant, received by gentleman in this city, we
learn that a duel was fought near Harrodsburg, on
the 5,h instant, between Dr. John L. Taylor, of that
place, and his brother-in-law, Mr.. John Harrison,
Of DanvilIe; and that "IIarrison fell at the first
FIRE, MORALLY wounded in the abdomen" The diff
dculiy, it is supposed, originated in some domestic
Misunderstanding; and, as the parties were "highly
respectable" considerable excitement prevailed at
Harrodsburg and Danville, in consequence of the
melancholy result Of the meeting.

From the New York Sum- Sep. is.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO--YUCATAN
REVOLUTIONIZED AND INDEPENDENT.


REyOLUTlONIZED AND INDEPENDENT.
The counter wave in favor of free government,
which our Yucatan correspondent predicted a few
weeks ago, has been set in motion. The patriotic
and intelligent republicans Of that ancient country
are once more in the enjoyment Of an enlightened
system of selfgovernment for the faithful admins
tation of which their own stawart frames and vir-
tuons lives are the surest guarantees.
This gratifying intelligence comes to us by the
brig Joseph Atkins, Captain Higgins, at this port,
twenty-six days from Tobasco, Mexico.
On the 9th of last month, the Yucatanese, under
Gen. Barneo, took possession of a Mexican schoon-
er Of war; and having placed board of her all the
sMexcan functonaries and soldiers in that State, or
dered her captain to sail with them for Vera Cruz,
whence she departed Immediately. She had been
despatched by the Mcxicans to levy men and money
Tor the Texian war; but the people of Yucatan had
suffered too much already from the oppressive ty-
ranny the central government; an immediate sep
araton was resolved upon, and carried out in the
manner stated, without shedding drop of blood.
The State government at once changed to ma
honal one, retaining all the republican principles
