the erection of the State monument of Ethan Allen,
did not intend again to take any part in the
controversy ms to the location of his remains to
notice any of the many absurd reports which had
been might be raised on the subject. Their sim
pie and exclusive duty was to carry out the inten-
ton of the Legislature by erecting such n monu-
mcnt, at the burial place Of Allen, in Burlington
The foundation is now completed on the site of the
tablet, which for years had marked the supposed
spot of hi. burial, and the granite blocks which
are to complete the column will without delay, be
placed thereon In finishing the necessary oxcava-
ton for the foundation (Which i. ten feet square

without finding any evidence of human remains or

excavation, about a foot and half or two feet
above the bottom, q few decayod human bones,
which, with others, which were taken out, made
eight nine pieces, consisting of thin piece

piece Of a coffin and nails also found, These
bones were placed under lock and key by Mr.. llar-

The Cincinnati Gazette of Friday gives the
following account of the release of Mr.. Con-
nelly, after his recent short imprisonment on
the charge of having aided fugitive slaves to
escape
A procession from the German Associa-
tons was got up with bands of music to
escort him at evening from the Jail to pub
lie hall where speeches were made and songs
sung till late hour,
Mr.. Connolly, in his speech, charged Mr.,
Stanley Mathews, the U 5. District Attorney,
who was particularly active in hunting
down the speaker, with having endeavored,
while he (Mr. CO. was out on bail, to incite
him to run away, and quoted from paper
formerly edited by that gentleman-the
Hodid-some remarks on slavery, in which
the then editor denounced kidnapping as en-
ergetically as he has lately upheld it under
Government pay.

New ORLEANS. The Vigilance Committee
have evidently lost control of the New Or
leans nd of the telegraph as well as of the
city. The tone of the late dispatches is on
quite another key. One of them describes
as follows the 'sad accident" by which a
number of the Committee were killed and
wounded, and which was not so entirely ac-
cidental an affair as was represented
a sad affair, however, occurred on Saturday
evening in which four members Of the Vigilance
Committee were killed and several wounded. The
Vigilances seeing patrol in the distance inistook
them for their opponents, whom they supposed
were marching on to attack them. Under this
belief they opened fire with cannon upon their
supposed enemies, with the above fatal result to
their own number.
The following is despatch to the Mer
chants Exchange, Boston, dated
New ORLEANS, June 10.
The City is quiet. A dozen of the Vigilance
Committee have been arrested Major Duncan,
Commander of the Nigilants, has been sued, and
the cotton which used for barricades, (and
which it is said furnished by New Orleans
cotton broker,) has been attached for damage done
to the Court Buildings occupied by the Vigilance
Committee, Recorder Solomon has been prevented

The Vigilance Committee movement seems
| to have been, in the main, a continuance for
securing the election of Federal Admins
tration ticket for city officers, and to have
proved a fash-out for that.
POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS.
When candidates for important public Of
fees are to benomnated. we are disposed to
give as wide IA liberty to individual commune
cations on a subject so interesting to the peo-
pie at large, as is any way consistent with
the size and character of our paper, without
regard to the question whether they agree
with our own opinions or not. The sent-
ment in regard to candidates, which per-
yades any considerable number of those who
stand in the same political relation, should
find fair public expression. By knowing
what views are entertained by others, men
find confirmation of their own or reasons for
modifying them.
In no case does the admission of a commit
nication imply that it expresses our own
views, either in whole or in part 1t may
do nothing of the kind, Our own opinions
are to be gathered from what we ourselves
say, not from what we allow others to say
in our columns.

Among the papers sent to the Senate in re-

during the present distracted condition of
that country, is a letter from Minister FORSYTH

three hundred thousand dollars.
Consul Chase, at Tampico. says we can ex-

everything that comes in his way. The lives
and property of our countrymen there are no
longer safe. He asks that a war vessel be
sent Immediately thither. Secretary Toucey
accordingly dispatched the steamer Fulton to
Tampico to inquire into all the outrages COM
mtted at that port. Capt. Amy reports that
he meets with good success in bis mission.
Gen. Robiez wrote to Gen Cass, Nav Sd.
that the Mexican government had received
information of the outrages committed at
Tampico, and requested him to assure the
United States government of its regret and
indignation at such acts. The authors of
these outrages would be tried and punished
according to law, as soon as the troubles were
settled.

HE Thirty SECOND STATE.-We welcome

We are glad that another Free State, full of
energy and all the elements of prosperity, is
added TO the present list. 1t is true, she does
not come forward in so fair a shape as might
have been expected. Two modern Democrats
represents her in each branch Of Congress,
elected, we are convinced, by election frauds,
against the will of the great majority Of the
people. Her two members of the House have
been self chosen by lot out Of three elected at
the polls. We are very doubtful OF the wis
dom or the conetitutionality Of that. Her
nominal Governor is actual postmaster Of

constitutionally dehed 70 commence from the
admission Of the State into the Union, yet

general satisfaction. Still, we are clad that
Minnesota Ia In the Union. With her popu-
iation and locality, Il cannot but be that she
will shed her politics in year or two, and
come out in bright, clean and true colors.
She comes nearer 70 New England in eli.

the Nor.h- West, and Of course she must vim.

BUSINESS Matters We are gratifed to be
able to announce that at the last accounts
from Calcutta, not a single ship was loading
for Boston, nor for any port in the United
States! Some five or six ships are now on
the way to this port, and will arrive within
three months, but none are now looked for.
We trust to be able to announce that there
are none on The aoGy soon. Our stocks of
goods here are amply sufficient for the trade
for many months to come, even with good
business, and we hope that, for six months at
least, our merchants will stop all importations
of India goods.
As general thing, there is no life to trade
in this city, in large operations. Jobbers are
doing, in many cases, as much as usual, but
on the wharves, and among the merchants,
much apathy prevails. Although money is
SO plenty, no one seems disposed to speculate
in merchandise, thinking that the leading ar
ticles are not low enough to offer any induce
ment. Our people have suffered so much that
they do not seem to dabble in fancy stocks on
State street, and they do not care about buy
ing anything but good ying securities. Let
us hope that they will hold to this determi-
nation, and not give away good money, un-
less they obtain something equally good and
sure. The quicker some of these bubbles are
burst the better, never, we hope, to be inflated
again.
In shipping matters, nothing can be more
unfavorable than the present aspect. Vessels,
as general thing, are not paying their way.
This year we see great falling off in the
shipping at this port, not much more than
one-half of last year. For several months to
come, the decline will be more marked, as the
India and New Orleans ships have now near
ly all NATURALIZATION Traveller
