This great and estimable man is no mnre ! 'The Sago of Mouticcllo is gone!' Ho died on the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of Juno, aged eighty five years. Ho was born on the ICth of March 1751. 'His end, visibly approaching for some days before, was such as that of a good and great man otii'hl to be, His'facultles undimmcd till his latest hours, he expired without a strug sic, free from pain, frco from regret, and from cause of reproach.' Tho National Intelligencer oppropriato ly observes, that "the lastofthogrent lights of Ihe Revolution, tho brightest of those great minds, which, like the pillar of fire of old, conducted the American Israel thro tho trials of the scarcely less important era following the Revolution, and gave to his country tho repose, security, and happiness nf a wise, regular, stable, and consolidated Government ; this pure nnd beautiful and bonign light has at last sunk below the ho rizon, nnd is quenched forever in this world -! ' -1 1 I . uionous uiuoeo uos ueen us long course, and though no more to be socn, it has left a radiance in tho firmament at which his country will long gaze with admiration and gratitude. For more than thirty years.tho name or" James Madison has, more than that ofnny other living man, been associat ed in the mind of United America, with the principles and the fabric of our Govern ment. He was the principal architect in ils construction, if lie did not lay its corner stone. lie lived to see it endure many trials, survive great dangers, and lo prom ise endurance for ages." President Jackson has issued the usual orders lo tho Army and Navy, which aro observed in commemoration of the death of our great and good men ; and has also officially communicated tho same informa tion to Congress. Mr Adums.inthc House, delivered a brief but oloquent and touching address upon the subject. The Inlelligcn. cor says "few who heard it were not affect ed by it i and down the chcokof more than ono manly face the glistening tear was seen coursing ils wav." The National Intelligencer of Friday, states that the Senate on Thursday, con firmed, unanimously, tho nomination of Lewis Cass as Minister to Franco (with a proviso, however, that ho is not to embark until the President receives official infor mation Hint France intends to send an offi cer of equal grade lo reside hero) that Gen. Seott has been recalled by iho Prcsi- dcnt.and Gen. Jcssupleft in chief command. O" There is nothing decisive from t lie Indian War. The army was about moving in large numbers upon the Creeks, under the orders of Gen. Scott. The rumor that a large body of Indians had crossed into T'ifida, is not true. There is another ru mor, in a letter from Washington of the 3d inst that 1200 hostile Indians had surren dered themselves at Fort Mitchell, with all ihcir arms, which appears somewhat pro bable. SENATORIAL CONVENTION. Pursuant to notice a county Convention of Antimasons and other opponents of Se cret Associations, was hold at tho Inn of John A. Willey in Willislon, on Monday the 4lh of July, ing,. for Ul0 purposo of nominating candidates for Senators. Hon. ALVAN FOOTE was, on nomina tion, appointed Chairman, and Gkohoe B. M ANsr.n, Secretary. Tho object of the meeting having been elated, on motion of Mr Heechor, a com mittec of two from each town represented was appointed to present candidates for the consideration of the Convention. Whereupon the Chair appointed Messrs, Snider, Amblor, Spalding, Stiles, Parker, Bates.Cooper, C. C. Parker, Leavenworth, Owen, Nichols, Manser, Cloycs, Lyon, Ferris, Bocchor ond Willson. A committee of four was nominated to draft resolutions expressive of tho icnsu of the convention, viz : Messrs Foo'.e, John son, Weston and Manser. After n recess the committee on nomina (ions, reported tho names of JOHN N. POMKROV, and HARRY MILLER, Bsqrs. as candidates for Senators which nomina lions were confirmed without a dissenting voice. Mr Weston, from tho committee on res olutions, reported the following, which were adopted. " Ilnnlvnl.

Tho Convention adjourned without day. A. FOOTE, CAatrmrm. Geo. D. Manser, Secretary. From the Slate Journal. VAN MJREN STATE CONVENTION. Tho Van Buren and Johnion State Con vention mot on Thursday last according to notice. The drilling and drumming of the leaders for months past, brought together, ns usual, a large number of the pensioned patriots of the Slate, including collectors, postmasters, Sic. to the number of about 500. The vory elite of the masonic, office holding aristocracy of the state wjs con gregated. Hcman Lowry,of Burlington, was called to the chair; Truman Cbiitcndcn, II. E. Mb Laughlin, Dr. Hall of St. Albans, Jno. Kellogg of Benson, Ebcnezcr Eaton, and two oilier gentlemen not known. Vice Presidents, and O. H. Smith and Paul Dil lingham, jr. Secretaries. When we entered the house a dicussion was going on upon a motion to appoint a committee to nominate electors of Presi dent nnd Vice President. Mr. Linslcy thought it important lo gel the early action of the convention upon this delicate subject. The motion was carried, and the conven tion adjourned to meet again at 3 o'clock. After the adjournment the committee on the Electoral Ticket bad n long and stormy meeting in the court house. The committee on the State Ticket met at the same time in another place, Afternoon. The convention was called to order, but the committees not having finished their labors, those present sat in silence with commendable fortitude, for a good half hour At length Mr Fletcher offered the reportof tho committee nn resolutions, which was laid down without reading, and another long pause followed. At last, Mr. Nead ham of Bristol spoke out, and inquired if me commitioes wcro not iiKeiogel through soon, and if not he would propose an ad journment. - Tho chair gave some encouragement that the storm was about ovpr, and another pause ensued. A member then broke si lence and moved that an officer be despatch cd to make inquiry of the committees as to the timo I hoy would probably remain in session. Carried, nnd an officer sent in quest of the committee. Anothtr pause. At length iho bell was rung, and the committees came in with their reports. The committee on the Slate Ticket report ed the names of William C. Bradley, for Governor, John S. Pcitibono for Lt. Governor. Charles R. Cleaves for Treasurer. On motion of Mr. Dillingham" the names were proposed to the convention .eoparately. Mr Bradley was nominated Kf1)oui op, posiiion. Oq the question being staled, Will the convention nominate John S. Pettibono for Lieutenant Governor? Mr Warner of Bur. Iingion immediately arose and addressed the chair, calling out, "Mr President !" in a distinct tone of voice but "Mr President" seemed to bo amazing thick o' hearing just at that critical moment, and without taking nny notice of the speaker, instantly applied the GAG by pulling tho question and thus choking off all discussion! Mr. Pettibone was swallowed, but not without considera ble gulping o goodly share voting in Ihc ne gative Mr Cleaves was nominated for Treasurer without opposition. The commitlcoto nominalo Electors of fered the following ticket, which was adop ted at ono sweep and without remark: Truman Chittenden, ) A, , Lebbeus Edgerlon; ( Al ,arS0, David Robinson, John C. Sawyer, Daniel Cobb, Charles Hall, and Daniel Baldwin. The following persons were then chosen atntc committee: Charles Linsley, Heman Lowry, John Kellogg, S. S. Koyos, J. S. Robinson, L. S. Burnham. A. McMillan. Mr Noadbam moved the appointment of a pnmmltipi? in inform the . candidates of their nomination ; but before this motion was disposed of, another delegate moved to amend by Instructing tho committee to ask the candidates for Electors whether, if chosen, they wnld vote for Van Buren and Johnson, nnd in case ony should give a negntive answer, to supply their places with pledged men. The "squall," which wo prognosticated in our last paper, now camo in full gust ! A sccna of indecorum and wild disorder was Incessantly kept up until the adjourn mont, unrivalled by any thing we have wit nessed since tho famous riot of October. A delegate from Orleans county opened the drama by a harranguc in opposition to tho appointment of a committee, in which tho most revolting profanity, vulgarity, and obscenity were freely indulged ! and the speaker instead of being restrained by any to1cn ofdisplcnsuro from any quarter, was ROUNDLY CHEERED BY CLAP PING AND LOUD LAUGHTER! The speaker snecringly alluded to antimasonry several limes in the courso of his explosion. The motion to catechise Ihe candidates was lost by a decided majority. Mr. Wood of Essex county moved the appointment of a committee to draft an ad dress to Ihc people. This motion proved another lircbriind, and raised much smoke. Mr Linsley icststcd the motion on the ground that the committee would not be able lo write an address which would be acccpta ble to nil, Ay, ay, well said. Only think of a committee in ono breath dilating on secret societies and that sort of thing, and then patriotically urging the dear, dear people to vote for such i.'lustrious nntima sons as Martin Van Buren and Richard Jl. Johnson ! Mr Weed had a word to say in reply. tie cxprcssd surprise that nny opposition had been made to his motion. It had been the uniform practice of all parties to send out an address to the people ; and shall il be said that democrats dare not express their sentiments, lest xve tread nn the Iocs of friendly antimasons or friendly whigs ? tie was Forry to see any gentleman fright cned at the proposition he bad offered. Mr Linsley rejoined. He assured the last speaker that he was nnt affrighted at his motion, but he teat afraid to adopt measure that promised no good, but which on the contrary might prove fatal to sue cess. He adverted to Ihe courso of the Baltimore Convention a high authority on tins subject, nnu leclmgly urged the con vcnlion to keep in mind the peculiar state or parties. Mr Beardsley of St. Albans next sue cecded in getting the floor. He agreed with tho last speaker, and dwelt upon the importance ol pursuing a course which would lend to conciliate. An address he said, might not meet the views even of Ihe parly lo whom it would be addressed. -This speaker vied with one who had pre ceded him in his indecorum of speech. Tho motion was finally lost; but alack! it was only to give place to another breeze Mr Warner who we are told was much vexed because a bridge had been made nf the nose of his friend Chittenden in the matter of Lieut. Governor, now rose and moved that the corresponding committee be requested to inquire of the candidate for Lieut. Governor, Pettibone whether ho will support Van Buren and Johnson- He observed that tho nomination was u exnee ted. His constituents would want to know Ihc standing of the candidates offered for their support. The gentleman from Lowell (mounting a seat)very audibly bogged that the motion might be withdrawn, 1 consider Ihe nro position said he, an insult to ibis audience ! It merits their scorn and contempt ! John S. Pettibone was born a democrat. We have all rocked him in the cradlo of do mocracy. If democrats would condescend to such and such a course, then lot domoc racy, said he, "GO BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL NOTHINGNESS !" After soaring among pinnacles and stars awhile, no wound up by moving "that the resolu lion, poor ugly thing ! be laid under the table, and oh horrible ! that the President and secretary tread on tt .' Why in the name of democracy did'n't 'the man move to "expunge ? 'J This barbarous motion brought Mr. War ner on his feet at once "in a way that was a ivarn-ng." no vehemently repelled, as undeserved, the impution that he had offered an insult. The convention might throw tho resolution under the table if they pleased, but what would that avail ? This story could nnt bo so easily suppressed. It could not be kept from the world. No, no, iur nero you nave it. Vice President Eaton now rose. He said this subject wbb brought up before the committee, who had received nssurancos that Mr Pettibone was in favor of tho BaN tunorc nomination, and he was understood to say that this ought to satisfy gentlemen, especially since llie L,t. Governor as such, would not be called to vote for President nnd Vice President. As to writing to the Electors, mat was yery proper, air. spaiuing I nought if tho convention were not saiiBtieu with the nominations, this was the time nnd place to settlo it; and added that tho singling out Mr Petti- uonet wiiiic ouiers wcro passed by, would not be so pleasant to the candidate. Ho 6liould consider Mr I'cltibone's acceptance of the nomination as an implied pledge to support tho candidates of the party. Vice President Kellogg was vehemently in favor of the motion. If the candidate was a man who would lake offenco at such an inquiry ns it was proposed to make, then lie was the vory man for whom he would not vote. The gentleman from Lowell airain took tho floor, and by way of placing Pcttibono's democracy oeyonu uoubt or cavil, triumph antly referred to his battle with Essex Bank. True, he had strayed away among the Antimasons, but it was only to bring a dozen sheep with him to the democratic fold. By tho way, we suspect the nomineo hab had better success in catching sheep than ho has in ''pulling wool" over the eyes of tho Antimasons. Mr Nccdham ro9o, but was met by loud cries of "Question!" "Question!" from all ,KV.lUII V&UVOllUll. IIUIII till Ho was however understood tol quarters, intimate that rhetorical flourishes were not needed. Tho committee had had a good deal of trouble about Lt. Governor, and he hoped the discuision would now be dropped Ho said Mr Pettibone had been a democrat with the exception (!) that ho had been with the Antimasons. Mr. Bulkelev of Duxbury oskod, has it come lo this, that tho Jackson party has sunk so low that we aro o'rald ol examina. tion ? Ho for ono wished to know who he was lo vote for. Loud cries for llie question ogaiti. A mnmhnr succeeded in saving wllBt others had intimated, that an "altercation" had taken place in the committee, nnd no was pained to seo It renewed. Mr. Litnsley bogged to ne nearu lor one moment. Ho would only say lie hoped tne motion would not prevail. It would bo PAT At, TO THE ELECTION ! Several simu taneouslvrosc lo sneak, but tho uproar was an overmatch for them and they yiolded. Tho motion was then put and lost. By this time a large portion of the delegates, apparently disgusted with the exhibition, had left the house. Tho resolutions were now read. Of their character it is unnecessary lo speak. farther than to remark, that they contained nothing mbrc nor less than a repetition nf the standard professions of tho party. Of course the President his own chosen sue' cessor, and the immaculate Richard M Johnson came in fur their full share of glorification. Nor must we omit to add, that ono omazing strong antimasonic re solve was passed witnout a dissenter. And thus ended tha doings of this numerous and noisy convention, got up with unpreccden ted effort, for no other purpose than lo af ford tho shadowy pretext for a vain boast of the strength of Van Bnrcnism among the people of Vermont ! We only regret that the whole body of the hard handed nnd honest hearted cultivators of llie soil could not havo been present lo witness the enact ment of the splendid and novel farce, of which we havo now given a liasly but faitlilul account. CONGRESS. Indian Treaties The House went into Committee ofthe whole on tho stole of the Union, upon tho bill tr carrv into efft-ct cor- mm lndion treaties (for the removal oflho Uhcrokces, &c.) Air. Wise called for the reading of all the documents. Mr. urantland intimated that the de mand was made with a view lo delay the division ol the House. Mr Wie said that so far ns ho was con cerned, he would not move beyond a snail's pace in ine roauer, witnout being snlisfied every step wasjusl and honest. What the uenrgta members thought was of no con sequence to him. Mr. Grantland said that the other states ot mo union were ns much interested us Georgia in this matter, ond he warned the liouPe that Guorgia claimed the land and would take it, whether the treaty was car ried into effect or nut. Mr. Adams had nu objection to the read ing ot documents on I his occasion. If mere was any document on this subject which would take off anv nnrlinn nf ihn deep and damning stain that rested on thir transactions it there was any thing that cculd, in any degree, lessen Ihe disgrace which attached to the government in this matter, he would like to hear it. Various uocuincnls were then read all rroinir to show that the Indians were humbugged in the uuuiy. air. Wise said he had mode somo lone CPU,...!...-, nu una nour out never wiiti a sin ister motive. He now avowed the deter mination that he would die in the attempt to ueieal this bih; at the risk of his bodily iiuuiin uuu comiori, no intended to oppose me passage o: tnts oppressive and unjt measure. Cries of "die then," "proceed," "hear him." &c Mr Hoar resumed his remarks upon the question, and proceeded lo review the the character nnd history ofthe treaty. The pretended treaty was, in pursuance ui una nonce, maueoy a lew dozen of in- icresieu inuiviuuals, in opposition to the wishes and solemn protest of the whole nation. If this treaty, thus made, was en- lorceu, u wouiu no a loul blot on our name. Whatever wo might think of ourselves, other nations would regard us as mere buccaniers and pirates, For his own part ho would much rather bo compelled to drive these poor wretches out of their coun try, at tho point of the bayonet, thnn to peprivo them of their possessions, upon this miserable pretence? ol a treaty. Soon after midnight iho House, without settling the question, adjourned. Concepondence of ihe IV. Y. Cour. & Eno,. Washington, June 27, 1836.

Extractor a letter received this morn ing from New Orleans which may be fully relied on. 'New Ortr.EANs, June 16. "The Independence, Com. Hawkin9. ar rived a few days since and brings intijIIU gence which has not beer, made public as yet. It appears that the cunning Santa Ana had nr wa about deceiving the credntoiH Texan cabinet. He had made a solemn treaty to acknowledge Ihe ind pendeuce of Texos, and to use all his influence on his arrival in' Mexico lo recognize it. A Tex on cutter was lo convey hi in to Vera Cruz instantly. He told Ihpm his object in going to Mex ico was loget it recognized, and ho could accomplish niori- by Ins presence than by writing. Com. Hairkin, of Hie Independ ence wa cuinmis-iioncd to take him lo Ve ra Cruz ; he refused lo comply: then lie was put on board the Invincible, Captain Brown. Upon Brown's learning ho threat cned to blow up the vissel, and upon llie soldiers nnd people hearing of the resolu. lions of the Cabinet, they became o enra ged that lie Cnbmet were obliged to tear up the treaty, and convey him (Santa Ana) to Velasco.and put him in irons. The indig. nation of the people was so great that had they not complied with their request, they would no doubt have, massacred Santa Ana and the Cabinet. We sincerely hope Tex as may bo nnnexed to the U. Slates. Tho farmers ore nil busy on their plantations, endeavoring to make up lost time. They will make about one half a crop of cotton; but most of them arc planting corn." Impoixtant from Mexico the Armis tice kum.ifed The Pentacola Gazelle, June 18. contains the following important article, from which it will bo seen that the contest is not yet ended in Mexico, what ever may be Ihc stipulations of Santa Ana: Naval. The U. S. Cutler, Jcflerson, under command of Capt. Jackson, arrived here on tho 13ih inslant, twelve days from Tamnico. All iotnrrr.iiriso u'na r...i.;t,inn there beiween vessels of war and tho nhnro. Merchant vessels aro permitted to enter the harbor but not to depart. This seems to be the case at present at all the Mexicon ports. While the Jefferson lay offthe harbor, intelligence was received at Tampico of ihe capture of Gen. Santa Ana. The flags ofthe vessels in port, and of tho fortifications were hoisted at half mast, in sign of mourning for the event. Active preparations wcro making lo as semble a large military force to march upon Texas. Every department of Mexio was required to furnish its quotaror troops for this service, to be assembled at Matamoras. Much excitemant prevailed among the in habitants of all classes. Apprehcmions were entertained that Santa Ana and his Icllnw prisoners had been put to death by the Texans, and resolutions wore publicly adopted and promulgated by the provisional government. that no act or concession of San in Ana to the Texans, while a prisoner, should be regarded as valid. Capt. Jackson wos not even permitted to communicate with Mr. Robertson, our Consul at 1'ainpi co, except through tho commanding gener al Gomez. COL. FANNIN YBT ALIVE. It will be recollected that Santa Ana de clared to his captors that Col. Fannin had not been put to death. The following arti. cle from tho Pcnsacola Gazette confirms his declaration : Capt. Tfesuvan of the Texan armv. passed through this place on his way from Texas to South Carolina, on Tuesday last. Cnpt. T. was with Fannin when ho was captured. Capt. T. stales positively that Col. Fannin was not among the slain, but, with a physician of his own force, was pre served, and is still a prisoner with tho Mexicans. A contloman .recently travelling in th country called out to a boy. "Where do. tKi. road go to, my lad?" "Well, I dont know wbcro iteoes, but it's alwavs hern h.n t como along." MAItltlED. wi?M?yal, ' ?.n '"P'1' ul(- b ihe R. A. C.
