Resolved, Thai an elertion of President by the House of Re country has warned us iu his fare well address. Resolved further, that these efforts to excite local animosities against Mr. Van Bu ren are unfair, illiberal, and un grateful, considering the generous and magnanimous support which the freemen of the North have heretofore extended to Southern men, and that they are fraught with perilous consequences to the peace of our country and the per manence of our happy Union. 6.

The star-spangled banner was conspicuously dis played, and the roaring of cannon at intervals through the day, to gether with the occasional pop pings of squibs, &cc. evidenced a determination not to suffer this na tional holyday to pass by unnoticed.

The Pe tersburg Constellation says: The occurrence of an event, for some weeks daily anticipated, and i which in the course of nature i could not have been much longer j protracted, it becomes our painful I duty to announce to our readers, this morning. The virtuous Mad- j ison, whose deeds and whose : worth are written in imperishable I characters on the pages of the civil j history of his rountry, has passed ! from the sphere of his temporal i labors to scenes of eternal dura-i tion. To other and to abler pens we leave the task of more extend ed, eulogy!

At a meeting of a respectable portion of the citizens of Warren county, j friendly to the Election of Martin I an Buren, of New York, as President, and Richard M.John son, of Kentucky, as Vice Presi dent, held in the Court House in Warrenton, t,e iSth inst. a greeably to previous notice, on motion of (;en jt n Hawkins, Henry Fitts, Esq. was unanim ously appointed Chairman, and on motion of Weldon N.Edwards :sq Edwin D Drake was ap pointed Secretary to the meeting. The objects of the meeting hav- ug been briefly explained by the ohair, William Eaton, . Jr. Esq. founded accusations against Mr. Van Buren, yet this meeting can not forbear to express a very de cided conviction, that the charge" of his being favorable to the views of the abolitionists is perfectly destitute of any shadow of found ation, and that the enemies of Mr. Van Buren ought never to have persisted in the circulation of this charge, after the publication of his letters condemning the proceed ings of the abolitionists, disap proving of any interference with slavery in the District of Colum bia, and denying in the most clear and explicit terms, all constitution al authority on the part of the fed eral government to legislate upon the subject in any of the States. 5. Resolved, That we are deep ly devoted to Southern rights, in terests and institutions; that we have endeavored to be vigilant as to every danger which may threa ten ihem from any quarter, and that we have seen no cause to sus pect for a single moment that Mr. Van Buren, if elevated to the Pre sidency, would countenance in any shape or form, any attempt to disturb the domestic institutions and social polity of the Southern States, or those of the District of Columbia. 6. Resolved, That the recent vole of Mr. Van Buren in favor of the bill to prevent the circula tion of incendiary publications through the mails, entitles him to the warmest gratitude of the Southern people, and shonld of it self convince all intelligent and liberal men, that he desings no in jury or injustice to the South on the subject of slavery. 7. Resolved, That the efforts which are constantly made to pre judice Mr. Van Buren in the opin ion of his Southern fellow citizen. because he is a Northern man. and to rally a southern party a rotmd Judge While because he in a Southern man, are calculated U create parties characterized b geographical discriminations, a gainst which the father of his (tTennessee and North Car olina are fast recovering from the White fever. 'The pretence that Judge While is friendly to the present administration, has had its effect but the people see through the fallacy, and the Judge ap pears, iu full relief, as the Federal Bank Nullification Whig Candid ate. We Icarn also, that his case is hopeless in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Where then can he find a place that he may claim as his political home. Nor in North Carolina -the stories about the "great changes" in his favor in the west and elsew here, are Federal Whig humbugs, got up for political ef fect. We have conversed Willi honest federalists who have travel led through the west, and they have confessed that the statements on this head have greatly exag gerated the facts. Hal. Stand. E7Qffic,al information has reached this city, that Brevet Brigadier John E. Wool, U. S. Army, has received orders from the War Department to proceed to the Cherokee Nation, and to call on the Governors of N. Car olina and other Stales, for their respective quotas of militia, (to serve 3 months) and volunteers, (I year) unless sooner disbanded. Gen. Wool, is left at discretion, according "as he finds affairs," to call or not. The official notifica tions from Washington have been issued. Military Academy. ...The Globe of the 25th contains the Report of the Board of Visiters, invited by the Secretary of War to attend the General Examination of the Ca dets of the Uniied States Military Academy; also, that of E. Her rich, chairman of the committee appointed by the Board to inquire into the fiscal concerns of the A cademy; of Lewis Marshall, of the Committee to whom was referred the subject of Police; of John Mushat, of the Committee on the course of Instruction; of G. F. Davis, on Religious Instruction, and that of Morgan L. Smith, on Military Education and Disci pline; all of w hich give a favora ble aspect to the management and prosperity of the Institution. 16. Appointments by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.- George Wolf, of Pennsylvania, to be First Comp troller of the Treasury of the Uni ted States, in the place of Joseph Anderson, resigned- to take ef fect on the 1st day of July, 1836. Louis D. Henry, of North Car olina, to be Commissioner, John J. Munford, of New York, to be Secretary, Cornelius Van Ness, of the District of Columbia, to be Clerk, under the act to carry into effect the convention between Spain and the United Slates. Globe. tt?"

Read, the deliverer of the garrison of the Withlacooche Block House, has challenged Gen. Scott. The offence was a charge of cowardice, advanced by the latter against the former. A duel is expected.- Bait. Pat. C?""What have I done that mine enemies do praise me?" The distribution of the Surplus Reve nue so far as we have seen, has met the unqualified approbation of the Whig Presses; and is spok en of as unqualifiedly in all its bearings, with coldness, distrust and condemnation by the Demo cratic papers of the Union. This fact speaks volumes it was a whig scheme' from the beginning; the object of which w as to get pos session and control of the public money, and they have succeeded effectually as will be seen, and un availingly lamented, in a very brief period of time.

Important. A letter has been received from New Olreans to 12ih inst. stating that a gentleman just arrived from Matamoras, had stated that a Commissioner had just .arrived there from the city of Mexico, with full powers to ar ange all questions with the Texian Government, and recognize the Del Norte as the boundary, he. &c.

Haw kins, of the Texian navy, sev en days from Velasco, anchored at Mobile, June 15th, and fired a sa lute of 13 guns. P. W. Grayson, and James Collingsworth, Esqrs. came passengers as commission ers, clothed with full powers to negotiate with our government for a recognition of Independence of Texas. They w ere to leave Mobile June 17th, for Washing ton city, where they will fortu nately arrive before Congress ad journs. These gentlemen states that an armistice had been entered into between the Texians and the Mexican commander-in-chief Fil asola; and that the remains of the Mexican army are, by this time, on the opposite side of the Rio Grande. Santa Anna remains strongly guarded at Velasco, from whence he has no chance of es cape, and will be retained there with the olher prisoners until com munications shall be received from the Mexican Government. ib. We regret to find by the follow ing article, which we extract from the New Orleans Bulletin of the 20th of June, that the Mexican Government, so far from evincing a disposition to enter into negotia tion with Texas for the recognition of its independence, is actively en gaged in making preparations for renewing the war.
