That com promise, ought to be considered by all good citizens as putting an end to the question. No prudent and patriotic man will, I am sure, ever attempt a renewal of that species of legislation. For my self. I can sincerely say, that 1 should consider any attempt of that sort as savoring ol enmity to the government, inasmuch as it is unnecessary as a measure of poli cy, and could certainly revive a controversy more dangerous to our Union than any other which nas arisen since the adoption o ihe Federal Constitution. Tin preservation of the Union, and the harmony of its members, are incomparably more important than any system of legislation which regards only the pecuniary interests of a portion of the peo ple. The same remarks are applica ble, in a great degree, to the sub ject of Internal Improvements. In relation to them, it may also be observed, that the success of the several States, in their prose cution, and the great local inter ests vested in them, together with the consideration that the Stales manage their concerns with more care anil economy than the Gen eral Government, are persuasive arguments aginst Federal inter ference in them hereafter, beyond such works as are universally conceded to be of a National character. In fine, I consider the views of President Jackson, on the Tariff and Internal Improvements, as ...

It will be a confirmation, by the v oice of my w hole country, of the repeated proofs of approbation, given by the people of my own State, to the well meant labors of a life devoted to the service of the nation. But, whatever may be the fate of the recommendation which I have received from the kind par tiality of the members of the Convention, coming from almost every State in the Union, as the representative of the Democratic Party, with which it has been m pride to act, throughout my pub lic career, 1 shall ever cherish with the most affectionate recol lections, a deep sense of the obli gation they have conferred.

The Legislature ol this State terminated its exlia ses sion on the Ivtli ultimo. 1 he leading measures enacted relative to the Boundary question, were the following: An act "accept ing certain propositions made by the Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States relative to the Northern Bounda ry:" an act making an appropria tion of $300,000 to carry the laws relative to the Boundary in to effect; an act to prevent the forcible abduction of citizens if Ohio inflicting a punishment, on conviction, of imprisonment in the Penitentiary for a term not less than three, nor more than seven years; and a joint resolution relative to the iinnrisonmen'. of Jonathan F. Fletcher, in the Michigan Territory. Hal. Star. C?" A destructive fire occurred in Kichmond, Va. on the morning of the 20th ultimo; by which the new .Methodist Church, known as Trinity, was entirely destroyed: a .Mr. Smith, living opposite, was nearly burnt out, and as many as twelve brick houses were greatly injured; and various wooden ap purtenances were entirely consum ed. The Church cost $10,000, and was insured only to the amount of $4,500. A public meeting was held in the First Presbyterian Church on the 22d, and a subscription opened for the re-ereciiou of Trinity Church and about $7000 were subscribed on the pol. ib. Dreadful Tornado. About five o'clock yesterday afternoon, (19ih inst.) a tornado passed over the town of Piscataway, about two miles from New-Brunswick, which destroyed every house but two. The current of wind pro ceeded towards the city of New Brunswick, and made dreadful havoc in that place, destroyed nearly fifty houses in Liberty, Kichmond and Schuieu.an streets. The most melancholy part of the accident is the death of several persons. A widow lady by the name of Van Arsdale, a man called Henry Booraern, formerly a midshipman in the navy, who was killed in the street, and a boy uai.ied Bayard. The details of this melancholy accident we could not procure, owing to the late hour ol the ar rival of the boat. The tornado first struck the town of Middle bush, and swept every thing be fore it. A. Y. Star. A subsequent account from the New Brunswick Times, states that the number of buildings des troyed and injured cannot fall short of 150, and that the loss of property may be estimated at $100,000. The Times says: Among the extraordinary occur rences which took place on this melancholy occasion, the fate ot the son of Win. G. Dunham (a small lad) was the most singular. He was taken off the piazza of the house corner of New and George streets, carried in the air a distance of 300 yards, and land ed on the wharf at Turuet street, having only sustained a slight io jury in one of his arms. On be - ing questioned as to his reelings, be stuied that he recollected passing through the top of a wil low tree, and that the sensation produced by being carried up in the whirlpool was like that of be ing pulled in contrary directions. Marble Coffins. The N ew York Evening Star has an article on this subject, and throws out some very good suggestions, which we have no doubt will ere long be adopted. The coffin is made of stone, and the lid also of stone, is united with Parker's Cement, which acquires in a short time the solidity of stone. Tl le air is thus entirely excluded, and the body will in all probabil ity lasl a thousand years in nearly the slate in which it was placed in the coffin. 0C?There is to be a convent of iuiis at Rochester, in this state, where there are 5000 Irish, chief ly emigrant laborers. JV. Y. Ev. Star. CTh'e Savannah Republican states (that 23,000 dollars of the money $100,000) stolen from the Bank of Darien on the 7th inst. were found on the 15th among some cotton bales on Jones' w harf, in Savannah, by a negro drayman. OyThe Boston Atlas states the peiion recently arrested at Cin cinnati, on a charge, of forgery, and who assumed Ihe name ol Ludlow, is one and the same per son with the Rev. Air. Weejns, who was convicted of sundry offences against the Common wealth in Boston a few years ago, and afterwards pardoned and re leased by the Governor. He has since changed the theatre and plan of his operations; and has been committing forge rie's to a great extent in the western coun try. His fine person and win ning address have enabled him to pursue his purposes successfully and he was on the point of mar riage to a most respectable lady when he fell into the hands of justice. A". Y. Mercantile. Caricature. The caricature a bout the payment of the twenty live millions to Old Hickory by Phillippe of France, is an exqui site piece of wit, drollery and fidelity to history. The folly of the French Chambers in requir ing an explanation, is most excel lently bit off. Gen. Jackson holding a bag containing the twenty-five millions, shakes his cane at the King saying, "It is well that you've paid the money, or else by the Eternal," to which the renowned monarch re plies tremblingly, "Not another word General, your apology is sufficient."

Milleis lo make large, purchases of that article in Canada. A New York paper says: 'Such is the amount of wheat now arriving at the port of Rochester, that the duties accruing thereon were a bout five thousand dollars during the last week.' Horrible Murder. We have been informed by some gentle men of the first respectability, di reel from Texas, that Mr. Ellin ol vhe State of Georgia, was mur dered by bis companion, a Mr. James Jenkins, on the Colorado fiver io Austin's Colony, on the 27lh of March last, under eir- cumsiatices ol the most jdiockirg and aggravated nature. The deceased and his murder er, Jenkins, had during the lat winter, left (Georgia in com pany, with the view of viitiu the Province- of Texas. They had explored much of the country in company, had made some selec tions and purchases of land lor their fuluie reMdenee.

Said murderer, James .Jenkins-, is ahout six feel high, dark eyes and hair, and between 25 and 30 years ot age. The civil authorities of 'I exas have used every exertion for bi arrest without any avail. Kditors throughout the Slate, friends of humanity, are requested to give publicity to the loregoing.

Capture of a Mormon dngel. A W esteru paper has a curious ac count of a new adventure with the Mormons. Jo Smith, the High Priest and Prophet of these fana tic vagabonds, was not long since upon his proselyting expedition in Ohio, and to give more solem nity and eclat to his administra tion of his baptism, he gave notice that an Angel would appear on the opposite side of the river in which the ceremony was per formed, as often as the rite should be repeated. Accordingly, whenever the baptism took place, a figure in white sure enough ap peared upon the bank of the Grand River, and continued there as long as the ceremony lasted. Some of the unbelievers, however, secreted themselves near the spot, and the next time it showed itself, his Ghostship, after several most ungbosllike attempts to escape and after a ducking in the river to which it was driven, was taken bodily possession of, when it was found upon examination to be nothing more nor less than the Prophet himself.
