In the Globe of last evening, the Secretary of State thus defines his position in reference to the contest for the Vice Presidency. THE VICE PBESIBEXCr. The Convention friendly to the present Ad ministration, which met at Baltimore on the sth of Mav. to recommend candidates at the next e- 1 lection for President and Vice President, having adjourned after declining to nomii.ate for the « Vice Presidency, I c nsider myself authorized to interfere in that question so far as I have been made personally interested in it. The Union party in Georgia, which did me the honor, very unexpectedly, to make an uncon ditional nomination of me for that office, last year had the kindnts*; in conformity to my wishes, to change that nomination into an expression ofpne ference, and to refer the subject to the decision of those who were expected, fairly representing tiieir political friends, to decide upon it. No decision having been made, union and con cert of action a r e not now to be anticipated. Ac cording to the present state of things jao friend of the Administration can hope for arr ?leclion by the people. The more fortunate can be thrown only high enough on the electoral poll to secure the chance of beingchosen by the Senate, Who ever succeeds, then, will occupy his place with the perfect knowledge that he owes his elevation to the partiality of a fragment of hi* own party, and holds it against the decision of a majority of his fellow-citizens. Withhold the sustaining power of public a probation, and the honor and emoluments of j public office in all free countries, and particularly : in this, are but p >or re -ompenses f>r the labor ! performed, the responsibilities incurred, and the : gross misrepresentations inevitably encountered ’in fulfilling its duties. During a large and not unsuccessful public career, I have never vet Ikm n ; placed in a sittftlion to doubt that the position I ; occupied was agreeable t«> the wishes of th« great ) majority of those to whom belonged the to ! control it. I desire public station on no oilier terms. Without denying to the Union party of j Georgia, or to any other portion of my fellow citizens, the right to use my name, if, in their opinion, it will be beneficial to the piffilic, it will not be further mixed up in wish es a. e respect 1.

This card has excited, as ycu may readily ima agine, a great deal of speculation here. Some 1 regard it merely as a temporary outbreak of the Secretary’s scornful and irritable nature, soaa ing under his disapp hutment. Others look upon i it as another manifestation of his known hatred :of minor} 's, which inclines him now to leave | the Administration parly before they come their fall, and of his willingness to s that party 1 tumble down to destruction, unices his longings ! I for the distinction and lucre of place continue : ■> | be gratified. This ranch is certain. There G 1 far more of dissatisfaction, than of patriotism or i true dignity in this remarkable production.— j Those who are acquainted with Mr, Forsyth. ! will recogn : ze his peculiarly disdainful dispoV tion in every sentence. He does not actually * dulge in sneers and insolence towards the Co. - vention, but he lakes little pains to disguise his opinions of their idleness and folly. He reminds me of the old woman who was in the habit of defaming the characters of her nei Jibors—but, who, when asked her op' don of a o-rtaan person t whom she did not like, hut yet was afraid to as sail, openly replied, As to him, why sometimes ; I think, and then again I don’t know; hut f rath- j er guc she is just what I think him !*’ So with Mr. F orsyth. he does not call his executioners knaves and fools; but he evidently thinks so, and rather guesses they arc just what he thinks them. ; H s rebuke of those who preven'ed any nomi nation. and hope for the election of their favorite i by tbe Senate, has annoyed Grundy and his I brother conspirators. He has pr claimed that no public man ought to consent to occup / the place i when elevated to it by the partiality of a fragment of his own party, and against the decision of a m or' jol his fellow-citizens. This will be gail and wormwood to the fri of the other candi- , dates who are determined to run, although they i cannot hope for election by the people. Some- 1 thing more will come of this. I sviil he careful to transact to you every thing calculated to tlm vv lighten the purpose and views of Mr. Forsyth in making this move.

From the Cincinnati Daily Gazette. Di i) ror sef. that Buts T on thf. wit tuft no things in Indiana.—One of the banners used by a delegation from a county in Indiana to the Convention at Connersville, in the same State, was not only very ingenious, but so truly indi cative of the fate which avails the Administra tion in November next, that it should no: be passed without a description. In the back ground of ibe painting is pictu ed a Lg cabin from which is apparently rolling, with great velocity, a huge barrel of hard cider. Immediately’ in advance of it appears Mattv Van, striding like a Colossus, with his face turned towards the people, crying out in a great agony “For God's sake, stop that barrel of cidet !” “ Roll it on.” From the New York American. The fierceness and intolerance of party spir it have never boon more Hgnally, or discred itably displayed, than in the mode in which the past career and services of Gen. Harrison are now calumnia cd and scandalized by the Van Buren press—lrom the Globe, Richmond Enquirer, and Evening Post, down to the New Era,—if, indeed, on the low dead level of Loco Foco vulgarity, and malignity, there be any inequality. The contest against Gen. Jackson was indeed a heated and a bitter one. —but in its extremes! height, no one did injustice to his eminent mili tary services and qualities. H:s want of self command, insubordinate spirit.vindictive temper, and turbulent life—general unfitness for the trusts of civil government.—w ere largely dwelt upon and illustrated; but New Orleans was deemed sacred, —and even the sacrifices and hardships of his In dian campaigns, stained as they were with cold blooded slaughter of an unresisting foe, received . 11 and cheerful credit. Ihe il! ous annals of a nation are a part. and not the least precious part of its treasures and these annals are made up of the noble deeds of its sons, whe rin civil or military life. It is then, a public wrong—a wrong to the past a wrong to existing times—a wrong to posterity to desecrate such annals, and in the comparative y paltry struggle of the hoar, to do injustice to the service of oilier days. No such consideration, however,appears tore strain the desperate press of the desperaie now in possession of the Federal Government— and accordingly there is scarcely any li !■-,• of falsehood that is not uttered through the organs in depreciat’on of Wm. 11. Harrison. Facts however, they cannot alter, though they may mccal them ; and, relying in this, as ia most er cases upon the ignorance and preju dices to which these presses mainly address iliein selves, they may. indeed, for a time, delude some portion of their readers into a belief that Har. ison is a coward—that he who, in carlv davs, ' the perils of Mad Anthony, as the gallant Wayne was, for his great daring, called hv his soldiers—and enjoyed his confidence—who* at a later period, advanced the civilized frontier of the \\ esl against an overwhelming superiority in point of warlike for , of hostile or unfriendly savages—and who, in the war of 1812 overthrew triumphantly the combined array of British and It lian enemies,—is an old woman, and destitute of all skill and energy as a commander. But Truth soon comes in to dispel the illusion d to c tablLh, on the testimony of Mad Antho ny him.. -on that of the early pioneers of tne on tuat of such men us Uol. Groghun, Major Fuller, Rich ird M. Johnson, Vice Presi d it on that ot tire thanks of Gongress and a. gold na Jul unanimously voted to himlfor conduct and courage—on the universal contemporaneous applause of the press, including that most eon si., it and inder idant journal, the Richmond L uirer and fi I?v, as here, ol even greater pu ncy than all th e, ot his triumphant recep tion at Tammany Hall, where a feast and illumi nation in his honor were provided—un testimony such as this, Truth comes in to vindicate the claim ot Gen. Harrison to be enrolled among the brave and successful commanders of the nation. Again, his prosperous administration, a ; Gov ernor for years ol the North Western Territory, his discreet and sensible conduct as a member of Congress, and the fact that so good a judge of ta lents, integrity, and patriotism as John Q. Ad an'-', selected him a M' ' er to Columbia ; es tablish his right to be ranked honorably among those who have distinguished themselves by their civil services to the nation. And yet such a man is now spoken of as a cow ard, a dotard, an old woman; and the dignity was even offered to American feeling just pre vious to our late city election, of sending forth a banner from that Tammany Hall, which had feas ted Gen. Harrison as a hero, representing him clad in petticoats and flying from an enemy. It is added—as if to cap the climax of such an in sult—that this banner was borne by a British de serter : a lit instrument for so base a purpose, and so base a rabble as could applaud such a pro ceeding. We do not, indeed—so far as the success of the Whig party, and of Gen. Harrison as its can didate, is concerned—object‘to, or complain of, this mode of warfare, for we know that it re dounds to our advantage; but as Americans, de siring that our National Pantheon should not be desecrated—and that no single bust or statue phi ced there by a people’s gratitude, should be struck down from its niche of glory—we protest against the Vandal spirit of these a-saults upon a public Benefactor. 1 British Stf.au Pi; kkts. —The Great W cs- ' tern brings letters from London under date of April 14;h. to E. 11.

Yamraa.-Au Eastern Story. The truth of the following story is avouched by the author of the volume in which we find it. I: is from “Sketches and tales of a Soldier's Life,” f by the author of Fifteen yaars in India. “ I led mv friend towards the Parsee cemetery on the seashore. The Parsces neither burn nor bury the bodies of their dead, but expose them in two receptacl s, one for males and the other for fe males, made of solid masonry, and open at the top for the admission of birds of prey. Having deposited the corpse in one of these sepulchres, through a door at the bottom, it is left, slightly covered with a muslin cloth, to be devoured. The bones are then carefully collected and buiied in an urn, with certain ceremonies. This mode of sepulchre was common in ancient times, in some parts of Persia. It excites surprise now by its i seeming barbarism; and that it should be practi j ced by such an enlightened, humane tribe as the Parsees of Bombay, who are justlv tailed the Quakers of the East, is strange. Precept and ' example will, however, school the human mind to any thing, and therefore we need not wonder at strange customs, when we reflect, that ourown arc considered surprising and ridiculous in their turn. As we were approaching this place of ?epul- I chre, we beheld about forty men and women, ; whom we recognized as forming a Parsee funer- ! ai procession. Amidst them was a corpse, which we afterwards found to be that of a young female, j on a cot or low bed that served for a bier. Thev all seemed to be her near relations; and instead of all the solemn decency which I had before ob | served at such ceremonies, this exhibited hurry ! and secrecy : the hour was unusually earlv; tiie ! lamentations were not loud; there was no beat- 1 mg of breasts by the women; but in long dre s- I es smeared in ashes and paint, and with dishev- ' elled hair streaming to the morning breeze, thev were uttering low’ groans and imprecations. Tears were flowing copiously down two of the women’s | cheeks and we could hear them lament that ever i they had been born, and utter wildly suppressed rejoicings, that she whom they bore along was dead. Wheji they arrived at the receptacle, in stead of unlocking the door, and placing the body on the platform with tenderness, it was thrown, with apparent detestation, from the parapet, and we heard the echo of its fall with a thrill of hor ror. All this naturally roused mv curiosity, and thro’ the instrumentality of Hormong c and Monagee, to the latter of whom I promised my interest respecting the canteen, byway of bribe for divulging the secrets of his sect, I received the following particulars, which I have every rea son to believe perfectly (rue, and in strict accord ance with the Parsee usage. Limjee Doragee, a respectable trader in jewels, had a daughter nam 1 Yamma, whose beautv equalled the lustre of ilia finest diamond. She appeared among the virgins of her tribe, as agom Sot Goleonda amidst heads of glass. Her [.rtii ; saw in her, as in a flattering mirror, their ion wishes. They pearled herjet hair with many a ! costly transparent row, their rubies’burningg w i were pendant from her graceful no?e; whil; ma ny a far firm* 1 mine glittered on her bosom, spar- I kled on her fingers and arms, and shed its light on her toes and ankles. This charming young Parsee, or Peri, was about fourteen years old, an age at which the female figure attains the sound perfection ofbcauliful ripeness in India. Indeed, marriage takes place generally at a much earlier period in life; but, in \ amnia’s case the young man to whom she was affianced, had been de°- i Gined at »Surat nearly two years by important : commercial affairs in which he was d ply c> j eerned, and the expensive ceremony of solemni zation of wedlock, had been postponed from lime to time, in anxious expectation of his return, i Parsees possess a number of strict and rez- I u! ir usages, and oae of these is an obligation to marry omy within the tribe. Any aberration irom this practice is punished with immediate death. Nothing can avert the fate of the unfor tunate victim. I he prospects of Y aimr.a were at the brightest. ; when as the narrative proceeds, “ it was her fate ; to be rescued liom imminent peril by the intre pidity of Gapl. E . She had accompanied her mother, in a covered and gorgeously dccora ; ted hackery, to a garden house which belonged ' tol cr father, on G’alabath. They staid in The | garden rather longer than the attendants wished, pleased with its cooling fruits, neat walks, silve ry streams, and shady trees. The golden ban dana, glittering mango, and imperial jack, at tracted their gaze and touch. At length their bullocks, in splendid housings, proud of the mu sic of the silver bells which played in suspension from their necks, approached the bed of the tide, which I have before described as separating the island of Colabath . ora Bombay. The rail was begining to ply in the lower part of the channel; but the carriage road along the crest of the high rock, was practicable, though the rising tide might be seen glil oring in the stream across its black ravines. The drivers and runners calculated ihat the bullocks would cross before the tide covered the rocks, and they urged them at full spe-.d.— A strong breeze, however, came into Bombay harbour, with the flow om the ocean, and before I 1 the hackery reached the shore, the ladies saw i with terror that the devouring element was float ing them, that their footmen wore swimming, and in great agitation striving to keep their bullock’s heads towards the land. Alarm soon finds ut terance. The mother and daughter mingled their cries, and wept, more in piiy fur each other than for themselves; but their agony was drowned by the roar of the flood the crowd at the ferry were too much absorbed in their own views, and 100 distant had it been otherwise, to afford them any aid. y At this awful moment Capt. S Was o^j. loping from the fort; and hoping that be should be in time to cross the rocks, he made directly lor the course ot the hackery, saw the life strug gle of the men, heard the piercing cry for help by the women, and plunged in to their assitance His horse was a strong, docile Aralian, and Cap- Uti S , being exceedingly fond of field sports had accu-tomeu him to «wim rivers, and even the lower part of the ferry, though a quarter of a miie wide. The horse, therefore, swam as direct , Iv to the hackery, and Capt. 8 . having per | feet confidence in his strength and steadiness I placed the daughter, who was as light a* a fairy, | behind him and with the mother clinging beh nd | gained the shore in safety, while the hackery and ; bullocks were swept away by the force of the tide. The terror of the animals, prevented their el dual struggle, destroyed them ; for a moment . cr the perilous escape pf the ladies, the hack ery was upset and the bullocks were drowned. Many battles and dangers require a lunger time in description than in action. It was just so in this case. Short, however, as the time had been a crowd was gathering ; and not only the ladies, hut all the tongues were loud in thanking Capt. 8 for his gallant conduct. Meanwhile he gazed on Yamma with wonder, and she on . him with grateful surprise. Many of the Parsees have lair complexions, and Yamma's was trans parently so. Indeed she looked, though pale with fright, and dripping with brine, so much like Venus, rising from Ocean’s bed, that Capt. 8. pronounced her in his own mind the loveliest of the creation. He galloped so the fort, procured palanquins, and saw the fair Parsees i conveyed home in safety. I wish, for Capt. 8 'spake—l wish for the | happy termination cf my story—that his ac quaintance with Yamma had here terminated ; but l am impelled by the laws of history, and the nature of my information to proceed, not with the wing of fancy, but with the plume of plain , mailer of .act. In short, then Capt. 8 used : every means in his power to win the love of Yamma. He corresponded with her through the medium of fakiers, or religious mendicants and fortune tellers.

Well, I must briefly de scribe—no, I cannot dwell upon it—l hurry over it, merely sketching the outline, and turning with I horor oven from my own faint colors. The heads of the tribe were assembled and an oath of secrecy having been taken, the fair Yam ma was introduced, arrayed as a bride, and de corated as a daughter of the ric h jeweler, Limjee Doralqec. Alter certain ceremonies, her mother and grandmother approached her where, she sat as a beaut tul statue, and representing a poisoned bowl and a dagger, said in a firm tone. “Tahe your choice.” *‘ Farewell, mother ! farewell, fa ther! farewell, world !” replied the heroic Pur j secs daughter, taking the deadly cup. she drained he contents!

The Innocent Cannibals.— The chief phy sician of one of the hospitals in Paris, having, a | few weeks since, invited a great number of his medical t »cnds to witness an anatomical demon stration on the liver of one ol his patients, who had died, and which ,ro:n its enormous size was an object of great medical interest, first regaled them with a copious and splendid breakfast. The breakfast being over, he sent a servant to the cellar to tch the liver which he had placed there. In a few minutes the poor fellow returned in a fright, and said it was no longer in the cellar. An inquiry took place,from which it appeared that (he cook, seeing more guests arrive than he had expected, and thinking that the liver which was in the cellar was that of a call, dressed it in order to make up the efficiency of his provision. The feelings of the guests at the discovery were not ol the most enviable description.
