During the-last session of that bo dy, this nomination was rescinded. The demo cratic or union party has a strong majority in that State; and they will give the vote of Ala bama to Van Buren. In Mississippi, a resolution to nominate Judge White was rejected bv a majority of eighteen votes in the House of Reniesentativ<*s. It was by men who have basely deserted the army of Texas.

No. XLY. Judge Longs!reel—Danger to i’te Union party— General Glascock. Tiie course of Judge Lougstreet has, for some tune, been calculated ;o excite both surprise and regret. Educated, if I mistake not, an ardent friend of the time, advocated doctrines which necessari! tend to its destruction. Reared in habits of personal and political friendship with Mr. Forsyth, and others, he has become their bitter enemy. Actively opposed to the Union party of Georgia, lie yet seeks their aid in consum mating the political views of himself and his friends. It is in reference to this last, that I suspend my remarks oa Judge Clayton’s letter, for the purpose of taking some notice of Judge L- iligstreet. Judge Longstrcet’seditorial ofthe lth March, deserves the reprobation of all honest men: it contains a plain, palpable attempt at political, bribery. After a shameless repetition of tiie current falsehood, that, in the distribution of honors and emoluments, as I understand him, the Clark men have ‘‘just exactly the crumbs which the proselytes occasionally throw them for peace sake, and no more;” the Judge in quires, “But suppose you, (old Clark.men) From th: C dumbos */, 'll i in-:, -it. !

The fall of Judge unite with us and conquer; will you not then be in the majority? And il" wo do not treat you well, (by the way, the treating may have to conic from the oilier side;) if we should be strong enough to put on airs and not treat you we!!, have)on not the safest and most honorable retreat from us, that men ever had?” Here then, is a distinct proposition to the old Clark men, as I understand it to “unite” with the “nullifiers,” hitherto so objectionable to them, and an oilhr of better treatment in distributing “the loaves and fishes,” for which tiie Judge says nullifiers can so “patiently and good hutnoredly wait.” Il tins elibrt shall succeed: if this abominable attempt at corruption, probably made without reflecting on its character; if this vile attempt shall not meet the indignation of the old Clark party, I shall acknowledge that I know them much less than I supposed. Nor will the effort to operate o:i their fear* be more successful: they will laugh to scorn the vaunting declaration, that “every crack and cranny of the Slate is filled with little nullifiers, who will soon grow up and swarm down upon diem like the third plague of Egypt, and eat than up bodily!” The Judge will, therefore, have still to comfort himselfand his friends with the declaration, however fallacious, that “they are not so anxious lor the loaves and fishes, but tiiat they can wait patiently and good humored- iy for the coining of that time.” It is vain that he “invites,” the Clark men to a “coalition that may avert the evil,” of “Van Buren’s election.” They do mu consider it an evil: they know loo well tiie value of the man who is so ably sus- taining their principles, to throw him away at the instance of their adversaries. They will not venture in the support of a mongrel electoral ticket of turbulent nullifiers, wavering Union men, and wheedled Clark men. Their present position has been gained by too Tisthestar-spanirlcd banner,oh, long may ’‘O'er the laud of the free and the home of tin it wave brave.” FEDERAL UNION. MILI.EI)SEVILLE, APRIL 28, 183(5. MARTIN VAN BUREN, FOR PRESIDENT. R. II. JOFINSON. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. NULLIFIERS CONVENTION. -The nullifiers, during the last winter, apponted die first Monday in May, for holding a convention in Millcdgeville, for the purpose of nominating a ticket for electors of president and vice-pre sident. As they have been attempting to se duce some old Clark men from the Union par ty, we think it probable, that they will endeav or to consummate this insidious policy, bv placing several of these old Clark men on their electoral ticket. We trust that not one of our old friends will allow himself to be cajoled by the common enemy. The acceptance of such a nomination will inevitably fasten on t'no mis guided man, if there be any such, the distrust and suspicion of the Union party. To expect that a party will retain its kind affections for any of its old members, who unites with its enemies to effect its defeat, is to believe human nature more forbearing and generous than wo have ever found it. To any old Clark man who may be nominated by the nullifiers, the question will be propounded; “Do you desire hereafter to he deemed a member of the Union party’?” A prudent man will answer this question to him self, before he determines to identify himself with the nullifiers. NULLIFIERS FRIENDS TO WEB- STER OR FI\RRISON.—Tiie nullifiers la bour hard to be thought the zealous champions of the South. For this purpose they attempt to firm a southern party. They profess to support Judge White, because he is a southern man.— Such policy, if adopted b v the southern states, would prove fatal to their influence in the Union. If a southern party be formed, it will give rise to the formation of a northern party. If the South determine to support none but a southern man f>r the presidency, it will follow with per- feet certainty, that the North will support none but a northern man for that high office It par- ties be formed on this basis of geographical distinctions, its baleful influence will be extended to ail the operations of the federal governnent. that Judge White will receive the vote of Mississippi. In Louisiana, the last indication of public sentiment is the election to tiie United States’ senate, of an opponent of Judge White, and a friend of Van Buren. 'Rhcre has been no movement to balance tUD strong indication a- gainst Judge White. In Illinois, the nomination of Judge White was attempted, and failed iti both blanches of e legislature. It is deemed certain, that Judge White will not receive tiie vote of Illinois. In South Carolina the nullifiers being in the ascendency, they wd probably give the vote of that State to Judge White; and it is to he supposed, that tin* State pride of Tennessee will s cure to him, her vote. From this review it is manifest, that the vote of Judge White in the electoral colleges, will be very small; and it is probable, that it* the elec tion shall not be decided by those bodies, he will not obtain in them a vote sufficient to carry bis name, as an available candidate, into the house of representatives. S.iouid ne however succeed to this extent, lie will exe ude either Webster or Harrison. The friends of Webster look to Harrison as their second choice; and the friends ot Harrison look to Webster as their second choice. Lithe event of the exclusion of either oi tiiese men, his friends will rally to tlie stan dard ot the other. That this combination will abandon their chief, to advance to the presiden cy a in.m who is known to be devoid of talent and strength of character, and whose reputation for political probity and consistency is blas'ed, is utterly incredible. The whigs constitute a very large proportion of tiie disjointed opposi tion to Van Buren; attd they will not forsake a leader in wnom they have confidence, and ex- alt over him, the feeble tool of the nullifiers.— The contest will lie between Van Buren and the whig candidate; should tiie former be thrown mto^i minority, the latter will be elected to the presidency. Judge White has no hold on the affections of any party; and after lie has serv ed tiie purpose of his managers, as a poor tool to weaken the vote of Van Buren in the South, ne will be laid asid<* without regret or struggle. Any vote winch ihose who use tiis name, may succeed in withdrawing from Van Buren, will but increase the ciia ices of Webster or Harri son. Notwithstanding meii noisy professions of exclusive devotion to the South, and theirin- teinperate ix:sti!it\ to Van Buren, as a northern man, the nullifiers- are in eff*ci labouring in tiie cause of a northern man, w o is far more ob jectionable to the South. Harrison is a feder alist of the alien and sedition stamp; Webster is a federalist of the Hartford Convention school, fl irrison lias preserved a cautious silence in re lation to the abolitionists; Webster voted against rejecting the prayer- of the abolition petitions; and these are tiie men, whose election is aided by the nullifiers, in preference to Van Buren, a firm and consistent democrat, who lias de dared an uncompromising hostility to tnc t!e- si"ns of the abolitionists is incumbered with women and children.

On both of these points we must be beaten, whatever talent and energy wc mav carry to the contest. The people of the northern states outnumber us; and will be able to secure their permanent success, in all the elections, and in the distribution of all the favors of the go vernment. Such a state of things wiR fasten on the South, perpetual defeat. The nullifiers labour to reduce us to this wretched and de. grading inferiority, because John C. Calhoun envies and hates Martin Van Buren. They have made themselves the miserable tools of a disappointed, unprincipled, and malevolent man. If permitted, they would sacrifice the permanent interests of the South to his evil ambition. If thev should succeed in theircrusad'* against Mr. Van Buren, they would secure the election °ra northern man, incomnnrablv more objec tionable to the South.

April‘il, I33G. P. S. Is it possible that the miserable sophis try of Judge Lougstreet can induce any con siderablc number of old Clark men to abandon a party of which they, with their old associates, constitute an overwhelming majority, for the purpose of coalescing with a party, of which they would compose a small minority? With their old associates, they can give direction to the party to which they now belong; with the nullifiers, they could not hope to exert a con trolling influence; the nullifiers would always outnumber thenij^/br/Afl body of the Clark parly will preserve its connection with the Union party. On another occasion, and under another name, I warned the Troup party of the danger which threatened them. It was the warning of a friend; but it was disregarded, and they are now reaping the bitter fruits of their heed- lessness. I now warn the Union party of the danger which threatens them. They had but a moderate majority at the last elections. “The change of a few thousand would deprive them of that majority. So sure, then, as they allow themselves to be da-ided by friead or fok, so sure they will be thrown, even earlier than Judge Longstrect predicts, into a weak and hopeless minority.” The insidious bearing of Judge Longstreet in relation to General Glascock will ba noticed in a subsequent number. In the mean time, 1 venture the opinion, that it will fail of its designs. That gentleman, like most of his associa.es, is loo old to be caught with chaff. L. dread of danger if men will turn out like men. SAMUEL HOUSTON, Comma nder-in chiej'. Col. Fannin evacuated Goliad on the 19th March, by order of General Houston, Command er-in-chief; his force was between *209 and D 40; about 8 miles east of the furt they were sur rounded bv the enemy witii 2009 cavalry and infantry. The advance guard were cut off, 28 in number. The attack was made by the enemy between 4 and 5 o’clock, PM. Fannin fought them until late in the evening, and repulsed them with a small loss on his part, while that of the enemy was 190 killed! and many wounded.— After the enemy had fallen back, Col. Fannin entrenched himself during the night. On the following morning the enemy showed a white flag. Fannin went out to meet the commanding general, who represented to colonel Fannin that he knew the force opposed to him—that lie was entrenched in an open prairie without water, that he was surrounded, and that his men must perish,that lie wished to show him quarters, Ajc. A capitulation was made with the usual forms of honorable warfare; Col. Fannin was to lay down bis arms, and march back lo Goliad, where they were to remain six oreiglit days as prison ers of war, to be shipped to New Orleans from Copano. They surrendered on these conditions, on tiie 9tii day after their arrival at Goliad: they were assured that a vessel was ready to receive them at Copano, to embark for New Orle.uis Col. F. marched out in file, the Mex icans each side of him. They were marched down about five miles, and the order was given ta fire upon them. At the first fire nearlyevcry man fell—a Mr. Hudd n of Texas and three others succeed in reachingsome bushes 100 yards distant. They were pursued by the enemy into the high grass, where they lost sight of them. Hudden remained in tiie grass all night; in f morning he succeeded in making his escape.

In a communication to the go vernor of Louisiana, dated April 8, 1830, Gen eral Gaines states, that he has been informed that Manual Flores, a Mexican Spaniard, com- missioned by persons professing to act under the authority of-the Mexican government, has en deavoured to induce the Indians in the western prairies, within the bounds of the United States, to assist the Mexicans in the war of extermina tion against t ho Tex tans; and that, passing up the valley of the Red River, he has produced much excitement among the Caddo Indians.— The circumstances have induced General Gaines to apply to the governor of Louisiana for a bri gade, to consist of two or three battnlhons of volunteers—as many mounted as practicable: to keep the Indians from taking any part in the hostilities. In a letter from Fort Joseph, dated April 14th, it is stated, that fifteen hundred Indians have joined the Mexican army; that hundreds of families are fl> ing from the ruthless savages; and ihat all is confusion between I'ort Joseph and San Augustine. Governor Quitman, it is saiu, is rallying the dispersed inhabitants, in order to piotccf the unfortunate women and children, who are hastening with nil possible despatch, to the Sabine. Genera!

To the People of the East of Brazos: My Encampment is preparing on the west of Brazos, where I shall wait (or some supplies and reinfercenfcnts. My inclination never has been ?o cross the Brazoa, nnd'the false reports From the Southern Recorder. Mssscs Editors —1 am required to give a hriof state ment of the conduct of the Baldwin Cavalry, while at Ricolata under my command. In complying with the request, I indulge neither personal nor unkind feelings, for I am fully parsuaded that a large majority of those who refused to be mustered into the service, would have j ielded their objections to the regular set vice, could they have anticipated the disapprobation of their fellow-citizens. It is proper ihat a statement should be given, in order iha’ iln conduct of the company should hs placed in correct colors, and parts of it freed from the indiscriminate censure which has been given in some instances lo the whole. We hit Milledgn illeon the ‘Jtii of February, for Picolaia, as one of the companies of a battalion, anticipated to ho formed at Coleraine, upon the St. Marys. We waited two days and a half, and hearing nothing of the other companies, we resumed our march. In the evening of 111? second day we reached Jacksonville upon the St. John’s river; hero, as ut St. Marys, tlprewasa feeling of mutiny among soma ol' tiie company. 1 here stated to the corps, that we left home as volunteers, and that I would not disgrace my command by reporting any member of the company to (ieneral Scot; in strings; that those who were afraid or unwilling to go, could lake the other end of the road. This allayed the difficulty, and we proceeded to 1‘icolata. Upon our arrival vve were received with the utmost kind ness and attention; rations to men and horses were not scrupulously measured to us, but were poured to us liberally nnd bountifully. In addition to which, Oerr-ral Scott ten dered us the honor of escorting him lo Fort Drane, and of being upon the right wing of the army. We remained at Picolaia five or six days without hearing front the oilier companies of mounted men, during which time the m-n be came prejudiced lo the life and discipline of regular soldiers, arid were apprehensive that they would he under the imme diate command of regular officers, and joined to some battalion or command other than the one contemplated when they left home. The rules and articles ol' war, under which we were required to lie mustered into the service, formed, with many, insurmountable objections. The men stated that they left their homes for tiie defence of Florida as volunteers, and that they were willing to give their servi ces as such gratuitously, and to serve under General tseoit for three months in any service which he might require, but to be mustered in under the rules and articles of war, they would not. To allay all difficulty and remove the doubts of the most scrupulous, I called the company to gether, and asked them, if their objections tu the rules and articles of war, and their apprehension of being attached lo some other command could be obviated, if 1 could then he authorised to pledge i hem to the command of General Scott. They v lanimously argreed to serve for three months if h. id as a separate or independent company, and not required to be mustered in under the discipline of regulars.
