except some commission, relating to Mexican 
claims. He was Secretary of War under Mr. 
Poi.k; and as such planned the campaign which 
enabled our army to cover itself with glory on the 
various hard fought fields of Mexico, lie was 
brought forward by his friends as a Presidential 
candidate in 1852; but tho hostility of a portion 
of the New York delegation prevented his nomina¬ 
tion. The last public office which he held, and in 
which be achieved the highest civic honors, was 
that of Secretary of State, under Gen. Pierce.— 
It was his singular good fortune to he called upon 
to discuss with the Representatives of Foreign 
Governments, some of the most important ques¬ 
tions that have ever arisen in American Diplomacy, 
And it is safe to say that no American Secretary 
of State has gone to his grave leaving behind him 
a higher reputation as a Statesman than Gov. 
Marcy. His powerful State Papers have reflected 
the highest honor not only upon himself, but upon 
us as a people. They are so recent as to be fresh 
in the minds of all his intelligent conntryment; 
and were there occasion for more particular refer¬ 
ence to them here, we, at least, should shrink from 
the task. It may he well to remark, however, that 
Canadian Reciprocity is one of the measures which 
he originated and carried to consummation.

Death of William L. Marcy. 
Another of those who, for many years, has filled 
the most important positions and engrossed the 
public mind, has departed, and onr country has 
lost what she could illy spare, an estimable citizen 
and an eminently gifted statesman. On the Fourth 
of July, like unto Adams, Jefferson andMoNROB, 
W. L. Marcy* realized “that it is appointed unto I 
man once to die,” and while his countrymen were 
celebrating the Birth-Day of American Liberty, he 
exchanged worlds, solving the great problem of 
Life and Death, Time and Eternity. 
The circumstances attending his demise were 
peculiar. He was stopping at the Sans Bouci no¬ 
te!, Ballston Springs, and had been in good health 
and spirits until the evening of the 3d inst., when 
he felt somewhat fatigued. On the morning of the 
Fourth he complained of a slight pain—or “stitch” 
as he termed it — in his hack. About 11 o’clock, 
A. M., accompanied by one of the citizens, he 
walked to the residence of Dr. L. Moore, which is 
about one quarter of a mile from the hotel. He 
did not complain of serious indisposition while at 
the doctor’s residence, and not finding the physi¬ 
cian in, on being asked if a carriage should be 
ordered to take him to the hotel, he refused to take 
one, and walked back. On arriving at the hotel, 
he requested the office clerk to send the doctor to 
his room; and the doctor soon arriving, was sent 
up to the Governor’s room—hut, on rapping, re¬ 
ceived no answer. The doctor returned to the

Decline in tbb Sugar Market, —Those afflict¬

began to despair, such extreme rates has this 
saccharine article commanded. There is, how¬ 
ever, cause for rejoicing, though the falling off is 
not rapid—prices some time since having reached 
their maximum. The N. Y. Courier <$* Enquirer, 
of the 1st inst., says that there is promise of a de¬
