EXECUTION OF JAMES HAMILTON.

/ EXECUTION OF JAMES HAMILTON.
The unhappy, the unfortunate HamiI-
ton has expiated his congregated iniqui-
ties by christian penance, and an igno-
minious death. The untimeIy fate of the
gallant Birdsall, called down deserved
imprecations upon the head of the assassin,
but his untoward and unprotected situa-
ton, has extorted sympathy from every
feeling bosom. Illegitimate, and ADAM
doned as he was, by his natural parents,
he passed through a career of open and
undisguised vice, without an anxious
Mother to cultivate barren mind and
inculcate the governing principles of
youthful virtue, or watchful Father, to
regulate and restrict heated an impetu-
GUS temper. From his youth upwards,
TO the fatal act which terminated bis earth
ly career, he has been involved in an
uninterrupted scene of vice; the first
principles of which, were imbibed in the
city of New Y ork /; and progressed till
finally matured into the most hardened
depravity while in the army.
. The crime which has now hurried him
into another world, we are thoroughly
persuaded, notwithstanding former app
pearauces, was the impulse Of an angry
moment, aud not deliberate, premeditated
murder. He loaded his rifle for the pur-
pose Of shooting coloured man, with
whom he had quarrelled, through the
legs, which he declares was his intention,
had the man not avoided him. That while
thus enraged, with his temper inflamed
by intoxication, he was called on parade,
and in his way, presented himself before
Major Birdsall, who ordered him TO his
duty ;--his burning passions baitled by
the escape of the person who enraged
them, they became ungoyernabie, and his
revenge was insensibly wreaked upon the
Innocent Birdsall. This account he af-
firmed with every appearance Of truth,
and with all the emphasis of christian pen
itence, on the morning Of his execution.
For the first few days of bis confine-
ment, he remained in state Of complete
phrensy, without either rejecting upos
the horrid crime he had perpetrated, or
realizing the still more horrid fate which

what hardly admits of doubt, that in the
comparative view OF the sexes, women are
stroDgest-it is but fair to state on the
other side, that they seldom seem to know
exactly where and in what their great
strength lies; and for this reason is it
that they so often meet with sore discomfit-
ures and defeats. When woman contests
it with man in his own rough way, there
are more than ten chances TO one against
her. In playing the man she is no match
for man. Her masculine air and manner,
move only his laughter and contempt.
Instead of taking fright at her violent yo-
alterations, her menaces, and the glare Of
rage in her visage, nothing, except love
aud esteem, is further from his heart than
fear. She renders herself noIess inpoteni
than disgusting unless she happen to be
yoked with one possessing neither nerve
nor bone-in which case, such victory
over such an husband could afford her but
a worthless triumph at best.
Legitimate female strength lies quite the
other way. Almost ever it exerts itself to
the best advantage on the heart and mil
Of man, or in gently taking his mind pris.
oner, rather than 10 stout attempts at sub
dining his physical powers. Woman il
strong in proportion TO her seeming weak
ness. In willingly and cheerfulIy yielding
to man his due prerogatives, she takes the
readiest way of eusuring her own. BY
leaning on his arm she makes that arm
hers, and nerves it for her own support
and defence. 1t is her fidelity, her mod
esty, her sweetness, her soft persuasive
force, both in word and deed, which rem
der woman inviucible, and invest her with
kind ofparamount power.
Nor is this thing of art, or Of cunning
contrivance SO far otherwise, even the
least appearance of art would addle the
whole compound. 1t is only to act the
woman naturally: it is only to act the well
instructed, wellprincipled woman, in q
manner truly consonant to the peculiar
station and distinct qualities of her sex.
