PRESIDENTIAL.

1t is yet considered extremely doubtful
whether Adams or jackson will BE- eventually
chosen, the friends of each appearing equally
confident. The Crawfordites also express
hope of success and determination to adhere
to their candidate. They will however with

selection between Adams and Jackson. A
letter received in town from member of Con-
gress expresses confidence that fourteen
States will be for Adams, and hope that six
teen may. We have long since formed an o.
pinion, drawn from consideration of all the
facts relating to the subject that have come
to our knowledge, that Adams would be elect
cd, and we have not, as yet, seen any reason
to alter it though we are not SO confident as
to fell much disappointed if the result should
be otherwise.

EXECUTION OF F.AUNTLEROY.

The subject y hich has of late most engross-
ed public attention in England, has been the
arrest, trial, and execution Of Henry Faunte-
roy, Esq. 3 banker, for extensive forgeries :;
and considerable portion Of the extracts,
made in this country from English papers, has
related to the same subject. We have not
followed the example, because we have too
good an opinion of the taste of our readers,
to believe that they would be gratifed by
such a detail of crime, to the exclusion of
other matter, especially where, as in this case,
there is little to palliate il, or to justify the
very extraordinary degree of sympathy which
has been excited in favor of the criminal.
The amount of the story is, that it was re-
Gently discovered that Fauntleroy had forged
transfers of Stocks TO large amount, was
committed to prison, and subsequently tried
and convicted for the same. By the laws of
England the punishment of forgery is death.
After his commitment no means were left I'M

him, and to the visits of his friends to his pris-
on, were detailed in the newspapers with all
the minuteness of the most important affairs.
After his conviction multitudes of petitions
were gotten up in his behalf, praying the
King 10 pardon him. Among the rest, was
one from his wife, although he had basely de-
serted her, and had not lived with her for
years, but had resided with another woman,
who was in the daily pactice of visiting him
while in prison. very affecting account of
her last interview with him was also publish
ed, which, if true, clearly indicates that, to
the last, his attachment to her was much
stronger than to his wife.
A public execution is circumstance ALWAYS
calculated 10 produce some degree of feeling
in the community, especially when it is for
any crime short of murder; but they are con-
tnually taking place in London without elic-
iting hardly paragraph in the papers, or a
passing remark, and we can see nothing in
this case to justify the very extraordinary
sensation which has been produced.

my apartment in the camp, the slow pace Of
the soldiers, as they assembled around the
tent where he had been laid. saw his
rude coffin raised on the shoulders of the
men; | saw the procession move, and heard
the slow and mournful note of the music, as
t wound along the shore, and died away in
faint echo in the forest. listened till all
was silent but the distant sound Of the drum,
with its slow and equal note, but my heart
was unmoVed; il seemed that nature could
endure no more, and that my heart had be-
come benumbed and callous. But, when
the pause, which precedes the lowering the
pody to its last resting place had passed, and
the first volley had been fred over the grave
OF my lost friend, the feelings, which had

not to happiness.

changed its position during my delirium, but
soon after my recovery was ordered to post

Vember whenthe army boke up, and, in our
second days march, we reached our former
encampment. The scene was changed-the
green forests we're scared, and the cold blasts

in the possession of Edward G. Center, Esq.
a virtuoso of Nantucket, who obtained it from
whaling vessel.
The form of the face, and the natural ex-
preston of the features, were preserved to a
degree far more perfect than we could have
believed possible. This was in part accom-
plished by filling the mouth and the socket Of
the eyes with wax. The long, straight, and
glossy black hair, and the thin scattered
beard remained firmly in the skin, and ap-
peared as beautiful as on any living person.
The skin was smooth, dry, and hard, of the
natural colour, and retained the tattooing in
great perfection.
BY the Charleston Courier it appears that a
similar head has been brought to that city,
from the notice of which we make the follow
ing extracts.
I" The heads OF chiefs alone are preserved,
and the process by which it is accomplished is
described as simple desiccation. A hole is
dug in the ground and lined with heated
stones in this the head is placed, rolled up
IN leaves. and suffered to remain until all the
moisture contained in it has exuded; it is then
taken out and set in current of air until it
becomes thoroughly dry. Thus prepared, the
skin and those parts between it and the bone
become as indestructible as the latter.
6 Tattooing, of which this head affords a
striking example, consists of punctures made IN,
the skin, into which black pigment is rubbed.
These punctures are arranged in lines, so as
to present certain figures, differing in pattern
according TO the fancy of the person suffering
the operation. The particular pattern used
by Chief of New-Zeaiand is said to descend
as coal of arms, from generation to genera
ton. | scarcely know any thing which can
be esteemed an object of more rational curios-
ity than this. There is nothing, certainly,
which impresses more forcbly upon our mind
the infinite difference in habits, manners, and
customs, which characterize the several races
of mankind"

Representative to Congress.

In our last we gave the returns of the votes
for Representative to Congress, from all the
towns in this district, except Hardwick, from
which town there is no hope of our ever hear
ing. Allowing the votes there to have been
as they were at the former trial, Major Davis
has received between 70 and 100 votes more
than his opponent, and the votes given for B.
Taft, Jr. would have elected him by major
ity of 90 or 80. If there had been but two
candidates, he would probably have had be-
tween one and two hundred majority. How
long will it be before people will learn better
than to throw away their votes, and thus de-
feat choice?
