BEAucHAMp.-The tragedy, in which this
wretched man was conspicuous actor, seems not
to have closed with the period Of life, but is about
to be revived with all its original freshness and dis
NAL colorng. II will be remembered by our read
ers, that previous to the execution of BEAUcHAMP.
an attempt was made by him and his friends, to i'm
plicate PATRICK HENRY DARBr,then Editor Of the
Frankfort Commentator, as an accomplice in the
murder; and that some Of the most villalnous cr'-
limitations were made against him, BY the parasites
Of Governor DEsHA, to which party MIR. DARBY
was honestly and warmly opposed These crimi-
nations, might have been expected, led to long
and acrimonious newspaper controversy, between
DARBY and his opponents, and at length portion
ftho public mind was made up, and fastened upon
him the awful crime Of which he was accused by
his enemies Fortunately, however, BEAUcHAMP,
when under the gallows, relented; publicly avow-
ed that DARBY had no participation in the murder
of Col. SHARP. This, one would think, was sufh-
cient to refute all the calumnies OF MIR. DARBY's
enemies, and to dsarm their magnity but 1t
seems that they too incorrigible and too vim
dictive to be satisfied, and have subsequently re-
vived their former allegations. They have got up
book, in which they attempt to prove Mr.. DARBY
guilty Of having been accessary to the murder OF
Col. SOLOMON p. SHARP. The performance is
one Of the most outrageous productions that ever
disgraced any age, and the world will be surprised
a.. ,o.., thot altar NJ h.d baen ttol
Of every charge preferred against him, and after
BEAucHAMP had declared him innocent of any
participation in the murder, his enemies have hal
the audacity to publish book with the following
title
"Beauchamp', Conf fssion-being an account of
the most important circumstances which led to- and
attended the murder of Col. Solomon P. Sharp
who was assassinated in Frank fort, Kentucky, on
the night preceding the commencement OF the ses-
sion Of the Legislature of 1825by one Patrick Hen
~ Darby and JeroJoam o. Beauchamp-wrtten
by said Beauchamp, Immediately on being con-
demned 20 die, for the murder"
This extraordinary production has called Mr.
DARBY before the public in a long and interesting
article, in which he refutes, very unnecessarily the
calumnies Of his enemies, and has shown, in very
perspicuous manner tine arts which were resortedo
by his enemies to blast his fame, and to cut off eve
ry prospect of happiness this side Of the grave. He
assails the publication in an eloquent and spirited
manner, whilst evidently smartng under the pangs
Of lacerated feelings, wrought up to the very pitch
by the prosecutions of band of infamous and COW.
ardly desperadoes, who have vainously attempted
to associate him with BEAucHAMP, in the murder
of Col. SHARP.
In the course Of hi. reply he accuses several emf
nent men of the western country, with having been
concerned in the attempt to ruin him, and among
others, are the names of JoHN II. EATON, of the
United States Senate, SAMUEL HoUsroN, of the
House of Representatives, Governor DEsHA, Of
Kentucky and that distinguished orator of the West
the Hon. FELIX GRUNDY.
Mr.. DARBY attributes the Vaccinations of those
men, and their hostility towards him, to differ
Of opinion relative to local political subjects
and 10 the exercise Of the bsser qualities of the
heart, which urge men on to the commission Of
those little acts, which are unworthy Of the men,
bers ofcivilized life. The publication which Mr.
DARBY has offered to the public, is from its ma
lure duu HonheI, peculiarly ihteTestinS, we
cannot but regret that circumstances should have
induced him to make it. 1t will undoubtedly open
afresh, a thousand acrimonious streams which have
already disranquilised the harmony Of the citizens
OF Kentucky, and lead to fresh canvass Of the
crimes Of ofBEAUcHAMP, the wretched murderer Of
SHARP, who to revenge the wife of his bosom
and to PROSTATE her infamous seducer and caumni-
ator, pierced his fendlike heart with the roinard
Of the midnight assassin.
BEAUcHAMP Is Gead;-he expiated his crime on
the galows-he fell martyr to misguided love-
yet he did whatever any other man would do, he
assassnated the villain, who basey doomed to eter-
nal shame, the wife of his bosom, the woman Of his
choice and preterrng death to life of infamy, and
the of cold hearted world, he sumbers with
her in that grave, where their mutual sorrows and
suAerngs are ulled into repose. Though mur-
derer-peace to hi, names.
