executed yesterday on Sylvester Colson, alias
Winslow Curtis, convicted at The late term Of
the Circuit Courl Of The murder OF Edward Sell

Of the county Jail about II O'Clock. He was

the spectacle, amongst which, we are sorry to
state, were number Of females. The water
surrounding the wharves in that part OF the city
was covered with firm body Of ice, which
formed platform for the accommodation Of
crowds of spectators. During the PRAYER and
the reading of the warrant for execution by
Marshal Harris, the spectators kept profound
silence, and conducted otherwise win great
propriery
After hanging about forty minutes, the body
was taken down and conveyed to one of the
rooms belonging to the prison, where some gal
vanic experiments were performed by DR.

we have not heard.
The real name Of this wretched culprit was
Sylvester Co!son He was one Of ten children.
His parents now live at Buoksport in the State
of Maine, one Of whom, the father, has been TO
see him while under sentence Of death. He
left his parents about four years ago, and hav-
ing changed his name, they had never known
any thing of HIM till he was broush' here for

= HE hEhOShA CN l..
Such was the note Of Mr.. M'Lane, and who
could doubt any thing uttered by Mr.. M'Lahe,
c hartman of the committee OF ways and means,
and withal so very impartial a man? Such was
| Mr.. M'Lane's note, which was echoed in the
house and in the senate, IN season and out of
season. till no doubt many homes, men, who
have not yet found out the character of this op.
position, began to think there must be some
thing in il.
This was we'll oontrived. In a government
like ours, where those who pay the taxes,choose
the rulers. the treasury is the great Sensorium.
1t is the treasury, in which the Republic Sic
kens and in the treasury, that it possesses
health. A wise and discriminating people will
not. indeed, make the men, whom they have
raised TO Office, responsible for what is be-
yond their control. Where a revenue is
raised by imposts on foreign trade, it must
auctuate, according TO circumstances, and
the growth Of our own manufactures-how-
ever favorable in other respec's-must, to a
certain degree, impair it-Bpt where the
treasury is full: where every branch Of the
public service is vigorously kept up, and a sur
plus left for paying the public debt, there the
People will not be easily persuaded, that things
are going wrong, At least the people Of Penn
s~ylvania will not; and the people Of Pennsylva-
MIA may claim some liltle notion Of treasury
matters. They have furnished a Rush, whom
they think a good inancier, though Mr.. M'Lane
does not; and they have furnished a Dallas.
whose abilities as a 6nancier perhaps even Mr..
M'Lane would not deny; and they have furnish
ed a GaLatin, whom we suppose even Mr..
M'Lane will admit knows something Of the
matter.
Blu, 10 the point The Treasury, il seems, is
empty This assertion was made and confident
ly repeated, and we now behold advertisements
in all our papers, for what?-To borrow money
to fill this empty treasury? No-What then?
Why jus, TO pay off flee millions Of the public debt
ON the first ofJaiy. That's all; or rather it is not
all; its only half: because there will be five mil
lions more paid off next January Ten millions
a year Of the public debt paid III, with an emp
~ Treasury, is certainly petty well.
Another ii ne, sir, | shall tell you a little
more about he Treasury, and the fate Of the
bill for omsring The interest on the public
debt and sacing anou, half a million to the trea-
sury; and | Shall let you know by whose means

7, is rumored, (says the National Intelligent
cor Of Yesterday that, at a late date, the nego
cations between our Minister in London and the
p,;,;sh Government, concerning the Colonial
Trade, were about to be resumed. The British
Government would gain esteem in this country
hv coming to a good understanding with US on
his subject; and, if the disposition protested
IN MIR. CANNlNG's Note, TO cultivate friendly re-
,,,;ons with US, be really entertained, which WE
are not disposed to doubt, the rumor is proba-
blv not without foundation.
