WHO put into his hands knife Of peculiar
construction, Ia pattern of which we have
seen,) such as are carried by the assassins
of that portion Of the country, with an in
junction to use it on himself; and the
W hole family have been seen on their knees
at prayers, invoking God that he might not
die coward.
A short time previous to the day on
which he was ordered to he hanged, he
made two attempts on his left breast, with
the instrument given him, but his courage
failed. He was goaded on to the fatal deed
by his brother, and he plunged it between
his ribs seven inches in depth, perforating
his heart. This knife, covered with his
blood, is now held by his family as trophy
of honor. The body was delivered up to
the family, taken home, and buried with
military honors.
To show the utter recklessness of this
horrible crew they have sworn that the Gov.
who refused to pardon him, the iailer who
confined, and the Judge who sentenced him
shall die by their hands-and even the sis
ter declares that if these deeds are delayed,
she will train her little boys up for the pur-
pose of putting them TO death. This fend-
ish woman had armed herself for the pur-
pose of assassnaiing her brother on the way
to execution, had he failed himself to per-
form the deed.
But the whole Of the story is not told.
The family, Immediately on hearing the
death of the young man, employed a gen.
tleman of this city to take cast of his face
in cement, and procure bust 10 be made
fromit. The cast was taken while the BODY
was yet warm, and young man who ao-
companied him, executed the bust, which.
was considered an admirable likeness, for
which they agreed to pay him haudred
and ten dollars After repeated applica--
tons for the money, which was not paid,
the family having returned home, he left
the city, repaired to their residence, and de.
manded the amount promised him. The
elder brother bade him be off, or he would
kill him, and drew his knife, but his DUR
pose was prevented by the interposition of
his mother. The young man mounted his
horse. and was returning to New-Orleans,
but was intercepted next evening on the
road by two of the Whitakers, painted and
disguised. They first insulted him by ask
ing him who he was, whence he came, &. !;
. but he, knowing their object, drew pistol,
and shot one of them dead on the spot. He
fled, soon after abandoned his horse, and
took to the woods, where he secreted him
self during the day, and travelled by night.
An hour after his arrival at New-Orleans,
he lad been preceded by the remaining
Whitaker and another person, who inquir-
ed for him at his lodgings. His landlord
kindly informed him of the fact, and plac-
ced him on board ship bound to Mobile, at
which place he arrived in safety.

We copy the following from the Boston
Courier, a Whig paper: MR. BELLS
SPEECH on the Harbor Bill, has been pub
lished, with compliments, in several Of tue
Whig papers. Although professedIy OH a
bill making appropriations for the improve
ment of certain harbors, it is in reality an
electioneering speech in favor Of Judge
White. Mr.. Bell opposed the appropria-
tions for harbors and for the increase of the
navy. He is at heart Jackson man, and
does not, so far as our knowledge extends,
possess single feeling or sentiment favor
able to the interests of New-England. He
is, indeed, opposed to the election of Mr..
Van Buren,, but he is us strongly opposed
to MIR. Webster. He is a narrow minded
Tennessean, and never supposed that any
man could be statesman that was not an
inhabitant Of that State, nor has il ever en-
tered his imagination that Tennessee is no,
the centre Of the Union, and the special res
idence of the Creator. He is now rettipg
to be n lion, merely on account Of his de-
votion TO Judge white-snd his opposition
to Mr.. Polk, who was his successful rival
for the SPesker's chair.

ed and when he had finished loud shout
announced the appreciation Of the audience.
II is impossible for person Who has not
witnessed scene Of this character, TO have
a knowledge of the high esteem in which
Colonel johnson is held by his immediate
neighbors. Contrary to the idea Of MIR.
Hood, where he Is best known he is best
beloved. Those who know him by his pnb-
lie acts, may admire him for the splendid
moral and intellectual endOwments which
have made him the architect of great events,
but it is for those alone who have expert
enced his kindness and generosity as a
neighbor and benefactor, to love him to the
extent Of his deserving. His return, after
a long session Of Congress, is not looked
upon with the wonder and idle curiosity
which the presence of great man usually
excites in ignorant minds, but with feelings
of kindly pleasure, such as we have in greet
ing our dearest friend after long separa-
non. The popularity of Col Johnson is
more substantial than any thing which
could grow out of mere party policy. His
friends are not men who are only willing to
vote for him to sustain their own interests
as indiv viduaIs, but men who are willing To
link their fortunes with his own, and st and
with him or fall with him."

The Whitakers.-The tragedy which
happened last spring in New-Orleans, is
probably fresh in the minds of our readers,
but the particulars attendant on it, which
we give below, have never been published
probably for the substantial reason that the
lives of the editors of that city, had they
published them, might have been the for
felt.
The Whitaker family, noted desperadoes
reside at considerable distance from New
Orleans, on the Mississippi, and are the ter
ror of that part of the country. Young
Whitaker, the convict and suicide, is said
to have been obnoxious to the censure OF
his brothers, on account of the timidity, al
though he had committed at least one mur-
der previous to that of which he had been
convicted. The latter was perpetrated IN a
bar room, on the person of the keeper, be-
cause he did not wait on him quick enough
Whitaker drew his. knife, and stabbed him Ia
the heart.
lie was arrested, tried convicted and SEN
fenced to death. The family, consisting oi
the father, mother, two brothers and sister,
repaired tn New Orleans with the determiu-
alton Of effecting his rescue, or putting him
To death with their own hands. Our infor-
mant states that the elder brother told him
that he had paid the keeper of the prison
$4,000 to be instrumental in his liberation.
Il is true that he sawed off the bars of his
prison window, and was in the act Of rum
ming off, when he was retaken and carried
back to Jail where he was more closely con-
fined than before. The day Of execution
drawing near. and little chance being left
that he would gain his freedom, his family
determined that the gibbct should lose its
victim. They therefore furnished him with
laudanum, which was either not taken by
him, or failed in its intended effect. He
was afterwsrd visited by one Of the family,
