strange confession, curious subject for self

dent might choose to crack his jokes, but since

The Democrat makes itself merry that the
distinguished gentleman who has charge of
the Insane Asylum in this place was chosen as
delegate to the Wing Convention. 1t GER
tainly did offer fair chance for the display of
small wit, and the Democrat has done the ia
cetious thing handsomely enough. We ''con-
TESS HIT" Such piece is rare in the Demo
crat the laugh was very successfully turned
upon us, and the BLACKBOARD used was not re7y
disgusting. A gentleman might have written
the article, and not blush much TO be known as
the author. We could wish, not for the sake
of our own party, for its interests are perhaps
better promoted by the present course of the
Democrat, but for the honor Of our common
humanity, that the veteran editor Of that paper
might see reason 10 think that his zeal for party
did not render il indispensable FOR him TO throw
mud, and crowd his columns with blackguard.
We may err, but however il may be with the
leaders, we are unwilling TO believe that the
respectable minority of sturdy farmers aud
mechanics who have been unfortunately in
duced TO embrace the doctrines Of modern de-
mocracy, require from the Democrat a weekly
tissue of personalities and scuuility. II is true
that aweak cause cannot trust to fair argument,
just criticism, and wit unstained with black
guardism, and perhaps we may be unreasona-
BILE in blaming the Democrat for yielding to
the force Of circumstances. To return TO the
article which suggested these remarks-the
answer TO the humour Of the Democrat is very
obvious Madmen do not of their own accord
call for the assistance Of physician; it is the
sane portion Of the community who secure his
services when they are taking compulsory
measures for the welfare Of their maniac
brethren, in spite Of their crazy struggles to be
left TO their own destructive devices. SO with
us. It was both natural and judicious for the
Wings when about TO institute proceedings
designed TO prevent our frenzied countrymen
from running themselves and the State, in their
insanity, 10 take into their counsels gentle
man eminent for his skill in treating those who
have lost their reason, or who have never been
blessed with a saving portion of that divine
gift. Though it might be well for the country
were the leaders of the tory party snugly be-
slowed in a mad-house, we do not expect so
nucn Soou 10 feSuN from our eAcrtlOnS even
with the Doctors help, but we confidently trust
that we shall devise medicine and a system
of cure, which will restore large portion Of
the honest part Of that party to their senses, or
at least restrain them from injurng themselves
and others by their folly.
A tory acquaintance tells us that the learned
Doctor is not Wing. Personally we know
nothing about the matter, but the gentlemen
who nominated him were his friends, and we
presume knew his sentiments. AT any rate
we desire always 10 think as well Of our neigh
bors as possible; charity requires that we think
no evil of any one, till evil be proved-and
therefore we hold tina, every respectable man
has a right to be considered Wing till he be
convicted OF loco focoism.

Our correspondent is entirely mistaken we
have no " use to make of the information."-
We suspect he has been misinformed, but be

equally "useless" to us. The Editor of the

egregious ass whom our correspondent mem
tons, but we shall always treat that Editor as
a mere abstraction, without local habitation,
or name" Personalities may be kaightiy,
though we doubt of it, but they are too cow
ardly for us to use.

EExEcuroN. The Pirate, Cornelius Will
helms, was executed yesterday, (friday,) at
noon, on EiIis's Island. He had been remov
ed, the night before, to Bellevue, in conse-
quence of deposition he had made, that Bish-
op, his keeper at the City Prison, had accepted
ola bride Of $500, and furnished him with files
to make his escape; aud this cold blooded
murderer, who evinced, throughout the whole
of his Imprisonment, and up TO launching into
eternity, the most appalling obtuseness OF sensi-
biliiy and Indifference to his fate, pretended that
he could not go out Of the world without max
ing this disclosure. II is believed to have been
a mere subterfuge TO gain time, hoping he
would be required as evidence, and, therefore,
have short reprieve. Mr.. Bishop, however,
was arrested, but no one puts any confidence
10 the convict's accusations against him. At
half pas, eight A. NJ. the prisoner was
conducted on board the steam boat Ho-
boken, which had gone TO Bellevue for that
purpose, and which had on board TWO compa-
MES Of u. s. marines under Col. Boon, and
also the U. S. Civil Officers, and several Of the
press. aud other invited persons. On arriving
at Ellis's Island, in the bay, he was placed in
a room with a clergyman, but exhibited such
horror, and even rancour, at these useless cere-
monies, as he called them, that nj his express
desire, he was conducted TO the gallows half
an hour before the time intended for execution,
which was one p. NJ. II is unnecessary TO de-
tail the expressions that dropped from this IN
feeling mans lips, and which indicated an ut
ter absence of every feeling of remorse. or even
decency. He never in walk or look manifest
ed the slightest emotion--not even when ar
rived beneath the gallows, thus evincing the
apathy of brute beast. He said 10 several
around him he was innocent, and murdered
man that he had killed the captain because
he was a hard master; that he was not afraid
to die, &c. Finally he complained OF thirst,
and called for drink. The cap being about TO
be adjusted, he thrust il aside CONTEMPORARY,
saying he had no need of il. AT length, all be-
ing prepared, aud having drank, he said, - Pm
ready - He was Immediately jerked into eter-
nifty, and scarcely made a movement except
grasping his hands together for q moment. In
thirty minutes he was cut down, and the fea-
lures exhibited not the slightest distortion, but
wore rather mild look. Whilhelms was dress
sed in blue jacket and roundabout and humps.
Even on this distant island ia the bay there
were gathered sir thousand spectators, and
among them many women. The body was
too cold when cut down for galyanic expert
ments, as there is no battery (at least yoltaic
one) on the island.

The Wings Of Washington County met in
County Convention at the Court House al
Montpelier, on the 18th inst; r. c. Buckley,
once supporter of the national adminisira-
ton, was chosen president Of the Convention
and delivered an able speech, the following
brief sketch of which we extract from the
Waterman and Journal:
Mr. Buckley addressed the convention brief.
ly he had acted with the administration par
ty, until that party had abandoned every prin-
clple OF democracy upon which it had profess
ed TO act-unlil il had subverted the very foun-
dation of republicanism, and made subservien-
cy TO Executive power and passive obedience
TO the commanders Of federal officee-holders,
the tests Of political orthodoxy. He had moi
left the democratic party but rather the Van
Buren, men, following the lights offalse demo-
crazy, had left him. He was convinced that
the doctrines avowed by the Wing party were
mainly correct, and essentially accordanl with
the democracy of olden days. On this ground.
as one who had endeayored to give constant
support to republican principles, he appeared
here as a Wing.
John l.. Buck of Mortified and ARENAS
Cushman of Warren were recommended by
the Convention as Candidates for Senators.
