Mr.. CA1uoux's speech, the subject Of the State
Debts. before our readers to-day. When this prom
ise was made, we contemplated selecting such por
tions of the speech we supposed might convey to
or readers fair view OF the question without pub
fishing it entire, as we considered il TOO long for our
small paper. On looking over it again, however, we
find it impossible to do either Mr. c. or the subject
which he is arguing justice, without giving the whole
speech. and we have determined to do so, though we
have been compelled from its length, 10 dsidc it,
The remainder will be given in our next We hope
no one will suffer it to go unread. Some may sup
pose from The occasion on which it delivered ard
from the fac: that distinct proposition has been
made for the assumption of the debts of tho States,
by the General Government, that it will contain very
little matte. Of interest. Those who form this opin-
ion, will lie agreeably disappointed on its pcr'sa--

BURNED TO DEATu.-On the night of
the 3lsi ult III the western part ofthis coun-
ty a man named William Kerscy was go
badly burned that he died few days af-
forwards. The deceased we understand,
was attending con>lable's election, and
the day being cold, a log fire was builI
upon the ground. Spirits (perhaps in the
form of "treals") circuIatcdp p rely freely
and Kersey became intoxicated. By night
fall or little after, the company dispersed,
and left the unfnrt.nale deceased al ,ne BY
the fire, which communicated to his clo-
thing, burning it off, aud literally roast
ing him alive. He fingered three or four
days before death ended his sufferngs.
