EXECUTION OF JOHN SWEAT.

The execution of JOHN SWEAT, for the murder OF
Thomas P. PICKET, took place in pursuance of his
sentence, on Friday last, at Lancastervle. A
correspondent on the spot has sent the following
communication containing the last and dying words
of the criminal. We have no room for remarks,
at length on this paper, but from hasty perusal,
and from all we have heard of the case before and
sincc the trial of SWEAT, we are inclined 10 ques-
tion the impartiaty and entire correctness of all
these dying words. Our correspondent has, however,
we doubt not, faithfully reported them:
sWEArS CONFESSION.
As am about to suffer the sentence of the law for
the murder Of Thomas P Pickett, it is, perhaps cx-
pcctcd, and in accordance with that expectation I
desire to make statement of the facts which led on
to, and ended in his death-as well that may put
my country in possession of the true state of the
facts, that by doing, l my do all in my power
to atone for the violated justice of my country by
true and open confession of my guilt SO far as an
impartial country, after hearing this my confession,
shall Judge me guilty-and that, by it may bear
this my last and dying testmonyto the soul.destroy-
ing and accurscd consequences Of DRUNKENNESS and
SApDATH.BREAKlSo-the two great crying sins Of
the day. And in making this do it as in the pre-
sence of Almighty God-bcforc whom know l am
now shortly toappear. hope, therefore, my fellow
citizens will receive it, indeed it is, the truth, and
nothing but the truth. And will here observe that
though it may appear in making this statement,
rather advocating my cause, and maintaining my in
nocencc, nothing is farther from my object. No!
am guty-truly guilty, before my God. / feel that
l deserve infinitely more than can conceive. But
whether am guilty of murder in legal point of
view, is not for me to say-an impartial jury of my
country. on the evidence b, fore them, hive once
said, and shall suffer most cheerfuly. take this
occasion to say, that what shall say is not said ir
a spirit, of unkindness. No-so far from there being
any spirit of unkindness in my breast towards any
person, ansay, in view of eternity and in the SIM
ceriiy ofmy soul, that am in charity with theghole
world-nor is there any spirit of malice revenge, or
any other unhoy passion iii my heart-God is wit
ness-But fergertly love the whole family of man.

NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY.

Our National Anniversary was celebrated on Sat
urday last with the spirit and enthusiasm which
has heretofore marked the return of the birthday OF
our National Independence. The day was ushered
in by the firing of cannon and the ringing of bells.
At 9 o'clock the citizens assembled at the Court
House. and proceeded t, the election Of an orator for
the next Anniversary, which resulted in the choice
of B. B. SALMoND Esq, The following gentlemen
were appointed Committee of Arrangements for
that occasion: J. CANTEY, w. CARLISLE and X. S.
MoFFAr.
After the election the citizens and Military, un-
der tho direction of Adutant Gen. CANTsy, assisted
by Mai J.. D. MURRAY, marched in procession to
the Presbyterian Church, when, after an appropriate
and impressive prayer by the Rev. w. c. KIRKLAND,
the following anthem from the accomplished pen of
Miss PHELPS was sung by the choir.
Ali hail tho glorious dead,
That fell in freedoms Cause
That for Coumbia's soil have bled,
Her Liberty and Laws.
Mid triumph's pcals to-day
The trump's exulting tone,
Shall we forget the sumbering clay
That rest beneath yon stone?
No!-Let its scul ptured shrine
Enclose each grateful heart.
And freedora's praise, DEKALD, be thine,
For thou her votary art.
He came mid wars wild din
He came mid scenes of strife,
And he, our country's cause TO win,
Laid down his generous life.
Our country! o! how dear!
For thee each passion swells,
And from her fountains deep and clear
Our fond devotion wells.
Then let each valiant band
Her "Stars and Stripes" display,
And proud unsheatli The glittcring brand
III dark expressions day.
Yes! rally round her fanes.
And guard her bulwarks well,
That while America remains,
Fair Freedom there may dwell.

Hail Columbia" was then sung in fine style by the
choir, after which, Tnos. S. ANDERSON Esq. deliver

In the afternoon, sumptuous barbecue was pro-
vidcd, of which large number of our citizens par.
took and the day passed off without the occurrence
of any event to mar the general joy which seemed
to pcrvade the community.

grace the cheering and cousopg graces Of His Holy
Spirit, and the sure hope which can be derived by
the cheest of Sinners from faith in Christ and par
taking by true faith, of the Sacraments of His Holy
Catholic Church. -
From my infancy until "a few weeks since, I was
amiserabe, ignorant and blind sinner, and would, in
oil probability have gone down into everlasting bul-
ngs had it not have been for the great mercy Of God
who, through the instumentality of my very dear
and ever to be remembered spiritual father pointed
my wretchcd soul to the Lamb of God, who takeli
away the sins of the world. Thanks be to God for
His unspeakable gift, and for. His gra,e, con.
yeycd to my soul through the channels of His Holy
Catholic Church. And oh, my dear friends, l
sincerely exhor you TO beware how you abuse, and il
is uwfully 10 be feared blaspheme, what, through
prejudice, many do not understand. For tho last six
days, my dear teacher and guide has spent at least
six hours each day shut up the noynus atmosphere
of my miserable CELL pointing me to the only hope
Of poor snners-the blessed Redeemer--pray with
and for me- and affording mo the sou.consoling and
cheering comforts Of the Church. His labor has not
been in vain in the Lord; and confidently trust and
hope, that I--eyen Ia miserable and unworthy
sinner will be star of rejoicing in his crown of go
ry, forever. ~
In closing these, my last words on earth, must
tender my sincere thanks to those who had charge Of
me while in jail-but especially those dear friends
who have disintercstedly entertained and extended
their charities to my dear, disconsoate wife and child
pray God 10 shower down his choicest blessings
upon them and theirs, both for time and eterny-and
to all, grace. mercy and peace. Amen.
