found guilty O0 the testimony 0S hlakea
 aunt. Judge Booth granted an appeal to the &preme Court, which reversed the whole pt6ceedings, declaring the testimony to be
 "unfit to be received by any Court of Justice recognized among civilized nations" Pre-
 vious to this, by the advice of his uncle, Mr.
 Lore left the prison in which he was cOnfin-
 cd at Abbeville, the keeper opening the door, \ and aiding his escape, and returned to his family in Delaware, where he has spent his timo ever since until few days ago. when he returned among his enemies to look after
 and secure his property. Before he had re- | turned, however, Mitchell, the man at whose
 instigations he was first arrested. had been ! charged with the murder of Blake, and ar-
 rested as his murderer! This fact greatly
 incensed the friends ot Mitchell against the 1 unfortunate and innocent Lore, who arrived l at his plantation on the 2d inst, was sur 1 rounded by them, dragged to Glenville, and, in definace of his repeated Oaths, and proteS- 1 tations of innocence, hung him!
 Mr. Lore has several friends in this city and a large number in Massachusetts, ha- wing spent three years at the Wesleyan Aca-
 denny ot Wilbraham, previous to his going 1 south. By all be will be remembered as a high. h.minded, virtuous and honorable young
 man, who never had an enemy before he fell into the hands of the lawless gang who mur-
 dered him; but who was universally belo-
 we'd and respected. He has fallen a victim
 to the most helIish passion that can dwell within the human breast, and the country, the people and the laws of Alabama are dis graced, most foully disgraced, in the horrible | transaction which has robbed him of his life. WAN4RD-We want neat, healthy, in-

 throwing it up to us that we are bachelor. Secondly, we have no time to go a-ceurting, for as soon as we are done writing editorials
 we have other business to attend to in our
 office. Thirdly, the eastern papers say that l a very cold winter is coming Fourthly, we shall be thirty two years old on the l7th day

 T1oN.-We think the Whig presses general
 lv now see the propriety of holding Ma tional Convention to nominate a candidate for the Presidency, as well as for the Vice
 Presidency. MT. CLAY is undoubtedly the
 choice of the party, for the first named of- flee, but to produce complete union in our
 ranks. and bring out the entire Whig strength, he must have the nomination of a National Convention. That it is his own
 desire that his claims should be submitted to convention, may be gathered from the following article from late number of the Lexington Intelligencer, paper published in his immediate neighborhood, and which
 has the credit of being his organ.
 ~ Hargford Courans. From the Lsuineton tKy.)' )'Inteligs"csr.
 ,"It will be remembered that MT. Clay
 has not accepted any of the numerous local
 or state nominations, which have been
 made of him for the next Presidency; nor
 will he, we believe, permit his name to be
 used in connection with that office, unless fully impressed with the idea. that maje- rity of the Anserican pegple--the great Whig paTty-desireh his electlun. MT. Clay himself could not, if he would,
 transfer his towering popularity to any
 other leader, any more than he could his past history. His 0nrewarded services and
 sufferings in the Whig cause, have made
 him bone of their bone, and no base fear or | timid policy will ever induce them to give up or abandon him. The nomination, then, l of National Convention, or rather its rati-
 fcGtion of the peoples nomination, already
 made, would, in our opinion, give him such
 conclusive evidence of public sentiment as
 would induce him to accept the position
 thus assigned him.
 A National Convention is advisable for
 the purpose of concentrating the entire Whig vote upon one candidate for Vice Presi-
 dent, as there is no reason to apprehend a
 non-election by the people, if the names of
 all the distinguished gentlemen now spoken of, shall remain upon the list. But the most l insportaM reason. perhGps, IS 10 produce hGrmO- ] ny concert, energy and self deuotion in the Whig
 ranks, by assembling together our chosen
 friends, 'the Whig fathers of the land.' to
 hold common council for the general good.
 This will ensure as certain and glorious a victory over "VETo and DIrTo," the traitor
 and the fWrncoGt, as we obtained over the plundering office holders in 164O.
 While on this subject, we hope we may
 be pardoned for suggesting the city of Bal l timore as the place for holding the conven- | tion, as most accessible from the West, and
 greatly so with any other city on the sea board to the South and North. The time,
 about the 2d Monday in December, 1s43, 1 to be as numerously attended as convenient,
 with power for each delegation to vote the
 full electoral vote of the state represented. This will place the near and distant states
 upon a perfect equality and express the | voice of the Electoral College"
