candidate for the Presidency. MIR. Clay
was once heard TO say that "perhaps al
power is a, last resolyable into that Of the

"Mr. CLAY, from the committee 10

LYNCH LAW.

The negro, who murdered the German
shoemaker and his wife, the other da,
near Herculaneum, Missouri, was hum
by the sovereign people on The 5'h inst
according to the code Judge Lynch.
A correspondent of the 81. Louis Re.
publican gives the following details Of !hi;
atrocious act of awIess violence:
The sheriff being on the ground, the
key of the jail was demanded by several
persons, who, not receiving IA satisfactory
answer, took up large block of wood
that lay near the door, and burst it open.
The key was again demanded to open the
doors of the dungeon, but receiving no
other satisfaction than before, they pro-
cured an axe and crowblr and burst that
door open, and the murderer was brought
out amidst the shouts of the enraged pop
ulace. In very few moments, he was
tied and placed on a horse behind one Of
the men, and started back 10 the place of
the murder. That the crowd was much
excited there can be no doubt; but there
was also that calm and fixed determine
ton among them thai showed pIainl Y the
deed was one sanctioned by their sober
second thoughts. Ga their arrival at the
place of the late outrage, many Of the col
ored persons united IN prayer for him,
and 10 talking 10 him of his expectations
of fu'urity, &c. During all this scene,
he had not manifested the least sensation
OF fear or remorse, and the firmness with
which he answered all questions asked
him concerning his object ioT robblng aud
numbering the people, was truly aston
ishing. He said he robbed them TO get
the money TO run away with, and killed
the people so that it might not be found
out. This act was entirely planned by
himself, and executed, and yet he haa not
attained the age of Is years. After the
few moments spent over him in prayer,
by his colored friends, he was taken to
the place of execution, where a pole had
been tied some ten teet from the ground,
to a couple of small trees.
He was then brought under the pole in
small wagon, and told TO stand up,
which he did without the least apparent
concern, and waited patiently for the rope
to be tied around his neck. When all
his friends were called up 10 bid him
fnal adieu, he shook with apparen; un-
concern, every hand that was extended
to him. Not the least fear or dissatistac.
ton in itself could be discerned in his
countenance, during the whole two days
transaction. left the ground about sun,

in American prints about patriarcnal
slavery. | have received most kind
and affectionate letter from Sir. G.
Metcalle, Governor Of Canada, in behalf
of fugitive slaves, who are now settled,
or who may fly there. When he left
his government at Jamaica, ten thou
sand emancipated slaves followed him
to the waters edge with tears to take
their leave of him. He is the same be-
nevolent man in Canada that he was in
Jamaica, as far as the poor negro is con-
cerned. L am sure from his language
that he will go to the uttermost length
that the late treaty will allow him TO 90,
to protect the unhappy fugitive against
the claims otan enraged master. He is
quite aware of all the tricks and lies
which will be made use of in trying to
establish such claims"
Mr.. Clarkson also states that he is
now preparing small work in behalf of
the free people Of color, the object of
which is to point out and to remedy the
abuses which that unfortunate class are
subject to. lie shows the cause, the in-
consistency, and the wrong of such
treatment, and alludes to the effects in
which it must result, He also exhorts
Americans, if they are wise, "to abol-
lsh slavery without delay, by which
slavery, and the contempt Of its color
would fall together; and because ifslave
ry be allowed to go On much longer, so
that new lands be opened to new slave
population, there will be laxity of
morals SO extensive and 50 frightful, that
America will be driven out of the pale of
civilized society, among the nations of
the earth-other civilized nations will
have few or no dealings with her. One
crisis has already arrived-the real off
springs of the immortality and infidelity
which slaveholding has produced in the
Southern States, and slaveholdng con-
nection with the Northern States has
produced in part in them; and unless
slavery is checked, a second crisis will
follow, infinitely more ruinous to both
than the former - namely, the heavy
judgments of Cod" Would that the
earnest warnings of this venerable phil
anthropist to which the conscience of
every America must respond, might be-
needed and acted upon!

over bush and brake eXultingly; aud even
