AWFUL SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.

AWFUL SCENE AT AN EXECUTIoN-A
correspondent of the Jackson (Ienn.)
Wing thus notices scene, at the execu-
ton of John NJ Riley, near that place,
on the 9Th ult., for the murder Of VIM
Wills, which seems to have stricken ter
ror to the stoutest hearts;
"On arriving at the gallows, dark
cloud which had previously arose in the
west, overspread the entire armament
with its murky folds, and causing con.
sternation around. Every thing was now
in confusion. AS the thick masses of
clouds gathered their folds deeper and
deeper overhead the crowd below partook
Of the character of the disruplive elements
above, Nature seemed in commissions
All was dismay, confusion and consterna-
ton! A single blaze of lightning, in lis
gyrations, struck tree near where the
gallows was erected, and lit it up in one
sulphurous fame. The rain descended
in torrents, the vivid lightnings flashed
around, the muttering thunder rumbled
along the thick folds of clouds, and horror
seized upon the hearts of the people,
The women fell into sWoons, and the
men trampled upon them as they hurried
to ana fro. frightened out of their wits.
All was confusion and uproar. Trees
falling on every side-the thunder roar
ing overhead, and the lightning flashing
in their faces-causeG in the crowd a
panic never before witnessed. Those
that were on horses rushed from the place
as if Old Nick was after them. All
thought they saw the devil, and those
that did not leave. staid there from ply
sical inability to get away, for they were
too much friohtened to move"

ABOLITION MORALS.

The conduct of the Northern Aboli-
tionists illustrates the truth that extremes
meet, and that excessive virtue and ex-
cessive rascality may be made to embrace
and kiss each other. These honest crea-
lures assert that it is dishonest for one
man to hold another in bondage; but if
the other escapes, and steals his master S
horse and watch, they approve and ap-
plaud it as meritorious action. What
fixed principles, or what clear idea of
virtue and vice, can such persons possess!
The ethics of the Abolitionists, If fol-
lowed out even in the community in
which they live, would lead to a general
social chaos. They assert that slavery
is morally wrong, and that it is the duty
of every moral man to put an end to this
wrong, by taking from the owner that
property which he has obtained and holds,
in violation of the principles of Justice
Now, even if it were true that slavery
is wrong, the inspired code of morals for
bids US to do evil that good may come,
and common sense teaches US that two
wrongs cannot make right. Even if it
were wrong in US to hold slaves, aboli-
tionists would also commit wrong in
endeavoring to free them in violation of
law.
Apply these abolition ethics to Nor.
thern, or any other community. There
are in every community men who have
made their fortunes by unjust means; by
extortion; by overreaching the widow
and the orphan; and by other kinds Of
villainy. Money obtained in :his way no
one can doubt, is, in the eye of the AL
mighty, just as dishonesty obtained as if
gotten by robbery on the highway. There
is no dispute about this. Now, accord
ing to the abolition code of morals, it
would be perfectly right and proper to
employ agents to enter the house of eve.
ry man who had gotten rich in this man.
ner, take possession of his unjust spoils,
and distribute them among their original
and lawful owners. But the lar stands
in the way of this summary mode of JUS
tice, and the abolitionists respect the law
where its halters dangle near their own
necks.
This illustration may be made much
stronger. Much Of the wealth of Nor
thern men was originally required by sell
ling negroes to the South. Now it is
clearly the duty of Garrison, Douglass.
Kelly & Co., according to their own code,
to make the inheritors of property thus
obtained, disgorge the spoils of dishonesty.
They have just as good reason for robbing
these men at midnight, as for decoying
Southern slaves from their masters
What precious system of morality and
honesty is that of abolitionism

The Jews, or Israeli;es, of St. Louis,
have had quite disturbance among them
selves, and an appeal is made to the arm
of the law to settle their difficulties
They had row in their synagogue few
days since, and an action was brought for
assault and battery. The Republican
says:
AS usual there are two parties-one
contending for strict observance Of the
form and ceremonies of Jewish worship,
and conformity to all the acquisitions OF
their creed; and the other. desiring as
much license as possible, both in the mat
ter of eating prohibited meat at coffee
houses, and in keeping their stores and
places of business open on Saturday, The
one party are inclined to carry out the
strict doctrines of their faith; the others
are Indifferent about this matter, and
hence the strife which has arisen in the
Synagogue.

A New RACE, HITHERTO UNKNOWN

A New RACE, HITHERTO UNKNOWN
An exchange furnishes us with all account
of the recent discovery Of new race of
people, who have been found in the in
terror of Africa, which partakes somewhat
of the marvellous. The men are repre-
sented to be strong and powerfully built
standing to seven and seven and half
English feet in height, and black in color,
although destitute of the usual character
of negroes in features. Mehemet Ali
sent an expedition up the White Nile in
search of gold. and there found this race
of people, fifteen hundred of whom. armed
to the teeth, came down to the shore Of
the river where the vessel lay, The

EDITING PAPER-The majority of
readers seem to think that nothing can be
more easy or pleasant than to edit pa
per; but of all the different employments
bv which men make their bread and but
ter, there is none, we firmly believe, that
50 taxes the mind, temper, and flesh, as
that of editing paper. There is none
that requires a nicer tact, sounder
Judgement, more constant application,
aquicker w.t. or kinder heart. A chur-
ish temper could never succeed as an ed
itor; nor narrow minded man, nor an
ignorant one, nor hasty one. nor an un-
forgiving one. An editor must of neces-
sity turn himself inside out 10 the public.
He cannot be hypoorite any more than
husband could be hypocrite 10 his
wife. He must expose himselfin all that
he does. as much in selecting the thoughts
of others, as in publishing his own. and
therefore, the better way for him in the
outset is to begin frankly, to save himself
from after contradictions and mortihca-
tions. Whoever succeeds tolerably well
as an editor, is something more than an
ordinary man, let his contemporaries say or
think of him as they will.

The Wires INFLUENCE ON HER HUs-
BANn's FoRrUNE.-A woman has her hus-
bands fortune in her power, because she
may, or she may not, as she pleases, oon-
form to his circumstances. This is her
first duty, and it ought to be her pride.
No passion for luxury or display ought
for moment to tempt her to deviate in
the least degree from this line of conduct.
She will find her respectahility in it.
Any other course is wretchedness itself,
and inevitably leads to ruin. Nothing
can be more miserable than the struggle
to keep up appearances. If it could suc-
ceed it would cost more than it is worth,
as it never can, its failure involves the
deepest notification. Some of the sub
limest exhibitions of human virtue have
been made by women, who have been
precipitated suddenly from wealth and
splendor to absolute want.
Then a mans fortunes are in manner
in the hands of his wife, inasmuch as his
own power of exerton depends on her.
His moral strength is inconceivably in
creased by her sympathy, her counsel,
her aid. She can aid him immensely by

capable of taking upon herself. His own
employments are usually such as to re-
quire his whole time and his whole mind.
A good wife will never suffer her hus-
bands attention to be distracted by de-
tails to which her own time and talents
are adequate. If she be prompted by
true affection and good sense, she will
perceive when his spirits are borne down
and overwhelmed She, of all human
beings, can best minister to its needs.
For the sick soul her nursing is quite as
sovereign, as it is for corporeal ills, If
it be weary, in her assiduity it finds re-
pose and refreshment. If it be harassed
and worn to morbid irrtability, her
gentle tones steal over it with soothing
more potent than the most exquisite
music. If every enterprise I've dead and
hope itself almost extlngnished, her pa
tence and fortitude have the power to
rekiEdle them in the heart, and he again
goes forth to renew the encounter With
the tolls and troubles of life.

THE SPoILs SysTEM.-The spoils system,
or the system of placing the great mass
of the officers of a government in the
hands of the partisans OF the victorious
party, originated in this country, in New
York, under the auspices of Martin Van
Buren,. 1t was first established in the
general government through Van Buren's
agency, during the administration of Gen.
Jackson There had been but few re-
movals during the administration Of
Adams. Since Jackson was elected we
have had, up to the election of General
Taylor, but one month of whig govern
ment in twenty years. During all that
time the wings were prescribed race,
and the Offices of the country generally
filled with democrats.
A whig administration comes i'll at the
end of twenty years, and it is modestly
expected to continue this prescription.
It is denounced for giving the wings their
turn in the public trusts. How fair, how
modest, how just, how republican to
assail General Taylor for refusing to per-
petuate the prescription which half the
American people have suffered for 20
years.-Ricbmond Republican.

Kingsley tells very good story about
Deacon Havens. Itappears that, at last
harvest time, the deacon had a "mowing
bee," and among the party were two in
teresting SONS of Belial, who were more
inclined to cut capers than clover. One
of their tricks on the old man consisted
in filling the'tin horn with soft soap, and
then slightly stopping the orifice with
cotton. When 12 o'clock came, our
venerable friend seized the loaded instru-
menr, and gave blast which scattered
the contents far and near. To say that
the deacon was displeased would but
slightly describe his feelings. He was
euraged; for the first time in his life, he
swore! Says he: "Gentleman, | am an
old mani am the head Of the Sunday
School, and have preached the gosple for
Ave and thirty long years-but d-me. IT
I can't lick any man who. soft-soaped

AMERICAN PRoPAGANDISTs.-A Califor-
MIA emigrant, writing from Chila, says:
We think some of overturning the
Chilian Republic before we leave, 1t
savors much of the Mexican, and the
officers are generally disliked, from the
President down to the officers of the Gus
toms. The foreign residents here, all
American and English, complain bitterly.

had served them, fought and bled 70: their
cause, and was now for overturnng the
Government, that if they would say the
word, we would upset their apple cart,
and give them constitution like our own
glorious one.
From this it would seem that it was
not without reason that some of the Span
ish American authorities have feared the
passage of these California emigrants
through their territories.

BEAUTIFUL PAssAGE.-An article npon
the subject of "Revivals'" in a late num-
ber of the Christian Mirror, contains the
following beautiful passage:
"The spiritual kingdom of God, like
his kingdom of nature, is advanced by
influences which are as still and as secret
as they are great. What can be more
soft and still than the influence of light
on the material world? Millions of rays
falling on the infant in his cradle, do not
awake it from sleep; yet those rays con-
vey fertility and beauty to every tree,
and shrub, and flower, and blade of grass;
nay they unbind the forrest of winter,
they unlock our rivers in the spring, they
cause general resurrection of the vegeta-
BILE kingdom, and by the abundant
harvest they procure, fill the hearts of
countless millions with food and gladness.
Without light, the earth would become
unfit for the habitation Of man; the entire
race would soon perish. But light makes
no noise, no tumult, no parade of power.
The earthquake, the volcano, the l,ur-
ricane, with thousand fold more noise,
exert not thousand part Of its influence
on the condition of the world. Just like
light, was designed to be the influence of
the gospel--silent, soft, gentle, unobtru-
sive, yet penetrating, farreaching, power
full. saving We, my christian friends,
are called "the light Of the world;" let
us be such in the place where we reside.
The perfection of machinery is evinced
by its noisless movement. Ordinarily,
the more noise there is in religion, the
less there is in its power. The kingdom
OF God cometh not with pomp, and show,
and outward ostentation. Itis like leaven,
which woman took and hid in three
measures of meal till the whole was
leavened"
