The Committee met at the place

the delegates from each place; from
Ell ton $500, from Fayetteville
$S,7S0, or about that. 1t was an
unexpected thing for Elkt9n to bid
so largely. The delegates from Fay
etteville could not understand the
thing, it appears, and in their calcu-
lations and conclusions, they appear
to have come to the conclu sion that

clusion appears to have continued on
their minds until Wednesday, morn
ing. One of the delegation left that
morning before the Committee met,

sion, and on his arrival in Fayette-
vile made the same impression on
the minds Of others. The impression
appears to have been strong enough
to communicate to Others, but not
strong enough to give me a hearing.
But that morning, before the Com
mittee met, a good brother came to
me and apprised me of what was
going on. | then made son ne state
ments and gave some plantations,

Fayetteville not only expressed them
selves as fully satisfied, but promised
to correct the impression that Mr..

this same subject,to which I received
no answer until the 18th of this

! inconsistency.

Many of our wing papers profess
to regard support Of the COM
promise measures Of the late ses-
sion Of Congress as the test devotion
to the Union.
These same wing papers are en-
gagged in a labored effort to prove
that the Northern democrats are
free>soilers, while they wish the in
ference to be drawn that the wings
of the North, as party, are OPP
posed to the agitation Of the slave
ry question. They do not assert
this directly, but such is the tenden-
ICY OF their articles.
Now we would Iiketo ask these
papers few plain questions:
Do they not know that the Leg
latures of many of the Democratic
free States have passed resolutions
in favor of the compromise?
Do they not know that the Leg
islature of not solitary wing State
has passed similar resolutions?
Do they not know, further, that
the question Of the passage of such
resolutions have been made very
nearly party question in the Leg
islatures Of the free States: demo,
Gratis sustaining them and wings op
posing them, Nth but few excep.
tons, either way?
Do they not know that Gov
Hunt, of New Yor k, expressed the
opinion that the Fugitive Slave law
should be modified, and that he i,
called conservative wing, b,
Southern wings, while the demo
Gratis of New Hampshire hav,
thro wn Atwood, their candidate fol
Governor, overheard, for express
ING similar opinion, and nomina
ted another candidate?
These questions can be answer
ed in but one way; and, in view o
the answers which must be made
how can our wing friends, who be
| Iieve that the perpetuity Of the I'm
ion depends upon faithful carry.
ing GU. OF the compromise bills, be
so Inconsistent and so unjust as tc
persist in their attacks on the North
ern Democracy?

STRANGE SCENE AT AN ExEcUTIoN.-
A letter fro nd Ystad, in Sweden, con
tains an account Of a S TRANCE execu
ton, which took place there on The
2Sth Of January:
That day having been fixed for the
decapitation of q journeylnan butch
er, named Marcusson, and woman
named Botilla Nilsdotter, for having
murdered the husband of the latter
vast number of peasantry arrived
on the previous evening, and bivou-
acked in the town all night. Al
though for sixty years no execution
had taken place in the province, and
for upwards of eighty years none in
all Sweden, it was not SO much curl
osity which attracted the multitude,
as the desire to swallow a drop of the
blood of the criminals at the moment
it should spirit from beneath the axe
of the executioner, it being a popular
belief in Sweden that it renders the
weak strong, cures all sorts of mala-
dies, and secures long life. When
the scaffold was erected, the peo-
pie assembled around with cups,
glasses, bowls, some even with large
saucepans, to catch the blood. The
woman was first beheaded, and then
the man. The anxiety Of the spec
tators was very great, and the mo-
ment the mans head was severed,
they broke through the line of SOL
diers. The soldiers, to drive them
back employed the butt ends of their
and a desperate conflict en-
sued. At last the crowd succeeded in
the scaffold; but, in the
the police had placed the
bodies in cart, and had sent them
off under a strong escort Of cavalry.
They had; however, to take the pre-
caution of removing, by spades and
pickaxes, the portions of the road on
which drops of blood happened to fall
to prevent the people from tapping upI
the blood. |

These figures will be likely to upset some OF
our long established notions ofthe comparative
healthiness Of different portions of the United
States. Who is there that supposed, for in
stance, that South Caro- ina was more healthy
State than MASSACHUSETTS, or Georgia more
healthy than Connecticut?
In connection with the subject. we notice \
letter from correspondent of the ''Cleveland
Herald, writing from Tennessee, who remarks
that it is generally supposed at the N orth that
| tennessee has mild and healthful climate
lie describes it and its effect upon health and
longevity in that region as follows:
Tennessee is not Eden, nor is 1t Italy. The
sun shines hot in summer; rains and SHOWS
fall, and winds blow in the winter From the
hrst appearance Of winter till the opening of
spring, Is succession of changes of tempcra-
lure, which render the winter unpleasant, and
far less fealthful than the steady uniformity
OF The North. 1t is no exaggera,ion to say that
a change occurs erTy dag from cold to warm;
or warm to could. This is particularly the
case IN the more elevated parts of the S ale.
but the evil is bad enough elsewhere. The
consequence of the extreme changeablencss og

bounds of truth, if at all, when | assert thai
The meridian of life in Ohio aud Pennsylvania
is old age here. This is entirely true if by old
age we understand disease, decay and death
There are old men of course in Tennessee, but
their numbers are few, and they have not that
vigor which is exhibited by the men of Ohio
Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
The views of this writer do not seem to he
sustained by the census returns. Tennessee is
shown to be more healthy Sla.e than either
Pennsylvania or Connecticut (the returns from
Ohio not being given and the Southern States
OF North and South Caroliana, Georgia and a
bama are shown to be among the most healthy
in the Union
That Vermont should stand at the head of the
list VII however, not suprize any The
greer moi ntain State" has always enjoyed
favorable reputation for heathfuness, parlicu-
larly that portion of it where it is said that
when people become too old to live, they dry
up and blow away
We congratulate the people of our own State
that Iowa stands second on the list. 1t is no
small matter to boast Of, that Iowa. with the
exception OF Vermont, is the most healthy State
in the Union.

A Crisis in Eur0pe.

Affairs are evidently approaching a crisis in
Europe. For nearly three years there has been
reaction against the popular explosions of
SIS; availing themselves of which, the mon
arehs have perpetrated outrage after outrage
upon their subjects. But the period has come
for revolution. The aggressions of absou-
tism have become SO numerous of late, that
every person beneath the dignity of prince,
trembies for life well as liberty.
The revocation of the Constitution gtamted to
the Austrians in ls4S, shows to what length
absolutism has gone. No pledges however
sacred, are considered binding by the Empe-
ror. He is resolved TO rule by the swore, by
his own will; absolutely entirely. The rcach-
cry of which he has been guilty to the Austri-
ans proper, throws a light backward over the
Hungarian war, revealing to al the wor Il who
was the traitor then Francis or Kossuth There
can be no doubt now of the pcrfidy of the Aus
trian. If it hetrays 1t, hereditary subjects now ,
it would not have he,itated 10 betray Hungary
then.
We do not allow republican feelings to mis-
lead us, for the London Times, journal not
particularly favorable to liberty, advances the
same opinion 1t declares that despotism, such
as Austria contemplates. cannot possibly be
maintained in Europe, because never before has
been anything so oppressive, not even in the
worst days of feuda ism. Unless this is a ret
rograde age, therefore, an outbreak will soon oc-
I cur The industrious and responsib of The
popu alton who became so alarmed by the ex-
cesses of le4s, and have been lending their in
fuence ever since TO the throne, will now begin
to abandon its cause. will draw nearer TO the
repno icssas, and will finally unite with the lat.
! ter in revolution The bow, in fact, has been
bent too far and recoii must be the conse-
quence
Whether it will happen this year, or next, or
be postponed still later, it is impossible to
tell accurately. But the explosion will come
