- Gov. Means.
3 The Georgetown Republican,, in speaking
Of Gov. Means, his personal appearance, man.
ners. &c, says:
E aBut that which gratifcd us beyond all !;
other considerations, is the fact that he is the
identical Governor now as when he wrote
that spirited and highly eulogized inaugural
which breathed forth resistance rather than
misunderstanding he:would perform his part
in the political drama, there is no apprehenS
sion whatever, whenever the power is con-
hded TO him and the moment arrives. {Ifs
Excellency believes and feels with the larpe
majority of the sovereign people of his State.
that it is infinitely more degrading to quietIy
andstamely:s to insult and aeppeessfnrf
because our sister States happened not to be
so sensitive on that subject, than TO be defeat
ed by the 'overpowering arm Of the General
Gorernment-the last of which he has no
fears-and that the Convention, wheneyer,it,
meets, will carrys out the high and solemn
behests of the people. -. ~ q
"The change of public feeling, we learn,
is most rapidly taking place, and soon there
will be one common voice for secession, from
the mountains to the seaboards We think
the time will come too, when that significant
minority of two in our own district Will tall
even below that point-and, when Greenei!le,
will expunge from her limits her late fnlse
and extraordinary notions Of what constitutes
Southern Patriot. ,;..,...z, 49,. - Z.

An EXECUTION AT HuseARY.As Saxor,
named BLENDED, was fortnight ago condemn
ed to death by the Criminal Court at Pesth
for having, in 1S4s, murdered his mastes,a
matchmaker of that city. The execution
was fixed for the 28th ult, and the municipal
authorities determined, but it is not known
for what reason; to revive an old culItom Of
exposing prisoners condemned to death DUR
ing three davs preceding the execution. Ac-
cordingly, BLENDED was placed in the vesti-
bule of the prison, behind strong iron rail
ing, and the public were admitted. But the
crowd was 80 large, that all couldnot obtain
access; and the municipality, in consequence,
had the extraordinary weakness to order
that, for three days, the wretched man should
be paraded for an hour and a half In the
squares and principal streets of the. city. On
the day Of execution upwards Of 10000 per-
sons assembled around the scafold, which
was erected in the square Of the Town-hail.
The executioner and his ASSISTANTS were
drunk. They attached the rope round sthe
mans neck, and then hauled him up:toS the
beam but, ,as this did not caase stFangula-
