James Parks was executed on yesterday within the
isii of this city, for the murder of William Beatson
The night before he attempted to kill himself by
cutting his throat and but for the discovery of what
lie had done would have bled to death before morning.
At 10 O'Clock he was supported to the gailows, and
strengthening himself with brandy, spoke to the spec
tators for more than an hour.
He asserted las he has ever done his entire inno-
cence showed how be had been convicted under crcum
stances hat he could not explain except by his own
words Jus fled his attempt to commit suicide that me
STIGMA Of bis having been hanged might not rest upon
be Kind to the latter, aud giving the signal himself
with the words al die an innocent man, was
launched into eternity His conviction was so far SIN
oulsr that il rested on circumstantal evidence alone
He was twice tried and both times convicted, and the
general belief is that he was guilty.
He was an Englshman, uneducated, but man oil
strong natural ability.

LAST RORD.

Some two weeks since we replied 10 low
.currilcus personal attack in contemplate
shee: published at Jersey Shore, not with the
design Of writing the mediocre affair into noti-
rietv, but simply to correct once for all, q
misrepFesented occurrence, in the community
il which we reside. But that sheet, having
discovered that it was in the wrong, and wan
ting the manliness to acknowledge its mis-
take, now seeks to crawl out of the controver-
sy in its own low, sneaking, blaguard manner,
without doing us and the public the justice 10
correct the slanderous report to which it gave
currency.
We scarcely expected any other course from
men who could be guilty of sinking the edito-
rial character into the very depths OF degre
datiou, TO crafty few miserable SANDER
1nongers, and minister 10 the morbid appetitcs
of a set of back-biting, hypocritical scorn-
drels, who have not the courage to make their
Charges 10 mans face, but de1anc his char
acter an attempt TO blast his reputation be
hind his back. Such black-hcarted Ebclcrs,
are ft associates and advisers for men Ti.c can
publish scandal and q lie, 10 scatter among
a mans friends and neighbors, and then lack
the inan!iness and the courage to send him an
exchange but leave him to discover their base
attack as best he may. And then, too. having
utterly failed to make good their assertions, at
tempt 10 creep oGt Of the difficulty il which
they have placed themselves, in low, sneak
ing, contemplate manner, like sheep thief
caught in the act would attempt to sneak from
justice. II the editors in question possessed
aspa:k either of honor or honesty, they would
acknowledge their mistake, or give The au-
thority for their assertions, and until they DO
one or The other, they viii be compelled to
bear, in the face Of the community, TIC brazon
