ExscUTIoS.-The negro boy Jack, con-
victcd Of the murder of VIM. Rowland, was
executed on Friday last. A large crowd rs.
sembled to witness the execution, variously
estimated at from four TO seven thousand
persons. The boy adhered to the last to
the statement made Immediately after Sc
sence was pronounced upon him-thnt he
conceived and committed the murder himself,
and that the white man Williams, whom he
had previously implicated, and who is now
in Jail at this place under the charge, is en-.
tirely innocent Of any knowledge of or par.
ticipation in the crime. He mounted the
gallows without any evidences Of trepida.
ton, and during the preparations for his ex-
ecution showed no signs of alarm or fear.

They know that the word Democrat has

President PIERCE EAKEs AN ATTEMPT AT
BLAcKGUARDIsx-Presid Pierce bows in
meek humility to the decision of the Cincin
natl jugglers. On the occasion of Ratifica-
ton Meeting at Washington the other day,
he spoke from window Of the White House
to procession Of ratifying office holders, and,
with sickening mockery of cheerfuness,
congratulated them on the nomination of
Buchanan Spaniel.like, he licks the hand
that smote him. In these remarks of our
substitute for a Chief Magistrate, occurs the
following infamous insinuation:
There will be, on your part, no appeal to
unworthy passions. no inflammatory calls for
a second revolution like those which are ocea-
sionally reported as coming from men who
have received nothing at the hands Of their
government but protection and political bless
ings. no declaration of resistance to the laws
of the land, no invocation 10 the shedding Of
blood by those who have had none to shed
when our countlymen have stood face to face
with foreign foes.
Probably the Brigadier would have had
some blood to shed at Contreras, If it all
hadn't rushed to his head and made him faint
about that time.

- Mr. Buchanan, who is now the demo.
cratic candidate of the democratic party for
President in ls4s wrote the following letter
to the Hon. w. L. Yancy, Of Alabama:
WAsHIseros, May Is, 1913.
Hon. VIM. u. Ydncy:-Sir. have reeeiy-
ed your favor of the ID inst, requesting an.
swers to the different propositions contained
in the 9th, 10Th, llth, 18th, 18th and I4tb
resolutions of the late Alabama Democrats
Convention on the subject Of slavery.
On the Goth Of August last, after much re.
Election, addressed a letter to the democracy
Of Berks county, Pa, on this important and
exciting question, in which ! expressed a
strong opinion in favor Of the extension Of
the Missouri compromise TO any territory
which we might acquire from Mexico. had
entertained and freely expressed this opinion
from the time the question was first agitaied;
and every days experience, since the date Of
nv letter, has but served 10 strengthen nv
conviction that the Missouri compromise il
the best, if not the only mode, of finally ans,
satisfactorily adjusting this vexed and dan.
serous question.
. Under these circumstances, I cannot aban.
don the position which | have thus delibe.
rntely and conscientiously taken, and assume
any other that can be presented.
have the honor of transmitting you n
copy Of my Berks County letter.
With sentiments of the highest respcet,I
remain yours, sincerely.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Mr.. Buchanan now says that the principle
of the Kansas Nebraska hill ran.al;,O a.
Missouri compromise, is sihe only mode Of
finally and satisfactorily adjusting this vexed
and dangerous question" No wonder Gen.
Jackson said old Buek was not reliable.

CHEERISc.-Tbe Washington .correspon.
dent of the National Intelligencer, writes
from Philadelphia, rs follows
Notwithstanding all the ratification meet
ings, and the hnrrahs and asserted enthusi-
asm in the Democratic party for Buchanan,
his success is BY no means so certain rs his
friends, and particularly those at Washington,
say, and as have no doubt many of them
believe. Here his chances are considered
very doubtful even among many of his sup
porters, when they speak candidly TO you
and only four eyes are present. Pennsylva-
MIA is by no means certain tor Mr. Buchanan;
and where is he If he cannot carry this
Stale? Admitting that he obtains the pl sm-
per.vote Of every slave State, he would still
require twenty.nne votes from the free
States; and frdm> whence can he get them if
Pennsylvania does not vote for him? Illinois
has been claimed for him, but one of his
friends from that State tells me he thinks hs
cannot get it, An opponent of Mr.. B. rs.
sures me Illinois will 60 against him by
$4,000 majority.
We have other ndvices showing That Mr..
Buchanan's chances of an election are des-
Perate-but this will do for the present-we
don't wan! to kill off all the high hopes Of
our democratic friends at once, but to let
them down gently, and by degrees.

FROM NAsHyILLE.

NAsHVnLE, June 2lst. 1856.
Mr.. hins:-In accordance with promise
made before leaving Athens. and not because
| have anything to Communicate, write you
this letter.
The little excitement here in politics seems
to be mostly confined to the papers. The
Democrats profess to be satisfied with their
nominees. The Americans seem to regard
them as the weakest that could have been
made. particularly in this State. l am in
clined to this opinion myself If we are de-
fcated by them we are hopelessfy weak. 1t
is true that Democracy stood ready to sup
port any one who might receive the nomina.
ton, but in Tennessee no enthusiasm can be
gotten up in favor of Buchanan and Breeken-
ridge.
Col. Polk, the Democratic elector for the
State at large, has been in the city several
days, doubtless preparing himself for the con.
flict. But every one knows that he will be
unable to acquit himself even creditably in
debate with ex.Gov. Neill s. Brown.
1t is expected here that Mr.. Maynard. of
Knoxville, will be on the American electoral
ticket / know nothing of his ability. He
will give satisfaction here.
Nothing has been said yet in regard to the
time the canvass will open.
The nomination of Fremont, it is thought
here will increase the chances for the success
of Fillmore and Donelson. This originates
in the fact that the most of the strength of
the Black Republican candidates will be
taken from the Democratic ranks. For my.
self, think the ticket very dangerous one.
Aside from the strength Of his party, Fremont
is immensely rich-worth all of one hundred
millions of dollars-and will not scruple to
use it in any way that will forward his inter.
ests in politics. Besides, it is known that
George Law has said that he would spend
half his immense fortune (he is likewise
millionaire) or defeat Mr.. Fillmore.
The weather is excessively hot here. The
only consolation have is hope to be in East
Tennessee in about ten days
Respectfully, J. +. p.
