Horrible Scene at an Execution.

A horrible scene occurred at the exc
cution of Two robbers named BOyne and
Olsen, at ASSEM-, in the Isle OF Funen,
in Denmark, on The 18Th inst. Olsen
made such a desperate resistance h a
the execu,ioner and six men who helped
him could not bring the criminal TO the
block without calling the soldiers to as
sist them. As soon as Olsen $ head was
Sc, cred from bis body, two young peasant
girls, fifteen or seventeen years Of aye,
rushed through the double line of armed
police who guarded the scafold. and
filed the cups which they carried with
the blood which spouted from the neck
of the mutilated corpse, and instantly
swallowed the horrible draught. There
is an old superstition amongst the rural
population OF Denmark that the blood OF
a heheaded felon. if drank while 1t IS
warm, is an infaliiable preseryative
against epilepsy and aPoPlex:-- The
girls were taken before a police commits
sioner, and declared that they had only
done what they had a righ; to do; they
showed a paper. signed G. Olsen. IN
which he bad authorized them, whenever
he should come u be executed, 10 drink
his blood.

Withdrawing Mr.. Buchanan.

We have before alluded to the fact
that the idea of Withdrawing Mr.. Bucha-
nan from the Presidential contest, was
seriously entertained. especially by SOU
them men. There are many men in the
South, who are convinced of the utter
hOpelessness of his election, and they are
anxious 10 concentrate all the slave inte-
rests in favor Of Mr.. Fillmore. We clip
the following from the Louisville Jour.
nal
We have already mentioned the fact
that the p:oposi ion TO Withdraw Bu-
chanan was seriously considered at Wash
ington by some Of the more conservative
leaders OF the Democratic party just be
fore the adjournment of Congress. Since
then the Necessity of his withdrawal has
become more apparent. The people
everywhere demand it. The Democrat
ic party have played their strongest
cards. The people are satisfied that,
without the aid cf'the National Ameri.
cans, Buchanan has not suficienl
strength at the North to get a single
electoral vote. and now if the Democrat
ic party is sincere in its often. repeated
professions of devotion TO the Union, and
lis desire 10 restore peace and perma
nent prosperity TO our country, it will
promptly withdraw the Squatter Sow
ereigntv from the contest, and unite up
on the National candidates, Fillmore and
DonelsOn. who could and would defeat
the Northern Sectional candidate, and
save tie Union.
We are grati6ed TO find some indica
lions that this popular demand for the
withdrawal of Buchanan may possibly
be complied with. The Philadelphia
Bulletin. a neutral paper, SAYS:
1t is stated hat MIR. Breckenridge
really made a proposition to Mr.. Buchan
an at the Wheailands. yesterday, on the
subject of his withdrawal. The plan is
10 get Mr.. Don-l<on also to Withdraw.
and unite the Democratic and the Amer
lean tickets in the persons of Fillmore
and Breckenridge Such a ticket Mr..
Breckenridge thinks, will be likely to sue
ceed az inst Fremont and Dayton. What
is 10 be done about the two platforms,
does not appear. Nor have We learned
what response MIR. Buchanan made to
the proposition.

We have frequently given extracts
from Southern Buchanan papers, making

Buchanan Mass Meeting at Hakes,

MeSSTs Editors:
The Black pro slavery party of this

Corners; in Weathers6eld, on Saturday,
raising a Hickory Pole. About two
hundred were present. Some other at
fractions, not in the bills. however, had
combined TO draw such a crowd. Notice
had been given that there would be a
horse race. So just as Mister Fuller,
from your town had commenced speak
ing. the horses appeared, and the audi

house was densely filed with, say two
thirds Republicans and one-third old lire
Democrats, about their usual proportion
in this township.
Mr.. Reed opened the discussion in a
very handsome speech Of one half hour.
Mr.. Price followed in a speech of one
hour and a hall. fully admitting that the
Republiesa party are anti-lavery. and
claiming that the Democrats party are
also anti slavery. He argued s~trenously
for the democratic dogma that Congress
has no power to lrgislate on the subject
of slavery in the Territories; and claimed
This to be the only issue between the two
great parties. Mr.. Reed followed in a
speech of one ho1r in a manner 50 clear
and forcibie hat all were seemingly con
xinced, except his venerable opponent,
who from his aneasiness one might have
thought in a bramble bush or denuded

Mr.. Reed took the position that the Dem
-Ioeratic party are p~ro-slavery and sus-

occupied ten minutes in conclusion. The

The State Fair.

The State Fair of 1856. exceeded any
former display Of the kind, in Ohio es
pecialiy in The exhibition of stock. New
-er before has there been exhibited in
ths State, so large a number Of first
rate Horses and Cattle. The celebrated
race horse Fashion, and the far famed
Grey Eagle, were the observed of all
observers. During the whole exhibition
the horse ring formed one of the great
attractions. Many fast trotters; and pa
GERS flying around the ring, going, [as
fast men say, : lively gait. while the
draught horses. and family nags, were
showing of their good points. at a more
stately pace.
Trumbull County was well represen-
ted, showing some of the fastest and
best Eorses in the ring, Me-. VIM. H.
Howe's Roam trotter, and Mr.. Peltca's
David Hill, were among the best. In
Female EauestrianIsm. Trumbull and
Nahoning counties were not excelled.-
Some fne cattle and sheep from this
county were on hand. We shall speak
more fully of these when we learn the
award Of premiums.
The arrangement of the grounds was
admirable, and the committee who had
