Many of our readers, upon reading the manly
letter Of Col. Foster, in this morning paper, will
regret, as we do, the withdrawal of his name from
the list of candidates for the Mayorality of the CITY
of Worcester. Possessed of the most eminent
qualifications for the Office, as he undoubtedly is
and believing that he would, more than any other
man in the community, unite the people in the
organization Of wise and efficient city govern
ment, he has been our first choice from the mo.
ment his name has been mentioned in that con
nexion, and we should have considered our citi-
zens fortunate indeed If they should be able to Sc
cure his services at the head of our municipal af.
fairs but because he was peculiarly obnoxious to
the Americans, in consequence of the gallant op.
position he has made to all their willy schemes, as
Chairman Of the Republican County Committee,
and because he was also obnoxious to a few mem.
bers of the Republican party who will be satisfied
with nothing short Of the re-inauguration of the
Reign Of Terror" under the auspices Of the
Carson League, combined and concerted move
ment' or, rather coalition, is in progress to put
him down,and Mr. F. very properly declines to en-
ter the lists in so dirty fight. He has been
abused and ylifed, already, as few have ever been
lIeDuD-
hcan party have, in our judgment, been quite too
ready to join with their bitterest opponents in
traducing and vilifying of the ablest and tru-
est men in the Republican party, whose character
is above reproach, and whose qualifications for the
Office no one disputes.
If any Of our friends Of the Republican party
think that they can thus afford to slaughter the
best men Of the party, by uniting with their bit
terest opponents in the hue and cry against
man, TO whom their chief objection is that to his
energy, and discretion, the American party in
great measure owes its defeat, let them do SO,
but we warn them to beware lest the result of
their efarts IL to impose upon us worse
Government for the city than that of which they
now complain.
In saying thus much upon this subject we can.
not refrain from the expression Of our hope that
some measures will be taken to secure such an
expression Of the popular will, in favor Of Mr.
Fosters nomination to the mayoralty, as will
lead him to reconsider the determination 10
which he Las come, and accept an Office to which
be can DO elected BY an overwhelming vote, and

The NORTH AND THE SouTH.-A Statiscal View
of the Condition of the Free and Slave States
BY Henry Chase and Charles W. Sanborn.-
Boston John P. Jewett & Co.
The statistics and facts in this volume are de-
rived. the former entirely the latter mainly from
the census returns. They contrast the institu-
tions the material progress, and the wealth of the
free and slave states, showing the blighting inAu
enee of slavery in preventing the development of
the agricultural, manufacturing. and the chemi-
cal resources of the states in which it is tolerated.
and exhibiting the more rapid advancement of
the free states in population, education, and
wealth. The work has evidently been prepared
with great care, and many of its facts and deduc-
tions are curious and interesting. 1t is by no
means dry compedum of statistical facts, but
contains much which is interesting, and muchfo food
for thought.

stance of monomania, " hieh has lust been
terminated in that city, in the case of the Rev.
Joshua Epson, Universalist clergyman. who
died at II o'clock on Sunday night of last
week. He had lived in an almost skeleton
condition, abstaining from nourishment for
fifteen, twenty, and even thirty DAYS in sue
cession. He has maintained and believed that
he did this under the directions of the spirits.
who promised, by this course of discipline, to
develop him into a more extraordinary { me-
dunn than has hitherto been known. He
lived under the impression that hundreds of
dlsembodled spirits, were constantly talking
with him, directing him, encouraging him,
rebuking him, prescribing what he should
say, what he should cat, forteling every day
the least change in his physical condition, and
furnishing him severely when he refused to act
IN accordance with their directions. The Ga.
sette says =" Professedly by their informa.

Execution Of a Hardened Murderer

John Fitzgerald, Irish, was hung, at
Auburn, n. Y, Saturday. for the murder
of his father, mother and brother, while
they were asleep one night last fall He
seems to have been a most obdurate
wretch, although only about twenty years
of age. On the night before lis death he
slept well, ate a hearty breakfast il the
morning, danced and sung in his cell, and
showed no emotion suited to his circum-
stances. When asked he would like to
have his sentence committed to imprison-
ment for life, he replied, "No sir! I
would step right out and pull hemp in
preference. l had rather be hung than
90 to prison for lifer' When told that
a clergyman wished to see him, he said,
IF he comes in here he'll get my fist
that's all What good can he do me
noac +? l don't want him" An earnest
appeal was made to him to forgive his
brother. He replied that he had kind
words only for those who had been kind
to him since he had been in prison. He
utterly refused TO forgive his brother,
against whom he had sworn vengeance
for testifying against him. He afterwards
consented to see Rev. DR.. Ives, knelt
with him in prayer, manifested much
emotion, and shed tears Still he could
not forgive his brother, or acknowledge
the horrible atrocity Of his crime. While
deputy was adjusting the rope about
his neck, he took umbrage at something
that was done, and exclaimed" Gentle
men don't torture me-hang me, if you
want tor And then he added to some
one near him" I'm a pretty hard boy 7"
Turning to Mr.. Morgan, his counsel in
the trial, he asked if chloroform could be
administered to him. The reply of course
was in the negative. He never spoke
again. At six minutes after three the
drop fell, and with scarcely a struggle the
hardened and unnatural murderer en-
tered the presence of his victims and
his Judge. Though the snow was falling
and the weather wintry, hundreds of peo-
pie, including some women, stood for
hours about the Jail during the execution,
although they could see nothing, and
hear nothing, and must rely upon ifnag-
ination to satisfy their morbid curiosity.
