DYING DECLARATIONS.

Charlotte and Fife both made dying
declarations, confessing the murder, but
cxonerating Monroe Stewart (who was
also convicted for the same crime, and is
to be hung on the 26Ih inst.,) from any
participation in the murder. These decla-
la.ions were hawked about the streets of
Pittsburgh on the day of the execution,
but no confidence is felU in them. The
wretched murderers were SO degraded that
it was, hardly possible for them to tell a
straight story even with death in full
view.

THE EXECUTION

Fife retained his composure to the last.
He stepped forward to the edge of the
scatfold, with one foot on the steps. beck
oned to those present whom he knew, and
who assembled and shook hands with him
taking a solemn farewell, and remark
ing To one, II shall die happy" to an
other, with the help Of God, shall die
like man." aud as We are positively as
sured by three eye e-witnesses-thoughc con
tradicied by another-after he had shaken
hands with all who came forward, re-
marked generally: "GenIlemen, l want
you to understand that die game" hav-
ing said which, he went back on the plat
form.
During this time Charlotte sat on hel
chair, lamenting, Historically, praying
andbly and interjectionally, and asserting
over and over the innocence of Stewart
IL was with the greatest effort tLat she
maintained anything like composure. The
chairs had been removed and both were
standing up Immediately under the ropes.
Fife attempted to reassure her, embracing
and kissing her, and saying that he wa;
! there yet.
Fife, it is said, adjusted the rope arounc
his own neck. The caps were drawn ovel
their faces-at precisely two o'clock thu
signal was given-the Sheriff touched tht
spring-the platform fell from under thei
feet-and Henry File and Charlotte Jones
were no mere.
Fife died without struggle, not NOV
ing muscle. His heart continued t.
pulsate for ten minutes. Charlotte
ceased beating in three minutes and
half from the instant she fell. Her deatl
was less easy; as she fell. her hand
clasped on her breast, and the shoulder
J were drawn up,

1860. But heretofore the naturally Demo-
cratic States in this quarter Of the Union
have not been heard at ALL These States
are the controlling influence, really, in the
confederacy-that is, they stand between
the ianaticism Of the two other extreme
sections. And yet, the fanatical regions
press hard on the National Administration,
suggest measures to it and dictate its policy
while the great Northwest, with her Dem
ocratic majorities, is kindly permitted to
stand spectator Of the scene.
The ultraism Of the South suggested the
Lecompton policy the blind folly of the
Northeast embraced that policy, made it
formidable, and almost broke down the
Democratic party. The Northwest, the
seat Of conservative Democracy in the
Union, opposed Lecompton and crushed it.
In the death of that measure the party found
new life
And now, as j. II. II. so well says, the
character of the Democratic party for the
future depends upon the disposition of its
leaders. The people discern that Senator
Douglas is right; bis principles are those of
the Democracy let him be sustained and
the ascendency Of the party and the exer-
else Of wise policy will be secured for
years. viii not the powers that be" give
heed! They should be warned in time.
On the contrary, if they are resolved TO
stand against the sentiment of the country,
in opposition to the people, they can do so
but to their own loss. The people will move
irresistibly onward, leaving behind tie mis-.
chief makers in Office, and their worshippcrs.
The Democratic States-the Democratic
masses--are about to speak, and in tones
that will be authoritative.

WATER ROUTES ACROSS THE CONTINENT TO

The following is an extract from an in.
tercsting letter to his paper Of one Of the
editors Of the New York Jo,unai Of Com.
mere, who is now on Buffalo Hunting
Expedition out west
The excessive rains of the present month
have no, only raised the streams to height
before unknown at this season, but have
somewhat damaged the crops, pros,rating
them causing rust, &c. Harvesting is al
ready in progress throughout the greater
part Of the State, even in the North and
10 the latter region especially, this being the
first year, and most OF the seed s0wn in the
sod, there is abundant promise Of its future
agricultural prosperity. Wheat barley rye,

In his third volume of the Life OF Thomas
Jefferson, Mr.. Randall draws vivid pic
ture OF Aaron Burr, as follows:
Burr possessed much cunning and much
penetration Of a particular kind but, like
most wholly unprincipIed men, he overrated
the power Of evil. lie believed every man
aud woman had their easy price He there.
fore relied on personal appliances, and pet
ty intrigue and finesseing to attain objects
wholly beyond the reach Of such means.
He bated mouse-traps, expecting to catch
elephants in them. His lifelong history is
an exemp i6ca,ion Of this trait of mind. and
it is life long roll of failures. In every
great crisis OF his career we find him with
intense cunning in his look, and mystery in
his rapid movements, setting his little traps.
But he was always just wise enough TO be
out-generalled when he came in contact with
wise man he was always just artful
enough TO beat himself Without any at
tempts TO be cumming, and by mere force Of
his abilities, and a straight forward life, he
might have been far more successful. He
loved intrigue for its own sake. There was
fascination in il which blinded his judy
ment. Tie was ready to embark in it, and
was sanguine of success where man of less
astuteness but without the taste for plot
ting, would have foreseen the certainty OF
defeat. 1t takes another trail to complete
the character Of rash and ready conspira-
tor. He was willing to risk his life to car
ry out the most paltry amour. He was
willing to risk it u thousand times in any
effort of fortune and power, rather than
glide along smoothly in the current Of COM
mon success. When we consider his pecu-
liar character and weigh testimony adduced
at his subsequent trial, which was not inn
peached, or even rendered the subject OF a
just suspicion, little doubt seems to remain
that he contemplated Acknowledgement of
the Union as direct result Of his enter
prise, or rather rs contingent result which
was to follow, il success crowned the first
branch Of the undertaking.
