A NOTE was received, yesterday, addressed
to one connected with the editorial department
of the Spy, in which the writer wishes to in
quire, through the Spy, if Col. Bullock should
be elected mayor, whether he would permit
any officer under him to aid in the execution
of the Fugitive Slave Law" In relation to
this, we may say, that the writer, has the same
means of knowing what Col. Bulloch's course
would be, as the individual has, to whom the
note was addressed. But if an opinion is de-
sired of us, we should say that as no officer
under the mayor is under any legal obligation
to aid in the execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law, any incumbent of that office must have
a far greater contempt for public sentiment in
Worcester than falls to the share of Col. Bull
lOch, before he would allow the officers under
him to engage in any such business. AS to
Col. Bulloch's vote, alluded to in the note, we
understood that it was given openly, and we
were informed of its character, by those who
saw it, long before he was a candidate for the
Office of mayor.

THE SLAVE TRADE.-Captain Wilmot of
the British Navy, has published letter, in
which he submits two plans for the aboli-
ton of the slave trade. He proposes, in the
first place. that France, America, and Eng
land, should declare the slave trade piracy in
the fullest acceptation of the term. "Let
them" he continues, Establish courts of adiu-
dication without appeal in different parts of
the slave trade coast; and, upon the clearest
proof being shown Of the slaver's guilt, let the
captain, chief mate, and every third man of
the crew be hanged before the Court breaks
up. There is to be no appeal to a higher tri-
bunal; the law is to be carried into effect so
soon as judgment is passed. The other plan
is a close blockade of the slave dealing coasts.
Let England and France take Western Africa,
and America deal with Cuba. Not a slave
must be shipped, and not boat leave the shore
(of Africa, at least without its being known
and seem" The captain declares, without the
fear of contradiction, that such a blockade can
be accomplished, and states his readiness to
carry it into practice himself

land communities, men of all political parties,
SO far as the administration Of their public
local affairs is concerned, could all forget the
rivalries of party strife, and meet together. for
the election of their best men without reference
to their opinions upon matters having no CON
nexion with the great political issues that are
involved in the contests of state and national
politics.
In none other of the relations of life do men
manifest any such folly as leads them to quar-
rel with their neighbors in the streets, or at
the polls, about the disposition of their local
offices refusing to vote for Mr. A. for town
clerk, whom every body acknowledges is the
best man in the place to perform the duties of
the office, for the reason that he voted for Mr.
B. at the last Presidential election, and because
all do not agree with his views upon the tariff;
and voting for Mr. c. who is VIGOROUSLY unfit
for the Office and can scarcely write his name
legibly, because he voted for Mr.. E. at the last
Presidential election, and the views which he
processes to hold upon the tariff are in sympa-
thy with those of majority of his townsmen.
In the intemperance of our zeal for party,we
are apt to lose sight of the best interests of the
communities in which we live, and of those
who are nearest and dearest to us, by endeav-
oring to fill our local public offices with men
whose only qualifications are, that they are
the jealous advocates of Z" our side in nation
al politics, and who have little else to COM
mend them to the support of any body. So
long as we do this, we, as partizans, may en-
joy the satisfaction, if satisfaction it may be,
of rejoicing at victory, or regretting defeat, in
our local elections, according as parties rise or
fall or thesentiments of the community change
upon the questions of national policy that
divide men into antagonistic parties but, I'M
til some party really does come to the attain
ment of a monopoly of all the honor, virtue,
and intelligence of the community, there can
be no question but that the conduct of our
public local affairs may be most safely and
wisely entrusted to men, selected from all par
ties, who are the most honest and the most ca
pable, and whose greed for office does not
prompt them to stoop to petty intrigues and
unworthy devices, in order that they may win
the honors and enjoy the emoluments of off
cial position.

WIN. ScHwITzER, alias Sanders, suffered the
extreme penalty of the law for murder, on Fri
day last. Speaking of his course just before

commission, his apprehension and trial, the
New York Tribune remarks -
I" He came to Goshen about the first of Au-
gust last giving his name as VIM Sanders,
and told a pitiful tale of desertion by his
friends in New York and said he was home
less, penniless and nearly starving He re-
presented himself as a German who could
speak no English, and excited considerable
sympathy by his apparently destitute condi-
ton. He was employed on a farm by Mr..
Charles Reeves, who had in his employ two
other Germans, a man and a woman, who had
lived with him for several years Sanders as
he called himself, watched ana waited till the
family of Mr.. Reeves were absent from the
house, and then, with diabolcal GOODNESS, he
shot his inotiensivc tellow-seryants, for no 9TH
er object than to rob the house and secure to
himself the ill gotten gain of such fiendish
act. The man, Peter Shorek, fell dead imme-
diately, but the woman, though badly wound
ed, made her escape by jumping out Of win
dow. The murderer disconnected by the es-
cape Of the woman, fed to the woods, but was
arrested in few days and held for trial. He
appeared very logged and sullen, refused to
speak TO any one, and seemed utterly uncon-
cerned and remorseless. He was tried at New
burgh on the 18th of October, where the wo.
man testified against him, an was sentenced to
be hung, which sentence was yesterday Carried
into effect at the courthouse in Goshen, where
he has been confined.

TERRIBLE SEQUEL-The Buffalo Com
mercial publishes a series of letters detailing a
terrible sequel to life of crime and illicit love
The parties are, a Mr.. Harlow Case, who, some
II or IA years ago, held the position of assist
ant postmaster under Mr.. Dorsheimer. He
was member of one of our churches, married,
and the father OF family, and, in all his walks,
enjoyed the respect, esteem, and confidence of
the whole community. Removing to Sandus-
ky, Ohio, he received the appointment of Col
lect.r of that port, under Mr.. Fillmore. While
holding that Office, he was intimate in the
family of Mr.. f., one of his assistants. Mrs.
f. was young, beautiful, imprisoned, and a
fatal attachment grew up between the two,
which remained unsupported until the truth
was made known by the sudden elOpement of
Case with Mrs. F., and the simultaneous dis
COyery that he had abScOnded with government
funds to the amount of some $4,000 From
that time forward, nearly all trace of the guilty
pair was lost. The family of Case, bereaved
and betrayed, remained hopeless in their grief
Mr.. f. engaged in a long but frutless chase of
the tugitives. And now, from off the sea,
come tidings-a broken, halftold story of lone
ly wanderings in foreign lands a full recital
OF a neyer-ceasng remOrSe with pitiful and
solitary deaths in tar-away islands and on the
stormy waters of the Indian Ocean Mrs f.,
the unfortunate victim of illicit love, died in
Ceylon in June, 1856, of a disease of the eli
mate, IN the deepest mental agony, after exact
ing lncessant promises that her chid-her dear
little daughter-shOUld be returned to the arms
of its bereaved father. This promise Case en-
deayored faithfully to fulfill and started with
her himself for England, in order to put her in
charge of parties who would carry out the last
request Of her dying mother; but the child,
who had been failing constantly since her
mothers death, was unable to survive the
passage, prolonged and aggravated by severe
storms, and on the 10Th Of July, 1858, died,
and was buried at sea.

p. Pierce, who has charge of the summer res
idence Of Mr.. Harris, in Brookline, visited the

tered about, and the clearcst evidences left the
operations of a burglar, and search was at once
commenced. The house was examined from
top to bottom, without success, until, on enter
ing the cellar, it was discovered that a plank
had been removed from the cistern Peering
through the aperture the burglar was
found submerged to his chin. He proved to
be an Irshman about 2S years of age His
name is unknown. He lost three fingers from
his left hand which may lead to his identified
ton. He was locked up for examination.
