Mr.. EDITOR: have seen extracts from newspa-
pers of North Carolina that the miscreant Helper
had robbed his employer while in Salisbury several
years since Is it too late for the Grand Jury of the
County in which Salisbury is, to investigate the
charge? If not, they bound in justice to them
selves and to others to act Give your talented and
patriotic Governor the means of demanding this flu
gitive criminal in order that he may undergo merit
ed punishment. JUSTICE.
In reply to our Norfolk friend we would say that
Helper could not now owing to the lapse Of time, be
arrested for the robbery referred to. But he may
rest assured that our authorities will omit the use
of no means to which they can resort legtimately,
to bring the miscreant Helper to punishment

scaffold at five minutes past eleveu The prisoners
were in a cart, in which were also the Sheriff and
Jallor. They mounted the scaffold with firm STEP
The prisoners had the caps placed over their heads
by the Sheriff, and after appropriate prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. North, of the Presbyterian church, they
were launch into eternity. Before the rope was cut
Green was heard to offer up fervent prayer, but
Copeland was not heard to pray. Green's neck was
broken, and he died without struggle. Copeland
writhed in violent contortions for several minutes
They fell at eleven minutes after eleven. Three
ministers stood upon the scafold-Messrs Waugh

The Execution Of the White Men, Cook and Coppie.
At ten minutes to one o'clock Coppie and Cook

having been adjusted by surgeon so as to insure
a speedy and less painful death.
Cook was very much agitated and shed tears both

matter very quietly and composedly, and scarcely
seemed to realize his awful situation.
After the caps and ropes were adjusted and they
had taken their places on the DROP Coppie sale,

SPECIAL NoTICE-Tbe STANDARD is conducted strietly
Party Tests.

In response to the inquiries of friends, we beg
leave to repeat what we said in June last in relation
10 party tests and side issues In the Standard of
June %, 1859, we said:
Next and last as to ad calorem taxation in North
Carolina. Some Democrats think that the best or
1.-The only practicable mode of levying taxes is the
one now in existence; others think that this mode
ought to be set aside and the ad oalore plan adopt
|ed No man has right to say that Democrat who
fyors nd ualorem taxation is no Democrat, or that
Democrat who opposes it is no Democrat. No State
convention has considered the question, and no party
test has, therefore, been laid down. If we were
against it. we would labor fairly to have men nomi-
hi we were for it, we would labor in the same way
to have men nominated who were for it; but, as we
valued our character good Democrat, and as we
valued harmony and continued good feeling, zoe
rouM rote for the nominees, whether oar peculiar
views on this State measure prevailed in the conven-
ton or not That is the rule, friends, and the only
rule by which the Democratic party of the State can
be preserved and perpetuated We must permit
freedom of thought and of opinion only requiring,
as we stated in the beginning of this article that
yreat principles shall neither be departed from nor
eontravened and that all the members of the party
hal support such nominations are fairly made in
Iconventions and caucuses."
Let us either discard side issues or agree to dis
agree in relation to them. For our part we have
declined to discuss the question of ad ralorem taxa
ton though We have admitted into our columns
communications for and against the proposition
Taking no part oursef in the discussion Of the ques
ion, we do not feel at liberty to close our paper
gainst the advocates or opponents of the measure
With the outside sectional pressure upon US, and
With the menaces sounding in our ears from oul
Northern brethren, We will all have quite enough tc
DO for the next twelve months in maintaining the
Independence of the State and the integrity Of its
Institutions. The question of repose and security r
he Union or of independence out of it, will most
probably absorb all minds and employ all tongues
nd pens during the ensuing campaign.
