ExEcUr1oN.-Plea NJ Mask, who MUIR
dared young lady at Holly Springs. Miss,
was executed on Friday Of last week There
were abtout 4, 600 persons present at the
scene. The Mercury says:
Although naturally a powerful man in
physical strength he was unable to walk or
stand without assistance, and two men sup
ported him from the carriage and while on
the scafold. He had been confined in Jail 4
years, which reduced him to mere child in
strength. During that long period, no doubt
the CHASTITY phantom of his murdered victim
oftentimes appeared, as they appear to other
murderers, in horrid dreams Arrived at the
scafold, a short religious cere mony was per-
formed, the prisoner placed on the platform,
the moose and cap adjusted, and without one
word Of farewell to world which he had out
ragged, Pleasant NJ. Mask crossed the river Of
death.

70 the Delegates Of the Congressional
Convention.

GENTLEMEN:-It is not my object in adj
dressing you through the press, to point
out to you thecourse you should pursue in
choosing . - represent this District in
the Congress Of the United States. I mere
ly take the liberty Of introducing to you
Mr. James Skinner, as man worthy of
that nomination. Through all the vicissi-
tudes OF . young lawyers life, he has
shown before you specimen Of unequal
led talents and perseverance,-a man if
there is any in this District, on whom that
honor should be conferred.
Mr.. VIM. Fl. Hartman has an Office which
pays him very we'll including the different
other incomes Of his profession. But MIR.
Skinner has never had any honor worthy
Of mention given to him by the voice Of the
people, only that which he has gained by
his own unwearied exertions therefore, dc
not act as if you were in some empire
ruled by the nobility, but act as free peo-
pie under the administration OF free laws,
| and consider in your own minds the two
gentlemen ask yourselves, who our vote
should be cast in favor Of, and your con-
sciences, if you have any, will answer Mr.
Skinner. f you have any doubt as to his
being worthy Of that nomination, inquire
Gf you are not acquainted with him. o
his friends as to his character, and you vii
soon find out that he is deserving Of honor
as much as any man in the State.
And 7 know he Will tischarge the duties
Of Representative, ifyou think proper t.
bestow it upon him, to as great an advan
tage to his country and himself as Mr.
Hartman, or any other man you can sent
| there. A DEMOCRAT.

LetCher and G0ggin.

Information Of the discussions between
the opposing candidates for Governor pours
in from all quarters, speaking encourage
ment to democrats, and defeat overwheim-
ing defect 60 the opposition.
A private letter fromfa highly respecta-
BILE gentleman Of Wytheville, the scene
of the last brilliant romance of the opposi-
tion-says the enthusiasm there for Letcher
is unequalled, and that it is generally con-
ceded that Goggin is no match for Letcher,
on the stump. In spite Of everything to
the contrary, the opposition papers still
TEEN with enthusiastic accounts of antici-
pated drubbings which Goggin is to give
Letcher, and the Richmond Wing, the me-
tropolitan organ, in its standing programme
hopes "the people will turn out en- masse,
to listen to the discussions between Goggin
and Letcher,'' as it desires s.them all to
witness the haying alive which poor Letch-
er will receive at Goggin's Fhands" But
like the elephant who invariably stands on
his head in the big circus bills, and never
does it in the real show, to the unspeakable
disappointment Of children and con6ding
country youths this haying alive part
of the performance has been heretofore left
out, for reasons generally assigned on each
occasions, such as the indisposition of the
performing elephant, &c
