EXECUTION OF STEVENS AND
HAZLETT.

CHARLEsTowN. Va, March l6.-The town
was thronged with visitors to-day, and sever
al companies Of military were in attendance.
Stevens and Hazlett were hung at noon.
They appeared resigned to their fate. Stevens
died very hard, while Hazlett died without a
struggle. Both exhibited great frmness and
resignation.
There were no religious exercises at the
gallows, as the prisoners persisted in refusing
all the kindly offices Of the ministry in their
last moments. They were both Spritualists,
and had peculiar religion Of their own, which
enable them to meet their fate with cheerful
ness and resignation. Both their bodies
have been forwarded to Marcus Spring, South
Amboy, n. j. They will reach Baltimore in
the early morning train.

beer, and demurring to its being intoxicating,
the case was continued from time to time un-
I'll analysis was had Of the beer kept for
sale by Saxton, when it was found to contain
II - parts pure achohol, or. 3-4 4th proof
brandy. On this showing Saxtou's counsel
put in a plea Of guilty, aud requested the
Court to enter mp judgement. This beer,
thus analysed, is the same article kept in near
ly all OF our many beer shops, and is most
clearly intoxicating Shall this beer selling

CHARLEsroN CoNvENTIoN.--Thc press
ure has become so great upon the National
Democratic Committee, for change from
Charleston to some other place for holding
the Democratic Convention, that the Commit
tee have determined to hold a meeting, with
a view to consider the subject. Every sec
tion Of the country is complaining of the
threatened extortions. Fifty dollars a day
will be charged for the use of parlors, aud ev-
erything in proportion. The National Com
mittee agreed to pay $3.50 per day for the use
of public hall. If backed up by the Democ-
racy of the different sections, the Committee
will change the place OF meeting from Charles
ton to Baltimore.
But they won't be "backed up by the De-
mocracy Of tho different sections" And il
they were, the Cincinnati Convention fixed
the place, and the Committee have no power
to move it. The South controlled tho Gin
oinnat Convention, and they will the one at
Charleston. So, all the Northern delegates
have to do is, to Ego in and be squeezed"

STATES ATToRNEY.-Wo learn that Iu-
Their Henry, Esq, of Waterbury, has been
appointed States Attorney for the County of
Washington, in place of d. X. Smith, de-
ceased We have nothing to say against Mr.
Henry, for he is undoubtedly competent for
the duties Of the office, and We hope will dis
charge them with honor to himself and the
county. But if report is true, the arrange
ments that have been made, by parties inter
ested in the next fall elections, to affect this
nomination, need watching by the people.
This bargaining and dickering among candi-
dates for office is despisable, and we hope the
people of the county win frown it down.

The CENSUS OF 1860, AND THE APPoRTIoNMENT
FOR CONGRESS UNDER 1.-THE census statistics of
New England as far as received, do not present so
large an increase of population during the last de-
cade was anticipated, with the exception of the
State of Connecticut-that State having gone large
ly into the manufacturing business, and her popu-
latlon having increased in greater ratio than in
any other of the New England States.
In our own State think the full official returns
will not bring the population above CSC, 900, if it
does up to that number The greatest increase here
has been in the county of Aroostook, into which,
for few years past settlers have been focking to
improve of the best farming lands that can be
found any. In the old counties the increase will be
in slight ratio, some of them showing almost no.
thing. The returns from this city, as far as COM
pleted, tend to show that our population will not
run up to $4,000. 1t has been estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Should the ratio of $4,000 be adopted as the
basis for member Of the House of Representatives
in Congress under the new apportionment, Maine
will lose one Representative. So will all the other
New England States excepting Connecticut which
latter State will probably save her fourth member
by the large fraction she would possess over and
above the population required for three members of
the House. The Western States will gain largely
in this respect. Iowa. whose population is expect
ed to exceed 100000, would send six members, be-
ing gain of four, which is the greatest proportion
ate increase of any State in the Union. Minnesota
which, under the act admitting her into the Union
now sends two members to the House, will, proba-
bly, lose one Of them, as her population is not ex-
pected to exceed ITO, 000.-Portland (Ae.) Argus

JOHN BELL AND HENRY CLAY-Thc Opposition
campaign papers endeavored to relieve Mr.. Bell of
the effect Of his letter written in 1926 and 1927 de-
mandatory of Mr.. Clay, for voting for Mr.. Adams
for the Presidency. They refer to what Mr.. Bell
said and did for Mr. Clay in 1889, 1910, and 1874
If Mr.. Clays old and devoted friends are satisfied
with such defence as these campaign papers have
made perhaps those old friends may suggest to them
that in the canvass Of l84s after Mr. Clay had been
shelfed for Gen. Taylor, Mr.. Bell said:
"ln giving up Mr.: Clay he knew all did not agree
with him He did not think the
Wing party so poor that they could boast but one
man who deserved their support"
Those devoted old friends of Mr.. Clay may further
suggest to them that in 1850, in his place in the
United States Senate, Mr.. Bell branded Mr. Clay as
"a great moral despot"
If the services in 1889, 1910 and 1874, by posi-.
bity set off the charges IN 1926 and 1897, the sub
sequent conduct of Mr. Bell toward Mr. Clay stands
yet in judgment against Mr.. Bell in the estimation

On LINcoLNs ELEcrIoN-There IS question put
out relative to the election of Lincoln, which is,
whether that event would be sufficient cause for
dissolution Of the Union Perhaps we had better
wait and see whether he is elected not before
decide the question. We are inclined to think he
will not be.
However, such an event may not be cause, but
an incident connected with abundant existing caus-
es, to warrant such STEP If the existence of the
Union depends upon such contingency, why have
any election at all Douglas has acted out the SEN
tment, that if we will not elect him, he will split
the party, even if it elects Lincoln. Men calling
themselves Democrats, and who are Southern resi-
dents at least will support Douglas. So, if Lincoln
is elected it will be because Southern citizens in this
and other cases are not united Breckinridge and
Lane affording the only hope for the South.
We must be just "Be Just and fear not is q
very good motto. We doubt the justice, when two
great parties contending electoral ground for
one to say to the other, if we do not elect
we will dissolve the Union. Besides, this election
takes place under that Constitution, for which, as
Southern Rights men, We have all along commended
1t is not an act of the government, but an express
sion of the sentiments of the people of the whole
Union to whose arbitrament we have submitted the
question.
We have had cause to dissolve the Union from
the legislative action of many of the free States in
multiplying law which was created to protect our
property and to admit our rights as citizens OF
sovereign State. We have moral and political
right to dissolve the Union tomorrow, because of
the violation of the Constitution in disannullng
supreme law of the land, which the Federal Govern
ment has no power to counterfeit, the wrong being
committed by sovereign States who, remaining in
the Union refuse to acknowledge the power of the
Constitution. To be sure they ought in justice to
be made to submit, or be driven out of the Union
But the Federal Government lacks the power or the
will to vindcate the integrity of the Constitution
so the Constitution is failure in this regard
But the election takes place under the Consttu-
ton and the laws made in pursuance thereof, which
is the supreme law of the land and We are bound,
constitution loving citizens, not to resist the is
sue We think, that while the election of Lincoln
may not be sood cause for secession it might afford
an occasion for that act. in doing which, we could
not be in justice condemned, in view of the wrongs
we have suffered and continue to suffer- But we
can tell better about it when the time comes

tories but insist that 1T Is not only the right but
the Imperative duty Of Congress to legslate for its
protection property aoithin the Territories, Just
as it would be its right and imperave duty to legis-
late for the protection of horses CATTLE or any other
species of property within the Territories, and the
coroary from this proposition is, that the Terrific
rial Legislatures have no right to drive off slaves or
impair the value of their labor by "unfriendly leg
islation," any more than they would have the right
by "unfriendly Legislation" to drive off, or impair
the value of any other species of property This,
we repeat is the ground occupied by the Southern
Opposition, generally and it is the only true South
ern ground. Douglas doctrine of "unfriendly leg
slaton against slavery by Territorial legislatures,
strikes at the very root of the institution of slavery
everywhere To acquiesce IN such doctrine, aoould
be declaration that slaues are not property-G de-
ctaration that man has not the same right to hold
has slace, and have his labor secured to him, as he
has to hold his horse and have its labor secured to
him. And get zoe find the Raleigh Standard, L.
