Plain talk from a PsnnsSIvanian.

John NJ Cooper, Esq, of Chanfbersburg, Pa. in
retiring from the edtorship of the aaey Spirit made
use of the following plain language in his valedctO-
ry in view of the then possible 19minatlon Of Ste
phen A. Douglas
should the Democratic National Convention, on
reassembling at Baltimore, commit the supreme fol-
ly of nominating that gentleman for the Presidency
shall be one of about million Democrats who will
refuse to vote for him.
"There are many reasons why will not vote for
Mr. Douglas, but | will state only three Of them
here First He has abandoned the Cincinnati plat
form Second. He has repudiated the decision Oft the
Supreme Court of the United States. Third. He
has caused the defeat of the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania for two years in succession.
We commend these reasans TO the special atten-
ton of the Pennsylvania Democracy. We think
they apply with double force now.

EEw York July 13-Hicks the pirate murderer,
was executed at l1:36 to-day, on Bedloes Island. A
large number of persons witnessed the dying strrg
giles Of the hardened wretch.
On his being conducted to the rallows, the first
thing that presented itself to him was the identical
sloop the e. A. johnson, which was mOoied directly
in front of the gallows. Thus his last look on this
earth was on the scene of his bloody deed. The E.
A. johnson had large flag, bearing her name, fly
ing, and on the masthead was perched a sailcrs
who waved his cap and hurrahed as the pirate as
oended the tree. Her deck was crowded. A slight
murmGr could be distinctly heard on the shore
when Hicks was placed on the drop.
Marshal Rynlers advanced and addressed Hicks
as follows q Hicks, if you desire to say anything,
you can address tue people" Hicks replied, in a
faint tone I" don'E want TO say Snything to any
body except my confessor; | wish you to hang me
quick" The black cap was then pulled over his
eyes, and few seconds after, and amidst the yells
of the spectators, at 11:l5 O'Clock. the rope was
cut, and Hicks was launched into. eternity. He
trembled violently for two minutes and then re-
NAMED quiet. In four Elinutes slight plunge of
legs and violent twitchiDg of the arms was per-
ceptible.
After hanging thirteen minutes the body was low
cred. and the doctor examined his pulse. He was
allowed to hang thirty minutes before he was cut
down. although life was extinct in less than fifteen
minutes The body was then taken down and placed
in a coffin, and was conveyed on board the steam
boat Red Jacket to be taken TO the place of his IN
terment
