At the request of several of our read
ers, we publish the address which tn
great criminal intended delivering jus
before his execution on Friday last

signed by him was the real cause fet
not delivering, but simply handing i
to J. H. Debar, Esq, we do not know
suffice it to state, the address ha'
been handed to the press according II
the request of Eisele. 1t contains seunt
advice, which, if followed by the de
testable author, would have saved hin
from dying on the gallows. .
The following is his last cOnmuni
cation:
DEAR FRIENDS IL would like to sa!
few words to you before leaving THU
world. 1t was the will of God that
shonld come here-and no further, ant
when think back the last twenty-five
years my heart breaks Oh beholding bu
a continuity of sin and crime. from M
early youth until now. As early il
my tenth year my hands were detiled b!
stolen property, commencing with small
things and increasing, until at last
shed the blood of my fellow men. | be
came murderer and must now atom,
with my life on the seaffold. What {
terrible pang to think that my good ole
father who took 50 much pains to rails,
me good man and christian, is to heal
of his son dying felon's death on thu
gallows. Oh! like many of you perhaps
/ did not then heed their well mean
admonition. did not know where i
would lead me; here am low, and
and my life are before you as warn
ing. pray God in my dying hour that
it may not be lost upon the young PEG
pie present and would write or speal
more, but time fails, have but few
moments 90 live, may God have nero!
upon my soul, and my merited deati
serve as an everlasting example.
