Next Friday Dan Smith, the convicted
murderer Of the late Mr.. James Meri-
wether, will be hanged in the Jail yard,
unless the Governor commutes the pun
ishment TO imprisonment for life, in ac-
cordance with the prayer Of a number
Of petitioners who have horror of cap.
ital punishment The petition was carr
ried to the Governor some days since by
Mr. Yerger, counsel Of the convicted
murderer, and the result has not yet been
officially announced. Indeed, it is prob
able that the Governor has no power in
the premises other than TO issue re-
spite from time to time. Many of our
citizens believe that a hanging has be-
come necessary to stay the hands of as
sassins, while others question the bene-
fetal effect of the civilized mode Of le-
gal strangulation However, the scat
fold is ready for the victim-the same
instrument that was used by Sheriff
Curry some years since. The rope has
also been secured, and the officers Of the
law are ready to perform the disagreed
Bile duty. Smith, the negro victim, has
been taking leave Of persons and things
on EARTH preparatory to his final exit
from the world. OF course thousands
will assemble TO witness the horrible
sight on Friday next--a sight that is by
no meaRs pleasing or agreeable to those
who unfortunately possess sensibility.
