would ask no man to do wrong, if it cost me uiy life. *' 1 have been hero three months chained, and a part of tho tirao handcuffed. Don't blame anybody but myself, and you all know the reason why: for trying to cut ray hob bles." Here lie spoke of handcuffs on his hands being so tight as to make his arms bleed, lie tlien spoke in kind terras of those who visited him in his cell and prayed for him. lie spoke of Dr. Junkins and Rev. Mr. MeClaiu discharging their duty, saying : " Thoy came bore and prayed for me like Christian men, and have been the mitigation of saving my soul from hell." He next spoke of the Methodists, and the kiudaess shown him by the people of llollidaysburg, and called upon God to bless them all. " 1 want you to think I am pleading the truth. • I am not like the witnesses ; they had no ropes around their necks, ready to be launched into heaven or hell, or they never would have sworn my life away. " I have boon charged with more crimes. 1 have seen it in tho papers. lam supposed to bo tho murderer of two more men. They never said anything about that uutil I was in chains, but God Almighty will lmvc something to say about it. He knows that 1 never killed a man. I hope never to see the Kingdom of Heaven if ©vor I killed a man. lam also oharged with stealing horses. Fellow-citi zens, I never stole a horse, or any thing, ex cept fruit, and there are few who have not done that. Never, as lam a dying man, dj. I steal an; thing but fruit. Ain't it hard for a man to be accused when ho is chained in prison and can't defend himself? Let me say God has something to say. I love my fellow men, but I care not for what they say when falso. lam not the man lam represented to be. I can die without a tear, for I have noth ing to fear, bless God. I have made my election sure. In Christ I have placed my trust, and when I leave this scaffold I shall go homo to Heaven, and hope to meet my God, iny aged futher, who has gone before me, my mother, wife, child, sisters and brothers. What care I far this death ? My friends care, for they have not a stain upon their character. It is riot iny fault, God Almighty knows it." Ho then made sonic allusion to his at tempt to commit suicide, and said he was instigated to do it by the devil, but was triad he did not accomplish it, for then he should have been a murderer indeed and gone to hell. He then concluded by singing— "McKim will soon be launched into eter nity, and his soul will go to Heaven." A portion of scriptures was then read by I>r. Junkin, and the Hymn beginning with "Prepare mc gracious God Who now stands before thy face," was sung, in which the prisoner joined. A prayer was then made by Dr. .Junkin. after which the clergy, his counsel, the officers and others took leave of hint. The rope was re-adjusted by the .Sheriff and the cap placed over his face. In a few words he again reiterated his innocence of the crime for which he was to suffer, ending with " I iell you as a dy ing man lam innocent Tell the Sheriff I am now ready." At twenty minutes of one o'clock the Sheriff drew the rope attached to the prop of the trap, ami the body fell. A few up heaving* of the chest and all was over, After hanging twenty minutes the physi cians pronounced him dead, and he was lowered into his coffin. His neck was not dislocated—he strangled to death. His neck was a little discolored, hut his tongue • lid not protrude. Ilis face was livid but looked natural. There were some three thousand persons in town, and there TO some drunkenness and fighting, hut not so much as one might have expected. A party has just passed my house, singing in chorus— "To see McKim the crowd came sn, Some drunk whiskey and some drunk gin." So that Captain Whiskey has evidently been about. • The Sheriff tells mc that he had 2500 applications for admission to the jail yard by persons anxious to witness the execu tion, and it was with great difficulty the crowd could he kept from the jail door. It is due to the witnesses to state that no person present believed a single word of Mc Kim's statement in regard to them. Foreign News. QCEKEC, August 23.—The Canadian 6erew steamship Anglo Saxon arrived at this port this (Sunday) morning. Sbo left Liverpool lit about two o'clock, P. M., on Wednesday, the 12th inst. The reuto of tho Anglo Saxon was too far nortii of tho line selected for tho Atlantic cable to lead to any expectation of her fal ling in with tho telegraph cable fleet. Her officers report much thick weather, and con stant head-winds through the whole passage. Owing to an accident on shore, connected with the landing of tho cable, tho Telegraph Expedition did not finally sail from Valentin, Ireland, until tho evening of Friday, tho 7th inst. The latest report from Valentin is dated August 10th, 4 o'clock P. M., as follows: Tho work of laying down the Atlantic ca ble is going on ns satisfactorily as the beet friends ef the enterprise could desire. Up to the present time about three hundred miles of the cable liavo been laid. The depth of the water into which it is now being submer ged is nearly two miles. The laying of the cable from the shallow to tho deep water, was effected without difficulty. The signals from on board the steamer Niagara aro everything that an electrician ceuld desire. The steam ers are heading west, with a modoratcly fair breeze, and the cable is being run out frem on board tho Niagara at the rate of about five miles per hour, and messages are being constantly received on shore. The follewin£ is the latest flash from on board the Niagara* " All well on board—moderate westerly wind —all more and more trustful of complete suc cess." Lord Jehn Russell had reported from the Parliamentary Select Committee, that the Jews could not be admitted as members of Parliament under tho existing Act for the modification of oaths. Lord Palmerston submitted to the House of Commons the difficulties with France in regard to the Moldavian eloctisns, and stated that it had been decided in conference at Oiburn, to recommend the Sultan to annul the Into election. Lord Palmerston also stated that there had ben differences between the English and Fronch Governments relative to the Princi palities—not as to their union, but simply as to the regularity of the elections. There was good reason to believe that Austria would concur with tho decision arrived at between the French and English Governments, and that tho Sultan, seeing that there wa9 noth ing in the measures recommended that would compromise his dignity or independence, would adopt their views, and declare the elec tions void. Lord Palmorston said thoro was no ground to approhend any estrangement between France and England on account of the Mol davian difficulties. A spirited debate had taken place in Par liament in regard to affairs in India. Lord Palmcrsten statod that thirty thousand troops had been sent out, and that active recruiting was going en. Mr. D'lsreali expressed the opinion that tho campaign for this year was lost. • THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday, August 27, 1857. American Republican Ticket.

Env utioH of McKim. —Wc publish in our paper of to day an account of the exe cution of McKim at Ilollidaysburp, togeth er with an extraordinary speech he deliver ed just Iteforc he was launched into eterni ty. Although asserting hi> innocence to the lust, he failed to say anything calcula ted to create credence in the public mind. Had he explained why lie left the cars at Altoona—for that was not his journey's end; why Norcross, with whom he traveled in company, did the same thing, ami why subsequently he fled like a fugitive, there might be those who would have believed that he may have been innocent; but as it is, the conviction is almost forced upon the mind that he died a hardened criminal and with a lie upon his lips. 1) emoerati'' htcrnsifti ncy. —Thonc who remember the presidential campaign of 1840, and several gubernatorial campaigns in this State since, will no doubt recollect with what pertinacity the democracy charg ed whig candidates with being in the hands of committees, who they alleged governed the candidates' movements and actions.— This, like many other things, has " come home to roost," and their candidate for Governor, Wm. F. Packer, now stands con fessed in the hands of a State Committee who take it upon themselves to say what their candidate shall do, say, or perhaps think ! Jf this" begining 'he followed up, we shall have a new chain in patent demo cratic rule, should the people elect liim Governor, as in all cases he may refer to his committee, and thus creep out from some unpleasant predicaments incident to that office. The apologies offered for this course by his supporters is both amusing and instructive, for while they pretend that Judge Wilmot would be nowhere in an argumentative contest with Mr. Packer, they consider it " something new," as es tablishing " a precedent" that might pre vent some very good men from being nom inated, (Sec. In all this they forget that Francis It. Shunk was the first candidate for Governor who traveled through the .State making political addresses; and if it is all right for one candidate to do so, it cannot he wrong for two, as it would afford the people a much better opportunity of judging for themselves by hearing both sides. communications on hand will receive attention next week SELL ALL THE PUBLIC WORKS. Now th&t the Main Lint 1 has been sold, 1 a general feeling finds expression in favor of the sale of those portions of the public j works still in the hands of the State. We find the following just sentiments on this subject in the Reading Gazette and Demo crat of a recent date, a paper standing next to the " Adlor" in authority among j the democracy of Berks: " The proper objects of civil government arc few and simple. The fewer and more simple we make them, the nearer we arrive at the perfection of republican institutions. The laying of railroads and digging of canals, the transportation of merchandise and con veyance of passengers—indispensable though they be to the wanta of a trading people—are not the enterprizes for which a government such as our 3 was established. Our indulgent eld Commonwealth has done what her chil dren ought to have done for themselves, and paid dearly for it, as is generally (lie case with those who travel out of their sphere to assist others. She is more to be commiseratd than blamed for all this, But now that hex children are ablo to get along without her, and only abuse her favors, she does wisely to sell out, and relinquish a business which was never congenial to her tastes or inclination, and consequently has never been profitable to her. her sell all Iter canals and rail roads to those who can and will make money out of tliom ; and return to the simpler and more proper duty of protecting the people in their persons, property, and lawful pursuits." Tin' Cvunty Ticket. —\Vc had intended to make sonic remarks on the ticket recently nominated by the Union Convention, in connection with the proceedings, but thus far the Secretary has neglected to hand them over for publication. Although there was some little dissatisfaction manifested at first at the action of the convention—per haps justly so—we are pleased to learn that this feeling has already subsided, notwith standing the efforts of u few interested in dividuals, and that the prospects for row ing up the patents are decidedly good. *or The Democrat thinks it is "amusing"' to be called Canal Democracy, State Rob bers, &c., and then complains that the " plain real democratic party" is never heard of. It may be very amusing to those who have had their fingers in the .State treasury and grown rich thereby, but it has not been very amusing to the tax payers. As to the not democratic party, there is no longer any such in existence. The old federalists who have taken hold of the bridle of patent democracy have made the word mean anything that will subserve the '• cohesive power of public plunder," and though many may follow it as a phan tom, yet the democracy of other days, ci ther in principle or practice, is obsolete. By the by, while the Democrat is objecting to the use of what it calls slang epithets, why are its columns so rife with "Black Republicans," "Dark Lanterns," and other choice terms ? Take that saw log out of your eye, neighbor, before condemning others. LOCAL AFFAIRS.

' —This old saying Is likely to be strongly exempli fied this year in the grain trade, so far as this section is concerned, the proprietor of Marks's steam mill having already purcha sed a boat load of new wheat in the Balti more market and brought it here for the purpose of converting the grain into flour. From all that we can learn there is but lit tle good wheat in this or the neighboring counties, and in quantity the crop is sadly deficient, so much so that there are fanners, occupying good land, who will have to buy bread.
