THE CAUSE OF THE ,UNION.
That the' efforts now making in the South,
to.unite the People 'of that part of the country
against their fellow-citizens of the North and
the West, are dictated by a desire to over
throw the Union, is clear to our Mind; but
that it trill fail is 'equally cleat:. During Mr.
CALHOUN'S career he was: enabled, as well be
cause of his personal character as from the
exigencies of the politics of the day; to make
some formidable demonstrations against the
Union; : but since that period this Governi
meat has agate- and again proved its ex
cellence and .its 'equality ; And now, so
fast-rooted is the Union sentiment that
. _
`twenty -autumns -could- not- move it from
base. There is no doubt, however,
' that if there are few to - imitate Mr. OAI.
noujes virtues, there are many;eVen at thin
moment in the Smith, who flatter themselves.
- that they can borrow from his examples some
warrant for new proceedings against the Union..
`rhea° 'e - ifen . seize 'upon every pretext to push
for Ward their baleful designs. .Anything to
bring on the crisis is most acceptable to them;
and- whether they ask the North to endorse
bold fraud' in 'Kansas 'or to shout hithannas
WILLLikt _WALKER. the pirate chief, they
r, seem to be in their element, ready to accept
the stern refusal to sanction these double
crimes; as, forsooth, iyalr upon the South !
, There have been intervals in the experieneo
of; the Southoiti . States, when the masses,
'rising as one man; hurled all 'the enemies if
the Union bate a common sepulchre. Such a
-;.reckoning took place upon the proclamation
of General Incisor; some twenty-five years
ago; tind'again an 1851, when HOWELL Conn
• upraitied the Union banner in Georgia, and
_carried it forward to a, brilliant triumph. The
present invocation to the patriotism of the
South is a minds more serious and practical
ono. - There is now ft-proposal to the South
to give importance to fraud in the one case,
and piracy in the other; and this proposal is
made, notoriously, to precipitate a diiision of
the patriotic meri of the whole country, and to
make disunion a necessity I Is it not amazing
that some bold and disinterested spirit does
- not come and take hold of this wicked
scheme, and expose it to the detestation of the
-country ? Such a Southern man would entitle
- .hfraself to the gratitude - of the whole people.
. • As- to - the sincerity of tho professions of
- these disunionists, of regard for the Adminis
tration, it is a most transparent deceit. All
their organs show constant signs of distrust
and hostility. They are no more earnest in
their support of Mr. BUCHANAN than aro the
expectants in certain of the free States, who
shame their manhood, and insult Mr. 80/
/ by supposing that praise of fraud
is a welcome offering to his eyes. The dia.
urilonista the SOuth know that Mr. Bu-
CHARAN la the fast friend of the Union. They
know that, litre General - JACKSON, 110 will
tolerate no disunion machinations, and there
fore, however they may affect to be friends,
-they aro at heart his implacable foes. .A.nd
' the result "of tho' present political movements
''will Confirm the prediction. .

: readers a brief Sketch of hie past career. ,
ALBERT STDNEYIOIINBTON, of the ,
se
cond regiment of cavalry, now commanding in
Utah, stands a little Over six feet high, iq of a
.large, bony," sitiewy frame, with a grave but
pleasant Saco; possesses quiet, unassuming
manners—forming in all a person of attractive
and raher imposing appearance. Born in Ken
tucky, hei was graduated from the military ace
.demy at West Point in. 1826, at about the age
of twenty. Though holding abigh position in
his class, his active, temperament induced him'
to waive 'appointment in the more scientific
but sedentary branches of the service, and ho
was' gazetted a brevet second lieutenant of the
sixth regiment of infantry, then engaged in
B erl / Won our Indian frontier.
;.The excitements of frontier life, though,
did riot tertiary his aspirations, and in the break
ing Ovt of the'Texas revolution be resigned
his commission in the United States army,
And "proceeded at once to offer his services to
the embryo Republic. Entering Texas with
out letters or acquaintances, ho modestly join
ed:the army as a simple volunteer. Possessed
of a ;round military education; matured by
' mabseqUent study, having tilled the most im
portant-
offices in his regiment within the
reach of a lieutenant, and won an elevated
'esteem with his brother officers, he could with
justice, and without the imputation of impu
dence, have'claimed a position of rank in the
'Veit , formed and forming battalions.'
But his modesty (a marked characteristic of
the man) withheld him from trumpeting his
own' praiSes: ' Accident ono day brought the
young volunteer to the notice of the late la
mented Rrtax, then holding the office of a
General.' Struck with the comprehensiveness
and clearness of his remarks, the General made
some inquiries in relation to him, and sending
for him, found that he had in his ranks a man
not only conversant with military organization,
Mite generals and its details, bid who pos
sessed profound military knowledge, with
great strategic abilities. He at once made
him the adjutant general of his command,
and in this grade JOHNSTON shared with his
discriminating commander in the victory at
San Jacinto. ,
The revolution in Texas afforded but a
small field for military distinction; yet, be
fore its close, the adjutant general had at
tained the rank of a general. 'The war
ended, General Joiussrox settled upon a
farm; and literally converting his sword into a
Ploughshare, Curcissarus-like, tilled the
earth, with his own hands. Called from his
retirement to till the office of Secretary
Of War, he sustained himself with great
ability, and gained in his political, as ho had
done 'previously in his military career, the
respect and affection of the people of Texas.
When Mexico worried us into a war, in 1846,
this graduate of West Point, adjutant, adju
tant-general, general, Secretary of War, again
tendered his services to his country. Pushing
no claims for office, though he might with
propriety have sought the highest, he came
forward, with his rifle on his shoulder, as a
private soldier. The regiment, however, made
himita colonel, and in that capacity he served
until disbanded by expiration of service.
General Taxwa, though he parted with the
regiment, would not with its colonel ; and to
secure his valuable aid, attached him to his
person as an inspector general.
Sharing with "Old Zack" the dangers and
glories of Buena Vista, he returned to the
United States and to his farm. Offered a pay.
mastership in the army in 1846, he accepted
it. In March,lBss, on the raising of four new
regiments, the lion. Secretary of War, Mr..
jEVFERBON DAVIB,WI.IO knew JOHNSTON'S
mili
tary qualifications and services, appointed him
colonel of the second cavalry, and soon after
ordered him to the military command of the
department of. Texas. The prnsent A.droinio
tration have assigned him to the command of
Utah.
In all the relations of life, Colonel Joint-
Brox, or General Jonxiirox as he is more gene
rally called, and as wo hope he may hereafter
be always addressed, seems to have Riled ably
every part to which he has been cast. Not
only has be been able, but his ability has been
accompanied by the esteem and respect of all
the communities, civil or military, into which
he has been thrown.
Few men, we are told, are more popular or
more loved in Texas; and in the army he en
joys fully the confidence and respect of his bro
ther officers. In the army we find him regarded
as among the ablest of his rank, and his selec
tion for his present arduous duties as peculiar
ly fortunate. From all accounts, the Adminis
tration in Colonel JOHNSTON have made a wise
choice, and we may hopefully anticipate a sa
tisfactory issue, if ono be possible, of the Mor
mon difficulties.
THE PROPHECY FULFILLED
A fortnight ago, when Senator Donor.As re
plied to the charge of factious opposition, he
predicted that within sixty days, the self-ap.
pointed friends of the Administration who were
assailing him for daring to differ with the I'resi
dent on a Single head of his message, and who
were threatening to read him out of the party,
would themselves turn against Mr. BUCHANAN
and assume an attitude more hostile than any
he ever occupied. His words have come
tine sooner than he or any ono else expected.
The debate in the Senate, on Thursday, on
the message of the President in reference to
the capture of General WALKER, was marked
by an acrimony that shows how hollow aro all
the professions of attachment to Mr. BU
CHANAN, made by those who have arraigned
the conduct and motives of the Senator of
Illinois before the country. What becomes
now of their test of orthodoxy Who
next is to be read out of the party for
manifesting an independent opinion? and
where aro those superserviecable friends
of Mr. BUCHANAN, who get up meetings
to denounce public and private citizens
for exercising their liberty of thought and
speech? Mark the contrast between the manly
dissent of Senator Dolmas and the coarse
denunciation of Senator Toomus. The one is
all respect; the other all abuse. The one dif
fers with no ulterior object but the peace and
welfare of the whole country ; the other declares
war on Mr. BuonaNAN for the purpose of fos
tering the freebooting spirit of the filibusters
and upholding for admiration as a hero a man
whom the President condemns as an outlaw.
Mr. Dumas expressed his profoundest re
spect for Mr. BUCHANAN, and dissented from
his views with evident reluctance and regret.
Mr. Toostns is wanting in every civil word,
while he manifest the utmost scorn towards
Mr. BUCHANAN'S principles and policy. There
is not a line in all of Mr. DountAs's able
speech that looks like ill feeling, or that
could be construed into any aspersion
upon the President's motives, while in Mr.
Towie's tirade we find such choice expres
sions as the following: " The President dared
not defend, while he endeavored to palliate
this outrage to an American Senate." The
use of the navy he treats in this wise: " What
right has the President to use the army and
navy all over the face of the earth? This
was usurpation of authority, not only in dero
gation of law, MIT IN DEROGATION OP HIS OATH
or OFFICE !" and much more in the same strain.
Sentitor Poll, front Ohio, the timid Sen
ator, who, on the Kansas question, seems
to palter with his constituents in a double
sense, shows no lack of courage when he finds
it necessary to arraign the President before
the country for performing a plain act of duty.
Ho, too, says "that the principles laid down
in -the message were neither warranted by
the Constitution, nor by any statute-law of
the United States; nor by any principles
of the law of nations." Could any
thing be more self-sufficient, less de
ferential to the wise and patriotic statesman
at the head of our Government—the chosen
ruler of 'thirty millions of people, whose hairs
have silvered in the service of his country and
the study of his country's good—than this
arrogant condemnation from the young Senator
from OhlO I Bat there were other friends in
the Senate house armed to strike great CAVIAR
down, e'en at the foot of Foncsi's statue.
The envious CANA vw there to make his rent,
and ready, too, to tenr;neunder, F . 401 time and
opportunity shall Meet together,' the bonds of
ourbolaiedgillonf , aut we hive no pleasure in
contemplating this unpleasant Beene further. If
tt,WIII not adorn a tale, it may g.eive at least to
paint a moral. It will IetIiiKEVOIIANAN know
who his true friends arc, and Mich others,
we hope, to pause era they thieW away a sup
port that they may, perhaps, only too soon
need.
Concerning the subject of discussion in the
Senate, we have a few remarks to make. After
direfully retliagbier'the President's special
message and, the speeches that followed, we
confess ourselves wholly unable to understand
for what good purpose or from what good red,
eons the President was so bitterly attacked.
lie proposed no action for the Senate to fol
low. Ile asked from them no resolution, and
sought no appropriation for any object of his
policy. Nor did he even uphold Commodoso
PAVLDING. On the contrary, he expressly
says that "he committed a gravo error," and
for simply palliating that error, by giving
him credit for " pure and patriotic motives, and
the sincere conviction that ho was promoting
iho interests and vindicating the honor of his
country," ho is made the object of malignant
abuso, and held up as ignorant of all the sta
tute laws of the United States, and of inter
national law, and even of the personal rights
of individuals. Nay more, ho is told, in plain
words, that ho has violated his duty, am/
broken his oath of office, and the line which is
to separato him and Senators is marked both
broad and deep. All this, too, without the
profession of the slightest respect, or even a
kind or civil word, while Mr. MArzonr, of
Florida, appeared as the only supporter of the
Administration who had the courage to riso in
his place and repel these assaults.
We fear that beneath this demonstration
there is a deep and settled purpose to weaken
the Administration, and so to weaken the
Union. It is preparatory only. The ma
rauding Spirit of Piracy must be growing
fearfully, when the Presidifkit of the United
States, for simply doing his duty, is so quickly
deserted by his own friends, and made the ob
ject of their malign vituperation. But what
of orthodoxy now 1 c( Ah ! no more of that,
Hal, an thou lovcst me."

President's Special Message—Monroe Doctrine
—Massacre a U. S. Troops, &c. &c. &c.
[Correspondence of The Tress.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1858
Yesterday the President sent in his communl.
cation to the Senate, with reference especially to
the arrest of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua by Com
modore Paulding, but his response to the resolu
tion of the House, passed on Monday lash will
embrace the entire negotiations with and col-morn
ing Central America, running back for a year and
more.
Thie document will doubtless excite general at
tention and remark ; for it will a'.ow, for the first
time in an official form, what are the exact rela
tions of the United States, under the existing Ad
ministration, with Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and
what Is the position assumed Vthe United States
toward England In that quart 44 in respect to the
Clayton-Bulwor treaty, and the subsequent nego
tiations for a now convention between these con
tracting parties.
While Mr. Buchanan is resolved upon sup
pressing every attempt at a violation of our neu
trality, it Is nevertheless not true, so far as I can
learn, that ho intends relaxing hie efforts for the
establishment upon thie Continent, and especially
in Central America, of a firm, steady, and just
American polioy.
Ido not believe that he will favor injustice or
oppression toward neighboring States, whether
they are weak or strong, but I am fully convinced
that ho will not, so far as he can prevent it, allow
these small States and Confederacies, moved, as
they have been heretofore, by petty jealousies, if
not by baser moans, to throw themselves into the
power of foreign and distant nations, to bo used as
sentinels, surrounding us to watch us and to stand
as bars to our trade and the fro communteatioa
between the various sections of the Union.
Tho telegraph from St. Louis, under date of 7th
inst , that the United States troops under Col.
Cook had boon defeated with great loss, has area.
tad some excitement here. The War Department
have not received a word confirmatory of the re
port, and are therefore inclined to believe in its
untruth.
It will be remembered that by the last steamer
from California, a rumor reached us from Oregon
to the effect that over one hundred of the United
States force had been massacred by the Mormons.
The time and place of both rumors are the same,
and the probability is that the St. Louis rumor is
only the California rumor which is returning to us
from the West.
During the present threa•days recces a largo
number of members of the Douse are preparing
themselves to speak to the Nicaragua question. It
is evident, from what I can see and learn, that
there will be a full and animated debate next week
on Central American affairs, perhaps more full
than ever before.
ARE WE OUT OF THE PARTY
[For The l'rese.l
Mn. Enixon : When the President's annual
message was read Mr. Douglas rose and in respect
ful terms dissented from a portion of it relating to
Kansas. I say his language woo respectful, for the
only words aver objected to were those in which he
expressed hie opinion that the President had fallen
into a fundamental error. For that dissent Mr.
Douglas was at once charged, in the Senate end
elsewhere, with having spoken hastily and with.
out occasion, end with being the wanton assailer
of the President, a deserter from the party.
Those, too, who agreed with him were branded
as traitors, spies in the camp, and Black Republi
cans. On the oth inst. the President sent to the
Senate certain documents, with a abort message
respecting ono William Walker. No sooner had
it been read , and before the documents had even
been seen, than ho was bitterly attacked by his
former supporters, whe have at least the merit of
consistency, for in the first ease they sought to
excuse or cover up a fraud and the violation of a
principle of the party, and In the latter they abso
lutely justified the violation of laws both human
and divine. Mr. Toombs said the President dared
not justify what he strove to palliate. He charged
the President with winking at the broach of law,
and even violating his oath of office.
Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, said he had violated
tho act of Congress, the Constitution, and the law
of nations; and from all, the president watt de
fended by Mr Seward of Now York Where,
lot sue ask, were the accusers of Mr. Douglas
Whore were, then, the Senators who had rend him
out of the party ? They were client—not ono of
them spoke for the party or the Administration.
Are Messrs. Toombs, and Brown, and Davis, and
their Southern colleagues, to be now rend out of
the party, and is Mr. Seward to bb received into
it? la dissent from the President to be a party
test ? or are we who agreed with Mr. Douglas to
be suffered to remain in the party ? We denounce
fraud and foul play in Kansas, audio'. WO 050 TOAII
out of the pasty by certain Senators. They now
attack the President, charge him with a violation
of all low, and—they era to remain in the party.
There is no notice to quit served on them. They
are but dissenters—not as we are, constitutional
heretics. Thin is note difference bo•wixt tweedle.
dum and iweedle-deo, but a difference between
North and South. The latter may. bnt the former,
it seems, dare not dissent without being un
churched.
Commend this debate to the mon who have hi
therto denounced their equals in the Dowooratio
party. I cannot, however, but express my strong
approbation of the late message of the President.
It is, in Day opinion, equal to any such paper since
the days of Washington ; and the President may
be assured, that of the thousands who respectfully
dissent from some of his views about Kansas, there
will not be ono but will heartily sustain his noble
and statesmanlike course in reference to Gen.
Walker and his lawless course. J.

The failure of some of the County Treasurers to
pay over the State tax promptly, says the Comp
troller, causes much embarrassment,rind be re
commends the amendment of the present law so as
to require, whenever any part of a State tax shall
remain unpaid by any County Treasurer on the
let day of May, in each year, that such Treasurer
shall transmit to the Comptroller a statement,
under oath, setting forth the reasons why such
tax has not boon paid.
And if such statement shall neelatiffy the
Comptroller that such Treasurer has not received
the tax, and has taken all proper steps to collect
the same, it shall then be the duty of the Comp
troller, without delay, to deliver a copy of such
County Treasurer's account to the Attorney Gene
ral, who shall prosecute the same forthwith.
The amount received from the canal fund is
$202,500, leaving 887,600 unpaid at the end of the

The attention of the Legislature Is therefore
directed to the necessity of providing for the pay•
ment of the existing deficiency, and the interest
on the debt for the year ending on the 30th of Sep
tember next, and also for the contingency of a
failure in the canal revenues to pay the 8:150,000
during the fiscal year, commencing Ist of October,
1858.
It is respectfully suggested, for the considera
tion of the Legislature, that a sum in each of the
years 1858 a d 1859, sufficient to meet the demands
upon the 'sinking fund, shall be placed to the
credit of said fund from the income of the State
tax.

EXECUTION OF JAS, P. DONNELLY
INTENSE EXCITEMENT AT FREEIIOLP, N. J.
Speech of the Condemned,
HS DYINO PROTEBTATIONA O INNOCENCE
Reported for The Tress by our coo It.porterJ
Wo have witnessed but one oxeoutlon of the
oath ponnlty In Now Jersey, and we trust that
it may be the last that wo shall over see, in that
State or elsewhere. We loft the city yesterday,
at an early hour, for the purpose of obtaining
an account of the execution of JAMS P.
Donnelly, who, it will be remembered by
our readers, was convicted of murdering
Albert S. Moses, at the Sea View House, New
Jersey. We arrived at Freehold at a seasonable
hour, and found the place in a state of the most in:
tense excitement. Donnelly is a ~o ltnik man, be
longing to Washington, D. C. about twenty-four
years of ago, and oAoupled a very respectable posi
tion in soeloty previous to the unfortunate occur
rence for %%ditch ho was doomed to die. Dirty In
July last, Donnelly, who hail been studying medi
eine, and was, as ho says, worn down by long-con
tinued application to his profession, desired to re-
I emit hisatrength in the least expensive manner; so
he engaged with Mr. Wm. W. Smith, the proprie
tor of the Sea View House, as clerk and bask-keeper
for the summer season. Four or five days be
fore the end of the month, Albert Moses was
engaged at the earns house as barkeeper. Be
tween Donnelly and Hoses an lending , sprang up,
end on the night of thu last or July they sat up
nearly till night ',laying cards. It is supposed
that they had boon gambling together before, and
that Donnelly had lost largely. A portion of the
money which he lost at play was no doubt bor
rowed from the funds of the proprietor of the
hotel. A Spanish gentleman, ono of the boarders,
on the llst of July entrusted one hundred dollars
. .
in gold with Donnelly, to be placed in the eafo.
Donnelly took this money, hoping to win back
what he bed lost, and thereby saVo his credit, and
played with Moses all night, rising at three or
four o'clock on Saturday morning a loser to the
amount of fittpllve dollars. This sum, elided. to
his previous losses at play with Mesas, caused a
serious deficit in his accounts
It was alleged in rho trial of Donnelly that na it
was customary for his employer to demand a ba
lance sheet at the and of every week, he being
driven to desperation by the fears of exposure and
disgrace, resolVed to repossess hituself the money
which Aloses had won. With this object in view,
about 5 o'clock itt the Morning, ho went to the bar
keeper's note, and finding him asleep as he ex
pected, endeavored to pos , :ess himself of the money,
which Moses had kept between his bed and the
mattress. He succeeded In getting a roll of hills,
but In doing so atioke Moses. A strug,lll3 ensued,
when Donnelly stabbed him in the neck, the knife
passing out at the other bide.
lie then ran out, (+toeing thy door after him, but
was closely followed by Moses, crying `• murder
at the top of his Voice. Donnelly ran on, until lie
was stopped by Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the
houBe, who asked him what was the matter. Don
nelly, who was very much exalted, did not answer
for some moments, but finally replied, he's dead!
Ilea dead!" Smith asked who was dead, when
Donnelly replied that he did not know. Subse
quently Donnelly went to his room and changed
his clothes, then wont to the water-closet, and
afterward was observed running rapidly across
the fields, acting like one demented.
Moses, with his dying breath, Charged Donnelly
' 1 with his murder, and that fact, taken in conneo
, lion with the gam ' tiling, the money taken from the
safe, the finding of SI6O in torn bills in the water •
closet, the change of dress,his wild demeanor,
and the blood on the sill of ds bedroom door, con•
!diluted the principal evidence against the prisoner.
He hail a most impartial trial, before a 31 , 11)111111th
county jury, and was found guilty of the high
crime of murder. His counsel carried his case to
the Supreme Court end the Court of Errors, in
order to obtain a new ti ial ; bat, f. , iling On both
instances, appealed to the Court of Pardons That
tribunal, after duly examining the case. refused
to Interfere.
The eoolal position of the prisoner enabled him
to appeal to and secure the influence of numerous
powerful friends in New York and Washington,
who labored indefatigablY In his behalf. Their
offorLs, seconded by the sympathy and support of
many influential journals, availed not, and yes•
ter,lay he was hung as the most common felon For
some days past he was buoyed up by the prospect
of escape, and did actually break jail on Sunday
night last. Hose be managed it is tt mystery, aWe
the keepers sat in a room adjoining the prison,
end overlooking the cell.
Donnelly having previously sawed asunder the
chain which boom! him to his cell door, and cat
the links which confined his feet, actually walked
out of his cell across the large work coons on which
it opened, and unfastening an iron door opposite,
got into the court-yard, and by the assistance of a
plank climbed to the tim of the exterior wall.
While on the wall his escape was discovered, and
he was co frightened that in lotting himself down
he fell upon his back, injuring hiinself severely.
A largo dog attacked him 113 he fell, biting him
in the hand, but he seized him by limo le gs an d
dashed him against the wall.
As soon as his C 30•1110 was discovered a pursuit
commenced. Donnelly said ho laid under the
walls, unable to stir for tome time, while the bells
rang and officers and citizens were scorching for
him, but they slid not discover him. A carnage
was to have been in wailing to convey him to tho
shore, in the vicinity of Koypnrt, where he was to
have been put on board u vessel theme in readiness
to receive him. Saturday night was the lime fixed
for the escape, but be could not get out, and on
Sunday night the carriage was not there. As soma
as ho was able he Pet nut toward Keyport. hoping
to reach the appointed place on foot. lie main
found, however, that his long confinement and the
fall hail left him very weak, and ho made but
slow progress,
For a while he let% the highway and travelled
through the fields, but toward morning he ngain
took to the road. Messrs. Lamberson and Charles
O ...by had drlss,o o,e, w irdy port, observed
a schooner standing MT and on, from which they
surmised that oho was waiting for Donnelly. They
at once retraced their stuns, and mot hint, between
4 and 5 o'clock in the morning, walking along be
hind a wagon laden with pork. Ono of them
jumped down, and, drawing a pistol, ordered him
to sum tender.

Ile complied, and was taken back. On arriving
at the jail he told several persons that he was glad
ho won ones inure in jail. His escape caused great
excitement, and it appeared to be the general wish
that ho might not be retaken. Subsequently the
sheriff received several anonymous lettei s, inform
ing him that an attempt would be made to rescue
Donnelly by force. To guard against this, he
called upon the Monmouth Blues, Capt. Patterson,
and the Monmouth Guards, Capt. Conine, to pro
tect the jail. When the prisoner was apprized of
the precautions which had been taken, he seemcd
to be very much affected.
On reaching the Freehold jail yesterday, we re
ceis ed, after an Introduction t o Sa mue l C o n over ,
sheriff of the place, a permit to visit the jail and
witness the execution. The jail was burroun.led
by the Monmouth Gnarls, Captain Conine, num•
boring thirty-two men, the Monmouth Blues, Capt.
Patterson, numbering forty nice, and the Ocean
Rine Guards, Captain Drown, numbering thirty
teen. We should judge that there were between
three and four thousand persons in the vicinity of
the prison, all anxious to gain admittance
The surrounding house-tops were crowded to
their utmost capacity, while the trees contained a
large number of spectators, all anxious to witness
the finale vf a ease that has occupied the attention
of the people of that place for 11A110 limo NO.
The taverns in the neighborhood were constantly
thronged throughout the day, and an intense ex
citement existed, which has, we think, never been
equalled in that section of the country.
The last execution of the death sentence for sour
tier in Monmouth county took place about seven
years ago, upon John Kline, inn yard which Was
then on the southwotern part of the jail of Free
hold. It vans witnessed by persons who came front
far and near, and was the general theme of con
versation in that vicinity for several Months.
The yard in which the execution of yesterday
took place is on the north side of the jail, about
fifty or sixty feet long and fifteen wide, used us a
hold for coal and wood, and surrounded by a wall
about twelve feet high. The gallows usod was
erected by Mr. Joh n Doty, and was about fourteen
feet in height.
Donnelly elept, none on Thursday night, but
passed the whole time in conversation pith his
friends and in religious exercises. llis fare and
eyes were en expression which evidently indicated
much mental anxiety, although his deportment
was that of a !non who know his fate, and who was
determined to meet it like a man. At six o'clock
yesterday morning he fell into a gentle :dumber,
which continued about two hours. On awakening
ho dressed with much care, after which ho partici•
Anted with great fervor in religious exerci•es un
der the direction of, and In companionship w
his spiritual advisers.
The Rev. Dr. Cummings, at half-past eight
o'clock, entered into an earnest conversation with
Donnelly, relative to the commuelon service which
he was about to administer to hint. Ile stated to
Gm unfortunate prisoner that if he bad any feelings
of enmity or malice against any soul to the uni
verse, he must instantly dismiss them before his
participation in the communion service Other
remarks wore muds by the reverend gentlemen.
which affected Donnelly to Pull an extent that he
was momentarily unable to articulate his avowal of
free and full forgiveness to all who had sought to
injure him, by misrepresentation or °Owns isc
Tho religious exorcises were again renewed with
considerable zeal, dining which Donnelly partook
of eommunion. Earnest preyers were offered by
ell who were present to the Throne of tiraco for
divine intorcossion in behalf of the condemned
one, while he inaudibly joined in the devotion.
After this Ito conversed with his friends, who u Ora
snooping around hint, in the most tender tones of
consolation, and imparted to each ono an affec
tionate kiss.'
At thin point he narrated to ono of the clergy
men about him a circumstance which he stated
occurred in his cell about fear o'clock in the morn
hog. A candle, he said, and in an earnest manner.
had boon brought to him by his friend Mr. Russell.
The candle was an ordinary one, he thought, when
he first viewed it, but after notching it for a few
moments, he noticed that it began to expand
gradually until it assumed a shape touch larger
than usual. "In the midst of the flame," wild he,
"I saw a bleeding heart. Thin may or may not
have been a mere delusion, but since I saw It, I
feel happy, very happy." Tho recital of theme
north seemed to imbue him with a now ener
gy, and a pleasant smile rested upon his comae•
canoe as ho reiterated his expresdon : "I feel
happy, very happy now
Donnelly then paced the lower floor of the jail
for souse moments In deep thought.
Mr. A. It. Throokmorton took from the prisoner
its the morning his affidavit that neither Mr. Van
Doren, the jailer, or his wife, trod any knowledge
of his escape from prison, and that they were un
justly charged with complicity in aiding hint to
leave theprison.
At half past eleven o'clock ho took a small
quantity of brandy. Ito took trout his pocket
several letters, which were directed in en
velopes, and gave them to Messrs. Newton and
COZZOW , , ItIVO of his friends. To the latter he
said, as he handed him a letter, "(live that to
her upon your arrival at Washington."
The sheriff, Mr. Conover, then desired to put the
noose upon Donnelly's neck, who earnestly begged
him not to do co, as he would like to indicate him
self the exact moment when he desired it to be
placed upon him. Through the entreaties of the
friends of Donnelly, the sheriff was dissuaded from
his purpose. It is said that Donnelly took a par
tietdar dislike to Mr. Conover, because ho refused
him on several occasions pen. ink, and paper, and
spoke to him in very harsh language. ft in stated
that when Donnelly IVO returned to the prison,
after his escape, the sheriff said to him that ho
would rather lose a thousand dollars than have
him escape. This wounded the feelings of the
prisoner to a great extent.
At this time Donnelly took a bowl of coffee and
a glass of brandy, after which he wrote a brief
lettzr to IL distant friend, Mr. Muhean, one of his
counsel on the trial, netted hint whether he had
prepared anything to Say on the scaffold. Ho re
plted that '4ltat ho would there state would bo his
dying deelaratio», mods without any previous
preparatioll,
HO than directed his old coat to be given to his
brother-in-law, who was standing by him. The pri•
senor, evincing much emotion, went frorn cell to cell
and bade all the prisoners an affectionate farewell.
Ile shook there all by the hands, and urged theul
all to prepare for death, tut they "were but it
step comer ed from him." Otte aged negro sobbed
bitterly as Donnelly turned sway front him, after
a cordial shake of the band, and could not be in
duced to cease his luu•entation. We have never
witnessed a more truly affecting scene than that
presented at this parting interview. Donnelly and
Ins friends then knelt down and joined in an ear
nest prayer. Tho mournful proccstion to the scaf
fold was time formed, and reached it exactly at
12 n'olock. The jail-yard had about one hundred
Persons in it nt this time.
While standing under the gallows, the demeanor
of Donnelly woe that of an intrepid man, who
seemed to realize but did not falter at the terrible
position in which he was placed.
Prayers were again offered, in which lie fer
ventlyjuined. On the conclusion of the religious
exercises, he turned to address the assemblage,
with a most beautiful smile resting upon his every
feature. Our space to-day will not allow us to
give even a hrief synopsis of what wo consider the
most elaborate and eloquent speech that was ever
dulivoted under such appalling e'reumstonces.
lie referred feelingly to the death he was about
to buffer for a crime of which ho was wholly inno
cent. Ile thaniced his old schoolmates and friends
who had gathered about him in his last hour, and
prayed that every blessi❑ of God might attend
them through life. In alluding to his trial, and
the circumstances which it developed, he said :

PEILIDELPHIA, Jan 8, IRSB
Private letters written at Lyons and other places
in Prance, represent great alarm as existing in the
minds of tho manufacturers of Europe, in conse-
quenee of the extravagant and libellous statements
made by the New York Hemld, respecting the
practical erects of the Ananeial revulsion upon the
engagements of our importing merchants That
journal has steadily preached up the doctrine that
all our old debts to foreign manufacturers have
been wiped out al filth a Si:Cage, end that there
will bo nothing to pay to Europe until new ba
lances are created against us, on our future trade
with other countries.
It has represented the old order of business as
entirely obliterated, and taught that the people of
Europe could look for payments only to new cre
dits, new trade, and new concerns. It asserted
that the Manchester rnanufacturers would not only
not be paid for the great quantities of goods they
bad sent to America, but that they would have to
send gold hhrt befoie they would receive the raw
material they might need for future consump
tion.
In this country, the peculiar course pursued ha ,
the Herald is so perfectly well understood that
other journals rarely turn aside to controvert its
statements, or discuss its opinions. In fact, if a
littlo time bo allowed it, the probabilities era
very strong that it will controvert its own theories,
show the falsity of its own statements, and supply
the andidote to its own poisons. In Ettrope, how-
Oldr, the recklesness and viscillations of the
//mad cannot be so well understood, and its arti
cles are seen principally through the mediums of
quotations into other journals, or in isolated cDpies

toter, who knows nothing of the character of the
papor, a terrifying idea of our morals as men,

when a newspaper openly proclaims such things,
we must live under a Government which not only
foils to suppress, but encourages villainy, and he
forms a resolution to hold no further intercourse
with such a people.
The dealer who next comes to him from Atneri,:a

raised from the seeds of prejudice, by the foreign
agents already far too plentiful in our midst.
It is tinder favor of such misrepresentations as
these, that the basiness of the agents for the sale
of foreign manufactures has grown to such an ea
tent in this country, to the 'went of adventurers
who have neither part nor lot in our land. and to
