Now that the election is,ovor and our eiti zons have quietly settled dow)i to the result, we wish to call attention to the fact that the Council Proceeding:l,ot the past year have not Keen published in a way calculated to inform (ho great body of 'tax-payers as to what was going on in Council, We look at this ques tion from this stand-point. The Council Pr?- euedisigs are required by law to be published. Should not those proceedings be given to the public in the papers having the largest eircula• tion in this city? Will any business man claim that these proceedings should be p u b. fished in a paper having thd stualleit eircula lion? ‘‘IOI these questions before ut, %Ant would n fair business man do? IV° answer that he would have those proceedings published in the political papers of either party, provided that no Neutral paper had a circulation larger than_ either of the political papers. , In order to solve the question as to whether any Neutral paper in this city lies as large a circulation as the LADLE, the proprietors of the EAo►,a aro willing to compare subscription lists and make affidavits thereto. We claim that our subscription list is more than three, i not four times larger than that of the Neutral paper in this city. `: __No submit that the city printing should be Riven to the Emmy: and Dispatch, because they are papers rend by the great mnjoiity of the tax-payers, both Democrats and Republicans, mums AND BWlLUttililldl: : 4ol./lINAL The Journal of this morning, in its editoria columns, advertises us in a style that paper. Progress is ono of the fundamo tal print plea of the Democratic party, and, when the Editors of the Journal so announee,it, wo eer• wilily can have no objec4na.

Aro you in favor of National Banks ? Are you In favor of paying off the National debt; and if so, how can it be done? Do yon believe the administrations of James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, General Jackson and Thomas Jefferson to have, been advanta• geous 'to the prosperity and growth, of this country ?

LIOTTICIt VI OM IiEN. ItIcOANDLIESS The following letter from Gen. Win. Mc- Candless, whose name is prominently men• tioned in connection with the Gubernatorial nomination, will be of interest to our readers. If other prominent Democrats, in times gone by, had been equally magnanimous, the Democratic party would have been more successful than it has been for some time past : listaitsinui, Fob. Oth, HO. J.

In this contest I am- entirely unselfish, and young enough to be unagnaninious. If ileneral Hancock will agree to accept the nomination of our perky, my first act shall be to decline being a candidate,and ask my friends to wheel into lino and support him. Tho Democratic party should have Icarme \ tl by. the bitter experience of the last foty Vears, that it cannot, in either State orNational .

Thmi surely passes away the barbarism of our century ; and we may justly take credit for our great share ht the glorious work. The first blow on the shackles of the Spanish slaves came from the pikes of old John Brown.—Faller Abraham. As none of John Brown's usdless pikes were ever used to strike a blow at any one, we fail to sea how they could have produced such wondrous results in ,Spain. 'Brown's pikes xvere made for him by . tt swindling Down East Yankee, and as a matter of' course they were entirely worthless, and as great a humbug. as Brown himself. Saints must be-scarce in the Radical party, when they attempt to canonize such a crazy horse-thief and murderer as Old John Brown. • WHY cannot Turkish baths be established in Heading?

TUB EXIIOIITION ON iVIIALEN. Dearing' of the Prisoiser—No Definite Gan tesslou —The tr.z.bibli ion - Public, nun Largely Attended—Tito Affair Passes utl Without a Disturbance..- OTTAWA, Feb. IL—Jame'S Whalen, the al• leged murderer of the lion. Thomas D'Arey McGee, Minister of Agriculture for the slew Government of Canada, was executed upon the gallows this morning at a few minutes past 11 o clock, in the town of Ottawa, Canada. The prisoner had, up to a few days ago.conditet• ed himaelf with great unconcern, and even in dulged in ribaldry and obscene jesting in view of his end. It was thought be indulged hopes, almost to the very last, that he would not be hung. Early in the morning people began to assemble outside the jail, in Stewart street, eager to witness the revolting scene, manifest ing that morbid curiosity which many, both men and women, always exhibit on such oc casions. ' By 10 o'clock the'streets were crowd ed with in heterogerioua mob, told many per sons had perched themselves on the tope of the houses in the vicinityl for the purpo4o of obtaining a better view. The morning was dull and cloudy, with a drifting snow from the east. At 101 j o'clock it was estimated there were at least 7,000 persons in the vicinity. 1 Distuib anee, and an attempt at rescue had been feared, and precautions taken to prevent it. Eyery• thing passed off quietly., _ Inside the jail a select company had been admitted, including Sheriff Powell, Jail Governor Powell, Sheriff Temple, of Frcdericktown, New Brunswick Drs.-Bell, Van Courtlandt, Conover, Sweet land, Mr. ' Frazer, and others. The Sheriff wore his uniform and sword. The guard, in side and out, consisted of regular soldiers. The arrangements for quelling any attempt at rescue were very complete. Various surieWes were freely itirculated in the crowd as to how Whalen would deport himself in the emergen cy. Some said ho had fully made up his mind to confess, while others were sure ho :would implicate some other party, and furnish the public with enother feast of horrors.At was earnestly hoped by the more) thoughtfo and considerate that at least some light_ would be thrown upon the mystery, and that he would tell who had fired the fatal shot, if he did not. At twenty minutes before 11 o'clock the fa vored few were - admitted to the leading-place on the, scaffold. At this moment not an inch of space within view of the scaffold was un occupied. The -suspense was intense. At a few• minutes after 11 o'clock itho door of the corridor opened, and the sblemn voice .of Fathdr O'Connor was heard in earnest prayer for, the domed man. The prisoner . as cended the steps to the scaffold in company with the officials and three Catholic pfiests. Whalen walked firmly and.erect, and seemed but:little moved. lie was dressed in a suit of black, with boots carefully blacked, and his whole toilet made with the utmost care. IL. wore a green silk necktie. Aithe walked up ; ho was repeating in unison with his confessor and spiritual adviser,' "Lord have mercy on us." A death-like stillness reigned through. out the great multitude as -Whalen stepped up- on the drop, and remained firm and upright, almost righl,while the fatal noose was mbusted. The executioner-stood at'his left side, clad in a blue calico jacket and pants, and a red and white striped cap, his face masked with black crape. When the rope was adjusted,. Whalen was asked by the Sheriff if he had anything to say—when he made the following remarks: "I beg pardon for any offence I may kayo committed: I forgive all parties who have in• (jiired le, and I ask forgiveness of all whom I may h ve injured. fled save Ireland, and God save 9 y soul!" The signal was then given and the drop fell at 11. 1 15 A. M., precisely. 'the wife of Whalen visited him yesterday, and was with him up to the lime of his execution. She seemed to have suffered greatly;and• was very bitter toward the is authorities. It reported that Whalen made j a full written statement, which ho gave into the custody of the Sheriff, and which has not yet been made public.-7'rfbune. 1 The Collection of the Whlskey Tax.
