Henry S. Eans, of Chester county
has been named as an Opposition candi
date for Governor, ne is well and lvor
ably known a tbe editor of that popuiar
journal, the Village Record, puMx.-hed at
West Chester. Mr. Evans represented
"Chester County for several years in our
House of Representatives, and for three
years servod the Commonwealth in tbe
Senate with more than ordinary ability.
jg-The Charlestown Mercury very
frankly says: "The Democratic party
must be a Southern parly or no party.
It cannot servo slaveholders and also
freesoilers with their Brrogant and ruin
ous pretcnsioDS.''
This is trufl enough. The democratic
party is not only a sectional party, but it
is a political organization which fratern
izes with disunioni-ts. No other party is
so dixloyal to tbe Constitution and to the
Federal Compact, as that which calls it
self Democratic.

Ftance in the United States of au execu

last. Yet we have sad misgivings that
the tallows will claim a numerous array
of victims, if suudry hot-heads in the
South who are preaching treason to the
Union, do not pause and resolve to retrace
thi'ir headlong ops. The great North
and West do cot iutend to let the South
peacefully recede from the Union. If she
attempt it, they will compel her to return
to her allegiance; and the leaders m th
rebellion against the integrity of the Con
federacy, will be very lucky, if they are
uot iocontinently "hung as hiu as tla
man." Let all concerned heed the war

that they had' been to work a whole week
in making the aperture in the wall.
I heir cell being on the first floor, tbe
aperture was not more than five feet above
the pavement of tbe yard, and, when freed
of their shackles, their access to the yard
was quite easy. Here, however, there
was c smooth brick wall about fifteen feet
high to scale. This difficulty was, bow-
ever, eoon overcome, witu tue aid ot the
timbers of the scaffold on which Captain
Brown was hung, and which were intend
ed also for their own execution. Tbey
placed these against the wall, and soon
succeeded in reaching the top, from which
they could have easily dropped to the
other side, had not tbe vigilance of the
sentinel on duty so quickly checked their
movements. Thoy were arrested in the
jail yard by Gen. Taliaferro and the offi
cer of the day, who rushed to the jail the
moment tbe alarm was given. General
Taliaferro immediately telegraphed to
Gov. Wife, informing him of tho frustra
ted attempt of the prisoners. His answer
directed that the military should imme
diately take possession of the interior of
the jail and guard the prisoners until they
were executed.
Execution of Copeland and Green.
At 10j o'clock Gen. Taliaferro, with
bis staff, numbering about 25 officers,
having given orders to prepare the two
negro prisoners, Shilds Green and John
Copeland, for execution, took their de
parture to join the main body of the troops
on the field.
Tbe military then formed in a hollow
square around the jail, and an open wag
on, containing the coffins of the prisoners,
drew up in front, with a carriage to coo
vey Sheriff Campbell and bis Deputies.
lbe crowd ot citizens and strangers
was very great at least five times as nu
merous as on the occasion of Brown's ex
ecution most of whom wcro already on
the field, while others wanted to see the
prisoners come out.
The religious ceremonies in tho cell of
the prisoner were very impressive, and
were conducted by the Rev. Mr. North of
the Presbyterian, and tho Key. Henry
Waugh of tbe M. E. Church.
At a quarter before 11 o'clock tbe pris
oners, accompained by tho Sheriff and
Rev. Mr. North, appeared at the jail ddor,
and with their arms pinioned moved slow

for tbem. 1 bey seemed downcast and

wagon and took their seats on their cof-
Gns without scarcely looking to the right
or left. Tbe escort now commenced to
move, and the wagon was closely flanked
on either side by a company of riflemen
marohing in double file lock step.
At seven minutes before 11 o'clook tbe
procession entered tho field occupied by
the military, and tbe prisoners oast
shuddering glance toward tbe gallows e-
rected on tbe rising ground ib its center.
In two minutes more the wagon stopped
at the foot of the gallows, and while the
prisoners were alighting the companies

A Miser.
Michael Baird, (or Boar, as he wa5-
.-ometimes called.) who lived near littlf
York, Pennsylvania, was a miserable mi-
ser. ( Li is tathor lult a vaiuaoie larm oi
of five hundred acres in the vicinity of
York, with some farming and household
urtiales.) He kept a tavern for a num
ber of years married and raised four
children. He-accumulated an immense
estate, which he reserved so tenaciously,
tbat he never afforded a dollar, for the
education of his children. He was nover
known to lay out oue dollar in cash, for
any article ho might b in want of; He
would either do without it, or find some
person who would barter with him, for
something he oould not conveniently sell
for the money. He farmed largely and
kept a large distillery, which he supplied
entirely with bis own grain. He kept a
team for conveyance of his whisky and
flour to Baltimore, where, when he could
not sell for money at a price to nuit him,
he bartered for necessaries for his family
and tavern.
In this way he amassed an estate, worth
four hundred thousand dollars'. Such
was his attachment to money, that he
was never known to credit a single dollar
to any man. Upon tbo best mortgage or
other security tbat could bo given, he
woold not lend a cent. Ho never vested
ono.dollar, in public funds, neither would
he keep tho notes of any bank, longer than
he could get them changed. He deposit
ed his specie in a large iron cues., until
it would hold no more. Ho then provided
a strong iron hooped barrel, which be al
so filled. After his death, his strong box
es yielded two hundred and thirty thous
and dollars in gold and silver.
The cause of his death, was as remar
kable na tbe course of his life. A gentle
man from Virginia, offerod him twelve
dollars a. bushel, for one. hundred and ton
bushels of clover seed; but ho would not
sell it for less than thirteen dollars, and
they did not agree. Tbe seed was after
wards sent to Philadelphia, where it was
sold for seven dollars per bushol; and
brought in the whole, five hundred and
fifty dollars less than tho Virginian had
offered for it. Un receiving an account
of the sale, he walked through hia farm,
went to his distillery, and gave directions
to his people. He then went to bis wag
ou hou'-c and hanged himself. Belmont
