LAWRENCEBURGH.

SATURDAY, OCT. 17, 1829.

The river still continues in fine stage for navigation. Within a few days it has risen several feet. Sickness.—Accounts from New Orleans, Natchez, and the towns low on the

Mississippi, represent the inhabitants as suffering dreadfully. The yellow fever has made its appearance in several places heretofore considered healthy, and without its baleful influence. Our citizens have great reason to thank an indulgent providence, that while others, in different parts of the country, are suffering all the horrors of disease, they arc enjoying ihe blessing of uninterrupted health.

A Pennsylvania paper cautions the public against counterfeit half dimes. It would do one's eyes good to see a worthless imitation in this part of the country.

Another bank broke. The Westmoreland bank of Pennsylvania stopped payment on the 5th inst. TheGreensburgh Republican supposes that it will be able on winding up, to redeem its paper. Circuit Court. The circuit court for this county adjourned on Thursday last. During the session,which lasted 10 days, few cases of much importance were acted on. ,

execution. The nrisoner was pale, but

did not seem to be much agitated. He moved with a firm and steady step to the gallows, where, for the first time, he was observed to tremble. This sensation coniioued but for a moment. Mr. Beall the sheriff handed him a chair and a staff he sat dowD until the religious exercise commenced, when he arose and commenced singing with the clergyman,

in a clear voice, and without any kind of

tremor that could be observed by those who were stationed at a short distance

from the gallows. When the clergy

man addressed the Throne of Grace, the prisoner sunk to his knees, and remain

ed in that position until they concluded.

During the timf the preparations were

making for the execution, and until the

cap was drawn over hi eyes he did no' seem to be seriou.-ly affected. In attempting to let down the platform an accident occured, which occasioned some detention, and a momentary bensaiien among the people. Mr. Beall, the shtriff, who personal! attended to the execution, succeeded in removii g the ditliculty the platform ft II, and two or three shrugs of the shoulders, were the last exertions of a cool, deliberate, and most cruel murderer. After hanging for one hour and fifteen minute?, the body was taken down and removed to u

place near Cresaptowu the properly of

bweariLgen, and interred by his brother. The distance from the prison to the place of execution is little short of half a mile. The number of souls present w as estimated at about five thousand. Swearingen solicited permission to have his body buried along side that of his wife, which, however, was very properly re

jected, lie also made a confession, in

which he stated that his paramour, Rachel Cunningham, had no participation in the murder, nor did she even know that he contemplated perpetrating so horrid a deed. Sweaiingon was about twenty eight years of age. Wcstmorcland Republican.

Flour. Our market has been but scantly supplied with flour for some time past.—In fact the greater part used has been purchased at Cincinnati and sold

here at an advance. Our farmers, who!

have wheat on hand, would find it to their -advantage to embrace the present demand, if they wish to sell at home at a fair price.

Maine. The election in this state for Governor was very warmly contested by the administration and anti-administration parties. J. G. Huntoon is believed elected, by a small majority, over S. E. Smith, the Jackson candidate. This tells well coming from New England, where Jackson had but one electoral vote for president. The Post Office. Wc publish to-day a

letter from the late assistant post master

general to Mr. Barry, hinting at & threat ening wonderful disclosures of mal-ad

ministration in the General Post Office.

This is no more than was expected when Mr. Bradley was removed. He feels hunt at being dismissed from a post he has held a long time, and seems disposed to vent his chagrin in no very pleasant terms. A short time will test the truth; upon which, we feel assured, the president will decide with justice to the accuser and accused.

Poscript. The ship Robert Edwards, captain Killburne, which arrived last evening from London, left Dartmouth the 29;h ult. We are informed by a passenger, L. Purdy, Esq. that he saw, in the Reading Room at Dartmouth, a bulletin issued from the London Royal Exchange, dated the 2Gih, which stated that the Russians had entered Constantinople. Ttie news was generally believ

ed at Dartmouth, aid is rendered hinh-

ly probable from the position of the Rus-

sian army at me uate ot tne last ac

counts. 1 he same intelligence, as an-

pears from a Havre letter of Aug. 26lb,

was received at Paris on the 2dih. We are of opinion, therefore, that it may be relied on with a good degree ol confidence. If so, it seldom falls to the lot of a public j- -tirnnlists to record a more important e.vent. Constantinople was captured by the Turks ou the 29th of May, 1453; and has ever since been the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and the seat of oppression in the east. Its population is estimated at G or 700,000 souls, and its situation on the Bosphurus gives it a perfect command of the commerce of the Black Sa. But we need not enlarge it is enough if Constantino

ple has fallen; and the banner of the!

Women which filled it.—There were

comparatively but few women. About a quarter before eight o'clock, a carriage entered Library street from Fifth, and drove directly opposite to, and within about four yards of the entrance ol the Military Hall. The lower sashes of the windows of

the long room, which is one story high, had been taken out and they were

crowded with people. The carriage re

mained a few minutes, and it appeared to us that efforts were made to enable the persons in the carriage to get into the Hall. The pressure of the crowd however was said to be too great. The light of the moon obscured bv clouds, at

this time, shone but faintly. There was as little noise as could reasonably be

expected in such a crowd. It appeared to us that there was every disposition in the people to make way, and that those in the carriage without much struggle or ii convenience could have passed to the Hall. It was therefore with some

surprise that we saw about two thirds of

a leroale figure protude itself from the carriage window to the north, the side most distant from the Hall, but where much the greater portion of the people were, and presently our ears recognised the clear and distinct voice ol Miss Wright. Silence was commanded and

obtained, and she thus addressed the

crowd.

'In obedience to the wishes of the

people I am here, according to my promise, to deliver d lecture on their rights and duties. It appears to me impossible to gain entrance to the Hall, or to deliver any lecture to night, except in the open air; to this my hugsure unequal, and J mu.-l decline it. 1 expect the peo

ple will procure a room in the course of qualities which strongly endeared him

the week in which I may lecture. From the difficult experienced by the people in procuring a room on this occasion, 1 would draw this moral, which I hope will sink deep into their minds it is absolutely necessary that the People should

have a Hall of their own, for the use of

public Lectures, from which they could not be excluded either by the Clergy or the Aristocracy." She now withdrew into the carriage, some cheers and huzzas were put forth, the carriage drove off, the crowd dispt-r sed, and thus quietly ended an atfair which had excited fears in the bosoms of many who are neither ot "the Ckrgy nor the Aristocracy." We give tin; facts with all fidelity and make no comment. The Ohio and Indiana papers have lately been engaged in urging the propriety of banishing free people ol colour

(i on those States. The) begin to feel

that the accumulation ol that description of population wiihiu their limits is highly injurious. We have entertained the opinien for some years that the present state of things would inevitably occur. While an unworthy (but small) portion otitic citizens of those Stales, were disposed to encourage, not only the emigra

tion of free colored persons, but thai of

the slaves ol other States, we felt convinced that the day could not be far die taiit when such conduct would be reprobated by men of reputation and intelligence. We all acknowledge that slavery is an evil ; but it does not seem to have boon heretofore geneially understood,

that she would hold forth, in the Wal

The Grand Saloon at Washinghton Hall was next selected for the place of lecture. This was also refused. Last of all the Military Hall was appointed. But this appointmtnt also failed. Grat apprehensions were entertained that her lectures might occasion a breach of the peace: and fox thrse apprehensions there appears to have been some foundation. The following particulars are copied from the Democratic Press of September 14. Cin, Gaz.

Miss WrishC$ Lecture. The friends of

Miss Wright having ascertained that she would not be allowed to Lecture on Sunday evening in the Walnut street Theatre, made an engagement fr the Grand Saloon at the Washington Hall. This was announced by posting very large bills in which it was slated that the Lecture would commence at 8 o'clock,ou

Circumstances whioh naturally lead to a constant state of watchfulness and suspicion of contention and ill blood render the slave holder more inflexible and obdurate while thev serve to injure the character and paralyze the exertions of those who are the sincere advocates of emancipation.
