He went back and looked upou the gore and margled bodies of his wife and children, calmly, deliberately and without a sign of the least emotion. He then talked & hat continued ever since to talk about the matter when interrogated, without the least hesitancy or compunction. He thu talked about the matter but a day or so before the trial in the presence of physicians who know him and bad attended him when he was acknowledged insane, but who declare they think him sane at this last interview. Such i we believe an accurate state Oient of this most bloody, inhuman and unprecedented case, as we understood the testimony detailed upon the trial. Much given in evidence is of necessity omitted but the view presented is so far as we are able to give it, a fair one. Much excitement has prevailed for miles aiouod the scene ot this horrid transaction. 1 tie jury which tried the case was probably as intelligent and respectable an one as could have neen had in the county. Their verdict and the judgement of the court seems to have satisfied the country all the circumstances being considered. Nearly all however, who know any thing about the case, legard it as incmnprehen ibly m steriou. Many who know the most about it, say Ihey hardly know what to think of it ' It is doubted whether the annals of crime can produce a parallel etie, aod ilis devoutly hoped they neer may ! GA25ETT1E.

He was also in other ways hydrophobiacal upon all the officers of the establishment in a mass. Now this touched the gtillant Colonel Lank a few, who has a son in the army you know. 11 was heard of here I a I

Abijah is a terrible economist, it must he allowed. Mr. Lane also vindicated the officers of the army from (be rude attack of Mr. Mann, and set down in great wrath. Au'Jaii lifted up bis great round body. and remarked that in any allusions lie had made, he did not intend to reler to .jentleman's distinguished son The Colonel said that tus distinguished on was at Host on; and had never been here, except w ben on duty. and here sat down, but a bright thought striking him up he sprung again, and added, "ready sir, then, and ready now, sir, to defend himself against that gentleman, or against any other cowardly attacks!''

Maine Whig .State Convention. Hon. O TIS LITTLE, Hancock. LORENZO S AR INK, Esq. Washington. The follow ing resolutions, among others, were adopted by the Convention: Resolved, That the majority of the U. Slates Senate, in their successful resist ance of executive subserviency, are deserving of the lasting gratitude of every American citizen, and have inscribed their names upon a page ol American history, where they cannot be expunged by the resolutions of mercenary partisans, nor defaced by the black hues of parly discipline. Resolved, That the design of Andiew Jackson to impose upon the People a successor, and such a successor as Martin Van 1'iuren, is an attempt to degrade the American Republic bulow an hereditary fn.iiin rr ti v tthprp rhanrp mav sometimes -t l-i nroduce a monarch who is worthy of the throne, and give to the peo pie a father iu the person of their sot ereign.

We yesterday- gave an interesting sketch, from a Washington Correspondent, of the proceedings of the House of Representatives on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Our readers may

judge of the excitement and despera tion which ensled with those wno were endeavoring to perpetrate an act of injustice and iniipnU, from the fact that Mr. Rynum had the audacity to threaten the use of military tone against the minority. The epithet used by Mr. Wise was nut misapplied to the man who would dare to use such a threat and the contemptible wietch, lor presuming to intimate that the military should be called in, deserved, and would have received, from an honest House ol Representatives, an immediate vote ol .expulsion. The times, foietold by the prophet Benton, have indeed, arrived land representatives, who would tie lrm,Mrnm nnIrair legislate . as he predicted, "with pit"ls in their belts And in what is all this violence to result.' It requires not the prophetic eye ot Uen. ton to foretell. Unless there be virtue enough in the people to check this career of madness, and to expell Irom the councils of the country the cringing slaves who are sapping the foundations of liberty, the union cannot continue . It cannot be tolerated by an intelligent or a virtuous people, that representatives shall be threatened with the chastisement of military power. The spiiit ol the people, without distinction of party , will revolt at the intio.a'ion, at the Robespierrean disposition which made it. with loalhing and abhorrence. Mr. Rynum may yet discover that the people of this country are not prepared to submit to military despotism, however some of their reptesen. tatives may require its use to sustain their own insignificance And who is iW r num, tint he should assume to bftck his opinions by military loice? A traitor to southern feelings and to southern inter- .. ,.,, i'nmrvrnnhant.whos o - nes in the badge of his degradation a soulless anatoma, who would prostrate the flag of his country in the du-t, for an additional umile from his superior.
