LET FEU FROM MR. VAN 13 U KEN.
Kindcrhook, October 4, 1S41.
Gentlemen: I have had the honor to
receive vour letter invil iiii- nic, in behalf
of the Democracy of Ulster county, to at
tend the Mass Convention to be held at
Kingston on the 17th instant.
Yon cannot, gentlemen, be more deeply
impressed than 1 am by the alarming ten
dency of the acts and designs of the domi-
J nant pirty, as indicated by tho proceed
ings of Congress at the Extra-Session, or
more alive to the importance of a general
and vigorous rally of the Democracy in
defence of the constitutional rights and
best interests of the People. No experi
enced onservercan nave iaiieu to perceive
in those proceedings unerring evidence of
the revival of the old federal spirit, not
only unmitigated, but greatly increased in
bitterness by the restraints under which it
has for so long a period been kept by the
good sense and patriotism of the American
People. Passing by other great enormi
ties there was nothing done or attempted
by the Federalists ol i)8 which was more
hostile to the letter and spirit of the Fed
eral Constitution, more destructive of the
best principles ot. our political system or
capable of exerting a more deleterious in
fluence upon it, & of consequence upon the
liberties of the People, than the Distribu
tion bill of the extra Session.
If, therefore, 1 had no considerations
to respect other than such aa relate to my
own feelings, I would not fail to be in the
n idst of you. and assist in proceedings!,. .. l4 r,, , ft . , ' ., .
r , ; . i i . I 'he thought ol the disgrace she had entailed
from which so much good may be expect
ed. It has, however appeared to me, thai
1 should best consult what is due as well to
the country and its institutions as to the
Democracy of the Uuion, by whose favor
1 was raicd to the office of Chief Magis
trate, when limit my personal age ncy in
the political conflicts of the day to the exer
ciscof the right of suffrage &! he unreserved
expressions of my opinions upon public
questions when the same are invited by
such ofniy fellow citizens as are disposed
to respect them, Having come to this
conclusion upon the most mature consider
ations of many similar applicationsfrom my
political friends, 1 allow-myself to hope
that my failure to be with the Democracy
of the River counties on the 7th instant
will be regarded with the same kind in
dulgence that 1 have so often and so long
received at their hands, and for which I am
most 'grateful.
I thank you, gentlemen, very sincerely
for the friendly spirit which distinguishes
your communication, and the Democracy
of Ulster for the favorable opinion they
have been pleased to form of my public ca
reer. The time can never come when 1
can cease to regard with any other senti
ments than those of profound respect and
lively gratitude, encomiums like those
which you have communicated to me on be
half of a portion of my fellow-citizens so
long and so justly distinguished for steady
perseverance and untiring patriotism.
With great respect, your friend and
ob'd't. servant, M. VAN BUREN.

Oxford Mercury.
Newbern, Nov. 1. The Fall term of
Craven Superior Court closed on Saturday,
his. Honor, Judge Settle, presiding.
There were several cases of interest and
importance, both on the Civil and Slate
dockets. On the latter there was one of a
capital nature, the enormity of which, to
gethvr with the sex of the criminal, excited
a deep and awful sensation in the breast of
the community: it was the case of tin
Slate vs. Katharine Iliil, indicted for thi
murder of Henry Hill, jun'r.
It appeared, from the evidence adduced,
that sometime during the present month,
the deceased, a youth of seventeen or eigh
teen years, in company with a younger
brother, had gone to the hause cf the hus
lnndof the prisoner, (Henry Hill, senior,
their cousin,) that there, under the excite
ment of strong drink, a charge was made
by Henry Hill, sen. against Henry jun. of
having stolen a blanket, which they had
been using in gathering peas. that the
charge was returned with spirit, whereup
on the deceased received a blow, fled,
was pursued and stabbed by his cousi ),
Henry Hill, sen. that the prisoner also
pursued the deceased, and, by order of her
husband, inflicted heavy blows upon him
with a rail and board, of all which he died
in a few days.
We have frequently witnessed the trials
of criminals for capital offences, and it is
with mingled feelings of astonishment and
horror that we say we have never seen one
who displaced such composure and indif
ference, nay hardihood, as was exhibited
by this unfortunate wretch. She appeared
at the bar With a tender infant at her breast,
and neither the solemn and imposing cere
mony of the trial, with the dreadful appre
hensions it was calculated to awaken, the
certainty of infamy which would darken
ner cnaracier, even inougn acquitted, nor
on the innocent and guiltless nursling of
her affections, nor the tears of her distress
ed parent, who slood by her side, nor the
touching and pathetic eloquence of her
council, which reached many a fountainof
feeling, could cause a muscle lo move in
her face, or a tear to glisten in her eye.
It may be, and we wish we could be
lieve it, that her demeanor on the occasion
resulted from other causes than that of a
feeling of reckless indifference of hardi
hood. It has been beautifully said, that
"there is a stupefaction in wo, and that the
heart sinks without a pang when exhausted
by its afflictions," and it may have been,
that the feelings of the poor criminal, es
pecially if she possessed the tender sensi
bilities common to woman, had been strain
ed to such a degree as to have lost their e
lasticity, and that the nerves had been so
unstrung by extreme suffering, that they
were unable to indicate to the world the
emotions that heaved and agitated the
heart w ithin. Such are the surmises which
charity suggest, and would to God, for the
sake of onr species, and especially of the
female portion, that we could feel convinc
ed of their truth.
She was sentenced by the Court to be
branded on the brawn of the left thumb
with the letter M, and to be imprisoned

Horrid Affair. We understand that
ihe i i f e of a Mr. Hinkle, in the adjoining
County of Lincoln, vva3 taken up a few
days since, and, after trial before a court of
magistrates, committed to prison, charged
with the murder of her own slave, an aged
negro woman. It would be improper for
us at this time to give the particulars of this
horrid affair. We may state, however,
that the body of the negro was found at a
spring some distance f rom the house. Shi
had doubtless been murdered at the house,
as the floor was s ained with blood; and, at
t r being stripped of her clothing, wa.
draped over a fence down to where the
body was found. The verdic' of the jur
"I inquest was. that the negro had been
murdered by. Mrs. Hinkle. When a res' -
ed, Mrs. II.
was intoxicated, and a bottle
of spirits was found in the spring near the
deid body of the negro!

Murder of Mr. Jdums Statement of
Colt. I he trial of this individual, charged
with the dreadful murder of Mr. Samuel
Adams, is positively fixed for Monday next;
and Willis Hail, Esp., the Attorney Gen
eral for the State, is now in the city, for
the purpose, as we learn, of - assisting the
District Attorney in conducting the prose
cution. A strong effort will however be
made by the counsel for the prisoner for a
further postponement we should presume
with little success, if no better grounds are
furnished than those given when last pre
sented by the court. Jt was then distinct
ly understood that no indulgence could be
given beyond the present term, for the
reasons then stated.
We learn that Colt suffcres little, com
partively little mental agony, and the ter
rors of conscience -affect him little if any:
His brother, a lawyer of St. Louis, is
here and he together with the one residing
in this city are the only persons permitted
to visit him, except his counsel. To all
he is said to be very communicative, ex
cept on the subject of the murder.
He states that Adams came to his room
on the faial afternoon to dun him for an
unsettled account, about which there was
some dispute. They both sat down at the!
table and sullied various hem except $3.
About this a di?puie arose between them,
and high words ensued, during which Ad
ams called him 'a liar.' Exasperated at this
he struck him and a scuffle therepon ensu
ed. Adams being the stronger man of the
two, threw and fell upon Colt and clutched
him so violendy by.the throat that he was in
danger of choaking. Colt was then lying
on his back on the floor -and as his hand
stretched out, it came in contact with some
tning which he at once seized, (hut as he
avers he knew not what it was,) and find
ing Adams' gripe still hard upon his throat
h2 "brought his hand round him and struck
him on the back of the head; this it would
seem, was hardly sufficient to stun him,
and he only rolled on one side; Colt then
struck him again, and the blow must have
been on the. .side of the head. These
wounds, dreadful as the subs quent exami
nation proved them to be, were not suf
ficient to release the prisoner s throat : but
even in the agony of .death, Adams still
continued to hold firmly on till Colt seem
ed to be at his last gasp ami then the dread
ful blow was giv en on the front of the head
which deprived the wretched being of life
and released the other from his grasp.
Colt then arose, and found Adams a
corpse.
For some time, he says, he remaind
stupifled with dread and horror he knew
not what to do, and at length determined to
make his brother acquainted with the facts,
for this purpoe he went to his lodgings,
but he was not at home. He then went
into the Park, and walked there for some
time, being unable to make up his mind
as to the best course to be pursued; he at
one time thought to tell some friend, but
Knowing that stains rested upon his char
icter, he refrained, lest they should not be
lieve his slory, and so deliver him up to
pistice. After travelling the Park for ma
ny and many a lime, he at length return
ed to his rooms, and took the dreadful
neans, with which the public are alrea
dy acquainted, to conceal the awful deed.
We offer no remarks 90 the above .CUle-
j men', but simply give it as given to us.
i i'he tory is a very plausible, and a very
probable one. the wound on the head of
the deceased, might well have been given
in iho manner described. There are how
ever, no witnesses of the dreadful tragedy
to God and to himself the secret is
known.

(CJ"VVe are sorry to learn that a serious
riot has taken place at New Haven, in which
the principal actors were the Studeuts of

It appears that the Fire department turned
out on that day for - inspection with their
Engines, eight in number. As they were
to try the power of the machines on the
Central Church, it was necessary to lay
the hose over a pari of the College green,
but the students, who were playing ball,
repelled the firemen by force, and prevent
ed the hose, from being laid in defence of
the public authorities, who were present;
The quarrel did not end here; on Sunday
night, the Students broke into an Engine
house and entirely demolished a new En
