notorious murderer from the AUlmim Mercu

Jtevc, snd sumo of the crime* narrated in thr
folluwtej memoir arc familiar la man y ol
our discos. lie was executed for Iris Inal
crime at R irb utrsvtlie, Wilcox Comity, Ala
—Kd Columbia Timet
Luke Manning was a native of Sutitli C »r< •
lias, and Ins parents are said to bare b en
very respccttlrlojind in affluent circumstan-e*
At the age nf 17 or 18 he was, by an unfor
tunate fatality, permitted to select for Ins ns
•‘Ociaiog, dnrn g n period of seven or tight
year*, h parcel of youths of ah nit Hie same
age, whose reckless den-npaled and riolona
conduct, rendered them the terror and abbot
fence of the neighboihood they infested.
One of the feats he performed during this
period, was (forhis amusement only,) lose iti
an old man by the loose skin of li:i> throat
drawing the same from the flesh and insert
ing Ins knife close to the win ,-pipe and slit
ting the akin, leaving a largi-gusli, or to Use
tho peculiar slang ol su.h men “Jew-lapped
the man.”
At, or about tbi* lime, (aged ‘JS) lie came
into possession of Ins estate, worth about SB,-
000 (equivalent to about $30,000 at the pres
ent day ) Me kept bachelor's ball, for he no
rer married, and a gang of his ermne* always
•bout him, while at the same lime he attempt
«d the management of his estate. Me had not
•a ycl reached that degree of depravity which
•ould enable him to pcpclrate the destruction
•if a fellow being, but to gnilily Ins thirst for
blond, he calculated wiiheonl precision, how
much «t the murderous knife that he constant
ly carried about him, he might venture to use
without incurring the ultimate penalty of ihe
law. lie mechanically broke a gap m tho edge
of ins kn fe, within an inch ol the point, solli
cicnlly large to insert hi» fhmnh, and thus pro
vided against wounding his own fingers and
any great Jiabil ly of taking life, ho would in
discriminately attack without the smallest
justifiable provocation, and cut, lacerate and
mark whoever had tho misfortune infill in His
way, without superior means of defence. In
this manner he left monument* of his cruel
and seemingly uncontrollable pn pinrily whore
ever lie went for a period of five year ’.
During this period at a country frolic, he
amused himself hy imporcopt lily culling a la
dy's dress, and so completely did he disen
gage and taller it that when she arose horn
her chair the shreds fell from her body and
left her exposed to the gar.o of Iho crowd. —
For this exploit he was prosecuted and mulc
ted in the sum of? 5,000 damages.
During the sa.l'*' period, he with five of his
associates, stripped a mail and washed his
body, first with whiskey flPu ll.cii v7"h spir
its of tiirponiine, and then set lire to inJ*" lr
face. The physicians that attended upon the
man, slates that the skin of Ins entire body
was so burnt ns lo he disorganised except a
spot about 'lie anna ns large ns a dollar.—
Mo colored a prosecution against them, but
they prevented it from going into court hy
paying him SI,OOO each, as a compromise.
At tin-age of thirty-two, when at a shooting
match, upon n very slight ocen.'.iun, lie shot n
man with Ins rll •. Fir this nffjitcc he was
tried, condemned and soolnnccd to he hung,
hut through the infill nice of Ids family, the
G ovornor pardanu him.
About throe months alter this transit linn
he again Connnencud culling mid marking,
which lie omitiniie.l fur uhuul the suine length
of tune. Mo now attempted to kill a man
wilh his knife, but struck dm nmsliod process,
and laid the (1 -sh open lo dm hone froi* thut
point to the extremity nl'tliuchin. For this
offence ho was sentenced to twelve mouths
imprisonment and to pay $1.(111.1 damages
As snon ns released, he again commenced
ins reckless course, winch he pursued nil lie
was thirty-eight, at which lime ho killed uno
liter man,—Thu was visited with a conviction
for man-slang'iicr. Tim penally consisted
of a fine of $l,OlO and I'J months imprison
ment.
About forty ho again commuted murder,
for which ho was once more tried, convicted
and sentenced to he hung. Among those
present at the Courthouse, was a brother of
the prisoner, wh i, upon {hearing the sentence
fainted. He was removed home and the fol
lowing morning ho was a corpse Ties cir

of mercy and a separation from his v eious
associates would lend to reform linn. Ans!
how vain the hope—lt uv poorly was his char
acter understood. Torn vary mi i whose in
fluence and exertions had resen id him from
an ignominious, (if not an u itimely) death,
was the li st lo feel dial he was tm or

him from adding another foul murder lo dm
catalogue of Ins crimes.

and up to the lime at Ida last criminal ml, n
period of about dree you.-i. h •seemed gloo

Such a stale sf qn o' and ob-ctiniy, did not
suit him and lie rn.lo to a g-ms iemin's plan

shot bint without the smallest provocation.—
For thu offence he was ex Tilled.
Tho Judge had Ins melom.lt dy duty embit

been bis schoolmate and companion, and
therefore could not avoid nlmd ng lo the past,

hope, that the prisoner would improve the
short apace ol lime allollcd lo him before Ins
execution lo fit himself for eternity. M in
ning. alter leaving the Cnurlliniisu and while
on his way lo prison, uttered die most revolt
ing maledictions against the Judge, saying it
was none of his concern whether he went to
Heaven or Hell. Mis final act was to snitch
at a stick while pinioned, lo strike one of the
bystanders. Mo met Ins death w ith reckless

execrations against the whole human race.

WASHINGTON, Sept. C, 1837.
Never was there a larger assemblage within
i die walls of tho Capitol than that which filled
Ihe galleries, avenues, and passages of both Hou
ses yesterday to hoar the first Message of Picsi
dunt Van Burnt to the afiemhled Wisdom of the
nation. Mr, Garland of Va. from the Commit
tee appointed hy the House lo wait on the Presi
dent, and inform him that Congress was assem
bled, and ready to tocoivo any comiminicaliOn he
might have to make, reported that that duly had
been discharged, and lhat the President would
transmit a Message at twelve o’clock. All eyes
were immediately turned to the liar, ut which
Abraham Van Burcn, Esq., the President’s pri
vate secretary and second son, appeared, and hav
ing been introduced in the usual form hy the
door-keeper, presented the Message in a very
graceful and appropriate manner. The message
was read in a clear and forcible manner hy Mr.
Franklin, the Clerk, and listened to wilh deep
and fixed attention by the House. It was easy
to discover that tho Whigs regarded its extreme
Loco Focoism wilh some surprise, though not
regret. That the “Conservatives” were filled wilh
chagrin and mortification; and that thu Gloliciles
and ultras were full of joy and exultation. No
rrmaiks, how ever, were made in reference lo the
subject matter; although a disputu arose among
some of the members with regard to tho number
of copies which ought lo be printed. A proposi
tion having been made lo print 80,0110 copies
Mr. Whittlesey, of Ohio, look occasion !o com
ment, with some severity, upon this attempt lo
begin the session which had been rendered neces
sary by the public embarrassment, with an act of
such extravagance. His suggestions, however
were of no avail. Twenty thousand copies were j
ordered —and ten thousand of the Treasury Re
port.
The House then proceeded to the election of a
Printer, and after five balloting* with no material
' change in the state of tho poll, the members be
came tired, and canto to tho determination to ad
journ for dinner. (iales Ac Seaton received 103
I votes, Blair As Rives 104, and Thomas Allen,the
editor of the Madisonian 88. It requires a ms
jorily of the whole number present to make an
J election; so of course no one obtained the situa
lion.
in the Senate there was nothing ol importance
done. The Message was read. Mr, Silas Wright,
j the author of the “yet untried expedient,” moved,
that five thousand copies bo printed, Mr. Clay
| seconded the motion! and expressed his wrlling
. t ness that not only five, hut ten, twenty or forty
i thousand copies should bo printed, and circulated
{ far and wide.
The express mail having departed yesterday at
i 18 o'clock for the South, 1 sent to your address a
copy of the Message; but was of course obliged lo
defer Ihe synopsis of Congressional proceedings
> i ill to-day.
Another day consumed in balloting and dis
i eussron—and ycl no printer elected ! I told you
■ last week that the disaffection in the ranks of tire
: parly might be healed so'fares not to intciferc
: wilh the election es a Spe akcr,” hut that there
. would be no compromise b rtwern ihe Globe let. A
■ of Conservatives which would secure (liesuccess
Blair and Rives. The proceedings of this day clear
ly show I think; lhat the conductors of the infamous
; | Globe eon in no event bo elected printers lo the
present House of Representatives. Their friends
' after caucusing all last week, discovered their
weskness; fit to day one of them a Mt. Bronson of i

requited work. H« offered t resolution providing
lhat Die printing for the House for (blank) lime
! "liould be given out under the direction of l h®
i Clerk. Thu movement mr promptly exposed
hy Mr. Cushing of Mae*, who declared it wa« an
attempt to Jo that indirectly which the Hotwe had
yesterday refuauj by a luge and decisive vote lo
' do directly—namely,to give the work to Blair and
1 Riven. A motion war made to lay the resolution
lon the table which wa« lost. It wan at this point
r | that the spirited and eloquent Pickens of S. C.
j rose and offered an amendment providing that the
I contracts should be given to the lowest bidder.
Ills object waa to separate the House from all aa
aociation with partisan editora in the capacity of
' public printers. He supported his proposition
with asp rech of great power, in which he drew
’ a forcible and faithful picture of the vasscllagc
of the trainbands to the Cilolie, and denounced
the government for the use it made of that en*
' gine of despotism. A number of amendments
| were offered; and a discussion of great spirit and
0 , variety arose, running into questions of national
' and party politics, in which Mr. Wise gave us a
taste of that sarcastic and fiery eloquence for
' which he is so justly celebrated, and Mr. Ogden
’ Hoffman, a new member from the city of New
1 Vork, made his debut in a short but most beauti
ful and impressive speech. He took at a bound,a
r most distinguished position in the House, and he
I showed ability, and eloquence, and debating ta-
I lent sufficient to enable him to retain it. The
t discussion was terminated by a motion to lay the
1 resolution snd the amendments on tbe table,
f which prevailed,
e The balloting proceeded: and it became evident
I tstot the whig members were beginning to con
a centratc upon ths editor of the Madisonian,whose
B vote increased on every ballot. No result had
1 been come to, and the House is still in session,
- when, in order to meet the express mail, I must
■ bring this to a close.
The Senate to-day (Sept. sth) did not remain
f in session longer than half an hour. They re
: solved to appoint the standing committees to-mot
l row. Nothing of importance was transacted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 1837.
The Senate lo day was occupied lor a Conalde*
r rablo time with Executive business—a number
r of unimportant appointments were laid before
’ them for advice and consent; and were duly act
ed upon.
The Chairmen of several of the principal Ouiti*
mlltcos wets elected by ballot. Mr. Wright of
N. \ . was re-elected lo the bead of the Commit
! tee on Finance. Mr. Buchanan lo the chair
I of Foreign Relations. Mr. King of Ala. to the
head of the Committee on Commerce. For the
1 chair of manufactures, Mr. Niles received 19
voles—but there not being a quorum present,
there was no election. Mr. Clay then moved
that the appointment of the remainder of the
Chairmen, and the filling up of the Committees
lie left to the discretion of the Vico President,
which was carried without a division. The re
sult of Mr. Vico President Johnson’s selection
will he announced to morrow.
The House have passed several hours in the
election of a Printer, and the questions arising
upon it. Tho subject pending at the adjourn
ment of the House last night, was tho resolution
of Mr. Boon of Indiana, for conducting the elec
tion of a printer viva voce. Mr. Robertson this
morning moved a substitute fur it, teciting that
the printing of the House ought to be separated
from all connection with tho political Press; and
providing that the Clerk direct the printing to
he given by contract to four Printers of Washing,
ton (Jit.v, and to bo distributed among them in
equal portions.
Mr. Garland of Va., rose to express his concur
rence in the opinions, which led his colleague !
(Mr. R.) to propose this resolution ; but thought
the object impracticable at the present time. He
avowed himself one of those who voted for Mr. ■
Allen. Ho did so, because ho stood pledged to 1
hit constituents to support principles and doc- |
trines against what the conductor of the Globe
arc warring. Mo alluded lo tho remark made j
yesterday in debate, that I tic Conservatives were 1
marked men for execution. They might bo so:*
but that consideration should never prevent him
from supporting his principles.
Mr. Wise expressed his belief that his colleague
(Mr. Garland) would ever defend his principles
and iloctoines as became a true Virginian.
Tho resolution of Mr. Boon and Mr. Robert
son both, were laid upon the table after sonic fur
ther discussion.
Mr. Graves of Kentucky then offered a resolution
providing that the Clerk procure the printing tu
be done by Mr. Allen, according to contracts.
Mr. Patton moved and lay the resolution on tho
table. Mr. Gholson (a Globe man) called for
the ayes and noca in order to ascertain who tho
friends of Allen were,and lo frighten them into the
support of the Globe. Mr. Lega-e ofS.C. called
upon Mr. Gholson of Mississippi lo withdraw his
demand for the ayes and nocs. He said he had
j voted for Mr. Allen from first lo last ; and he
did not make the request now because the friends
I of Mr. Allen had any care about being known as
such, but because it was unnecessary. He and
his friends would vote against the resolution (of
Mr. Graves) it was, in his opinion, inconsistent
with lb« practice of the Houses, Mr. Lcgaro
declared he would not vote for Blair and Rives
in any case. Mr. Graves, after aome farther dis
cussion, withdrew his resolution.
The balloting was thou renewed; and it np
peared that
Blair and Rives received, 104 votes

Mr. Howard of Md., then made an attempt to
have tho printing given to Blair and Rivea untij
the third Monday in September, but on motion of
Mr. Patton, tho proposition was laid on the table
There were two more ballolings—twelve in alj
—and on tho last,
Gules and Seaton obtained, 9 votes
Blair and Rives, 101
Tho*. Allen, 113.
And the last number being a majority of the
whole" voles given, Mr. Allen was declared to
' be duly elected printer to tho House of Repre
sentatives during the twenty fifth Congress.
The remainder of the sitting was occupied in
the consideration of several motions relative to the
amendment on adoption of the rules.
The election of Mr. Alien has lice “hailed on
1 all sides as a triumph over the Loco Forocs and
Agrarians ; and it ought to lie regarded as a dc
• ciaive expression by the representatives of the
people of reprobration of tha President’s Message.
1 That document is\n accordance with the whole
1 tone and character of the articles on the currency

The pocket ship Lulled tJia-es.Capt Holdredgr,
arrived ibis looming Irom Liverpool, whence sne
sailed on the 9th August ultimo. The ediloraof
the Commercial Advertiser are consequcntlyin
possession of London papers to the (ith of Augijiii
inclusive, together with the latest commercial and
1 other advices to theoth inclusive.
1 The papers are still filled with the proceedings
, of the pending election*, which are marked with
I great spirit, not unattended with outrage. Ihe
conservatives have put forth their utmost energies;
1 but king numbers is two strong foi them, although
I they have gained considerable upon him. Mr.
Hume, long the Radical member for Middlesex,
, has been driven from that strong hold, hy an over
whelming vole, and has taken refuge as a candidate
• in Kilkenny. On the other baud, the conserva
• lives have lost the election in Dublin, where the
f leading radical candidate, Dan. O’Oonnell him
, self, has been returned, with his associate candi
-1 dale, Mr. Hutton, by a majority of 100. The
triumph of the agitator in the Irish capital, was a
5 soul sc of great exultation,
1 The Duchess of St. Albans died on the oth of
- August.
It is at once a significant and remarkable sign
ol the times, that the conservatives have generally
carried the English counties, while the reformers
1 are indebted to the boroughs—the former objects
i of their holy horror—for all the strength they have
r in the English representation.
A Liverpool paper of August Bth, gives the fol
-1 lowing as the general result of the elections, so
' for as the returns have been received;
- In the English boroughs the reformers have re
, turned one hundred and ninety-three members,
, and the conservatives one hundred and forty
eight.
In the English Counties the reformers have rc
! turned only thirty-six members, while the con
> servatives have reiured eight-eight.
In Scotland the reformers have rcturnedjlhirty
’ two-members, and the conservatives fourteen: and
In Ireland the reformers have returned twen
t ty-one members, and the conservations eight.
. The total number returned by the reformers in
f the three kingdoms is, therefore, 382, and by the
conservatives 359; giving ministers a majority of
1 only 23, There still, however, remain to be ac
> counted for 31 English country members, 6
t Scotch members, and 76 Irish membets, to make
up tbe the number ofGSB; and supposing the re
sults lo be in the same proportion as in the eon
’ tests already decided, it is probably that the ma
• jority of ministers will be increased from 23 to
. between 35 and 40. It will be somewhat bc
twceen thirty and forty at all events, unless the
Irish elections should lake a less favorable turn
than there is any reason to expect.
■ The Morning Herald of the 7th gives a sum
r mary of the returns thus: ministerial members re
turned, 252; conservative gain 50; loss 36. Lcav.
ing a nett conservative gain of 14. It is clear
■ from these results, that the strength of the min
istes depends upon what the conservalives
, snceringly denominate Mr. O’Connell’s “Tail”—
consisting of a compact body of some fifty mom
hen.
