A writer in the Worcester federal paper, in the true spirit of some "rebel" productions in this town, attempts to assimilate the execution of Arbuthnot and Ambrister with the murder of Pierce and the butchery at Dartmoor! Here is an effort, in our own country, to render the execution of British spies and emissaries equally atrocious with the unprovoked murder of Pierce, and the American prisoners at Dartmoor! Verily, verily, the laborer is indeed worthy of his hire!
