For many years past lie has been Identified with the history and legislation of, .the State,-and thus gained a thorough knowl edge of the interests of the Commonwealth, while atthe samo time he became known as a man cf unbending integrity. . Under the,banner of BIGLER, CLOVER and DEMOCRACY, we,again buckle on our armor, ibr a contest in defence of theinterests of Penn eylvania—in defence of the.Constitution,assailed on every side—in defence of our glorious Union— dh opposhlon to the fanaticism of (he North and South—and In opposition lo the mongrel cohorts of Federalism.

Wo shall support him with all the zeal we can command, for wo know,him to be, in every respect, a most excellent and worthy man, and a true and reliable. Democrat. He is a prompt, energetic business man, .and will make a valuable officer. 11 Old Mother Cumberland” will roll up a handsome majority for Bigler and Clover, “ Union and Victory ” shall continue (o be our motto. * Democrats of Cumberland, organize for the contest.'

We were.trealed nobly-by our friends, and kindly by all. Had we been named at. an earlier dayj or lad our location been different, the result might have been otherwise. For Mr* Clover, our suc cessful competitor, and in fact-for all the candi dates, we have the kindest feelings, for we believe the canvassing was conducted in d highly honor-, able and .praiseworthy.manner, .All wps good humor and fair dealing. Such is.always the pol- icy of tho Democratic party, and when that is the case the nominations of her Conventions will be cordially and heartily sustained at the polls.— There will then be no henrl-burninge and bitter feelings and jealoasiee, bnt all portions of the par ly, and.all sections of the State will look upon each other as friends and brothers. Altogether, the proceedings of the Headin' Convention have given us a belter opinion of tbb healthy action of (ho party—9 more abiding-faith in her permanent ascendancy—than wo had enter tained before, from events which pH will remen> her within the last few years. All persons, dolc- rales as well as those in attendance not iri the Convention, appeared to bo actuated by a common dosiro to serve the interests of the parly and those of thd.Coramonwealth. There was a self-sacri ficing spirit evinced throughout, a determination to overlook self for llio-general good. This is as It should bo, for when we commence a war fare fur men and not principles, for selfish and conupt factions, instead of an honorable and gal lant party battling for the pure principles of re publicanism, then wo may indeed despair of the Republic, but not till then. To all, wo say again, we return oor sincere thanks. ' We have nol been honored with being the nominee of the Convention, but we have been treated kindly and fairly* Thai was all wo had a right to expect. The interests,u*agea, and nom * inaliona of our party arc our guide, and shall have our best services. extraordinary Juvenile Freak* The following,.which wo lake from,the St.'Louis Reveille of the 17lli ult.,.exceeds anything wo over hoard of in the way ufjchijdjsli freaks of imitations An occurrence of a very frightful • character oc curred on Thursday, in a German family, residing, as wp understand, on IlanilranU slrcef, no less in fact, than a boy culling off the nose of his sister, a little girl of five years old.

This was looked upon as a mere childish fancy, and he.was rather encouraged ,in the idea then other* wise, nobddy over conceiving it possible that it woaid be so fearfully carried outi On Thursday afternoon; in the absence. of (he mother, the father being still at his employment, the boy induced his sister to fet him pluy “Miicaih’sier," and in submit her nose to (ho knife. She wad at drat alarmed at (lie sight of the knife, but on (its urgent entreaty, and assurance.not to hurl her, but to put it on directly, “just Jihp the Magician,” she Consented, Imitating his original,ho.placed a cloth round her peek, and with n largo carving knife cut oif the nose close to. her face. The poor child of course gave vent to her excruciating ngony in loud screams, which soon brought (ho neighbors to the house. The scene must have been curious and dreadful.- The girl was rolling nod writhing on the Hoor with pain, while her little hands strove in vntn to stop the fiightful flow of,blood from the horrible disfiguration. The boy stood aghast fur a moment., with (ho bloody knife still in his hand, while (he nobo lay bn (ho floor at his fee., as it had dropped from his hand on being cut off, a few seconds be fore.
