'cUcumaiances of this character, where there are
and ivbcrc one voice declares
the’ Undivided affection of the whole parly, who
can doubt bis triumphant election ? No man has
ever beorf placed ’ befote tho people for this high

•being among the possibilities,) wo will never
hereafter regard »»the signs of the limes,” os any
Criterion.
s _ . VVe now wish to'see the boasted “ war horse”
of ihe Federalists- placed on the course against
him. Our opponents, by an accidental success,
have the, vanity to believe that Governor Jounston
U invincible. . We hope they will nominate him
as their candidate, merely to g|vo us an opportu
nity this fail of convincing them of their folly
and error. ■
**• The history of .William Bigler is an illust
pus-example Tor the encouragement of talent and
energy, laboring through the difficulties that pot.
criy.sometimes places in the path of the good
and worthy. Corn in humble'circumstances, a
native of otir own county, he lias worked himself
op into the confidence of the people of Pennsyl*
vnnia,and now stands before them as a candidate
for their Governor. 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. What lover of his countiy does
not wish us success?

TO OUR FRIENDS^-aUBETING,
Wo embrace the earliest opportunity to return
our sincere thanks to the Delegates who support
ed us, at the Heading Convention, by thpir votes,
for the office of Canal Commissioner, and to those
Delegates also who did not, for tho Uindmaniier
in which they spoke of us, and for the good wish
es they expressed in'our behalf.' •
We labored under suriouß'disadvantag’es—first, :
in not having been named, for the station at a pe
riod sufficiently early; fend secondly, fromlhe
impression which generally prevailed .that the
West was entitled io the candidate at this time. 1
We have no complaints to and we surely
would bo most ungenerous to rhake any, for no
man was ever sustained by a truer, nobler set of!
delegates, than those who honored us by their
voles through the different ballolings, until our
name was withdrawn from the Cbnventlon. 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.

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. The. boy j a few nights
before, had attended the entertainment of Mr. Mn*
callisler, the magician now playing at the St. Louis
theatre, at which lime lie witnessed the act of cut.
: ling off the iifise of .onc of tho audience. Tit 6 per*
formunco m ido on astonishing impression upon Ins
young mind, (ho was about seven years old) and
since that, he had made the request of many per*
sons to allow him to try the same trick on them.
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. '
Although (ho extent of tho injury was obvious,
the people were paralyzed for the moment el such n
hideous spectacle, and nut until tho boy .hurst Solo
(curs, then for Iho first time understanding fully the
results of his folly, did they seek for assistance. In
the abacf.co of several for medical assistance, the
nosd was placed on, with tho ignorant Jiopo of its
slopping tho dreadful effusion of blood; but (he
diit winch hod*gathered on it on the floor prevented
(his, if indeed, (heir unskilful hands could ever.have
cflectnd it.
•On,the arrival of a medical man, fortunately In a
short time, (ho nose was washed and placed in its
proper position, end with groat difficulty the effusion
of blood was in n great measure shipped, though hot
until the .child had.fainted nwny several, times from
consequent weakness. The,hoy was token away
and interrogated, and gave the statement substan
