Toahe Judicial Conven ion, DAVID NOT and Utsescf Mratcca, also uninstructed. The Senatorial' delegates have not let been agreed upon. Col. William Bigler ,The nomination of this popular gemocrat, as our candidate for Governor, by the Reading Conven tion is now certain. Already-a sufficient number &delegates iay . orable to him, have been elected, to secure his nomination upon the first ballot, by a • lug. majority. it has been , long slime the Democracy. have ral lied to the.support of a better man, or sounder Demo. crat, than %Lulu BicLea. Ills name upon our banner, as our candidate, will arouse the Democra cy to a determined effort, which iS always the cure precursor of s•brilliant victory. That ho will be -elected triumphantly, there cannot bd.a iloubt, and •his elevation will be a guarantee that the adminis tration of the affairs of the commonwealth will be honest and upright; and her integrity and faith be :fully maintained. • —By the proceedings of onr County Convention it will be seen that a fesolution 'instructing our Dele gates to support Col., Bial.ka was laid upon_ the la ble by an almost unanimous vote. This .was .00t the result of any opposition to him, but Cronin feel. tug that ihe resolution was unnecessary and muse.' 4. It has been customary, in this county, to Select sound Emi t ! capable men, who understand the wish es of the Democracy, and who will, faithfully, carry them out, and leave such Delegates free and unem barrassed by any instructions. This-is the case in the piedent instanze. The Delegates are the open *nd firm friends of BIGLER. We have looked upon that popular Democrat as the proper person for our candidate for Governor at the 'next election, for some time. We presume there-was not a delegate in attendance upon our Convention, whose first choke was not WILLIAM BICLCIf. He is the favor ite of this County, and the choice of its Democrats, with entire unanimity. • . Such being the case, and in view of the fact, that the nomination of Col. IimLER is already beyond queition, it was deemeirunnecessary to pass any resolution upon the' subject. It moreover looked like a reflection upon the Delegates elect, to pass "resolutions instructing them to vote,lor a man who was their first choice, and whom they know is the , choice of the Democracy-of BradfOrd. The mei& bers of the County Convention not'having any ut ter* objects , to 'emphatically refused, to take so unne cessary and unusual a step. Agricultural- Meeting. A meeting will be held at the Court House, on Mciriday evening next, for the purpose of forming a Corny AgricithundiSociety. We trust the arm era from diflerdin partaof the county who may be in this place, Will fuel sufficient interest to be in at. tendance. . The ,adjoining counties are,. most of theni, far ahead of Bradford, in this respect, and , how their agricultural pooh:spas formed and , In . suc. easeful operation. The utility of sueltorganizations in:forwarding the interests of the ag,riculturist.has already been proVen. We hope .our farmers' will take hello! the matter, with zeal anchletermina• lion, and form a society which shall be second to none ia.this region in,prac.tical beneot.

' THE MINIMAX Cortsetaacy.—The Detroit Tri bune of April 26 gives the following chapter from Ake history of the late conspiracy of desperadoes in that State. The story seemg utmost incredible. Is notsome - one pradtisimg upon public credulity for some Sinister purpose ! The schemes concomed„ and the System .under which the gang of radians, recently erratum' along the line of the Central Railroad, were drilled, and the depths totwhich they were ready to sink them selves m crime and depravity,' May be partly in ferred from the following leaf in the history of their conspiracy. • At one of the regular neetmgs,,whiA they were in the habit of holding periodically at their place of rendezvous, for the purpose of consultation alto to tare Movements, and the division' of plunder, it was reported by some, in the order of business, that one of their sworn number, whose name was stated, had been detected'in revealing some of the secrets that should have been known only to the initiated. Suspicions of betrayal were freely in dtdged in, and to the question as to how the guilty ono should be silenced, one of the conclave made the significant remark that " dead men tell no tales:"" Acting upon this hint, it was unanimously agreed that the punishment should he death ; and that the duty of carrying the penalty into effect should be let out to , the lowest bidder for the job! The first offer was named at three hundred and fifty dollars for an assassination, and the bidder went on till the sum was lowered to one hundred dollars—the bid der reservingthe right to put ,the victim om of the way in his own place and manneri'and the time' allotted not to exceed fee days. ' This offer was the pries finally agreed - Upon, andthe-money'was immediately counted out and paid over to the fiend who had agreed to steep his bands in the murder. ,The individual complained of, and thus singled out as the Victim of their vengeance was ono of the two, who,- for 18 months, bad been en der pay of the Central Railroad' Company, for the purpose of detecting and .bringing, to justice this most abandoned gang of desperadoes. Fearing that be had become suspected of treachery, her had disguised himself, and in the capacity of one of their mote western accomplices, had presented himself by the, proper pass words, ,and was prea. ert throqhont this interesting council s %liens life - had become a price" At the first opportunity . alter these interesting preliminaries hid been set. oor rilmarted mannwithdreur from The infer. nal cabal, little relishing as may be supposed, left the warm,position in iCh he found himself plac. eJ, making. it the last time he aver met the prectous gang in council, and being but a day or two - before Their official emelt to our city, under the guidance of the Sheriff and bis t • Sited - tiro TfECCEDY:—Our eommuniiy •has been shocked-by hearing "(tribe' massacre of .* winthy Geiman:cnizeN.Valeutine , Bartle, his wife Catha rine and their infant child, : aged one year, -in.lhrta bo(ough township,,about nine miles from this city.
