CTMVina Ticket Our whig friends have I
not, as they say, formed a ticket, but merely hell
convention of delegate at this place, on Mon
day last, in which it was agreed that they would
run Isaac Stratib, Esq., of Milton, as a candidate
for the Assembly. W'm. H. Muench.of Shamo
kin, was fixed upon as a candidate for Proth'y,
Mr. Rockefeller and a number of other volunteer
candidates for the different offices of Sheriff, Co
ronor, Commissioner, tee. Conferees Were also
appointed to meet the Dauphin conferees at Mil
lersburg. on Wednesday last, to nominate a Sen
ator, for which Wm. Tweed was recommended.
Thit may not be a ticket exactly, but looks as
much like one as two peas.
Crim Atn nsCoinsKQcfjirM. Ia the Mindcn
Journal (Parish ofClaiborne, in this State,)erf tbe

and its fatal consequence. It tells of three men,
Robert Goodwin, Mr. Henry, or Mcllcnry, and
another man whose name the editor did not learn,
who married each one of three listers, and lived

Ark., about seventy miles from Minden, One
of the sisters she whose husband's name is not
given sometime since died; the other two a

Henderson. Besides abandoning their fiOsbands,
they left behind each of them a yonng child.

The convention then proceeded to a second
vote, which resulted as follows :
democracy of the Union, in his selection as Vice
Piesideiit.
lleiolvrd. That we entertain undiminished
confidence in the purity, integrity and democracy
of the Hon. James Bi ciianan, whose brilliant
and sound talents gave him such an enviable re
putation while a member of the Senate of the
United State that his selection as Secretary of
State wat a distinguished honor conferred on
Pennsylvania, and is a most satisfactory evidence
to us, that while the interests of the whole coun
try will be ably sustained, those which may es
pecially regard our own State, will be respected
and maintained.
Remind, That the Canal Commissioners who
have been elected by the pople, have discharged
their arduous and responsible duties with ability
and fidelity that they have introduced a system
of economy and responsibility in the management
of the public works, which meiits commenda
tion from every citizen of the Commonwealth.
Reiulvtil, That we hail the rising star of Tex
as, and her admission into the Union, as the bene
ficial result of the ascendency and diffusion of
democratic principles, in enlarging the area n'
human liberty; and the Keystone State will not
fail to rally around our patriotic Chief Magis
trate, Jamks K. Polk, in the maintenance of her
rights ami our rights.
Reiohed. That Oregon is. and ought of right to
be ourt ; and, in the maintenance of that right,
we hold it to be the obvious and patriotic duty,
and we have implicit confidence that snrh will
be the course of the Government, not tosurren
der any portion nf the American soil, to the un
lust demands of a foreign eovi-rnmeiit ; that the
public domain is the inheritance of the people
and that foreign hands should not be permitted
t wrest it from those whose free toil and strong
arms will change the wilderness into cultivated
fields, and give additional sovereignties to the
American Union..
Heiotvrd, That this Convention perceive in the
general prosperity of the country ; in the secure
enjoyment afforded to the ritizen of his consti
tutional rights, against the efforts of all who
Would encroach upon his privileges ; and iu the
full determination upon the part of the adminis
tration to sustain the honor of our Hug sgaintt
foreign aggression ; the just lesntts of a strict
adherence to those salutary nieaures and princi
ples of Democratic policy which have secured to
our country the proud distinction which she now
occupies among the nations of the earth; and as
theeffective discipline of the Democratic party
is essential to its success; and as the secuiity
and performance of free institutions depend upon
the maintenance of its principles; we deem it
essential, that all who are d'-mocrats in princi
ple and in practice will adhere sternly and firm
ly to the regular nominations of the party; nd
that all who set up their private judgment

Mr. Eyer to make this statement, that his ' splendid monuments of Catholic art, the dome of
ft. Peter's at Rome, inspires serious alarm in
the minds of the architects of the city. For a
long time past ihe cupola has been cracked in
many places, and ten arches of iron, weighing
00.000 kilogrammes, have been placed so as to
prevent its fall. It has just been discovered that
the lantermino, above which rises the cross
which crowns the edifice, is craked through and
through. The numerous lightning conductors
w hich had been erected by Pope Pius VII, for the
protection of the edifice, remove all idea ofthit
mischief having been the effi-tt of thunder

heavy iron chains, to prevent the cracks from

imprisonment in the jail. Mr. Van Buren apolo
gized and asked the court, if possible, to com-
ny
thing else than imprisonment. The Judge was
inexorable, and the gentlemen bullies had to take
quarters in the prison. This is dealing out equa 1
and exact justice, and will have a good effect.

ed The conferees from Dauphin and Nor
thumberland counties met at Georgetown, in
thit county, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for the Senate. The con
vention wat organized by appointing John C.
McCallister of Dauphin, President, and C. W.
Ilegins of this place, Secretary. The convention
ballotted fotty-two times without any piospect of
making a nomination, the vote standing 3 for ' "lute the punishment to a pecuniary fine, or a
Win. L. Dewart, and 3 for John M. Foster. The j
convention then adjourned to meet again at Dun- j
can's Island, on Thursday next. We hope they
will be enabled at their next meeting to make a
choice. Our success will depend, not only on '
the kind of a man that will be selected, but on i
the union and harmony of the party. Circnm-j
stances beyond the control of those who would 1
have liked to have seen measure adopted to se
cure the union and good leelingofthe whole par
ty, have caused a division in our ranks that ought
not to exist.

favor of Mr. Kunkel and 2 in favor of Mr.
Tweed. They are to meet again on Monday

waiting the result of the meeting of the democra
