of human liberty to union and actiondenoun

that sixteen out of seventeen democrats elect

for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law,

affirms that the New York democracy " will

The Herald thus speaks of Mr. Mulvany :
In connexion with the nominations for the
Supreme Bench, we have heard the names of
several gentlemen, in various .sections of the
State, who, in every respect, possess the qual
ifications which would eminently fit them for
the station, and to this list we desire to add,
on the part of the Whigs of Montgomery coun
ty, that of D. II. Mulvany. Esq., of this place.
In all the.requsites which may be demanded
of a candidate for this important position, Mr.
Mulvany will be found to possess them in an
eminent degree, and we are pleased to know
that the Delegates from this county to the
State Convention will urge upon the Con
vention the importance of his nomination.
With long experience in the law, his practice
being extensive and successful, he has earned
for himself a professional standing which will

An Army of Subscribers.
It is computed that the regular subscribers,
to the New York Sun, standing side by side,
and each occupying eighteen inches space,
would form a line seventeen miles, fourteen
rods,. and three yards long; standing with
arms extended, and occupying six feet each,
they would reach sixty-eight miles, 'fifty --eight
rods, and one yard, &c. Sun
Let us see if we also can get tip some as
tonishing statistics. The regular subscribers
to the New York Triibune, standing in sin
gle file, each holding fast to the other's coat
tail, would form a line 17G miles, 7 rods, and
one yard long. Allowing that each could
hop, skip and jump the distance of four yards,
their simultaneous performance of this feat
would extend from Cape Horn to Baffin's
Bay. Supposing they , all sneezed at once,
the vibration of the air would overthrow the
spire of Trinity Church. In reading the 48
colu,nns of our double sheet ever morning, the
distance travelled hy their . eyes would reach

Buchanan wills it, and that he does intend to
have Campbell nominated may be sent down
as certain from tlic course of his. organ, the
Pennsylvania, from the declarations of his
Iriends, and from the results of the last Con
vention. - It is'clearly proven that Buchanan
is all powrefub with his party-in. this State,
and this power he has been using and still
uses to secure his noumination in the Locofoco '
National Convention.

Board, the Supreme Bench, the Surveyor, and
probably Auditor General, and nearly the
whole locofocc press under his control he will
be very likely to present an undivided delega
tion from Pennsylvania in his behalf in the
National Convention.
Buchanan will strain every nerve to have
Clover, Bigler. Campbell, and his other men
elected, for on the election depend all his
chances for the next Presidency. If they
bo elected, he will carry thc whole Pennsyl
vania. delegation, and that, united with those
of Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Ala

secure, him the locofoco nomination. He al
ready is a favorite in. the South, and the ltead
ing Con vert tian will increase his popularity.
To increase his strength in the South, he has
caused the Locofoco Convention to pass res
olutions in favor of all the measures of the
Compromise, of the non extension of the Wil
mot proviso, and of the Fugitive Slave Law
as it stand-?, without anv modification. He
jias caused thc Convention to pass a resolu

The Mount Moilv Mirror, in noticing the
the jury box, in this instance at least, and
shows how strictly the laws are adhered to.
When they found that it was difficult for them
to agree on a verdict, and tliere being every
'prospect of a long sitting, they sent for and
obtained hy some means, a quantity of provi
sions and liquor, which they feasted upon to
their great satisfaction. Some of them got
quite lively, procured a violin, and had a reg
ular Jersey dance. They so far stepped be
'yond the bonds of prudence that the judge
told them they were a disgrace to thc coun
ty. At one time they stood eleven to one,
and the solitary juror declared to his oppo
nents that they were eleven of the most ob
stinate men he ever had any thing to do
with.

say a word, and yet thc jury absolutely ren
dered a yerdict of not guilty. We thought
it a strange conclusion to arrive at, hut of
course twolve men know better than one. It
is said that the reason the jury rendered thc
verdict. that they did, they were fearful if
they brought the prisoner in guilty he would
be sent to state prison.

Shocking Eaad off Life.
Mr. Lemuel Woodward, of Plainfield, Ct.,
met his death a few days since, in a most dis
tressing manner. The circumstances are
thus related in the Norwich Courier :
He left his house about seven o'clock, for
one of his farms, lying a mile distant, for the
purpose of salting some young cattle pastur
ed tliere. His son-in-law, David Gallup, Esq.
finding upon his return from Church at noon,
that the old gentleman had not yet come
home, became apprehensive, and immediately
set olf in search of him. Upon arriving at
the field in which the cattle were kept, he
discovered Mr. Woodward lying beside a
laro-e rock, dead his body cold and shock
inly mutilated. Hastening with all speed
he went to call one of the nearest neighbors;
but before they jiot back to the snot, the cat-
tin. havimr scented the blood, and becoming
maddened by it, had gathered about the .dead

Previously, however, to rousing the neigh
borhood, Judge Gallup had examined the ap
pearance of the body sufficiently to ascertain
that it. had received two wounds. One of
these was in the breast, the other in the groin,
and both inflicted,3as circumstances leave no
doubt, by a two vear old heifer, whose sharp
horns were found to be covered with blood. -From
traces of blood, also, it was evident
that the deceased had received his first hurt
at a spot some rods removed from the rock
beside which the body was found, and that he
had climed to the top of the rock propably
for protection and fallen therefrom eiherfrom
faintness, or been forced to the ground by an
other attack from the infuriated animal. It ap
peared, also, before the Coroner's Inquest,
that some of the neighbors had heard human
cries in that quarter in the morning, but had
given little heed to them.
Mr. Woodward was 74 years of' age, and
a man of great wealth. The value of the es
tate left can not fall very short of half a mil-
or ooiiars. i et tne daily naoits ana styie or
living of the possessor of this immense wealth
were as plain, unostentatious and frugal, as
those of any farmer in the community.

going at the rate of thirty miles an hour,
when near Blair Furnace, passed through
a large charcoal wagon which was cross

leaving the horses and front wheels on
one side, and the hind wheels and half
the body on the other. The feat was
performed so quick and quietly that the
passengers did not notice it, and the
speed of the locomotive was' scarcely
checked.
