A Camp Meeting, at Bclsano, nine miles
west of town, commences to-morrow, and con
tinues some days.
fiy The great leDgth of the Election Trocla
uiation and Sheriff's Sales fills up our paper
considerably, and much interesting matter in
tended for this issue has to lie over.
2T" A grand parade of all the companies
composing the Cambria Brigade, t;ikc3 place at
the Summit to-morrow, (Friday.) The Cambria
Guards meet this afternoon at the Court House
for the purpose of making arrangements to at
tend it.
CfcijT- Our "City Fathers," if wc may be al
lowed the use of a term, should turu their at
tcntion to the wattring trough at the west cud
of town, and have the pipes repaired, so as that
section would Lc well supplied with water. It
is much needed, uul many persons would be
benefitted.

beauty and regularity. The council passed an
ordinance requiring all the pavements to be laid
before the 20th September, and from present
appearances the whole town will be well paved
at or near that time. Cricks, bricklayers, and
carpenter, are in active demand. A number of
houses have- been erected this Bummer, and the
"work goes bravely on." Our word for it,
Ebensburg will be a noted place yet All wc
want is several plank roads, a hotel at the
Springs as large as Ly tic's "Mountain House,
at the Junction, and the people to know that we
have the best climate in the Stale.
Democrats, are you Assessed ?
This is an important duty, and should be
immediately attended to. It is this which
guarantees to you the right of suffrage.
Remember, that unless you are assessed TO
DAYS before the election, and have paid a
State and Couuty tax within two years, you
will be denied one of the highest privileges
known in a free republican government THE
RIGHT TO VOTE.
Judge dominated.
Thos. P. AMrBELL, Eko., of Huntingdon
county, was yesterday Dominated by nrrhnnalion
as the candidate of the Democracy of this dis
trict for President Judge. He is a gentleman
of prepossessing appearance and pleasing u l
drrss. He ia a lawyer of acknowledged ability
and profound research. His niaie is placed at
the mast-head of the Sentinel and we beleive
he can and will be elected over Judge Taylor.
John Scott Esq , of Hunting'.)!, was selected
a-, nernrii! Pe'rge t-j the "tatc- cvinui'ii I
Tlie legislature.
The conference, which met at Scdford on the
2nd instant, nominated, unanimously, Col. John
Kean, of Cambria, and Wm. P. Schell, Esq., of
Fulton, as the candidates of the democratic
party of this district for the Legislatue. The
name of Col. Kean has been at our mast head
since his nomination by the county convention,
of June last, and wc this week take pleasure in
placing along side of it the name of Wm. P.
Schell, as bis colleague. That both these gen
tlemen arc deserving of the suffrages of the
democratic party of Cambria, there can be no
doubt, and if we are to judge from the fact that
there is no opposition manifested towards either
of them, by members of their own party, we
must unhesitatingly say, that their election is
certain, and the triumph of the democracy will
be complete.
Col. Kean is known to each and every demo
crat of this county. Born amongst us, he has
by untiring industry, and great perseverance,
established for himself a name near and dear
to all of you. He lias always been an indus
trious, hard-working man, one of the people,
one whose feelings and interests are, and al
ways will be, with the laboring and industrious
classes, and it is enough to know that he is
honored and beloved by those who earn their
livelihood by the sweat of their brow, men
- m .. .-w ouv CBICC1U 11 13 OL pieaSing
gratification to possess. He deserves your sup
port, and we hope each and every democrat in
this county will do their utmost for his election,
thereby promoting the success of the party, and
establishing the true democratic doctrine, prin
ciples, not men.
Wm. P. Schell, Esq., to many of you, is a
new man. For the Legislature he is a new man,
but when you are aware of the confidence re
posed in him, by the democracy of Bedford and
Fulton counties, and recollect that those two
counties recommended him with singular unan
imity, for the office, it would occur to you that
if he is a young man, he is old in the hearts of
hia friends and neighbors. Wc know him well,
and know him to be a competent, worthy, and
excellent young man, one deserving of your
support, one who, if elected, would reflect
credit upon the district, and attend strictly and
faithfully to his duties. Let every democrat
manfully support him, and let Cambria in Octo
ber next, send greeting to the democracy of the
State, an increased majority for Messrs. Kean
and Schell, an unprecedented majority for our
gallant candidate for Governor, Hon. Wm. Big
ler, the Raftsman of the Susquehanna, for
Gen. Seth Clover, our candidate for Canal Com
missioner, for the able, learned, and erudite
candidates for the Supreme Bench, and last,
though not least, in importance, the .whole
county ticket, one and all. The California
Banner will then be yours, and the motto of the
Pennsylvania of the Pacific Eureka inscribed
upon it, will ehine with tenfold brightness upon
the summit of our own Alleghenics, and here
after lead us on to victory and the maintenance
of our time honored principles.
President Judge.
The Johnstown " Wreath," in speaking of the
nomination of Judge Taylor by the Whigs of
this district says: "In this nomination wc
heartily concur, and we arc sure Cambria will
give tier undivided support," and further that
"we do not remember to ever hare witnessed
such unanimity as is now manifest in this county,
ia iavor ot Judge T. as the candidate for the
next election." The editor is certainly mistaken.
there is no unanimity existing in this county for
Judge Taylor, and there arc large numbers of
higs who will not support him under any cir
cumstanccs. Whigs and Democrats respect him
as a citizen, but the Democracy and many mem
bers of the Whig party find fault with his slow
manner of dispatching business, and feel ag-
gnevcu at tne holding of so many adjourned
courts each of which increases the taxes of every
rcsiueni 01 tne countv. Tim llrmwrdd r;n

Col. Big lf.u will be in Pittsburg to-morrow,
(Friday,) and address hia Democratic fellow
citizens on the issues involved in the present
contest. He speaks at Kittanning, on Monday,
the loth and willbe ably assisted. From thence
he goes to Washington, Fayette, Greene, Bed
ford, Fulton, Franklin and York counties, and
it is quite probable that he will visit Cambria
about the 1st of October. If so, he will receive
a hearty welcome from our hardy mountaineers
every one of whom would be rejoiced to hear
the voice of their former Senator once more.
From the west come the most flattening ac
counts of his increasing popularity, and his
journey through Clarion, Mercer, Jefferson,
Venango and Butler counties, has been one of
unprecedented success. The old and the young,
the grave and gay, the weak and the feeble
came to see him and hear him speak. He pur
sues me same maniy straight lorward course
where'eer he goes, and never tires in his efforts
to preserve inviolate the doctrine of the great
Democratic party, of which he is so deserving a

the fates conspire against him the coons are
downhearted and will be badly used up on the

Death onion. Ievl Woodbury.
This distinguished gentlemen died at his
residence in New Hampshire, last week. For
some years he has been an Associate JuJo'e of
the Supreme Court of the United States, and at
a meeting of the Philadelphia Bar, on Monday
last, Hon. Geo. M. Dallas paid the following
eloquent tribute to his memory ;
He had known the honored deceased, as a
public agent, a private gentleman, intimately
and for many years ; and he felt that the coun
try and the social scene had cause to deplore
the loss of a great man, a most useful one, and
a most attractive associate. His ability and
unconquerable industry, had illustrated the
highest spheres of executive, legislative, and
judicial service.
As Governor of New Hampshire, as her Sena
torial Representative in the National Councils ;
as the head of the departments of the Navy and
the Treasury, during the administrations of
General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, and final
ly as a member of the most important and im
posing judicial tribunal in our country, he had
uniformly exhibited talents of the most solid
and brilliant character, accompanied with un
varying purity of moral purpose, and adorned
by an unfading glow of true patriotism. Such
a citizen as Levi Woodbury was "invaluable to
any country and he felt prido and pleasure in
being permitted even thus briefly and inade
quately to bear his testimony to his merits, and
express his profound sorrow fcr his premature
death.
Nominations.
Hon. John C. Knox will be the nominee for
President Judge in the Clarion district and will
be elected. Hon. Thos. S. Bell has been unani
mously nominated for President Judge of Ches
ter county. An excellent selection. J. Ellis
Bonham, Esq., of Carlisle, has been nominated
for the Legislature and the , " Volunteer " s'.ys
his election is sure. ..He was a member of the
the last Legislature and an able debater and
unflinching Democrat W. W. Wise, Esq., edi
tor of the Ero'okville " Jeffersonian," a private
soldier through the Mexican campaign with the
"Cambria Guards," has been nominated for the
Legislature and wc know he will be successful
at the election. Wise is a clever and talented
young man and if the Democracy of Cambria
had an opportunity to vote for him he would
receive their undivided support.

Mexican John Strohm will not receive five votes in
Washington township for Canal Commissioner.
Clover will make a clean sweep of the whole
township. Not having voted against the sol
diers while suffering in Mexico they intend to
stand by him and vote against Strohm, who gave
" aid and comfort" to the enemy and was ready
and willing to welcome the Cambria Volunteers
with " bloody hands and hospitable graves."

On motion, Resolved, That Mr. Isaac. Kvns

The President briefly elated the object of the
meeting and several persons present made ap
propriate remarks, after which the ft.lWJnrr
prcamblc and resolutions were read and unani
mously adopted.
Whereas, a National Monument is now in pro
gress of erection in the city of Washington, to
the honored remembrance and noted virtues of
Gen. George Washington, and as donations
and material for its construction are solicited
and received from individuals, societies Rtt
and nations, and all countries and climes from
those who feel friendly to the undertaking and
as the Welsh citizens of the United States, through
the notice civen bv the Cpntri r
Utica, N. ., are desirous of thowina- thr-ir li
mitation of the "Father of his Country" by
purchasing a suitable Block to be placed in h
above named Monument. Therefor h u
Resolved, That we, the Welsh citizens of Ebens
burg and vicinity, many of us foreigners by birth,
others " born free," dearly value the political
and religious liberty guaranteed us by the laws
and institutions of. the country of the renowned
Washington.
Resolved, That although history informs us of
many devoted patriots, skillful politicians and
consummate generals, men alike patriotic and
virtuous, yet above all stands the name of
Washington, and with delight wc contemplate
the brilliant achievements of him who was " First
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen," and as his well known charac
ter is valued and praised in every part of the
world where Liberty exists, so we hope his name
will forever live to support the strong arms and
stout hearts of those who may in future ages do
glorious battle for the rights of man.
Resolved, That although late to assemble to
gether, many of our friends elsewhere having
already forwarded their contributions, we, in
the most cheerful and united manner, agree with
our friends throughout the Union to contribute
according to our abilities in obedience to the call
made upon us.
Resolved. That a Committee of seven be ap
pointed to solicit contributions in this town and
vicinity, and that a Treasurer and Corresponding
ocvrciar xrc appoint. ca 10 transact ail tne neces

Resolved, That the Committee make every ef
fort to collect money and report their success on
the third Saturday of the present month, and we
judge it not necessary for any person to contri
bute a greater amount than 25 cents, although
more or less may be subscribed if they choose.
Resolved, That the Treasurer and Correspon
ding Secretary be instructed to forward the
money as soon as collected to the Central Com
mittee at Utica, N. Y., and take a receipt for
the same.

Consistency.
The whig press throughout the State (says
the Pittsburg Dispatch,) arc very clamorous for
a representation in the canal board, and call
upon the democracy to vote for " honest John
Strohm," in order that they may be able to keep
an eye upon what goes on in tlie office of the
board. This sounds very fine but do the whigs
act up to their preaching or like boatmen look
one way and pull another ? Can they point to
au. instance where they allowed such views of
fairness to influence them in electing a democrat
when they could succeed in placing one of their
own party in power ?
Take our own county, for instance and when
did they ever place a democrat in the board of
county commissioners, or allow one to be put
there when they could help it? In the present
contest the democrats have nominated Capt. J.
D. W. White of Manchester for commissioner
a gentleman in every way qualified for the sta
tion, and against whom there can be no objec
tion. Let the whig press show their faith by
their works, and recommend their party friends
to give the democrats a representation by voting
for Mr. White for commissioner, and they may
catch some democratic and independent votes
for Strohm. Until they do this, wc must set
down their outcry upon this subject a3 pure
gammon.
Tlie True Spirit.
William Scaright, of Fayette county, who
was a prominent candidate for Canal Commis
sioner, in the Reading Convention, in a letter to
R. C. Hale, Esq., of Lcwistown, uses the fol
lowing language, which is highly creditable to
his democratic fidelity and consistency:
"Harvest being now over, I have gone to
work and will continue working, until the elec
tion, for the ticket, the whole ticket, and noth
ing but the ticket. Our friends in the southwest
have entered upon the campaign in good earnest,
and you may expect a good report from our lion
hearted democracy. I regard the usages of the
democracy as sound, and regular nominations
. as inviolable. I have iriven thirtv vcars of ser
vice to the cause of democracy, and I will devote
as many more years to that same just cause as
Providence will mete out to me of health and
strength. Yours very truly,
William Seabicut." .
Higgler in the JVortli.
An intelligent gentleman, who has travelled,
within the last two weeks, through considerable
portions of Northumberland, Lycoming, Clinton
and Clearfield counties, informs us, that of sev
eral hundred of whigs, with whom he conversed
upon the subject, only two of them ' declared
their intention to vote for William F. Johnston,
while the others are openly in favor of Bigler
and the Compromise. In Columbia county,
Colonel Joseph Taxton, heretofore one of the
staunchest and most influential whigs in the
State, openly repudiates Johnston and his Abo
litionism, and goes for Bigler and the Constitu
tion, while in Clarion, Mr. Benjamin Perry, well
known to our citizens as the " Iron King," ad
vocates the election of Bigler and Clover, with
all hi3 influence. So eocs the fnnd
Pottsville Emporium.
JRgy- The Columbus State Journal, the organ
of Ohio Whiggery, is laboring most manfully to
prove, by the records of Congress, that Mr.
Vinton, Whig candidate for Governor, is a3 good
an Abolitionist as Giddings himself, and we
must 6ay, in justice to its research, that it inake3
out a pretty strong case.
End or tlie Cuban Revolution.
The Captche of Lopez. Havana, Sept. 1st,
1851. General Don Narciso Lopez, Commander-in-chief
of the Republican forces, was taken
prisoner on the 29th of August, at or near San
Cristobal. He was secured hand and foot by
ropes, until some Spanish soldiers carac up to
the farm house where he was captured, and
then his hands were tightly bound behind him,
and he was hurried off to Bahia Honda, where
he was placed on board the steamer Pizarro.
At night on the 31st, Lopez was brought into
Havana, the Pizarro landing her prize at the
Moro.
The news of Lopez's capture arrived at Ha
vana late at nijrht on the 2'Jth, but was not made
public until the morning of the 30th.
It is said that it was brought to the Captain
Genera! by express, in four hours from San
Cristobal, distance 48 miles, and that four horses
were killed by the rider, such was his speed,
and that the Captain General paid him $2,000
for the service.
The Execution. At the fatal hour General
Lopez was brought out, and ascended the plat
form with a firm step. His person was envel
oped in a white shroud. The executioner then
removed the shroud, and there stood the General
in his full military uniform before the assembled
multitude.
His appearance was calm, dignified and heroic.
Not a muscle quivered. He looked upon the
preparations for death unmoved; his counte
nance changed not, and his whole bearing was
firm and manly.
The executioner now removed his embroidered
coat, his sash, cravat, and all the insignia of his
military rank, in token of disgrace.
General Lopez, with hi3 hands tightly bound
together in front, stepped forward, and in a
strong, clear voice, slowly spoke to those around
as follows:
" I pray the persons who have compromised
me to pardon me as I pardon them.
" My death will not change the destinies of
Cuba." The executioner, standing a little
behind, here interrupted him iu an insulting
tone, with " Come be quick, be quick."
General Lopez, turning his head partly around,
fixed his eye on the man, and said sternly, grit
ting his teeth, "Wait, Sir." He then contin
ued :
"Adieu, my beloved Cuba! Adieu, my
brethren!"
The General then stepped back, seated him
self on the stool. A priest with the crucifix and
taper stood on one side of him, the executioner
on the other. The collar was then placed around
the prisoner's neck. The priest now placed the
crucifix between the General's hands, and just
as he was in the act of inclining his head to kiss
it, the executioner swung the fatal screw, and
the head of the unfortunate man at the same
instant dropped forward, touching the crucifix.
He never moved again. There sat the body of
one of the bravest men that ever drew breath,
but a moment ago alive, now a ghastly corpse.
The execution was conducted in the most or
derly manner, and in perfect silence. No shout
ing or any other exhibition of applause was
manifest. Whether this was the result of the
news from New Orleans, or the express orders
of the Captain General, is not known.
Immediately after the execution, General
Lopez's body was taken down, and privately
buried.
Disastrous Effects or the Storm at
tlie South.
Mobile, Sept. 6. Accounts continue to be
received of the effects of the lute disastrous
storm.
Throughout Florida, and in Apalachicola par
ticularly, property to a large amount is de
stroyed. The latter place wears a gloomy aspect.
Off the coast of Florida a Spanish war steamer
was stranded and several lives lost.
Columbus, Ga., Sept. 6. A great storm swept
over the lower part of Georgia. Buildings and
crops were destroyed, and thousands of dollars'
worth of property were carried away.
The steamers Magnolia and Falcon were
wrcckel near that place.
Report that Eopez was Decoyed
to Cuba by a Stratc?cm.
Washington, Sept. 7. The Cabinet were to
gether to-day. I understand that from the
letters of three Spanish officers to Lopez, he
was decoyed to Bahia Honda by a stratagem of
Gen. Concha, and that tins discovery involves
a grave national question.
We are not officially advised ; but, according
to report, this qucstiou has been under consid
eration by the Cabinet to-day. The subject cre
ates considerable excitement here.
Cuban Movements.
Charleston, Sept. 5, 1851 A private letter
from Jacksonville, Fa., dated Sept. 2, states
that the Pampero arrived there 011 the morning
of the 1st, for troops that have been waiting
there three months. One hundred volunteers
were to have gone on board on the evening of
the 2d inst.
Gen. Gonzales is still in this city. He has had
nothing to do with the Pampero expedition.
!
Blockade of the Mississippi.
New Orleans, Sept. 5. The U. S. steamer
Ve xin sailed from Pensacola on the 3d instant
to blockade the mouth of the Mississippi, and
intercept any expedition that may attempt to
leave with a view of invading Cuba.
The Vixen has been lying at Pensacola for
several days past undergoing repairs, but the
pressing nature of her orders has compelled her
to leave without finishing them, and but one of
her boilcra arc fit for use.
A Washington letter to the Journal of
Commerce says: "It is a remarkable, but not
well known fact that, in the archives of our
Government, we have an engagement made, in
Jackson's administration, between the United
States, England and France, to the effect that
Cuba shall not be Beized by cither party, and
that Spain shall remain in undisturbed posses
sion of the Island."
Ireland.
It appears that, notwithstanding the emigra
tion of the people, there has been an increase
of cultivation during the year 1850 to the ex
tent of 214,000 acres, and an addition to the
live stock on the various farms, equal to a mo
ney value of 1,230,000. This growth of pros
perity has resulted from the steady diminution
that has been going on in the number of smal
lings, and the introduction of British capital.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVE Bf TIE MEIS
New Yoek, Sept. 8
- The Steamship Franklin, from Havre tin
Southampton, 27th and 28th ult., bringing fiTp
days later news from the confiaent, and four
days later from England, arrived here abou
half past ten o'clock this morning. Her newj

The American steamship arrived out in (in

Th ree American steamers, the Baltic, Pacific

Minister and other notables weere present
The Queen and Prince Albert also bestowel
the most lively attention on the race, anj tlie
day after expressed a desire to visit the Ameri

Osborne House. The America won another race

not declared entitled to it however, having pre.
viously formally withdrawn from the contest.
Great preparations were making for the jour
ney of the Queen to the North.
Parliament will be further prorogued on the
4th of November. The Queen will visit Man
chester and the adjoining towns of SalfurJ ou
the 10th of October.
IRELAND.
There is great agitation in Ireland, and a cri
sis is thought to be at hand. The trouble is
owing to the violent action of the R
olic Defence Association. Some of the Irish
Bishops were to be prosecuted bv the o-.ivr,,.
ment, for assuming illegal titles in contra vnt;
of the Ecclesiastical Title Bill. This proceeding
would probably drive the Catholic tlisfrit t
rebellion.
FRANCE. ;
The French Ambassador, at Madrid, has pro

The Garrote.
The garrote is a mode of punishment in Spain,
by strangulation. The victim is seated upon a
stool, behind which is a post to which is affixed
an iron collar with a screw. This collar clasps
the throat of the victim, and one turn of the
screw produces immediate strangulation, It is
stated by some, also, that a sharp, broad blade
is inserted in the post, and that when the screw
is turned the knife penetrates the back of the
neck and severs the spinal chord. This produ
ces as instant death as a bullet shot through
the heart, and must deprive the victim of all
sense of pain.
California Wheat.
Mrs. Farnham, of California, has sent the
editor of the New York Evening Tost a sample

very long, full and heavy, weighing at the rate
of about four to the ounce, and the crop of
twenty-five acres is expected to yield one hun
dred bushels to the acre. The sample pent
wears the golden livery of the country, but is a
far more favorable omen of California's pros
perity than anything which sha has ever pro
duced before.
