WILMOT in HUNTINGDON
We have the pleasure of announcing to ar
readers that Judge Wilmot, the man who Mr.
Packer refused to meet on the stump, will ad-
dress the people of Huntingdon County, in the
Borough of Huntingdon, on
Friday Afternoon, September 4, 1857.
Come one and all, and tat us have 0 gather
ing together of the masses, to hear this able
and eloquent champion of the right.
Judge Wilmot will also speak in Holliday,
burn. on Saturday morning, September .5, end
du something desperate over our neglecting to
notice their nominations lost week, we will give
them the 1.1104 of a nottee. The fact is we
did not think it worth while to publish no mis•
eruide an abortion, an their ticket is, But we
will give it a place:
For Assembly—Dr. Houtz, or Alexandria;
Register—.fns. If. Carothers, Morris; Prothoin
Mary, David Caldwell, Cromwell ; Treasurer,
John IT. Lightner, Shirleysburg ; Commission.
or, Thomas Ozborn, Jackson ; Director of the
Poor, James Murphy, Petersburg ; Auditor, J.
M. Stoneroad, Birmingham.
Of Dr. Houtz, we know little personally.--
Politically, it is sullicient.for us to know that he
is an uncompromising, dyed.iu.the•woof, Pierce
Luc o foe o, and as such, we shall oppose
his election to the bitter end. We know fur•
thcr, that he has always voted with and thereby
endorses. the sentiments of teen who stigmatise
the poor laborers of Huntingdon County, who
toil and sweet fur their daily bread, as "small
fisted farmers," 'greasy mechanics," tied "M.
thy operatives." We know further, that Dr.
Houtz owes his nomination to such, men as An.
derson Sr Co., and is consequently the toot rf a
toot of a mammoth corporation, which is seek•
lug to defraud the State of a heavy revenue,
and fill the pockets of leeelies nod bloodsuckers
with a portion of Sit,ooo,lloo proposed to be
subscribed to a "one-horse railroad." We know
further, that the abeve named firm has been
working sccretely for weeks, to secure the no.
mination of a candidate who will, if elected,
be a mere mouth-piece fur that firm. These
things we do know, but there is one thing we
are not "booked up" in, viz: how much money
the Pennsylvania Railroad has appropriated to
secure the election of Dr. Houtz? We venture
to assert, however, the amount is not inconsid
erable. Perhaps, a calculation, based on th e
amounts payed to delegates who attended the
Convention with the avowed determination of
voting for Gen. Speer, tint wino, after entering
the Convention, toreed a somersault into the
support of Dr. Houtz, might bring us to some
sort of an answer, and perhaps not. Dr.
Houtz may be a very good physician. but we
will be greatly mistaken if the pill ha is wak
ing up under direction of his employers,. will
nut turn on his stomach, and sicken the whole
crew.
Messrs. Carothers, Osborn, and Stoneroad,
are unknown to us, and to all others outside of
their neighborhoods. But they are Locofocos.
David Caldwell has men "Sam" in his day,
and we are informed, became a renegade from
Know Nothingism to secure his nomimtion.—
We pity the indiscretion of the youth, and can
not for the life of us "spank" him any farther.
A year or so ago he could bawl and yell against
the "dirty Locofocos," and throw up his but
for • Samuel," and shout hosannas to the "star
be-spangled banner," and whistle Yankee Doo
dle with the best "3d degree" American, but
now—oh I ye gods and litttle fishes, what a de•
scent is there—he strikes hands with "the per
neuters of his country and his faith. "The
dog has returned to bis voinit," and the female
swim that was washed to her wallowing.
John H. Lightner, the lottery man, is, we
believe, the Yam "itidiwidoonl" who ran "his
nose bi the butter" last fall, when he was "sot"
up no in candidate for Assembly. and Wintrodo
math: a "ten strike" against him. Set up the '
pins again, and see what a Lane we'll make.—
As Mr. Lightner has met with such success in
his late lotteries or "gift distributions!" we pre• '
same if elected Treasurer, he will establish one
on a grand scale.
Jas. Murph, was formerly steward of the
poor house, and is nn out.andmut Locofoco.
Gen. William H. Koontz.
We tmday place at our mast head the name
of this gentleman, of Somerset County, as our i
candidate for Senator.
Gen. Koontz is a gentleman, in every sense
of the word, an able lawyer and a man of in•
fluei.ce. We but speak the sentiments of the
people of Huntingdon County when we declare
that we slmli roll up a majority for the General
that will astonish "the frosty sons of thunder"
of old Somerset.
Whilst we cannot but feel and believe that
our county was fairly and honorably entitled to
the Senator, and knowing that we presented a
candidate fur nomination whose claims were
maLifild and just, and who was the unanimous
choice of our people, yet we can cheerfully nc•
(pliesco in the decision of the Conference when
an honorable, high minded and talented gentle•
man as Gen. Koontz, is selected as the nom'.
We will wager a "bran new hat" with our
friends Scull and Over that "old Mother Hun
tingdon" will give a larger gain over the usual
Opposition vote, for . lioontz, than Somerset or
Bedford. What sny you, boys?

HEAVY V. enter.—A very heavy verdict was
rendered in favor of the plu,:titiff in the case of
Patrick Kelly vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, tried at the August Term of Cuert
in this County It will be remembered, that
some three years ago, a child of the plaintiff
received severe injuries, causing the nmpuht•
lien of his leg, by being run over by a train of
cars on said road, whilst he was attempting to
cross. This case excited great interest in the
community, and particularly on account of the
conflieting testimony offered. The conductor
and two brukesmeu of the train which caused
the accident, swore positively that the boy had
ample mom to cross without going under the
cars, whilst some eight or ten of our very best
citizens swore as positively that the child could
not have crossed in any other manner than ho
did, as the road was entirely blocked up by the
cars. The jury • awarded a verdict of $3OOO
damages.

He was buried in the poorhouse burying place.

At 25 minutes betbre one o'clock today.
DAvin STRINGER WKINt paid the penalty of
violated law for the murder it S. T. Noncuoss.
of which he was convicted in May last. Our
usually quiet borough has been crow - ied to ex
cess and a perfect whirl of excitement. Shea
curly yesterday people of all ages nod sexes
have teen pouring into town from every qua,
let, nut as great was the rush last night, that
many could nut get beds, and were compelled
to‘'hang up" on the tables chairs and floors.—
This morning the crowd Was vastly nugmen
and excitement ran high. Business was
almost wholly suspended.
The Sherilf was greatly annoyed by the des.
ire of the curious and morbid to got admis.
sion into the jail yard and witness the cxecu•
tion. But few however gained en entrance,—
There are three military companies on duty
around the prison to preserve order.
This.morning at about six o'clock, the con
demned attempted to commit suicide, by cut
ting the coitus on his wrist with a piece of glass
wh'elt he procured somehow for the purpose.'
lie bled pretty freely for a short time, but his
attendants soon discovered what he bed done
and bound up the wound and prevented any
serious result. Ile was closely watched to
prevent any further attempt of the kind. lie
had prepared n manuscript statement with
the view of rending it on the gallows, but this
morning inn fit of rage he tore it to pieces.—
When his attempted suicide and the destroy
ing of this paper became known amongst the
people outside, it created a great sensation
and the excitement ran very high. h was
generally supposed the statement would eon
lain nn admission of his guilt, and its destrue.
tion occasioned mach disappointment.
He was led out of prison and ascended the
scaffold at fifteen minutes before ten o'clock.
Ho assumed a bald and hardened appearance,
and exhibited but little evidence of being at
all seriously affeeted. He made a speech from
the gallows of over an hour in length, denying
most emphatically that he was guilty of the
crime of which he was condemned, and dee'a •
ring with his last breath' that he died an
innocent man. ATTICKS anti another
witness, he said, had perjured themselves, and '
sworn away his life on the trial. Its allusion
to his attempted suicide, he said he had hi en
temped to act by the Devil. If he had sue
ceded he would surely have gone to hell; but
lie had now male his peace with God. and his
"election" was "sure." He preserved his ;sing
fraid to the last.
At twenty-five mintnes before one the drop

into eternity, and thus ended the earthly career

Messrs, Brewster and Whittaker
Since the political campaign has opened in
this comity, there has been much excitement
in our parts OR ReCOURt of the nominations Of
the Union Convention. There appears to he
the greatest unanimity with respect to Levi
Evans, Esq., of this place, for Assembly. Ted
township will give him an overwhelming ma
jority. We poll •100 votes, and will be able to
give him from 250 to 300 majority. Both 'par
ties, Democrat and Opposition will support
him. We hove the some assurance from Cass
and many other townships around us. The
Democrskts agree that they are ns badly sc Id in
their Convention as'we were, and their princi
pal men say that they will not support their
ticket. The news from the upper portion of
the county is no less cheering. The people of
Barren are loud in their denunciations of both
Conventions. We will post you up in matters
as time Tolls by.
