clRcUMsTANcIAL EVIDENCE.

The Liverpool Mercury of April 3,
gives an account, Of the conviction OF
four men, James Ashcroft; David Ash
croft, James Ashcroft, ir. and William
Holden, twenty FIVE years ago, upon cir
cumstancial evidence, Of the murder of
two females. These men were all duly
executed, although they all protested
their innocence on the trial, and were
so confident Of an acquittaI that they re-
fused TO employ counsel. When SEN
tence of death was pronounced upon
them, James Ashcroft Sr. exclaimed,
"this is numbering US in cold blood
God will reveal this injustice. We are
all innocent. Twill declare it 10 the
last" David Ashcroft invoked God to
reveal the murderer, and declared his in.
nocence in the same manner. James
Ashcroft, the younger, said, 4'lf ! suffer

God would not allow the injustice done
10 them to be always unknown. These.
exclamStiOns were stopped by the Judge.
On the following Monday, at the place Of
execution, they all continued to declare
their innocence. David Ashcroft said,

NOMINATION CONVICTIONS

Tue demociacy Of several cOnntiss
in the State have already held their
cOnveaiions and nominated candidates
for the October election. In this county
no effectual movement has yet been
made. We hope our friends will not
delay action much longer. As it is usu'
al for the central committee TO appoint
the time Of holding county conventions, it
would be desirable and convenient II
they would de so this year. A call is
aExCusly looked for by many OF our
friends, who will act without it, ifit be
not made soon. The Batavia Ohio Sun
proposes that the Congressional and SEN
atorial conventions be held at Fayett-
vile on Friday the 18th Of August, com.
mencing early enough in the morning to
hold both on the same day. This will
probably be the best plan that can be
adopted. The township meetings may
appoint delegates to the district and
county conventions at the same time
and the county convention may be held
after the district conventions. But We
shall make no more suggestions until
we hear from the Central Committee
who are too much separated 10 consult
or be consulted with facility. A week
or two may be required to come to some
conclusion on the subject.
