u The Liberty Party, so called, have been
holding a national convention at Buffalo,
They made the following nominations
James G. Birney, Of Michigan. for President;
Thos. Morris, of Ohio, for Vice President of
the United States. The Gazette says that
the convention took a final and decided stand
that they would treat a part of the constitu-
tional law of the land as a nullity and Of no
binding force.
We suppose the law alluded to is that re-
curing the delivery of fugitive slaves, which
the convection intends to disregard, or rather
take the l%awIinto their own hands and become
practical lynchers.

Santa FIJI TRADEHs.-We copy the latest
intelligence from the Far West, from the BIT.
Louis Era Of the 18th ult.
A merchant of Independence, WHO was in
this city yesterday, informs us that he has
received letters from Santa Fe of the 10Th
July, and from "Fort William" (Bent 4. st.
Vrain's Fort) of the LIST Of August. Gov. Ar
milo, the letters from Santa Re state, had g.
turned to that place, after the defeat Of his
advanced guard by the Texans. So soon
however as he heard of the capture of the
TEXANS by Capt. Cooke, he made an effort to
re-organize a force, 10 march for the protection
Of the Traders, but he failed to obtain men
for the expedition. The letters from Fort
William spoke very confidently Of the safety
Of the Santa Fe Caravan, from the attacks OF
TEXANS or others. Col. Warfeld, with some
twenty men, was still proving about the
plains. but no danger was apprehended from
that quarter.
The second Caravan Of Traders left indie
pendence on Thursday last. There we're a.
bout It's wagons in company, under the es-
cort Of three companies Of U. s, Dragons,
commanded by Capt. Cooke. Il Is not yet
known how far the military escort would &C.
company them, that being made to depend
upon circumstances.
The Expositor, a paper published at Inds-
pendente, Mo, contains o letter from Fort
William, dated August g, which confirms
what IL said above relative to Armilo and to
the safety of the Santa Fs Caravan. 1t also
states, that when the news of the capture Of
a party Of Mexicans, by the TEXANS, reach.
ed Santa Pc, there was the greatest excite.
ment. The foreigners were much abused
as"tbey made no distinction between Ameri-
cans and Texans. Lee and Beaubien, of T'olis,
narrowly escaped with life from the mob.
The house of the latter was plundered of
most Of It's contents. Other Americans were
tried and othea wise i'll treated. From the last
information from Santa Fe, Ariniio was in
great danger, and there we're strong eymp-
toms of a revolution against the government.

SHERIFF SALEs.-The press, with one OF
two exceptions, have condemned the present
law relative to Sheriff Sales. We have con.
demned the. law that confined the advertise.
mert Of valuable property to the door of n
groggery or a Court House, but we have new.
or attempted any argument to show the evil
tendency OF such shortssighted policy, OF
" save a penny and lose a pound economy
1t is an evil that must sooner or later
work out it's own ruin, and thus correct itself
Thus far, the Speculation, and the shyIorke,
that prowl about every community, to devour
the substance of the orphan sand the widow,
have been benefited. The Bank, the soul
less corporation, has bought up the property
of the debtor for a song, eren before the debtor
has knoon that it was offered for salc, thus
enhancing the rich and making the poor
poorer. Most detestable law that has Grip
pied the press, and taken away its powersto
inform the community of lis interests, and
bring that fair competition, which should al
ways exist where justice is obtained todebitor
and creditor. We are led to make these re.
marks from the pernsal Of a short editorial in
the Bayou Sara Ledger, which contains one
of the most powerful rebukes to the law of
which we complain, That we have seen; and
it is the more severe because it seems to
have been thrown off witout a full knowledge
Of its force.
We call the attention of our readers par
ticularly, 10 the latter portion of it, relative
TO the characters that are seen around the ad-
vertisements as they are now promulgated:
Frequent complaints from our subscrib-
ers about the inefliciency of the mode of
advertising legal sales which has been prae-
tissd for some time past, under the wise dis
pensalion of the Legislature on the subject,
has induced the publisher TO make arrange
ments with the Sheriff for the publication of
his sales in future. Our subscribers. will
be enabled to attend to their inter-
ests in this matter without travelling in.
search of the "Court House door," or other
public places" which have rece ntly been
haunted by shrewd spectators, and f~orlorn
and creditors, to such a degree as
to fix suspicion of Interior designs upon all
who visit them, and to those who are not
subscribers to the Ledger, can either become
such or borrow of their neighbours

Sellers in Western Virginia-The Par
kersburg Gazette of the 23d instant saws:

"Near forty German emigrants have ar
rived at this place within the last two or
three days, destined for a section of country
some thirty-fve miles above this place, on
the Little Kanawha River. That these emil
grants will be satisfied with the land there
we have not the slightest doubt. w have
been Informed by persons living in the neigh
borhood that the upland is of the best
quaIity-excellent for wheat-and that it is
we'll watered. Satisfied as we are that as
90 d bargains can be obtained in this section
of Western Virginia as in any other part of
the country, we are gratifed TO see these
people about to settle here. We are conf
dent others will soon follow; for when those
now here find that they have not been
deceived, their friends will be a~pprized of it
induced TO purchase lands here, instead
of going further west and faring worse"

duty of a journalist TO chronicle whatever of
Importance or interest takes place in his

as we stated two weeks ago and we defy con-
tradietiof, our city maintains the proud name
Of being the flealtliest town on the Missis-
sippi, aye, in the United States, such an
nouncements are injurious to the prosperity

country are afraid of venturing TO Baton

passed by sickness, we have heard several
speak OIL the subject, some from over the

days ago to the Penitentiary, enquired of tho
clerk if there was any danger ia going in.
as he had been informed there was a great
deal of sickness in. town. Such articles ap.

A case of CrueAy-Mr. Wentworth, the
editor of Chicago Democrat, lately elected to
Congress from Illinois, in describing the OBJ
stacles TO his success, says:
We lost about 300 votes for Congress be-
cause we were an old bachelor and the only
wonder is, that we did not lose more on this
account. But the cruelty of the whole mat
ter is, that, while some were opposing US
because we were unmarried, others because
they believed the story that we were in the
habit Of uhippiag our riff.

JHE Observation-Disclosures of an inter.
estlng character have recently been made.
at Rochefort, France, with a newly inven.
ted instrument, constructed as follows: A
thin plateof wood, three or fonr inches lone.
Is suspended so as 10 vibrate freely, like the
needle OF a magnet on a pivot of steel, bv
means ola cup Of agate inserted in the
wood. AT one extremity Of the wooden
plate, extending about one third of it's
length, is a ~flssnre, IN which are adjusted
three or tohr magnets, ranged in a strait
line, at The distance, one from another Of
half an inch. These magnets are yerv
light, made Of watch springs Strengthened
and cut in small pieces, and varying in
length from Two to three inches. They are
in a direction perpendicularto the hofison.
Consequently their polarity is neutralized;
but the south pole of each is made TO point
below, and its North pole abovethe plane
of the wooden plate. The, instrument,
when placed on a table, in u room, and IN.
der shelter Of a glass bell, at the expiration
of some seconds takes the direction
of the prevailing wind.-the end
furnished with magnets acting the same
part as the point of a vane.
The experiments made with this ~instru.
ment suggest some interesting inductions,
both in reference 10 the connection of mag.
netism with electricity, and to the proba.
bility that variable winds are the result of
electric currents. But that which gives
to the invention its highest value is, per-
haps, the fact that it indicates any ap-
preaching change in the direction Of the
wind, from a quarter to half an hour before
its actual occurrence, just as the barometer
indicates changes inthe weather.

The PIcAYUNE of Tuesday contains the
following well.merited remarks, on the de.

THB LATE PAUL BERTus.-The eoneeurse
of citizens who followed the remains Of this
lamented gentleman to the grave yesterday
afternoon was unusually large, and numbered
among it the Mayor and members of the sew
eral Councils, the masonic Society, the mem.
bers Of the Louisiana Legion, and the Protee-
ton Hose Company. The New Orleans
Guards, of which the deceased had been cap
tain, bore the corpse on their shoulders to
the tl-ehamber.
Poor Bertns we had ample opportunity for
the last five or six years past Of watching
his judicial conduct, and we found it ever
marked by the attributes Of Justice and mer-
cy. IN his decisions he paid little attention
to " The books or legal techniealities-in.
deed, evidence il elf he disregarded when he
thought it did not come from a pure source.
But if ever any person attempted 10 make
the law All engine of persecution he had 10
seek out some other than Recorder Bettus
to put it IN operation.
Whena poor, houseless, homeless, money
less creature was dragged before him by
some Of the Dogberry's ia office, he did moi
exhibit any traits of refined ingenuity in per-
seeution-he did not stretch him out on The
Procrustean bed Of the vagrant law, and
contract It or expand it to govern his case
but placing more reliance on the marks of
labor than The belief of a policeman, he would
say, "hold upyour hands, sir" If the rough
evidences Of labor were on them, the prisoner
was Immediately discharged, however bad his
character might be in the eyes of The police,
for he rightly believed that labor and yagran.
cy were incompatible.
May that mercy which he was wont to show
be extended TO him by the Judge who iudgeth
all.
