COUNTY TICKET,
County whix Convention.

In another column will be found an ad-
dress ofihc State Wing Central Committee
recommending the respective counties of
the State to hold NEE tings and send dele
gates to State Convention to be held in
indianapolis on Thursday, the 3rd day Of
May next, for the purpose Of nominating
candidate for Governor, in the place OF
Judge Embree, declined. 1t is important
that the empire county should be repre-
sented in that convention, and that steps
should be taken Immediately to get up a
county meeting for the purpose Of appoint
ing delegates; we therefore, would res
pectiully recommend that a meeting be
held in Centreville, on Saturday, the 2Gth
instant.
1t is essential to the success Of the party
and its principles that we should have a
people, and to secure such man as our
candidate, every section OF the State should
be fully represented. Our people have
their preferences-others have theirs, and
as members Of the great family we should
meet and council together for the common
good.
We hope meeting will be held at the
time proposed, and that it may be numer.
ously attended, and respectable delega-
ton sent to the State Convention What
say our friends Of the Wing and Of the
Reveille!

Gen. Taylor Nnd the California Bill.

Taylor had expressed "desire," that
Congress should adopt. the proposition
made in the Senate by Mr.. Walker, Of
Iowa. in reference to California, and al.

being satisfied that they misrepresen,ed

them as follows:
II was very natural that the President

the friends Of the country, anxiously de. |
sire that some law should pass CONGRESS-
TO enable the Executive to govern Califor.

and bloodshed which have disgraced the
new territories in their present state Of un-
bribled anarchy; to subject the people. and !
especially the multitudes now proceeding
to the gold region, to the salutary restraints
Of law and order; and to redeem our

\ Horrible ExEcUTIoN.-Thee execu-
ton of a. +. Tyler took place Oh the 26th
uh.. in Bryan, Williams county. Ohio
The scene that attended i, is shocking:
Tyler had at all times insisted that he
should be executed without any slack of
rope. The Sheriff gave him first only
about one foot Of slack.-The instan, the
drop was sprung. the prisoner slightly
crouched his body: by this means the moose
slipped around. bringing the kno, i.nne-
diately under his chin. in such a position
that with his short fall it did not tighten at
ali, consequently he was merely suspended
by the neck Probably his first slight fall
suspended sensation and respiration tenn
porarly, for he hung quietly for a time, but
this suspension was only temporary, it is
certain that nothing like strangulation was
produced. He soon recovered his bre ath
and commenced groaning and struggling
as if suffering excruciating torture.
The spectacle at this moment was too
revolving to witness; we noticed manv who
had thought and said that they could look
on his expiring agonics with hearty good
will. who turned away from the sight with
blanched cheeks and looks Of comm ssera-
ton. The Sheriff. learning the situation
fold 10 be raised, and no sooner was this
done than he was upon it. and taking Tyler
by the hand. directed him to stand on his
feet. which he was able to do without as
sistance. Aided by Gen Gibson. the
Sheriffthen proceeded to lengthen the rope,
giving it four feet slack.
Tyler still fervensy begged them 70
shorten instead Of lengthcn it, but he was
told that his wishes could no longer be re-
gariei. During this time Ex-Sherif Gun.
ninghan passed up the stairs. and taking
Tylers hand, inquired if he still asserted
his innocence He replied. II am inno-

all others having left the scaffold, the Sher-
iff took his hand, and again babe him fare

sumes million Of feet OF pine log. year
and band and wire iron in proportion
The machinery is all Of the latest and
improved description, and the asssidious

ley. seems to be determined that he shall
not waste any time. The facility and rs-
pidi'y with which the pals are now made.
are in striking contrast with the slow and

praciised few years since. And the

as striking as the celebrity with which il 10
