Hon. Richard Coulter.

We extract the following from an arti-
Gle in the Philadelphia Statesman of the
9th July:
lesSrS Editors As apropos in the
present phase Of the discussion of the Ju-
dicial nominations of the respective par
ties, | subscribe few lines, which will
effectually expose the hypocrisy of the OBJ
lection urged against the distinguished ju-
rist, whose name heads this article. The
Pe'ensylnanlan in speaking of the Wing
nominations for Judges said-"Judge
Coulter was, it is true, the appointment of
Governor Skunk, an act chich created
much surprise at tie time"
The best commentary upon this re-
markable assertion may be found in the
following article copied from the Peansw-
raaaian published and edied by the same
person at the time of Judge Coulter's ap-
pointment:
APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR
Hon. Richard Coulter, of Westmore-
land County, to be Associate Judge of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in
the room of the Hon. John Kennedy,
deceased. The gentleman whose ap-
pointment is announced above, is one of
the most distinguished lawyers in Wes-
tern Pennsylvania. For many years at
the head of the bar of Westmorcland
County-as her representative in the
State Legislature, and as member of
Congress, he is well known and appre-
cieted. Mr.. Coulter resides in Greens
burg, Westmoreland county, and none
more satisfactory could have been made
from the powerful bar of the West"

ProgresS of NashYiIIe.

In ten years the population of Nash
Vile, Tenn, has swollen from nine thou
sand, some hundreds, to nearly seventeen
thousand This is the result or internal
improvements, turnpikes and railroads
Speaking of "croakers," the Banner tri-
umphantly says-"Ten years ago, they
thought property out of all character too
high, and were waiting for it to fall =
Ten years ago the value of taxable prop
erty in the city proper was s3,251 ,275-
it is now S5,672, $50, and besides this,
South Nashville, Edgefeld, and other
dense suburbs outside of the corporation
lines, but yet all constituting one eontin-
uous town, have wholly sprung up within
this period. Were all this property list
ed, it would probably amount to $500,
600. Nashville has caught up with Mo-
bile twice its size ten years ago! Passed
Reading and Wheeling, and Bangor, and
Wilmington, and Alexandria, and other
cities, which were far in advance of it
ten years ago. Nearly caught the IA
nous manufacturing town 0f Lynn, and
the more famous old city of Hartford
which were then half as large again
and old Utica and New Haven, which
were twice its size, whilst Norfolk and
other places then nearly as large as two
of it, are left far in the back ground"

Opening 0F the Campaign.

The political campaign is now fairly open
cd. The respective parties are marshaling
their forces for the contest, and fierce strug-
gle may be anticipated Gov. JOHNSTON has
already taken the field, and we learn that it is
his intention to canvass the entire State, min
gle with and talk to the people, in order that
they may thoroughly understand his views,
and vote knowingly and understandingly.-
This was the course pursued by him in the
memorable campaign of l948, and which re-
suited in his success and the triumph of Wing
principles in the old Keystone. The same
course now viii, we hope, be productive of
similar glorious results. Gov JOHNSTON is
an open, honest, frank man, and proclaims
his views on all subjects without equivoca-
ton, evasion or concealment Prepossessing
in appearance, strong in intellect, and pow
erful and eloquent speaker. wherever he
moves among THE PEOPLE he viii make hosts
of warm friends

Caution TO ladies

A Cincinnati paper states that DR..
Muzzey was one day last week called on
to perform singular operation upon
the head of young lady living on John
Street 1t appeared that she had been
in the habit of twisting and tying her
hair SO tightly that the scalp had become
parted from the scull, and it was found
necessary to open the scalp to remove the
matter which had accumulated beneath.
This is the first case Of the kind We have
ever known.

Arrested on "a Charge of Murder,

A man by the name Of Gaullagher was
arrested in Carbondale last Friday, and
passed through this borough on the even
ing Of the same day in the custody of the
officers of the law from Columbia Co. n
Y, on the way to Hudson, where he is
to be tried. The facts as far as we could
learn from report are these: Some ten
years ago man of the same name as the
one arrested, was at work for a farmer
III Columbia Co. near Hudson, and a ped
lar came along and stopped over Sunday
with the farmer. Gaullagher and the
pedlar were left in charge of the house
on Sunday while the farmer and his family
were gone to church. When they return
ed, they found the pedlar murdered in
the house, and Gaullagher missing Last
spring, some persons from the neighbor-
hood of the farmer were on a visit to
friends in Carbondale, and saw Gaulla-
cher. and believed him to be the murder
er of the pedlar. On their return home,
the farmer in company with another
person came on to Carbondale, and after
lying about there few days, without
making any enquiry that would excite
suspicion of their object, discovered Gal
lagher, who was Immediately recognized
by the farmer, as the person who had
/ been left with the pedlar on the Sunday
referred to. They returned to procure
requisition from the Governor of New
York, we suppose on the Governor of this
State, for Gaullagher, and came on and
arrested him and took him off as above
related The description furnished of
Gaullagher's person was accurate, with
the exception of that of his teeth which
were described as wider than they really
are. 1t is said that he has lived in Car
bondale 9 years. He is an Irishman
about 30 years old, and has wife and
family in Carbondale whom he was not
permitted to see after his arrest. 1t is
also said that his son followed and over
took the stage some 6 miles from Carbon
dale and offered his father some money,
but he refused to accept Of it, telling his
son with some sharpness, to 60 back and
attend to his own business, that he did
not want any of his money.-H0"c~lafe

Women IS Field Laborers.

Mr.. Greeley, in one of his letters from
Savoy, thus speaks of the condition OF
women in that country:
think | saw quite as many women,
as men at work in the fields throughout
Savoy. \ girl of fourteen driving a
yoke of oxen attached to cart, walking
barefoot beside the team and plying the
goadstiek while a boy of her own age
lay at length in the cart, is one of my
liveliest recollection of Savoyard ways
Nut brown, unbonneted women, hoeing
cornt with an implement between an adze
and pick axe, (and not bad implement,
either, for so rugged and unplowed soil, J
women driving hogs, cows, &c, to or from
market, we encountered at every town. So
much hard rough work and exposure is
fatal to every trace of beauty, and l do
not remember to have seen woman in
Savoy even moderately good looking,
while many were absolutely revolving
That this is not Natures fault is proved
by the general aspect of the children,
who, thought swarthy, have often good
forms and features.

LocOf0cO Robbery Of the State
Works.

1t is charged by the Harrisburg Daily
American, that the Canal Commissioners
gave free tickets to the Locofoco Dele
gates to the Reading and Harrisburg
Conventions, that passed over the State
works, and charged the Wing Delegates
If this be true, it is direct robbery of
the State Treasury of that amount No
State officer has a right to charge one
party and let the other pass free over the
public works. 1t is an outrage of so gross
a character that it demands an invcstiga-
ton.

New Paint.

A valuable discovery has been recently
made in Norristown. The T" Herald d Free
Press, says it was found on the property of
Mr. JAcoB FREEDLEY, while excavatlng at
the Distillery he is now erecting. 1t consists
of new material for painting, somewhat of
the nature of the celebrated "Ohlo paint, but
like all other things found in our State, tt-
tie better. 1t is near the color of Spanish
Brown, and has been ground much finer
After being ground, it has an oily feeling
when taken in the hand, and possesses no
grit whatever, but is almost as fine as wheat
-four Some of our best painters have given
it as their opinion, that it appears exceedingly
well adapted for every kind of painting, In or
out of doors--a quality believe not possessed
by the Ohio paint The Ohio paint when
used on outside painting will become very
hard, and act us a preservatve against fire,
and it is supposed that this article will also
become hard on exposure to the atmosphere.
The great beauty of the discovery is that the
amount CidC Can oe ootdl'eu 00oiio " n"'0

it. How ample must indeed be the resources
of Pennsylvania. Scarcely year goes by
but some new developement is made from
the deep recesses of her hidden stores.

most every thing else we need, and all these
in vast quantities and in numerous depsoits.

We have already noticed the Address of
the Harrisburg Convention, to the Democracy,
in relation to their Judicial ticket. The Adj
dress is the production of JAMES MADISON
PORTER, aud is a reproduction of the same
style of political documents that characterized
the Porter Administration, SO bepraised by
the party when in its days of prosperity,
and so detested by the people of the State,
for its profigacy, extravaganza, and utter
want of principle and honesty. The York
Republican, closes a notice of the document
as follows:
This address, like some other reptiles, has
sting in its tail. Its last sentence about
Judicial ticket is vile and infamous calumny.
Read it,
"PaSt experience has shOwn the danger 10
be dpprehended from Judiciary, IN the
hands Of orr opponents, and the perfect safe
ty with whichthe administration ofjustice can
be trusted to the judges selected by the Dem
ocratic party" @
Where are the proofs ofthis atrocious libel
which we are 10th to believe that any other
man than he who was mean enough to be
JOHN TYLER'S Secretary would be so base as
to write! We know no Wing who ever,
on appointment of brother, ascended the
bench in high party times to screen the
indicted friends of that brother, from con-
viction, and having acted the tyrant and
accomplish the object, deserted the Judge
ship which he had disgraced. *-The names
MCLEAN, and a host of others illustrious
in the Judicial history of this country,
furnish sufficient reply. to the gross asper-
sion cast npon the Wings and Whig incum-
bents of the bench in the foul and false ex-
tract which we have quoted from this Harris
burg Address which commences with hypoc-
risy and flattery, and appropriately ends with
malicious SANDER

0LF Locofoco papers boast of their hostility
to State debt The official records of the
Commonwealth show that all the debt now
in existence was created under Opposition
Administrations. The evidence is overwhel-
ming, that when they had power they abused
it most scandalously by putting burthens on
the people instead of taking them off. Last
winter eVen-not sir months GgO-a Loco
foco House of Representatives passed a bill
providing for LOAN at five per cent. of
S250,000 and for an ACTUAL. INCREASE
of the public debt to that amount Put this
practic along side of their profession, and
you will see what reliance to place on Locofo-
co promises.-Daily American.

Case Extraordinary.

About six weeks since, John II. Taylor, of
Edgemont, Delaware county, Pa. was severe
ly wounded by the bursting of his gun. The
breech blew out, struck him on the forehead,
between the corner of the eye and nose, ma
king wound that was for several days con-
sidered dangerous. He recovered slowly and
was able to 60 out upon his farm and give di-
rections about his business. A few days since,
DR.. Aitken discovered that the breech of the
gun was in Mr.. Taylor's forehead, having
passed in below the region of the brain. Doc
tors Gregg and Hudleson were called, and the
three physicians, after severe effort by the
use of forceps, extracted the iron, which was
nearly three inches in length, half an inch
thick and varying from three quarters to an
inch in thickness.

IMPORTANT Discovery N Nrw Mrx.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN New MEX
Ico-John German, Assistant Marshal,
who was engaged in taking the census of
New Mexico, discovered in the town of
chlmallo, in Rio Arriba county, a sub
stance resembling soap. 1t makes lather
like soap, and has the property of remov-
ing grease spots or stains out Of any kind
Of cloth. When put in water it immedi-
ately slacks like lime. At the place where
the discovery was first made, it is even
with the surface, and about fifteen yards
square. 1t is rotten on the top to the
depth of three feet, but appears cleaner
and soundor at greater depth. 1t can
be taken out in large humps of ten to ff-
teen-pounds weight. It is as white as
snow, and seems to exist in large guam
titles. Specimens have been forwarded
to the Census Office at Washington.
