Col. RIgler on the stun,n

Col BIGLER will be in Pittsburg tomorrow,
(Friday,) and address his Democratic fellow
citizens on the issues involved in the present
contest. He speaks at Kittanning, on Monday,
the 18th and will be ably assisted From thence
he goes to Washington, Fayette, Greene Bed
ford Fulton, Franklin and York counties, and
it is quite probable that he will visit Cambria
about the 1st of October. If so, he will receive
hearty welcome from our hardy mountaineers
every one of whom would be rejoiced to hear
the voice of their former Senator once more
From the west come the most flatterring ac-
counts of his increasing popularity, and his
journey through Clarion, Mercer, Jefferson,
Venango and Butler counties, has been one OF
unprecedented success. The old and the young,
the grave and gay, the weak and the feeble
came to see him and hear him speak. He pur-
sues the same manly straight forward course
where'eer he goes, and never tires in his efforts
to preserve inviolate the doctrine of the great
Democratic party, of which he is SO deserving @
member Gov. Johnston may as well give up
the fates conspire against him-the coons are
downhearted and will be badly used up on the
18th day of October next. So look out gentle
men for the Democratic thunder that will salute

The True Spirit.

William Searight, of Fayette county, who
was prominent candidate for Canal Commits
sioner, in the Reading Convention, in a letter to
r. c. Hale, Esq, of Lewistown, uses the fol-
lowing language, which is highly creditable to
his democratic fidelity and consistency
''Harvest being now over, 1 have gone to
work and will continue working, until the cleo
ton, for the ticket, the whole ticket and moth
ing but the ticket. Our friends in the southwest
have entered upon the campaign in good earnest,
and you may expect good report from our lion
hearted democracy. l regard the usages of the
democracy as sound, and regular nominations
as inyiolable. l have given thirty years of ser
vice to the cause of democracy, and will devote
as many more years to that same just cause as
Providence will mete out to me of health and
strength Yours very truly,
WILLIAM SEARIGIT"

This distinguished gentlemen died at his
residence in New Hampshire, last week For
some years he has been an Associate Judge of
the Supreme Court of the United States, and at
a meeting of the Philadelphia Bar, on Monday
last, Hon. Geo. NJ Dallas paid the following
eloquent tribute to his memory:
He had known the honored deceased. as a
public agent, private gentleman, intimately
and for many years; and he felt that the coun-
try and the social scene had cause to deplore
the loss OF a great man, a most useful one and
a most attractive associate. His ability and
unconquerable industry, had illustrated the
highest spheres of executive, Legislative, and
Judicial service.
AS Governor of New Hampshire, as her Sena-
torlal Representative in the National Councils :
as the head of the departments of the Navy and
the Treasury, during the administrations of
General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren, and final
ly as member of the most important and i'm
posing judicial tribunal in our country, he had
uniformly exhibited talents of the most solid
and brilliant character, accompanied with I'M
varying purity of moral purpose, and adorned
by an unfading glow Of true patriotism. Such
q citizen as Levi Woodbury. was invaluable to
any country-and he felt pride and pleasure in
being permitted even thus briefly and made
quately to bear his testimony to his merits, and
express his profound sorrow for his premature
death.

ring indication that the vital functions of nature
have been interrupted in their healthful, action,
and that serious evils must inevitably follow,
unless the system be again set right by the
timely use of proper remedies.

Bigler I'm the North.

An intelligent gentleman, who has travelled,
within the last two weeks, through considerable
portions of Northumberland, Lycoming, Clinton
and Clearheld counties, informs us, that of sew
eral hundred of wings, with whom he conversed
upon the subject, only two of them declared
their intention to vote for William f. Johnston.
while the others are openly in favor of Bigler
and the Compromise. In Columbia county,
Colonel Joseph Paxton, heretofore one of the
staunchest and most influential wings in the
State, openly repudiates Johnston and his Abo-
hhonism, and goes for Bigler and the Constitu-
ton, while IN Clarion, Mr. Benjamin Perry, well
known to our citizens the ss Iron King" ad
vocates the election Of Bigler and Clover, with
all his influence. So goes the good cause

The legislature.

The conference which met at Bedford on the
2nd instant, nominated, unanimously, Col. JOHN
KEAN, of Cambria, and VIM. 2. SCHELL, ESQ. of
party of this district for the Legislature The
name of Col. Kean has been at our mast head
since his nomination by the county convention,
of June last, and we this week take pleasure in
placing along side of it the name of VIM. p
Schell, as his colleague. That both these gen
tlemen are deserving Of the suffrages of the
democratic party of Cambria, there can be no
doubt, and if we are to judge from the fact that
there is no opposition manifested towards either
must unhesitatingly say, that their election is
certain, and the triumph of the democracy will
be complete.
Col. Kean is known to each and every demo-
crat of this county. Born amongst US, he has
by untiring industry, and great perseverance,
established for himself name near and dear
to all Of you. He has always been an indus
trious, hard-working man, one of the people,
one whose feelings and interests are, and al
classes, and it is enough to know that he is
honored and beloved by those who earn their
livelihood by the sweat of their brow, men
UoUvCIu II IS u pleasing
qualification to possess. He deserves your sup
port, and we hope each and every democrat in
this county will do their utmost for his election,
thereby promoting the success of the party and
establishing the true democratic doctrine, prin-
ciples, not men.
VIM. P Schell, Esq, to many of you, is a
new man. For the Legislature he as q new man,
but when you are aware of the confidence re-
posed in him, by the democracy of Bedford and
Fulton counties, and recoIlect that those two
counties recommended him with singular unan-
unity, for the Office, it would occur to you that
if he is young man, he is old in the hearts of
his friends and neighbors We know him well,
and know him to be n competent, worthy, and
excellent young man, one deserving of your
support, one who, if elected, would reflect
credit upon the district, and attend strictly and
| faithfully to his duties. Let every democrat
manfully support him, and let Cambria in Octo-
Der next, send greeting to the democracy of the
State, an increased majority for Messrs. Kean
and Schel, an unprecedented majority for our
gallant candidate for Governor, Hon Wm Big
Ter, the Raftsman of the Susquehanna for
Gen. Seth Clover, our candidate for Canal Com
missioner, for the able, learned, and erudite
candidates for the Supreme Bench, and last,
though not least, in Importance, the whole
county ticket, one and all. The California
Banner will then be yours, and the motto of the
Pennsylvania of the Pacifc-Ereka- inscribed
upon it, will shine with tenfold brightness upon
the summit of our own Alleghenies, and here
after lead us on to victory and the maintenance
of our time honored principles.

End OF the Cuban Revolution.

THE CAPTURE OF LoPEz-Ravana, Sept. Ist,
1651.-General Don Narciso Lopez, Commah-
der-in-chef of the Republican forces, was taken
prisoner on the 29th of August, at or near san
Cristobal He was secured hand and foot py
ropes until some Spanish soldiers came up to
the farm house where he was captured, and
then his hands were tightly bound behind him,
and he was hurried off to Bahia Honda, where
he was placed on board the steamer Pizarro.
At night on the 3lst, Lopez was brought into
Havana, the Pizarro landing her prize at the
Moro.
The news of Lopez's capture arrived at Ha-
vana late at night on the 29th, but was not made
public until the morning of the 30th.
1t is said that it was brought to the Captain
General by express, in four hours from San
Cristobal, distance 49 miles, and that four horses
were killed by the rider, such was his speed,
and that the Captain General paid him 50, 600
for the service.
THE ExECUTIoN.-At the fatal hour General
Lopez was brought out, and ascended the plat
form with firm step. His person was envel-
oped in a white shroud. The executioner then
removed the shroud, and there stood the General
in his full military uniform before the assembled
multitude.
His appearance was calm, digniied and heroic
Not muscle quivered. He looked upon the
preparations for death unmoved; his counte-
nance changed not, and his whole bearing was
firm and manly.
The executioner now removed his embroidered
coat his sash, crayat and all the insignia of his
military rank, in token of disgrace.
General Lopez, with his hands tightly bound
together in front, stepped forward, and in a
strong, clear voice, slowly spoke to those around
as follows
al pray the persons who have compromised
me to pardon me as pardon them.
"My death will not change the destines of
Cuba" The executioner, standing little
behind, here interrupted him in an insulting
tone, with "COme be quick, be quiek"l
General Lopez, turninghis head partly around, |
fixed his eye on the man, and said sternly grit
ting his teeth, "Wait, Sir" He then contin
ued:
'Adieu, my beloved Cuba! Adieu, my
brethren!"
The General then stepped back, seated him
self on the stool. A priest with the crucifx and
taper stood on one side of him, the executioner
on the other. The collar was then placed around
the prisoners neck. The priest now placed the
crucifx between the Generals hands, and just
as he was in the act of inclining his head to kiss
ii, the executioner swung the fatal screw, and
the head of the unfortunate man at the same
instant dropped forward, touching the crucifx
He never moved again. There sat the body of
one of the bravest men that ever drew breath,
but a moment ago alive now a ghastly corpse
The execution was conducted in the most or
derly manner, and in perfect silence. No shout
ing or any other exhibition Of applause was
manifest. Whether this was the result of the
news from New Orleans, or the express orders
of the Captain General, is not known.
Immediately after the execution, General
Lopez's body was taken down, and privately
buried.

The GarrO1e.

The garrote is mode of punishment in Spain,
by strangulation. The victim is seated upon
stool, behind which is a post to which is affixed
an iron collar with a screw This collar clasps
the throat of the victim, and one turn of the
screw produces immediate strangulation, 1t is
stated by some, also, that sharp, broad blade
is inserted in the post, and that when the screw
is turned the knife penetrates the back of the
neck and sewers the spinal chord. This produ-
ces as instant death as bullet shot through
the heart, and must deprive the victim of all
sense of pain.

Twenty-Five acres is expected to yield one hun

of cultivation during the year 1850 to the ex-
