rGrThe nominees Of the Union Con.
vention at Miflinburg, are too familiarly
acquainted with the voters of this county
to need formal introduction and any
extended outlay of eulogy, would be an
utter waste of the raw material Mr.. Al
BRIGHT is perhaps (from his location in
the n. Z. corner of the county, least
known Of any, but he stands well at home,
and will command strong vote there
the best of recommendations. Messrs
LAIRD, THOMAS, and HuMMEL, have been
tested, as County Commissioners, &C., and
will bring to their respective offices ample
experience and business qualities. Capt
ScHecu received more than his party vote,
when Democratic candidate for Sheriff
Mr.. LINCOLN is known and admired, at
home and abroad. Messrs. RENGLER and
HAYES are among our very Oldest, most
respected citizens. Mr. BARBER has many
warm friends, and came within 225 votes
of defeating Maj. SIMoNToN in this end
of Union county, which has 400 or 500
Wing majority.
The Iolunteers-Messrs. SCHRAcK, G I'LL
DIN, and EwTNG-are also we'll known
men, of good capacity, and would honor
the stations for which they are proposed.
We understand some of our Mifflin-
burg fellow-citizens and sympathizers, talk
Of getting up another Convention. Be-
fore they take that trouble, they should
scan well the lists of candidates already in
the field, for we doubt whether they can
on the whole make out better. If more
worthy and competent men can be named,
however, then We may all be proud Of q
county from which such trust worthy and
honorconferriug officers may be selected.
ra-It is claimed that Col. Barber will
have the Democratic Conferees of Juniata
county, ultimately, in his favor; but his
election is not so sure, although, as he
declared when administering his Anti

are desperate times, and require desperate

CngsL PunnuHHz - Baltimore Republiean.
OF July 18th, give the following part;crlsrs -
specting the fatal tragedy which occured 81 Pa
Henry on the night Of the 18th inst:
ut is related to ~ that last evening Lou;s
Loup, private soldier, being intoxicated, misbe-
hsved in some manner which we did not clearly
understand, and excited the ire of the ergent Of
form and beat him severely; and then put him into
the guard-house among the prisoners, where he
beat him most numerically. leaving large pool
OF blood where Loup lay. About one O'Clock this
morning, Morrow, the Sergeut of the Guard, had
Loup, who was already dreadfully laceratsd and
presenting a most horrid sight, and unable to
stand, tied up to the flag staff.
On having his hands tied up, poor Loup cried
out in the most pitiful and heart-rending tones,
90, Shargeant! o, Shsrgeant!-O, Moro! O, Moro!
let me down!'-O, Shargeant! O, Moro!-O, don't!
do let me down! But his entreaties were Of no
avail. The anger of the cruel sergeant could not
be softened. lie seized quite large stick of
wood and placed it in Loup's mouth, to silence
his cries. The poor soldier remained thus tied up
and gagged until three O'Clock this morning, when
he was taken down a corpse. This is the story
as related to US. The unfortunate Loup, we are
told, il Swiss by birth, and about forty years of
age-and has served seventeen years in the Amer
lean army! He served throughout the Florida
and Mexican wars, most faithfully-and it pains
heart to hear of this sad and painful incident.
If the above statements are in any way incorrect,
we should be glad to be corrected. We are told
that Lieut.. Clifen was officer of the day, but had
not any direct part in this matter. $50
We learn by telegraph that on Friday Sergeant
Morrow was arrested by the police, charged with
having caused Loup's death by excessive cruelty.
warrant had also issued for the arrest of Lieut..
Citizen.

M1srAKEN.-The Minnesotian, in abiding
10 resolution which was introduced into the
Republican Convention, by one CT the St. An
thony delegates, remarks that the resolution was
"offered intentionally to insult the feelings Of
other delegates" We happen to know that this
is not so. The gentleman who offered the
resolution, offered it in good faith, and when
he saw that it was likely to create hard feeling,
although the resolution would undoubtedly have
passed the body, if put to vote, yet when mo-
ton was made by Rev. Mr.. Ames to table it,
he yielded, and did not press his claim. We
think the St. Anthony delegation deserve great
praise, for not only their efficiency in the Con-
vention, but for their moderation and frmness.
They are satisfied with Mr.. MARSHALL, and
will work as checrfully and earnestly among
the People, as they did in completing the or.
ganization Of the REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARrH.-The Demo.
cratic nominee for Delee> is in peculiar posi-
ton. His party placed him between Heaven and
Earth, and here he is, vibrating like pendulum,
unfit to go to one place AMI kicked out of the
other. What difference between the So called
Democracy and Republicanism. The one par
ty m ,dc strong platform and placed an honest
man on it to be SC n and judged of all men, while
the other crept clandestncly into the Convention,
gagged the mouths of their opponents, swung the
beetle over the heads of their enemies, and having
driven out 'the unclean party, elevated their man
to be shot at by every ''son of gun,'' who has
strength enough to raise a muskct to his shout
der. We feel sorry for Mr.. Rice. lie occupies
the same position as the offspring Of the monkey
did. lie is in the hands of his friends and his
friends are bound to squeeze him to death. We
hope he'll die easy, and once dead we are sure he
will be deccntly Inferred.

his clothes were nearly torn of Of him, and his

constable was forced to arrest him and commit
lin to prison to await his trial for breach Of the

the profits accruing to the grog seller on which
may have been one dime; the cost Of the recent

FRIDAY, JULY 81, 1855.
n EsOLUrIoNs OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

RESOLUTIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The resolutions Of the Republican Party,
which appear in to days paper, meet with our
hearty appreciation, and We think they will
meet with the appreciation OF every Republican
in the Territory. They are not composed OF
milk and water, but of the real Substantial ma
,eriaL and the fabric which may be erected up
on them, will possess foundation commenda-
bic for its strength and durability.
The idea OF forming q new Party on rotten
planks--of publishing our professions for Prin-
ciples and then enibarling in leaky ship,--ot
shaping our sails to catch any little breeze in
stead of striking out boldly into the current and
trusting to strong arms, stout hearts, and glo-
rious cause, is sheer nonsense, ard the sooner
politicians learn the fact, the better it will be
for them, and the better for the old parties
whose very rottenness oozeS out and impreg-
mates the air with the stencil Of a thousand car
cases. The day has gone by for equivocation
an oscillation-we want MEN representing PRIN-
CITIES in the field. We want Spartan Band
who can be depended upon--who will defend
the straights Of freedom, though in doing so, a
mightier army than Xerxes should dispute every
inch Of ground upon which they stand--though
in doing SO, but one should be left to erect a
monument telling the stranger where fell the
lovers Of freedom. But we anticipate no such
opposition,--we anticipate full and complete
victory if our ranks are united and our soldiers
are firm. Our leader is one in whom we can
place confidence, and if the Republicans work
as they should work, there can be no doubt of
success. Stand boldly up ON the platform, and
send forth the clarion notes that will ring the
death-kneIl TO the Slave Oligar,hy and the NIGH
Rum Power.

On approaching Rivas they took an outpost BY
surprise, and then attacked the town. The fight
was sanguinary, but in the midst of it the Central

to shift for itself. In this dilemma, Walker
retreated to planters house in the neighbor-
hood. where he sustained combat for two hours
against over 300 assalants, until, simultaneously,
the building was stormed in front and set on Ere
