'men come to choose-between -candidates; each of :Mont rfpresents a principle antagonistic to ,the 'other.. .Now, we take it. there can be no more upietr_between-Breckiiiridge and Douglas' than,. between ; two naturally repidsive forces. ..Each represents a distinctive platform: No-advocate ut Mr. Douglas believes mr affects to believe, in the doe- trine upon which Major Breckinridgc stands, and no advocate of Major Breek inridge believes, or affects .to believe, in the doetriue upon which Mr. Douglas stands.. The Southern friends of Breek iuridge, more frank than the mostof the friends:of Douglas,.declare, as a general thing, that under no circumstances will they ever accept either the candidate or the.creed upon which the regular De mocracy stand. In the language of Senator Benjamin, of , Lonisana, in his last great speech, they would not accept victory if their platform , was to be construed in one way in the North, and another way 'in the South. They believe that the institution of slay cry ii carried by the Consiitution of. the United States into the Territories of the! Union, and that it meat be protected' there against the muter kill, and rather than yield this principle, 'or submit to; the election of a Northern man to tliei Presidency of the United States, like Abraham Lincoln; the, most of them I would be willing to justify a preparation for secession from the Union. They have -made the issue. Standing upon this idea, they have so consolidated the Southern people around their candidate, Mr. Breekieridge, that we shall not be surphied, since Colonel Curtiu's election, to see a very large majority of the South ern people cleelde,in favor of that candi date. They are sensible of this great ad vantage; and while in the Southern States they reject with disdain. all coali tions with Mr. Bell, whom they regard as a traitor to Soutligrn instituthms, and trample upon Mr. Douglas as an enemy equally hostile to them with Mr. Seward himself, they are, with eatcleseending sa gacity, particularly. willirg to unite. with the-friends of 1.3.11 and Douai s iu the . free States to carry electors against Lin coln, because they knovr that in such a combination they will be able to gain something, .which will be added to the controlling aggregate of their triumphant electoral vote in the South. Every 'Fusion in the Free States, therefore, is intended to promote the eke lion of John a Brcekinridye to the Presideney_of the nited States. The friends of 'Mr.- Douglas, -rather than see themselves used as instruments in favor of extreme Southern Disunion i4m, will now leave the responsibility of the coming _result - to those who, while protesting that the election of Abraham Lincoln must lead to the dissolution of the'linion, stubbornly refused to sustain and support the only candidata before the American people who could have prevented the-election of Mr. Lincoln. THE VOTE • FOR TREASllRElL—Not withstanding-the treason in the camp, W. K. King is. elected by n handsome majority. , A truer hearted Republican we cannot count in our ranks. Ile has always been a - noble and hopeful soldier in the Republican - cause, through all kinds of political weather, and his elec tion will be bailed with shouts of glad ness by every true Republican in the county. Ye one hundred and three Re publicans of Bradford township, who spurned the bribes of a corrupt clique, and nobly stood by your party, receive the honor which will always hover around the names of true men. Green will you ever be in- our memories; nobly have you fought, prefeziog principle to pecuniary benefit. All of the.7fuss and feathers about Barr's being defeated by the Court two years ago, will now be buried with those with whom the slander originated. In fact, the' people like the course the Court took so well that they have concluded to take the honor of the defeat of Barr upon themselves this time. - The course that Barr has taken in trading off his own friends-to ensure his own election, has brought down Democratic maledictions upon, him—curses not leud but deep. But let the dead bury the dead. The election of King is more glorious under the circumstances. Bradford, a Repub lican township, giving 128 Republican majority now giving 82 against King, did not . defeat; him. No, gentlemen ; K. King; if be lives, will be our next treas trot..

Why this change ? Why. is it that the old Democratic State'of Pennsylvania has been swept. from its moorings ? Who is responsible?

MURDERERS ARBEFrED.--,-The editor of the Pniladcl• yllia,Bulletin has been shown a private lettes'from a reliable gentleman of Johns town; dated Oct. 4th; in which he states that Col. George Friti, of the great- Iron Works in Johnstown, is the Captain of a Club of Wide-Awake Lincoln Rangers, comprising over three hundred members. On Friday evening Col. A. G. Curtin made a spirited address - to the people -of that region, and was subsequently escort ed by the Wide-Awakes to the 11.40 train on the Pennsylvania Railroad. On the route one of the Wide-Awakes left the line, and was attacked in a terribly brutal manner by a party of half a dozen or more Douglasitcs. • Aftcr beating the unfortunate man fearfully, one of them struck him with a stone. His injuries proved fatal on Sunday evening. ' , Six of the assailants havelien arrested and are now in jail for the crime, at Ebensburg. The occurrence has cast a gloom over the whole town. IT is with no common satisfaction that we chronicle the election of John M. Butler to Congress from the Ist District of Pennsylvania (the south part of Phil adelphia), lately represented by Mr. Thomas B. Florence. Mr. :Butler has been supposed to be beaten by a few votes; but the Official Canvass yesterday showed him to be elected by 198 major ity. Mr..

Penn sylvania is really redeemed for all time from the clutches of the democracy. The Republicans gain two Members of Con gress—Butler in the Ist (Florence's) dis trict, and Andrew Stewart in the XXth (Montgomery's) district. Der The official rote, of this county, which will be found in another column, shows some vary flattering changes in some of the townships of this county. All honor to Roulet, Stewardson, Swe• (tc. The Democrats of Potter are beginning to read and think for them selves. Mr. Pale's majority in the District is about 2100—he receives a majority in every county but Sullivan, and that has not been heard from. Lycoming, the home of Fleming, gives Hale about 400 majority, Oat "(GilliS)diStriet has done wonders •this time. It. elects Patton to Congress by a handsome ma jority. lie gets abOut 100 majority in Venango County, where his • opponent resides. In the Legislative district; Gor don and Lawrence, both Iteruhlicatis: are elected over 4: N. Benton, of IklekeaU, •and B. R. Brady, of. Jefferson. . -Benton was sure of a raleetion—but where IS it. • The editor of the:Agitator, being fearful that the discussion of the manner in which the legislative nominations were Made in the ." ratification committee" would . prove detrithental to the rote fur Messrs. Elliot and Strang, postponed its reply to our remarks until after election; and now, ashen there is no longer issue before the people in the matter, treats its to over two columns of venomous non sense, and boggy slang against several of the most wortlly and respectable citizens of this county. The idea of a man only seven Years a voter and five out of 'the democratic 1 1.ankn, presuming to brand 'as " guerrillas" men• Who have been fighting, in the ranks of Freedom since long before this young bog-trotter's :clouts were off,. is simply ridieulousaii insult to common sense; and simply determines the Jere! of his character. But ag the'Agitator has seen fit t) avoid the discussion of the is sue while pending, we feel under no obli gation to take any notice of it now farther than to correct two or three important wisatatements contained inits long-wind ed article. 1. Tire .AgitO tor states that the .cow ference for 1859 "was appointed to be held at Well:boro, but when 'the' time. came, the conferees from Potter county failed to make their appearenc," This is a mistake. The first talk as to the place was to Meet at Wellsboro, bat . it was afterwards agreed between the conferees that the Legislative conference should meet here at the time of the Sen atorial conference, and aeccrdingly . Mr. Sofield and one other gentleman whose name we forget, (two 'conferees, bear in mind,) came here with the three Senato rial conferees, (Warren, APKean and Potter each had three, and Tion claimed no right to more then,) for the purpose of holding a conference - ; but refused 'to act until the result of the Senatorlal con ference was decided, when, the nomina tion of Senator having been awarded to Potter, they refused to meet - our confer ees at all, and went back to Wellabo - ro and nominated Mr Bodine. As-several gentleman beside the editor of the tutor claim the honor of procuring the withdrawal of that gentleman, we will let , 1 thew decide it for themseves. 11. If, as the Agitator says, Mr Wil liston and Mr. Benson had no right to agree that Potter should be entitled to one Member throughout the present ap portionment, neither had the politicians of Tioga a right to claim in 1859, nor the Porter politicians to concede, both Mem bers this year. This assumption, the Agitator confesses to having practiced. Mr, Mann. was not run with the re motest hope of his election, nor at his own instance or desire; NI was simply run to enable the Republicans of Potter to with hold their assent from the action of the Tioga county convention and its ratifica tion committee. The county-committee deemed this action due to the Republi cans of this-couoty, but did not make any effort to secure votes for Mr, Mann this year, (leaving it to the option of the vo ters),because greater issues ivere at stake. They will next year make the issue, and give it a thorough test. We re Serve the closing paragraph of the Agitator's article—a personal fling at the JOURNAL—for another article. Remember, That the census now being taken will give a majority to the North of about eighty in Congress, which of itself secures to the .North the absolute control of all national legislation. Thus, wl.etherLts• COLN be eketed•or not, the North can, of itselt, enact and repeal any laws within the limits of the Constitution. In this view of the case, is it wise, is it patriotic, is it fraterpal to force upon the South a President whose declared policy fills it with the most serious and well founded alarm? The rights and interests of the North lie within its own control, and the election of any other candidates before the people cannot endanger the North, while the election of .any other candidate than LyscoLN will give to fifteen States the happy assurance that it is not the purpose of the North to quarrel . with them, and to (hive thaw oat of the Union. —Pen rzsy/van ian. Such is the system of falsification with which Northern pro-slavery papers, at tempt to break the fah of the doomed party. It is not true . that " the North can of itself coact and repeal apy laws within the limits of the Constttution," the President being with the South. Every school-boy knows that the freemen . , of the North; can"-rass no law whatever, unleiti they first' elept la .President who will sympathise-With t tem; .

The influence of the, President, on legislation has. unfor tunitely, come to be almost potential. It is therefore of the utmost importance that a Republican is about to be elected.. One Charge /lore.

Republicanism Going South- ward. In the Washington correspondence of the 12th to the N. Y. • Tribune, we find, the followine; " A good deal of sensation 'exists in this city by reason of the accession to the Lincoln ranks of a large portion of the rank and file of the late Ilell and liverott or American party in Baltimore. This class of Working men, being disguited by the course of ihe dry goods portion of the party in supporting others than au American for Mayor, have resolved to Iv for Lincoln, and may thus prevent the State of Maryland' from "going for lira Bell. This sort of feeling will extend to other Southern J cities. 'Here the Republicans I are getting considerable` accessions." 'And why should not the nation— South as well as North=lookl toward the election of Abraham Lincoln the best means of'•relink f ing the .arrogance and corruption of 06 ruling powers at Wash.: itgton. And the moral Courage of Southern men to act what they believe will soon fill the Southern cities and towns with thotisands upon thousands of good honest Lincoln men; for if, but a l half-dozen get together and demonstrate the fact that the mission of Republican ism is honest and peaceable, then there I are thousands throughout the South who will gladly join the Lincoln forces;—not out of revenge or a desire to abolish slav ery where it ; is, but because they have seen and felt' its blight upon society and desire to sec some position taken by the National government which will tend •to prevent its fttrther extension ;These are the truly conservative men of tie South ; as'are, also - the Linoolu men the most Artily conservative ,men of the North.
