By a law passed the last session of the Legislature, the manner of voting in this county was materially changed. Voters should bear in mind that we note vote but three Tickets. Ist. One ticket headed ''STATE,'" which this year contains only the name of the candidate for Governor. 2d. One ticket headed "JUDICIARY," which this year, contains only the name of the candidate for Associate Judge. 3d. One ticket headed " County" which must contain the names of ALL COCNTT OF r.CERs voted for, aho the names of the can didates for CONGRESS and REPRESEN TATIVE. No o her title or designation on the outside of the tickets will be recognized, and no one will be allowed to vote more than the three tickets headed as above.— They must contain the names of all candi dates voted for. The officers of the elec tion must deposit these separate tickets in separate ballot-boxes. WORK I J WORK ! : WORK I 1 J T>< rnecrats, national Union men of Wy oming County ; we make this, our last ap peal to you before the election. The time for action is at hand. Re member thai eternal vigdance is the price of liberty. See ihat no man who will vote our tick et remains al home. You have wily aui unscrupulous foes to contend with. Clo*e up the ranks and make a united and vigorous onset. Your enemies are desponding, Their leaders in times past, have left them. They are now led by men whose motto is "universal suffrage or per petual disunion." These disunionists, these blind and fanatical followers of the traitor Thad. Stephens, are in a minority, in Penn sylvania to-day, if the true Iriends of the union will but show .heir strength. None jure too humble or too weak to aid in the svork. You have your libetties, and the perpetuity of a government established by your fathers, to defend aud maintain. The union that you, your sons and brothers fought to restore, is still in peril still unrestoied. The traitors on one end of the line have been put down by your arms. Let the traitors on the other end of the line be put down by your votes. Yiu rou'd restore unimpaired, the constitution of your fathers. You desire a 1 Union of.all the states. You would maintain the supremacy of the white race. Shall these glorious ends be attained ? Shall victory crown your efforts? With a full poll of the Democratic and conservative vote, success in such a cau.se is certain. Upon you rests the responsibility of se curing a full vote. Go to work with willing hearts and a determination to do everything in vour power. You have truth, justice and right upon your side. Spare no pains in such a cause. See your friends and neighbors, talk with them, convince them, if not already con vinced of its justice. See that the sick, the lame, and decrep id have means to attend the election. Appoint your best men to guard the polls from the opening until the close. See that no illegal or fraudulent votes are cast. See that no man who has a right under the constitution to vote, is deprived ot that right. Work earnestly from morn till night. If through your apathy the enemies of the Union triumph, how bitte-r will be your re grets, when too late, to avert the evils they wiil impose upon you and the country. We say again, a fu'.l vote will secure certain victory. I Will every Democrat and conservative | unionist see that every.possible effort is i made to secure this most desirable consum mation ?

Incorporated with the appropriation bill was the provision for the increased pay of Congressmen, and for equalization of boun ties to sohtiers, Mr Mercur voted against the measure, on its liual passage, and consequently voted against the bounty for soldiers ami ajainst the increased pay to himself. But he received the p<iy he did not vote tor. The soldier has to stand back. Though Congress voted him a bounty, they did not \ote any money to pay the bounty ! SAME VS.

FOURTEEN REASONS FOR ABAN DONING THE RADICALS, BT AN UNCONDITIONAL UNION MAN. From the Patriot and Union. FELLOW COUNTRYMEN : The writer of these lines has been an earnest, he might almost confess, a FIERCE Union man all through the war. He was three years and a half in the military service of the coun try, and can establish a claim to VERY IM PORTANT services rendered, and repeated exposure of life in the Union cause He never held, and never expects to hold, a civil office, and has never been an active partisan. lie was zealous and active in putting down the rebellion. But now that the war is over, rebtdlion crushed, slavery dead, and all danger of a revival of the fol ly of secession forever gone, he feels that he has some right to plead for PEACE, for RES TOKATION, for ECONOMY of public expendi ture, for a return of confidence and good feeling, for MAGNANIMITY, for UNION ! - And lie resp -ctfudy asks every fellow citi zen whose eye may fall upon these lines to ponder with CANDOR, and in the light of TeuTH and PATKIOTISM, the foIIowingFOUR TF.EN REASONS why the radicals ought to fail and the conservatives ought to succeed at the coming election : 1. Ihe radical wing of the Republican partv have abandoned the great objects of the war, as laid down by Congress and President Lincoln at the outbreak of the rebellion, Those objects were to maintain the Government and PRESERVE IHE UNION, but the radicals are trying to prevent the restoration of the Union. The radicals ought to faih 2. B cause thov are opposed to the pol icy of ieconst ruction laid down by Presi dent Lincoln, and which he had partially inaugurated before his death. His messages and proclamations all cleaily prove that his policy was the same , that President Johnson now recommends, and Mr. Seward ami all Mr. Lincoln's confi dential advisers now declare that it was. 3. Because the radicals aim to prevent the restoration, FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PERPETUATING THEIR PARTY SUPREMACY thus sacrificing COUNTRY at the shrine o PARTT, 4. Because Congress and Mr. Lincoln declared that a State COULD not and SHOULD not go out of the Union, and sent armies to maintain that position. The armies did maintain it, and kept the insurgent States IN THE UNION; bit the radicals say they did not —that the war failed of its ohj ct, and that secession was accomplished ! 5. Because the radicals sgy that eleven States weie out of the Union, and prac - tically a FOKEIUN NATION ; that they are a CONQUERED nat on,and to be treated as such. They thu- make Davis and his compeers PATRIOTS, struggling for their country, in stead of TRAITORS, and place them BEYOND THE REACH OF PUNISHMENT ; for the laws of nations will not permit the military and the mag sf acy of a CONQUKED NATION to be punished as TRAITORS. 6. Because the lfadical majority of Con gn ss have passed laws to swell the public debt, with a recklessness never heard of in all pas' history. This-increaee was demand ed bv no public necessity, but millions up on millions have be* n voted away under pretext of improving rivers, harbors and the like, but really to afford pickings for their favorites. And whilst the people are groaning under crushing burdens of taxa tion, these men shamelessly increased their burdens hv voting an increase of their own pay. When elected to Congress,it was upon the implied contract tha' they would serve 'or the ten months usually oc cupied by both sessions of a Congress, for the sum of 56.000 ; but they violated the contract, and added #4.000 to their own pay, making it SIO.OOO, or about #I,OOO a nvnth! Will the people send these mer. hack, or men who approve of their own course ? 7. Because, while increasing the public debts, thev squandered an important means of paving it, V'z : the public domain. They voted away, n; railroad compiniea and oth er speculating organizations, millons of nCD-a of the public lands. These lands ought to he sold to pay the national d<-bt and diminish taxation ; but this Congress has squandered vast portions of it. And wlul-t doing this they attempted to -addle the country with a Freedmen's Bnre u | system, that would have cost from twelve to fifteen millions every year. No citizen can read the journals of Congress without being st rtled at the utter recklessness with which thev squandered the people's money! ,8. Because the radicals have violated and insist upon continuing to violate the great principles of civ 1 liberty involved in our Revolutionary struggle and set forth jin the Declaration of Independence One of these principles is, "NO TAXATION WUH orT REPRESENTATION and yet the radi cals ini<t npon taxing ten States of the Union whom they exclude fiom represen tation in the Legislature that lavs the tax. The men of 76 savin the Declaration: 44 We hold this truth to he self-evident— that all governments derive their just pow ers FROM THE CONBENT OF THE GOVERNED;" and y<t the radicals propose to amend the Constitution, the fundamental 'aw cf the nation, whilst they excluded eleven States of the Union from the C ngres? that pro posed tlie amendments, thus imposing up on eight or ten mi'lions of people a PERPET UAL BULK of government without asking their CON-ENT Tims would th se men trample upon the pr neiples of' 76. 9. Because the radicals openly and defi- i antlv trample upon the Constitution of our country, which requires that "the United States shall gn rantee to evrrv S'otcs a republican form of government " So far from obeving the Constitution in this re quirement, Congress persist in denying to ten States the right of self-government, and withhold from them the rights of rep resentation, an essential element of republi can Congresshas a right, as the President has again and again said, to judge each House of the qualifications ot its own mamhers. and he thinks as the wri ter does, that none but men of approved loyalty shonld be admitted, hut Congress ha no power to denv the right to be rep resented, nor exclude rightly qualified rep resentatives 10. Because it is dangerous to the Re- Public to continue long in power any party 1 with such an overwhelming majority as: the radicals have in the present Congress. In -11 free governments oppo*it'on\s an el ement of purity and safety. But when an opposition is too small to make any resist ance, or even to exercise due vigilance, the tyranny of the majority becomes reckless and corruption unexposed and unchecked corrodes the body polictic. 11. Because the radical press and stump orators seek to deceive the people in re gard to the BABIB OR RKPREBENTVTION. — They assert that the whole negro popula tion will now be counted as the basis of represention in Congress in the Southern States; whereas THET KNOW that NO CH'NOE in the basis of representation can take place until after another census and another apportionment. They know that no change CAN take place till 1871. And yet in their zeal to force NEGRO SUFFRAGE upon the country, they pretend that there is new an inequality ; whereas the truth Is ; that only three-fifths of the non-voting j population of the North is counted as the j basis of apportionment. 12. Because the radical policy, or want of a policy, keeps the country divided, pro longs sectional passion and jealousy, dc- j predates public credit, and diminishes the 1 revenue of the countrv, by discouraging industry and thrift. If they would permit the restoration of the Union for which our brave men fought, industry would revive at the South, property would be able to pay their proportion of the public burdens and TAXATION AT THE NORTH COCLD BE ' DIMINISHED. But so long as the radical policy prevails, poverty will oppress the Southern people—they can pay no taxes. | and we of the North must bear the whole burden!! 13. Because, after claiming to be the very champions ot free speech and a free press, they have of late proved the most intollerant enemies of both ; as evidenced by the recent instdts to our Chief Magis trate, by their refusal to let him enjoy the right of the humblest citizen, to he heard injhis own defence, and by drowning his voice with ribald clamor and insulting noises; all of which conduct the radical pTessiias with scarcely an exception, ex ultingly approved !! 14.—Because the policy of the radicals is in its SPIRIT and its PROGRAMME UN CHRISTIAN, VINDICTIVE and Bl OoD THIRS TY ! It is difficult to imagine how any CHRISTIAN, who pcssescs the spirit of Je sus. can adhere to a policy w hose watch word is vengeance and desfruct on! So long as the rebels wi re in arms, the writer of these lines was earnest and active in supporting th" Government an i putting down rebellion; but now he longs for peace, confidence, magnanimity. UNION He longs for the legitimate fruits of victo ry. Shall we have LINTON, PEACE and a DIMINUTION of TAXES? Or shall we, by voting- with the Radicals and keeping them in power, have DISTRUST, DISSKNTMN EXTRAVAGANT GOVERNMENT AND IN CREASED TAXES / My fellow citizens, I implore you to weigh my FOURTEEN REASONS candidly and dispassionately. Lav passion, prej tdiee and party a.ide ; and vote in the fear of God and with an intelligent love of coun try. As UNCONDITIONAL UNION MAN. Head and Decide.

MR. GEO. ASHMUV, of Massachusetts, who is known best as Presidcn* of the Chi ef go Republican Convention that nomina ted Abraham Lincoln for President, has written a letter to a Johnson meeting in New York, in which he says : 44 1 know Mr. Johnson well. He is hon- est, sagacious, true, and firm, and all such imputations upon his motives are most un just. I know, too, that he is faithfully fol lowing the same line of generous and far seeing policy which guided Mr. Li .coin up to the hour of his death, and 1 cannot be brought to doubt either its expediency or its justice. Certainly no higher or holier motive for action, in a public servant, can he suggested than that of a desire for the immediate restoration to friendly relations of those parts of our country which Imve been alienated. The war, followed by a solid aud lasting peace, may, after all, prove a blessing. But a hollow truce, out of which fiery passions and unscrupulous personal ambition seek to make profitable harvest, cannot be anything but a curse." SENTIMENTS or T&E SPEAKERS AT TBI REPUBLICAN MsttiNo.—Thaddeus Ste vens was the dhief speaker at the Lancas ter meeting on the 27tb. He said : The great issue to be met at the election is the question of negro rights, I shall not deny, but admit, that a fundamental princi ple of the Republican creed is that every being posse-sing an immortal soul is equal before the law. They are not and cannot be equal in strength,height,beautv,intellect ual and moral culture, or social acquire ments; these are accidents which must govern their condition according to circum stances, But in this Republic, the same laws must and shall apply to every mortal, Ameiican, Irishman, African, German or Turk. John W. Forney was another speaker and a big gun. Jle then said : . " Entertaining very clear and Jeeided opinions on this subject, Ido not hesitate to state that 1 believe the true solution of all our complications and the lasting protec tion of our free institutions, is TO CONFER IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE UPON AMERICAN CIT JZA 8 OF WHATEVER CKEKU, COLOR OR NA TIVITY. if this makes me a radical, lam a radical and 1 glory in the name." The thunder storm is gathering—the storm may soon break—and the sooner the rebels accept the terms offered by Congress the beticr for iheir'jTtiilty lives.

The Republican of this week con tains an article by a corre.p>nueut froi* this place which contnine some statements in rela'in o a "seene" that occurred at the Olenwood Fair, so gro-sly tnlsc ai>d unjust as to demand some notice ; although its low-lived slang, and its Pharisaical in sole i ee end egotism entitle it only to silent contempt. As to the uterus of the *|ieecb of the so called "Cp --l tin'* Tourgee, I do nut propose to sty anything at Ibis time, further than thai it was very IUIS'.I iu the style of those of Biowulow and his co-laborers ol the "Torch aud tU'penliae squat " .-in e the Fair, the fad is made public that this man, Tourgee was sentriere by the Ilepub>ic in State Cominitiee ; but if tile charas-ter of hi- "addiess" was known to any ef the re<q>onsible representatives of the Agricultuiui Society, prevent to its delivery, that r nnw'edjfe was nut eottunnnicated to others who had—to sty tue least —ns good a right to k tow of it. And when th-' ch -ruder of bis speech became apparent, several meinberg of tbe Executive Com ntiuee and other stockholder.- (who are Republicans) ■ spressed ibeir disapprobation of the at tempt to impose upon an Agricultural Fair, a pilitical ha ruiirue Under tbe circuu.i-lances one of the Vi.e- Prcsi Icn' ?
