Smith's Kansas speech: Since this
gentleman has become a favorite
old hunkers, we hope they will all
read this extract.
I There is a communication from
Bev. It: L. Stillwell of Bradford coun

no reader will overlook. We hope
all t e mperance men will agree with
its main point--That the next Legis
lature ought to pass the Maine law for
the whole ,State. -
The Rev, L. F. Porter will
bold r e ligions services et the old
Court House on Sabbath niorning
next. He will also preach at Lymans

'Ur The thirty-five counties in this
State that voted for Prohibition, at
the late Election, choose 19 Senat - ors
and 59 Repreentatives; the 21
counties_ that voted adversely elect
14 Senators and 41 Representatives.
In spite of the great majorities against .
Prohibition in Berks, York, Schuyl
kill, Northampton and a few, other
Counties, it is manifest thatthe Maine
law will be passed soon; probably at
the next session—at least fur the 35
Counties that gave majorities for it.
Er We have received a letter from
the Secretary of the American Artist's
Union. (for which we paid five cents)
enclosing a long advertisement,. which
We ate asked to publish six mouths,
and receive fifteen dollars in "Cata
logues, Prospectus and Specimens."
We have to inform the Secretary of
this pretended Artist's Union, that he
is no gentleman or be would• have
prepaid the postage on his letter, and
that we think his whole concern is a
bumbng or he would have forwarded
something substantial as an, induce
ment to insert his advertisement.. We
have adOpted the advance-pay system,
Arid hereafter no advertisement will
be, inserted without we are secured
for its insertion at the time of its pub
lication. We are glad to see the
county press generally adopting this
rule. They have worked for nothing
long enough. if Mr. J. W.Holbrooke,
No.- 505 Broadway, N. YY. will forward
us the five cents wrongfully taken
front us by his humbug letter, the
account between us will be settled,
otherwise we shall seek some other
means of redress:
Good Advice , Thoroughly Carried Ont. _
When the Hon. DAVID WILMOT
his bold appeals to the of,
Ills State io rebuke the authors of the '
Douglas outrage at the ballot-box, we
had no doubt - of the result. Judge
WILMOT is decidedly the best stump
speaker in the State, and he never
does anything by halves. His letter
to Mr . . RICHARDSON, in which the ag--.
gressions of Slavery were so vividly
painted, was published in every lib
eta] paper in the State, and -pro
duced a great sensation; and then his
speeches in the glorious WilmotDis
trict were irresistible. He adVised
the people to strike down the allies,of
slavery, and most effectually have
they taken his advice—notwitligtand
ing Frank Smith, Esq., of Troy,_ made
such herculean efforts to enlighten the
people on the danger of listening to
the great Champion of Freedom.—
Poor Frank. The next time he at
tacks a public man, he had better take
one of his size.
The following majorities in Wil-.
tnot's District show what has been
done for Liberty by a bold appeal to
the people. ye ask the Anti-se
braska Democrats of this county to
look at this record, and say whether
they think they deserve to stand by
the side of their associates in Tioga,
Bradford, and• Susquehanna:

We do not know a man in The nil:
tion that occupieS a-prodder positiOn
at this time' than Judge Pottcic,
Governor elect of the Commonwealth
'of Pennsylvania. Nominated I).y:the
conservative portion of -the Whig
party, who undertook to confine him
to old party issues, we felt and said .
that Free Democrats could not sup
port him. But his letter to the• Sull
ivan County Committee showed that
he had shook off the influence of cot
ton Whigs, and-was the man for the
hour. As soon as his health would
permit him to take.-the stump, •his
speeches gave additional evidence of
his fitness and ability to be the cham
pion of the new Republican party.
His speech in Pittsburg on the sth of
September was reported in fill in the
daily Gazette - of the 6th, • and in the
weekly of the 7th.. It was a tho
rough-going Anti-Nebraska, Maine
Law speech, printed copies of zhich .
reached this county before be did;
and - yet our sore-head hunkers say the
Journal did not report the. speech here
because it was too Anti-Slavery to be
read in other parts. Ir this was the
only falsehood told by leading hunkers
of this village during the campaign,
we should perhaps think they did not
know any better; but men who will
stoop so low as to defeat an efficient
and capable officer, who 'has but one
arm, with .the basest -kinds - of false
-1 hoods, will do anything that promises
siicces
But Judge POLLOCK'S consistency
during the campaign should be well
understood by all, -for therein he has
)
set a noble example, Which We hope
I
will have a lasting effect in this State.l
Unlike his dodging competitor, he
boldly and fearlessly avowed his sen
timents. He talked against Slavery,
and in favor of the Maine Law,
wherever he went, as well in Phila
delphia as in the. North. Upon this
point, the Mercer Freeman, one of the
most ultra Free Democratic papers of
the State, has the following, which we
commend to our hunker friends who
are solicitous about Judge POLLOCK'S
position :
Right glad are we to believe that Governor
13 1 , ;LEr e s successor will -stand up manfully in
defense of the groat principle of freedom,
which entered-so largely into the canvass just
closed. While on his tour through this sec
tion of the State, in his intercourse with the
people, in his public addresses as well as in
private conversation, he preached the most
radical anti-slavery doctrine. We are told,
however, by pro slavery sorviles, that in the
eastern portion of the State, and especially
where the commercial influence of Philadel
phia was more immediately felt, his tone
would be changed; that he Would be "con
servative," Winn actually pro-slavery. There I
was an honest earnestness about the mein
, which forbid us giving credence to these sag
-1 gestions; still; we have been , so often -de--
-ceived, that we were not altogether sure that
we night not be again. A friend from this
place, -however, whose radical anti-slaiery
I sentiments are long standing, has scattered any
misgiving that we may have had on this point.
Ile was in Philadelphia the week preceding.
the eleCtion, and learning that Judge Poti.ocx
was to address a public meeting in the city on.
Saturday evening, he determined to hear for
`himself the principles• he would advocate
there. lie accordingly went to the meeting,
which was attended by a . vast concourse; and
he tells us that the same great truths which I
Judge P. advocated at New Castle and Mer
cer,
he proctaimed in the ears of the cotton
merch.in-s, shippers, and others of Philadel
phia. Ile procatoned boldly that the contest
in this country was between Liberty and
Slavery—that this was the question of the
times—that the aggressions. of the slave
power must be met, and this power van
quished, or it would destroy the liberties of
the country.
We doubly rejoice,, ben, in the result of
the recent gubernatorial contest,—not only
the servile who pardoned Alberti, and recom
mended that our jailshe thrown open as re- -
cep:cies for fugi.ive slaves, and that Penn
sylvania be made virtually a save State, has
been repudiated, but that the chair of State
is to be occupied by a man who has a beck bone
stiff enough to keep him in an upright po
sition.
VOTE FOR PRINCIPLE
The N. Y. Evening Post, the ablest
democratic paper in the nation, re
fused to support Governor Seymour,
because the Convention which nomi
nated him endorsed the Douglas bill.
Several papers tried to . convince
the Post that it was pursuing a bad
polio - y, and among others the Utica
Observer took it in hand. The reply
of the Post is quite refreshing com
pared with the subserviency of its
associates. Its closing paragraph . is
as follows:
Tho principle of the Observer is
bad for another reason. What• check
have the mass of the party upon the
corrupt proceedings of packed con
ventions, if they are to be deterred
from denouncing them by the. fear of
giving a•triumph to an opposing par
ty If it were understood that dent
ocrais would not support . a ticket, by
whatever name it was called, that did
not represent democratic Trinciples,
democratic principles would make a
much more conspicuous figure in
democratic conventions than they have
done of late years in this country.
TILE PRO-SLAVROY AND LIQUOR /NPLU ,
- RACES. \
Wh en . .0e referred to . (Gov)) Se
Eaour'S veto of the Maine Law as an
evidence of the alliance bpiweetl ruts
and . hunkerisin; we were .replied to
by some green and sensitive tem
perance, democrat, with- the -deelara
tion that Seymour was a frees:ode,' 1
We do not suppose any one believed
the assertion at the time, but we al-
lude to it just noir, that all may see
the position which Seymour occupies
ai.the champion of the Nebraska.out-
rage, and the candidate of the liquor
men in the State of New York. What
is true of New York is true of all the
States aS it is of this county, as any.-
body with half an eye open can see;
and we thank our hunker friends for
agitating the subject; so the Harrison
scribble•, who would like to have the
people believe, but dare not say, that
the votes in that township against the
Maine Law were polled by freesoil
men, will please to fire away till his
ammunition is exhausted.
We think it is perfectly plain, that
here as elsewhere, the great body
. of
the opponents of slavery extension
are hi favor of temperance and the
Blaine law, and the great body of
the opponents of the temperance cause
and of the 1114iiklaw, are pro-slavery
democrats.
In proof of this we ask who pro
cured and circulated the Maine law
tickets in this County?' Who stood
at the polls even in , Harrison town
ship, nrging each voter to':remember
and vote for the suppression of the
liquor traffic ? WaS any of this work
done by. Bigler men? If it. was,
we shall be 'happy to learn the fact.
We can answer for the Republicans,
that they printed and circulated in
this county tw..):thousand Maine law
tickets ; and • cannot learrr that the
Bigler men printed or distributed a
single ticket. On- the other hand,
a leading old hunker flooded the
comity with tickets against the law,
and old hunkers were active at nearly
every poll inducing men to put these
tickets into the ballot box. In sev
eral townships, they succeeded in
making it a party question, so that the
liquor vote and the Bigler vote are
nearly alike, and in one township
preciely alike; and the Maine law
and-Pollock vote is in the same town-
ships just as near even. Even in
Harrison township, the vote for the
Maine law is two less than for Pollock,
so there is no evidence that any of the
Bigler men voted for Prohibition.
Take another fact. Every township
that gave a majority fur Bigler, gave
a majority for the liquor influence,
and every township that gave a good
large ' majority for Pollock did the
same fur Prohibition.
When the greeny over in Harrison
gets these facts digested, we will -fur
nish him some more l for we are happy
to keep this subject before the people.
We know full well that a large num
ber of those who voted with the sham
democracy at the last* election, are
good and reliable temperance -men;
and are honestly opposed to the 'whOle
scheme of slavery aggression. What
we say is, that these have been led
by old party prejudices to vote against
their principles, and we have no doubt
that. the facts which are every day
coming to light, will soon open their
eyes to their false position, when they
will unite with those who agree with
them, instead of acting with _those
who disagree with' them - in every
important particular.
• A good example for all
,places to
follow was set in Teire-Haute, Ind.,
at the recent election. While the
polls were open all the groceries
where liquor was sold, were• closed,
the Mayor having made a Special rec
ommendation to that effect on the
ground that groggeries and the ballOt
boxes were not good friends:— War
ren Ledger.
There are quite a number of old
fogy democrats in this - county who
might profit by the above example.
We think all good citizens will say
keep "groggeries and the ballot-box"
as far apart as possible.
rirAn important question will come
up for decision at the next session of
the Eulalia Division S. of T. We
hope every member will attend and
vote on the proposition.

HON. DAVID WILMOT.
We arc ritnue gratt e %at he una

electiOn of the Hon. 1. Wilmot:to',the
Seilates'-01-the United State's. The,
Susquehanna' Registerao old and
steadfastsvbig • paper, but since tfie"
pis - sige of the Nebreska:bill,an able
advocate of the union of all parties
opposed to that Swindle, .thus.'happiiy
gives . its 'reasons for desiring the
election, of Mr. Wilino
these reasons ought. tor induce-all the
anti-Nebraska' men to: unite on the
most efficient enemy of hunkerism for
that post. Says the Register:
It, being now ascertained that a
majority of the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature .on joint ballot, will be .Anti-
Nebraska, the selection of • United
States Senator in place Of Hori.James
Cooper, whose term empires on
,the
4th of March next, is beginning to be
discussed. Among the Whigs, Judge
Conrad, of Philadelphia, Gen. William
Latimer, of Pittsburg, Ex-Governor
Johnston, and lion. Thaddeus StevenS
are
,talked . of. There are many re
sons .why, in our Opinion, -the Free-
Soil men, without distinction of party,
should unite on David Wilmot for that
office, provided he will accept it. No
1 man in the State has iabored more
faithfully or efficiently for the-cause of
freedom than Judge or-his
straight-forward course, and manly
adherence to principle; ,he has been
denounced by the hireling presses of
Admh&tratiun, and threatened
with political annihilation.: When :it'
was found that be chose : to follow the
guidance of principle 'rather than the
behests of party, as if at a precon-
certed signal,•the pack opened upon
him, in full cry, and evinced a fixed
determination to hunt him to death.
It was even said that by.deserting his
party, he had already sealed his own
doom. But_
in truth, instead of his
having . deserted his party, he has only
maintained the principles that made
him what he is, and the party—or
rather the party leaders—have de
serted him. His course has been'
approved and ratified by the
. 'people
of I ) .ennsylvania,, and- most emphatic
ally by the people of his' own district.
Pollock's majority in this Congres
lional district is 4,094! or a gain ovor
Pierce's vote of 6,550. D oes. that
look like Wilmot's being deserted by
the people ? He was never so popu
lar—never so strong. ay now!- and
fortified as be is in his own integrity
and the confidence of, the people;
those pigmy foes who have attacked
him with so much vehenience, cannot
injure him, but will be themselves
slain by the recoil. •
It is not for our own sake -that we
advocate Judge Wilmot's election to
the Senate, but because of the effect
of his taking a seat there at this crisis,
and of the influence he would exert
in the National councils: .1 The strug
gle between Freedom and Slavery is
not at an end. The Slavocracy are
playing a desperate game for suprem
acy, and they will fight it out to the
last. Eyery avenue through which
they may seek to make further en
croachments, must bo . guarded, and
for • that purpose we must have. vigi
lant sentinels on the bulwarks of free
dom. We know of. no man who
would be more keen-eyed' to per
ceive the danger, or •mere prompt to
sound the alarm, than David Wilmot.
The friends of freedom throughout
the North must look - to it, that they
send . such men—men trite and fear- -
less in their antagonism .to slavery—
and none others to Congress.
We should glory more in the elec
tion of Judge. Wilmot. te the Senate
now, than ih that of, any Whig in the
State. It would demonstrate that the
maintenance of principles, and not the
resurrection of a party, is our object;
-and it would tend to ceirient together
the Free-soil men into great and
invincible - Freedom party, with the
power and the will to.place Pennsyl
vania in such a position that hereafter
it can *never% be a question with the
sleVery conspirators -whether they
may count on our, aiclor our opposi
tion. With Pollock for'-our Governor
and Wilmot in the Seriate, they would
know where to find us; and should
another occasion. arise like that of the'
passage of the Nebraska'bill, 'it would
then be demonstrated whether or not
Pennsylvania's voice cad be heard and
her influence felt as far as Washlngton.

Slavery from the Territory which
'Douglas and his associates undertook

given occasion to this rigorous and rigorously

The slaveholders can make no objection to
being put into the same category and being
subjected to the same fate with the Northern
Federalists of the- last generation. In point
of property, education, intelligence, religion,
.and good morals, the Federalists undeniably

hands of JetlerSon, nest and and that
speedily, destroy forever",the political weight

revolution of ltilltirepeated ou a larger
scale, and with this difference, that the
Virginia slaveholders, stripped of their false
democratic visors, will be undermost, and on
the top the real democracy of the North.
We think
far The meeting at the Court House
on Tuesday evening last, called fur the
purpose of starting a literary associa
tion, was well attended, and the object
of-the meeting obtained. A Constitu
tion and--.Bye-Lows were adopted,
which, though cumbersome, as it
seems to us, 'will doubtless prove sat
isfactory. But we will take the lib
erty of suggesting to those concerned
in this movement, that we think it
better fir them to become members of
the Coudersport Library Association,
and so. change the Constitution and
Bye-Laws' of this latter society as to
make it sufficient for all the literary
purposes of the village. The Library
is small, it is true, but its volumes
have been well sele6ted, and a lithe
effort now on the part of each friend
of literature in Coudersport, would
soon make the Library a credit to the
village, and a profitable place for all
to resort. We make these remarks
not to throw obStaeles in the way, of
the new movement, but to suggest a
better way of carrying it on. There
will be another meeting next Tuesday
evening at half past six. Question for
discussion :-- 7 " Is man a progressive
being?"
Affirmative. Negative.

We ask the affection of every
reader to the prospectus of theAtneri
can newspaper, which we publish in
another column. We do not recom
mend this paper because we agree
with all the measures it advocato,
fjr we have .always thought it wrong
in many important particulars.. 13
advi: ,, c oar friends to look at
prospectus and to subscribe for the
Tribune without delay, because iris
the most perfect_ in its news depart
ment or any. paper that we have ever
seen ; that is, it reports public meet
ings, lectures, movements, sayings, pad
doings of. everybody worth repeating,
as they are, and not like the New-York
Herald, Journal of commerce, and old
fogy papers generally, to suit the taste
of a certain class of readers.
There is another and most impor
tant'reaSon why all true men should
take and read the Tribune. Its whole
influence is on the side of Humanity : .
Wherever there is weakness' and sut:
fering„ there the sympathies, of the
Tribune go, to strengthen and relieve.
It endeavors to increase the intellt-
Bence of the ianoratit by improving
and perfecting our system of common
schools, by building. up manual labor.
colleges, free lyceums, lecturei, and
readino• ° rooms; and in • every other
way. It bps labored incessantly, and:
with unfaltering' zeal, to thy up the
fountain of misery•and crime which is
supplied by the sale of intoxicating
drinks. It is - also an. excellent - agri
cultural paper, for it keeps the farmer
thoroughly booked up in all the im
provements of stock, farming imple
ments, and the best method of tilling
the soil. Thus all classes will be bcne
fitted by reading the Tribune, and we
hope its already largo list in the county
will be doubled by the first of January
next.
