We most hea;tily congratulate our democratic friends upon the favorable aspect presented in our political af fairs Ihis fall. At no period within our recollection, hiss the party in Bradford been more happily and harmimi ously united. Never was a ticket selected which gave more general and entire sati,fartion. We base not heard the first note of discord. We hose )et to listen to the first democrat, who deco not yield cheerful and cordial assent to the nominations made by the Coun ty Convention. This is as it should be, and affords the highest possible guarantee of our triumphant success. The ticket is eminently a good one, in all its parts. There is no man upon•it, whose political fidelity has not been attested, by active_and'zealous etlorts in support of Republican principles, in seasons and under circumstan ces, that tried the steadfastness of mew faith. With each men as our candidates, no one need hesitate in their support. through fear of sustaining on enemy under 'the disguise of a friend. The campaigns of IS:38-40-II, were as the crucible of fire, to separate the dross from the pure metal. Every man upon our ticker, within the circle of his influence, and the sphere of his action, exci ted all his energies to sustain our principles, in these la ter and most trying struggles oldie party. Well may we place our confidence in such men. Those who clung to the Republican banner in the dark hour of defeat, and gallantly aided in raising it front the Lot, to the high elevation of triumphant and glorious success, are not of the clay of which traitors ,are made. We again pronotince the ticket unqualifiedly a good one; -combining a high order of talent and business capa city with political integrity above suspicion or reproach. All that is required to insure success is a reasonable de gree of activity, on the part of our friends. No demo crat should be absent from the polls, flattering himself that his friends are strong enough without his aid. Such security. open !did. Such strength is ter di-At:At 2Ve appeal then earnestly to every democrat to be as vigilant as he is turn, in the support of the principles of his party, and of the men who will sustain them. Let no whining bet4gingsyeophant for votes, from the ranks of ycur enemies, seduce you from the support of a ticket formed under the usages of yogi party, and pledged to the maintainance of its principles. Ron tlEllS.—We understand that Miller Fox, of this place fell a victim to the cunning schemes of the light fingered gentry in New York one day last week. It seems that Mr. Fox arrived in the city at a late hour and went directly on his arrival to Dunning's,Hotel. On retiring to his bed he locked his door and placed his pocket hook, counting his money, $575, under his pillow. Being much fatigued and feeling secure he slept soundly while some'adroit rascal unlocked the dour, although the key on the inside of the door was inithe lock, and alo• !graded the entire contents of the pocket book, without notice to its owner, and so Carefully that he had not the slightest intimation of any intrusion until die discovered his less in the morning. The door key Lore marks of the iri.trument which had been iuserkd in the luck, fur the purpose of turning it, and would seem to imply that lucks are no security ugainit the visits of the rogue, even with the key within. Mr. Fox's watch was lett, fortunately, the' it had been laid on the floor, by the unwelcome viAtur, who bad wound the chain around _l c he stem of the watch, and nndoubtedly, had left through fear of detection ; the watch being a very valuable one; and • easily" and cer tainly described.

Some testimony was introduced on the part of the defendants, going to show that the New York party-threw out some harsh and impro• per epithets, calculated to provoke and irritate their opponents, and thus lead to a breach of the public peace. They also undertook to show, that the affray took place between the prosecutor and Austin Ellsworth., and that These defendants were not engaged in it. 'lire Court charged the jury, that, although it was very improper fur these men to attend at the polls of a neighboring State on the day of holding election, yet. that the fact of their being there, would not justify the committing cf an assault and battery on them.

Commonwealth vs. Russell Smith and Wm. 11. 801411.-111 e s -a defendants were tried at. the saute time time on two indictments ; the first for an assault and battery on Elisha Gif ford, and the second, for an assault on Mary Gifford. The culprits were two boys, one twelve and the other fourteen years of age ; and their main. offence consisted iu throwing stones at old Mr. Gitrurd, who was a cooper, while he was engaged at work in his shop.— They also threw stones at Mary Gifford ; but it seems they did not hit her. The jury on the third, found the defendants guilty of an assault and battery •on Elisha Gifford, and guilty of an assault on Mary Gifford. The Court sentenced them to pay a fine of illy cents each in each case, and the costs of nusecution. Commonwealth vs. James Lyon, Andrew Monroe, Daniel Randall, Lysander Shepard, and \Vw. R.

The defendants were indicted for writing and singing certain libellous and seurrillous songs, designed to injure the reputation of Robert Mason, expose him to ridicule, and bring lion into reproach among the citizens of the community genenAv• His name was rmvoirectly mentioned in the eungs, but alleged to be meant by the words, .• IVhiskey Bob," which occurred in them. The songs were sung some time in Februa ry last, about the time of holding the township elections in this county. In defence, it was insisted t h at there was another man in Armenia, to whom the term Bob" would apply, and that the songs might be construed to mean him, as well as Robert Mason. It was contended on the part of the defen dants, that, as it was the practice during the last Presidential Campaign to compose and sing stings about various individuals, Mr. Ma son ought not to complain if a share were di rected at him. The Court instructed the jury, that if they believed the songs were written and sung b) the defendants, and that they meant the prose cutor, they would be liable.

Asa Gillet obtained a l judgment against John Campbell, which was subsequent ly assigned to John C. Campbell; and in this issue, John C.

Campbell is fraudulent and void mt to creditors. It was alleged that Stephen: Stiles became the owner of ao undividek.half of the land 111 question on the fourth of September 1841:. and that this interest continued until therlime 01 the Sheritrs sale in 1845. 'The testimony on the part of the defendant was, that this deed was executed for the pur pose of keeping off creditors, and that in truth there was no consideration for it.

Besley, Morley and Ily de vs. Job P. Kirby. This was an action to recover for tnerchandize sold to the defendant by the plailitiffs. The account was admitted, and the only dispuie was, in reference to some state scrip sent by Mr. Kirby to the plaintiffs, with instmentros to his agent not to pay it over unless taken at tar. The plaintiffs, however, were importu nate to have the scrip, which was accordingly paid over to them, and they disposed of it in market for less than par ; and in the present suit, claimed to be allowed the discount they paid. The Court charged the jury, that they ought to allow the whole arnolint of the scrip, and judgment was taken by consent, for the plaintiff, the amount to be ascertained by the counsel. James Martin vs. Christopher L. Ward and Byron Kingsbury. In this case the plaintiff claimed that CM the sale and delivery of filly three thousand one hundred and eighty-six feel of lumber, he paid the defendants one thou sand dollars. and that in consideration of this payment, the defendants agreed to deliver to the plaintiff by the first reasonable rafting freshet after the first day of April, 1E342, a fair lot of culling, boards at the rate of ten dollars per thousand. This action was brought to recover damages for the nun-performance of this contract. The defendants contended that they did de liver more than enough to satisfy the terms of the contract. The jury found for the defendants. Daniel Kieffe vs. James Nestor. This was an action of account-render, brought by the plaintiff to recover of the defendant his share of the profits of an alleged partnership between the plaintiff and defendant. The defendant proved that the plaintiff was •merely employed by hint as foreman in over seeing work on the canal, and that in a suit between Fuller and him for blacksmith work, Kiere was offered as a witness,. and that ob-' jection being made on the ground of his betng a partner with Nestor, he swore that he was not ; and that, consequently, he had no tater est in the event of that suit. The Court charged the jury, that Kieffe fiat lug formerly sworn that he was not a partner. woLid now be precluded from coming into court and/recover ing by setting up a partnership, and directed them to find for the defendant ; which was ac cordingly done. FRIDAY, Sept. 12th. On motion of 11. W. Patrick, Esq.. John E. Canfield was duly admitted as an Attorney of the several courts of Bradtordcounu. James H. Clark vs. Thomas Wolcott. This was an action of trespass for seizing and selling a horse and harness as the property of Oliver Sherman, which the plaintiff alleged belonged to him. The plaintiff called witnesses, who swore that Oliver Sherman, being desirous to remove to Indiana, agreed to sell this property to him on condition of his taking him thittler. The contract was entered into on the sixth day of June 1843, and a few days alter, when Sher man had started for the West, the property was seized' on an attachment and subsequently The defence set up was, that Sherman being indebted beyond nut ability to pay, was desi rou,s of leaving this county with as much of his property as possible ; and that with this intention, the pretended sale of this property took place. That the property remained in the possession of Sherman, and was used by him as his own from the sixth day of June, the time of the alleged transfer, till the tenth of June, the day when was seized upon by virtue of an attachment irtfavor of Dr. Wilder. The jury in the case of Clark vs. Wolcott, t returned a Y rdict for the defendant. The Gran jury during the present term, returned seven een indictments, true bills, and two ignoramus. At the close of their labors, the ., Grand Jury unanimously expressed their opinion that the great multiplicity of suits with which our Court Of Quarter Sessions is crowded, is a great pub lic grievance, leading to increased taxation for the purpose of paying the costs. FRIDAY, Sept.

A GENTLnaI :—Our New Orleans' friends will doubtless be glad to bear about;.nrafters and things at this noted place.whiCh is now aic: theatre of Military. operations between two great opposing republics—both immensely greet. so far as territory is concerned., but big and little in all other respects. Col. II: L-. Kinney, the proprietor of the Rancho, arrived here on the 22. d instant. from the convention at Anson, having obtained leave of absence from that body. On his route hither, he passed through San Antonio de Bexar ; and while there, lam informed. had an interview with three .of the most thstingnised chiefs of the Cumanche and Lipari tribes of Indians—Buffa lo fluor, Yellow Well, and Same Anna. The latter; as you niav live heard, is the famous chief who. during the last year or two, has been ianeing shout the country west of this, and (taming such b ivoc. 111 isle nod property-. On the Rio Grande and elsewhere; and who, from his own account, as Well as from tutor elation otherwise received, headed the parties attacked this plaCe several times during that period. It appears that he was determin ed, if possible. to break up the Ranche, but all his efforte to thotend proved fruitless. The - ;', - essunal appearance of this, noted w r w h eit ilressed . aud mounted for a\fight. snide - those whO have seen him too often scribed it,s: about here, as being 'very imposing; while, at t h e sane time, nothing I can say would give you ,et Idea of his brivery and energy in ac tion.

The meeting of these two men at Dexar must have been very exciting—finding themselves on friendly terms so soon after having been opposed to each other in deadly conflict, and so narrowly escap ing with their lives. Col. K. reports that about 400 Cumanches had recently started from the interior, on a campaign to Mexico, all of whom profess to be on friendly terms with Texas. It is to be inferred, therefore, that, should it be necessa ry to increase the force of Uncle Sam and Texas combined, to whip our bhotketted neigh bors. (than Which, however ; nothing is more absurd.) the aid of the brave Comanche could be secured. On the 20th instant. General Mehta arrived at Matamoras, from the interior, with 1,500 men. That place has recently been doubly fortified. Gen. Arista, with his forces, (the number of which is not correctly known,) is still at Monterey. 'Gen.

The stoup is located immediately above town, on the Lank of the bay, in a very plea sant, airy place, where a good supply of Water is to be had by digging only soma five or six feet deep.
