The Comity Ticket.
The Convention which met last evening, placed
in nomination the gentlemen whose names we
have placed at the head of our paper. We have
only room to say, that the Democrats oithis County
have now in the field good and unexcePtinnable
candidates, and they have only to exert themselves,
to elect them triumphantly.
The Convention appointed Hon. lir ens Wittica
and D. VANnencooe, Congressional Conferees, with
instructions nnanimonsfy adopted, to use every ex
ertion to re-nominate lion. D..Wilmot.
Resolutions were adopted approving of the no.
mination of MORRIE , LONGSTRETH and Isa.txt. PAlN

Hon. G. W. WOODWARD for U. S. Senator.
Congressional Contereree.
The Conferees from Bradford, Susquehanna and
!raga, met at this place last evening and re nomi
nated lion. D. Witmer open the first ballot.
The Democracy of this District will now have
an opportunity to show how, unyielding is their at
tachment 'to the great principle of :Freedom with
which Mr. Wilmot is identified, and of shielding
him from the malicious attacks of its entimies
Ilia triumphant re-election is certain, by an over
whelming, majority.
Cass •wn Dasler Meeting.
A meeting of the friends of Cass and Butler 'WM
holden at the Court House, in this borough on
rumlay evening 28th ult., the proceedings of which
trill be found in another column.
The 'meeting was addressed at considerable
length, by Hon. SlretiVN Svacnio y of Owego, whose
main emdearre was to con vinc e the Dernoeracy
of Bradford of the uncohstitutionality of the Pro
viso !
A series of resolutions were therrweported and
adopted. A resolution offered by, 01. D. M. Bull ;
wai.abso adopted, after considerable debate.
Since the meeting, those who were particularly
desirions for the passage of the Resolution, have
openly declared it as positively intended as a re
buke of Mr. Wilmot. The design is as palpable,
as the fraud is gross and wilful. Should those en
gaged in this scheme succeed, it will be only by
that kind of mean and malicious trickery, which
men practice, who dare not openly show their
hand. This perversion of the resolution will be
liberally circulated, with a design to luive an effect
for Democrats throughout the county, especially, on
the delegates to the Democratic County Conten
tion, prejudicial to Mr. Wilmot ; and if possible, as
has bempubliely threatened to "stab him." This
is - no new moverhent. A concocted attempt to
strike him down, has been aoncieved for years;
the present, is ie . ized, as an Auspicious occasion for
their work. An attempt was made by the same
men in this county, to denounce him, because of
his propositiod in favor of free soil ; failing in this,
they now make artodier;attempt with no other ob
ject, if they succeed, than to proclaim abroad, that
'the 12th Congressional district repudiates the man
and his " Proviso." This is the whole plot, and
it is now useless to expect to conceal it.' We do
net mean by this that all who voted for the rescrla
lion in question, done so with an intention to de
nounce Mr. Wilmot: indeed many would have
done otherwise, hail they supposed any such con
struction of it, would be attempted.
In order to a full understanding of thiiresolation,
it is proper to ,7,iv.e somewhat in ;Retail, what tool
place at this meeting. This we propose to do ac
curately ; and appeal to every member, and espe
cially the °dicers of that meeting, for the exact cor
rectness of our statements.
A Committee was appointed to draft and report
resolutions ; the resolutions they reported were
adopted. linmediately Col. D. M. Bull offered a
resolution, fubotautially the sames the one allud
ed to, and precisely the same,. except the last
clause, Mr. Sanderson moved as an amendment
to strike out aft alter the word." pow." E. W.
Baird, Esq., then made a speech against the amend
rent, and in fiVor of the resolution. Col. Mallet
then followed with a speech in opposition to there
solution, alleging that the resolution was intended
• by the mover ot it, as an attack on Mr. Wilmot *.
and that it was descending -ho low for the meet
ing tottio mimed in attacking private individuals.
He then proposed to alter the part proposed to be
stricken out ; he did so—the resolution as altered
by Cot. Pietist wills accepted as a modification by
Col. Bull. To the charge made by Col.
sigaitistrol. Bull, the mover of the to elution, Col.
Stud siepliexl, that he lest nu such intention. Cul.
finalist Oast beg;geil the gentleman's pardon for
having posts the charge. R. W. Baird thew rose
IN 1114 e 4 14 k•Nytki44iipti ; tletialing that be had 40
such tintention. Col. PioHet 'then ducleimed any
allusion to him, (Mr. Baia) in what he said. pee

noxious, anti that flea henries en*. Warne' would . ,
as soon as himself pet a eimerectimson it to ink

resolution than to strike at him. Col. Millet then
spoke *Aiwa iheresolittion, protesting-against
such a construction of ,the resolution to the preju
dice of Mr. Wilmot ; and that it was intended for
Martin Van &nen only, and uttered 1y him for the
purpose of giving a special reference to him alone.
D. Cash and Win. Elwell also addressed the meet
ing in favor of the resolution, taking the same view
of it that Cot. Violist had. These resolutions in
(Weed nevem!, whom we know to be personally
friendly to Mr. Wilmot, to vote for the resolution
and against " striking gut," and we know, that
they now repudiate any construction, like that at
tempted to be put on it : and without whose votes,
it could not have been carried. The discussion on
both side was very warm and tontinned until mid
night. By this time the meeting became reduced
to about thirty who participated in it—several of
flies° were transient persons, in the employ, of Mr.
Hayden, brought by him to the meeting and de
tained to vote for the resolution. We are not dis
appointed in the use that is now being made of tb
resolution. Passed as it was, only after the ....,
solemn assurance that allusion was intended to no!
person but 54r. Van Buren ; and this persisted in
we ask, what must be the julgment of candid men,l,
upon the fraud now attempted to be palmed upon.
Democrats! it will be that, and that only, of tieornv
and contempt. When the time comes that Mr.
,Wilmot has not the confidence of the Democracy
of Bradford, who doubts, but they will openly, and
fearlessly declare it. They will not skulk under
false pretensions, and with falsehood in their hearts
assert one thing concerning him, and do another;
and they basely traduce the integrity of that Demo
cracy, who now invoke it, for the purpose of aid
ing and abetin a scheme to gratify personal ha
tred, against Mr. Wilmot. We have spoken of
this cowardly attack on Mr Wilmot, just as it is;
and just as the circumstances demand: To say that
the Democracy of Bradford dare not exercise their
deliberate judgment only under the cover of false
hood, is vilification, which they would resent with
scout; what less than this is done, by those, who,
in the name of that Democracy attempt to de
nounce Mr. Wilmot on the strength of those reso
lotions.
♦ Proper Seatilasent.
There is one feature in the condnct of the officers
of our Army and Navy, which distinguishes them
from, and in truth we may say, elevates them
above, those engaged in similar employments in
every other country on earth. We refer to ti at
wholesome and proper forbearance to iv ingle ac
tively and personally in the political strifes and di
visions of our people. Abroad, as a matter almost
of course, an Epaulette is a badge of political ser
vitude, as well as an indication that its owner is
devoted to the military service of his country. If
it be the. will of the sovereign to stifle the progress
of free opinions, his official minions are the natu
ral and ready instruments for the work. Here, the
case is widely different. We see amongst the life
officers in the regular service, as few cases of ob
trusion from their poper sphere into the political
discuspions of the day, as we do of desecration of
the more sacred callings of the pulpit.
We have been led to these reflections, on seeing
the following proper and just sentiment in a letter
of the gallant COL fay--one of the heroes of the
Rio Grande—in a reply to an invitation to attend a
political meeting :
"i have always regarded it as improper in offi
cers of the Army to involve themselves in any of
the political contests of this County ; and for this
reason have always avoided taking sides with ei
ther party on political occasions, although i firmly
entettain the opinions of the party you represent.•'

for the Democracy but to adhere with firmness to
those principles of "justice and equality" Which

fire by night."
Resolved. That - we will give to the nominlee of
the Suite Convention for Governor that suiport.
which will show that the Democratic host of Brad
ford, were marshalled as one man for the cobtest.
Resolved, That the office of Canal Commission
er is scarcely second in importance to any State
office; and therefore that the name of biases pars
