INGHAM, of Asylums. Our Comity Ticket. We announced last week, the nominations made by the Democratic County Convention, and the ful proceedings of that body will be found in our pa per this week. It will be seen that every district kt the County was represented, and not a single seat was contested. The proceedings were mark ed with an unusual degree of good feeling, and a disposition to acquiesce cordially in its decision.— The candidates nominated for Representative', are Marko . Arfoellreeell, of Othillea. greisak 11111stfles, of Poise. Mr. W. represented this County in the Lert..;.la trim, last winter, and his course as a Represents five met the' support and applause ot his constitu ency. I-fe was a first supporter ot the plicy of the lamented Burst, mid stood steadfast in his sup port, whenr an many wavered. His re-election will be an earnest that the• I)trwrooracy of Bradford hold those principles yet dear ; and will sustain the men who sustained them. - Mr. S. is well known to the citizens of our Coun ty, having for several years been Clerk to the Corn- Missioners, and receiving the office of , Treasurer at their hands, by the unprecedented!) , large ma jority ofloBo votes. He is at present, a citizen of Canton township, an uniform and consistent demo crat, of unquestionable abifey'and unsullied integ rity, a man justly esteemed for his many good qua hetes. Placed by circumstances ; at an early age, as the only medium of support to an aged father and mother, and`being incapacitated from manual labor by a permanent lameness, which renders- him a cripple for lkfc, his energies have been devoted to study and the acquirement of useful knowledge. In business and intercourse with the people, he has secured their approbation, and he will receive his reward in their suffrages His Legislative coarse will be marked by a firm and unyielding support of all questions ccmceming the rights of the people, and an uncompromising opposition •to monopolies and corporations. The candidate for Sherif, Adams Arposersti, of tritlis, Is a farmer by occupation. It requires no eulogy from us two tee • those who know him of his wot4h.— Three years as Commissioner of the County has impressed the nutty brought in contact with him, of the many good qualities he possesses. His abili-• ty or fitness to discharge the duties of the office, crone will question, and his talent, integrity, and high moral bearing place him above reproach. He is, and has ever been, a• firm and unwavering de mocrat. He is Wive and energetic in all he un dertakes, and has acquired the reputation of being one of the most prompt and correct business men of the county. It is universally admitted by all who know him, that he will make a humane and effi cient public officer,—and that the interests of the public may be safely confided to lis charge. The Candidate for Prothonotary, JIM. idwrerd Craisdal, of Joitke, Is in every way qualified to make an efficient and , popular officer. He was biought forward by his own township, and will be sustained by a large wee the East, where he is bestAnovrn. To our democratic friends in the West, we look for united and vigorovevaction in his behalf, as the regularly nominated candidate, every way worthy their con- Sdence, and entitled to their support. Let every ene who wishes for the success of democratic prin ciples, and the prostration of federalism, lend a helping hand. We desire to see , . them' active and dirment. The-effice of Prothonotary, is an impor tant one, and should not be lost by the apathy or inactivity of oar friends. The candidate presented by the democratic convention is well worthy the support of every democrat. He is an accomplish ed scholar, a ready accountant, and accustomed to business requiring all the skill and ability of the most desterous s clerk. He is well qualified for the office, and if elected, as we predict he will -be, by a large majority, will do honor to the station. The candidate for Register and Recorder, • isse l lareo Mask .f fllOtor, Was placed in nomination by an unprecedented large,vote, evincing clearly the estimation in which he is held by the people. He was brought forward. by the delegates from Ulster, the town in which he formerly lived o having moved to this place to dis charge the &Mei of jailor. He is emphatically a • eandidate of the people. Dependent entirely upon his own exertions to secure- a livelihood, he has struggled for some time under adverse ebettnustan cos, and with impaired physical energies, which render him incapable of . perionning manual labor. Ills election will be .ecredit to the party, and will sedum to the county the services of an able and ef ficient officer. He is qualified to disoblige thedo lies of the office, in as eminent marmerovifile his - urbane, accommodating - and gecileacraltdePtar meat, will ;ive universal pulilic satisfaction. There can be no doubt of his election by a tremendous The can date for Commissioner, -Alarm .fliabeatifre *Or", is gamer 11 that "r* "111116/ 61) mlibio as toOlia.‘ll44 is iiiimore the at Cciagy Olaf* ate* wiliat tit.

Wildhoss, .1 aftesialle4 Although a young mai, is already wen known as an-undeviating democrat, and an educated and po lished gentleman. He is undoubtedly fitted for the Auditing of the Cooney business, tah by edocation and practice, and our county transactions can have no better or more faithful Auditor. The candidate for Coroner, l'l. J. lieherms, of Jogiatts, Is also a young man, of unquestionable democra cy, and of correct and prompt business habits. He is well acquainted with the duties devolving upon the office, seri - will discharge them with ability and energy. , Demberets of Bradford ! These are the names you have selected 'tin your candidates—men who are, and ever have been, true to the principles you cherish, who never deserted those principles for the prospect of gain. Your duty is plain. It is to en ter manfully into the conflict, and by a firm, con sistent and decisive course, to carry your nominees to victory. Let personal predilection and past pm. ferences be forgotten. Let us hoist the Banner of DEMOCRACY to the breeze, and under its glorious kikis once more fight for success. On it is inscrib ed the names of the democratic candidates nomi. noted by the spontaneous voice of . the party, and in accordance with its usages. We believe if can be said of every man on the ticket—r" He is honest and capable? We call upon our democratic friends in every township to rally in its support—let their motto be, the ticket—and the whole ticket That it will receive the hearty support of every true De mocrat, in the country,we do not for a moment doubt, and that it will triumphantly succeed we write down as morally certain. Our Waled* Ticket. We cannot too strongly urge upon our Democra tic friends the necessity' of an active and eneigefic support of all the candidates on our county ticket.— Let every one remember that ourlrotto is "prin ciples nut men." As it is impossible for all to be gratified in the selection of candidates, we adopt the delegate system, as the most democratic, and the one best calculated to unite the action of the party upon our candidate for each office, and in do- ing so, there must of course, and of necessity, be a sacrifice to some extent of personal preferences to preserve union of strength. Hence, it is the duty al of the delegates , when they mble in conven tion, to pursue a system of cone 'ration ; otherwise their deliberations would be ch racterized by dis cord, and result in disunion, distraction, and defeat; and thus enable our enemies to strike a blow, which would defeat our candidates and prostrate our repu blican blican principles. When a county ticket is fotrned, as it now is, by the harmonious action of the convention of dele, gates, composed of men who maintain and advo cate true republican principles, it certainly becomes the duty, and should be the pleasure of every one who professes the name of democrat—who is go verned by the principles he professes, and the time honored usages of his party, to 4ve the whole tick et his cheerful, ardent and undivided support. We have a ticket 'composed of men, who in point of moral and political integrity, are entirely rules eeptionable, and let democrats remember, that in giving their votes for the candidates on the demo cratic ticket, they are supporting the measures of oor late fepublican Governor against a wily federal I bank' aristocracy. In short, let every democrat go to the polls with this motto for bis guide :," Verret) we STAN D— lDivinr.n we FAI4.; " and with a determination to sustain the principles of his-political faith; then, tyhen the battle is ended and the victory won; he will be able to mingle in the feelings of general hy, with thi. friends of Democracy, in a complete and ! glorious triumph over his enemies. Wm. Morris Leasstretla. The nomination of this gentleman to the Demo cratic .candidate for Governor, Is received by the Democracy of this county, with universal and en thusiastic approbation. He was the first choice of our ever reliable Democracy, and they will respond to his nomination by an old-fashioned Stoma mit -061. The Democracy of Pennsylvania are fortunate in having Morals Los:carmen' as their standard-bear er, and our good old Commonwealth is equally fortunate in the prospect there is, of his being ele vated to rule her destinies and direct to prosperity, her interests. The mantle of the statesman and patriot,-the lamented Smninc, could have fidlen up en no More worthy shoulders. We have a guar anty in his election, that the policy wi ich has so wisely directed the conbcils of State, during the pastiew years, will be continued in bim—and Mo nopoly and chartered privileges, find in Morris Longstreth, the same firm and undeviating friend to the people and their rights, which made our late Governor such a bright exemplar. The Democracy of the Keystone wilt elevate him to the Gubernatorial chair, over the candidate of the Banks—Wm. F. Johnston—by an overwhel ming majority, which shall testify, [or a second. time their approval of the policy of our late Governor.

All parties the South, would exult in his defeat—then why should not all parties here unite in his support!

An immense meeting was held in New York,on Friday last. The.meeting was addressed by Dud ley Se'den, David Graham, and other leading and well known Whigs. Upwards of five thousand Whigs attended it, and amid vast enthusiasm, Hen ry Clay was nominated as the Whig candidate for the Presidency in opposition to Gen. Taylor. A. complete Clay Electoral ticket for New York is about to be forme'', a whig platform has been erec ted, and Clay Clubs.are about to be organized all over the country. The "candying" over of Gen.

ALEX. H. STEPHENt.—We received at an early hour yesterday, by telegraph, the announcement of a terrible rencontre, which has probably resulted in the death of the Non. At.gamin= H. Sraritatis, one of the most talented and courteous members of the present Congress. The National Intelligencer learns that the rencon tre took place at Atalanta, Georgia, on Sunday last. Mr. &imprimis was travelling in the railroad cars, and upon getting oat at the tavern in that place to dine was met by . Mr. Kos; late a Circuit Judge in Georgia, who soddenly assaulted him with a dirk knife, laiOlifik five severe wounds, two of which were in the breast, and one of them is supposed to be mortal. This lamenting occurrence, which came upon us with startling suddenness, will eScite a Jeep feel ing throughout the Union, whether our worst fears as to Mr. Stephens' fate be realized or not. Un der.any circumstances t so foal q deel should be visited by universal condemnation; but we refrain from further comment until the whole foots are laid before us in a more authentic shape. IsmErtorrr or a Lsov.—A remarkable instance of intrepidity and coolness was exhibited at the Blue Lick Springs a few days ago by Miss L, a belle of Bourbon county in this State. Miss L and Mr. F., a gentleman from the South, on their return from an excursion on horseback, were riding down the long hill, about a quarter of a mile from the hotel, at full speed, the lady being a little ahead. At a sudden tom of the road, the gentleman's sad ele turned, and he fell from his horse, but his foot remained in the stirrup, and the horse, although his pace was somewhat slackened, kept on his way, dragging the fallen man upon the ground. The' young lady seeing this, reined in her own horse by a sudden effort, leaped from him whilst he was still in rapid motion, ran back, seized the other horse byy the bridle, and released her gallant from• his perilous situation. This feat was witnessed by hundreds at the Springs, who could find no words strong enough to• express their admiration of the daring courage of the beautiful young heroine.—[Louisville Journal. Comosrrtes now Mextco.—Doring his residence at Trope, Mexico, as Gave= of the province, Lieut. Wm. D.

They go out (free of expense) under the auspices of the Australian land and emigration commission_ era, and have been selected by them from the Unions of Ireland.

TAYLOR &NOME WILMOT PROVISO. - Some of, the Democratic papers are poblishinea letter written by General Taylor in the spring of 1847, to the editor of the Ohio Signal, to make him out a Wilmot Proviso man: The letter was sus ceptible of a construction that would make General Taylor seem to favor that doctrine. Brit the charge is easily put to rest, for General Taylor has himself denied that he merit. to favor it. -We supposed that this denial on his part was generally known. One thing iacertain, the editor, to whomihe letter ,was written, and.who interpreted it to favor the proviso, has long since given it up and General Taylor with it. He now opposes him because he knows that kis in: terpretotions teere.erecnicons. Our Democratic friends will find that they have comb upon a mare's nest in this matter. They might as well give it up at once, for though •they may be g , as brisk ps a bee in a tar pot"' for a while in making the charge, they will find themselves stuck fast by it before they are done. The Genes.: al owns too many of the "nigger/0 for that ; and he will not go for the Prove's:l till somebody can make oue of the blackest ones white, by washing him. Frans the Matagorda (Texas) Tribune of Mutj 22. Speaking,of Taylor— "lf elected our institutions—we speak ont—shr r.aN will f ill under the protection of his ea,gie eye and his giant arm. Who does not know that that institution is in some shape or other under dally discussion in Congress, and that at this moment the Southern members are ill at ease, in consequence of new and - fearful movements being made in rela tion to ill The old Nestor of the South,: Mr Cal houn, warns us that we are approaching a crisis', premiant with danger, and that before long we will have to toe the mark." From the Marion (.1&z.) Review of July 6 GEN. TAYLOR AND THE WILMOT PROVISO. Democratic editors must be possessed with a feel ing something akin to desperation, when they think it necessary - , in order to sustain the Democratic cause, to accuse Gen: Taylor of unsoundness on the question of slavery. The charge carries such an absurdity on ha very face, as not to deserve a se rious refutation. General Taylor. a Southern Mau; the destiny of himself and his children identified with that of the South, his. immense wealth consis ting in slaves, and land which have to be cnhiva ted by slaves to - render it valuable—be an 'enemy to the South !—.he in - favor of. prostrating- Southern rights and interests ! ! The very quintessence of ab smithy. They might as welt say that General Tay lor is a free negro. They Would be believed just about as soon, and ethibit fully at -much reason and truth is making the charge. THE REASON. From the New Orkans Bee. One reason why -the South'should sustain Taylor for the, Presidency with great unanimity, is--brotusr his nomination affords a final and unlooked for chance of electing a Sot -runts Max to that office. The importance of placingat the bead of the 4.;ov moment one 'arbo r from birth, .ussocuuolv, and CONNECTION, is ineiciatOol with, the south, and will fearlessly orttot.n her rizhts and guard' her from oppression, cannot fail to strike every mind. In this twit, his election becomes a matter of vital moment to the SLAVEHOLDING PORTION of the Confederacy. From the Aberdeen (dlu.). Whig.
