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

is well acquainted with the duties devolving upon
the office, seri - will discharge them with ability and

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.

upon this District is fixed the anxious attention of
the whole country. Whatever may be said here,
by personal enemies, or interested political oppo

election only the great issue with which the name
of Mr. Warm is so close associated. His sprees@

I questions of the fine moment, and in our judgment,
are directly involved in the re-election or defeat of
Mr. Wimscrr. •Of his re-election, we cannot, and
do Dot, entertain a doubt. His mernsistands re-norni

seems as if them should be but one voice upon the
question of Mr. Wilmot's return to Congress, as
there is but one judgment as to the• propriety and
justice of his course. All parties the South,
would exult in his defeat—then why should not all
parties here unite in his support! Such we firmly
believe would be the case, if patriotism and the

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

The "candying" over of Gen. Taylor's nomina

honest indignation felt by thousands of Whigs, who

ASSACLT UPON HON. 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.

Whereas, it is a paramount duty of all delegated
Conventions of the democratic party, Willfully to

t:a of candidates; and especially in times of deep'
and intense feeling, not to hazard success by un
wisely,resisting u s current, where just and proper
results are likely to be obtained-, and in considera
tion of the peculiar position of our present Repre•
sentative in Congress, as identified with the great
question of " Free Soil,"—the assembled delegates

GEN. 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.
"ALL WITH US.-
There iA one important question to be considered
in relation to General Zachary Taylor as a condi ,
date for President. He is the onlij man south of Aid
son and Dizon's line who can ever he elected!
There is no other man upon whom the enthusi
asm and boundless admiration of the whole nation`
are socompletely centered, as upon General Zacha
ry Taylor. , •
.cfn even yid. thrilling, and highly dangerous crisis
haS been forced upon the rountry by livoloce Dema
gogues, regardless of the sanctity of that Union irlaiW
is so dear to every patriotic American . . citizen. The
Wilmot Proviso, it is called, has , opened a frierll4
mine f beneath thefoundationaf-ti..saercd Constitution.'
That mine may explode at the hour of midnight, and
forever destroy the proudest fabric of human virfor.
To avert this threatgned evil, to close the mfg,lay
ehasm that begins to yawn between the free and
the slave states, is a duty we owe to ourselves the
our posterity, to the memory of the illustrious dead..
How shall this be done? - N •
We must elect a morn for. President if the Mita
States who Anoxia our own sunny South; who
willing to peril all for the Constitution . who, tom
the South and HER CHERISHED' -INSTITU
TIONS, and yet will do ample jitstice to the Mirth-
And last, •thonh not least, we must, to insure suer
cess, support a candidate for the Presidency of such
