The Congressional Q,sestion.
Since the issue of our last paper. we have bad
an opportunity of conversing with many of our
most reliable and active Derriocrats, and have been
griitified to ascertain that our views in rei,, , ard to the
nomination for Congress, meets with universal and
hearty approbation.
The feeling is general and intense, that to prop,:
erly succeed in the coming contest, the
DAVID WILMOT Fliould be the candidate of the
Democratic party. That success with pip:other can
didate would be but partial i triumph. ant t would be
retarded by the Slavery 7 proyagand.i, an indica
tion that the staunch Demootr-' acy of thiS District had
wavered in their support of be principle of the Jef
terJonian ordinance. , Whatever other counties
may dn, this can-never with trpth be said of Brad
ford. They will continue II maintain their consis.
tericy upon this, as they hare upon .all the great
questions of the day; with their banner Beating.
pmcidly in the breeze, have they, fought many an
arduous fight, and they are not now ready to lower
it to - any foe. They are reatly once more to do bat
tle under its glorious folds, confident of the justice
of their cause. and certaic of success.
We have heard apprehensions manifested that
the action of the Susquehanna County Convention
was intended merely as a subter fuge to quiet the
people, while the leaders seek to accomplish the
overthrow of Mr. WiLmcrr. That the apparent de
votion to the cause of Freedom was to be the mask
behind which to betray and mislead the manses.—
ye do not believe mach apprehensions need be en
tertained. The peolite of Susquehanna county, we
hare every reason to believe, a!here with firm
ness to the principle of the ftroriso. They will in
sist upon the resolution of itilstroction being carried
ow' in its spirit. The schem*i" of ambitions men,
will find no favcr at their*ds.
Most certaitly no arranOments which savor the
least of tricked}', no equivotation, no double.cleal
ing, no depatting from principle will be submitted
to by Bradford. They will demand a candidate
whose opinions are known and unmistakeable up.
on the question of Slavery extension. A candidate
who has nerve enough to stand up against the
mighty influences - which debauch public men at
Washington—a candidate who can be, depended
upon in every emergency. Mere pledges and pro
fessions will not do. There ire traitors enough
in .Congress—your Dickinsous and Cooper;, and
Thompson.. The candidaje who expects to re.
wive the vote of Bradford, Inuit already have giv•
en proofs of his fidelity tot, and his ability to pas.
win, the great principle which the Susquehanna
COncention has declared par:amount to all othecs
in the coming contest. This might as well be un
derstood now, as at last.
That no new candidate has yet been named who
comes fully up to this standard, we are obliged re
luctantly to admit. While we hare no disposition
now to canvass the character, claims and position
of the gentletiAn whose names we have heard
mentioned in come:ion with this of f ice, *a are
frank to say to them that their nomination •now,
would not satisfy the Demcer icy of Bradford. The
deep and universal feeling is aroused, that an at.
tempt is being made, to prostrate the principle
which they have zealously sustained, and to strike•
down their best servant for his drivolion and 'con
stancy to their pnterests. They feel they can only
fully triumph with the triumph of their tried and
faithful Representative; that his defeat is their de.
'feat. That to rebuke foreign interference and do .
mestic yam* they should once more uphold their
standard-bearer, and bear bin' unharmed through
the fires of persecution. r
' Could another candidati
be found, whose tri
umphant election,, would on] as complete and ef
fectual victory, they would not insist upon men or
county tines, but would rally With enthusiasm
around him. Both word] give r ay to their zea
, and desire to see their pinciples: fully carried out
Where will such a candidate be found? We ask
it with seriutisneas and earneetnesa. We have
heard the name of my, man yet mentioned, who
from our sources of information, we believe would
•at this critical juncture, be acceptable to the demon.
,aacy of thiaDistrict. On most ordinary occasions,
the gentlemen who have been pht forwanl, would
not be in danger of rejection—nor would We now
add one word against their character po i reputation,
, but they must see that public expectation demands
a man clearlfidentified with the principle which
neither have ever very zealously maintained.

this feat lessly, and earnestly, as we feh the groins
Dees and nutgaitude of the fraud attempted.

IVe have tams a new chapter in this same
scheme, to open, in perfect keeping with the
li . onorable plot, from its first conception abroad, to
its consommition at 'nom. To substantiate what
we shalisay, we have the most positive and un
controvertible proof. First then
We chirp upon Mr. B. F. POWELL, the editor o f
the Bradford Argus, the authorship of the curnatuai
cation in the North Pennsylvanian, of Arse 3,
signed "I," retailing wane of the stale slanders,
concerning Ham David Wdmot.
We charge trysni . C. L. WARD, the authorship cf the
editorial in that paper of the same ante, prefacing
date, signed "A CASS 'MAN OF '48."
The correctness oT these charges, thus plainly and
emphatically masle, we can demonstrate to any one
who is incredulous or curious, by prOof now in our
possession, which will satisfy the most doubting,
and place this dia.-graceful trickery of a pretended
democratic journal beyond all doubt or cavil.
The development of these facts does nut astonish
us. We have from the first, known that Mr. Ward
was the editor and controller of the North Peonsyi
oanion. We have also known that that paper was
especially in the favor of some of the %Vbl leaders
of thjs County, and we are not surprised that evi
dences
should mow come In light of collusion and
concert of action between its editor and proprietor
and the editor of the Bradford ArgniS h •
Fellow-Democrats ! what a tact is ere !
when disreputable and shameful this fraudw
appeafrs, hen
bared to the light! B. F. POWELL,
,the leditor of
the Whig Argus here, a most deadly and zealous foe
to the Democratic party, " claimb the . right to talk I
to Us FELLOW-DEMOCRAT'S," through the I
coltimos of the North Pennsylvanian, while C. L.
Wird, whose democracy stands not a whit fairer,
says the author "is a respectable citizen of this
county"—(borough, it was first printed) —and adds,
' I let such men as the, writer only act with rigi
lance ; let them sacrifice time and patience, and the
glorious principles, for which he manifests such
'warm ardor, will be vindicated ind sustained."—
There is no driubt of this :—let the schemes of Mr.
Ward be canimd out, in conjunction with the labors
of. Mr. Powell, and the latter can exult, thiough
the columns of his own paper, over the downfall of
democratic principles.

This too, whoin the authorship is well-known, and
vouched for ! Out upon such shameful hypocrisy
and fraud. It should consign the perpetrators to
the arras of the. whig party at once, towards which
they seem to have such a predilection. That Mr
Powell should seek to divide the Democratic party
of this County and Congressional district, is not at
all wonderful, nor that be should seek by throwing
fire-brands into our midst to stir up rancor and ill
will. A
s mote scrupulous person might perhaps
hesitate at the means employed, but the conduc
tors of Democratic journal& will second his schemes,
he cannot be blamed.
While Mr. Powell " talks to his fellow Demo.
crate," Mr. Ward also appearsin a new character.
The facility witlitwhich be changes is wonderful.—
He now assume 3 to beau CASS MAN OF '4B !"
and seeks to array one portion of the lientoeracy
against 'mother, by taking that. title. It is well
known that he was a supporter of Taylor, in 1848,
with a kind of pretended hankering after Tan Bo
ren, and actually went about the polls at the Presi
dential election to find some Cass-man who would
agree to vote for Van Boren with him ! - And yet
this changeling, has the audacity to appear over
the signature of " a Case man of '48." . And rich-
er yet is it to find Mr. WARD, in his own editorial,
-prefacing the communication of which he is the
