We have printed a large Euppty of tickets tor the
Democratic candidates, and our friends trom . their
respective townships are.requested,as they have an
,ipportunity, to call at our,oftice, and see that their
.;iF.f riets are well-provided.
• call, the attention of Democrats to the
importance of having their supply of tickets cut and
lulded, and tied up in 'proper sets, each bundle to
contain the whole ticket to be voted for from Guy
error to Coroner—thirteen ballots in all. The large
umber of candidates makes this absolutely neces
sary:, and"we trust some - Democrat initzrery district
will, sea, that iris done. Ay adopting thi) , plan the
vote will
_b more uniform, and the success of
our whole ticket more certain. Whereas, by air
tribming tickets loose, some are test, or unintention
ally omitted.
The Election.
Between this and the day of election, every effort
which can be put forth in the despairing waggles
'of two parties, will be•brought in requisition to de.
feat The democracy of Bradford. Against us all their
batteries are'direetetl, and over oar prostration they
hope to raise the about of victory.
The democracy of Bradford have heretofore nobly
sustained themselves aga.nFt the combinations of
their enemies; stO have proved themselves eupe.
lior to the artful-and deceptife means ever used to
fedi:l:e them from their attachment to democratic
principles. It remains for ua to record' another in
stance of their firmness and integrity; it is in their
power to carry the whole ticket, triumphantly, and
forever pat at rest the attempts of office seeke6 to
divide and distract the democracy. • - ••• • • •-- • .
It is seldom that a political canvass pares off so
quietly thus far, as has the one now in progress,.
We are apprehensive that our opponents will-seek
tu take advantage of this apathy, and while we are
napping, we may be shorn of our strength. .Our
friends must wake tip, put forth their energies and
rally to the polls. Not only go themselves, but see
that every democrat is there.- Never was it moth
necessary that our ticket should be sustained, than
this fall. If we are defeated it will be in conse
quence of democrats staying away from the polls.
We again eke the necessity of 'action ! vigilant
action ! The little time 'left it properly improved
will ensure for us a glorious triumph.!
Vigilance! Vigilance!
" Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and
unceasing activity is the sure precursor of our suc
cess. Demonrats, remember this, now that the
election draws near. II you have omitted to organ
ize your townships sufficiently, there is time yet to
do much, and a way in which you can make some
reparation. Work or► the day of elerlion. Look over
your list of taxableti, and see that every democrat
on it votes. If there is danger of his or their not
attending the polls, send or go for them... Improve
every moment and opportimitY on that day. Hp
vigilant and antiring; work from this time until the
polls clasp on the day of election. A full poll is a
Democratic victory.
err Democrats 4 . be not deceived by the lies
apl -falsehoods of your enemies. ;They, are seek.
ing is mid to divide , you, to draw off Democrats
the support of onevatulidate dr the other—they
are laboring todestroy youreorifidenee in each other.
you will be told that this or that candidate is trading
off his-collngtits to get votes kir himeelL Believe
it not...they am honorable men, and would never
be guilty of inch a trick.

would urge its ernepletioo independent ot other

ney to complete it, or the man who joins it to other
questions obnoxious totbeparty having the majori

_ Does any man doubt, it Col. Bigler had been
Governor favoring the speedy . completion of the
North Branch, that a loan would have been made,
the Canal now completed, and next spring would ,
have been heard along um mourtain sides the
echoes of the boatman's horn, while we could have
seen the increased activity of every branch of in
dostry in Bmtlfrird in cot/set:pence of an avenue to

Does any one doubt that had Gov. Johnston been
willing to see a loan made to &AA the Non!' Branch;
the money %raid have been forth coming, and the
- work hare been pushed to a speedy completion,
instead of •( drarging its slow length alon e " as it
has! A loan could be made to avoid the Inclined

Gov. Johnston was so desirous of crewing the im.
'pression that he was paying oil a State debt, or so
bent upon an issue of small notes that he was un
willing that the North Branch should stand a naked
question upon its own merits.
Voters! it you deiire the-immediate completion
of the Canal, vote for William Big(elf who says he
is in favor of the completion of the Canal, and is
' if it be necessary, to borrow money to com
plete it, in preference to Gov. Johnston, who pro.
leases eqnally to be its friend, but who makes it a
matter secondary to his financial schemes, and en
cumbers its progress with collateral questions, which
should not - be a burden upon our prosperity. Wil
liam Bigler does not seek to send a locust swarm
of small bills neon the stale, to a condition of fin.
ishing our Canal—he has no fine-spun Federal
theory to be carried out in connection with it 7 bnt
regarding its immediate 'completion as a matter
fraught with incalculable interest to the North and
to. the prospenty of the whole State, he stands ready
in an open, honest, business-like manner, to make
its completion a question of paramount importance,

that inch a course would be a matter of economy

%Y►axrxa.—We newer took occepion on the eve
of an election to warn the democracy of iyinghend.
bills and extras, but we found afterwardethe caution
to be seasonable.
it is the gate the enemy are accustomed to play.
Mg. These lying handbills, and newspaper extras,
generally contain matter intentionally withheld un
til it is too late to be refuted before the election.--
They are often-industriously-circulated at the polls,
the - statements which they contain are sometimes
accompanied with forged affidavits to give them
credit. We put our friends upon their guard against
such imposition. it will undoubtedly be attemrted.
Their unseasonable appearance, and the hands that
circulate them ought to stamp them with falsehood.
We care not for 'histories our enemies may circa
late eganiit our candidates, if they will only dp it
in time for us to refute them.
Oil. We observe that come of the papers, put down
one Cass delegate tram Bradford to the State Con
vention. By what authority we know not. There is
no reason for any such classification. The delegates
are gentlemen in whom the Democrats have full con.
&Pence and who will endeavor faithfilly to carry
the wishes of our Democracy, The first choice of
that Democracy is not Geri. Cass, neither is it Hr.
Buchanan. ~.and while we have no authority to

Mater To 1100. G. A. Grow.
The lion. G. A. Gnow, our memtlbt of Congress
elect, from this District, paid our town a visit on
the 13th inst. Our citizens met with him at a pub
lic dinner,-on the evening of the 15th, in order to
introduce him to his coastituents, and for an inter
change of sentiments.
Mr. Grow resides in Susquehanna county, the
eastern extremity of the District, end never before
had paid ourcountry any more than a flying visit.
ish ing to know more of the geography of the coun
ties composing his District, as well as the wants
and wishes of his constituents, he has favored us
with a visit at this time, and our citizens show a
due appreciation of the merits of the man by thus
giving a public demonstration of the kind.
Mr. Grow is yM a young man, scarcely more than
thirty years of age, bearing the impress of genius,
vivacity, fine flow of leeling, and sound mind
The impressions helms left behind him in Tioga
county, are decidedly in his favor; and we feel as.
slued thalthe interests of our District, are safe in the
National Councils, when entrusted to such hands.
The dinner given him by the eitistens of this plice
was, at MM. Its. KIMBALL'S and well attended by
the Democracy. We were pleased to see some of
the Whigs /stoking** upon truth and tight,. andtrust

much harmony, good feeling, and life at any
public entertainment, as was evinced on this ocea

The dinner was excellent, the Major vigilant
to the wants of his attests, the speeches vivacious,
and the ticket, the whole ticket, anti nothing but
the ticket—County, Judicial and State—received
frequent and unanimous assurances of an undivid•
ed and uncompromising support. With such a
Democracy as Tioga possesses at this time, we can
whip a world of Whigs, Bill- Johnston and his
emissaries to the contrary notwithstanding.—Troga

VOLCA me Enormous IN Ms a-nateo e —The latest
advice. from the West Indies furnish details'of vol
canic eruptions in the Island of Afartinique, whose
violence"has caused much alarm to the inhabitants
of St. Pierre and peasant population of the neigh
boring parishes.
Montagne Pelee, the seat of the new volcano,
has tong been conspicuous for its formation, which
marks it as an extinct crater, and for its springs of
hot sulphuretted water. In July last these springs
were observed to emit a powerful smell of sulphur.
Large quantities of hot water anti mud were ejected
by some internal convulsion, until, on the 6th' of
August, about midnight,- a violent eruption took
place. A rumbling noise, similar to the rapid op
preach of large manses of cavalry, alarmed- the in
habitants of the villageseroand the Montagne Pe
lee ; and, on their rushing into the open air to save
themselves from the effects of what they believed
to be an earthquake, they saw three columns of a
whitish vapor rising from the top of the mountain.
hippest's:that the mountain movements, and sub
terrvnean Explosions did no mischief whatever be
yond forcing up the coatings of the ota crater of the
Montagne Pelee, when the soil was thrown up,
bum, and impregnated with sulphur, very much
in the way . in which it would have been defaced
by the springing of a mine.. At the last advice*
the crater was still open, ands continued to exhale
poisonous (i. e, sulphuretted). gases. -

A itloottrxia VoN.—We find in our Ger
man papers an account of a singular catastrophe,
which we translate, for,the N. Y. Tribune. Above
the District of Magyarokatek, in the. south-tvestern
portion ofTrarisylvania, there are two mountains,
Venyikes and Celestas. The District ties on a slope
of the two mountains, which are from eight hund
red to one thousand feet high, opposite a kettle
shaped hollow. Ott the lath of August, the Gelesz
tas began to move, and forced the Verlyikes, which
is about four miles from Magyarokarek, so near to
that Dish let that it is now scarcely twenty paces
distant, and threatens to destroy the whole village.
The motion of the mountain continued from mid.
night on the 13th to noon on the 15th of August,
nod during this time it occasioned gift( damage
through a space of about ene.third of a mile in
length and nearly a (planer of a mile in breadth.—
The fields beneath an& amend the mountain, which
in this plate were covered with a harvest of un
common beauty, were precipitated into the depths,
and instead of them huge rocks now rise against the
sky. No one would know the place. No one
knows where- was his own field•-•-the Iwo parts of a
plowed held, which wets torn asunder, are often
found at the distance of two mites from each other,
with a bottomless abyss between them. The popu
lation of the place, numbering. about three hundred
and eighty souls, are encamped with, their little .
property on a mountain . & lying within the District,
amt expect the next calamity in a state ofgreat de
pression.- Beneath the torn-op mountain, and even
on the very spot, water gushes up on , every side,
and the ground in the vicinity is so cracked tbailio
living creature can approach it..
The ettestsntss Tstronstor.—The preparations
for laying down the submarine telegraph between
England and France are rapidly advancing:—..
It is thought that ;!ie great difficulty, the prevention
of the wires againit betrig broken or growort oft on
the bottom, will now be overcome. The tine of
communication consists of icur copper wires, of
the thickness of an ordinary beti wire,
.cased in
guua percha, and twined with a corresponding
number of hempen strands, steeped in a mixture of
tar and tallow, into a rope of about an inch in diame
ter. Another strand similarly prepared, is wound
transversely round this, and finally 'ten wires of
galvanized iron, about a third of an inch thick, are
twined round this central core, and• form a solid, and
at the same time flexible casing. The whole, when
thus completed, has the appearance of an ordinary
4i inch metallic cable. The machinery by which
this is. etrected is extremly simple, and the work
proceeds, night and day, with the utmost regularity.
A huge coil is thus being formed in one continuous
piece. at the rate of about th mites a day, and will
finally attain the lenght Of 24 miles. The weight of
the entire rope, when finished, it is estimated, wi,ll be
from 170 to 180 tons. From time to time, as the
work proceeds, a galvanic current is passed thrciugh
the wires, and their conducting power is tested by
a galvanometer. • •
Tux New JERSEt BANK - ExerTemmrt—We • see
by a letter in the Herald that the failure of the" Pee.
plc's Bank"in New Jersey, which has- tailed and,
of course, swindled a given number of operatives
in the neighborhood of Patterson, has produced con•
siderable excitement in thaLgommunity. About
three thousand persons asserrikleil on the 26th inst.
.in front of the bank, and passed a resolution re.
questing the Chancellor to appoint two receivers
whom the people had confidence in. They then
adjourned-to the residence of the Cashier, and burn'
him in effigy. From thence they went to the resi.
(fence of the President, and paid him a litre com
pliment; thence to Mr James Jackson's, a director,
and honored him likewise with the same oomph.
merit, and then adjourned quietly to their homes.
The account says : . •
"The President. David Bunsen, is an elder of the
First Presbyterian Church ; the Cashier, H. C. Slim.
son, is head roan in the Second Presbyterian Church
and Director Jackson is d class leader of that lefft.

If published before the next Presidential °teener; it
wilt create a sensation. One passage of it is said
to present a curious state of affairs ender the Polk
administration.. lit has been read to some one, or
some bra has read it, and report& that it attributes
to. President Polk the design of withdrawing the
troops from that serv'ce altogether. This dl slot le
said to- have been formed in consequence of the
clamor of the Whigs about the immense expenditure
of money to carry on , the war. The order for this
purpose was actually signed by Secretary Murry,
of the War Department. Col. Benton heard of it
late at night. Ire called on the President, was
closeted with him for several hours, mid ~the result
was, a recall of the order and the prosecution of the
war. Col. Benton ektime for himself, as the con- )
sequence of the exercise of his personal influence
with the President in this matter, that he saved the •
demo t tratie party from destruction ; and there is•
much grout; d for such claim. Ff true, it is a mini=
ous episode of ti`lg war, and one reffeiling no cm&
it on the C.abinet ei „Mr. Polk. If mattress Mr. Mar
cy can explain it. Whp it is recollected, that Col.
Benton had influence enough with the President to
induce him to recommend the creation of the office
of Lieutenant General in the Army' of the United
Stares: with•the intention to elevate hint to that com
mand, over two of the greatest and most successful
Generals the world ever - saw, it will not surprise
any thinking man to hear of the disclosure which it
is said Mr. Benton intends to make in his own

MURDER IN SOUTH CAROI,INA. —On Sattirday even
ing last, a most brutal and atrocious murder was
committed in this district, upon the person of a
- young woman named Mary Ann Hyatt, attended
by circumstances which render if one of the most

The lyoung woman was seated inther house, engag
ed in the performance of some domestip duty, and

i
surrounded by her 'Whiten, when she was shot
through the head wit a title ball, and imam ly kil
led. The next morn na some of the neighbors pas
sing the house, were alarmed by the cries of the
children, and, on entering ; found the body still seat,
ed in the chair, surrounded by " the children, who
were attempting to rouSe their mother from what
they thought was only a. deep slumber. From the
statements of the children*, their mother had been
initial condition since the previous evening, and
hence it is supposed that the deed was committed
at that time, and that these children were thus left
alone, with the cotre of the woman, through the
{ I
night.. Suspicionrested upon one Phineas John
son, as the perpet ator of the deed, and sufficient
evidence being ad, used before the Coroner's jury,
the Coroner immediately issued his warrant for his
apprehension, and be is now in jairawailing his hi
