The Prospect.
We feel sale in assuring our Democratic friends,
that the prospect ol securing the election of our en
tire ticker is in all respects as favorable as we could
wish. We hear of no serious complaints or disaf
fection : all coacede that the ticket is a good one,
end every democrat will go forth to duty with a
firm determination to battle against the enemies of
Iris principles, efficiently and successfully—and the
second Tuesday of October shall bear testimony to
the future of its signal and triumphant success.—
Such we believe, from the information we have
from all parts of the County, is the seritiment which
tervades the party, and animates the bosom of
every lover of the Democratic cause—every friend
of equal rights. This is right. No personal hos
tilities—no personal preferences for the nomination
of a friend, should restrain a single democrat from
entering warmly, fearlessly, and actively into the
support of the entire ticket when formed.
We have said we believe that harmony and kind
feelings prevail, and that we are marching forward
to a certain and honorable victory at the polls.—
Yet we would urge upon our fellow democrats, the•
propriety, and absolute necessity of unceasing vigi
lance. Do not let the certainty .01 success lull you
into apathy or inactivity. It has been said that
" Eternal Vigilance" is the price of liberty. Let
this be the motto of every soldier in the democratic
ranks. Let him remember that the listnessness of
a single individual, may lase more than one vote,
and should it prevail generally, might lore the elec
lion. General Apathy is a bad .officer, and never
led his soldiers to victory: He is sure to be beaten
wherever he has command, and no Democrat will
be found in his ranks
Again, let not the fact, that we carried every-.
thing in this county, last [all, induce a single man
to stay at home under the belief that we have votes
enough without his. That is not the way to make
victory certain. We have a wiley, managing foe
to contend with. Their leaders are already en
deavoring to throw sand into our eyes, by saying
on the corners of the streets and o.her public places
—that they don't expect to elect their men—they
know we have the strength, and of course they
must be beaten. This is all gammon. They hope,
by holding out false ligh.s, as the same party till
during the last war, to deceive our democratic
friends. They cry peace, peace, then there is no
peace. Beware of their devices, they mean by
their tricks to quiet your fears and operate upon
your credulity. They are now eectetly pushing
every exertion on their part to the utmost, and could
they succeed in making our friends believe that
their operations are merely to keep up an organi
zation, without any expectation of success—we
might, when too late, discover at our cost, their
real designs. Be assured now, that they intend to
defeat us, and elect their own men ! and being
conscious of their weakness in open battle, they
are resorting to such schemes to accomplish covet
ly and underhandedly what they cannot do in fair
end honorable conflict. Democrats ! be not de
ceived—but enter at once, boldly and manfully
upon the work before you. Lew nothing undone
that can be done honorably to secure the election
,i • of your candidates. Many a battle has been lost
for want of a single vote, and every democrat should
emit himself for the coming contest as it the result
depended on his vote alone. Let him do this, and
at the same time guard against the wiles and
_gray
devices of the enemy to lull them into a cateless
indifference, or divert our attention from the point
of attack, and we will as certsinly come off victo
rious as the suit shall rise on the second Tuesday
'of October.
Vigilance I Vigilance 2
l c Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and
'unceasing activity is the sure precursor of our sue.
'cesa. Democrats, remember this, now that the
election draws near. If you have omitted to organ
ize yotir township sufficiently, there is time yet to
do much, and a way in which you can make some
reparation. Work on the day of 'election. Look over
your list CI tazables, and see that every democrat
on it votes. Inhere is danger of his or their not
attending the polls send'or go for them. Improve ev.
ery moment and opportunity on that day. Be vigi
lant and untiring; work from this time until the
polls close on the dayAif election. A full poll is a
Democratic victory.

The Election.
Between this =lithe day of election, every ef
foam hich can be plif forth in the despairing strug
gles of ter, partiee, tegusition to
defeat the democracy of Bridlord. Against us ell
their battenes are directed, aral over our prostration
ttiey hope to raise.the shodt of victory.
The democracy of Bradford have heretofore no
oly sustained themselves against the combinations
of their,enemies) and have proved.themsehres Cu.
prior to the maul and deceptive means ever used
to seduce them from their attachment to democrat
ic principles. It remains for us to record another
instance 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 seekers to
divide and distract the democracy.
It is seldom that a political canvass passes oft so
quietly thus tar, as has the one now in progress.—
.We are apprehensive that our opponents will seek
to take advantage of this apathy; and while we are
napping, we may be shorn of our strength. Our
friends must wake up, put forth their energies and
rally to the polls. Not only go themselves, but see
that every democrat is there. Never was it more
necessary that our ticket should be sustained, than
this Lill. II we are defeated it will be in con.
sequence of demuciats staying away from the
polls.
We again nrge the necessity of action ! vigilant
action! The little time left if properly improved
will ensure for us a glotious triumph 1
Deniocrata of Bradford!
' Are you ready fot the conflict ? In about two
weeks, the battle is to be fought, and you have but
little time left for preparation. That time should
be usefully employed ; every township and 80.
rough should have its committees to bring out ev
ery democrat to the polls, storm or no storm.
Be at the polls early, talk to your friends—talk to
the federalists—tell them the truth, show them the
advantages of sustaining Democratic measures and
Democratic men—Conviction goes hand in hand with
truth.
You have a good ticket. Your candidates are
all honest and capable men, who will faithfully
represent and sustain your principles. See to it
that not a vote is lost. Bring out every voter. It
is needless to say that the Federal party, will all
turn out. They always do so,—their voters never
fail to be at the polls, and they will not fail this fall.
They are playing a dark deep game, determined
to defeat us if they can. Be on the alert then. We
have the strength, and it must all be brought into
the field. Only rally—rally from your fields, your
workshops—from the hills—from the vallies. Give
your full vote and show the enemies of Democracy
that what has s been done can be done, and that the
Democracy of Bradford never yield an advantage
once gained.
(1::7- The Perinsykania 7elegraph prefaces an ar
tide fioat this paper, with the important announce
ment that the Reporter is edited by " a son of gr
GOODRICH, the Deputy Secretary of the Common•
wealth."
It strikes us, as rather a singular way of introdu
cing an individual to the public, by declaring him
the "son of his father," unless it is intended to give
eclat to the former, by some prestige attached to the
name of the latter, as in the case of the " Nephew
of his Uncle," who now presides over the destinies
of France.
In this instance, no such kind intention is manifest
—but the editor is anxious to add increased impor
tance to our remarks by lugging in the State Ad
ministration. " The Reporter is edited by a son of
Mr Goonatcu—Deputy Secretary of the Common
wealth ;"—ergo, the administration endorse and ap
pland what the Reporter says ! This is a pretty
method of reasoning, but it is the sort of logic the
Telegraph is accustomed to.
Now, we take this occasion to enter our most
earnest and emphatic protest, against all and every
efforts to make the Deputy Secretary, or the Secre•
tary ot the Commonwealth, or the Executive him
self, in any way or manner responsible ter what
the Reporter may say, because the editor is a " son
of the Deputy Secretary." We were aware that
children are to be visited with the iniquities of the
parents—but it is contrary to ail civil and moral
custom, to make inheritances go backwards, or to
hold the parent responsible for the misdeeds of the
children. We don't know why this should be dif
ferent in politics, and for our political sins, whether
of omission or commission, the Deputy Secretary
should no more be held answerable, than for the
course of the London Times.
The only person responsible for the course of this
paper, is it editor, wise name appears at the head
of its columns, and all attempts to make others
(whether at Harrisburg or elsewhere.) accountable
for what it may say, is unjust, ungenerous, and not
warranted by the facts. As far as the State Ad
ministration is concerned, we have freely expressed
our dissent from several of its measures. On the
whole, we see much in Gov. BIGLER'S management
of public affairs to applaud, and have consequently
so far given him a hearty support,—but we shall at
all times be ready to differ with him, when occa
sion offers, while however, we concede to him an
earnest desire and constant study to advance the in.
wrests of the Commonwealth, and raise her chsrac
ter and credit above the reach of suspicion.

Next Saturday is the last day, the law requiring
ten days belore the election. Look to your own
names, Democrats, and then those of your neigh
bors. Let not a vote be lost by inattention to the
assessments. •
It should be known that to entitle a man to .vote',
at the coming election, it is necessary that he chaff
have teen a resident of the State one year, arld of
the district or township where his offers his vote,
ten days, and that he has paid a State or County
tax which was assessed at least ten days preiions
the day of election.
Young men, however, between twenty-one and
twenty-two, who are qualihed in other revpeete,
are entitled to a vote without the payment of any
And for persons who have once been voters in
the State and removed therefrom and returned, a
residence of six months in the State is sufficient ;
but in all cases where the payment of a tax is ne
cessary, it must have been assessed ten days pre
vious to the election. We hope, therefore, that,
every• democrat in the county will go to the assess
or and see that his name is on the list—and see to
it in time. The coming election is one of momen
tous interest, and'. it is necessary that every demo
crat should be fully armed and egniped as the law
directs,

Fide(Ole regular nominations compels an ad
herence to Democratic principles by procuring the
success of the Democratic party. This principle is
a cardinal one in our party drill, and ou,bt to be
obeyed with military promptitude and. strictness.—
Without such a principle we can never secure har.
mony of action, that long pull, strong pull, and the
pull altogether which will keep the State always
in the West channel of Democracy. Such a prin
ciple silences all dissatisfaction and brushes away
the whims of individual preference and prejudice.
The can Jidate presented for the suff.•ages of the
party is no longer my man or his man, but he is the
n an of the . party, the regularly nominated candidate,
and in that capacity every Democrat is bound to
vote for him. The man who does not intend to
abide the decision of our conferences and conven
tions ought to take higher ground and oppose the
mdhocl of selecting candidates, at the proper time,
and not seem to acquiesce in their proceedings un
til they have cloned their deliberations, and then
withhold his support from the ticket which has been
framed. Such a man does no party any good. He
scratches his ticket and votes for no one, or votes
for his own favorite, and thus the voice of one free
man is lost.
Cot. H. B. Warmly, has been nominated by
Congressional Conference of the Counties of Lu
zerne, Wyoming. Columbia and Montour. His
nomination was unanimously ratified by the Con
lerence, and his election is advocated by every
Democratic paper in the district.
Kr We have been furnished with the Corres
pondence between the Committee appointed by
the County Temperance Convention and the can
didates for Representatives, but too late for this pa
per. It will appear in our next.
The State Nomination&
The proceedings of the State convention were
entirely harmonious, and marked with more than
ordinary unanimity ; the nomination of Judge
WOODWARD having been made by acclamation,
and that of Col. HOPKINS on the third ballot.
The action of the convention in relaticn to the
nomination (or Judge of the Supreme Court, was
merely a formal recognition of the already expres
sed will of the Domocracy, which would have
placed Judge Woormseri upon the original ticket
if hie consent could then have been obtained.
His acceptance of the appointment to fill the va
cancy created by the death of Judge Coot.cca, in
dicating that the reasons which had induced him to
refuse the fornication had ceased to operate, or
that he did not feel any longer at liberty to decline
the call of the people for his services in that station,
no other name has been mentioned, and the de
mocracy of Pennsylvania have the satisfaction of
presenting as their candidate for that high and
im
portant station the name of one of Pennsylvania's
purest sons, and ablest jurists/nothing doubting that
their choice will be ratified by the verdict of the
people recordod at the ballot-box.
The nomination for canal commissioner, though
made with less unanimity, we regard as scarcely
less satisfactory.
As a public man, COI. HOPK;NS has been long
and favorably known to the people of Pennsylva
nia. He has filled several important stations, with
honor to himself and to the satisfaction of his con
ailments, stations that have necessarily made him
acquainted with the varied interests of the State,
and afforded him the opportunity of acquiring the
practical knowledge necessary to qualify him for
the station to which he has been nominated by so
large a majority of the delegates of the democracy.
His competency is beyond doubt, his integrity is
equally unquestioned, and he comes to the office
without having desired or made any effort to secure
the nomination, and therefore under no obligations
to those who have conferred it, but perfectly un
!remelted and free to promote b) his official con
duct the interests of the State, regardless of the
claims. or wants, or importunities of individuals or
rival interests. That the views of Col HOPKINS in
relation to the management of our public works are
such as will meet the approbation and concurrence
of the great body of the people of both parties, we
have every reason to believe, as we also believe,
that if elected he will go into the office with a de
termination to introduce such system, economy,
and if need be, reform, as will add to their produc
tiveness, and diminish, and eventually remove the
evils now with too much reason complained of.
It is true, that Col. HOPKINS was not our choice
in convention ; we bad other preferences, but we
had the satisfaction of knowing that from the names
prominent before the convention, it was not possi
ble to make a bad selection. The majority of the
cativention did not concur with us in our preference,
and we now take pleasure in concurring with them,
and thus assigning our reasons for doing so : our
belief that the nomination is a good one, one that
shonld be enthusiastically sustaineit by the democ
racy of Pennsylvania ; one that every citizen of
Pennsylvania may ratify at .the polls, with , the full
assurance that in doing so he is voting for a man
who will to he extent of his power, faithfully and
carefully guard and protect the interests of the Stale,
so far as they are affected by the management of
her canals and railroads.—Harrisburg Keystone.
Gen. Scott on Naturalization.
The constitution requires the rule of natinaliza
tion to be uniform. Should Gen. Scorr's plan be
adopted, no foreigners could become citizens with
out serving one year in the army or navy. Han•
dieds of thousands strive upon our shores annually.
To naturalize all these a standing army of two or
three hundred thousand men would be necessary.
This simple fact shows the utter lolly and impracti
cability of his plan.
But the impolicy of Gen. Scott's new system of
naturalization is still more glaring. A soldier in t tie
United States at my is as much a slave as a soldier
in the army of Russia. Is such a service the right
kind of training to form a free, enlightened, high
spirited American citizen T Can a soldier in the
ranks learn the working of our republican system
of government in which every citizen takes a part?
Yet the soldiers are to be naturalized, whilst the
rights of citizenship are to be withheld from those
foreigners who come here and enter upcn the use
ful duties of civil life—who become farmers, me.
chanics and artisans, and are incorporated into the
bone and sinew of the country !—Keystone.

Stale, organizing the Scbrr forces, nrging'whig jea.
'dere to action, and distributing documents by wagon
iloads ! Their pamphlets are got up to suit every
phase. of popular prej . ud-ce. Among nativists they
distribute Scarfs native letters and among Catho
lics evidences of his devotion to them—they have
documents for the abolitionists and others for those
who favor the compromise measures—and others
to suit every nameable faction ! They have ap.
pointed mass meetings to be held it Pittsburg,
New Berlin, Hollidaysburg, Erie, Laneaster, %Vest
Chester, Chambersburg and all the Whig strong
holds in the State, whi ch will be addressed by able
and talented speakers from abroad. They have
evidently, as in JB4B, raised a large amount of mo
ney for electioneering purposes, and will attempt to
re-enact the corruptions of that campaign. By
skillfully combining the la ire and Catholic vote of
Philadelphia, they expect to obtain a larger majori
ty in that quarter than they have ever yet had.—
And every other imaginable expeiient for gaining
votes has been and will continue to be resorted to
by them.

Igectlonewtog it The South.
A short time P ince : the 2ribuns was worrying
itself concerning the grounds on which General
Pierce was supported by the democrats of the
southern states. If we had suppostd that he had
not adequate grounds for supporting him at the north
this matter might have been worth considering.—
But having, as we believe, good remains for giving
him our votes, we were not inclined to place much
stress upon the reasons for which other men in a
differeat quarter of the Union chose to give him
theirs.
It may, however , amuse our readers, and per.
hap edify the Triilune, if we lay before them the
grounds on which Gen. Pierce is opposed by the
whigs of the south As that print has taken great
pains by the publication of letters, documents, and
long extracts of newspapers to show its readers that
Pierce is supported by the southern democrats up-
on the ground that he is a friend to the institution
of slavery, it ought at the same time, in, fairness to
give its readers the fact which show that he is op-
posed by the southern whigs on the ground that he
is an enemy to the institution. According to whig
testimony General Pierce is a vehement abolition.
ist, one of the followers of Garr:son. The Washing
ton, Republic demonstrated it a few days ago to its
own perfect satWaction. We here copy from a
Virginia paper, the Petersburg Intelligencer of the
day before yesterday, a pleasant example of the
same sort:
4 4 We are glad to see the intelligencer so interest
ing to the South Side Democrat. As it is manitested
so much delight in copying our humblb opinions
into its columns; we will endeavor to give increas
ed attraction to our articles. We are not mischie
vously disposed, but we would here ask our neigh
bors, if it is a lair question, What would have been
the course of the South-Side Democrat. if General
Cass had been the nominee of his party ? Will our
contemporary albs Democrat answer the following
questions ?"
1. Are there not strong inferential evidences to
prove that if Genera' Pierce had been in Congress
in 1847, he woule have voted with Atherton, Nor
ris, and the other New Hampshire members, for
the Wilmot Proviso amendment to the Three Mil
lion bill ?
2. If so, can he be consistently supported by the
south, eller the stand which she took against the
said Proviso !•
3. If there was the same kind, and the same
amount, of testimony to prove that General Scott
"sympathised" with the doctrine Contained in said
groviso, would not the democratic party of the south,
on the strength of such testimony, contend that's he
ought not to get a single southern electorial vote?
4. Was not Martin Van Buren the candidate of
the free soilers in 1818, and was not denounced by
the whole southern democratic press as a traitor to
the democratic party, and is he not a warm sup
porter o; Pierce's election?
5. Did not Seward, in 1348, oppose the same
Free So.l, Buffalo,
Van Buren ticket, and did he
not advocate the election of, and vote tor Gen. Tay
lor, a slaveholder of the south ?
6. If so, which of these two men, Van Buren or
Seward, would be most likely to influence their fa
vorite candidates, respectively ?"
The demonstration, our readers will see, is pret
tily made out, by the Socratic method of reasoning,
that the domestic institutions of the South are very
unsafe with Pierce and safe with Scott. It is curi
ous to remark in what an unhealthy state of mind a
large part of the Southern people are, it their jour
nalists and politicians may be taken as a fair sam
ple of the rest of community. On one subject they
are maniacal. They think of nothing, talk of noth
ing, dream of noshing but slavery. obe a friend
of slavery is a se fficient recomendation for office;
to be against it is abundant disqualifications. As
soon as a candidate is set up for the presidency, if
he be a democrat, the Southern whips address
themselves to the work of proving that he is not
sound on the great question, and that his whig coin
petitors is the only man who can be Dusted by the
slave holders. If he be a white, his political adver
saries serve him in the same way. The Washing
ton Republic, now the principal organ of Scott's
friends at the south, is occupied day after day with
the task of proving General Scott to, be the most
thorough-paced friend whom slavery possesses in
the country, and the most zealous opponent of a
repeal of the Fugitive Slave law. Yesterday, it
published a letter from Senate Pearce, of Maryland
affirming Scott to be the implacable enemy of all
attempts to set aside the Compromise. A day or
two before it published a letted a letter from Mr.
Holt, of Alabama, whom it affirmed to be the most
veracious and scrupulous of witnesses; to the same
purport. All other considerations are swallower'
up in this; all other qualifications of a candidate
are trifles, compared to the merit of being orthor
dos on the great qqestion.—Eve. Post.
THE. WHIGS AND THE tASIFT —The whiga are

official publication of his shame is mere surplus
age.
It appears froth the record below that Jakey bad
charged the Hon. Garrick Mallomone of the ablest
and purest Judges in the State, with having been
unduly biassed in the trial of a criminal case, by
the prisoner giving his honor a MASONIC SIGN !
Hearing of this vile slander, Judge Mallory ordered
a rule to be served on Jakey to show cause why his
name should not be stricken from the list of anon
neys. It seems Jakey Could give no good reason
why that should not be done, and therefore agreed to
place the following confession upon record ; where
-11 upon, judge Mallory was induced to let him run.--;.
I Now to the record
In the Common Pleas of Berks County, November
14. 1835.
The Court order and direct a rule on Jacob Hoff
man, Esq., a member of this court., to show cause
why his name should not be stricken off from the
list of attorneys.
January Term, (846.
In answer to the above rule, the undersigned re.
spectfully begs leave to state that he had no inten,
Lion or design of committing a contempt of Court,
or of charging the said Court with improper mo
tives, or of inducing the public to withdraw their
confidence from the same.
And the undersigned further begs leave to state,
that to revive the friendly feelings which have here•
tofore existed between the said court and himself,
he waives any question touching the jurisdiction of
the, Court in this matter, and is also pleased to have
it in his power to state that he was misinformed in
several important particulars, and knows of nothing
that can in anywise impeach the honor or integrity
of this Court.
Ancrturther, that the record in the case of the
Commonwealth vs. William Degrummond, DOES
NOT WARRANT THE STATEMENT MADE
BY HIM To THOMAS ELDER, Esq. He is satis
fied that nothing improper was done by the Court
in that case.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Against Scott—for Pierce.
George R. M' Fee, the Whig elector of Garrard
county, Kentucky, has come out in a strong and
powerful speech against Gen Scott. He has moun
ted the stump against the Whig speakers who
came into the county; and from all aceounts makes
the fur fly freely. He is at present the Representa
tive in the Legislatute from that strong Whig comi
ty. Tom Marshall, " the unchangeable," is no
touch to him.
S. Douglass, Etiq., formerly a Whig candidate
for Congress, and once the editcr of a Whig pa
per in Cadiz, Ohio, has abandoned General Scott
and goes for Pierce and King We know Mr. Doug
lass well, says the Pittsburg Post, and we cordially
welcome him to our ranks.
A friend who waa at Franklin last week, informs
that the Democrats had an enthusiastic meeting on
the evening of the 26th ult. Mr. McCormick, a
Whig lawyer of that borough, addressed the meet
ing in an able mariner, and declared his intention
of voting for Pierce and King, in November. His
conversion created much feeling among the Whigs
He was prosecuting'Attorney under Gov. Johnston,
and Deputy Marshal under President Fillmore. So
says the Crawford Democrat.
Judge Murry, of Mit:letown, Dumphin county in
in this State, and heretotore an active and influen
tial Whig, has come out for Pierce and King.--
The Middletown Emporium, thus announces the
fact:—
" The Hon. Wm. F. Merry, our neighbor, who
was elected Associate Judge upon the Whig ticket
of our county, last fall, has within a few days rais
ed the flag of Pierce and King upon his large saw
mill in Portsmouth, and declared his intentions to
support the Democratic ticket this fall ,and hereaf
ter. We are riot supprised at this, for we know
that Judge Murry, though a gentleman of wealth
and influence, has his sympathies with the masses
of the people. We are also glad to learn that he
has a large number of workmen in establish.
ment, who will vote on the side of the country.—
The well known intelligence of Judge Merry has
long been known to us as an assurance of this re
sult in this campaign. We will look for others in
our vicinity to follow his noble example The in
fluence of the Judge will tell largely in our favor,
in all future elecuomi. Thrice welcome, Judge
into our ranks—the ranks of the People, of Libert}
and Nationality.
STATE Tazasuasa.—We learn, that the Supreme
Court of New York has decided that Benjamin An
in Welch, Jr.. democrat, ii Treasurer of that State.
He will give the required, bail, andventer upon the
duties forthwith. Mr. Cook's friends, says the Her
ald, are advising him not to cany the question up to
the Court of Appeals, as they
.talk about placing
him on the ticket as the' candiate for Lieutenant
Governor. -
W. Earl Arnold, recently charged with the em.
bezzlement of $17,000 from the Suffolk Bank at New
York. has been honorably acquitted of the crime, by
the Board of Directors.
