On motion of Henry Routh E-q , a committee of
five were appointed to report
reso.ut.onsexpressike
of the sentiments of the corivetiiiun viz. Henry
Boottasq , Han Horace ‘Villiston, Emanuel Guy
er, James Elliott and Aaron Knapp.
The Committee on resolu'ions reported the lid
lowing, which were unammou-dy adoPted
Resolved, That our present License system reg
elating the sale of intoxicating liquors is Ms absur
dity in legislation ; If this business is proper, it
should be, left open to competition like other men.
potions. If it is injurious ta society, it is absurd to
permit a privileged few to engage in it to the ex.
elusion of others and protect them in the enjoyment
of their monopoly by legal penalties
Resolved, Tht.t the action of our Legislature and
Courts has settled the questim as to the right of so
ciety to prohibit The mannfifeture and sale of inlaid •
eating liquois. The right to prohibit the sale in
clodesohe right to prohibit the manufacture for the
purpose of sale. And the right to prohibit:the large
majdrity of our fellow citizens from selling bettause
the good of society so requires, includes the right
to prohibit all from manufacturing or selling for the
same reason.
Resolved, That we trace much the greatest por•
lion of all the unnecessary evils which society gni
feral° ,the manufacture and sate of intoxicating
drinks. And it is now high time that this iniquity
Which has so long flourished under the protection
of law should be suppressed by law. Moral sua
sion has been tried and has proved ineffectual for
want of,moral sensibility in those upon whom it
should operate. Our reliance hencefoith is in a law
that shall punish the sale of liquors, as other (Agra•
ges against the public welfare are now punished.
Resolved, That we will hereafter vote for no man
for the office of Representative or Senate, to our
State Legislature, Who is not in favor of a law pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
drinks, similar in its provistcns to the Maine Liquor
Law, and whose past conduct end known character
for sobriety, do nor give us satislactory pledges for
his fidelity to this cause.
A. D. Montanye now moved that the Committee
proceed to nominate candidates for Representatives,
to be supported by the friends of the Maine Liquor
Law.
This motion elicited considerable discussion. A
portion of the convention were opposed to making
any nomination until the Whig and Democratic
parties made their nominations.
The convention finally decided to make nomina•
tions. Whereupon J. V. Daniels ; of Burlington tp ,
and Zebulon Frisbie of Orwell were nominated on
the first ballot.
On motion, Wyllia Brownson and A. D. Montan
ye were appointed conferees to meet conferees from
Wyoming and Susquehanna Counties, to put in
nomination a candidate fur Senator.
The convention was ably addressed by Hon H.
H Booth E=q James Elliott and whirs.
On motin of A. D. Montanye, it was

Stand by the ticket and you will stand by the De

,71Lest assured of this tact, and be not led
a way by any seductive promises of the Whigs.—
Take our advice. Those who leave the R••publr
can party, it any there be who contemplate so rash
and ill-advised a movement, will sincerely regret a
step which will certainly be retraced with shame
and sorrow.
Fidelity to regular nominations compels an ruffle
cancel° Democratic principles by procuring the
success of the Democratic. party. The principle
a cardinal_ one in our party drill, and ought to be
obeyed with military promptitude and strictneß.
Without such a principle we can newer secure har
mony of action, that long pull, strong pull, and the
pull altogether which will keep .the State always in
the clear channel of Democracy.. Such, a principle
si'ences all dissatisfaction and brushes away the
whims of individual preference and, prejudice.—
The candidate presented for the suffrages of the
party is no longer my . man or his man, but he ur the
man of the party, the regularly nominated candi
date, 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 convert
lions ought to take higher ground and oppose the
method of selecting candiiates, at the proper time,
and not seem to acquiesce in their proceedings un
til they have closed their deliberations, and then
withhold his support horn 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.
By reference to the proceedings of the.Settatorial
Conference held in Laceyville, on Friday last, it
will be seen that WM. M. PLAIT, Esq , of Wyom
ing County. has been placed in nomination as the
candidate of the Democracy for Senator—receiving
the votes of the Conferees from W yomirg and Brad.
fin Coun'ies—the vote of the Susquehanna Conler•
ees being cast for Wm. J. Tcritrier.r., of Montrose.
The Conference, we are happy:to state transacted
its business without delay or difficulty and the nom
ination was on motion made unanimous, the mem
bers separated with a leeling of satisfaction at the
result of their labors, which previous predilection
were not allowed to mar.
The nomination of Ma. Parr, is particularly
gratitying to Bradford County, he having for some
years been a resident of this County, and being
generally acquainted with our people. An acqnain•
lance which has gained for him -their respect and
confidence. Possessing abilities of the highest or
der, they have a confidenCe in his integrity which
will be manifested at the polls.

ven:ion will he found in another column, copied

The Grand Inquest for the County of Bradford,
made the following presentment :
SEPTEMBER SESSION, 1853
Bradford County, ss.
The G.ar•.d Inquest of the Cornmnoweahh of
Pennsylvania, inquiring for the County of Bradford,
have discharged their official duties for the present
term of court, and having had an opportunity, in
in their investigations of the cases brought before
them, to see the sources of crime developed, pre
sent the following statement as the result of their
observations.
The unusual number of offences brought before
us for examination, and the high grade of some of
those offences, lurnish a subject for serious consid
eration to the people of this county. Criminal trials
threaten to absorb the whole attention of the Court
and Jury to the exclusion of all other business—
The administration ofcivil justice between man and
man, is necessarily postponed to the great damage
of our citizens, in order to mete out punishment to
the public violators of the laws. We are burdened
with heavy taxes for the payment of our Stale debt;
and the still heavier impositions laid upon us by
crime, to defray the expenses of convicting and
punishing offenders, ate peculiarly oppressive. So
clefy also suffers much in the general tone of its
morals from the examples of crime recurring among
us with such alarming frequency.
Under these circumstances, and in view of the
facts directed to us by our investigations, we deem
it our duty to add oar testimony to the mass of
proof already given on this subject, that tie use of
intoxicating liquOrs is the chief source of the crimes
which disturb the peace of society, endanger the
security of our fellow citizens and burden them
with taxation. It is therefore our opinion that the
welfare of society and good of the State demand the
eliavment of a law prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of these liquors for general use, and we re
commend our fellow citizans to petition to theinext
legislature for the passage of such a law.
In the mean time we regard it the duty of our
fellow citizens to enforce the law against the unli
censed sale of these liquors in the strictest manner;
and to watch all abuses on the part of those who
have license. It is of little use, so far as the pro
tection of society is concerned, to occupy the time
of courts and juries in convicting and punishing
criminals, while the causes which make Them cri
minals escape the observation of the law.

E. 0. GOODRICH, ED. BRADFORD REPORTER.--DCOT
Sir :—Pleae to do us the favor, to say in your next
issue, that the Flee Democratic Co.derees of this
Senatorial district, met at Montrose, on Tuesday
the 6th inst.—Tyler Brewster, of Susquehanna,
Chairman. and 0 J. Warner, of Bradford, Secretary ;
and unanimously nominated GILES M DE WOUr
of Bradford county fur Sebator
1 am told that onr good.fi icrids of temperance and
of the Manse Law, have really takerf the fie.d, and
hoisted a fragmentary banner. Undoubtedly they
have nominated good Christian gentlemen for the
Assembly, who are fair exponents of their princi
ples. But as the IVhigs have adopted one of their
candidates—gaging, it is said. a pre-emption right
to him, the anti-Maine Law Whigs will of coxrse
go for Col Barton and secure his election.
Free Democrats, I am happy to be assured, will
stand for virtue, LIBERTY, independence, and
their own candidates, as they always have done
They believe man to be more than,The Maine Law
and of course will not sacrifice the former to Q e
latter.
‘Ve cannot resist the conviction that oar excel
lent temperance friends would have made a much
better investment of their Maine Law capital, had
they deposited it with the Free Democracy. As
now placed, it will be hiird to find it alter paying
the certain instalments and dividing the spoils.
Truly yours, &c., GEO. F. HORTON.
The Bedford Valley Snake.
wo of our citizens have visited the spot where
this' tree serpent was seen, with, a view of captur
ing the in - nster. They were unsuccessful, but re
ceived abuamt assurance of his actual existence.
They saw and4xamined the skin he had shed, and
found it fully twenlione feel six inches long. They
also saw and conversed' with Mr. John Elder, a
most reliable citizen, who had met the animal face
to face. Mr. Elder encountered him in a lane,
across which he was laying. with his tail in one
meadow and his head near the second fence.—
From hisklusty brown color, Mr. Elder mistook
him for the ridgepole of the fence, until his horse
started back With fright, when the serpent reared up
the full bight of the rider and darted fire from his
eyes. The horse instantly whirled and dashed off
in alarm, and by the lime he could be brought back
to the spot, the snake had disappeared in the high
grass. Mr. Elder thinks he is between 20 and 30
feet long.—Cumberland Jour.
