littlish subjects.
Tits Canpa' Wesvwstue—The intelligence re
specting the corrfcrop grows daily more encourag
trig. There is but litile room to doubt that, while
the crop is not et undant as usual, it is still nth f
cienily so to meet all the demands for consumption
that are likely to 'arise There is also a large
amount of old coin on ! hand. The demand from
Europe and California no longer exves, for both
have been supplied by their own home crops. A
letter from Peru, (Ind ,) says the corn crop through
that region is better than the average for some years
previous, both in the gearitity per acre and the
'numb, rot acres cultivated The lowa papers say
all crops in that Stwe are abundant. In %Visconsin
they were never surpassed. The Bost to Journal
says, it learns from a gentleman who has just beets
through Uhnois, and has letters and ads ices of
test dates from parts of Illinois, lowa, Missouri and
.Wisconsin, that there wul b. a lull average corn
erop—more than an average in the north arid a lit
tle less in the south, but lull crops in all parts
where hogs are grown. The corn on the prairies
luoks remarkably well; the reports that have been
in the papers about hall crops ot corn in the states !
referred to Originated mostly with tlif.•e Ito have I
corn and hogs to sell. He is transited that there
will be 25 per cent more hogs 'racked M the fon
States above named than an average, and a large
increase over last year. In portions ol New York,
where it was feared that corn and potatoes. Ns ete
ruined, the papers say the yield ia better than
petted. The oat crop also proves to have been
indeli better than expected', arid prices begin to fall
'From all these accounts, it is eviderit that the deach
did not do so much injury as Whs feared. A cor
respondent ot the New' York Journal of Commerce,
who has been on a tour to the %Vest, says:—
" You may put it down as a settled fact, that we
have more grain of all kinds than there ever. has
been a market for, and more than will be wanted
or can be sold at present prices, without a great
foreign demand i and it the produce operators are
basing their calculations on a short crop, they will
find themselves woldly mistaken. Every avenue,
is choked with ?Jain—the railroads, one and all
are overrun with grain= - there is not half capacity
enough to do the business. The warehouses and
and cars are lull of grain, and it can't be got

Freedom's Battle
lu the strut:gle which has been for years gointi
on, against the designs of the Slaver) Extentiormi.,
the Twelfth Congressional District iti rentisylva.
nia, has alone been true to the pritwiples which she
early proclaimed and maintained. The public
men of the Start have been corrupted and debauch.
ed by the patrona4e and influence of Slavery, disc
pensin4 thi offices and plunder of the General Giv.
eminent ; county aler county has retrogarded born
the position taken by the Legislature in 1816; but
this Congressional District has remained tir p an)
true. Where 'fie eflorts of the Slavery propagandi
had thrown a cloud almost like the datkuese . o
night over the political-:horizon of the Common'
away in the 'Newt' there gleamed a bea ,
cou•;igty, never for a moment extinguished, nor ,
even dimmed, but burning, the brighter and flan'..
ing the loftier as the darkness increa'ed around.
In this District, the battle lot Freedom has belin
fought and won. Fought too, under circumstances
the most discouraging, against odds the most un
equal. . National Administrations have plied the
feductions of gat.onage, or thundered their anathe
ma.; falsehoods avid misrepresentations have been
freely used, but this Dr-tact stand., as she has al
ways stood the bulwark 01 Freedorn,aud the sworn
foe of the designs of Slavery.
It has lateen fortunate for the cause of Freedom
in Pennsylvania, dial this Disliict containa within
its borders none of the corrupting apphances with
which public opinion is debauched or misypresern
ed. We have, thank Grin, no Custom hOuses, will
a horde of greedy and dependent officers ; we have
within our borders, nut a siegle post which will
pay the p - issessor tor the labor necessary to des
charge its duties. Our population are endeavoring,
by h,onest industry, to procure the means of bube is -
lance. or independence. They are emphatically an
intelligent, a reading, and a thinking people They
are not to be led astray by sophistry, or swayed Ly
false reasoning. They,are as true to their pnnci•
plea as the needle to the pole. This is ttte true se•
cret of the fidelity and consistency with which they
have ever adhered to the cause of Freedom.
They have an opportunity again to make their
voice heard throughout the Commonwealth—again
to testify their devotion to the cane of justice and
truth. The National faith has been violated in the
Repeal of the Missouri Compromise. At the bid
ding, or to propitiate the friendship of Slavery, a
compromise has been disregarded, which for thirty
four years had .been sacredly observed by the
North, and under which Slavery had already se
cured all the advantages guaranteed by its terms.
Against this infamous act, our Representative in
Congress, threw afl the infi t uence he possessed.—
Faithful amongst the faithless he stood, and carried
with him four of his Democratic colleagees.
Connery tb the " usages" of the party, Mr Glitow
i 4 again a eandidats. lite return was demanded
by eireurnstanres—it 'was called Inr by men of all
parties. The Freemen of Ibis Diatrict were deter
mined to express their abhorrence of the Repeal of
Missouri Compromise at the bz#llot•box. They
were determined that their Representative, who
had so nobly discharged his duff should be sustain
ed and endorsed. His re election'seemed the most
effectual and pf lin manner in which to - make their
Opinions known. His retnrn is the effect of his
course upon the Nebra4ka and the overwhelm
ing vote whichdle will receive, the verdict of con.
deAlnation 'pronounced by our people upon the
Dourn.ss iniquity.
It is a pleasure to us that his election will be so
regarded abroad. It is not capable of Misrepresenta
tion or doubt. EVeTy vote cast for GALUSVA A.
GROW is an expression against, 'the Repeal of the
blissonii Compromise. Let it be the care of every
opponent of the measure to cast such a'baltot, Be.
cause he has no competitor ncit a vote should be
lost. Every one will ewelt thel verdict, and have
its aim abroad.

Fidelity to regular nominations compels an ad
herence to bemocratic principles by procuring the
success of the Democratic party. the principle is
a cardinal one in our party drill, and ought to be
obeyed with militsry,
,promptiludeend:sitictnem—
Without such a principle we can never secure bar-
Inor y of action; that' tong pull, strong pull, and the'
pull altogether which will keep the State always in
theolear channel of Demociacy. Such a principle
silences all dissatisfaction and brushes away the
whims at individual preference and. prejudice.--
The candidate presented for the sufbages'of the
party is no longer my man or lilt man, but he tattle
man of the party, the regularly nominated candi
date: and in that capacity every Democrat is bound
to vote for him. The mall who does not intend to
abide the decision of our conference and convert
ion, ought to take higher ground and oppose the
method of selecting candidates, at the proper time,
and not seem to acquiesce in their proceedings un•
tit they have closed their deliberations, and then
withhold his support from the ticket which has been
(tamed. Such a man does no party any good. lie
scratches his ticket and votes for no one, or votes
fur Lis own favorite, and thus the voice of one free
man is lost.
The whole Ticket.
Democrats ! you have the power to elect your
whole ticket - Resolye to do it. Trample all treach
ery under your feet. Frottu down indignantly
any attempt to defeat- a 'single candidate. Let no
rnit.chievous and lying traitor, shake your confi
denee in the truth and fidelity of your candidates,
arid of each other. When they approach you with
stories that this or that candidate is trading off his
colleagues—or that such and such democrats will
strike a part of the ticket, believe them not. Stand .
together shAlder to shoulder, lean with confidence
upon the support of eaoh other, and with firm
and steady tread march to the ballot-box united as
one man. Such a coarse will ensure a crowning
victory, one which will be lasting in its influence,
and put to conlu-ion and shame the few traitors that
infest our camp. 44
Fellow c . tizens : you have a ticket of good men.
Why reproach them by 'defeat? If you will not
stand by and sustain meni of integrity, you will very
soon have none such to represent you. LAPORTE
and DANIELS are good men. They have the ca
pacity to make themselves useful in the Legislature,
and the integrity to keep themselves free from all
corroptinginfluences.
The candidate for sheriff, NUTITAN EDMINISTKR
is worthy of the support of the great party of which
he is a member. Do not allow any malicious de•
tamer to otter falsehood concerning him. Hie hab
its are unexceptionable, his experience ample, and
his honesty unquestioned. He will discharge the
delicate arid responsible duties appertaining to the
Sheriffs office, in a manner to give public satisfic•
J. Masou WArrms should not lose a single De
.mocratio vote. His fitness for the office of Pro
thonotary is unquestioned.
H W can, GEORGIC H BOLT, JONATHAN
BOTTLE., and W W EA3TEHEIROOIO, are all men
whoa enomination is creditable to the party.
A County Ticket less liable to objections was
never before the people. We abjure the Democ
racy of Bradford to come up to its support with
closed ranks and a firm determination to win a glo
rious victory.
Fellow Democrats ! do not allow yourself to be
misled by falsehood, misrepresentations, or by any
collateral issues to be raised. All such are intend
ed solely to distract and defeat the Democratic par.
ty. You well know the perseverance and activity
with which the federal leaders of this County have
sought to diminish and overcome our Democratic
majority. The same men are now at work, fruit-
WI in sehemes to effect this object. Do not per.
mit them to succeed under any pretence whatever .
t.vety successful attempt to break into the ranks of
the Demacracy, makes them mote bold and confi
dent, and entails upon the democratic party increas
ed ac:ivtty and zeal-to overcome these machina
tions. A brilliant triumph renders victory more
easy, and more certain, in future.
Are Ton A d I
Next Saturday is the last day, the law requiring
ten days before the election. Look to your own
names, Democrats, and then those of your .neigh
bore. Let not a vote be lost by inattention to the
assessments.
ft should be known that to entitle a man to vote
at the earning election, it is necessary that be shall
have been a resident of the State one year, and of
the district or township where he offers his vote,
ten days, and that he has paid a State and County
tax which was assessed at least ten days previons
to the day of election.
Young men, however, between tWenty-one and
twenty two, who are qualified in other respects,
are entitled' to a vote without the payment of any
tax.
And for persons who have once been voters in
the .State and removed therefrom and returned, a
residence ofsix , 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
vions to the election. We hope, therefore, „that
every democrat in the county will go to the as
sessor and see that his name is on the list-and see
to it in time. The coming election 'is one of mo•
mentous interest, and is necessary that every de
mocrat should be fully armed and equipped as the
law directs.
Q::7" The law providing for a vote on the Prohib
awry Liquor Law, , at the approaching General Eleo
!inn, will be found at full length, in the Proclama
matiori lor the election, issued by the Sheriff.
Those in 'favor of the law, are to vote tickets with
the words " For a Prohibitory Law," opon them ;
and those opposed to it to use tickets with the
words " Against a Prohibitory Law ;" written or
printed on them ; each kind of ticket to be endors
ail Outside 1, Prohibitory Liquor Law." The ob
jector thil law is to ascertain the wishes of the
•people in regent to the enactment of a Prohibitory
LtirWtn - rennsylvimia. Every man should - vote on
this questicitr, so thatibe voice of the majority may
be fairly expressed and made known to the next
L;gialatnre.

sheet, thus conceived in venafity and dependence,
was in due time ushered into existence, misnamed
the Pennsylvania Patriot," and ostensibly placed
under the charge of one ANDLILW HOPKINS, who,
we believe, once illuminated the political horizon
somewhere in the Western part of the S ate.
As if proud of the degrading and Servile position
he occupies, this editor makes every effort to dis
play and exult in the collar which adorns his neck.
1 ant his Bayal Highness' dog at Yea"
No person of any degree' f manliness and inde
pendence would occupy a place which compelled
him to be a plaint tool and vassal in the hands of
masters, a mere automaton to be moved by others.
There can no grosser prostitution of the high cha
racter of the t press, than when lie conductor bangs
like a leech upon the public treasury, end shapes
his course obedient to the 'powers which feed him,
approving, vrttat, they say approve, and condemning
what they Xay condemn. There is only one more
degrading position, and that is, that of the misera
ble pimps who, in the cities, hang around bawdy
houses, living upon the ill gotten gains of the poor
wretches wbo carry on their infernal traffic.
II the persons who own and control the Patriot
p,uppose that its establishment will advance any fa
vorite scheme, they will be undeceived. We have
no recollection of any paper which in the same
length of time has displayed an equal amount of
imbecility and indis.:retion. It has become a sub
ject of mortification to its friends, arid of derision
to its enemies. But if they are anxious . to distract
the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, they have
chosen a fitting instalment. He would founder in
the local politics ol the smallest c.ounty in the State.
Our advice is, that they had better remove him
at once, to a certain building near Harrisborg,lately
erected at the expense of the State, where. it is
possible, under long and careful treatment, he may
in time become sane ; arid where, at least, he can
be restrained from acts which mortify and injure
those he is expected to serve.
The State Debt Reduced.
The Whigs have been entleairoring to create the
impression that during Oov. Bioccit's stimit.istra
tion the State debt has been increased, and the Ar
gus has published some T bles to prove the asset.
non. Soch is not the case, although there has been
many heavy and extraordinary expenditures, all of
which have been paid, and the interest on the
State debt promptly met. We last week published
the report of the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund of their operations during the last three years,
from which we learn that there has been paid and
extinguished of the public debt of the Common
wealth, five hundred and eleven thonsand, one
hundred and fifty-nine dollars and thirty•one cents,
and the certificates of stock representing that sum
have been cancelled . lu addition to this, the sum
of two htind'ed and sixty-four thousand, one hen:
dred and
. forty-two dollars of relief notes have also
been cancelled and destroyed, leaving a balance
in the hands of the State Treasuret, applicable to
the same purpose, of one hundred and forty-eight
dollars and eighty-lour cents, l making in all a 'e
duction of NINE HUNDRED AND THREE
THOUSAND,: NINE , HUNDRED AND FIFTY
DOLLARS AND FIFTEEN CENTS, of the public
debt. Think of this, ye tax payers, when you come
to cast your votes, on the second Tuesday of Oc
tober. The State debt reduced nearly one million
of dolfarst.
What will the Whigs say no*, in the fade of dtt
official statement, showing that it fair b'en ro
retlncedl By an economical administra
lion of the Government, Gov. BicLea has .beien en
abled to wipe out of existence this large amount of
indebtedness, and does he not deserve the plaudit
" well done thou good and faithful servant."
The Issue.
The Montrose Democrat, speaking of the issues
involved in the present contest, says " It is no less
than folly, for the opponents of the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, to make their issue in this
election upon the Governor. In the first place, his
position is such that
. by voting for him we do not
endorse that repeal, and therefore it is not fairly an
issue. And, in the second place, our Congression
al elections is the legitimate place to make the is
sue, because there the question is to be decided.
By making it on the Governor, therefore, not one
tenth part of the strength can be wielded, because
men generally are not disposed, i' politics, to Make
isms where none really exist. They are very apt
to look upon such efforts with distrust, and thus the
cause itself become's weakened in the public mind
Let us look at this.
There are thee Congressional' Districts ; besides
this, in vrhieh Democrats are running opposed to
that repeal. In those Districts , no question is made
libont the Governor'4osition—he will receive the
full Democratic vote. sow, suppose in this Dis
trict we make the issue un the Governor. What
Foes it amount tot Why simply this. Af er the
election, all the anti-repeal voles we can claim in
the State, by our own showing, will be the very
few the Governor may lose in this District. Would
not be an elegant show for Pennsylvania! Would
it not be a tremendous party Now, on the alder
hand, if we bat take the issue in our Congressional
elections, we may fairly claim, and the country
will understand, that there were polled in the De
mocratic districts of the State, some eighty or ntnefy
Monier& votes. How then, is the National Admin
istration to claim a victory in Pennsylvania on this
question. The idea is 'absurd and ridiculous. The
National Administration will have no such victory,
unless it be by the folly of anti-Nebraska voters
themselves, in making the issue where it does not
belong, and on a man who is certain to be elected,
because the people are satisfied with his Adminis
tration, and will continue, not change it."

Gov. Bigler and Ptobllbilldd.
The Argus last week publishes an extract froth
the Lackawanna Herald, to the effect that Gov. Bin-
Lea in his remarks at Scranton, left the impression
that be " looked upon the Maine Law as an °berm;
stitutional measure." We are assured that, Gov.
Bratit's remarks at Scranton, were substantially
the same as those delivered here, and 3ould not be
tortured into any such opinion, being the same also
laid down in his letter to the Temperance Cora•
miitee.
Gov. Bioeca's position in regard to the question
of Prohibition is one which must meet the appro
val and respect of every honest and candid friend
of Temperance He stands ready to carry out. the
popular will as expressed at the ballot-box this fall,
and will cheerfully sign any Prohibitory Law which
is not inconsistent to the Constitution. We should
distrust a man who would promise more. We be
lieve that a large majority of the votes this fall,
will be in favor of a Prohibitory Liqoor Law, and
we also have every assurance that the popular ver
dict will meek with Gov. Bigler's cordial approba
tion. The cause of Temperance will+ meet with no
obstacles proceeding from him.
LATER News Fanst Ecnore.—By the arrival of
the steamship Ottawa at Quebec we have three
dayf later intelligence from Europe. There is
nothing of the slightest interest from the seat of
war. The Austrians had entered Buchatest, and
issued a proclamation calculated to conciliate the
inhabitants, and reconcile them to a change of
masters. The diplomats were—plolgressing in the
liveliest manner; but amid the report and contra
dictions, the admissions and denials, it is Dustily
impossible to ascertain with any degree of accura

of the problem -r uriler consideration. At Madrid
the public tranquility had been restored without

staffs was very dull, and a decline in price has been
experienced.
KrThe Westmoreland Arr,rrs,in 1N1V31 . 8 district,
speaking of Gov. BIOLER'II address at Montrose,
says: " His disapprobation , of the repeal of the Mis.
salmi Comprortrise will seture the vote of many de
mocrats in this county Who ranold not support any
one favorable to that act of Congress, which has
been followed by such disastrous consequence to
the Democratic party."
We learn that a report has been cltdulated
in some parts of the County, that many cases of
cholera had occurred in this Borough. This is not
true. The general health of this place has been
unusually good during the past summer, and no
disease of an epidemic or contagious nature has
made its appearance.
The independent whigs of the second dis
trict, Philadelphia, !rive nominated lion. J. R.
Chandler for Congress; and the Know Nothings of
the same district have nominated Jacob L:Gossler.
There are now four candidates in the field in this
district.
