Next Saturday is the last day, the law re quiring ten days before the election. Look to yonr own names, Republicans and then those of your neighbors. Let not a vote be lost by Inattention to the assessments. It should be known that to entitle a man to rote at the coming election, it is necessary that he 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 previous to the day of election. Young men, however, between twenty-one and twenty two, who are qualified in other re spects are entitled to a vote without payment of any tax. And for the persons who havo onco beon 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 pay ment of a tax is necessary, it must have been aescßsel ten days previous to the election. REPUBLICAN (N. Y.) STATE CONVENTION. The Republican State Convention of New- York assembled at Syracuse, on the 11th inst. Charles E. Clarke, of Jefferson county, was chosen permanent Chairman.

California. —' The steamer George Law ar rived in New-York on last Sunday week. It brought $1,601,000 in gold. The Vigilance Committee had disbanded quietly, and a most splendid review was made of their troops, five or six thousand strong. A sjiectator who was in the Mexican war says he never saw any thing military half so magnificent. Judge Ter ry, of the Supreme Court, was released from imprisonment, the man he stabbed having re covered. All was quiet again. The Hon. John M. Botts, a veteran politician of Virginia, lately delivered a speech at Richmond, Va., in which he repudiated the idea that the South would dissolve the Union if Fremont were elected. He denounced une quivocally the brutal assault upon Mr. Sumner. The Richmond Enquirer denounces this speech as " Black Republican," and trusts that Botts inay be arrested and prosecuted under the act for the suppression of incendiary language. The vacancy in the Congressional dele gation of Illinois, caused by the resignation of Col. Richardson, Pern., is to be filled at the ensuing election. The opjioneuts of the ad ministration have united upou Thomas C. Sharp as theft candidato. " Preserve both Liberty and the Union." MASS MEETING, AT Towanda, Monday, September 22, 1856. 10,000 r KHBraira IN council; The Mnss Meeting held at this place on Monday Inst, was one of the largest, most im posing and enthusiastic demonstrations ever held in Northern Pennsylvania. The clonds which lowered over the prospects of a fair day, the evening before, broke away on the morning of the occasion, and a more propitious day could not have been desired. Eurly in the morning there was every indication that the attendance would be large, and about 11 o'clock, delega tions from the different townships began to ar rive. Most numerous, of course, was the turn out from the Eastern townships, (as the Wes tern pnrt of the Connty expected to attend the meeting at Troy the next day) preceded by the Leraysville Band. The concourse of wagons, drawn by six, four and two horses, was beyond all question, greater than ever before known in the County. Crossing the river below the dam, they were met by an immense procession from Durell, Asylum, Monroe, Franklin and Leßoy, and marched up Main street and re turned to the public square. From Ulster, Athens, Sheshequin, Litchfield and Windham, the attendance was large aud the display fine. We have uot opportunity to designate the different delegations as they properly deserve, nor to give the devices aud inscriptions upon the many banners, as we must content ourselves with a brief account. Stands were erected upon the public square and seats provided for the accommodation of the audience. At 1 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the selectiou of the follow ing officers : President —GOßDON F. MASON. VICK FRKSIHENTB. GEORGE KINNEY, THOMAS MATHER, 11. LAWRENCE SCOTT, E. 11. PF.RKTXS, JOHN* PASSMORE, NATHAN YOUNG, ZEBULON FRISME, HARRY ACKREY, SAMCEE COOI.BACGII, JOHN F. CHAMBERLIN, JAMES IIODCE, J. M. BISHOP, •JOSEPH HILTON, URIAH TERRY, EARI. NICHOLS, JOHN B.

The meeting being organized, ULYSSES MER CER, in brief, but pertinent remarks, introduc ed to the audience, Hon. G. A. GROW, who was received with a tempest of applause. The pride which the Freemen of this district feel in their young, but talented and efficient Rep resentative was manifested by applause which made the welkin ring. Mr. GROW then ad dressed the audience in a masterly speech of two honrs length, and gave way for A. S. Di- VEN of Elmira, who was received with enthu siastic applause. Mr. DIVEN'S address was able, logical aod convincing, and was interrup ted by many demonstrations of satisfaction.— Upon the conclusion of his remarks, the meet ing adjourned until evening. At 7 o'clock, the meeting convened in the Court House, which was crowded in every part. The President introduced to the audience JAS. C. SMITH of Cnnandaigua, who for nearly two hours literally enchained his audience by a most masterly and eloquent speech, which was received with much applause and unbounded enthusiasm. At the conclusion of his speech, a torch-light procession was formed, and march ed through the principal streets halting in front of the Ward House, where the assembled mul titude, was addressed from the piazza of the hotel by T. W. BROWNING, of Ravenna, Ohio, and by U. MERCUR. j A more satisfactory political demonstration ; could not be made. Considering that but a portion of the County was in attendance, the numbers preseut exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. We hear the attendance variously estimated from six to TEN THOU SAND. The sturdy yeomanry of our free bills turned out en masse to testify their devo to the cause of Freedom, and. their hatred of tyranny and oppression. The ladies too, in great numbers, graced the occasion with their presence, and contributed not a little to the satisfaction of the demonstration. ; The Lcraysvilic band contributed by its fine music to the pleasure of the occasion, and is deserving of all credit and praise. —But one drawback upon the entire satis faction of this meeting was the absence of Messrs. BURI.INGAME and WILSON. When they were advertised, there was positive pssurance that they would be present. The former was physically unable to attend, but Mr. WILSON'S absence remains unaccounted for. The proba bility is that he has been persoaded by friends to remain in localities where more converts could be made tliau here. ftaJ- The State Fair this year will be held at Pittsburg, commencing September 30th,and continuing the Ist, 3d, and 3d of October.— The annual address will be delivered by Hon. GEORGE W. WOOOWARP of the Supreme Court. Very extensive preparations are being made to accommodate the exhibitors, and everything i promises this to be one of the largest and most interesting Fairs ever held in our State. I®- Gov. POLLOCK has signed the death • warrant af John Michael Kamia, who is now confiued iu the Sullivan county jail for the murder of Vctaugruber. He is to be execu ted on Friday, the 14th of November. GOV. REEDER FOR FREMONT. The letter from Hon. A. 11. REEDER, to the editor of the Prening Post, which will be found in another column, is deserving the at tention of every caudid and patriotic Voter. — Perhaps DO man iu the Comraonwealth has been a more intimate friend and zealous sup porter of Mr. BUCHANAN for many years, than has Qov. REKDER. He has on two different occasions been selected to represent Mr. BU CHANAN'S cause in the Democratic National Convention and has always shared alike the confidence and respect of that gentleman and the Democratic [tarty of the State. The reasons which, after a long and painful struggle, have irresistibly forced upon him the necessity of withholding his support from the nominee of the Cincinnati Convention, should be carefully pondered by every Democrat es pecially. He sees iu Mr. BUCHANAN the can didate of a party now prostituted to the dis reputable condition of being n mere ally of the slave power, nc finds that party control led by the Nullifying Disunionists of the South who have no other purpose except to extend and perpetuate the institution of Slavery.— Intimately connected with the cause of Free dom in Kansas, Gov. HERDER hns learned that when in the North the Democratic party ha? no sympathy for the settlers who have suffer ed so many outrages and so much injustice, while Border Ruffianism is united and zealous in its support of Mr. BUCHANAN. By this party, the Northern emigrants are maligned and stigmatized as alxditionists, and denomi nated a " drunken, blear-eyed rabble," their purposes misrepresented, and their oppressors openly defended, by the Democratic press, or excuses and palliating circumstances sought after. Gov. REEDER knows too well that the elec tion of JAMES BUCHANAN under all the cir cumstances of the present contest, would be regarded as a verdict of the American people iu favor of Border Ruffianism—he understands too well the influences that surround and con trol a President, to indulge in the hope that Mr. BUCHANAN could, if desirous, favor the cause of Freedom, or halt one step in the on ward march of Slavery aggrandizement, which the South now demands of its Northern tools. He would be surrouuded by the same ambi tious crew, who have made the name of PIERCE iufamons—his advisers and the supporters of his administration would be composed of the same clique of disunionists and nullifiers—and to hesitate one moment in giving the support of his administration to forward their designs, would bring dowu upon him the denunciation and warfare of the men who had nominated and elected him, and to whom he must look for support. To a man of Gov. REEDKR'S sagacity and experience the consequences are plain—the only hope for Freedom is in the success of Col. FREMONT, to this end he will hereafter devote all his time and energies. He is destined to powerfully affect the result iu Pennsylvania, which, with his aid cannot be considered doubt ful. [For the Bradford Reporter.) MR. EDITOR. —I well recollect that V. E. PIOLLET, who seemed to be the mouth piece of the so-called democracy in this county, bust fall, in his stnmj> speeches, condemned the policy of the present national administration; and proclaimed himself a first rate, simon pure " Free Soiler," and asked the people to believe it upon his honor as a man, and was backed up by J. F. MEANS, and C. L. WARD in par ticular, and by the party leaders generally iu last full's campaign. This same trio has since participated as delegates, the two first in the State Convention which assembled last spring at Harrisbnrg, and the first and last named, in the Cincinnati Convention, which nominated JAMES BUCHANAN, both of which convention,, endorsed FKASKUN PIERCK in the strongest terms by the aid of their votes, and without a dissenting voice, and stigmatized the " Free Soil" party as " Sectionalists," " Black Re publicans," " Disunionists," "Abolitionists" and with other reproachful epithets. After endorsing the measures of Pierce's administra tion and aiding iu the nomination of JAMES BUCHANAN, and in placing him upon a platform of principles embodying all the iniquitous doc trines of Douglas, Pierce, fe Co., ami in which Mr. Br CHAV.VN has merged his indentity, we find these same men again among the people proclaiming JAMES BUCHANAN as a truer friend of the oppressed in Kansas, than JOHN C. FREMONT, and a.-k the people again to believe tliem, while they assert that JAMES BUCHANAN can be n lied on to secure the freedom of Kan sas and prevent the e.xtention of Slavery over that Territory. QUERY. —In which instance have they spok en the truth ? Will some one please iniform me through the Reporter . CAN DOR. DEATH OF LORENZO B. SHEPARD. —The N. Y. Tribune says : We arc greatly pained at being compelled to announce the sodden death of LORENZO B. SUF.I'ARD, Counsel to tlie Cor poration of this city, whodied Wednesday,lHth instant. Mr. Shcpard, though comparatively a young man, had filled many high aDd prominent po sitions, and been known for years as a leading lawyer and an energetic Democratic politician. We learn that an intimate friend culled at Mr. Shepard's house to see him on Wedncs dad morning early, and was told that Mr. Shepard was then in the bath. After wait ing some time, the visitor proceeded to his chamber, and discovered Mr. Shepard dead iu the bath. Re had evidently been suddenly attacked by a rush of blood to the head, and had breathed his last before assistance reached him. CI RCITL AE Of the Executive Committee of the Bradford Coun ty Agricultural Society- Tlie undersigned, Executive Coniniittec of the Bradford Caunty Agricultural Society, to the Fanners, Mechanic*, and others interested and engaged in industrial pursuits in Bradford County and vicinity : The Society will hold its fourth Annual Fair at the borongli of To wan da on tlin Ist, 2d and 3d days of October next. Its former exhibitions have been suc cessful beyond the expectations of its most ar dent friends. The question heretofore enter tained by many as to whetlier the qn lity of the products of onr County would warrant an annual exhibition, such as would be satisfacto ry and an honor to our producers, can be no longer entertained by any one that has visited our Fairs. Neither can there be any doubt as to the great benefit resulting to the agricultu ral and industrial interests of the County thro' the auspices of the society. The impetus giv en to one branch alone is most astonishing and gratifying. Up to the holding of its first fair, the improvement of Stock was confined com paratively to a few of our farmers. Those that attended that fair will recollect that Cat tle of the improved breeds were exceedingly meagre in number. The succeeding exhibitions, however, gave evidence, in the number and great beauty of the young cattle exhibited, of an impetus and improvement in this branch, dating from that first fair of the society, total ly uncxexpccted by the most sanguine. So, also, in many other branches of industry, has im provement been most manifest and gratifying. It is a pleasing reflection, doing credit to our own producers, that strangers from other parts of our own State and from other States visit ing our fairs, have invariably expressed them selves greatly pleased with our products of all kinds, drawing comparisons highly favorable to our County. At no preceding exhibition lias the Society been able to offer to the farmers and producers of this County such inducements as it is confi dently expected the present one will present. One of the benefits resulting from the exhibi tions of the society, is the superior advantage they afford to advertise the quality of our pro ductions. Our fairs are visited by persons who eome to obtain information—and the advan tages thus afforded arc mutually beneficial. It should be borne in mind that the obtain ing of a premium ought by no means to be the only inducement for persons having articles wor thy of exhibition ; beconsc the object then would become a more mercenary one, and the groat purposes a'd principles of the society would be thwarted and subverted. One of the great objects being to bring together annually, for mutual comparison, specimens of the pro ducts "of our County and vicinty, the Commit tee would urge UJKHI our citizens and others having articles of superior quality, to present them for exhibition. They hope that the FARMING, MECHANICAL and HOUSEHOLD De partments of this Fair will largely excceed any that has preceded it. The experience of the past has enabled the Committee to obviate to a considerable extent many of the difficulties and jierplexities always attendant in the arrangement of the details of a new enterprise. Extensive arrangements are making in view of the prospect of a large rium bo of visitors. If the River should continue at its present stage, there will be no difficulty iu teams crossing below the dam. The Committee are pleased in being able to assure the citizen* of this County and others, that the Hon. HORACE GREELEY will be present and deliver the Annual Address, unless prevented by sickness or other unforscen cir cumstances. M. 11. LANXIXO, ) STKViIKN I'OVVKLIJ, N K. \V. HAI.K, | Committee. J. c. mini WAV, J A Confession of Degeneracy. The Richmond Enquirer of a late date, re ferring to the votes of tho United States Senato in opposition to tho three vetoes of President Pierce, thus speaks of the degener acy and degradation of its own political par ty : If it were possible to defeat, the election of Mr. Buchanan, the recent course of certnin democratic members of Congress 011 the sub ject of Internal Improvements would precipi tate that deplorable catastrophe npon the country. Against the traditional policy of the party, against its latest declaration of principle in the Cincinnati platform, and des pite the protest of the President, three Inter nal Improvement bills have been enacted by the aid of democratic votes. Never have w'o known the mass of the democracy in this state, and we may say throughout the South, so humiliated ami incensed as by this instance of profligate subserviency to local prejudice. No occurrence since the organization of the democratic party has so shaken the faith of the people iu its firmness and fidelity." This is true enough. The party by which Buchanan is supported has forfeited all claim to respect. Its leaders seem to have lost sight of all political principle. The only bend of union among tbem, that we can perceive, is that of interest—the desire to retain posses sion of the offices and honors of the federal government. fifed" "\ ou profess to feel great confidence in the election of your candidate," said a Bu chaneer to a Fremonter, in Wisconsin lntolv, J< but you dare not bet on it."

" I will bet you five hundred dollars that, if Fre mont shall be elected, Kansas will lx? a Free State, and five hnndred more that, if P>nchan ari shall succeed, it will be a Slave State," re joined the Fremonter. The Buchauccr declin ed both bets, ami disappeared. It is stated that over sixty thousand 1 barrels of lager beer will be manufactured this i year in Milwaukie alone. 1 NEWS ITEMS. — THF.

The following letter from Andrew Jackson the original of which is now in the possession ol the editor of the Nashville serves to give lissome idea of the course Mr. Bu chanan would be likely to pursue in case the election should have to lie decided by the House of Representatives. If he was willing to use gross corruption thirty years ago to secure the Presidency for a friend, what would he be willing to do now to secure it for himself?— Any one who is good in figures may be useful ly employed in ciphering oat the answer to this question. "HERMITAGE, February 20, 1945. " Your observations with regard to Mr. Bu chanan are correct, lie showed a want of moral courage in the affair of the intrigue of Adams and Clay—did not do me justice in the expose he then made, and I am sure about that time did believe there was n perfect un derstanding between Adams and Clay about the Presidency and the Heeretary of State. this lam sure of.

It gives, in its leading article for this week, an extract of a letter from a " dear sighted Ab olitionist in Massachusetts,'' who says, that the success of the Republicans, will in its be numbing and satisfying influence retard the movements of the slaves redemption. So Park er FiUsbnry, a prominent Garrisonian, in a speech at Farmingham, on the 4th of July, declared his preference for the election of Bu chanan, because it would tend to promote and influence the Anti-Slavery agitation, while that of Fremont Would tend to a cessation of it. Wendell Phillips, another Garrisonian Abo litionist, said to be the most c!ct|(tcnt man in the United States, an nvowt • Disuuionist, is also for Ruchanan. lie s:v h still has hope of Disunion—he still has that the elec tion of Ruchanan may efleet that object, The And-Slavery Jingle, of Ohio, and in fact, every Abolition [sqicr advocating Disunion', condemns the Republican candidate. Thev arc doing all in their power for Hqphu-uan, by withdrawing votes from Fremont. Fillmore and Buchanan arc both Disunion isst, avowd, unless they are elected President; and the course they would pursue, if elected, would no doubt tend to widen the breach be tween the North and South. The election of Fremont, on the contrary, would forever blast the prospects of Disunionists, North and South. His policy and official influence, even without legislature, would at once stop the efforts to extend Slavery, and bring in tbo Territories, one by one, as free States. In the same way, Slavery would be abolished in this District by the Peoplo, without the interference of Con gress. What is more—a Union party will im mediately develop itself in the South, which will prefer the Union to Slavery extension ; and which will, in a few years, owing to the greater freedom of discussiou, prefer Freedom to Slavery. In a word, the election of Fre mont wiil inaugurate a great Emancipation par ty iu the south.— National Era.
