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-

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

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

The Richmond Enquirer denounces this speech
as " Black Republican," and trusts that Botts

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 :

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.

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.

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.

What will Buchanan do in tha Case of no
Election by the People.
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. Hut whether he viewed
that there was any corruption of not, I know
not, but one thing I do know, that lie wished
me to combat them with their own weapons—
that was to let my friends say if I was elected
1 would make Mr. Clay Secretary of State.—
This, to me, appeared gross corruption, and I
repelled it with that honest indignation as
(which) I thought it deserved.
ss3?°" The A nli-SI ax-cry SUituUird, the organ
of the Garrison Abolitionists, takes strong
ground against the Kepnblican party. 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

LETTER FROM HON A. 0. BKOWX.
W ASHINOTON CNV, ,| MIE J*
My denr Sir : I congratulate ton t f>r
nomination of your favorite candidate for tV
Presidency
If the nomination of Mr. Buchanan tragic
-1 ceptable to me at first, it is still more so now
—since I have seen him and heard ldin ,j ~k
The Committee, of which I was one, waind
• cm him at his residence to give him formal ai. i
I official notice of his nomination, and in the
j name of the National Democracy to reqiu-o.
| his acceptance of it We found him
frank, and wholly nndisguised in the exi.o
sion of his sentiments.
Mr. Buchanan said, in the presence of p.;?
who had assembled, and they vo-ro from tin-
North and the South, t!ie East an I the \b-:,
that he stood upon fhr Cincinnati platform <ml
endorsed crrry part of if. If,- was erplfiiin
his remarks on its slavery features, so mm tk.it
the slavery issue iras the absorbing rhmrn' in tnr
• ennrass. He recognised to its fullest extent
j the overshadowing importance of that issue.
! and if elected, he would make it the. urtut mm
j of his administ/ntii n to settle the question
' upon such terms as should give p'-aeeaii.!snfe
ty to the T*iiion, and sccuritv to the South.
He spolx in terms of tlcculed rommtmldl
; the Kansas bill, and as pointedly deprecated
! the unworthy efforts of sectional agitation to
1 get up a national conflagration on that mm?-
j tion. After the passage of the compromise
measures of IbGO, the Kansas bill was, he
said, necessary to harmonize our legislation i:,
| reference to the territories, ami he expressed
Ins surprise that there shouldapjit-ar-tnivwherc
! an organized opposition to the Kansas bill, nf
-1 ter the general asquiescenee which the wi.->!r
. country had expressed in the measures of 1
After thus speaking of Kansas and the
slavery issues, Mr - Buchanan passed tu. :r
foreigu policy. lie approved in general Items
ij the Cincinnati rendu'i ns an this subject
But said tliat while enforcing our own polity,
we must at all times scrupulously regard tie
just rights and proper policy of other nations,
lfe wii? not opposed to territorial extrusion.
All our acquisitions had been fairly and hon
orably made. Our necessities might rcpu m
to make other acquisitions, lie regsriiri lv
acquisition of Cuba as very dnsir.ihlc tunc,am
it inns JikeJy to become a national necessity.—
j Whenever we could obtain hc island on Mr.
honorable terms, he was for taking it. But
he added, it would be a terrible necessity that
would induce ine to sanction any movement
that would bring reproach upon ns, or taruisa
the honor and glory of our beloved country.
After the formal interview was over, Mr,
i Buchanan said playfully, but in the prow" 1
of the whole audience, " If 1 ran It instrvm *-
tni in settling the slavery question up i thtt'rms
I hare named, and then add <-ida to the ' w
I shall, if President, be trilling gtee U F
ghost, ami let Jirechiitridpe fake the ll'crn vf-
Co,(hi there be a more noble imbue ■ \" :1
nuiy Well be proud of your early choice c. v
candidate, and congratulate yoorselt that n
adverse influences ever moved yon an inchy'-ia
your stem purpose of giving the great I
sylvanian a steady, earnest and cordial •
port In my judgment he is as
southern covfidenee unci southern rites as a.
Calhoun ever iras ; nitd in sating this I da'
mean to intimate that Mr. Buchanan has a :
sectional prejudices in our favor I 011 >} "■
to say that he has none against ns, ond '
we may rely with absolute certainty on r.
ing full justice, according to the constitution
his hands, f ~,
Knowing your long laborious and fa- I '-" 1
adlierence to the fortunes of Mr. Buclia"- 1 ;
I have thought it proper to address you t "
; letter, to give you assurance that you
mistaken your man, nor failed in the 1
ancc of a sacred and fillial duty to the >' u '
In doing so I violate no confidence.
Very truly, vour friend,

tico to say that I do not understand

self the justice to say, that if "lie had a'
the sentiment so repugnant to the coic j ll
