VOTES Wo hare printed a large supply of votes for the Republican candidates,which onr friends in the different election districts can procure by calling at this office. ARE THE VOTERS READY? But a few days now intervene before the Oc tober election ? Are the voters of this Coun ty aware of the great importance of success on the second Tuesday of October? It is an admitted fact, that if the Union State Ticket, is elected, it secures the defeat of Buchauan. We urge upon our friends thus early to make preperations for a FULL VOTE. Every vote added to the majority in the State will be worth two in November. In the strong Re publican towns of the County, there is great danger that the voters will not be all out. Let arrangements be made to poll every vote.—• Your opponents will not lose an available vote. We must be equally active and vigilant and a certain triumph awaits us. not only in the Coun ty, but the State and the L'nion. M iss M EF.TING AT TROY. —Tho meeting held at Troy, on the 23d ult., was the largest gath ering ever known in this County, exceeding in numbers the meeting at this place on the 22d. The Freemen of Western Bradford turned out en masse to testify their interest in the cause of Freedom. The number present was estima ted at 12,000. C'ol. IKAD WILSON* presided, and speeches were made by Hon. G. A. GROW*, Hon. LEVI G. NOBLE, of Wisconsin, JAS. C. SMITH, of Canandaigua, and A. S. DIVEN, of Ehnira. In the evening, a meeting was held in the Presbyterian church. Taken together, the two meetings at Tow auda and Troy, are unprecedented in numbers and enthusiasm, by any County mass meeting held during the present canvass. From 15,000 ♦o 20,000 people in a single conuly turning out to meetings, is au evidence of the intense inter est felt iu the success of correct principles. Before the speaking commenced at Troy, the staging erected for the speakers gave way, falling upon and injuring several persons. One man named CARL wa so severely injured that he has since died. HOW STANDS THE RECORD 7 The Euchanicrs, in this region, r.rc constant ly laboring to relieve the party from the odinm <if slavery-propagandism, aud trom nil respon sibility for the nets of the present national Ad ministration. They will tell you that the par ti is not responsible for, and does not uphold the infamous conduct of PIERCE, aud that if he had been re-nominated they would not have supported him. This is all deceit—all sham. The democratic parly if thoroughly identified with the policy and measures of PIERCE'S ad ministration. The Southern democracy land the present National Administration as one of the best the country ever had—while North every Democratic State Convention, with a single exception, has passed resolutions approv ing of PIERCE'S measures. The State Convention of Pennsylvania was held at Harrisburg, on the 4th of h ,s i- The delegates from this County were Jpi-' MEANS, Y. E. PIOLLET, and W. 11.

FAITHFUL and EE FIL'IEMT-*ft\\\y equal to all the emergencies which the country has lfui rt> encounter, and that he has worthily maintained licT interests aud honor at home and abroad. We hfive before us a pamphlet entitled the official proceedings of the Cincinnati Conven tion printed at the Enquirer office, Cincinnati, and on the 60th page we find the following paragraphs : " B. F. Hullet, from tho Committee on Re solutions, reported the following : RESOLVED, That the Administration of FRAXKLIX I'l FREE has been trite to the great interests of the coun try. In the face of the most determined opposition it has maintained the Laws, enforced economy, fostered progress, and infused integrity and vigor into every department of the government at home. It has signally improved our treaty relutions, extended the field of commercial enterprise, and vindicated the rights of American citizens abroad It has asserted with eminent impartiality the just claims of every section, and has at all times been faith Jul to the Con stitution. H'e therefore proclaim gii~ OUII UX'JUALI FIED APPROBATION OF HIS MEASURES AXI) POLICY:' Whieh resolution, tho pamphlet says, was " adopted with long and rapturous applause, and UNANIMOUSLY"*'. ' te&T tfou. DAVID WILMOT spoke at Lewis burg on'tfle 17th ult., since which time he has addressed meetings at Milton, Bloomsburg, Easton, Danville and other places. The Tri bune of the 27th has a despatch from Allen town, dated the 20th which says :—"The Hon. ANSON BURLIXGAME spoke to-day to the peo ple of Lehigh County at this place. He was met at the ears by two companies of military and an immense concourse of people, who es corted him to the Court-House lawn, where he addressed for an hour and a half 4,000 of the yeomanry of the eouuty. The meeting was unparalleled both in num bers and intensity of enthusiasm. His speech was interrupted by frequent bursts of applause, and closed amid the wildest demonstrations of enthusiastic feeling. This meeting has pro duced a most powerful and decisive effect on the result of the election in Lehigh countv. The meeting was afterwards addressed for an hour and a half by the Hon. DAVID WIL MOT, with great power of argument and most convincing reference to the history of the ag gressive movements of the Slave Power. The tour of these gentlemen is marked by the most gratifying evidence of success. They have hit the very flood tide of the widely changing popular feeling, and are carrying everything in a triumphant march before them." ONLY ONE VOTE' Wc are surprised to meet, now and then, an individual who professes to feel no interest of any kind in the approaching Presidential elec tion ; a stoic in politics, who cares nothing for any man, or any principle involved in the great struggle that is now agitating the people of this country, as they never were agitated be fore ; u man who considers his own vote of no consequence, and who flatters himself that the country will take care of itself, in any event. That man is deluded. It is his DUTY to inte rest himself in the great principles that are now at stake, in this struggle between Free dom and Slavery. It will be his DUTY to vote at the approaching election ; when, if he con sult the honor of his race and of his countrv, he will vote for the REPUBRICAN* candidate,aud will induce others to do likewise. It is folly for anyl>ody to believe that ONE VOTE is of no consequence. It was by ONE VOTE only, that MARCUS MORTON, after failing many years, finally succeeded in obtaining the election as Governor of the State of Massa chusetts. It was by ONE VOTE only, that Tex as was annexed to the Uuited States, and the Mexican War was provoked—whieh sacrificed fifty thousand lives, and saddled the country with a debt of ouc hundred million dollars. OaT* Gen. G. P. LOWRY, of Kansas, was as saulted at Easton, ou the 25th ult., by a Mr. LEF. Several blows were exchanged before the parties were separated. Gen. Lowry had just recovered from an illness, and had barely got about. The attack, which all parties con demn, was occasioned by a political discussion. tkiT Hon. LEWIS C. LEVIN, formerly rcprQ seutative to Congress from the Ist district in this State, has been placed in the Insane Asy luru. AGU Hon. N. P.

THE CLOVEN FOOT—THE KANSAS LAWS OUR hopes of Governor GEARY sre short- We see that in spite of ail his fair pro mises, he is there simply to do the work of the Pro-slavery crusaders. In his inaugural ad dress at Lecorupton, he " deprecates a continu ance of the strife and disorder in the Territory, caused by the illegal and unjustifiable interfe rence of other States, promises justice to all, without party considerations, and expects obtdi edfc to the laics of the Territorial legislature, until tliey are repealed." This is just the turn ing- point of the whole case. Those " laws of the Territorial Legislature,"—infamous, invalid and unconstitutional —are the cause of the whole difficulty. So long as they arc in force, it is utterly impossible to effect their repeal.— They disfranchise, by t&eir test oaths, every ryanwvho wishes and would vote to repeal them. If repealed at all, it must be by Legisla te. That the Legislature is to Jje chosevi irf acfCJrdar.ce with the provisions of these very laws ; and one of their requirements is that no man shall vote, or be eligible to office, trho will not take an oath to sustain them. What a mocke ry is it, therefore, for Governor GEARY to tell the people of Kansas that these laws must be obeyed " until repealed !" So long as these laws are enforced Kansas must remain in the grasp of the Border Ruffians. They were made for the express purpose of subjecting the Territory to the Slave power.— They do it effectually,—recognizing Slavery as already established, and forbidding all freedom of speech and of the press—making it felony to oppose the admission of Slavery—prescrib ing test oaths of the character already men tioned—placing all the executive offices of the Territory in the hands of the Pro-Slavery cru saders—and binding the. settlers hand and foot to the car of Slavery. And Governor GEARY, following in the footsteps of SHANNON and WOODSON, proclaims his purpose to enforce these laws, lie lias already commanded " all bodic3 of armed men to disband or quit the Territory," thus depriving the Free-State men of their means of self-defence and rendering it doubly easy for the Missourians to take pos session of the polls at the October What is to be the result ot this new crusade against Freedom in Kansas remains to be seen. THE UNION STATE TICKET. We find in a speech lately made by F. JOY MORRIS, of Philadelphia, the following remarks concerning the candidates on the Union State Ticket. Mr. M. was a member of the last Le gislature with Messrs. PHELPS and LAPORTF, and competent to speak from personal knowl edge of all the candidates Mr. LAPORTE, a member of the Legislature from Brad ford county, was nominated for Survevr General, from the Republican rank*. His father had'lilled the same of fice with great distinction, under Governor SHCNK, and he himself is a practical Surveyor. He is a gentleman of sound practical ability, and 1 never remember, said Mr? M., to have associated in any public body with a gentle* man for whom I formed a h'gher esteem. A more honor able, pure, upright, frank hearted and open-handed rnsyi than BARTHOLOMEW LA POHTE does not live within the limits of Pennsylvania. He is a high-toned, liberal, trtie man, worthy ol the suffrages of all who can appreciate the sterling qualities of human nature. * * , My particular friend. DARWIN PHELPS, said Mr. M..tlie candidate for Auditor General, is an accomplished law yer. with the bead of a statesman, and tiie incorruptible' temper and nature <tf Cat", the Censor. His conscientious ly scrupulous conduct gaveliim great influence in the.Le gislature, andthqugh members might differ with him in judgment on particular measures, none dared to question hi-honesty of purpose,_or She sincerity ol liis convictions. The era ot reform will, indeed, be inaugurated when such a man is placed at the head of the Auditor's bureau. Mr. P. was selected from the American ranks. Mr. COCHRAN, the candidate for Canal Commissioner, was.well known, front his long experience in tiie Legi>!a ture, where he had won himself a State reputation. Thor oughly cognizant of the system of Public Improvements, no man was better fitted to probe the abuses of their Ad ministration, or to correct the extravagant and wasteful expenditures of which they- had been the fruitful source. Mr. C. was nominated as an Old Line If hip. A stronger ticket, in all respects, never had been placed before Uo-peo ple of Pennsylvania. Its election wvuld not only be a po litical triumph, but a moral one. " The Srranton Jlepubhcanf is tlic title of a new paper, just established in the flourishing town of Scranton by our old friend THEO. SMITH. The mechanical execution is unsurpassed by any of our exchanges, and it displays in the editorial department both tact and ability.— We wish friend SMITH abundant success both politically and pecuniarily. &a!5"~ Hon. JOHN WOOD, Mayor of Quiney, has been nominated as the Republican candi date for Lieut. Governor of Illinois, in place of Mr. HOFFMAN, who was ineligible. A Loud Shriek Against Freedom. The South Side Democrat, publislfM in Pe tersburg, Ya., is one of the consistent papers of the South that goes against freedom in all its shapes, except the freedom to deal in hu man live stock. There is no other freedom that it will tolerate. It says, in a recent num ber : " We have got to hating everyhyig- with the prefix free, from free negroes dovfn'ifnd up through the whole catalogue— frees farms, free labor, free, society, free will, ffee thinking, free children, and free schools—all same brood of damnable isms. yut. the worst of all these abominations is the modern system of free schools. The New-England system of free schools has been the cause and prolific source of the infidelities and treason?! that have turned her cities into Sodoms and Gamorrahs, and her land into the common nestling-places of howling Bedlamites. IVe abominate the sys tem, because the SCHOOLS ARE FREE." • FASSMORE WILLIAMSON VS. JUDGE KANE.— Philadelphia, Thursday, Sept. 25, 185fi.—The suit brought by Passmofc Williamson against Judgp Kane came up for argument yesterday, at Mtjdiij, before -fudge Haiucs.

One of the brakesmen, Sam uel Williams, of Ithaca, was in the act of coupling two cars, when a piece of lumber wit which they were load ed extended some length farther than usual, this struck him on the side of the head, and to avoid it he suddenly stoopej down, and hi* head was caught between the tim ber.- that support the coupling Iron, crushing his forehead to pieces and producing instant death.

LAWRKNCK M. KCITT, of South Carolina, delivered a sjieecli at Lynch burg, Va., at the invitation of the people of that town, on the present political struggle, in which he indulged in a strain of adulation of his own State aud of vituperation of the North, which the united efforts of a Parollcs and u Thcrsites could hardly have equaled. Mr. KKITT is a lover of the Union, after a fashion, and will submit to the Constitution upon con ditions, wnich he named, as follows : " 1 am as much a lover of the Constitution , as any man, but when you ask 111 c to love the j Union, when my constituents ure not equal to! the men who catch codfish—when you ask me j lo love the Union in which the gallant sons of' Virginia, the descendants of AN ASHINGTON, j .1 KFFKKSON, MADISON, MONKOE, and other dis- J tinguished men of the old school—when the j gallant sons of Virginia are not the equals of | the poor, crazy constituencies of CIDDINGS and others of tlrtit stamp, Cod help me, 1 am against j the Union. 1 want 110 grappling at the same ; cards with these fellows w hose hands are greas- J ed with black grease. 1 have been as much a friend • f the Union as any man. lam now ; but 1 never will admit that they are our supe riors. I love the Union to a reasonable ex tent ; I trust none of you love it any more ; but, when I am asked to put my constituents under the foul domination of such a set of black serpents as (JIR-F.EI.K.V, SCMNER, SEWARD, WILSON, CHASE, and C HIDINGS, all I have to sire js, if my constituents .submit, let them." Of course we do not quarrel with Mr. KEITT on a "matter of personal taste, and if the men why Catch niggers are more savory in his nos trils than those who catch codfish it is 110 bu siness of ours. But, when the Honorable gen tleman goes 011 to utter foul slanders upon the men of the Free States, it is another matter. .Mr. KEITT said : " Massachusetts and South Carolina have been sometimes arrayed against each other.— I will run the parallel between the 11, C >l. BIT I. ER, the brother of lion. Mr. BOTHER, the Senator from South Carolina who was so base ly slandered by a foul-mouthed Abolitionist, xvas the leader of the Palmetto regiment in the Mexican war. Cenerul (JCITMAX told me, I when an order came to him for a regiment to | engage in the battle of Chepvllepec, Col. Bi r ; HER, who was sick, went to him and said, " I j demand a right to be in that battle." - r-1 MAN replied, " Vou cannot go, Sir—you arc j sick." '' 1 nm sufficiently well to go," said : lit N.FCK. Qi I I'M AN remarked, " 1 shall see. ; and thereupon a physician was sent tor. lie declared him unfit for active service, and (Jen. QFITMAS insisted that he should not go. " J I ask it then as a favor," said BLTI. EH, " and I demand it. as a right." " Co, then," saidQi iT MAN. He led this Palmetto regiment 011 to the fight. In that battle-field two Free-State regiments ran, while exposed to the fire of the Mexican lines stood this regime at from my own I State, swept by grape, and ouustcr ; that regi ment stood, while each man was writhing in \ the blood of his companions. Exposed in tins fire, that regiment stood, firing not a gun, lev eling not a bayonet While men were falling by scores they stood there. [Loud chcers.j 1 Free-State regiments had broken up and re | treated. Most of the regular army was out up, and there was nothing but disaster in the , perspective." Col. BrTLER fell in the battle of Cliernbus co, long before tlie battle of Chepuitepee was j fought, and, as a matter of course, he could 1 not have been in the latter fight. BuT, Mr. KF.ITT meant the former battle, we presume, ; though all his points are as wide of ■ the truth a.- in that particular. The only Vol , nnteer Regiment in the engagement besides i that of South Carolina was the New-York I Regiment, which certainly did not run. The I statement that " two Free State regiments ran" in that battle is a pure fiction, as is the absurd 1 boast that the South Carolina Regiment was i " swept by grape and canister while each man ! was writhing in the blood of his companions." ! There was not a single charge of either grape , or canister fired by the enemy at that point of ' attack, for a very good reason—they had no 1 artilh •ry. The battle was one of the bloodiest I fought during the war : all the regiments en ! gaged in it acted bravely, and it was the suc- J cess fill charge of General WORTH that gained ; the victory. So far from the South Carolina 1 regiment standing to be shot down without fir j ing a gun or leveling a bayonet, they retreat -led with the New-Vol k Regiment behind the hacienda of Los Portaie, to escape from the fire of the enemy, which they could not return. | Southern demagogues may safely venture to I utter such perversions of history before their | own people, tor the purpose of exciting hostile i feelings against the North, for there is 110 one ' there to correct their falsehoods. Mr. KEITT ; sets out with an assertion that he will draw a j parallel between Massachusetts and South i Carolina, but he has not a syllable about Mas ' sachusetts, and only vaguely tells of the de j fection of two Free-State regiments. Gcue ! ral PIERCE was the favorite candidate of South ; Carolina for the Presidency, and out of res ! pect to him Mr. KKITT ought to have said as j little as possible about the battle of Chepulte ; pec.— Xcir- York Times. BrctTANAN AND FII.IMORE CoAI.ITION. The Washington correspondent of the New-York Courier and Enquirer, says : " It is no longer doubtful that the Iluchan an and Fillmore factions arc intriguing for a coalition in New York. I have no doubt that it will be formed if the parties negotiating can agree upon the terms. It is understood that the managers of the various conferences that have been held 011 the part of Mr. Buchanan, insist upon the electoral vote of the State, and the delegation in Congress, while they offer to ; the K. N. managers all the State offices and the Legislature, thus securing to Mr. Fillmore's partizans the patronage of the Canals and oth er public works, and control of the State Trea sury for the ensuing two years, and the Unit ed States Senntorship for the term following that of Gov. Fish. Such an arrangement would of course nmont i to a total surrender of all claims on the Presi ; dency, because if Buchanan carries New York, ' his election is certain. This, however, would : be no great sacrifice, because no Fillmore man, ( admitted behind the scenes, expects his candi date to receive a single electoral vote—not | one. Every sensible person knows that the j Fillmore flag is kept flying in the South, sole ; ly to deceive his honest supporters in the North, ! and by keeping Fillmore nominally in the can | vass, to prevent a concentration of the oppo i sition to the candidate of the Black Democra cy and Slavery. This precious scheme of De mocratic and K.
