VOTES! 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.

the infamous conduct of PIERCE, aud that if
he had been re-nominated they would not have

The democratic parly if thoroughly identified

paragraphs :
" B. F. Hullet, from tho Committee on Re

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

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

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.

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.

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."

OU the lOtlitnst. Hon. 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.

" Massachusetts and South Carolina have
been sometimes arrayed against each other.—

| 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. N. fit-ion in New-York, will
tend to open the eyes of the American Clubs
in both New-York and Pennsylvania, and to
make them vote ure for Frciuont lv immense
majorities.
