Progress of Mr. Wilmot.
POLITICAL PROSPECTS.—A great conconrse of
people from all parts of the county were in
town last week, drawn here by the sitting of
the courts and the previous announcement that
our candidate for Governor would be present.
Ou Tuesday evening, the campaign was opened
in gallant style by Judge Wilmot in a speech
consuming over two hours, and which created
a perfect furor of enthusiasm among a people
that for years past have regularly instructed
their representatives in Congress to maintain
without flinching and at all hazards the prin
ciples of the "Wilmot Proviso." During the
week we saw and conversed with active influ
ential working men from every township in the
county, and the invariable replies to our qui- !
ries were, "we were, never more harmonious,
never better united, never more confident of suc
cess" and in most instances came also the cheer
ing assurance " Our township will do better
than it did last fall."
We can assure our friends both at home and
abroad that Somerset County will increase her
majority without fail. Energetic work gave
us an increased majority of three hundred from
the October to the November election last
year. The same spirit is now abroad, and we
confidently predict a further increase of three
hundred on the vote of last November. Do
you hear that boys?— Somerset Whig.
JUDGE WILMOT'S SPEECH. —The speech of
Judge Wilmot, delivered in the Court House,
at Uniontown on last Saturday afternoon, was
one of great force and power. It was at once
clear, argumentative and dispassionate, yet full
of earnestness. There was no attempt at rhe
torical flourishes, no vain display of finely
wrought figures to tickle the ear, but a calm
appeal to the judgment of his auditory, in be
half of the great principles of the party whose
candidate he is.
The Conrt House was full to overflowing.—
The Judge commenced by stating that he was
an entire stranger to his audience, with the
exception of some few who were familiar to
him in politics. He come before them not for
the purpose of persuading them to the vote for
him, but to preseut to them his views on the
great leading question before the American
people.— Connellsville Enterprise.
MEETING OF THE PEOPLE. —The meeting at
the Court House on Saturday last, to hear
Hou. David Wilmot was the largest political
meeting we have ever seen in this place, except
county mass meetings called during Conrt
week, when large numbers ot people were in
attendance on other business. There had been
no effort made to rally the people ; they came
of their own accord to hear the champion of
Jeffersouiau Democracy.— Uniontown Stand
ard.
WILMOT IN ALLEGHENY—GRAND DEMONSTRA
TION !—Judge Wilraot addressed the citizens
of Allegheny City last eveuiug, in the Market
House square, there being 110 hall in the place
large enough to hold the immense audience.—
It was a grand outpouring of the people, and
reminded us of the splendid demostrations
made under tbe excitement of last year :
Judge Wilmot was introduced to the meet
ing, and proceeded to address his hearers in
the calm, clear and logical manner for which
he is so distinguished. He was listened to
with profound attention, and was frequently
and heartily applauded.
Judge Wilmot has now fulfilled about a
fourth ot his appointments. He has spoken at
Somerset, Greeusbnrg, Washington, Pittsburg,
Uniontown, Bedford, McConnellsburg, Cham
bersburg, Huntingdon, Hollidaysburg and Al
toona ; and at all these places he has been
greeted most enthusiastically and cheered with
the largest audiences ever convened on similar
occasions in Pennsylvania. Everywhere the
people have been anxious to hear him, and in
every place he has left behind him a lasting
impression for good. No candidate ever had
before a more successful tour. — Pittsburg Ga
zette.
JUDGE WILMOT AT WASHINGTON. —We have
taken occasion heretofore to notice the success
attendant upon the tour of Judge Wdmot
through the western part of the State. We
clip the following notice of his appearance at
Washington, Pennsylvania, and of his speech
delivered at that point, from the special corres
pondence of the Pittsburg Dispatch :
" lion. DAVID WILMOT spoke in the Court
House yesterday afternoon—the Court ad
journing till three o'clock for the purpose.—
The attendance was very large, notwithstand
ing the unpleasantness of the day. The speech
seems to give great satisfaction to Mr. Wil
mot's political friends, and seemed to convince
every one that the speaker was a man of
great earnestness of purposo, and straight-for
wardness of opinion and utterance. He left
for Pittsburg this morning "
WILVOT IN* HUNTINGDON. —The Huntingdon
Journal, in speaking of Judge WIIMOT'S speech
at that place, says :
" Owe of the largest and most enthusiastic
wteetiugs ever held in our borough, convened in
the Court-house, ou Friday evening last, to hear
our able aad eloquent candidate, Judgo WIL
MOT. It was one of the most powerful, elo
queut, and convincing appeals wo have ever
listened to, and aroused the audience to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm.
KANSAS NEWS. —The St. Louis Democrat
publishes aa address to the people of the Unit
ed States, prepared by the Committee appoint
ed by the Grasshopper Falls Convention, in
which A fair history of the troubles of Kan
sas are giveu. Tee present attitude of affairs
in the Territory is temperately discussed.—
The address alleges that the chief intentive
for participation of the Free State men in the
coming Election, is the urgent ap|>eals from
the Free States to do so. The address, says
however, there is is little likelihood of these
appeals being successful. The document con
tains a special clause to the people of Missou
ri, setting forth the relative positions of Kan
sas and Missouri ; imploring the citizens of
the latter to refrain from another invasion,
and saying that if she should continue her
previous course of aggression, persistent, pro
tracted and bloody war must ensue. The ad
dress concludes by exhorting the people of
Kansas to vote at the coming election, in pur
suance of the action of the Couventiou.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —We learn that two Ir
ishmen, working on the Horse Race Dam, a
few miles above this place, on the Susquehan
na, were drowned, on Friday last, auder the
the following circumstance : They, with six
others, were on a car, used to carry stone to
the dam, and while running a load across the
lliver, the track broke and let them into
the water ; six of them made good their escape,
but unfortunately, two were drowened—

THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
We publish in another column, accounts of
Mr. WILMOT'S meetings which shows that the
Republican candidate is everywhere greeted
with tremendous outpourings of the masses,
and is received with much enthusiasm, llis ad
dresses are arousing the people to a sense of
the great issues involved in the pending con
test and inspiring them with zeal ami hopeful
ness. We have also received from Mr. WIL
MOT a letter of late date in which he speaks in
the most satisfactory terms of his meetings,
and of the encouragement held out in the
different parts of the State.
We believe that never had a party a fairer
prospect of success than has the party of Free
dom in this Commonwealth this fail. It needs
but a feeling of confidence, and an exercise of
energy, to make that victory Uertaiu and com
plete. The friends of freedom are thoroughly
united and awakened to the importance of
success in the present contest. Our opponents
are rent by internal jealousies and feuds and
quarrels. The distribution of the spoils has
offended and soured most of the active men in
ail parts of the State, and their exertions will
not be given to the success of Gen. PACKER.
There are two disadvantages under which
we labor, and which stand in the way of our
success, not so much by their own intrinsic im
portance as by the moral influence they exert,
preventing that confidence in victory which is
somewhat of importance in a conflict. We al
lude to the success of the Pro-Slavery party
fall, and to the fact of a third, or American
candidate being presented to draw off votes
from the opposition. Neither of these causes,
should discourage our friends, because there
are considerations and influences which now
render both or either inoperative.
We have alluded to the well-known fact
that great dissatisfaction has been produced
in the ranks of the Sham-Democracy from the
distribution of the offices. There was not a
county in the Commonwealth previous to the
Presidential election that did not contain more
or less in number of active men, who looked
upon the success of Mr BUCHANAN* as certain
to enure to their personal advantage. Each
and every one of these men had a perfect faith
that Mr. BUCHANAN'S first care upon assuming
the Presidency would be to reward them for
their services, and however the others might
be disappointed, they At least would not have
an opportunity to charge the Presideut with
iugratitude. These men worked last fall, with
desperate energy. It is no exaggeration to
say that their almost superhuman exertions
turned the tide of victory toward Wheatland.
They exulted in success, and approached the
the throne, confident of receiving the reward
for the services That most of these have been
bitterly disappointed is patent to all. Mr.
BUCHANAN is revealed to them as a cold heart
ed, selfish, ungrateful man. They have mostly
returned home to brood over their disappoint
ment, and though they arc too thoroughly
wedded to party to breathe their curses aloud,
in secret are desiring the Administration to
be rebuked by the defeat of PACKER. This
class of persons is a numerous one ; it compri
ses many of those who have heretofore con
tributed to the success of the party, and will
exert a powerful influence upon the coming
contest.
The vote polled for Mr. HAZELHCRST, will
be very light, and mainly confined to Philadel
phia city. It is very questionable if it does
not increase the chance of Mr. WII.MOT that
he should remain in the field. The honest,
intelligent portiou of the party have long since
repudiated the " side door'' arrangements of
Messrs. B wow. and SANDERSON, and refuse any
longer to be led and transferred for the benefit
of the Sham-Democracy. That portion of the
party holding Pro-Slavery views, and at heart
desiring the success of PACKER will of course
refuse to support Mr. WILMOT. The only
thing to be feared is that they will not vote
for II AZELUCRST, |but for PACKER. In that
case they might eudanger the election of Mr.
WILMOT, but if they are true to their candi
date, we do not consider their action as at all
detrimental. If our advices are at all reliable,
Mr. WILMOT will come out of Philadelphia with
such a rote as will make his election certain.
It is universally conceded that HAZELHCRST
will not poll any votes of consequence outside
of Philadelphia.
REPUBLICANS, AROUSE 1
But a few short weeks now remain before
the second Tuesday of October. Are the Re
publicans of Bradford preparing for the bat
tle ? Are they making arrangements for poll
ing a full Republican vote ? Your opponents
are pursuing a auiet policy. They evade
everything like display, but they are quietly
preparing to poll every vote possible. Our
Republican friends must commence at once
making their arrangements for bringing out the
votes. That is the work to be done this fall.
We need not spend anytime making proselytes,
but we must get ready to bring e*ery voter
to the polls. Last fall's poll lists, and other
machinery still are available in most of the
towns —the same measures then emp'oved
should be used this fall to get out the voters.
There being no excited canvass to induce peo
ple to attend the election, onr friends in the
different townships must make their arrage
ments for bringing every voter to the polls.—
It is time to commence the work now. Get a
list of the voters —appoint road committees—
and engage teams to haul the voters to the
polls. A very little well-timed and well-ap
plied exertion will give such a majority in
Bradford for DAVID WILMOT and the State
Ticket as will astonish both friends and foes.
5000 MAJORITY.
We have placed as the caption of this arti
cle, the majority expected from Bradford, for
her "favorite son" DAVID WILMOT ! The ma
jority given here on the second Tuesday of
October must be 5000, and nothing less. Re
publicans of Bradford what say you ? Shall
the State Ticket have that majority ? We
can easily give it, if proper exertions are used.
We have the votes, if they can be brought to
the polls. The eyes of our friends throughout
the State arc upou us. They are confidently
looking to Bradford to in' rease the majority
given for FREMONT. Shall they be disappoint
ed ? Shall the opposition have the opportuni
ty of pointing to a light poll and a diminished
majority, as evidence of the want of interest
felt in Bradford for the election of DAVID
W ILMOT ? The Republican party in this Couu
ty has every incentive to active exertion.—
Leaving out of view the advancement of prin
ciple, which alone should be sufficient, there
are other reasons which call upon them for ac
tivity. Our majority should be such that we
can be proud of it, and shall forever silence
the despicable slanderers who are busy defam
ing the character of our candidate and endeav
oring to impeach his private and official reputa
tion.
Mr. ISRAEL SMITH of Dureil, has shown
in a specimen of syrup manufactured from the
Chinese sugar cane, the first we have seen
made in this county. It has the appearance
and taste of that mnkc from sugar cane.—
Quite a quantity of the seed has been plant
ed, the present year, by the way of experi
ment. The season has been unfavorable, yet
we hope to hear from some of our intelligent
farmers, their success in raising the cane, and
also the value of it as forage, &e.
BARN BURNED.—A large barn belonging to
11. W. TRACEY Esq., in Standing Stone town
ship was destroyed by fire one night last week.
It was filled with grain, hay, <fee., all of which
was consumed. The loss is estimated at
$3,000. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by incendiarism.
#S!r The Lebanon Courier says that the
Locofocos of that Borough are divided on the
Gubernatorial question between Hazlehurst
and Packer. The Democracy held a meet
ing there a few days ago, which was address
ed by Hazlehurst. The friends of Packer
arc making efforts to heal the division in their
ranks, but with poor success.
MELANCHOLY. —We learn from the Owego
Times of last week, that Nelson Elsbree, ag
ed 19 years, son of Martin Elsbree, of Wind
ham, Pa., was kicked by a horse on the 31st
ult., and died in a few hours ; and that Mrs.
Charlotte Newell, only daughter of Martin
Elsbree, aged 24 years, died the same evcu
ing
The Wilmot men will hold twenty-five
township meetings in Centre county during
September, to be addressed by Boal, McAllis
tar, Curtiu, aud others. That's the way to do
things.

LAYING LOW !
The Border Ruffian, dead rabbit Pro-Slavery
Democracy of this Couuty, are remarkably
quiet just uow. They waited in vain for trou
ble in the Republican ranks, on account of the
nominations. Finding everything harmonious,
they are debating the propriety of making any
opposition to the Republican County Ticket.
There are plenty of men in their ranks hanker
ing after office, but none very anxious for the
honor of being beaten by four or five thousand
majority.
The probability is, that the Republican
County Ticket will not have any competitors.
The game is to "lay low"—keep qniet—avoid
everything calculated to excite public atten
tion—in hopes that the Republicans can be
kept away from the polls. We caution our
friends not to be deceived by this apparent
apathy on the part of the Bogus-Democracy. —
Every available vote will be cast for PACKKR.
Our County Ticket, of course, is beyond danger,
bat every vote cast for the State Ticket tells.
There will not be a vote left unpolled, which
can be procured for PACKER. Will our friends
be less active aud energetic ? We trust not.
SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT CANTOS. —One of
the most tragic and melancholy affairs we have
ever been called upon to record took place at
Canton village on Friday last, resulting in the
death of M. 11. GREENMAN, a member of the
bar of this County, and ANDREW E. SPALDING,
proprietor of the Canton Hotel. Mr. GREEN
MAN, who was probably suffering undef mental
depression, caused by intemperance, entered
the barber shop of the hotel, aud while alone,
seated himself in the barber's chair, and with
a razor nearly separated his head from his
body, severing the windpipe and jugular
veins. The noise made by him alarmed those
in the bar-room, who upon entering the bar
ber-shop discovered him still seated in the
chair,his body and the floor deluged with blood
He was gasping his last, and immediately ex
pired. Mr. GREENMAN was a young man, of
good talents, and but for indulgence in spirit
ous drinks, might have lived to be a useful
and respected member of society. He leaves
a wife and one child to mourn his untimely
and melancholy death.
Mr. SPALDING had been for some years a
sufferer from disease of the heart. When Mr.
GREENMAN was discovered, he started for the
door, to call in assistance, and dropped down
dead upon the floor. The excitement caused by
the shocking tragedy he had witnessed, operat
ed so powerfully upon his diseased system, as
to stop the machinery of life, the heart ceased
its pulsations, and in an instant the vital spark
had flown, leaving nothing bnt the inanimate
clay. This shocking tragedy, removing in so
short a space, two well-known citizens, caused
a great excitement in the village of Canton,
and spread a universal gloom. It teaches us
a double lesson : warning us of the dangers of
intemperance, and the instability of human
life
t&~ Mr. HAZLEHURST, by appointment was
expected to address a meeting in this place, on
Tuesday evening last, lie has however, fail

WHAT THE NORTH MAT EXPECT.
MB. EDITOR :—The following extract from
the Jackson Mississijrpian, I fiud copied into
many Southern Journals with warm and hear
ty approval. It shows what the North may
expect of the Buchanan administration in the
event of Kansas applying for admission iuto
the Union as a Slave State. It also shows
how Walker was bullied so suddenly into the
fire-eating measures of the South, and obe
dience to the " instructions of the administra
tion."
" the people of the eonntry he not deceived. While
Walker i* making sham demonstrations of disapproval of
the past and even pre-ent conduct <>C the free State out
laws in Kansas, and while he is compelled to vindicate
the existing Territorial authorities in force there, he is so
managing as to commend himself to the sympathy of the
outlaws, and is industriously striving to place the Democ
racy or Pro-Slavery party under their dominion. But we
have information of the moit reliable character, from Kan
sas, that this game is well understood by the party he is
endeavoring to dupe. So far from placing confidence in
him, or approving his policy, they know him to be faith
less and unprincipled, and they intend to trample be
neath their feet, with utter loathing and scorn, his inso
lent edicts. The September constitution, if submitted to
the people, will be referred, as it ought to be, to the legal
voter* of the Territory ; and when Kansas applies, with
a constitution so framed and republican in its character,
the administration, though it has timidly acquiesced in
(lov. Walker's violation of its instructions, dare not remit
her application. F.ven its hireling placemen will be mute
when that occasion arises, and the Black Republicans will
be left once more to fight their own battles.''
Who will say that the administration dare
exert its influence in the least against the ad
mission of Kansas as a Slave State ? Or who
will say that like Gov. Walker it may be bul
ied into auything the South may desire ?

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM CAMPHENE.—Anoth
er terrible accident from camphene took place
Saturday afternoon, in Thomaß S. Butler's
blacking manufactory, No. 39 Vine street, by
which a boy lost his life, and another was so
badly burned as to be still in a critical condi
tion. Two lads, brothers, named Patrick and
Edward Smith, aged respectively fourteen and
sixteen, were very carelessly pouring camphene
into a lighted lamp, when the fluid ignited,
and the can containing it exploded. The
clothes of the boys were set on fire, and the
younger ran from the secoud story of the
building, where the accident occurred, down
stairs, and took refuge in a stairway, before
his burning garments were quenched ; but
the other brother stood still, and some of the
workmen came np and extinguished the flames
in which he was euveloped. The building, in
which there was considerable combustible
material, also took fire ; but the prompt ar
rival and action of the engines prevented the
spread of the flames or any serious damage to
the premises. The unfortunate boys were
taken to the Commercial Hospital, where
Patrick, the younger, having inhaled the
flames, died early yesterday morning. The
other lice in a crittical state, bnt it is thought
his life can yet be saved.— Cineinttli Gvxt'U.
