This is tlie last opportunity wesliall have to urge upon our Republican friends the duty and necessity of Rallying at the polls on Tuesday next. We trust they p.re already fully pre pared to discharge their duty—that the di latory have already been visited, ,aud the h k •- warm ami indifferent aroused to a sense of im portance of the present contest. But in times i ke the present, just after a campaign has pass ed, conducted with much feeling for months, there is great danger from apathy and indiffer ence. Not that the voters have less interest in the sm cess of correct principles, but they are exhausted by the excitement of the j ast, and are prone to run into the other extreme. In this County, the hope of the Democracy is that the Republican vote will not be polled. They have not made a County ticket, nor held a single meeting,to avoid arousing any political feeling, and directing attention to the pending election. They expect by these quiet mea sures. that a large number of our voters can be kept from the polls. The poiiey is a good one, and calculated admirably to help them, without extraordinary exertions on the other side. The same course is pursued by our friends in some of the heavy democratic coun ties, where the voters do not care about the election unless they think Geu. Jackson is in danger of being beaten. We polled for FREMONT last fall, 0,969 votes, being a majority of 4.6 )5 over BUCHANAN.— This brilliant result was achieved by sys tematic and persevering exertion. Ordinarily we could not reach that vote again by 1000, at least. But the Republican voters arc not less anxious for the election of Mr. WII.MOT than they were last fall for the success of FRE MONT. There is unquestionably a deeper feeling now than then, as Mr. WII.MOT is of this County and personally known to most of its voters.— It is easier to give him 5000 than it was Fre mont 4,655. It requires but a quarter of the exertion then made to accomplish this. But it cannot be done by supineuess and idleness.— Each man must take hold of the work with a determination that his duty shall lie done.— Each man must work, as if his labors were to furnish the last few votes in that tremeudous majority. There is everything to inspire the friend of Freedom in this contest. Our success will bring more of glory, more of substantial bene fit to the cause of human rights, than any bat tie in which we ever before engaged. Victo ry perched upon our banner now, and tlie on ward tide of IS la very-propagandist! is staved in its progress, and rolled back upon the an tocrats of the South. A brilliant future opens upon the Republican party with the success of Mr. \\ H.MOT The friends of humanity will re joice every where. Pennsylvania once in Jiue, and Freedom's battle is won. When the Keystone takes her true position, wc shall have a united North,and the sceptre of slaverv is broken. To bring about this glorious result is a task worthy of our best endeavors. Republican reader ! your vote on Tuesday next, may decide the result. The vote of your careless neighbor, whom you might urge to the election, may produce the most important consequences. How chagrined and mortified would you feel if your carelessness should prove the defeat of the Republican cause.— Arouse ! then to the performance of your du ty. Labor until the polls close, and then be content to leave the result with the God of Battles. fcaT To the list of discredited banks is now to be added, the Hudson River Bank, and the Farmer's Bank, at Hudson, Stark Bank of A'ermont ; the Saratoga Bank, Mass. ; City Bank of Bridgeport, Conn. Rally ! Freemen to the Polls! This is the last occasion we shall l ave to urge upon the Freemoti of Bradford Count)' ■ the importance of the present contest, and the sty lor united aud vigorous action. On | Tuesday next, is to be decided questions of ■ great moment to the prosperity and perpetuity .of our country. It is every man's duty to BE AT TIIE POLLS ! | Rair. or shine, snow or sleet. We say again, ! Be at thf. P01.1.S ! and be there before they are opened. When the polls are opened, vote ' yourself and see that every Republican in the ♦ township is there. Be at the Polls all day, and if there is a voter absent, start out after him. I)o everything that is honorable, aud leave no exertion undone to GET OUT THE VOTERS ! It is needless to say, that the Buchaniers will do so. They have been supplied with mo ney to get every voter, and they will leave no efforts untried to poll all their votes. The Freemen of Bradford must give ONE I)AV TO THEIR COUNTRY ! or the efforts of the organized pro-slavery dis uuionists will prove successful. If the free la boring men of the country, will be vigilant and ' industrious, all will be well. ; DON'T NEGLECT THE STAT&JPTCIvET! ■ See that every man votes for' the whole State Ticket. It is composed of men every way entitled to your confidence aud your sup port. RALLY! FREEMEN! RALLY! Your country calls upon you to devote one day to her interests. Are you anxious to at test your detestation of the Administration— your unqualified disapprobation of its mea sures and policy ? Are you anxious to rebuke the monstrous infraction of National faith com mitted into the Repeal of the Missouri Com promise '{ Are you anxious to express your deep abhorrence of the plan to force slavery into Kansas, and your indignation at the out rages committed upon your neighbors and friends by the border-ruffians of Missouri, aid- I ed by the United States authorities, with the j approbation of the sham Democracy? RALLY TO THE POLLS ! Do you believe thut capital should hire its ! labor, not own it—that Free Society is not a | failure—nor made up of " greasy mechanics, j filthy operatives, and small fisted farmers," — do you believe that labor is honorable, not de grading—do you love Freedom not Slavery, and desire for your children an opportunity to emigrate to the West without encountering the degrading presence of negro bondage. RALLY TO THE POLLS ! An attempt is now making by means of the name of Democracy to subvert our free insti tutions—to deride the teachings of our fore fathers—to put new aud dangerous construc tions upon the Constitution—by moans of which Slavery may be introduced upon every foot of the soil of this Republic. The Slave power usurps and controls every brauch of the ! government, and pervades and domineers over ! every department, proscribing and outlawing ! those who hold to the opinions of Jefferson and the fathers of the Republic. Mob law and violence prevent the Free expression of sentiments in one portion of the country, ; with the approbation of the slave-driving ad juncts north. Would you mark with your dis approbation this state of things. RALLY TO TIIE ROLLS ! Rally ! all those who would bring back the government to the designs aud purposes of its founders—all who would carefully comply with every requirement and compromise of the Con stitution—all who desire to see the government administered upon liberal aud natioual princi ples, and in such a manner as *o PRESERVE BOTH LI BERTY AND THE UNION ! Rally, on Tuesday next, to aid in swelling the glorious victory which awaits us. Rally, for the glorious cause of Freedom, Free Speech, Free Men. ONE VOTE ! Remember one vote lias decided mighty events in the political history of the world.— One vote has decided the fate of Kings, made Governors, Congressmen, and Senators. Then fail not every freeman, to go to the polls and cast a vote for the true Republican candidates whose names are found at our head. I)o not falter or stay at home because you may think there is or will be enough without you. If all were to make such excuses for themselves, of course we should fail electing any one, or leave the matter in the hands of those who might for unworthy motives, attend and control your sentiments. TURN OUT EARLY, and vote and work till the battle is fairly fought and victory gloriously won, and like worthy unbought freemen proudly boast and wear it. GET OUT THE VOTERS ! We urge upon our friends iu the strong Re publican towns, the importance of having ar rangements made to get out every voter. Have your teams in readiness, and bring every vo ter in the township to the polls. Your oppo nents will not lose an available vote. They will be furnished with fuuds from the custom houses and post offices, to get out their votes and the Freemen of the county must counter balance their money and efforts by personal exertions. FOLD YOUR TICKETS Much valuable time might be saved and many more votes secured by having the tickets on the ground before the polls are open, ready cut and folded, and tied iu sets— eleven rotes in each set. See that each voter who desires it, has a full set and votes it too. -^"'.'l/ TO THE POLLS! ! REPUBLICANS ! ARE YOU ALL READY ! Great Battle comes off on next Tuesday! Are your Arrangements all made for getting out EVERY VOTERP If not, Lose no more Time, but work to have a Full Poll, and a majority of 5,000! LOOK TO YOUR TICKET. We again urge upon our Republican friends the importance of attending to the WHOLE TICKET. See that voters are supplied with a full set of votes. Don't permit any trading or bartering. It is as important for the suc cess of our principles that the candidate for the lowest office should succeed, as the highest. Republicans ! you have organized for the advancement of principle. In furthering that object you have presented a Ticket. Every member upon it, is entitled to your support. — Don't swerve a hair's breadth, but consider the ends you would accomplish, and the means necessary for their advancement. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Republican meetings are held, during the present week, at the following places : At Orcutt's Creek, on Mouday evening, sth. At Litchfield, on Tuesday afternoon, 6th. At I>owen Hollow School House, in War ren, Wednesday afternoon, 7th. At Jlerrickville, on Thursday afternoon,Bth. At Washburn's Hotel, in Ulster, 011 Satur day evening, 10th. At Sugar Run, 011 Monday evening, 12th. At these meetings, Messrs. Menem, G. D. Montanye, Mop.kow, Lacokte, Kinney, and others will speak. The Republicans of the County are wide awake and determined to give a good account of Bradford on Tuesday next. COUNTY FAIR We are gratified to learu thut the prospects for the Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Brad ford County Agricultural Society, at this place, 011 the 15th and 16th inst., are unusually fa vorable. Judging from the indications, the display will largely exceed that of any pre vious year. The season has been a very pro dnctive and fruitful one, and we shall doubt less have au opportunity of seeing what mo ther Earth can produce, when properly cared for. The Stoek Department will embrace as usual, a large variety of breeds ami oualitics, displaying the progress made iu the County from year to year. Several items of attraction are this year ad ded to the usual interest of the occasion.— Amongst others, DITTIUOH'S Towanda Brass Band has been engaged. The pleasure of hearing the music they will perform, is well worth the price of membership. On the evening of the first day, there will be a grand Firemens' display, by the Towanda Fire Department, with a torch-light procession. We are glad to know that there is an in creasing disposition to encourage this annual exhibition of the prosperity of our County. It forms a sort of re-uuion for our Farmers and others, where they may see specimens of the skill of others in husbandry and learn and ex amine the modes by which the productions of the soil is increased, breed of cattle improved, or a better variety secured. We trust that every farmer who has anything to show, will bring it to tlie Fair, prepared also to commu nicate something taught by bis observation and experience which shall prove a common benefit. If he who " makes a spear of grass to grow where none grew before " is a public benefactor, then he is doubly so, who learns his neighbor the secret of his success, and thus contributes two-fold to the general productive ness. Our farmers should by all means in their power encourage and sustain the Agri cultural Society. They should not be animat ed by a sordid desire for gain in procuring pre miums but by a liberal disposition to contri bute something towards elevating agricultural pursuits, and benefitting their fellow-men. ENCOURAGING SIGNS. —TIie elections in Ver mont and Maine, this year, show that Locofo coism is effectually crushed out in those States. They remain firm in the faith of true Republicanism, and again lead the hosts of freedom, as in 1856, to the renewed struggle with their enemies. They send us the same encouragement as then ; and they give us conclusive evidence of the fact that the party of Freedom is as strong to-day, as ever, in the affections of the people. Their example calls aloud to us iu Pennsylvania—" Go thou and do likewise," and carry the State for WII.MOT, MILWARD, VEECH, and LEWIS in October. aSfThc financial pressure in the Commer cial marts seems unabated. It is said by those who understand the signs, that rays of light are breaking upon the gloom. The old estab lished Ranking House of E. W. Clark, Dodge & Co., of New York, suspeuded last week, as did also the Boston branch of the same house. The Philadelphia branch stands firm. • (Reported for the Reporter.) TEACHERS' INSTITUTE AT EAST SMITHFIELD The Teachers' Institute at East SinithfieM was duly organized OH the 2 1st ult., by elect- 1 iug the proper officers, and Prof. COBURX as principal Teacher. There were about sixty ! teachers preset t at the commencement, and | the number continued to increase during the week. At the commencement of the second j week, ninety names were registered, and this members with but few exceptions, continued j in attendance until the close. It was the general remark among those present, that no ' ten days were ever s|>eiit more profitably, than were those spent in attendance at this Insti- j tute. Much valuable instruction was communh at ed by lectures, iu the art of teaching, and the duties and responsibilities of teachers ; and the members were thoroughly drilled by the Principal and competent assistants, upon those branches required by law to be taught iu our Common Schools. The exercises were interspersed throughout with music from the choir, and occasional ex ercises in Calisthenics. During the evening sessions, various subjects relating to school government, were introduced and discussed On Wednesday, the 30th, a lecture was de livered by the Superintendent of Chemung County, iu which he enumerated the various essentials of a Good School. The afternoon was mostly devoted to social enjoyment. The members of the Institute and the citizens in attendance, under the direction of "Sergeant" BUI.LOCK and " Corporal" FARXSWOUTIT were marched, with martial music and colors flying, to Bullock's grove, and while performing certain military evolutions, a show er suddenly dispersed them and they retreated in confusion to the grove, where they devoted themselves to singing and swinging aud fun. The last day of the session was occupied in the examination of Teachers by the Superin tendent. During the evening session the vale dictory was read, and a copy of Goodrich's Universal History was formally presented to Prof. Coburn, iu behalf of the members of the Institute, as a testimonial of their appreciation of 11is services. It is to be most earnestly hoped and we think, it may be confidently expected, that the effect of this Institute will be widely felt in the elevation of the system of the Common School education, in increasing the teacher's estimate of their own profession, in leading to higher views of their relations and responsi bilities, and to far better methods of commu nicating instruction and discharging their va rious duties. Said the Superintendent of Che mung, " I never knew a person to remain a poor teacher who was iu the habit of attend ing Teachers' Institutes." May this this say ing not be proved a false one, by the effect that shall follow the Teachers' Institute in Smithfield. The effect upon the popular mind cannot oe better expressed than to state two i-iiuple facts, namely—l. Hud the question of the County Superiutendeucy been brought be fore the people of this vicinity one year ago, for their approval or rejection, it would have been voted down unanimously, as an onerous burden, for which no equivalent was realized, aud which, instead of being regarded as a bene fit, was lftoked upon as operating altogether unfavorably to the cause of Common School education. 2. Ou Thursday evening, Oct. Ist, the fol lowing resolutions were passed by the citizens of Smithfield, without one dissenting voice : WHF.REAS, popular education is essential to the preservation of Republican institutions, and intimately connected with the good order and prosperity of human society, as well as the interests of true religion, and is to be pro moted by the co-operation of all good citizens iu such lawful and proper measures as may be adopted. Therefore Resolved, That we approve of Teachers' Institutes, as highly calculated to promote the cause of common schools and to diffuse the light of science. They bring teachers and people together for instruction and conference on matters pertaining to the business of teach ing, anil in this way they are advantageous to this cause, as much as other associations are beneficial to the objects for which they are held , they bring teachers together to become acquainted with each other, and thus afford many social advantages ; and they serve the important purpose of awakening the public mind on a subject on which there is yet a la mentable amount of indifference. Resolved, That the County Superiutendency is doing a good work for common schools, anil is deserving of that encouragement which, if granted to it, will make it more and more ef ficient for good. Resolved, That we tender our thanks to Mr. CHARLES R. COBCRN, our County Superinten dent, for his faithful labors in the Teachers' Institute, during the ten days in which it has been held iu this place ; that we regard him as eminently qualified for the station he occu pies ; and that we invite him to hold another Institute among us as soon as he may think it consistent so to do. The Old Hunkers had a grand convo cation of post-masters, leaders, &c., in this place, on Monday last, the* object of which was undoubtedly to devise means for polling all their votes on Tuesday next. Our friends must uot expect that a single Packer vote will be lost. The intention is to poll the full rote, so quietly as not to wake up or alarm the Re publicans. They hope by this means to crow over a decreased majority in Bradford. Shall they have the opportunity ? That depends, Republicans, upon the WORK you are do ing. If you stand, \Vith your arms folded, contented with the declaration " that we should poll all our votes," we shall be laughed at af ter electiuu *Jf you are at work, uud work till the polls close, to urge out every careless -aud dilatory voter we shall give i) 000 majori ty, and preserve our reputation for activity and fidelity.
