Votes! Votes!
The delay in nominating a candidate for
Senator, prevented the printing of votes, as
soon as was desirable. They are now ready,
and vvc trust that our friends in the several
election districts w ill see that they have a prop
er supply. They may be procured either at
the Reporter office, or at the Argus office.
Republicans of Bradford County.
This being the last issue of the Reporter
previous to the election, we take the occasion
earnestly to press upon your attention the im
portance of the present election, aud the ne
cessity for activity during the short time that
iutervenes. As yet the strife of the contest
lias not been heard in this County. There have
been uo notes of preparation, uo marshalling
of forces, nor exhortations to awaken their en
thusiasm aud zeal. There has not bceu apart,
from the nominating Conventions, a single po
litical gathering in the County. All this si
lence aud apathy bodes no good to the Repub
lican Party, as its tcudeuey is to depreciate
our vote and lesseu our majority.
As a light vote, which is inevitable without
exertion, reduced our majority proportionality,
and thus affects the State Ticket, we are cou
straiued to ad dressy on, to urge upon you the ne
cessity of activity for the few remaining days
which remain for action, in the work of secur
ing a full poll of Republican votes in each
election district.
Parties are already marshalling for the Pros
idential contest before us, wheu a decisive and
it may be a final battle, will be fought between
Freedom and Slavery for the mastery in this
Government. The position and strength of the
respective parties are closely scanned—every
note of preparation, aud every indication of
public feeliug, watched with an anxiety, com
mensurate with the mighty interests involved
iu the struggle. The next Presidential election
will in truth be decided in advance, by the
moral and political forces displayed iu the
movements aud elections, that precede the di
rect vote. Pennsylvania is now to indicate her
position iu the great conflict of 1860. She is
soon to pronounce to the country the judgment
of her people, either in support or iu reproba
tion of the usurpations and outrages against
liberty and law, of the Slave Oligarchy, now
firmly entrenched iu all the high places of in
fluence and power.
Republicans of Bradford ! will you falter
In such au hour ? You occupy a proud posi
tion iu the ranks of the army of Freedom.—
Tho first thunder of the battle, was heard up
on your hills, and in your valleys. You have
hitherto borne yourselves with aconstuncy and
firmness, that commands the admiration of the
Country. M lieu the history of these times
shall be written, your early and noble efforts
in the cause of Freedom, shall fill one of its
brightest pages. Let it not he recorded thai
jou faltered in the hour of greatest need
that in the very crisis of the battle, you march
ed to the field with weakened forces and im
paired strength.
The party of Slavery,that installed the pres
ent administration in power, is now broken and
divided throughout the North. The attempt
to force upou Kansas the Leeomptou Ci usti
tutiou. provoked a formidable and determined
opposition in the ranks of the Administration
party. The auti-Lecomptou division of the
democracy is exhibiting great force iu the
strong holds of the party, iu the south-eastern
part of the State. The Slave Power and its
administration at Washington, are greatly
alarmed, least Pennsylvania should desert the
black standard of Slavery—thus taking the
scepter of Power from the bauds of the Slave
holding Oligarchy, and placing it where it
rightfully belongs, iu the hands of the free
millions of the North and South. A defeat
now in Pennsylvania will come with crushing
and overwhelming effect, aud bury the lust
hope of perpctuutiug for another Presidential
term, the power and ascendency of a few buu
dred thousand Slave-holders.
Republicans of Bradford ! youccar r as we
firmly believe, give a signal victory to the Ban
ner of Freedom. We earnestly appeal to yon
to rally at the Polls in your full strength.—
We must rely for our success upon the patri
otism of the people. The Slave Power holds
the vast public treasure in its keeping, and by
a wasteful and corrupt use of the monies of
the Nation, seeks to perpetuate its control of
the Government. The expenditure of this
Administration has reached the enormous sum
of near Our Jltriuhrd Millions of dollars an
nually. It has increased three and four fold
within the last few years, and siuce the policy
of slavery extension was systematically enter
ed upou.
The year in which the Missouri Cempromise
was repealed, the expenditures were increased
about nineteen millions over that of any form
er years of peace, and the year, when the Ad
ministration, by corrupt influences, sought to
carry through Congress the Leeomptou Con
stitution, the expenditures were again swelled
near twenty millions above that of any pre
ceding year. This enormous and corrupt ex
penditure is the natural fruit of the wicked
and tyranical policy of Slavery. The men of
the North will not work in the business of
slave propagandism, and to place this Govern
ment permanently iu the hands of the Slave
Oligarchy, without pay. Members of Con
gross must be seduced by bigb appointments.
The press at:d leaders out of Congress, must
be paid largely by office and government eon
tracts, or they will not embark in the work of
debauching and demoralizing the public opin
iou of the North. The Administration has a
vast army of paid retainers that move at the
word to do its bidding—here in this remote
county, it has a hundred paid men, in the post
1 masters, most of whom have been appointed
' because of their subserviency and willingness
I to work iu the cause of Slavery.
Our opponents in this County, feeble though
they be, have already organized for the cam
paign of ISCO. They have placed iu nomina
tion a County Ticket, and will poll for it every
vote they can reach by persuasion or other
wise. Their example should not be lost upon
the active men of the Republican Party. They
should devote the remaining time to effort to
increase the Republican majority. By so
doing, they render the work more easy next
fall. '
The Senatorial Nomination.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately,) we have
poor success in pleasing our friends of the
Black Democracy. They have away of be
ing dissatisfied with our candidates, which is
distressing. We would willingly arrange our
nominations to please them, but they won't be
pleased. They object to Mr. LANDON, as
Senator, very earnestly. They are opposed to
making candidates of preachers—forgetting
that they have already elected Rev. JERE
SHIXDEI. to the Seriate, and should he willing
to allow us au equal privilege. If Democratic
preachers are not too good to be elected Sena
tors, will they admit that Republican preachers
are ? We cannot allow them to have a mo
nopoly of the piety of the Senate, and we
will back Mr. LANDON at any time against
SHIN DEL for religious zeal, talent or practical
ability.
The truth is, our expectant opponents have
been sadly disappointed. They had made
themselves believe that the Republicans of
this District were about to throw away the
Senator. They find, instead of that, that the
Conference could not afford to hazard even the
success of the party, bnt have selected a can
didate better calculated than any other to heal
all divisions, allay all feeling, and consolidate
the Republican vote of the District. It's
natural they should not be pleased with the
arrangement, but we suppose they will have
to submit.
Remember 1860!
Every Republican who is not already im
pressed with the importance of the result on
Tuesday next, should remember that the Pres
idential contest is near at hand. A large ma
jority iu Pennsylvania this fall, and Pennsyl
vania is no longer debatable ground. The
Black Democracy will give up all hope of carry
ing the State in 1860 aud
THE BATTLE IS HALF GAIN ED !
Arouse ! then, ye apathetic Republicans !
If you would see the cause of Freedom tri
umph in 1800, poll every vote you cau for the
State Ticket now. It matters not that the
candidates of the Republican party are cer
tain to be elected, Pennsylvania should speak
in such decided tones that her position in the
column of Free States cannot be questioned.
One vote iu every election district, will make
a material diffeience in our majority. See that
that one vote is polled, and with it the votes
of all your neighbors who need urging to turn
out to election.
THE POSTAI. APPROPRIATION BILL. — In his
Augusta speech, in speaking of the Postal Ap
propriation bill, Senator Toombs of Georgia
said : " I stood with its fate in my hand, aud
I stamped it under my feet." This is a volun
tary assumption of all responsibility for the de
feat of that bill. We have pointed out the
fact that it was so, on several occasious ; but
the democratic press, has vomited forth column
after column to show that the act was not at
tributable to Senator Toombs but was the act
of the Republicans of the House. What will
they say now, when the Senator himself shoul
ders Ihe responsibility aud crams the falsehood
down their throats'{
Our County Ticket.
The large majority usually cast for the Re
publican nominees, and the certnintj of their
election, under ordinary circumstances, makes
it unnecessary to occupy much space with our
County Ticket. We have not, heretotore,inade
special mention of our nominees, but we can
not permit the canvass to pass without bearing
testimouy to the discretion used in electing the
gentlemau placed in nomination. The County
Convention had placed before it the names of
many good sound Republicans, whose nomina
tion would have reflected credit upon the l'ar
ty ; but all conld not be promoted, even when
worthy.
For Representatives, THOMAS SMEAP
and O. 11. PERRY KINNEY, were nomina
ted by acclamation. These gentlemen repre
sented Bradford iu the House, last session and
the unanimous and cordial manner with which
they were re-nominated, is the highest compli
ment which could be paid them. The eudorse
ment of their constituency in this manner, is
the strongest proof which could be offered,
that they have been able and efficient mem
bers. Bradford has lost none of her influence
and power in the Legislature by electing
Messrs. SMEAR and KIXXEY. They will go
back the coming session, backed by an endorse
ment and a majority which will give them a
still higher and more influential position.
GUY' 11. WATKINS, of Towauda, the
nominee for District Attorney, has already
earned a high reputation at the bar, for legal
attainments and industry. lie will discharge
the responsible duties of the office with credit
to himself and welfare to the interests of the
community.
For County Treasurer, WILLI AM CRIF
FIS of Standing Stone, was tiie choice of the
Convention, and it is no disparagement to those
gentlemen desiring the nomination to say it
was worthily bestowed. lie is one of the
most zealous soldiers iu the Republican ranks,
and has done much to swell its majorities.—
His business habits and integrity guarantee the
safe keeping and proper disbursement of the
County monies.
WILLIAM A. THOMAS, of Troy twp,
received the nomination for County Commis
sioner, on the first ballot, a somewhat unusual
circumstance for au office so much sought af
ter. There is no more important office for the
tax-payers of the County, than this. That he
is abundantly qualified for the post, is shown
by the favor with which he was regarded by
the Convention. From our knowledge of him,
we can cheerfully and certainly say, that iu
discharging the duties of the office, he will
bring habits of economy, good business quali
fications, a correct judgment, and an unyield
ing disposition to guard the interests of the
taxpayers.
The nomination of County Surveyor was be
stowed upon JAMES J. NEWELL, of Or
well, who has the reputation of beiug a con
sistent and faithful Republican, and admirably
qualified to perform the duties of the office for
which he has becu named, being possessed, by
education and experience, of the particular
knowledge necessary to give public satisfaction
as a Surveyor.
The office of Auditor is one of great impor
tance to the tax-pnvers of the County. If its
duties are performed in a careless manner,
many abuses might creep in, where there is an
annual expenditure of so many thousands of
dollars The person selected for Auditor should
be possessed ot integrity, decision and judg
ment, and be familiar with the details of our
County business. All these necessary qualifi
cations arc combined in JEREMIAH TRA
VIS, Jr., of Burlington, to whom the nomi
nation has been given Mr. T. is a man of
good abilities and education, and well fitted
for the satisfactory discharge of the duty of
auditing the accouuts of our County.
BS?" The organ of the Black Democracy is
intimating pretty strongly that Senator SCIIEI.I.
of the Bedford district, recently visited this
County for the purpose of receiving his pay
for voting "to transfer the public works to the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and also voting
against our people having a fair law for asses
sing damages last winter." As Senator SCIIEI.I.
is a Democrat of the blackest kind we have
no disposition nor authority for denying the
charge. On the contrary knowing tbe party
of the Senator we should rather be inclined
to believe the charge. The sale to the Sun
bury and Erie was made by a Democratic Leg
islature and a Democratic Governor, aud we
have always observed, if anybody was to be
bought, the Democrats were the easiest and
cheapest to purchase. Let the responsibility
of the sale, aud the stigma of corruption rest
where it justly belongs, aud where the Buchau
an organ places it, upon the leaders of the
Black Democracy—Senator SCHELI., ctidomni
genus.
The letter which we published last week
from Mr. KINNEY, was well-timed aud appro
priate. It shows the falsity aud hypocrisy of
those who are endeavoring to make political
capital out of the question of Canal Damages
Mr. JACKSON, the member from Sullivan coun
ty, has been very properly lauded for his course,
by those who are making themselves most of
ficious, while the same consistent gentlemen
attempt to discredit Messrs. SMEAD aud KIN
NEY. The honesty of this is shown by the un
deniable fact that Messrs. JACKSON, KINNEY
and SMEAD, acted throughout in concert, ex
cepting in an immaterial poiut where Mr.
SMEAD differed from the other two—and as it
proved, correctly. Now, this praise of Mr.
JACKSON, is undeserved and dishonest, or else
Messrs. SMEAD and KINNEY are entitled to the
same meed of credit. Which horn of the di
lemma will the noisy ones take ?
One Vote.
Remember oue vote has 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 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 con
trol your sentiments.
TURN OUT EARLY
and vote and work till the battle is fairly
fought and the victory gloriously won, and like
worthy uubought, freemen proudly boast and
wear it.
Are the Voters Ready?
But a few days now intervene before the
October election? Are the voters of this
County aware os the great importance of suc
cess on the second Tuesday in October? We
urge upon our friends thus early to make pre
parations for a FULL VOTE. In the strong
Republican towns of the County, there is great
danger that the votes will not all lie out. Let
arrangements be made to poll every vote.—
Y our opponents w ill not lose an availblc vote.
We must be equally active and vigilant and
a certain triumph awaits us, not only iu the
County, but in the State.
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 in sets— nine vales in
each set. See that each voter who desires it,has
a full set, and votes it too.

mously adopted by the members :
IV IIKRKAS, It is obvious to all candid observers that the
use of outline maps i calculated materially to simplify
the study of Geography in the common schools, and to
stimulate the pupil- to greater exertion in the acquire
ment of this jjseful branch of education, we therefore re
solve that we use our influence so far as wc can consistent
ly to introduce them into general use.
Resolved, That as vocal music is known to be a healthy
and pleasing exercise, its influence over the mind very
beneficial, therefore it ought t<> he encouraged and taught
in our common schools to some extent.
Ih solved, That we as a body of teachers, being aware
of the great necessity of improving ourselves in reading,
will endeavor so to qualify ourselves in this branch of
education, that our Superintendent and employers will
have less cause of complaint than heretofore.
Resolved, That we tender our thanks to O. R. CASE A
Co., lor their kindness in presenting our Superintendent
with a scries of Outline Maps for the use of the several
Institutes.
Resolved. That we are under lasting obligations to the
people of this vicinity, for the kiuduess shown us, and
for the pains they as a body have taken to render our
stay as pleasant as possible.

ing as we do, that it has added much to the interest of
our several meetings.
Resolved, That our thanks are due to the Trustees of
this church, for its use during our sessions.

ought to be paid to the ventilation of school-rooms than

INSTALLATIONS. —It may prove agreeable to
the religious readers of the Reporter to learn that two
pastoral relations have recently been constituted, in two
important churches in the Susquehanna Presbytery.
On Tuesday evening, Sept. 27, Rev. J. G. CAKNOCHAN,
Pastor of the congregation of Troy. Rev. J. FOSTER, as
Moderator of Presbytery, presided, proposed the consti
tutional questions, and made the installing prayer. Rev.
C. C. COBSS, preached the sermon. Rev. T. S. DEWING
charged the pastor. Rev. A. BARK charged the people.
On the next evening, Sept. 28, Rev. E. KENNEDY was
installed Pastor of the Congregation of Klkland, at Os
ceola, in Tioga county. Pa. Rev. J. FOSTER officiated as
before, and also preached the sermon. Rev. A. BARK
charged the Pastor, and Rev. T. S. DEWING charged the
people.
These two churches,forty miles apart, present inviting
fields of labor, and have been blessed during the residence
of their ministers among them.
It is a matter of no small interest that in one week two
churches have thus entered into the pastoral relation.—
It is to he hoped that in these days of frequent changes,
the relation of minister aud people, may prove more and
more permanent. PRESBYTER.

i was allowed to be published with the proceedings of the

i with one Conferee, under protest:
j That the representation of each County must lie fixe-!
: either by usage, or by the agreement of the parties, m ,
| that in this Conference, it is neither the one nor the oth
er, but is fixed by an arbitrary power. Usage lia.- c--
i tabli-hed an equal number of Conferees from every county
in all Districts, whether Congressional, Senatorial or Rep
resentative, within this State, on the principle that c.u a
| county is a separate ami independent district, aud enti
tied to confer with other counties, whether large or-ma !
on the basis of equality, as much so as that each St ti
ls represented in the general government by two senators,
and no other county is represented with "less than two
conferees. This is a new Senatorial District. No agree
ment has been nude fixing the number of conferees
No party can be bound by any agreement, without that
party consents to it.
Sullivan county was not consulted, lier voice was not
J heard, she was not even permitted to cast her vote as to
how many Conferees Bradford,Susquehanna or Wyoming
Counties should have in this Conference. Neither vi
-he suffered to give a vote in the fixiug of her own num
ber. But Bradford. Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties
severally, had a voice in ami fixed their own number at
1 live, four aud two, and gave Sullivan but one Couleree.
Sullivan county does most respectfully vet solemnly
i protest that she had no part in, neither is she bound 1-v
, any arrangement, giving to Bradford County live Con
ferees, to Susquehanna four, to Wyoming two. aud to
I herself but one.
She claims now. and she will ever claim, as of right,
an equal representation in all Conferences, which -Iw
now receives, and has always received in every other po
litical district.
