The canvass for County offices has so far

Ocrtix 5000 majority in Bradford. Republi
cans ! suail it be done ? To do it no more
i.uie can be wasted. Every exertion must be
put forth to secure a full vote, and we shall
achieve such a result as will maintain the
pr ud position of Bradford, as the Gibraltcr

Naples Lad been declared in a state of siege,
in preparation, no doubt, for GARISALM'S anti"

There is a report current that Austria will so
far forget the obligations imposed upon her
by the treaty of Villafraoce as actively to op
pose the progress of the Italian Revolution in
Naples ; but can scarcely credit the statement.
She La*, however, demanded explanation from
Piedmont of that part of GARISALDI'S letter to
the King, in which he says that he meaos
ultimately to free Venetia. In consequence
of these warlike rumors there had been a slight
decline in Coo soia.
P our ICAL Co.vrrvno.vB AND NOMINATION*.—
The Massachusetts Republican Slate Conven
tioo assembled at Worcester Wednesday, and
made nominations for State officers and for
Presidential Electors. The Contention was
attended with more interest and excitement
than any similar assemblage which has con
vened in the State for years in consequence of
the w ithdrawai of Got. Banks from the political
world—the main question being as to who ,
shcold be his successor. The coolest lay, as
the pnoceed.ugs show, bet ween John A Andrew
and Henry L. Daws,and the former gentlemen
was saecessfo!—receiving 133 Totes against
327 for his competitor. G. L. Goodrich was
nominated for Lieuteoant-Goveruorand Oliver
Warner for Secretary of State.
The Connecticut Democratic State Conven
tion for the nomination of an electoral ticket,
was held at Hartford on Wedcesday. The
Douglas men had everything their own way,
\ and nominated a straight ticket. A great
deal of bitterness was exhibited between the
representatives of the wings, and it is more
than probably that a Breckenridge ticket will
be nominated in opposition.
A full electoral ticket was nominated by the
Breckenridge Democrats in M.cbigan, on
Wednesday.
A Dispatch from New Orleans states that
Gen Houston has declined being a candidate
