Foster and the Canvass.
I
The Democratic candidate for Governor
broke the silence which he has heretofore so
studiously maintained, by addressing the peo
ple of Greensburg, his residence, some two,
weeks since. A report of his speech was for-1
warded to the Philadelphia Press. It repre
sen ted Gen. Foster as planting himself square-j
lv upon the Douglas platform. Week before
last, however, the General was in the city of :
Philadelphia. His Breckenridgc friends got at
him, and there appeared in the Pcnnsylvanian
aflat-rooted denial of the report in the Press !
on the authority, as was alleged, of Geu. 1
Foster himself. The Press gives the name uf
its reporter, inquires whether or not Gen. |
Foster authorized the denial of the Pcnnsyl- j
nnwn, and concludes a spirited editorial in
the following pregnant words :
'• But wc will not permit any man, not even j
Gen. Foster,to place us in the uttitudeof mis-,
representing his opinions by fabricating reports !
of his speeches. We have not forced our doc- j
trines upon him. We have uot demanded of 1
him to speak out for Douglas, the regular
Democratic candidate for President. Wc have j
only demanded that he should not lend him- 1
self to a plot by which the suffrages of the
Democrats of the State should should be trad- 1
cd off for a runk disunion movement, and for
an impudent and irregular nomination.
Now, as we have said, the article in the '
Custom-llonse paper derives significance from
the fact that paper is the mere reflection of a
few men in office, with whom General Foster
is in daily communion, and it also assumes a j
certain importance in connection with the ru- I
nior, unhappily too well authenticated,that he
favors a fusion electoral ticket, which appoint-,
cd upon the moral obligation to support the re- :
gular Democratic candidate for President, is
intended to destroy him.
The earnest friends of Judge Douglas, how
ever they may deplore Gen. Foster's weakness
in con-tautlv consulting with the enemies of
that illustrious Statesman, gladly greet* d his
Somerset speech in favor of the great principle
of self government ; and they stood and stand, 1
ready to vote for him upon thai avowal. Bat
there must be no marked cards, iu this great
game. General Foster cannot run upon two
platforms. He cannot make a speech in Somer
set and disavow it in Philadelphia. He can
not get tens of thousands of vote* of the Doug-
Ins Democrats by catering for the contemptible
Breckenridge minority. His silence might
have carried him through ; but when he will
talk it must be with no forked tongue. Does
lie stand by his Somerset speech, or does he
repudiate it ?
That is the question. He must answer it.or
the people will do it for him in October."
Free Speech in Philadelphia.
The city of Philadelphia last Wednesday
evening was the scene of an outrageous attack
upon the rights of free speech. After the
meeting at National Hall John Sherman was
serenaded by the Republican Invincible?, and
called upon for a speech. This desire did not
accord with the wishes of his opponents, and
as soon as he appeared on the balcony he was
interrupted by a disgraceful demonstration of
t lie Bell Everett party, assisted by the demo
crafs. Mr. Sherman, at length, was allowed
to proceed, but the noise and confusion con
tinued through his speech and at one time the
mob attacked the Invincible.*, who were oblig
ed to clear the square of the most refractory
rioters.
Mr. Sherman's speech wa a manly vindica
tion of the right of free speech, which he claim
cd for himself in Philadelphia and elsewhere.
In the course of his remarks, being called
upon for a defence of his recommendation of
the Helper book, ho said that he recommend
ed it not because he approved every line iu it,
but because lie believed it to lie one of the
rights of American citizens to read just what
books they pleased. Mr. Sherman then, hear
ing shouts for Bell, pleasantly proposed three
cheers for that gentleman, and continued his :
defence. He promised a hearing in Ohio to '
any man. whether lie were for Douglas, Bell -
or Breckinridge, and he was determined to !
have a hearing, cost what it might, in Phila
delphia. Mr. Sherman finally, to hnmor the
mob, proposed three cheers for Douglas, but
none were given, and having by this means
got the crowd into a pleasant mood, he thank
ed the Invineibles for their serenade, and com
plimented them on having vindicated the
birthright of every American to the use of his
own tongne, a deed which they would never
regret. After a eulogy on Abraham Lincoln,
Mr. Sherman closed, and the crowd retired
without any further disorder. It is but due to
tkc Bell and Everett party to say that its
leader- disclaim any participation in the disor
derly proceedings of the evening ; they profess
to be as murh ashamed of the outrages com
mittcd in their names as others can be ; and
if Mr. Sherman should return to Philadelphia
lie would be greeted with an overwhelming
audience.
ny-The steamer Asia,with European dales
of the 2d inst., two days later than previous
advices, arrived at New Yoik Saturday. The
first street Rail Road in England, on the
American principle, was inaugurated at Birk
enhead on the 30th of August. There was a
dead calm in politics in England since the ad
journment o f Parliament. The J'aris Consti
tutional states that 100,000 men had been
mobilized, and that a permament camp of the
French army was to be established close to
the Swiss and German frontier. It is also
rumored that two more regiments were to be
dispatched to llome ns recnforcoments. Noth
ing of moment had occurred in Calabria, and
the reported flight of the Ki nof Naples was
unconfirmed. It was reported that several of
the Neapolitan Ministers bed declared that if
a general rising took place they would give it
no opposition, as tbey would not fight against
their countrymen. It is also said that Gari
baldi has succeeded in transporting the whole
of his army to the main land. A Naples dis
patch of the 30th of August says that Gari
baldi had disappeared from Calabria, but is
was not known iu what direction he went.—
Austria was quite active in preparing for an
attack npou Venetia. Fuad Pasha had caused
the execution of 180 individuals who had taken
part in the Syrian massacres. He had also
compelled 3,000 inhabitants of Damascus to
enter the army. Four thousand five hundred
of the French expedition had disembarked at
Bevrout. Their appearance had caused an
ill feeling between the Moslems and Christians,
and a general outbreak was feared. Additional
details of the massacres had been received.
Thousands of the slaughtered were left unburi
cd. The cholera was prevailing in Spain to
a serious extent. Breadstuff's quiet. Consols,

The success of the County Ticket is
not the less ot interest to us, because we hap
pen to be a candidate upon it, and we do not
propose on that account to neglect it entirely,
'so that iu whatever we may say we wish to
make a general disclaimer a3 regards ourself,
and not be under the necessity of doir.g so
particularly. Whenever, then, any reference
is made in our columns, concerning the County
Ticket, we wish it distinctly understood that
the candidate for Prothonotary is not included.
JBSaT In another column, will be found a
communication from Col. Allen M'Kea.v, in
regard to tko office of Prothonotary, to be a
candidate for which lie has been urged by many
warm friends. The publication of this letter
was rendered necessary by the officious and
persistent efforts of our Democratic friends
alio were eager to create discord and division
in our ranks. During the iaie struggle for the
nomination—too exciting,by far, for the good
of the Republican party—no man could have
had warmer friends than Col. M'Kean-friends
who are so attached to his personal and polit
ical interests, that it is hardly to be wondered
that when defeated, they were willing to over
step the bounds of political prudence, and urge
him to adopt a course which their political
judgment, iu its cooler moments, would teach
them was calculated to work irreparable injury
to the Republican cause.
Col. M K fax's political integrity and his
devotion to Republican principles, however,
stood the test of the fiery ordeal—the ap
peals of excited political friends, coupled with
the machinations of designing and wily oppo
nents, intent only on injury to our party —and
he stands forth, to fulfil the expectations of
his true friends, by maintaining the integrity
of the Republican party and yielding a cordial
and hearty support to the State and County
1 Tick. t.
In liia communication Col. M'KEAN does us
the kindness to say that the best political and
personal relations have been maintained be
tween us, during one of the most exciting po
litical contests ever kuown in the history of
the County. We have taken every occasion
to bear testimony toCol. M'KEAN'S high char
acter as an officer, a neighbor, and A Republi
can. If elected to the office he has so excel
lently filled, it will be our highest ambition (to
use 011 oft repeated quotation) to " tread in
the footsteps of our illustrious predecessor."—
If we should succeed in satisfying the public
as well as he, we should feel as if we had more
than discharged our duty. Iu the excitement
of the past, things may have been said and
done, which the reflection of cooler moments
will not justify. If so, we trust the past will
be forgotten, and recollecting only that we
are members of one great party, actuated by a
common impulse, let us be stimulated by the
feeling of emulation as to " WHO CAN* BEST WORK
AVD BEST AGREE."
THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST.
Less thau three weeks now intervene before
the second Tuesday of October. Are our Re
publican friends fully awakened to a sense of
the importance of the issues then to be decid
ed '{ We fear not. In the history of our po
litical contests such great magnitude has never
attached to a result, as bangs upon the elec
tion of Governor. Republicans of Bradford !
you may decide the Presidential contest by
your want of activity for Cian.v. The
battle-ground of the Presidency has been
changed to Pennsylvania. A thorough review
aud canvass has satisfied the Locofocos that
New York was impregnable, and all accounts
agree that that State has been given up as cer
tain for LINCOLN, while desperate efforts are
to be made to elect FOSTKK iu Pennsylvania,
trusting that when that result shall bare been
achieved, a fusion can be effected of the ele
ments which have gained that victory.
To defeat CIRTIN the most desperate efTorts
are to be pnt forth, The same unscrupulous
means will be employed, which in 1856 defeat
ed the Republican candidates. The cotton
merchants of New York will contribute their
thousands of dollars, to be employed in pro
viding fraudulent votes, aud in buying up the
marketable politicians of the State. We must
not shut our eyes to the fact, that we shall
need EVERY VOTE to elect CCRTIX. A lack of
exertion will endanger our success. Activity
among our friends, by ensuring a full poll,
will make triumph certain iu October, aud our
success in November a fixed fact.
Republicans of Bradford ! upon you rests
no small degree of responsibility. You can
give CI'KTIN 5000 majority. Every vote less
than that makes his election less certain. Are
there any interests paramount to our triumph
in October ? Are there any considerations
which should hazard our success in November?
If local jealousies or partizan prejudices are
entertained by any Republican, let such only
affect the County Ticket, but let us all strike
for the success of Republican principles, by
the election of LINCOLN, IIAMI.IX and CURTIS !
We call upon ever} Republican iu Bradford,
who is actuated by principle, to arouse, lay
a.-ide prejudices and work for the success of
the cause which is infinitely of more impor
tance than any personal considerations. Let
us secure the National Government from the
domination of the Slave Power. Let us re
buke the profligacy which has crept into all
departments of the Government. Let us es
tablish a National Administration upon the
principles of our Forefathers, extending equal
and exact justice to all men. For this glori
ous consummation we need every vote in Brad
lord. It, is no time now for coldness nor apa
thy. Every Republican should gird ou his
armor, close up the ranks, aud present a united
phalanx for the battle so soon to be decided.
STAND BY THE TICKET.
There is a great reason why the Republicans
of Bradford should stand up square for the
WHOLE TICKET. Candidates more worthy
of your support, never asked your suffrages.—
Don't permit any consideration to allow you
to strike a single name. Remember that it is
necessary that our whole ticket should receive
our united support, not that the offices are of
any consequence, but to show that we are
honestly united on principle, and determined
to vote for the men who represent our princi
ples inside of our organization.
It is necessary for the success of onr organi
zation, and for the great object for which it
has been formed, that every member on the
tii ket should be cordially and zealously sup
ported. Don't allow appeals of any kind to
swerve vou from vour dutv. We have norai-
nated our candidates in good faith. No bet
ter selections could have been made. They
arc entitled to our support, not only from their
capacity, but from the fact that if the Repub
licaus should leave any portion of their ticket,
it would create distrust and lessen the useful
ness of the organization hereafter. All our
accounts from the differeut sections of the
County are most flattering. The Republican
phalanx, as far as we can learn, presents a
united uud determined front, and is ready on
the second Tuesday of October to do battle
for the cause of Freedom.
Letter from Col. PTXean.
To THE EMTOKS OK THE BRAPKORD ARGUS—
GENTLEMEN: Having been strongly urged by
a large and respectable number of my Repub
lican friends of the County, to permit my
name to be used as a candidate for the office
I now hold, at the ensuing election, I take this
occasion to say to* my Republican friends, and
my fellow-citizens, that I am not a candidate.
I am always willing to comply with all reason
able nnd proper requests which tnay be made
by my friends, but I believe that after a prop
er time, and after due reflection, they will
readily coiucide with me in the wisdom of my
conclusion. AVere I a candidate, it is but too
obvious and plain, that a state of things would
exist which might be disastrous, and much to
b) deplored ; and whether the result would
terminate in my favor or against me, the or
ganization of the Republican party in this
County would suffer, and that most severely.
It is, therefore, iu view of these things, that
after this lapse of time, and after mature de
liberation, I have taken upon mvself the re
sponsibility of announcing my determination.
I have, as is well known, been strongly urged
and solicited by many good and warm friends,
to permit my name to be used at this time for
the purpose of correcting certain alleged abuses
and wrongs committed in choosing delegates,
and complaints made against the action of the
Convention. I am what may be termed a
charter-member of the Republican party in
Old Bradford, and will go as far as any of my
friends, in any reasonable and proper manner
to bring about a reform, whereby the will of
the people can be properly expressed, at any
and all times, and I think my friends will bear
me out in aaying that abetter and more prop
er remedy can be applied, to rectify and reform
those evils, than to resort to a movement
which wonld hare a tendency to disorganize,
which in my judgment should be resorted to
only in cases where abuses become so flagrant
and prevalaut as to require a complete revolu
tion of party organization.
In view of the great Presidential contest
which is about to eorne off, I deem it a duty I
owe to myself, my friends, aud the Republican
party, to take such a coarse as will harmonixe
the party, and advance Its best interests, and
bare therefore come to the determination to
stand aside aud fall in with the rank aud file. |
I have too much at heart tbo prosperity aud
success of Republican principles to desire forper
sonal motives to hazard either, aud I call upon
my friends to siuk all other considerations ex
cept the good of the .Republican party, and
give the State and County Ticket a hearty and
cordial support.
Ever mindful of ray many warm friends,
many of whom have stood by me through ad
verse and prosperous times, and since my first
electron to this office iu 1848, I assure them I
am grateful for their favors and support, aud
I shall carry with me so long as timo with me
shall last, the pleasing recollection of their
kindness to me, aud their aid in my behalf.
The late spirited and animated contest be
tween my competitor and myself, is now over.
Let mesay to those who were in my favor, as
well as these who were opposed, that we con
stitute but one great political party, contend
ing alike for principle and differing only as to
men.
I would here remark, that between Mr.
GOODRICH and myself the best feeling has ever
aud still exists, personally and politically. As
to his competency or capacity to discharge the
duties of the office, I believe there is no dis
pute—as there is none iu reference to his in
tegrity as a citizen.
My fellow citizens with whom I have had
occasion to transact business, in my official ca
pacity, for the past twelve years, have my best
wishes, and if I have failed in their expecta
tions to a proper performance aud discharge
of my duty, they, will purdou mc aud take the
will for the deed, for I aru sure my motives
were good, although I might have failed iu my
de ign to fulfil their expectations.
Respectfully yours,
ALLEN M'KEAN.
