To the Electors of Bradford County.
ITHE COMMITTEE APPOINTED FOR
. that, purpose, having intcrrogat?d the Candidates
nominated by the Republican Convention, held at To
wanda, on Monday, the 2d inst., Messrs TRACY and
Buss —the answer received being unsatisfactory, and iu
many respects disingenuous, we hereby, in pursuance ot
our appointment, tender for your support the name of
tJOL. J. F. MEANS, of Towanda,
as a Candidate for Representative at the coming election.
Col. MEANS has fully and Irankly met the spirit of the
meeting which appointed us, by a prompt assent to serve
his constituents, it elected, tor the old compensation ot
three dollars per day—an arrangement wh.ch the other
Candidates named, have evasively declined.
Those electors who arc honestly m favor of economy
and a reduction of salaries, in this dreadful period ot
depression and taxation, have notv an opportunity of
supporting that principle. Col. MKANS having not only
engaged to serve In instil, for the oUI per diem compen
sation, but pledges liimsell to use every effort lor a gen
eral reduction oi salaries to loruicr and more economi
cal rates. V. E. I'IOLLET,
V. SMITH
A. E. MANARDY,
TOWANDA, Sept. 25, ISCI. Committee.
To the Electors of Bradford County.
AS YOU WILL HAVE SEEN, BY THE
announcement of the nominating Committee ap
pointed at the Mass Meeting held at Towanda, on the 3d
ult., 1 have consented to allow my name to be presented
for your consideration as a candidate for Representative
in the next Legislature. It is due, alike to my Irieuds
and myself, that I should state the single definite pur
pose which induced this consent at the present moment.
We are in the midst of a struggle which involves the
life or deatli of our glorious Republic—it our present form
of government shall lie blotted out, the brightest hope ot
man, in all the world, will have perished with it. This
is an hour then, which calls for every effort that honest
and patriotic citizens ot ALL parties in the north can
make, to save the rich legacy of our fathers, and transmit
it unimpaired to our children. We are giving up sons
aiid brothers and friends on every hand who go to hare
their bosoms, arid risk their lives, in the deadly strife of
battle. We are pouring out our substance in every form,
to sustain the government and to strengthen its hands ;
and privation, pecuniary distress, anJ the sorest taxation
: -tart us in the tace on all sides—and must tie met, and
• should be met, boldly, cheerfully and in the genuine spir
it ot patriotism. At such a moment, we bcliuld the sala
ries and per diem wages of the office-holder*, standing
titrates ot extravagance, established in times of great
pro-perity and prolusion. What was sought, as I under
stand, by the Mass Meeting ot tiie 3d inst.. was simply to
bave our Representatives lake the first step—exhibit, it
you please, the first example of a return to former and
inore economical rates ot compensation. If the party
leaders amongst the Republicans—those who are accus
: touted to relieve the people from all trouble, and chalk
out party tickets years ahead, hid nut closed the doors
ol their nominating Convention ag.iin-t all ideaof rsioN,
; and put aside all efforts at retrenchment and reform in
! salaries. I feel confident no Iteinoeratic Mass Meeting
would bave been held this tall, in Bradford county. As
it is, neither the special pleading of Mr TRACY, nor the
' unbecoming personal and parti-an tirade of Dr. BLISS,
1 can obscure tnis plain tact, that the members ot that Mass
! Meeting offered to support them 1 I'NAI Y and BLISS) it
they * nit ID simply and patriotically agree in the.* hard
times, to serve in the comlortable balls ot legislation, tor
the same price received by GAKKICK MALORY, GKO. DKN
ISON, iterßKN WILBKK, WM. ELWKLL, Jons L. Wnuu.aud
many o.her able and good men. Three dollars per day,
isjiist six times as much as our brave soldiers get lor the
jH-ril ol life and limb on the battle field. Both the other
candidates named, expressly admit that seven dollars a
day is too much ; and you have seen the evasive, hair
drawn reasons given why they intend to pocket an ad
milted uni eusuitable compensation, it elected.
Ibe nominating Committee upon receiving their re
i plies asked me t i accept s nomination upon the princi
ples indicated by the meeting, and called for by Repub
licans. a well as Democrats all over the county ; and I
i have consented. I have no fears I shall humiliate my
