Rally in your strength to maintain the Re publican party, and close up the rauks for the battle now at hand. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Much has been said by the bolters about the frauds perpetrated in the Republican County Convention, especially by its chairman. W c propose to look into this matter very brif ly, and see what it nil amounts to. We shall take the Charges as they are embodied in an article published in the Argus of last week, as containing the gist of the whole ground ot complaint. The first charge is that the Chairman was elected with indecent haste,and that he walked to the " chair of the convention," as " an uh ruly bull walkcs into the farmers harvest field," and not with the dignity and those nice gen uflections which would have graced the car riage of a member of this new " people's par ty," We never thought, we will candidly ad mit, that the Colonel had a very gracful walk in conventions or upon side-walks, but we must insist, at the same time, that his carriage upon that occasion, was not so outrageous and autre as to require the overthrow of the Republican party and a union with the Democrats as the only sufficient atonement. Nevertheless, we advise the Colonel to straightway get him an artist and study the "Greek Misters for noth ing else will appease the rebels here in Brad ford. They are bound to beat us in etiquette as the Southern rebels beat us in "chivalry." Having thus ungracefully got himself into the " chair," he presumed to act as President of the Convention, when it was understood and agreed by a large majority of the delegates that Dr. C. K. LADD, was to be the President of the Convention." So says the very grace ful writer in the Argus. Rut permit us to in quire, when and where was it " agreed," and under.-tood by a majority of the delegates that Dr. C. K. LADO should be the President of the Convention ? Not in the Convention, certain ly. Nobody will assert that. It must, then, have been in some canvas outside of the Con vention. The truth, unquestionably, is, that the friends of TRACY had agreed upon Dr. LADD as president and the friends of LANDON had agreed upon Colonel MASON. The friends of LANDON were about one minute too quick for the friends of TRACY, and elected their presi dent. There was nothing very uuasual or startling in it. Such tilings have happened often in conventions before. But whoever be fore heard of a faction getting np a general howi about frand and corruption, and cry out for " dissloution " a.id " destruction " because they were defeated in the election of their president of a couveution ? Men do not de mand changes effecting interests so vast for causes so trivial. You tnay be sure these men went into this convention with " rule or ruin" t their motto, and arc now seeking every pal tFy excuse to justify them in their premeditat ed treachery to the cause of the people and the great party of freedom in this country. — There can be BO other plausible explanation of their couduct. The next charge against the convention is that, the chairman declared a resolution de faated " by a tie vote—44 and 44"—being two votes more than the number of delegates in the Convention. A tie vote defeats a prop osition everybody knows. The clerks appear to have agreed in the tally, and striking one vol® from each side would not change the re sult. No one asked for the yeas and nays :i Kooond time upon the resolution and the matter was dropped This is our recollection matter. Where is the great crime or fraud to j he found in this charge f Again, the Argus writer asserts that " For the first time hi the history of this county, wc believe, was the attempt made to elect Con irressional Conferees, before the candidates for Congress was nominated !" We must confess this charge is a very serious one, if true ; for it is very certaiu the convention was not called for the purpose of altering the current of " History" —that very grave privilege,we think belongs exclusively to a certain Rev. Abbot, who writes the ''life of NAPOLEON-BONAPARTE,' and our republ'can convention had no sort of business to meddle with what is the exclusive prerogative of another. 15ut perhaps, after all, the Argus- writer is not perfectly acquaint ed with the " history of this county" and | may, unintentionally, misstate its facts. Oar j recollection of the " history " of conventions J in this county is, that it is usual to nominate conferees and instruct them to vote for a par ticular candidate The motion in our late con vention differed from this only in uamilig no candidate but leaving a blank to be tilled by the convention. If our recollection is correct the departure of the convention from former history is not very serious, and we submit that the republican party might safely be allowed to live one year more and try its haud at con ducting one more county convention. The lust charge is in these words : —" The next thing out of order, was to declare the credentials of the delegates from two townships illegal and out of order, which was done and delegates switched on the track for other can didates." Two townships arc named here, but we be lieve there is no rcul coraplaiut as regards but one—Tusearora. In that case the facts before the convention fairly proved that the friends of TKACY went to the caucus with a lot of democrats and undertook to carry the caucui by auti republican votes The true re publicans of the township refused to submit to such unjustifiable interference, and scut dele gates elected by republican votes. They did i just right, and the cooveution did right in ad , mitting those delegates. When any clique in any township attempts to carry a republican caucus by democratic votes they deserve the sharpest kind of rebuke and should be upheld by no genuine republican. 'Columbia is the other township alluded to. In this case the facts were too conclusive to admit of excuse for complaint. They were these: The party complaining had the vigi lance committee all on their side, and for some cause known only to themselves, never adver tised any caucus in Columbia township. But the County committee having recommended the caucus to be held between the hours of two and seven o'clock, p M , all parties seemed to have taken that for their guide. They as sembled ut the usual place of holding such meeting, many of them as early as twelve and one o'clock. The people waited very impa tiently until four o'clock. In the meantime some had left for home and many more were about to leave. It was suspected that the par ty having the vigilance committee had uot neg lected to advertise the meeting without a pur- pose, and that they did not intend to call the meeting to order, until the other party had gone home. The meeting was then very prop erly called to order, and regularly organized, and with every usual and necessary deliberation delegates were elected. Fully as" many of the complaining party were in the room at the time as of the other party, but lliev made no objection nntil the meeting was regularly ad journed. Then they organized another meet | ing and sent other delegates to the convention. The convention refused to receive them, and j served them right. This is all the " Switch ing on" of delegates for other candidates I amounted to | We have thus stated fully, the charges i against the action of the republican county i convention. And now, wc ask any and every | republican in Bradford county, to put this | question to himself. Do they show such fraud ; and corruption on the part of the convention as to justify rue in refusing tojvote for its nom | inees and thus destroy the party and deliver ! up the county to the coutol of the Democrats? i Fellow-Republicans ! we have no interest i in this matter separate or different from yours. ! We are all embarked in the same just and ho i J | ly cause and defeat is alike disastrous to us : all. We implore you not to deceive yourselves! ; The defeat of the Republican party is a Dem j ocrntic victory —and a Democratic victory in ■ this county would give more joy to the rebels : in arms against the Union and their sympa- I thizers all over the loyal states, than the gain 1 ing of a great battle by those same traitors on the banks of the Potomac. Do not flatter yourselves that the difference is but little be tween the candidates because the candidates upon the disorganizer's ticket hare heretofore professed to be Republicans. We know they have -professed to be Republicans, and we know, too, that this is not the first time they have attempted to break up the Republican party They have been with us but not of us. Why else do the Democrats so readily af filiate with them, and declare their intention to vote for them ? We beg of jou to be warned in time, and not commit an act of fol ly and madness, which you will regret for the rest of your lives. TE TRACY and PIOLEET organ of this coun ty complains that Mr. LANDO.V was nominated by unfair means ; but forgets to tell its read ers that the meeting which nominated Mr. TRACY declared in favor of Col. MCKEA.V, for j Congress, by appoiuting a committee—a ma jority of whom were pledged in favor of th Colonel for that office—and that he was de feated before the committee by representation from Mr. IIOLCOMB that he. had a bad recort and would not be strong with the people. 01 course his bad record will not prevent the TRACY men from mpportieg hiai for the legis lature. THE " PEOPLE'S TICKET."—HOW IT WAS NOMINATED. A few disappointed office-seekers got logcth j or in the Court House, on Monday night, and ; nominated what the}' call a "People's Ticket. These men had tried their best to control the Republican' Convention, to suit their own in terests and failed. But having a sort of " seven years itch" for office they were determined not to be satisfied ; so they called to their aid all those that could be found in the county who were now or had heretofore been afflicted with the same disease and whose sores were vet uuheaied but " gaping wide" and resolved to have a convention—a real " Union Con vniliun," of the " specially miserable," — where all were afflicted with the same disease, and'agreed upon a common remedy. And as desperate cases sometimes require " heroic remedies," they agreed to call tlnir "movement" a " Grand Demonstration of tho People, and their ticket the " Peoples T'ukd ." They ap pointed a committee of fifteen " Incurables," to nominate their candidates. This commit tee discharged their duty admirably. They presented a ticket composed, almost exclusive ly, o f individuals who had failed in being noru- | iiiated by Republicau Conventions. Very true some thought this was not quite the thing for a " People's Ticket," but the committee knew better than that by a long shot. They had a lot of " political invalids" on their hands, and " speedy Relief, was the thing required, "Rad way's" wouldn't do in this emergency. The committee made the proper prescription, and the people will see that it is properly adminis tered on the second Tuesday of October.— If the patients do not die outright under the operation we will warrent " speedy relief' to the sufferers. We never knew a second application necessary. CONFESSIONS. It is refreshing to meet a politician who will tell us frankly the motives that impel hitn to take any particular course—who will lay bare to us all the knavery and hvpocricy of his past I actions and give us the assurance that he in- I tends to continue the same course in the fu : tnrc. The ostensible editor of the A>gus is one, and perhaps the only one of this stamp en gaged in the bogus " People's movement'' to break up the Republican party, lie says, ! boldly, and with a frankness that does him in j finite credit, that hs never was a Republican ! —that he was opposed to the organization of J the party in the start, and only acquiesced iu it because he feared being " cri>--ked" if he re fused. lie declares that lie has always been looking for an opportunity to break up the I party and get out of it, and now, he thinks is | the time. This is candid and no doubt all very true. !If all tlie other leaders in the " movement" I were equally honest tho people would have very little difficulty in disposing of the whole i squad as they deserve. Nearly every one en i gaged in the base plot have been in the same | fix as the Argus. They were never Ilepubli j cans—they have been stragglers following the j trail of the great army of the people, seeking j spoils and plunder along the march, and spies upon or*r camps iu the hour of peril and con i llict. Admitting all this, yet the Argus has ; the effrontery to call upon Republicans to i leave their party and forswear their princi pies to follow after a set of men who never have auy principles and are only seeking for offices in the Republican party, and fading in j that, have all along been determined to break ;up the party, and pursue their ga pic for plan i der and power in another organization. But j they have no right to call any such dishonest ! trick a " People's Movement." The people ! despise all such knavery, and will teach all ! those engaged in it that, in politics, as ir. j everything else, " Honesty is tho best policy." BFFK-TIIF. DISGRACEFUL alliance between the disappointed and rejected candidates fur office before the late Republican Convention, and the Breckinridge Democracy, is apparently cordial and complete. TRACY and PIOLLET, representing the " high contracting parties," fraternize with the warmth of long estranged and lately reconciled brethren. Must disgusting is the embrace of the allies ! An inordinate selfishness that forgets all else in the pursuit of personal preferment, joins hands with ma lignant hatred of everything loyal and true to the couutry, for the control of the political power of the County and Congressional Dis trict. Can such an alliance, thus selfish on the one side and disloyal on the other, secure the endorsement of the people at tho ballot box ? It would be a surprise and humiliation for a county so distinguished and honored as Bradford—one that had become historical for the steadfastness of its people to freedom and right—that such a people should now, in the hour of the country's danger and trial, reverse their political action, and join hatids with those whose unpatriotic counsels they have so often spurned and rejected. We trust that history has no such chapter of dishonor and shame to record. The new candidates for popular favor, and their Democratic allies, assail the Republican organization as corrupt, and chafge that it is under the dictation and leadership of selfish aud ambitious men. This does not surprise us, coining from the partizans of Slavery— from those who upheld it in its treasonable ef forts for the destruction of the Government. The Republican party was organized to sus tain the principles of freedom, and rescue the Government from the bauds of the Southern Oligarchy, and its Northern allies. That they should denounce it, and its leading men, is to be expected. Republicanism would be of little value, if it met the approval and sup port of slavebClWing rebels and tbeif sympa thizers. But it is shameful that the hitherto friends of the Administration and the War, should join in this malignant partizaii cry. The Republican party has showered unde served honors on some who are now intent on its overthrow, and for nwcause, save that their pretensions for higher honors were set aside. Is the party more corrupt now, and are its frieuds less worthy of trust, than when it nomi nated and elected TRACY to the Legislature ? Wusthe Republican organization corrupt when it nominated FREMONT, and elected LINCOLN to the Presidency ? Iu Bradford it has given us Judges WILMOT and MERCCR ; and in the District GROW for Congress. It elected to office ALLEN MCKEAN, and HENRY W TRACY —WOODRUFF aud SCALDING, GOODRICH and ELSBREE, have each beeu the recipients of its partiality and favor. Is the evidence of its corruption found in the election of such men ? Who is meant by the " corrupt leaders " ? Is it TRACY and MCKEAN ? or is it GROW, WIL MOT and MERCUR 1 This cry of corruption and dictation is raised by men who see deep wrong inflicted 011 the country, when their na piratioDS for office are defeated. Let the Re publican party be defeated in Bradford Coun ty, and the Democracy of the whole laud shall send up a shout of triumph. The citadel of Freedom will have fallen, and treason both North and South will be inspired with new hope. HOW IT HAPPENED. The Argus is in the service of TRACY, IT OLLET & Co., and is trying to undo all it has accomplished in the last seven years. It is controlled by the enemies of the Republican Party—not that TRACY particularly shall be elected, but that LANDON and the Republican County Ticket shall be defeated ; and many inquire how it happens. The editor of the Argus says " it is because he could 110 longer conscientiously snpjiort the Republican organization of the county." Some time ago the same editor said he never would hove gone into the Republican movement,- on ly that he saw there was money in it for him. But now conscience and not money disturbs the quiet of his pil'ow ! It drives him to pay ALVORD out of some funds —£ J 0')0', fur his in terest in the paper, in ordir that he might place it in the hands of his enemies, to distract and disorganize and to defeat the County Ticket which PARSONS himself and his friends aided to nominate. It compels him to furnish the Democratic party With on organ. They had failed in every attempt to sustain a paper iu the county, but they saw that the Argus was uneasy— its conscier.ee '.cas awakened and they brought their appliances to bear upon it, and it came to terms. They have an organ and an editor now who will cry " No surrender of principles," but for : conscience sake let us defeat the very men we nominated, and overthrow the Republican Party. " The ox knoweth his owner and the : ass his master's crib," and that is bow it hap pened. GEORGE LANDON. There has been mch said about the deeli nation of Mr. LANDON, and the bringing into the field another Republican candidate for Congress. The anxiety of Mr. LANDON to se cure, if possible, unity on the part of the Re publicans of Bradford, has given some foun datiot for this talk. He was willing to step aside, if thereby harmony in the support of | another candidate, and of our County Ticket • could be secured. But the selfi-hness of TKA j cv, whose inordinate ambition to fill a place j for which he has no fitness or qualifications, j afid the llunker Democracy who have him in : keeping, forbid the hope of reconciliation. The Republican candidate for Congress, GEORGE LANDON, will stand where the organi zation aud the true men of the country have placed him. He is the standard bearer of our principles, and will gallautly battle for their success. He stands by the National Admin istration in the effective policy indicated by the President in his late proclamation. He bus therein struck at the cause and life of the Rebellion ; and the slave holding oligarchy and the Northern Democracy will feel and stagger under the blow. He proclaims free dom to all slaves within the rebellious States, unless the arms of their rebellion are ground ed by the first of January next. This is a policy, in the support of which our candidate gives his whole soul. He is for an earnest and thorough prosecution of the war, to the subjugation of the rebellious States, and the complete overthrow of its accursed caase— Slavery. FALSE PRETENSE. The disappointed office hunters pretend that they have uo objection to any one of the Re publican candidates but GEO. LANDON Why then do they oppose any of the other candi dates ? Was it necessary to oppose all the others to defeat LANDON ? Why could you not vote against LANDON, and for all the rest just as well, if his defeat was your only ob ject ? And, particularly, why should you op pose Mr. LILLEY, who was nominated bj ac clamation, by the friends of LANDON, TRACY and SMITH, with equal cheerfulness? It must be patent to all honest men that your true ob ject is —whatever you may pretend —to break op the Republican party, and ally yourselves to the disloyal Breckeuridge democracy. But you will find, in due time, that you caunot transfer the intelligent and honest thousands of the freedom-loving Republicans of this county into any such unholy alliance. The President's recent proclamation will appear in our next issue. A FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS fOH SINCERE REPUBLICANS TO PONDER. In the present unsettled state of party af fairs in this county, it is well for every sincere Republican to pause and seriously consider what is to be the Iff ct of his vote in the ap preaching contest. The intere-ts at stake are too important to be decided 1 "without careful reflection. The first questions that suggest themselves to the honest inquirer is : Why does every Democrat in the county so heartily embark in the same boat wi*h the pretended Republicans who are trying to break up their own party Why do the Democrats forego this precious opportunity to elect a member of Congress and a State Senator of thei-r own faith ? But one answer can be given, and that is this : They are aiming [p prevent the nomination of DAVID WIUMOT to the United States Senate! If they succeed in defeating tlie regularly nominated Republican candidates for the Leg islature, they know that their object is accom plished as effectually as if they elected the most unscrupulous Democrats in the county. To destroy WILMOT is their " being's end and aim," anil to effect it they are willing to fore go every other political interest, and it they succeed all rebeldom, North and South, will raise a shout of ecstatic joy. JEFF. DAVIS himself would consider it almost sufficient to compensate for his late disasters in Murylund. Republicans ! Shall this unholy alliance uc complish their fell purpose? You can and mil si prevent it. You must not let any eon sideration prevent your attending the polls and giving expression to your scorn of those who ate attempting to betray our State into the hands of the enemies of Republican principles by electing another COWAN or a Democrat to the U. S. Senate. We warn you in time. Be eutreated not to disregard the warning. COL. ALLEN M'KEAN. Oi 0 i.f the strange things that happened in the Convention of " incurables," was the nomination of Col. ALLEN MCKEAN for Rep resentative. The Colonel did exp<*ct to be nominated fo? Congress ;■ why he was not, we are going to tell voir. The celebrated "Committee of Fifteen" were packed for the purpose of nominating TRACY foi Congress— TßACY'S " shadow be ing its Chairman. A large majority <Y the leaders in the " movement" wire opposed to TRACY, and, " I-' gar," they would not stand it. So they commenced sounding the Commit tee, and succeeded in procuring the solemn pledge of a majority of its numbers, that they would nominate Col. MCIVTAN for Congress. Wc are assured thi- is so by the person who obtained the pledges. But we are told, upon high poetic authority, that " the best laid schemes of mice and men "are often frustrated, and so it proved in this case. The Committee came into the waiting crowd of anxious cx pedants ol office and solemnly announced the nomination of H. W. TRACY! The "Iu ura hies " were astounded and thrown fairly upon their h lunches. The Democrats who surround !ed them on all sides to keep them in the "traces," were boiling over with joy at their triumph. JOHN swore the whole thing wis knocked squarely in the head and proposed to qnit the concern at once. Coi S- ——, who thought he could depend upon the pledges of men who had left their party and violated their pledges to everybody else, for once for -1 got to laugh at his own jokes ; in fact, he 1 seemed to think there was no joke at all iu the matter, ami "left the Co .vciition with j " grim visaged " disappointment settled indeli bly upon his countenance. Republican friends of Col. MCKEAN ! how !do you relish this sort of game ? These fel -1 lows wanted the votes of Col. MCKEAN S friend*, but they didn't want the Colonel.— They said his " record was too bad " for Con gress, for he might possibly unite all the con -1 dieting interests and be elected ; but his " re j cord " was not " too bad " foi Representative, where he was tery sirfe of being de eated We 1 are assured that the friends of Col. MCKEAN | intend to vote for him to stay where he is. iu an office for which he is peculiarly qualified, j and which is worth three times us much as the office to which his enemies propose to transfer him. If they have the " spunk of a louse," they will do just that, and nothing else. THE Argus man aud many others of those engaged in the effort to destroy the Republi can party, now admit they never nrre Repub licans. Precious confession I Long ago many good and true Republicans suspected as much ol these fellows. But they boa-ted so loudly of their devotion to Republican principles they besought us all Whigs and Democrats with such apparent sincerjMyb. fail into the ranks and join the "Peoples Movement," in inaugurating the Reptdf&an party, that we supposed they were gPmlv in earnest, it not any 100 honest. Bhf it now turns out, by their own coiiljttfooiE that they were deceiving us all the never meant one word of all they said' Republican movement however, proved to be, in very deed, a move uient of the people and the few who, for selfish purposes, fell iuto its wake for the purpose if using it for their owu base purposes or des troying it, have been swept away by the mighty current of houcst yeomanry who crowded into the " movemeut," because they believed in its principles and were determined to carry them successfully onward. The people have that same determination to-day. The false and hy pocritical may go to their " oifn place "—the Democratic party—where they ought long since to have been. But the honest and true —the PEOPLE, will remain where they have ever been—in the Republican ranks. Their principles are dear to them, and they will see to it that they are successfully and triumphant ly sustained. HOW. TIEDF LANDOW. We clip the following from the Jlnrrisbtr, Daily Telegraph of the 20th inst. We tra ,J ler it to our columns to show in what esti Ini rion Mr. LANDON is held by tho;e who BEST know him abroad. What will the Argi ls , a> 'O this : " In the Congressional District composed of Bradford, Columbia, Montour, Wyoming a , i( j Sullivan counties, Hon. GEO. LANDON, of Ii raf j. ford, has been nominated for Congress. j, his many friends throughout the Common wealth, and particularly to those who came i 0 contact ith him in this city, during his l e w, s . lative career, this will be gratifying news. will be gratifying because a good man is tlitp recogn zed and endorsed for a high position and because, too, the country will thus secur? one ol the ablest and most practical ineu j !r the State, at a lime when legislation will invoked to assist in restoring order to all it, sources of prosperity. While Mr. LA NOON oc cupied a seat in the State Senate, he was re gardcd as one of its ablest members—able not only in debate and the displays of the fl wr, but able in the preparation and details of ieiji|. tion, the work of all others which most tests the powers of a legislator. "In Congress, Senator LAN DON will have 3 wider field for the exercise and test of his powers than was afforded him in the L a gisla. tnre, but we doubt whether he can more faith fully serve his constituents in that body th 8n lie did in the body from which he has jnst re tired. Of course his election is a certaiuh." B%„ There is nothing more com non than for political demagogues to cttept to cover up their own selfish purposes, under the name of the " People's Movement." Look at the men and the candidates, who attempt to force them | selves this fall upon the people, under th; guise of reformers—" the pure in spirit." JOHN C ADAMS, the orator of the Monde evening Mess M eeting, refused to join in the rnouem-ent that inaugurated the Republican pany, because, in- his own language " he dil not know who was to t>e Captain"—and \\>i; with the American orgaiezatian, in support | of FILLMORE, with some liity others in Bra tlorj county ; jet in his late speech he talked loui ly of having always acted with the people. 11 W. Tit.i ;v, the now democratic candi date for Congress, when the Mi.-s Convention was held, in which tin- first R pu licau ticket was liominnted, was Chairman of the Commit tee on fv'soiti l ions Sept. 10, 1855. Wii- dclegite to the Convention, Sept. !, i IBSG. September 9, 1858, was candidate for lte;e : resoutative. September 8, 1859, was eandiih.ti for Sen | a tor. In the Conventions of 1800 and 1801 'j nominated fur It -presentiitivc, and having o;i<-e t ste.i the sweet A of office, lie hail so lnr.g s'niggled for, bolted because he was not nom inated in the couventi)n of 1802. Why did yon nominate Mr, TBACV? e heard a friend ask of one i-f" the secelersi— ■" We were afraid he would bolt, if he was not,' was the reply. Col. ALLEN MCKEAN having held the oßiv 1 of Prothouotary lor three terms, was inmii ! nated for the fourth ti*ria by the Republican I party in 1857, was again a candidate for the 1 same office in 1860, and sii.ee, has been hold ing a lucrative position under the Government ! at Washington. M.ti TERRY was a candidate before the re publican Convention of IS6O for Represents i tive. J/tcor. LINPERMAN was a candidate for th | same office in the R publican County Cenv-n --; tion, to which he has been nominated by the | si coders. The engineer of the decoders' meeting, Jt> j SON IIOLCDMR, was nominated as R-ipre-enta* live at the first R- pnhhcari Convention in 1855, 1 and ever since then bus been in tile enj nuicitt of office. It is an insfiflt to fire corflrnion sense of the ; people of 'his County, that these men, haviilg 1 now exhausted the patience of the Republican party in their horse leach demands for office, can under the guise of 11 " people's movement once again go the rounds of office. Had Mr T.LACY been nominated for Con griss, the demands of tlie times would no! I have required a change of organization ; hi" i as he was not, by some weird influence, all it i wrong ; and the men who assembled in their j township canons and elected delegates to raakt a ticket are now told that these delegate ; were incompetent and corrupt ; and that th ! committee of fifteen, of the Monday events! Mass Meeting, contained ull the ability aU I purify of the party in the county. As wc- go to press, we sse by the Argm ; that Col. ELHANAV SMITH is nominated W State Senator. This list is now full. Col SMILH was also a candidate before the lican Convention for Congress. Mr. TRACT having got the loaf, Mr. SMITH has receives the crumbs. THE DIFFERENCE. Last Spring Mr. TRACY was anxious G' B Mr. LANDON should be re-elected to I- Senate,thought lie was a very able and eflßcieti member,and ought to go back. Bat us soon n he was a candidate for Congress, Mr. I SA ' 1 attacked him very bitterly.
