Sgk-The editor of the REPORTER having re
tnrned Eafely from a short campaign in Mary
land, greets his old friends, and assumes once
more the editorial tripod.
Union vs. Coalition.
We find, upon onr return, that our neigh
bor of the Argus has beeu quoting from the
coiumns of the REPOTTER an article iu fever
of the Union of all good and loyal to
bolster up the base coalition with PIOI.I.ET &
Co. 1 We stand by, and approve of all we
have ever said upon the subject of a union of
the men who are heartily uuited in favor of a
vigorons prosecution of the war, in favor of
aiding the Government in every way to crush
out this rebellion, and the great and sole cause
of it. We are willing to co-operate with all
true and loyal men,who agree with us in senti
ments, by whatever uarne they may style them
selves. The principles laid down in the reso
lutions of the State and County Conventions,
meet our cordial approbation, and whoever ia
ready to meet with us upon that platform, will
find from us a ready co-oparation.
But our neighbor, who sets down carefully
and selfishly to calculate where his interests
lie, dors not appear to understand the differ
ence between a union of men of like principles
aud a base coalition of designing men, who
have DO agreement upon priueiples, but who
have personal ends each hopes to attain re
gardless of the welfare of the country The
Argvs is now cheen. with PIOLLKT &
Co. Will it be pretended that they have
united upon principles ? Have the democratic
leaders of this County, eoddenly become con
verts to the principles of the Republican par
ty ? Are thejk-xeady to endorse the acts of
the General Administration ? Are they pre
pared to aid in suppressing the Rebellion, by
every meaDs in the power of the President ?
Do they endorse the Emancipation Proclama
tion of the President, which has so delighted
onr people ?
If these miraculous changes have been ef
fected, then the, Union of PIOLLET & Co., with
the Argus, has some form of consistency
no intelligent man believes any such thiDg.—
The Argus will not claim it. The Democratic
leaders are as hostile to the Adc 'stratioD as
ever. They are as ready to stigma repub
licans as " abolitionists" as they were, a few
weeks ago. There is no affinity of feeling un
less TRACY and his friends hare backslid FROM
their principles wu c o they rushed to the em
brace of PIOI.LF.T.
A anion of men who have been acting in
antagonistic organizations should have noth
ing indefinite about it, if they come together
because they agree in their principles. It
should be upon a;broad and boldly proclaimed
platform, that the world may judge of the in
tegrity of their motives. But a coalition such
as has been formed by TRACY and SMITH with
PIOLLET, can only have in it, designs which
are inimical to the principles and v. dfare of
the Republican party, and conseqnently to the
highest interests of the country.
The Plot Fully Disclosed!
BICK.UEW FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR !
A coalition, as foul and unnatural as ever
disgraced political history has been form
ed between the Breckinridge democracy
of this Congressional district, and HENRY
W. TRACY*, a self-constituted candidate
for Congress, by which the principles and
candidates of the Republican party are to
be sacrificed, to promote the overweening
ambition of Mr. TRACY.-
We charge distinctly and plainly that
an agreement has been made by virtue of
which the Breckinridge Democrats are
not to make any nomination for Congress,
but are to support TRACY for Congress,
SMITH for Senate, and TERRY and Mc-
KEAN for Representatives, the considera
tion for which is to be the support of
CHARLES R. BUCKALEW for United States
Senator! We do not ask any Republican
to take our assertion for the truth of this
—but we do ask that the facts shall be
well pondered, and then we are willing to
leave every honest Republican to his own
♦onclusions.
This Congressional District, at best, is
doubtful in its political complexion. At
the present moment, with the ranks of each
party closed up> it is very uncertain which
has the preponderance. The only Repub
lican county is Bradford, and she has sent
her voters by thousands into the army.
The unhappy contest for Congressional
nomination, b d alienated many Republi
cans from wo nominee, (whoever he might
have been), so that the prospect of elect
ing the Republican nominee was by no
means bright. Apparently there never
was a fairer opportunity for electing a
Democratic Congressman than presented
itself in this District. The Democratic
Conference which met at Tunkhannock on
the 10th ult., adjourned to meet at Blooms
burg, on Tuesday last. At that meet
ing, held at the home of BUCKALEW, and
o 7
under his personal superintendence, it was,
determined not to nominate a candidate
for Congress, hut to support TRACY.
Why this magnanimity on the part of
the Breckinridgers? Why are they ready
to give up their prospect of electing a mem
ber of Congress? With LANDON and
TRACY both in the field, they were certain
to elect a Democrat. And even if TRACY
withdrew (as he threatened to his Demo
cratic friends), still, if LANDON is as un
popular as alleged, a Democratic triumph
would have been easy. What, we ask
again, has brought about this action of the
O ' O
Breckinridgers, in foregoing the election
of a member of Congress at this time ?
The answer is apparent. In fact, tne
Democratic leaders make no attempt at
concealment. Columbia County Demo
crats with whom we conversed last week
made no secret of what the action of their
Conference svas to be, nor of the reasons
why they should support TRACY*. They
say THE INTERESTS OF BUCKALEW ARE TO
CE PROMOTED BY THE ELECTION OF TRACY
AND THE BOLTING TICKET IN BRADFORD.
That if SMYTH and TERRY and MCKEAN
can be elected, it will be so many votes
toward BUCKALEW'S election to the United
States Senate.
The key to the late disorganizing pro
ceedings in Bradford is furnished by the
action of the Democratic Congressional
Conference, which met at Bloomsburg on
7 o
Tuesday last. The Republican cause, its
principles and its candidates, are to he
overthrown to forward the ambitious
schemes of HENRY W. TRACY, and to grati
fy the disappointed office-seekers who are
banded with him. To carry out their plans,
it seems they are willing to descend to the
depths of political infamy—to endanger
not only the success of Republican princi
ples, hut also the cause of Human Free
dom. Will any honest and sincere Re
publican lend himself to this plot ?
"Who is CHARLES R. EUCKALEW, whose
aspirations for a seat in the United States
Senate, TRACY and his abettors are pledged
and willing to advance? His political ca
reer is not unknown to the people of this
CouiU i r e is a Breckinridge Democrat
of the most ultra and virulent kind. Penn
sylvania contains within her borders no
more dangerous man than he. Talented
and unscrupulous, he is doubly dangerous,
because to him party is subservient to
country. With him, to succeed in his per
sonal aims, is paramount, and next comes
the success of the Democracy. If elected
to the United States Senate, his sole de
sire would be the success of party. He
is a peace Democrat—which means a sym
pathizer with the South—a caviller at all
the measures of the General Administra
tion—a man who is for the "Union as it
was," rebels and all—and whose course in
the Senate would be a studied embarrass
ment of the operations of Government.
Sncli is CHARLES R. EUCKALEW, whom
the Republicans of Bradford are expected
to aid in electing to the United States
Senate.
What say you Republican? of Bradford!
Are you ready to be sold toBi'CKALEW to
redress any grievances, real or otherwise,
JGU may fancy you have suffered ? Are
not all the wrongs of which you complain
to be remedied, without becoming a party
to such a monstrous and corrupt bargain
as this ? In times gone by, you have ral
lied to uphold the standard of Republican
principles against the assaults of BUCKA
LEW, PIOLLET & Co. Are those princi
ples less adored by you, now, than when
you uprose to vindicate them ? Is not the
triumph of those principles as necessary
for the welfare of the country, at this day,
as in years gone by ? It is well to talk of
giving up party, and uniting with those
who agree with us in upholding the Gov
ernment, but ho who asks Republicans to
abate one jot or tittle of the doctrines
which have been their guiding star for
years, is false to the cause, and a traitor
to his country. The country is to be saved,
and its future happiness secured, by the
success and establishment of those great
principles for which we have battled in the
past.
Republicans f This is no time to aposta
tize, or give up your principles. The ter
rible ordeal through which the country is
now passing, is to eventuate in a better
and happier state of affairs than ever bless
ed us, if we are true to ourselves and our
principles. Weak and cowardly men, who
are not equal to the times, may give you
timid counsels, but your safety and the
welfare of the country depend upon the in
tegrity and courage of the people. You
need good men in Congress, now tenfold
more than at any previous time. You
want men there, who will not be weak and
vascillatmg, but who will aid the Govern
ment in crushing the rebellion, heartily
and earnestly, and who will favor no
scheme for compromise, which shrill leave
the country liable to a recurrence of our
present dreadful scenes. We need, in the
present emergency, just such men as Gr.o.
LANDON iu Congress.
We ask our Republican friends to con
template the possibility of the election of
BUCKALEW to the United States Senate.
Could a greater disaster befall the coun
try ? During the six years for which he
would lie elected how many vain regrets
would be felt by those who are foolish
enough to aid in his success. GOD pre
serve us from such a calamity ?
We call upon the Republicans of Brad
ford to consider what we have said. If
the proceedings of the Democratic Confe
rence—the associations and actions of
TRACY —and all the concurrent testimony
—do not point with unerring precision, to
the bargain and results we have indicated
—we do not ask to be believed. But we
earnestly request every Republican, who
desires to act so as to promote his princi
ples, and aid his country in her struggles,
to pause before he does that which may be
followed by years of unavailing regret —
to carefully reflect and examine before he
casts a vote which is to help strike down
the Republican standard, and place in the
United States Senate a man whose princi
ples we abhor.
Consistency !
Mr. TRACT dare not deny that be has, dar
ing the past year, suggested to the friends of
Mr. LANDON that that gentleman should he a
candidate for re-election to the State Senate
—adding that he conld easily be nominated.
This was since his vote for the repeal of the
Tonnage 'lax, whifch Mr. TRACY SO much dep
recates, and which is made the pretext for a
coalition with the Democrats, to break down
the Republican cause. Reader, can you see
the consistency of proposing LANDON for the
Senate," and opposing him for Congress ? If he
had betrayed his constituents in the Senate,
was Mr. TRACY standing by them, in his wil
lingness to see Mr. LANDON returned 1 Mr.
TRACY was willing to overlook all the grievous
sins of LANDON, provided lie wouldn't be in his
way for Congress. There is where the shoe
pinches, because TRACY had worked himself
into the idea that ho must go to Congress, arid
that tbe Repnblican party was of no account
unless it subserved bis purposes.
B&" We have heard of 6udden conversions;
I changes in the mind and hearts of men that
seemed as strange as miracles. Usually this
change evidences itself by good works,and we
believe such manifestations to proceed from a
bemticent power, but the strange metamorpho
sis by which a Republican editor,as the Argus
man elaimed to be, can affiliate with his life
long enemies, the old Hunkers, can be traced
to the influence of no good power.
Could Bottom, in the " Midsnmmer Night
Dream," been more astonished when he awoke
and found himself encumbered with an assts
head, than was onr friend of the Argus, who,
finding himself in the company he did most
naturally have felt for the ears, from fear that
the same m ! ~fortnne had happened to him.
If there is something more than a present
obscuring of the vision of enr friend—if he has
given himself solely to the works of these meD,
we greatly fear uiat politically
" Ob. Judge ! Ob, Judge ! thou wilt get thy fairn !
Inh—l they'll roaat tbeelike a herriug.''
TRACY has beeu all summer urging
against SMITH, that he " was not a sound Re
publican." Recent events have shown that
TRACY'S estimate of his reliability was cor
rect.
The Nephew of His Uncle.
The " Bolters" say that there was fraud in
the Republican Convention, and they would
not stand it, and called the " Peoples' Union
Couveotioß," to put HI nomination, in good
faith, true men. Jrnso N HOLCOJTB was chief
mourner on that occasion. He had been elect
ed at an early day to the House of Represen
tatives, by the Republican party, and has been
in office ever since on account of his republi
canism, by the kindness of Rt publican friends.
He has been a standing caudidate for office,
in this couDty, for years, and because the par
ty would not give office to all nio relatives he
ignored the party whose patronage he has en
joyed, and goes in with other disappointed of
fice 6eekers to break the party in pieces. The
"people," in Convention, elected I. N. EVANS,
who ha 3 beeu itching to be District Attorney,
for some time, as Chairman. Ho appoints a
Committee of fifteen to nominate persons for
Congress, &c.—of this Committee JUDSON HOL
COMB was Chairman, and it had been so fixed
by the " peop!es r wire workers," that eight of
this Committee was opposed to JUDSON'S I ncle
TRACY. (But out the Committee went and got
to work. Now the chief mourner had bolted
only on TRACY'S account —he was satisfied with
the County Ticket, hence it became important
that be should piay his hand so as to win for
his uncle. AU.ES MCKEAN was prominent for
Congress, and eight of the Committee were in
his favor, Jcnsox, therefore, had a " hard road
to travel," but he brought to their attention
the fact that MCKEAN had been President of
a Compromise Convention, held in the Court
House, in February, 18G1, in which it was
proposed to compromise with the South, &c.,
and therefore MCKEAN " bad a bad record,"
and it wouid not do to nominate him for Con
gress, but suggested it might be advisable to
nominate him for Representative. This was
ingenious—it took. Mr. TRACY was therefore
nominated for Congress and MCKEAN for rep
resentative. The Committee came in and an
nounced the result of their labors ; the " peo
pie" were taken by surprise • but TRACY and
bis democratic friends (and there was a " right
smart sprinkling" of them) were exultant ; joy
beamed in their faces, while ADAMS, EJ.HANAN
SMITH, & Co., exclaimed, " sold again"—yet
they swallowed it down and go the ticket thus
fairly nominat d " with their might." In the
Republican Convention these men claimed that
the people had been cheated, while here they
atand to the action of this one man power.—
The people chose their delegates in the other
Convention, in this one they elected a Chair
man, who, in fact, made their nominations.—
HOLCOMB came the paddy over them, aud Lav
rug got bis uucle fairly on the course, starts
off to enjoy the emoluments of bis office at
liarrisburg. If the people will stand such
humbugging at this, we will be very much de
ceived.
The President's Proclamation.
We publish onjour outside two proclamations
from the President of the United States, the
most important State papers wliLh have ever
been issued by President LINCOLN. The first
declares that after the first of January, 18G3.
the slaves held in anv state which shall be in
rebelliou against the United States shall be
FREE.
All United Stales military or naval officers
are prohibited, on penalty of dismissal from
the service, from returning fugitive slaves no
matter whom they may belong to, loyal or dis
loyal.
Slaves of rebels are declared free whether
escaping to our Hues or fotiuU by our troops in
districts occupied by Jus, on the ground that
they are captives of war.
Under no circumstances shall a fugitive
ilave be delivered up unless the claimant first
make oatb that he has Dot participated in the
rebellion
The second proclamation suspends the right
of habeas corpus, in certain cases.
We look upon these proclamations as evi
dence that the Government intends to go to
work to crush out this rebellion, by the use of
all the means in its power. The nation will
accept them as an assurance that the days of
the rebellion are numbered, and will rejoice
accordingly.
The enemies of the Government on the con
trary are busy with their most tusidious attacks
upon the President, showering down upon his
head the fiercest imprecations. They will
leave DO efforts uutried to bafile the plans of
the President in his endeavors to crush out the
Rebellion by striking at the mainspring of it.
Republicans of the Couuty approve of
the President's Proclamation ! We know
they are enthusiastic aud unanimous iD favor.
W ill they tbeu vote so as to sustain the Pres
ident, or are they willing to aid and abet tbe
men who are in tbe deadliest hostility to the
President and his plaus ? While the Presi
dent and the nation is advancing shall the
Republicans of Bradford retrograde ? Are
they willing to turn their backs npon all their
professions, and aid, directly or indirectly in
the elevation of such a mau as BCCKALEW ?
If they wish to sustain the President, they
should vote for men, who cordially approve of
the President's Proclamation—if great nation
al considerations are of less consequence than
the gratification of sore-headed aspirants, then
break down tbe Republican organization, and
let the Democrats rejoice in the success of
their plans.
tewr- TRACY says SMITH is not a souud Re
publican,and the Committee of Fifteen wouldn't
nominate MCKEAV for Congress though pledg
ed to do so, because HOLCOMB said " his rec
ord was bad." Yet these men are asking the
Republicans of Bradford to break down the
Republican party to carry out their persoual
schemes.

Record Evidence.
When the statute was passed for the assess
ment of damages along the North Branch Ca
rial, many complained that it was unjust in
some of its provisions. It worked hardships
to claimants in tracing title to their lauds from
the Comruouwealth, and upon an appeal, the
chances were thought to be iu favor of the
Company—no trial by jury beiug provided,
< nly in certain cases. However that fact may
have been, HENRY W. TRACY was claimed at
the time of his election to the House of K p
resentatives, iu 1860, and the people along
the line expected that he would be a friend to
them in proeorinir some legislation to make it
more equitable between them and the Compa
ny. They knew that he had complained of
the hardships of the law, and bad an interest
in common with themselves, and thought they
might expect his cordial cooperation—but it
seems they were disappointed. He had a bill
before the Legislature to accomplish the ob
ject, but for some reason it never became a
law, and many worthy men wondered at it. —
By an examination of the record, it appears
that Mr. TRACY settled bis elaim against the
Company on the Bth of December, IB6o,about
two monhts after, he was elected, for two
thonsaud dollars. This settlement was 1 -t fil
ed until June 24, 1861. The claim of TRACY
& MOORE was settled June 4, 1862, for fonr
hundred dollars, and interest from June 24,
1861, being the very day on whieh TRACY filed
bis settlement. Judgments stand agaiust the
Company for these sums. By the records we
find that TRACY A MOORE owned a small piece
of ground just below the uaru, on the west
side of the river, and get a judgment of S4OO,
for l k > washing of the. honk, being the east end
of about three acres of land.
Now let us see how other claimants, in
Standing Stone, fared. Some of their lands
adjoins Mr. TRACY, and all are his neighbors :
Simons Stevens settles for
John Taylor " " 40
Hi rain Gordon tt.el., heirs of J no. Gordon, settles for fif>
William Grilfis 2f>
li. W. Funis j j -,0
The Van.Vests, in three several cases, settled for SSO
in each case.
These facts speak for themselves. These
clainiauts own large farms, both above and be
low TRACT, but it is not for us to say whether
they got too little or Tracy got too much.—
One thing is certain, Tracy was in a position
where he might annoy the Company—the oth
er claimants, in his neighborhood, were not.
The Company found it importaut to make
frieods with bim—they snccecded. They have
uttered no complaints against him for failing
to pass the law, but cheerfully give him a judg
ment for S2OOO, before his first session in the
Legislature, and he was careful not to file his
settlement until the 24 1h June following !
If any rtber persou occupied bis position,
he would, in the face of these facts, most like
ly talk about " snakes" and corruption.
DON ix.
SS3"' We suppose that when TRACY declared,
by letter c.D otherwise, that SMITH should not
be Dominated for Congress, because he " was
not a sound Republican," he had no idea of
being associated with him upon a bo'ting tick
et, the object of which is to advance the cause
of the Democracy. We think there is no
choice between the Republicanism of TRACY
or SMlTH —notwithstanding TRACY'S opiuiou of
the latter.
Letter from Greencastle.
CAMP OF Xlllth REGIMENT ,
GRBKNCASTLE, Jfept. 27, 18(J2
MR EDITOR:—I shall leave to others the
task of writing the history of the 13th re i.
ment, and the iucideuts of the Militia earn
piiign, but there is oue feature, to which 1 aa ,
fearful the historian will not do justice. } c j
luae to the mousing politicians who have made
such a ludicrous display of cheap patriotism
as to render themselves a butt for the
regiment.
I believe the men who responded to th
Governor's call from Bradford, at least, were
actuated by the highest motives, and
siroos of leaving politics, for the time, behind
! them. But in this they were not seconded bj
the self-coustituted candidate for CJongrej
Mr. TRACY, and his guardian, Col. PioLfer-J
The former, who appeared to be soldieriog 00
his own hook, though he left his deadly 'and
ru9ty) rifle at Harrisburg, followed us to Ha.
gerstown, while Col. PIOLLET, who had unac
countabiy remained at Harrisburg, through all
the peril of the State, after seeing aud confer
ring with his friend TRACY, took the back track
for Tunkhannock. He, however, made his ap
pearauce after we were ordered home, at tbig
place, on Suuday last, and took possession of
his candidate for Congress, and uotiGed him
of the action of the Conference, with the as
surance that " it was all right."
We have in this regiment two companies,
each from Columbia and Mootour, eoutaining
prominent men of all shades of political opin
ion, and PIOLLET has been particularly bu-y
in impressing his democratic friends that the
true policy was for them to support TBACT,
and not nominate a democratic candidate. The
reason urged is that by so doing BUSKALEW'S
chances would be greatly increased for elec
tion to the United States Seoate. The plan,
or near as I can learn, (and the democrats
here do not attempt Co conceal it,) is for them
to vote for TRACY, and endeavor to elect the
Bolters' County ticket in Bradford. Because
they say if the bolters' representatives are
elected, they are in such a position that if they
dare not vote for BUCK A LEW, thej will at least
not be in a position to do him damage.
To carry out this scheme TRACY apparently
lias placed himself in PIOLLET'S hands. PIOL-
I.ET escorts hiui about the camp ; PIOLLET has
anxious ar.u secret conferences with hira ; PT
OLLET introduces h : m to the Co'umbia and Mon
tour democrats; PIOLLET swears we must not
nominate, but must support TRACY ; PIOI.LET,
in fact, is a body-guard, confidant and adviser
of TRACY, who seems suddenly to have fallen
in love with his patriotism, consistency and
honesty I
1 need hardly assure you that to UlO honest
farmers who make up the militia of Bradford,
the spectacle of a candidate for Congress
making such a transparent tarce of bis pa
ir ioti>m, arid such a bold and apparent coali*
tton, is disgusting in the extreme. Besides
t:it-re h is been ample opportunity for a whole
>oll lod, generous man to contribute to the coin
forts of the regiment, but I have yet to learn
if Mr. TRACY has in A single instance made
any sacr.fice of time or money, to aid the gal
lant men who are here iu earnest. If he gets
any votes from the men of this regiment, they
will change their minds hereafter.
We are now under marching orders, and ex
pect to leave to-night for home. The cam
paign, so far, has been a very pleasant one,
and if we reach home without aceiaeut, will
be long remembered by those who responded
to the G jvernor's call A number have im
proved the opportunity to visit the great bat
tle field, and will be able when that battlfe be
comes historic, to relate to their children the
sad sights they saw there.
We are encamped here n a beautiful grove,
about one mile from the village, upon the iden
tical ground where the 6th Pennsylvania Re
serve was over one year since.
Truly yours,
CANTEEN.
REPUBLICANS ! Do you believe that PIOI.LET
k Co, and their cohorts, would support any
body without receiving therefor an eqnivalaut ?
Do you believe they are converts to the prin
ciples of the Republican party ? Before you
