Thursday Morning, October 30, 1862.
THE ERECTION-
The excitement ocsastoneu by the late po
litical contest having passed away, and the vo
ters bav : ".cr qnietly settled down to their usual
avocations, we are disposed to address a fe\.
words to the Republicans of this County.
After seven years of unanimity and zeajous
laboring for the success of the principles of
the great Republican party of the Union, we
have lately had the poor spectacle of a por
tion of that endeavoring to overthrow its or
ganization, and leagued with its bittei oppo
nents to carry out schemes which could only
result in disaster to principles. That a large
majority of those who fell off frcm the Repub
lican organization were honest in their act on,
we have no doubt. They look what we be
lieve to be a wrong course to remedy evils, of
which they were disposed to complaiD. We
will not now stop to argue whether those evils
did or did not exist. We will leave that to
the "sober second thoughtof the people
themselves.
We appeal to those Republicans—who arc
at heart attached to the Republican cause -
what good was to result from the election of
the so-styled People's Ticket ? It is notorious
that so far from emanating from the People,
that ticket was concocted by a clique of po
litical aspirauts, some of whom have already
"served out their time" in office, while others
are smarting under a feeling of not being suf
ficiently appreciated by the public. Amongst
all the active participants in the movement
there was not one whose moving cause of ac
tivity was not either revenge, disappointment,
or anticipated office. Those who complained
loudest of dictation and central influence, were
the verv men who would soonest bow to such
influences, if thereby they could advance their
personal ends.
With such men an affiliation'with the Demo
cratic leaders was not only easy but a natural
result. The latter are animated by an intense
dislike of Republican principles, aud bitterly
hostile to those who have boldly aud ably aa
vocated those principles. There is no surer
evidence of a man's usefulness to the Republi
can cause than the bitterness with which he is
assailed by Democratic leaders. This late coa
lition, then, had on the one side for its object,
the gratification of a feeling of hostility to
wards the champions of Republican principles,
on the part of the Democracy. It was fair
for them to form any coalition which had for
its purpose the overthrow of Republican prin
ciples, or the downfall of men who have stood
like a wall against the encroachments cf the
pro-slavery party. If the Democratic party
could overthrow the men who have fought the
battles of Freedom in Bradford and in the
State, so much was gained for them, aud they
did not scruple to accept the aid of professed
Republicans, so loug as no concession was ask
ed for them.
The great cause of the late defection in tld?
County, the inciting motive, unquestionably,
was to effect the election of Uuited States
Senator. The democracy, of course, desired
nothing so much as to defeat Mr. Wn MOT'S
re-election. While it is not to be denied that
styling themselves Republicans in this County,
were ineu who have uever cordially acted in
the Republican organization—men whose mo
tives were selfish, and who saw their interests
to be with the Republican organization, but
who have never been imbued with Republican
principles, nor useful nor active in promulgat
ing those doctrines. Such men, in accordance
with their intense selfishness, have been aspi
rauts for office, and failing to receive the con
fidence and support of the people, have waited
for a time when their treason could be the
most effective towards breaking down the Re
publican party. These men, not coutent with
opposing those more fortunate than they,
would raise their hands to strike down the
principles tlicy have professed to advocate.
The present time was judged to be a favora
ble opportunity to consummate schemes which
have been concocted for years. The Repu'
can vote of the County was weakened by the
volunteers she has offered to sustain our coun
try's flag. A heated canvass for nomination
had engendered much ill feeling. The occa-
sion was supposed to be ripe. Under the lead
ership of able and unscrupulous democratic
leaders, the programme was arranged. The
democratic vote was to be cast for the bolters'
Congressional and County ticket. In return
for this what was the recompense ? Does any
one believe that there was not some under
standing by which the Democracy was to be
rewarded in return ? What did the activity
and exertion of the Democrats for the bolters'
ticket, on the election day, meau ? Why
their undisguised aud fraternal cougratulutious,
when they supposed their plans successful ?
Was it not because they supposed they had
contributed, at least, towards the defeat cf
Mr. WU.MOT'S re-election ?
If the Representatives voted for by tbe De
mocracy had been elected, the people of Brad
ford would have had HU opportunity to become
fully acquainted with the scheme which many
sound Republicans unwittingly aided towards
accomplishing. Knowing that the people of
the County endorsed and approved Mr. W.'s
Senatorial career, the leaders were careful ou
all occasions to deny or evade the direct issue
It. was represented that Messrs. TERRY and
MCKEAN were the friends ol Mr. \V., and oue
of these gentlemeD, we believe, took frequent
opportunity to give personal assurances of bis
friendship for Mr. Wilmot. The issue of the
election has not left an opportunity to test
those professions of friendship, nor allow the
full development of the plaus which controlled
the late defection here, bat the unprejudiced
voters of the County must by this time be sat
isfied that no good results were inteuded nor
could come, either to Republican men or mea
sures.

The shameless lies of The Herald about the
action of the Governors at Altoona-, and es
pecially about Gov, Audrew of Massachusetts,
are thus disposed of by Governor A. in a let
ter elsewhere prir' l. He says: " I did not,
either formally, or informally, directly or in

the Government should interfere with the po
sition of Maj-Gen. McClellan, or of any oth
er officer of the Army or Navy. Nor do I

er explicit.
The Old School Presbyterian Synod of New
Jersey, at their session last week, spoke out
in this fashion of the Rebellion : " That we
regard the continuance, the enlargement and
calamitous proportions of our civil war as a
solemn token of God's righteous displeasure,

for the latter to send through the liues. Af
ter subscribing to the oath i allegiance, he
annouueed his determination t<j observe it in

Judge Smalley, in a decission made last
week in the Uuited States Court at Rutland
Vt., fully sustains the right aud the action of
the President in suspending the writ of habeas

power to any one, and therefore no order of
the War Department can effect such suspen

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
The Election in New York takes place on
Tuesday next. An animated canvass is now
going ou. Gen. WAQSWOKTH is the nominee
of the Republican- party for Governor, .and
IIO:\.TIO SEYMQCP. of the Democracy. The
large preponderance of Republicans in the ar
my makes the result ecmev. hat doubtful, though
wc Lave fxi.h in WADSWOUTH'S success.
In New York city the notorious 1? ERNANDO
V. T OOI> ard his brother B.:N, have Ircen put for
ward by the Democrats for Congress. Both
a.c engaged iu making treasonable speeches,
evidently to try the forbearance of the Gov
ernment.
One ot the results of the late election
is the large taajoi itv given for the Union State
Ticket in Bradford County. COCHRAN polls
5524 votes to 1761 for SLENKEB, being a ma
jority of 4063 votes for COCHRAN*. This result
is due to the anxiety of our democratic friends
for the bolters' county ticket. So anxious
were they to sfcet Messrs. TERRY and MCJXEAN,
that they allowed Democrats to vote our State
Ticket. The Democratic State Ticket was
entirely lost sight of. In some of the towr?s
there were no ballots, and iu others they were
totally neglected.
SSr~ In Washington City the footpads who
infest the suburbs resort to the garroting sys
tem in order to facilitate their pilfer ing. They
steadily approach any luckless loiterer who
may absent himself from home daring the small
hours, and casting a machiue constructed for
the purpose over his head, roughly contract
his windpipe and jugglers, while they gently
extract whatever niouey or valuables he may
have on his person. Crime is advancing in
science and mechanism, certainly.
A UNION force of 200, with one piece of ar
tillery, at Waverfy, Tennessee, were attacked
by SOO Rebels on Thursday last, but com
pletely routed them. The Rebel loss was 24
killed, a large number wounded, and 25 cap
tured. Our loss was two killed and two
wounded.
Tfre New Stamp Duties.
The law in relation to stamp duties, nnder
the law of internal revenue, went into opera
tion ou the Ist instant. The law requires the
lollowiug articles to be stamped :
For a bauk check or sight draft for an
amount exceeding twenty dollars, a two-cent
stamp will be required ; for a promissory note
or draft, (other than sight,) stamps of various
amounts, from five cents upwards, are required;
a certificate of stock in an incorporated com
pany, twenty-five cent stamp ; a power of at
torney, twenty-five cents ; a passage ticket to
a foreign port, fifty cents to one aollar ; mer
chants and shippers have to pay stamp duties
of from ten cents to one dollar on bills of lad
ing, manifests for entry of clearance, certifi
cate of damage, entry of goods at cnstom
bouse, &c.; for a protest of uote or marine
protest, the stamp duty is twenty-five cents ;
on a deed of grant, from fifty cents upwards ;
a lease, fifty ceuts to one dollar ; a protest,
twenty-five cents ; a policy of insurance on
life or property will have from twenty-five
cents to one dollar added to its cost in the
way cf a stamp : telegraphic despatches are
taxed from one to three cents each ; bonds
and mortgages hove to be stamped aecordiug
to their amount, the lowest denomination of
stamp for this purpose being filty cents ; pro
bate of will or letter of administration pays a
stamp duty of fifty cents and upwards, propor
tioned to the amount involved ; while an ex
press company's or "common carrier's" re
ceipt is taxed from one to five cents.
There are heavy penalties for " making,
signiug, or issuing any instrument, document,
or paper of any kind whatsoever, without the
same being duly stamped," and the instrument
or paper becomes invalid and of no effect from
the want of such a stamp.
For every stamp there is a specified price.
The stamps will be supplied by the postmas
ters, as well as by the internal revenue collec
tors, at Government prices, in amounts not ex
ceeding one hundred dollars.

ADVANCE BY GEN. M'CLELLAN.
HARPER'S FERRY, Oct. 26—6 p. m.
lam happy to be able to inform you that
the advance of the Army of the Potomac com
menced this morning,and I have reason to be
lieve that before to-morrow night the move
ment will be general along the whole line,
placing the Potomac in our rear.
At daylight this morning the cavalry force
of General Pleasanton, with four pieces of sr
tillery, crossed the new pontoon bridge at
Berlin, eight miles east of Harper's Ferry,
and proceeded direct t# Lovettsville, iu Lou
don County.
At Lovettsville onr cavalry entered about
8 o'clock in the morning, and the few Rebel
pickets stationed there .led before them in the
direction of Leesburg. The people of this
loyal town, especially the ladies, received our
troops with great enthusiasm, and the Siars
and Stripes were thrown out in all parts of
the town. Many of their tugitive husbands
and sons returned with the cavalry, and the
demonstration was most earnest pud unmista
kable.
Without stopping except to leave pickets
and a guard, Gen. Pleasanton moved on in
the direction of Waterford, expecting to reach
Leeaburg early in the afternoon. There was,
at last accounts, a small force of rebel infant
ry and cavalry tit Leesburg, and there may
possibly have been a fight there, unless they
retreated on hearing of H:3 approach.
Shortly after the cavalry advance had cross
ed, General Burnsldc, with his Second Army
Corps commenced crossing at the sane point,
and during the whole day the brigade was
constantly under the tread of the advancing
columu They proceeded iu light marching
order, though an immense t"uin of wagons
was waiting to follow them.
It was the intention of General Burnside
to rest for the night at Lovettsville aud move
forward ou Monday mon ing, in what direc
tion was not known. The troops were ia
fine spirits, notwithstanding the bad weather,
and cheered most lustily as ihey reached the
Virginia shore.
The troops on Boliver Heights aro also n.a
der marching order;-, and it is thought rill be
in motion to-morrow. It is reported that the
enemy have already retired from our front,
withdrawing their pickets yesterday, apparent
ly aware of our early advance.
We have also tidings, from the upper line
cf the Potomac, showing that active move
ments are alo on foot there. The rebels are
said to have evacuated Martiasburg on Sat
urday.

Tiie Political Raid in Bradford.
The result of Ihe late election in Bradford
County, Pennsylvania, is significant of some
important and somewhat distinguished facts ;
and as the election is now past, aud we can
not be charged with an attempt to influence
it, wc propose to examine the matter briefly
at this time.
Hon. David Wilmot's term as U. S. Sena
tor expires the 4th of March next, ilis re
election cf course depends on the complexion
of the next Legislature. At the late Republi
can Convention in that county, a division
| arose, growing out of the nomination ol Hon
Geo.Landoit lor Congress, (so it issaid) which
resulted in a bolting ticket being put imme
diately in the field, composed mainly of those
who failed to receive nominations at the regu
lar Conveution. The masses ot Republicans,
who thoughtlessly went into this movement,
said it had no reference whatever to Mr. Wil
mot, or his return to the United States Sen
ate, but was designed simbly to rebuke their
State -Senator for grossly misrepresenting
them in certain infamous legislation at Har
risburg. In thia they uo doubt were honest,
but the same compliment cannot be paid to
their leaders—while the former meant it onto
good the latter meant it unto evil. If we need
more than their own confessions and some
what premature boastings to that effect, the
election returns would be conclusive upon the
point. Those returns show that the great
I effort was to elect members of the Legislature
! hostile to David Wilmot, aud one cf their can
didates came within 76, and the other wiihi.i
161 votes of an election ; while the men with
! whom thev were to rebuke Ltutdou fell behind
i nearly 500 votes, and some of their tickets
were defeated by nearly 1000.
Disguise this thing as they may, it is patent
I on the face of it, that it was war upon Sena
I tor Wilmot —a war, too, which had been in
| contemplation and prepa r ation for many years;
! and we were sorry to see so many Republicans
' who were his true friends drawn into it under
the guise of rebuking Mr. Landon.
Let us for a moment view the past Af< w
years ago Mr. Wilmot arrayed hi self against
the insidious encroachments of that terrible
enemy to humanity which is now in armed
rebellion against our Government. But lie
did so, and afterwards refused to abandon that
noble position at the crack of the slave-driv
er's whip—because he refused to lay down and
roll over like a dog for a cracker at the com
mand of his party, that arrogant slave power,
Ln whose way be stood, swore eternal hostility
to him,and its slinks and menials at the North
have pursued him from that moment to the
present time with a virulence ar.d madness un
paralleled in our history. Alas, that Repub
licans who once threw up their hats for the
Wilmot Proviso should now be found in the
ranks of its unrelenting enemies, warring its
author to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.
That the great majority of them designed it
we do not for a moment believe ; but that
they have done it we do believe, and we also
believe they will continue to do it so long as
they continue in the service of such leaders.—
Let the lesson of yesterday be our guide for
the morrow.— Waverly Advocate.
A small Rebel sympathizing paper,
called The American Volunteer, at Carlisle,
Penn., has been suddenly stopped, and its
printing material destroyed by the citizens,
for usiug the mest offeusive language, in speak
iug of the Government—such as this: "They
have, in the face of his threats and persecu
tions, dashed their clenched fists in his very
eyes, and branded him and his turckling, thiev
ing, rotten Administration with the seal of
their condemnation. ' Come out of that
chair, Abraham Lincoln,' is the demand of
the people of this State, mado on Tuesday of
ia3t week,"
The Democracy of this District Badlv
Sold. 3
We feel like congratulating the Democracy
of this District upon the result of the "nice
little arrangement ,T made by Piollette, Buckv
lew & Co. The party was completely sold out
to Trut7 and his clique. They were to sup
port and elect Tracy to Congress, while Tracy
and his friends were to deftat the Republican
Senator and two Representatives in Bradford.
The Democrats did elect Tracy, but Tracy did
not defeat the Wilmot Senator and Represen
tatives The result is the election of a State
Senator and two Representatives W!H> will sup
port DAVID WILMOT for United States Senator.
This is not exactly what the managers bar
gained for. nor what the rank and file of the
party anticipated. When they were brought
up to the ballot box and made to deposit their
votes for a " wool dyed" Republican, they
were told that the bitter dose would be neu
tralized in the defeat of what they were told
was the Wilmot Senatorial and Representa

wire-pullers have been so beautifully foiled,
and their "bargain and sale" failing in the
accomplishment of the nicely arranged plan
we repeat that we feel like congratulating
them upon what they have made by the ope
ration. If they haven't been " badly sold,"
the word has ceased to have meaning.— Co-

In Springfield, this County, within twf-iv# days, and of
Diuther'.a, three children—daughters of Mr*, and Mrs,
O. A. Vincent :
CORA died Tuesday, Sept. 23d, 1862, aged 5 years, 1
rno::ih. and 13 days.
FLORIN'!! died Wednesday, Sept. 24th, aged T years,
r, months and 25 days.
Git ACM died Sunday, Oct. 5 th, aged 8 months.
\7 \ with all their friends, deeply sympathize with Mr.
and .'lrs. V. in this, their deep affliction and great loss.
FI.OKIXE and CUBA were members OF the Baptist Sun
day School in Springfield, where, among other things,
they learned many sweet songs. The beautiful piece be
ginning—
" Shall we sing in Heaven forever,"
wa>. a great favorite with them, and thoujh their sweet
little voices are forever hushed on earth, yet shall they
Far beyond the rolling river.
Meet to sing and love forever,
In thai happy land."
They were buried, side by side, in the same coffin—
" beautiful even in death." May the sweet vision of their
tender faces, as we gazed upon tliem for the last time by
the fading Jijri.t of the setting sun, long dwell ia the
memory of the thrice afflicted parents.and beasastrong
cord, drawing them towards " that happy land " whither
their loved ones have gone !
Bereaved parents ! mourn not th# departed. The feet
of your children can nevergrastray now, for already do
they tread the gold-pa*e<J streets of the city of light and
life. There is uo sin nor pain—no sickness nor care
no sorrow nor death, in that bright clime where their
emancipated spirits now dwell.
Of each cf your children who have " passed over the
river," it may be truly said—
" Marly, bright, transient, chaste as morning dew.
She sparkled, was exhaled, and went to Heaven."
I'ut your trust in that Almighty One who " is oar
refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
IJOVC and serve him here, and then
"A'l.d! you meet your dear lost children,
lu that happy land." H.
Oct. 20.1862. at Ptevensville, AM \NDA K. MATHERS,
daughtei of Solomon and Jane Mathers, aged 3 years,
; mouths and 20 days—died of diptheria.
The leaves were turning yellow when she died,
The little blossoms wore their caps of seed—
And birds that sang of summer eloquent,
Were silent in the mead.
The leaves were turning yellow when she went.
How many joys and sweet hopes with her died—■
Oh. when torn front us. how our hearts were rent,
To lose our darling child.
