In our columns appears the call of the Re publican County Committee, for-a County Convention, made in pursuance of the call of j the Stafo Committee, to be held at Pittsburg, | on the Ist day of July next. The Republican , County Committee have wisely and liberally provided in that call for the co operation of all the loyal men of the Couuty. It is no time now for men who cordially agree in sen timent to stand aloof, and cavil about parly names or designations. Names are meauing les c , and of uo importance. The priueiples of an organization aro its soul, and the ends to be attained for the country,should bo its grand object. Tiie country needs now the active and zeal ous co-operation of all the loyal and true men j of the land. Treason lurks in every neighbor- i hood, and spreads its vilo poison at every op- j portunity. More baleful and pernicious still, ' tlie spirit of party exists among the democratic leaders, to such an extent, that the support they should render the government is either totally withheld or given iu away as to be j positively detrimental. The masses of the] people do not share this feeling, and they j should break away from the bonds of an iutol- j erant party, and act with those who are ] heartily for the Government and the coon'rv. ; This call is not intended to include the Cop- j perheads here or elsewhere. It is not expect- i ed that those who place Party above Country will act with the great Republican party of 1 County, while they arc in the " bonds of their | iniquity.*' To the truly and unconditionally loyal men of the State it is addressed. To J ail those who desire to 6ee the Rebellion crushed, and the Union restored to its integri ! ty ; to all who are willing to make use of the means placed in our hands, to put clown the I traitors arrayed against oar flag ; to all who ; sustain the General Government in its rneas 1 vires and endeavors to restore the Union— * without reserve; to all who overlooking minor , questions of difference and detail, are in favor j of strengthening the hands of the Government; and encouraging and supporting oar gallant soldiers ; to ail who would rebuke and over tarow traitors aud treason at Lome, as well us in the rebel states—this call is addressed.— From such it will meet a candid response. The Republicans of Bradford accept it with much pleasure. The County that now has her thousands of sons on the " tented Geld " hrs no small share of interest in the struggle The loyal men of sneh a County, are ready for such action as shall most certainly discomfit and overthrow the few Copperheads we have in oar midst. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. The bolting, disorganizing faction calling themselves par ercdlence, the People's Party, which united with the Democracy last fall, to overthrow the Republicau organization, have issued a call for a County Convention, to be held at this place, to elect delegates to the State Convention at Pittsburg. The leaders in that disorganizing movement, it seems have cot given up their determination of eudeavor ing to build up and strengthen the Democrat ic party of the County, but arc still acting un der the advice aed instruction of PIOI.LET ACo., to carry out the coalition and agreement made last fall. Of course, these men have no hopes of be ing admitted to a seat in the Pittsbnrg Con | vention. There is not an intelligent politician ! in the State who does not understand the dis graceful coalitiou and bargain made last fall, by which TRACY was nominated and elected :by the Copperhead Democracy. The odor of that transaction yet remains. Besides, if ev ery faction in the Stale which chooses to send : delegates to that Convention, should be ad ; mitted, the action of the Convention would be come farcical, and its nominees not entitled to the respect nor support of the people. But what we now particularly desire is to call the attention of the people to this new scheme of disorganization, and to the men en gaged in it, and the motives which actuate them. We. have, perhaps, been too forbearing iu dealing with the chief actors iu this plot —while their organ has been untiringly disparaging and calumniating the true men of | the party. Forbearance has now ceased to be a virtue, and if the public consent to be hood winked and deceived by the professions of as corrupt and unprincipled a set of men as ever banded together for corrupt and mercenary purposes, it shall not be our fault. The Republican party of Bradford, we are sorry to say, has numbered amongst it, since its organization in 1354, men who never cor dially embraced its principles, uor had at heart its success. These men were brought into it, and held for the time being for selfish i and corrupt purposes. The large majority in | which we were as a party, made a nomination at its hands equivalent to an election, and they have professed, and acted, in order to succeed in their desires for elevation. M n who have no higher motives than these, of course, when the prospect of personal aggran ] dizement becomes diminished or totally lost, aro ready to prove recreant to all they have ever professed, and turn round and eudeavor to overthrow the party with which they have acted. This is universally the case in politics, aud will, we suppose, always continue to be.— As our majority in the Couuty was large, of course, the number of expectants was prcpor tionablv great, and disappointment necessarily the lot of a large share of them. Remember ing this, the public will have no difficulty in accounting lor the action of the most active plotters against the Republican party. These men, many of them, do uot hesitate to declare, like our neighbor of the Argus that they have never been heartily Republicans.— They have some of them, manifested a disposi tion for years, to overthrow the organization by combination with the Democrats, and have | specially visited with their opposition, every Republican who has been upon the ticket, I prominent for his consistency and soundness. They have been disposed to be fault-finding, and to cavil at matters of very small import ance, to seek a pretended remedy for which, they were ready to sacrifice the party and its ; principles. The excitement and prejudice engendered by the canvass of last summer, was siezed ■ hold of to effect a purpose which they have had at heart for years. Tho disappointed office seekers fancied they saw an opportunity ; to gain the goal of their desires, by the aid of I democratic votes. The uneasy and restless 1 pretended Republicans thought the time had ! come when the overthrow of the Republican i party was possible. The advisors of these malignant plotters were the Democratic lead ers, who saw that they were to be the gainers ; iu any possible event. Ilence the zeal with which they entered into the coalition. The scenes at the polls on election day, and the eagerness with which the Democracy sought to fau the fires of discord iu tho Republican ranks, disgusted many voters of the People's ticket, and they went home wiser men. The plot failed, however,and the Republican Conn- ! ty ticket was triumphant, over a combination of circumstances such as can never again by any possibility, be arrayed against it. The " sober second thought" and calm re- ; flection, of those voting the People's ticket last fall, who have at heart the success of Repub- i lican principles, has satisfied them, that how- j ever necessary they may have supposed their ! action theD, no necessity now exists for playing into the hands of the Copperheads. The lead ers of the bolting movement, who have never been suspected or accused of being in love with the principles of the Republican party, are doubtless determined to coalesce with con genial Copperheads, to carry out their person al schemes. These men harp about the dic tation in the Republican party, and yet they they submit with a good grace, to tue dicta tion of Colonel PIOLLET and other Democrats 1 leaders. It is a fact patent to every one who watched the movement last fall, that the bolt ers were notified who they must put on their ticket to receive Democratic votes. It is a fact equally patent now, that their Couuty ticket this fall, has already been designated from the same source, and they are expected to comply, or their Democratic allies will boll! We could name the men who have been se lected by the Democracy, to be nominated by the People's Party, if it was necessary—and the deluded Republicans acting in that or ganization are expected to carry out the pro gramme, in order to rebuke corruption and dictation ! A union of electors who have acted in different political organizations is honorable, when they come together because they agree in principle. Such was the union in 1845, iu this County which formed the Republican party. But such a union should be accompanied by an outspoken, sincere and bold expression of the causes which produced it and the results to be accomplished, in order that the integrity of the movement may be seen uud the motives of the actors be unquestioned. A miserable coaii tion for a few petty offices is disgraceful and entit+ed only to public odium, llow was it ! with the coalition last fall—which is expected :to be continued this year? Do the actors I meet upon a common platform ? If so, what jis it ? What principles do they profess ? Have the Democrats given up their cherished | dogmas, or the bolters come to the Democrat lic creed ? Do the conspirators expect to support different candidates for Governor, or can they act cordially together while opposing each other npou Governor? The leaders doubtless could, but the honest portion of the People's Party are destined to act in concert j with men of like political principles, and &up \ porting lh> same candidate for Givcrnor. The ■ idea of division amongst men, who are earnest- I ' ly and honestly seeking to save the state from Democratic misrule, is preposterous, and wyr tßy of men who are cither wilfully blind, or so destitute of every consideration of political morality, as to imagine the masses as corrupt as themselves. R-publicans of Bradford ! Men who have been proud of that designation, who have act ed in the organization, and helped to give the great and glorious majority of the last seven years, what is there now which demands the overthow of that organization ? Is there any thing which should estrange those who have advocated its principles from now rallying around its honored banner, and sustaining the cause of Freedom, which has become the eause of the Country? The principles for which we have fought side by side, we trust, are as dear to all of us, as ever. We know that their success is as essential to the salvation of the country, to the permanaucy of our Repub l:cau institutions and the hopes of a bright fu ture. Those who couusel division now, 6eek vour defeat, and the dominance of the Democ racy, with all the traitorous hopes of a dis graceful peace, which shall rivet more strong er the bouds of the oppressed. HON. G. A. GROWS ADDRESS. We publish on our outside, an excellent and seasonable address from Hon. G. A. GROW, to his constituents. Mr. GROW retires from I Congress after twelve years of faithful public | service, v it h n reputation second to no man in I the country. Tim people of the District which always gave him such large majorities, have never had occasion to regret their confidence in him, aud have been proud on all occasions | to manifest their esteem and admiration for his abilities and consistency. Mr. GROW'S address is seasonable, because it illustrates the course of the men who have supported him, from the day he was first bro't into the field, to the present time. His friends may well feel proud of the record, it shows a consistency of purpose and action almost un paralleled in political history. While many men have proved recreant to the great princi ple which now underlies all politieul.action.tho masses of this district have never for a mo ment swerved from their integrity. The glo rious banner which for so many years has " Braved the battle and the storm,"' still floats as proudly.as ever, bearing the same inscriptions, and iu every contest the same ral lying cry goes up, to enspirit and encourage the friends of Freedom! Who shall now give back one inch, when victory draws so nigh, and when the country demands so emphatical ly that every patriot shall be true ! Mr. GROW retires from the field he has so adorned, but he is not lost to the sight of the nation. The gallant champion of our princi ples, who has been so ready in every arena to meet the enemies of our country, deserves and will retain a nation's gratitude and admiration. That he will long be allowed to enjoy that privacy and rest, which arc now indispensable to his health, we do not believe, but we shall look for his speedy recall to new scenes of use fulness. fiigf From a report published in a Pittsburg paper, it appears that not a barrel of petrol eum had been landed at Pittsburg three years ago. Within that space of time 2,000,000 barrels have been delivered on the wharves of that city. The value of this quantity unrefin ed, amounted to $3,000,000 ; when refined $17,000,000 ; two-thirds of the quantity was refined in Pittsburg and its vicinity. There arc 00 oil refineries in that city, in which GOO persons are employed, aod which, in buildings and apparatns, represent a capital of $1,000,- 000. In these refineries 1,200,000 bushels of coal are consumed annually. The Rebels have a large force at Washington, N. C., and it was supposed that Gen. Foster would attack thetn about the 31st HOLCOMB ON MILEAGE. Mr. JiDSON* HOLCOMB appears in the Argus of 26th ult., with a long letter in " reply to WEBB," which contains the following : Now as to the assertion made by the B-ad ord REPORTER and so often reiterated by others, and lastly by Mr. WEBB, that 1 had " taken pay as Chrk of the House for 51)0 miles travel, when at the sane time he [l] was hold ing an office worth about $lOO per month." The act of 1855 made it my duty as assistant clerk of the Hnu-e, to attend for ten days at the opening of the session of 18'iO. and fixed the compensation for such ser vice at three dollars per day, and the usual mileage. I performed the duties faithfully as the law required, and npon consultation with the heads of departments, ihey decided, that as I received no mileage for traveling from Towanda, my place of residence, tc Uairisburg, and as 1 would have been compelled under the law to come there, I was entitled to mileage, and 1 accordingly made my account as follows, which is a true and correct copy of the account on file in the Auditor-Generals ci lice, viz : Commouwealtli of Pennsylvania. To J. HOLCOMB, Dr. To 10 days' service as retiring assistant Clerk ) of House of Representatives, sessiou 1884, j $OO,OO To travel 400 miles circular, 15 cts., CO ,00 The abo7e account is correct. $OO,OO E. 11. Keren, Clerk 11. R. Auditor General's Office,! State Treasury office Jan- Harrisburg, Jan. 10, JB6o | uary 21,1800. Approved, j Approved, JACOB FRY, Jr., | Tuo. NICHOLSON, Auditor-General J for ELI 6I.IEER, St. Trs. For the justice of the foregoing account 1 have the approval of the accounting officer u the Commonwealth acting under oath who knew all the fact\as not the distance charged that makes the culpability and dishonesty of the transaction ; to have taken $l5 from the treasury would not been mere outrageous in principle than the amount he actually did re ceive, and the public will fail to see the nice distinction he endeavors to make. We call particular attention to Mr. 110 l COMB'S excuse for this charge. If he had not resided at Ilarrisbnrg, he says, he would have been compelled to come there to open the ses -ion. Certainly : and then lie would have been entitled to and should have drawn mile ' age. But unfortunately for his defence he had been for some time reading in Harrisburg, as a Clerk in the Treasury. Will he deny that for the very ten days charged in his bill above he also received pay as a Clerk in the Treasu ry, amounting to about $3O more. Wouldn't the pay he received from that Clerkship, for the ten days In was opening the session of 1300 have been sufficient mileage? The excuse he gives for this grab into the Treasury, is the common one with all public plunderers. We should not have noticed this matter had not Mr. II >nco\i3 gravely charged " that both the REPORTER and Mr. WEBB stand convicted of putting in clrculilion a falsehood " He is very careful not to state wherein the falsehood consists. The account he publishes proves that what wo stated was substantially true We repeat that lie is entitled to the benefit of the discrepancy in the distance. It matters not whether he charged 400 or 500 miles for travel he never performed. The turpitude of the transaction is the same, in either case, and a charge of falsehood brought against any one will net avert the disgrace of the matter. Mr. IIOI.COM B sets himself up as a conserva tor of tire political morals of the County. The j Republican party of the County has become too corrupt for his association. He has head er] and brought about disorganization, because his over-virtuous scruples would not permit him to be associated with men who were po litically dishonest. lie has a much higher idea of his political incorruptibility than his ; associates in politics for the last few years ; ' and we do not believe the public look upon ! him as immaculate. But we will leave him to ! the attention of our friend WF.BB, who has a I bluut way of speaking truthful things. ALL HAIL ! CONNECTICUT! After an exciting canvass, Connecticut on Monday last, elected the entire Republican union ticket by a majority of 3000 ; three of the four members of Congress, Republicans, (one gain,) and a large majority of the Legis lature. The Copperheads had great hopes of succeeding in the State, but the people have I risen in their might and rebuked their treason- j able utterances. —ln St. Louis the Emancipationists had j n glorious victory, on Monday. They have 1 elected C. J. Filley Mayor by over 1,500 ma- ! jority over the Copperhead, and by 3,000 over . the Conservative Emancipationist. The Ad- j ministration is supported handsomely. Jefferson City also elected a Radical Eman i cipationist Mayor Monday. And to this magnificent record, we must i add thut in INDIANA, where townships elec tions were held Monday, we have on every j hand most gratifying gains for the Uncondi- j tional Union cause, I THE LATEST WAR NEWS. Public interest centers now at Charleston. The innuendoes, hints, and rumors enrrent for weeks have foreshadowed an attack as pretty sure to be made about the first week in April. Dispatches from Fortress Monroe say that Charleston papers couGrra the report of on attack by the Union Army aud Navy upon the city, but they contain nothing which in dicates the strength or movement of our for ces. They are also silent with respect.to the result of the movement. The Government had received no official information in the matter, but expect news very soon. A dispatch in a Richmond paper dated Charleston, April 2, (Thursday), says that up to that time nothing had been beard of the attack, nor had there been any landing in force on any of the adja cent islands. The dispatch discredits tbo sto ry of fighting on John's Island. The Argus is endeavoring to earn the moncyjwith which it was bought last fall.byvile abuse & falsification of prominent Republicans. Almost every issue of that sheet contains an attack upon Hon. DAVID WILMOT. As Judge WILMOT is out of politics, as well as out of the reach of his enemies, these attacks only show the depth of malignity entertained by the Ar gus and its correspondents. What frood end is to be attained by persis j tence in assailing Judge W i'lmot, perhaps the J colc.ru around the can tell. I< it be | cause of the faithfulness and ability with i which he has advocated Republican principles? j Is it because of the confidence placed in him jby the people of the County ? To our mind these attacks show the hollow-htarteduess of j the professions the Argus clique has heretofore I made of attachment to the Republican party They assail him because they would endamage the cruise lie has so ably advocated. They j would destroy public confidence in him, be ! cause they would overthrow the principles I which he has so consistently held. The public tuny see in the s e continued and nricalled for attacks the motives and feelings which underlie the bolting Peoples' movement They are intense and but half concealed ha -1 tred of the ptinciples for which the Republican j party has battled for the past few years, and | a feeling of dislike and jealousy towards every : man in that party who has been conspicuous for his zeal and consistency. This feeling oi hatred and jealousy has festered in the bosom of the leaders for years. Instead of endeav oring bv their labor to merit and gain the cou i faience of the public, they liuve brooded over their hatred, and scut a poisoned shaft when j ever there was aa opportunity at the men i whom the people have honored and trusted. ; These malcontents are now check-by-jowl will) ; the Copperheads in a scheme to overt:,row the Republican party. Their long pent up hatred ; finds free scope in villifying Republicans.— The company they have chosen is congenial to i their feeling. For one we do not feel disposed j to forbid the banns of that union which is certain to be consummated. Both Houses of the Pennsylvania Leg* islature have adopted a resolution to adjourn ;on the 15th of April. The sooner the better. It is said by those who know that the present Copperhead House is the most corrupt body that has ever convened at llarrisbnrg. ! £!rii Slttocrifsnnnus.
