THE STATE CONVENTION.
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.

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<f ; and the copy
of the record proves T hat both the REPORTER and Mr.
WEBB, stand convicted of putting in circulation a false
hood.
We copy this extract from Mr. lIOLCOMB'S
letter entire, that he may have the benefit of
all his specifications of errors against us, as
well as of all the proof he brings forward to
prove himself guiltless of having taken money
from the public treasury to which he was nei
ther in law nor equity entitled.
The only occasion iu which wc have alluded
to Mr. HOLCOJIB'S receiving mileage for walk
ing over from the Treasury Department to the
State Capitol was last fall, and then only inci
dentally, in remarking npou the charges made
against Mr. RAFOKTE. We then "stated the
distance charged by Mr. HOLCOMB at 5l)0
miles. It seems from the publication made by
him that he only charged and received pay for
400 miles. We have no reason to doubt the
correctness of the account he publishes, and
we make the correction cheerfully. The fig
ures we gave were said to have been taken
from the books at Harrisburg. But whether
400 or 500 miles is of iittle consequence. The
gravamen of our charge was that Mr. HOLCOMB
had received mileage as Assistant Clcik of tlie
House, while tit the same time he was drawing
pay as a Clerk in the Treasury Department.
He admits and proves the truth of our publi
cation, but reduces the amount taken from $75
to $6O. He is welcome to the benefit of the
discrepancy. It >\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.

that Consumption had placed upon her its relent'
grasp. She suffered long, hut patiently. Her ami*J!
disposition and blameless life rendered her an objea of
the kind aflcction of ail who knew her. All was dune
that superior medical skill could devise, to arrest the dn
ease, hut in vain. At length, at the.pleasaut home of her
uncle, JOSEPH II MARSH, with a blessed Cbristain hope
and a clear sky, she calmly and confidently laid asidethe
