IS THE TO.VNAGE TAX AX ISSUE I
The disorganizing, bolting clique, who
have again renewed their efforts to demor
alize and overthrow tlie Republican party
of this county, arc frantically howling
about the Tonnage Tax. These Rip Van
winkles who wake up occasionally from
their sleep, seem to forget that the world
pioves on, and imagine that the dead and
forgotten issues of the past, are still of
public interest and importance. They ap
pear to ignore, or fail to comprehend, that
great and living questions are pressing up
on the public for solution ; questions which
involve the future peace and prosperity of
the country. Their narrow vision only al
lows them'to see matters which they hone
may be used for their personal aggrandise
ment, and the furtherance of their selfish
schemes.
The momentous struggle of the past
four years ; the great questions which are
still to be settled ; the mighty changes in
the political world ; the future destiny of
the nation—are matters which seem to be
of little consequence to the demagogues
who hope by coalition with the Copper
heads to defeat the Republican candidate
for Senator. They would be willing that
the sufferings and labors just ended should
he lost if their personal ends could be gain
ed ; and at a time when the Union senti
ment of the North should be consolidated
and-united, they strike hands with the ene
mies of their principles, in pretended oppo
sition to a measure which is not an issue,
' and which cannot, possibly, in any manner,
be affected by the result of the election.
The Tonnage Tax is a matter not at is
: sue in the pending election. It was repeal
ed by the Legislature, some years since, and
! no serious attempt • has ever been made to
disturb the action of the Legislature. It
was a question, which at the time, owing
to its magnitude and importance, excited
considerable interest, and occasioned a
wide diversity of opinion, but has been ac
quiesced in by the people of the State, as
settled. Many of the best men in the Com
monwealth, of all parties, regard its re
peal as a proper measure. Portions of the
State were unanimously in favor of the re
peal. There is no probability of any at
tempt being made to disturb the law, and
the men who are now bawling about Mr.
LAXMN'S vote, know very well that a bill
to again impose the tonnage tax would not
receive a dozen votes in the Legislature.
Republicans ! be uot deceived by the cry
of Tonnage Tax ! It is only an excuse
used by worthless politicians to effect sel
fish ends. Your votes this fall for Senator
cannot have any reference to this question.
It is not in the remotest degree involved in
the election of Senator, nor can it by any
possibility be influenced by the result.—
There are other and graver issues at stake, \
which demand your serious consideration. '
Upon all these is not GEORGE LAXDON
prepared to carry out your views ? Where
could you find a more worthy and able Rep
resentative of the feelings and wishes of !
the people of this District ? Is he not
sound upon all the great issues of the day ?
Has he not the ability to forward the prop
er settlement of those questions ? In short
is nut GEOBGE LAXDON just the man
you desire should represent you in the Sen
ate of Pennsylvania ?
Letter from Hon. George Lantlon to
Dr. Silas E. Sliepard.
The following letter explains itself, and
any comment of ours is unneccsary. In his
attempt for notoriety, Elder SHKPARD has
" caught a Tartar," Mr. LANHOX treats his
impudent proposition as it deserves, and lit
erally Hays alive the " Administration can
didate for Senator." His Copperhead asso
ciates will unquestionably sympathize with
him, but the public will appreciate the cas
tigation administered to the disorganizes
HERRUK. September 21, 1865.
Dr. S. E. SHKPARD— Sir : —1 received, yes
terday, a note from yourself, containing tin
following proposition : "After having care- |
fully examined all the tacts and docunu-n's
relative to your official acts and exception
al political sentiments, I have concluded to
propose to you to hold joint meetings, and
thoroughly examine the ground of com
plaint against you before the public." The
proposition, sir, is decidedly cool and quite
condesending on your part, and my reply
is brief, prompt and frank.
The documeuts which you have so care
fully examined are open to every man, my
official acts and political sentiments have
been fully before the public for years, giv
ing every individual ample time and oppor
tunity to form a deliberate conclusion.
These "official acts" and "exceptional
principles " I have discussed with different
persons before large crowds, have spread
out my views thereon through the papers,
have spokeu boldly respecting them in a
majority of the towns in this county, hav
ing nothing to conceal, but even challeng
ing investigation. On the 4th inst., as
you arc aware, the Republican Party in
Convention, assembled at Towauda, well
nigh unan mously intrninated your humble
servant for a seat in the Pcnn'a Senate,with
equal unanuiity this action was confirmed
by the Conferees of the district Think
you these gentlemen acted ignorantly and
without any acquaintance with my "offici
al acts ?" The public have had these mat
ters under thoughtful consideration and the
result of their convictions is partially man
ifested and will be fully so on the Second
Tuesday in October. With this, my dear
Doctor, lam well pleased. The argument
is closed, the case now goes to the jury. If
however, you have any additional light up
on the subject, I pray you, let it shine
forth. The land is before you, summon the
people and if they wish to hear you upon
these matters they will respond.
With all candor and personal respect,
allow me to say for myself that I have no
more discussions to hold upon these mat
ters. I leave them to the judgment of the
public, and shall not spring to the rostrum
in self-defence at the whistle of every new
pledged aspirant who may wriggle and
fiutter and dare the world to thrust great
ness upon him. My famous vote was a
god-send to little men, furnishing an occa
sion for frothy harangues about frauds
never perpetrated by the voter, and assum
ed virtues never illustrated by the speakers.
Its projectile power was truly wonderful,
surpassing the most celebrated ordnance
for it whirled one mass of mental and mor
al iuertia clear from Standing Stone to
Washington and may be able yet to shoot
you to Ilarrisburg,though the second burn
ing of the same powder is apt to be ineffect
ual and quite insipid.
But, sir, while you are examining the
"ground of complaint against me" suppose
you give a passing notice to your own po
sition. Allow me to aid you in this good
work. The Republican Party under the
lead of our late martyred President fought
the battles of the country against Southern
traitors and Northern sympathisers, and
for four long, terrible years held aloft the
flag of our nationality till victory perched
upon the standard and peace smiled upon
the laud. To this party you have claimed
to belong, a confessed union man, an avow
ed friend of liberty and a herald of that
righteousness which exalteth a nation. So
far 'tisfwell. Thus appeareth this side of
the picture, now look on that. On the 24th
| of last month the so-called democrats met
| at the State capitol and then and there re
| solved in the following language :
"The men and the party administering the Fed
j eral Government since 1801, have betrayed their
| trust, violated their sacred obligations, disregard
-1 ed the commands of the fundamental law, corrupt
ly squandered the public money, denied justice to
| the people, perverted the whole Government from
its original purpose and thereby have brought on
untold calamities upon the country."
These men, deliberately proclaiming such
infamous falsehoods, as you well know,have
denounced the war as an abolition crusade,
denominated the proclamation of emanci
j pation an unparalleled usurpation, they
! have caricatured the President and jeered
the soldiers as "Lincoln hirelings," boasted
they owned not a dollar in U. S. bonds and
swore they would never willingly furnish
men or means to push the contest ; they
| boldly hint at repudiation, and are to-day
from the lakes to the gulf plying the arts
of strategy to regain lost power, and if
successful, Heaven pity the land in general
and the holders of 5-20s in particular.
To accomplish their schemes in this coun
ty it is necessary, if possible, to distract,
disintegrate and demoralize the Republi
can Party. With that party united they
have no hope, if divided, expectation lifts
its head. Accordingly they case about for
a tit subject to play the stool-pigeon while
they twitch the wires of division, and lo !
Dr. SHEPARD falls into their embrace with
all the gracious delight of the harlot that
swoons into the arms of her paramour.
Alas tor the inconsistency of men ! Doc
tor, lam done with yon. If the patriotic
and intelligent republicans of this district,
after truly, and almost unanimously nomi
ting myself shall vote me down at the polls
or aid their enemies to accomplish the same
result, so be it, they will find ine hencefor- j
ward, as hitherto, the advocate of justice ,
and liberty, and, unlike yourself, 1 shall
not plunge into disorganization because the
minority cannot rule the majority.
When you reach the Senate by your back
door arrangement, in the distribution of
public favors, please remember,
Yours, GEO. LANDON.
Are You Assessed !
The law requires voters to be assessed at
t n days before election. Consequently j
next Saturday will be the last day. Our
frauds should louk to it that no votes are
lost by neglecting their duty.
See that the returned soldiers are assess
ed. Many have lust their residence, during j
their term of service. Their perils and tri- j
als in the field will be of no avail, if they
neglect to be ready to meet the rebel sym
pathizers at the ballot box.
Votes! Votes!
We have printed a full supply of tickets
fur the Republican Candidates. Our friends
throughout the County are requested to
pin -nt'e the a i at any early day aud have
tlii iii cut aud folded for the second Tuesday
of October.
THE OCTOBER ELECTION.
It is now but three weeks to the election;
and what lias been done, in this county, in
the way of preparation for it ?
We do not make this inquiry, because
there is or can be any doubt about our
county's ticket. The election of that is
I certain, beyond peradventure. In fact,
there would have been no opposition to it,
if (here had been no other interest at stake.
But we have a State ticket, and it is of the
utmost importance that we should poll a
full vote for it. We want to see that tick-
I et triumphantly elected, and the way to do
I that is to rally every Republican and Un.
j ion voter to the polls. Bradford is looked
| to for a rousing majority for it, and our
friends throughout the State must not be
| disappointed.
That majority, however, cannot be got
by folding our arms and letting the election
take care of itself. A big majority cannot
be had without a full vote ; and full vote
1 cannot be had without organization.
We must, therefore, have an effective or
, gauization in every district in the county,
iat once. There is no time to be lost
: Whatever is done, to be well done, must be
i done now.
We have urged this plea, so often, in
times past, that we knew precisely how
much arguing it takes, in times like the
present, to bring up our party friends to
the work, and they must not blame us
therefore, if we seem pertinacious in press
ing it upon them.
" Eternal vigilance is tlie price of liber
ty." It is not enough to have beaten the
enemy thoroughly last year. We must
beat him again this year, aud next, and
every year to come. He is the same ene
my to-day, as before, the same in essence
and spirit, however differing in form ; the
same foe to freedom ; the same hater of
humanity ; the same opponent ot reform
and progress ; and thesamedirty panderer
to the baser passions of human nature. —
The enemies of our cause are always vigi
lant, and we must meet them with equal
vigilance.
We trust, therefore, that in every elec
tion district our party friends will immedi
ately take measures to effect a working,
active organization. They know well
enough how to do it, for they have done
it often enough in days gone by. Their
right hands have not forgotten their cun
ning. All that is wanted is a disposition
to work ; and let them remember, that, no
election was ever successfully carried by
anj' party that was too lazy to work. Or
ganize ! Organize! ! ORGANIZE ! ! !
Elder Sliejiaid's Speech.
The bolter's candidate for Senator, Elder
SILAS E. SHEPARD addressed a public meet
ing in the Court Ilouse, last week. We
did not hear all the Reverend gentleman's
address, and consequently shall not per
haps be able to do entire justice to his ef
fort. We understand that he commenced
his remarks by a violent attack upon the
REPORTER, and a bold announcement that he
did not fear it. This part of his remarks
was certainly uncalled for. considering that
his name had never been mentioned in our
columns. We suppose, however, that the
Elder was in fear that he might not be
thought of sullicient importance to receive
attention and was determined to prTivoke a
notice by his falsehoods and uugentlemauly
remarks.
As far as we are concerned, we shall not
gratify the Reverend gentleman's vanity
anil self esteem by any retort ; but that
part of his remarks we did hear excited
our contempt for the speaker, and our pity
for his want of judgment, and the display
of his lack of the christian graces. It is
the first time, in the political history of the
county, we have ever heard one candidate
accuse another of crimes, which if proved
would consign him to the penitentiary.—
Common decency and ordinary courtesy,
should, should have told Elder SHEPARD,
that such charges as were contained in his
speech of Tuesday evening, could do him
no good and Mr. Landon no harm.
This outburst of the reverened gentle
man's spleen was made after full consulta
tion with the Copperhead leaders of the
County, and seemed to gratify them great
ly. They composed the greatest share of
the audience, and of course were pleased
as they always are, with vituperation of
true Republicans. We shall {leave the El
der in the company which he has chosen,
with the simple comment, that it is pitiful
| to see so many years of political ambition
and longing for office, culminate in such
a miserable failure, as the Dr. will now ex
perience.
fiST One of the favorite reasons given
by the Copperheads and their allies for
denouncing GEORGE LANDOX, has been be
cause he was a preacher, and should not
meddle with politics ! These same gentle
men are now very earnest in supporting El
der SHEPARD ! We suppose their excuse
will be that he never was much of a
preacher.
80k A locomotive belonging to the North
western Railroad exploded in Chicago on
Saturday, instantly killing two persons and
fatally wounding several others.
CONSISTENCY-
This is jewel which the "bolters" claim
to belong to themselves peculiarly. Not
that they consider because they bolted
three years ago they must do so again,
when they are unsuccessful in a nominating
convention. We would have our readers j
understand no such thing. Consistency in 1
"bolting," it is true, they might reasonably j
claim. Hut this is not what they mean by
the term They certainly would nut con
sider that because the South "bolted" first,
the Charleston Convention and then the
government, they should, for consistency's j
sake, "bolt" again in 't>B, if they do not j
elect a President. What they undoubtedly
wish understood when they say they "can- !
not consistently support Mr. LANDON," is, j
that that gentleman's principles being the
same now as three years ago, they would j
he inconsistent to support liirn now. Is it i
so? When the question of the tonnage
tax repeal was an issue in the Legislature
the charge of corruption was sweeping and
general. Senators and Representatives
from all parts of the State were included
in it, for members from all quarters sup
ported it. Nothing has been or can be ;
proved against Mr. LANDON which would
not be true in many Counties in the State.!
Why is it then that in this County alone j
the fight is still kept up. ANDREW G. CCR- j
TIN gave this bill bis approval. The evi
dence implicating him is ten times more
strong than any against Mr. LANDON ; and
yet no man lias dared to charge him with
improper motives. During the heat and
excitement of last gubernatorial canvass
no one thought of charging this upon him
as a reason for not supporting him. No
Republican of Bradford County was culled
upon to support him, for this cause : It
did not occur even to the teeming mind of
i the gentleman who presided over the "Sliep
herdites Mass Meeting." "Consistency"
| did not require an opposition to Gov. CLR
! TIN. Does it necessitate a striking hands
with copperheads now ? Union men voted
i for Gov. CURTIN and the simi-secesh went
against him. For the same reasons Union
men will vote for GEORGE LANDON. The
old political hacks who lead the "Shepherd
ites" are mistaken if they suppose they can
I induce loyal men in Bradford County to aid
the opposition in overthrowing the Union
party. They count without their host when
j they expect soldiers to act with and in aid
of the men who denied them the right of
i suffrage. Men who have fought rebels in
the field are not to be deceived by mock
I expressions of sympathy. They have seen
too many "State rights men" not to recog
nize them at the first glance. They are
! too "consistent" not to oppose with the
| ballot what they have met and put down
with the bayonet.— Troy Times.
THE WIRZ TRIAL
Another medical ollicer of the Anderson
ville prison named Dr. Hopkins gave in tes
timony at the Wirz trial Friday. He also
presented a report he made in conjunction
with I)r White, 011 August Ist, IBf>4,point
ing out the horrible sufferings of our men,
the want of attention that should have been
paid to them, the unhealthy condition of
the camp, and recommending such changes
in the diet and discipline as would conduce
to the health of the prisoners. This report
was presented to General Winder with the
signature of Dr. Hopkins alone, but it did
not receive any attention from that official.
Dr. 11. said he did not know who was to
blame, but Oapt. Wirz had immediate
charge of the camp. Judge Advocate Chip
man presented an order of Winder to show
that the Richmond authorities were aware
of the existing state of things, and that
Gen. W. had power to apply a remedy
A shipper of supplies at Americus testified
that he did not think they were ever out of
bacon or meal. The provisions were the
same as were given the Confederate army.
Another rebel surgeon gave a picture of
the condition of the stockade, and of their
dying from starvation and cold. The said
Dr. Stevenson in charge of the hospital had
been found guilty of embezzelling the hos
pital funds, amounting from SIOO,OOO to
$150,000. A Captain Wilson said he, with
others, were confined in a small room, and
would have died from starvation if they had
not bought provisions,
During the trial a witness detailed some
of the barbarities of Wirz, which he wit
nessed. One of them was the shooting of
his comrade, whilst in charge of a dead body.
The prisoner not only did this, but took all
the money of his .person. Wirz was told
to stand up before the court ; upon doing
which the witness recognized him as the
one who had killed his comrade. Wirz
endeavored to contradict the man, but he
was prevented. He sank down in his seat.
On being told to arise again he had to be
supported, but when the witness again
identified him he fainted away. The des
patch says that it is probable he will not
live to see the end of the trial.
JJgy* The Lr/kens Valley (Dauphin county)

" From a personal acquaintance with Mr.

compelled to leave the State.
