An error occurred in printing the votes
for this County, by which the name of
JACOB M. CAMPBELL was printed John
M. Campbell. Our friends throughout the
County, in whose hands the tickets have
been placed, will please examine the bal
lots, and if they have the mis-printed ones
they should earefully cut ont and destroy
the tickets for John M. Campbell and sub
stitute votes for JACOB M CAMPBELL.
THE CONSPIRATORS.
The attempt now being made to defeat
the Republican nominee for Senator in this
District, can hardly be dignified by the
title of disorganization. It is simply and
purely a scheme concocted by the Copper
head leaders to distract and divide the
Union men of the County. The originators
of the plot, are men,who in times past have,
been in pretended affiliation with the Re
publicans but wiio long since have thrown
oil' their flimsy disguise and become open
supporters of the Democratic nominees,—
These men while they professed to be in
side of the Republican organization, were
constantly endeavoring to destroy that or
ganization, and when they found that their
efforts were fruitless, and that they were
understood and appreciated by the people,
they came out openly in opposition to the
principles and candidates of the Union par
ty. The pretended Republicans who now
are most zealously opposing Mr. LANDON
supported M'OLEIAAN last fall, or at least j
voted for LINCOLN under protest.
The nomination of Mr. LAXOOX inspired
these conspirators with new hopes. Under
the direction and advice of the Copperhead
leaders they have renewed their efforts to
damage the Republican organization. They
found in Elder SHEPARD a weak and willing
tool. The Elder has been for the past twenty <
years or more ambitious for office. He has
failed in his aspirations, and like most dis- !
appointed aspirants, is now ready for any
movement which may enable him to get an
office. It was an easy task for tiie schem- j
ing men, who would break down the Re
publican organization to persuade him to |
become the tool of the Copperheads. The
latter have no hope of electing him ; in fact
we doubt if they care for his election. Their
hopes lay iu a division of the Republican
party, and in doing such damage as shall
enure to their benefit hereafter. If they
shall succeed in aleniatiug voters from the ;
Republican party, their desire is accom- >
plished, and Elder SHEPARD'S defeat and his j
political disgrace, will not be a source of
regret to them.
It remains for the Republicans of the
Republicans of the County to put the stamp
of reprobation upon their plot, and the act
ive schemers in it. So long as they will per
mit the Copperheads to distract and divide
them, so long they may expect these at
tempts at disorganization. The present is
an excellent opportunity to teach the trai
tors to Republican principles that the Union
party of the County is not at the mercy of
the Copperhead leaders, and not to be be
trayed by their pretended friends. Our can
didate for Senator is a worthy Represent-'
ative of the Union sentiment of the people
of this County. Upon all the great issues
of the day, he represents the feelings of our
people. In the Senate he made for himself
a reputation for ability and eloquence,
second to no man in the State. If the
people desire to be well represented, GEOßGE
LANDON is worthy of their suffrages. It is
their duty, as it is their privilege, to signi
fy at the polls, their appreciation of his
ability, and their determination to sustain
and uphold the bold and eloquent exponent
of their principles.
i
B®. BESLDIJCANS ! Re early at the polls,
and see that every Union Voter is on hand,
and deposits his ballot for the Whole Ticket, j
THE VOICE OP THE PRESS.
We have already published extracts
from the newspapers of some of the ad
joining Counties which show the interest
felt throughout the State in the Senatorial
contest now going on this District. Below
will be found an article from the Waverly
Advocate, the editor of which is a late citi
zen of this County, and a candid and relia
ble man. We ask for his comments the
thoughtful considerat' >n of every Union
voter, who lias any hcsitutiini in support
ing Mr. LANDON.
We also give an article from the Lancas
ter Examiner, one of the most influential
papers in the State, upon the same subject.
The editor Mr. HIESTAND was a member of
the Legislature with Mr. LANDON, and un
derstands the position occupied by the lat
ter in the Senate, and the influence he wed
ded as a member of that body. Mr. HIE.S
STAND was a candidate before the late Un
ion State Convention for Auditor General,
and would undoubtedly have been success
ful but for the military services of General
IIARTRAXFT.
We publish these extracts to show the
reputation Mr. LANDON enjoys throughout
the State, and the interest felt by true men
everywhere in his re-election. Mr. LANDON
when in the Senate, by his ability and elo
quence, made himself a reputation as wide
as the Commonwealth itself, and it would
be a source of universal regret and mortifi
cation, should his defeat now be acomplish
ed, by a set of unprincipled and selfish dis
organizers. The Republicans of the Dis
trict owe it to themselves to re-elect him by
an overwhelming vote, in consideration of
his past services, and of his high renown
as an eloquent and fearless champion of
popular rights.
(From the Waverly Advocate.)
BRADFORD COUNTY POLITICS.
May we say a word ? Of course we may. It is
to lie regreted that the real Republicans—the gen
uine Union men of Bradford county are still di
vided in their local politics—to be regretted thut
any of them feel inclined, from a sense of duty, or
from personal considerations, to oppose any por
tion of the ticket recently put in nomination. If
the Convention did not reflect the choice of the
people, the fault lies away back at the primary
meetings—there is the fountain of the wrong, if
there be one, and there is the legitimate place to
correct it. The ticket put in nomination will, be
yond all peradventure, be elected by a large ma
jority ; and we can see in the warfare made upon
the candidate for State Senator, a manifest and
permanent, though not intentional, injury to the
Union cause and the gallant Union party of the
Keystone State. Have not those, who were dis
satisfied with Mr. Landon's course on a certain
measure while in the Senate three years ago, suf
ficiently expressed their condemnation of the act
already ? can they not see that blows aimed at him
wound him less than they do the great cause which
he and they have deeply at heart ? They certainly
cannot have the slightest expectation of defeating
him. Why then continue the warfare ? Is not
the success of the great Union cause in that state
at this, its most critical time, of vastly more im
portance than warfare upon an individual for a
vote cast some years ago upon a question now ob
solete? No man, ever for a moment, doubted Geo.
Landon's fidelity to his country and her dearest
and most sacred principles of human liberty ; and
since, he is irrevocably before the people, and un
mistakably true on the questions ot the day, we
think it unwise, to say the least, to make a feeble
fight upon him to the permanent injury of the
cause which he represents.
(From the Lancaster Examiner.)
HON. GEORGE LANDON.
The nomination of Mr. Landon for the State
Senate in the Bradford Senatorial District, is one
which it was eminently fit for the Republicans to
make. Mr. Landon served a term of three years
before, and we can bear testimony to his pure and
exalted patriotism, unsullied integrity, and noble
advocacy of the cause of right and progress on all
occasions. A most able and accomplished orator,
who never during his three years in the Senate,
undertook to speak on any of the great questions
which agitated the Councils of the State or Nation,
at the commencement of the rebellion, that he did
not receive the undivided attention of all parties.
And many a Copperhead Senator had cause to re
gret any attempted encounter in debate with the
Bradford Senator. We rejoice at his return to the
Senate because of his great ability, and sterling
qualities as a man and citizen. He will be a great
addition to t :e brains, as well as speaking element
of the Senate, for three years to come. The loss
of Penny, McClure, Bound, Benson, Finney, and
other speakers lias been scarcely made up since
they retired. Mr. Laudon's return will go far to
make up this loss on the Republican side of the
Sena.e.
The Prospect.
From all parts of the County we hear
the most encouraging account of the spirit
which pervades the Republican ranks
The effort of the Copperheads to divide our
I ranks with Elder SHEPARD is proving a
most miserable failure. The people are
rallying to the support of the Republican
l ticket, with the same enthusiasm and una
nimity which has characterised the strug
gles of the past, and which assures a glori
! ous triumph for our candidates one and all.
The attempt to excite the prejudices of the
voters by misrepresentation and falsehood,
| and thereby evade the true issues of the
( day, will not succeed. The men who have
for the last four years followed the flag of
our country in the field—and the voters
who have steadily voted to sustain the gov
| eminent and encourage the soldiers are not
now to be hoodwinked and gulled into the
support of a Copperhead candidate—but
i will rally in their strength, and endorse
| GEORGE LANDON, the soldiers' friend.
Are (lie Voters It end* ?
But a few days now intervene before the
October election. Are the voters of this
County fully alive to the importance of suc
j cess on the second Monday of October ?•
j We urge upon our friends to make prepa
rations for a FULL VOTE ! In the strong
Republican towns of the County, there is
great danger that the votes will not all be
out. Let arrangements be made to poll
every vote. Your opponents will not lose
an available vote. We must be equally
active and vigilant and a certain triumph
awaits us, not only in this county but in
the State.
President Judge,
The Copperheads, after a long and fruit
less search after a candidate, have failed
to find any legal gentleman desirous of the
empty honor of being a defeated candidate
for Judge, and tho Conference endorses the
the nomination of Judge STKEETER. Sensi
ble gentlemen ! But they can't even do
that with a good grace, hut base their ac
tion upon the Tact that he has been a life
long Democrat ! Consistent, in those who
don't believe in bringing politics into the
Judiciary. The Republicans nominated
Judge STKEETER because he is an ablq and
upright Judge, and moreover sound upon
, all the great questions of the day.
Hiding two Horses.
ELDER SHEHARII is illustrating to what
depths of duplicity a candidate must de
cend who attempts, at the same time to se
enre the votes of both Copperheads and
Republicans. The Elder occupies a most
pitiable position. The Copperheads are
claiming him, as standing where every
Democrat stands, while the Elder is en
deavoring to convince Republicans that he
still remains true to the great principles of
the Union party. His case is that of every
man who allows his political ambition to
carry him outside the organization, and
who looks to Copperhead votes for his suc
cess.
J'he l.>ilowing extract is taken from the
Wyoming Ih-mocrat of the 27th ult :
•• .Sine? the nomination of Dr. SHEPARD for Sen
ator, hy the anti Landon Republicans of Bradford,
the Hlttck Re üblicans, fearing that he will also be
run by us, are industriously circulating the charge,
among Democrats here, that he "he is even more
radical on the negro suffrage question than Lan
don." We have the most satisfactory assurances,
from the best democratic authority, that Dr. Shep
ard, fully and cordially endorses the Resident's res
toration policy ; and is content to leave the politi
cal status of the negro where it now is. On these
—the only important political issue in this election
—lie stands where every* democrat stands."
Such is the assurance given by one of
the most disloyal Copperhead papers of the
District, to persuade Democrats to vote for
Elder SHEPARD. What do our Republicans,
who support him, think of this endorse
ment.
We are assured on the highest authority,
by gentlemen who were present at Elder
SHEPARD'S meeting at Wyalusing, last week,
that he was intcrogated by persons present,
as to his views upon the question of negro
suffrage, and that after an effort at eqivo
catioii, he declared himself unqualifiedly in
favor of giving the negro the right to vote,
and claimed that he was as good a Repub
lican as GEO. LANDON.
Elder SHEPARD is not only a traitor to the
party organization, but is ready to betray
the principles he has always professed.—
The Copperheads understand this, and do
not care how loudly he speaks in favor of
negro suffrage. But what say the Republi
cans of the County ? Are they ready to
elect a Senator who is bidding for Copper
head votes ? Are they willing to lend
themselves to the success of a candidate
who is caucusing and conferring with the
Copperhead leaders ? Is not the success of
Elder SHEPARD to enure to the benefit of the
Democratic party ? and what other possi
ble result is it to accomplish. Is any wrong
to be righted hy his election? Is any good
end to be gained ? Disaster to the Repub
lican organization, and to cirrect princi
ples, is all that can be expected from the
success of a man who strikes bauds with
the Copperhead leaders, and is ready to de
ny his former professions to gain demo
cratic votes.
Mr. Tracy's Consistency.
llox. HENRY W. TRACY, is travelling with
Elder SHEPARD, making speeches, in which
he accuses everybody who dou't support
the Elder, of inconsistency, and bitterly
opposing Mr. Landon's election to the Sen
ate. The burden of the Hon. gentleman's
assaults upon Mr. LANDON is, of course, the
Tonnage Tax. Mr TRACY dare uot deny,
that in 1862, one year after Mr. Landon had
voted for the ltepeal oj the Tonnage Ta.r, he
was very anxious that LANDON should be a
candidate for re-election. At that time Mr.
TRACY was very anxious to secure a nom
ination for Congress, and feared that LAN
DON had aspirations for the same position,
or that his friends might bring him forward.
Mr. TRACY thought then that it was due to
LANDON to rc-nominate him, and that he
(LANDON) ought to be satisfied with a re
election !
MESSRS LANDON and TRACY became oppos
ing candidates for the Congressional nomi
nation, when the latter became suddenly
and deeply impressed with enormous wick
edness of Mr. LANDON'S vote, notwithstand
ing he had been anxious for his re-election
to the Senate, and it has since been his po
litical hobby, his stock in trade. The pub
lic can appreciate his consistency. When
Mr. LANDON was in the way of his Congres
sional longings, and he could get rid of
him by a re-election to the Seuate, his vote
on the Tonnage Tax was a trival offence, ea
sily over looked, but when Mr. LANDON be
came a competitor, the offence became enor
mous.
Tlie State Ticket.
We admonish our friends throughout the
County, not to neglect the State Ticket on
Tuesday next. Whilst the offices to be fill
ed are not of the greatest maguitude, yet
the success of the Union Ticket is of the
highest importance. The defeat of the
gallant soldiers, IIARTRANFT and CAMPBELL,
will be the triumph of Copperheadism, aud
will be construed to mean a rebuke of the
Union cause, and will inspirit the hopes of
Rebeldom, We ask our friends to see that
every Union voter has a ballot for our State
Ticket. Bradford is expected to give a
rousing majority for the Union Candidates.
By a little exertion and care it can be done.
UNTOX MKN OK BRADFORD ! Is it better to
defeat the regular nominee of the party,
Senator, by voting for the mongrel candi
date, Elder Shepard, and thereby play di
rectly into the hands of the copperheads
and disorganizes, the very men you have
been fighting for the last four years, or to
stand by the ticket which you are in duty
bound to support ? Can you point to a
Copperhead or disorganizer who will vote
for Mr. LAX DON ? Let those Union men
who are "halting between two opinions,"
consider " whither they are drifting."
The disorganizes are at their favor
ite game of misrepresentation and false
hood. They are asserting that Mr. LANDOK
in his speech before the Republican Con
vention, deired the right of the Constitu
ents to instruct their Representatives, and
claimed that the Representative had a right
to act independent of the wishes of his
constituents, lie said nothiug in his speech,
denying the right of the people to instrqet
their Representatives—nor did he make
any claim that the representative had a
right to act independently of the people.
SOLDIERS AND COPPERHEADS
The word "Copperhead" originaated in !
the army, among the men whose votes are
now asked to defeat the Union ticket. No
epithet so well expresses a soldier's scorn |
as that of "Copperhead." There is a mark- i
ed distinction between the "Democrat" and
the sympathizer who is designated by this
convenient appellation. The Democrat is
a frank, outspoken citizen, who deplores the
blunders of of the party leaders, who de
nounces the violence of JUDGE BLACK, the
timidity of JAMES BUCHANAN, and the silli
ness of RICIIABD VAUX. Nothing makes him
more indignant than to tell him his senti
ments are in unison with the New York
World, FERNANDO WOOD, or C. C. VALLAN
DIGOAM. Such a citizen don't vote the I 1-
ion ticket, sometimes shirks the election
day, and when he goes to the poll he inva
riably scratches his ticket. But when he
gets desperate, he marches directly into the
Union quarters, registers his name, takes a
room, and becomes a permanent lodger.—
"A Copperhead" is precisely the kind of an
imal to make a soldier indignant. He is
never satisfied. He is like JOHN RANDOLPH,
who so hated the woollen manufacture that
he swore he would go out of his way a mile
to kick a sheep. He always feels like
making war upon a colored man if he meets
one. He was excessively McClellanish all
the time MCCLELI.AN lost battles, and espe
cially after he lost his command ; and he
never thought much of GRANT, because he
took MCCLELLAN'S place. He groaned over
a rebel defeat, as he used to sadden over a
Democratic defeat. He believes that BOOTH
was "a handsome young rascal," Mrs. SUR
ATT a saint in petticoats, JEFFERSON DAVIS*
"a stern statesman," and HENRY WIRZ a
persecuted German. lie helped to put up
the Chicago Democratic scaffold ; was
present at the building of the Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and the Long-Ohio platform.
The only place where he was not found was
in the Union Aruij'. The soldier never
meets his returned enemy iu the Union par
ty. He neversees him at a Union meeting.
But if he goes into a Democratic assem
blage, he generally finds a Copperhead in
the chair, or making a speech, or offering
resolutions in favor of Col. W. W IT. DA
VIS. And so the soldier votes against the
Copperhead and his friends.— Press.
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.
If we are to judge from the smiling faces
and contented countenances displayed, in
our vicinity, when it was announced that
SILAS E. SHEPARD had accepted the nomina
tion from the pretended "People's" Clique
but, really, the Democracy, we should say,
'twas just what, if not more, than they
(Democracy) expected. Little knots were
gathered here and there, about our streets
and business places, and gesticulations of
satisfaction, and words of commendation
for the man, who but one short year ago,
they had ridiculed and derided, for the ac
tive part he had taken, in putting down
the rebellion, and in bringing traitors to
justice, semed to be the only order of the
day, and the hight of their ambition.
Strange that such sound men, should so
far lose sight of all manner of consistency
The task of electing their candidate, doesn't
seem to have occasioned much or any con
cern as yet, and they seem to have enter
tained the idea, that the grand difficulty
would be to secure the acceptance of the
nomination ; such was their faith in the in
tegrity of the man they had designed to
"kill with their kindness."
But this they will find, will be the task
they can never accomplish. The Dr., al
though a man possesing much popularity,
and occupying, in the minds of a portion of
the community, a lofty position for sound
judgment and capability, has lost many
admirers and friends, even in his own com
munity, by thus accepting the nomination
of the hocus-pocus, Democracy ; and if he
was a camel, a passage through the eye of
a cambric needle, would not be more diffi
cult than will his election to the office of
State Senator prove, in October next. —
Troy Times.
SYMPATHY FOR SOLDIERS.
The extreme weakness of the opposition
to Hon. GEO. LAXDON, our candidate for
State Senator, is conspicuously shown in the
puerile arguments used by those who cons
titute it. At the same time it is a signal
proof of his fitness for the office. From be
ginning to end, the burden of the cry
against him is : That he voted for a cer
tain measure while in the Senate before.
No man has yet dared to charge him with
corrupt motives in so doing ; and there is
not one bold enough to do it over his own
signature. During the four years of war
no one was more active in favor of the na
tional cause—no one more earnest in de
nunciation of treason and traitors—no one
m ore sincere in friendship to those who had
enlisted. When the question of the right
of soldiers to exercise the elective franchise
was before the people, he was its hearty
advocate. Those who are now so excessive
ly friendly to soldiers, at the same time
were saying, in substance, to them : "You
have no right to vote." Whether these
gentlemen think that men are all fools, or
uot, we do not know ; but we do know that
the intelligent soldiers of Bradford County
are not to be led away by any mawkish ex
pressions of sympathy coming from the
semi-rebels who were for denying them the
rights of citizenship last Fall. Oh, how
liberal they arc to the soldiers. Their gen
erosity is almost unparalleled. We do re
call a similar instance, however. It is re
lated in these words : " And he sheweth
him all the Kingdoms of the World, and
saith unto him ; all these things will I give
thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me."
So, while they have nothing to give, no
favors to confer, this opposition is lavish
of promises. On the Tenth day of October
next they will hear the reply : " Get thee
hence, Satan and we shall hear no more
of Copperhead sympathy for soldiers.— Troy
Times.
WHY Dr. SHEPHABIT WAS NOMINATED-
Many have supposed he was the first
choice of a mass meeting of some sort or
other, but we are informed by a 'Reliable
gentleman" they are mistaken. He says
"no soldier would accept the nomination—
-1 racy had been congressman and was
above little state offices unless perhaps that
of Governor. Elhanan had some of the re
quisites but was too good a fellow to be
offered up—but the Dr. would "go it" and
besides he had had experience exhuming
mummies in Egypt and would therefore be
the best man to rehabilitate the defunct
"People's I'arty." So he was put to the
work. lie probably finds the task as "dus
ty" as exploring among the "dry bones" of
Pharaoh's kindred. If he succeeds he de
serves a medal from the Antiquarian Soci
ety.— Troy Times.
