For Commissioner, WM. B. DODGE of To wanda borough, was re-nominated.

Mr. SOPER is one of the "boys in blue," having served with greatcredit in the 141 st regiment. His qualifications for the office of Auditor, are unquestionable, and the se lection is a good one in every respect. For Coroner, Capt. J. H. HURST, of Her rick, was nominated by acclamation. Capt. H. having commanded a company in the 50th regiment, served his country brave ly, and bears upon his person the marks of severe wounds received upon the battle field. We are gratified in being able to say, with truth, that these nominations have given unusual satisfaction. Of their elec toin,there is,of course,no.questiou, but what is better still,the election of candidates has created no dissensions, and left behind no feelings of disappointment. The ticket is universally conceded to be a good one, ju diciously made, and will receive a general endorsement at the polls. HENRY WARD BEEI HER AND HIS LETTER. THE most extraordinary political produc tion we have met with during the last mouth, is Henry Ward Beecher's Letter to the convention of Democrats, and a few sol diers, who recently met in Cleveland, Ohio, projected and carried through by Johnson copperheads to sustain their sinking cause. This production of Mr. BEECHER'S is ex traordinary for its shallowness, and more extraordinary because of the position which its author occupies before the country, as a rampant out-spoken abolitionist, long be fore, and since the war. That one thus sit uated, should suddenly abandon a cause in whose advocacy he has become n> torions, is well calculated to create surprise. But the weakness, the inconsistency, and per verseness of man will not, in all likelihood, cease to surprise man while man lives. Mr. B. has never been regarded as a politician, and never has claimed to be such, only as his pretended anxiety for the freedom of the slaves, identified him with political is sues ; and the ridiculous blunder he has fallen into, is perhaps, attributable to this fact. For had he not gone outside of his calling, and into a business he did not un derstand, he would not now be overwhelm ed with condemnation for his inconsistency, and pitied for his disgraceful fall. Ninety nine out of every hundred of the truly loy al men of the laud, white as well as black, and among whom were the only friends and admirers BEECHER ever had, are amazed at his apostacy, and shocked at the flimsy pretexts he offers as a justification. As an advocate of freedom he stood high, as a de serter of a righteous cause, none is more pitiably dishonored. The letter is a labored one, well and care fully written, and new arguments are aduc ed in it, to prove the Johnson scheme of re. construction correct. We propose to look at some of its points. The second para graph, and the first of the argument runs thus : Our theory of government has no place for a State except in the Union. It is justly taken for granted that the duties and responsibilities of a State in federal relations tend to its political health, and to that of the whole nation. Even Ter • ritories are hastily brought in, often before the , prescribed conditions are fulfilled, as if it were dangerous to leave a community ontside of the i great body politic. Very true, Mr. BEECIIER. SO in society, there is no place for a man except as a member of it; and not only does his incor poration in it,promote the health of the com munity, but a just performance of the " du ties and responsibilities" are essential to its very existence. Suppose however, this individual attempts to destroy the commu nity—nay more, he believes it right to de stroy it, and works to this end. Is his pres ence, or incorporation, then healthful ? And a State in its federal relations, is just what an individual is in civil relations to the body politic. But says Mr. 8., even Terri tories are hastily brought in, often before the prescribed conditions are fulfilled, as if it were dangerous to leave a community outside of the great body politic. If this preacher was better versed in political facts, it is to be hoped he would not give such an untruthful reason for the early ad mission of Territories. The Territories are urged into the Union thus early, because political adventurers, who go to them for this purpose, are in a hurry to get into the Senate of the United States, fhis is noto rious to every politician in the land, and the struggle in Kansas was for the parti zan aid it would give to or against slave ry ; but this bright preacher, and dull poli tician, can't now see the point, poor soul, lie could once. In the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, Mr. B. prophesies that if the rebel States had been instantly admitted, on the assem bling of the last Congress, " the public mind of the South would have been far more healthy than it is." How does he know this ? He knows just nothing at all about it. That is the truth of the matter. He may think as he says, but ninety-nine out of every hundred Union-loving men in the country, 2nd many of them as good prophets as he, and better judges of the facts and surroundings, differ widely from him on this point. Besides, facts, and ex perience, are against Mr. BF.ECHER. Ken tucky, for example, a slave State that has not been out of the Union, and has had, all the time, in full force, its municipal regula tions, and representation in Congress, has to-day, the most restless, lawless, and dis affected population towards the federal government, of all the States in the Union, except perhaps, Missouri. Even Maryland, Tennessee and Delaware, not to the same extent, have much of this vicious element in them. Thcsp are undisputed facts, and none but the purblind fail to see them ; and what do they make of Mr. B.'s fine spun theory ? Moreover, the experience of all nations, establishes, beyond peradventuro, that when a people are broken up by war as the South has been by the the Rebellion, it takes years, often ages ( to smooth down the irritating causes, and the turbulence which follows. But this wise divine has cot known, or lias forgotten this import ant truth (if history. Oh no, according to his theory, only admit to Congress, the reb el scoundrels who attempted to destroy our Government, who ordered our property to be destroyed, thousands of many of the best of our people to be butchered, starved, and whole communities burned and poison ed, and there will be peace at the South. Marvellous doctrines ! The bushwackers, thugs, and rioters of the rebel array, who are driving the Northern men from the South, and hunting down the defenceless negroes, as a class can not read or write, and do not know what the word Congress means, or whether A. 11. STEVENS, ROBERT TOOMBS, SEIDELL, and their compeers in crime, were even in Congress or not, or any other political fact whatever, yet according to this sage Mr. BEECIIER, admit the South to full fellowship in the Government, and its ignorant, lawless desperadoes will, all at once, become quiet and peaceable citi izens ! What a panacea for Memphis and New Orleans butcheries of Union men? This is doubly distilled nonsense, to say the least lawful thing of it. In the next five paragraphs we have an other as profound a disquisition as the one just considered, but it is on the question of allowing the rebels to rule the government. On this point Mr. BEECHER becomes excited, and his indignation and scorn ure let loose at those who fear such an event, with de strvctive effect ; but to us, it appears like a kicking-gun, hitting only the one who fires it. He asks, "Is this nation, then, to be dismembered to serve the end of parties ?" Poor man has taken a dose of copperheads somewhere, and it is nauseating his mental stomach. Has Mr. B. forgotten the import ant fact, that the Republicans in Congress declared, in the preamble to the bill provid ing for the restoration of the rebel States, that it is expedient that the States lately in in surrection, should, AT THE EARLIEST DAY, consistent vrith the future jjeace and safely of the Union, be restored, and that all that hindered immediate restoration,that has hindered it all along, and that hinders it now, was, and is the unwillingness of the rebels to agree to be at peace with us lor all future time. So that any day, during the session of Congress, after the passage of this bill, and indeed, before, the South ern States could have come in, and it was their sole fault they did not come in. Then why this bold falsehood, by more than im plication, that the ltepublicans are keeping the South out in order to keep themselves in power. Shame on Mr. BEECHER'S aposta cy, and on his lies as well. After taking it for granted that the rebels will give us a good government, if they should carry the elections, this consistent divine goes off in hyperbolical extravagance. The bush whackers, thugs, and clay-eaters of the reb el army, " have gone home to preach a truer and nobler view of human life." Yes, we have the evidence of their elevated tone in the Memphis and New Orleans riot s; and the " exalted public sentiments" of the South is seen in the legal devices enacted in the States respectively, to degrade and keep in ignorance the blacks. The new party there, and the only one in existence, is not seeking a new channel, but is follow ing the old democratic one ; and the " new era of liberty" is divulged by WADE HAMP TON, HENRY A. WISE and the liichmond Whig. If Mr. B.'s religious teachings are as shallow and deceptive as his political, we pity his followers. In the last para graph on this particular part of his subject, j where he contrasts the wealth, industry, I diversity, forwardness, productiveness, nu merical force and weight of the Northern and Southern States,he makes another weak, if not a ridiculous proposition, in view of the experience we have had as a nation, by saying, "In the presence of such a con trast, how mean and craven is the fear that the South will rule the policy of the land ?" We will meet the malicious libel implicat . Ed in this interrogatory by putting others. Hid not this same preponderance exist dur ing all the long years the South controlled the policy of this Government before the war ? Has Mr. B. forgotten that the North is divided, and that the South has held the balance of power, and that by means of a union with the pro-slavery half of the North, the South has ruled the policy of the nation in the past, and has allied her self with her sympathies for the same pur pose in the future ? That iq the past this unholy alliance drugged the Government with pernicious measures uutil it puked up a rebellion ? And is this not to be dreaded for the future ? It is mean and craven then, to dread such a rebellion as we have had. It is mean and craven to protect the Gov ernment against disruption in the future. It is mean and craven to dread the butcher ing and starving of our sons, brothers hus bands and fathers. According to the logic of this profound divine, it is mean and cra ven in civil communities to protect them selves against plunderers, arsons, and mur derers, by the punishment of crime. In short, that it is mean and craven to put up guards against any wrong or evil—mean and craven to dread disease and pestilence. Out upon such damnable heresy, and such a fallen and despised apostate. THE GUILLOTINE is at work ! It is no lon ger thought uecessary to hunt up "JOHNSON Republicans" to fill the offices. The Cop perheads are too eager to allow that. The North Orwell Post-office,iq this County was removed nearly one and a half miles,to find a Copperhead for Post-master 1 Mr. JOHN 11. GRANT, the Troy postmaster has been removed, and A. I). SPALDING, Cop perhead,appointed. Mr. GRANT, has made an accomodating postmaster, bqt didn't saiis fy the Cop's because he has always been a radical Republican, We trust that the remaining office-hol ders in this County will be speedily decapi tated, if any Copperheads desires their pla ces. It will be a lasting disgrace in all tirap to come to have solicited or accepted office under this Administration, and a stig ma to have held a place under it. THE CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS. THE Copperhead,or Democratic,or Nation al Union, Congressional Convention, has nominated Hon. WM. ELWEI.L of Blooms burg, as the candidate for Congress, of the party which supports the policy of placing the Government in the hands of the men so lately engaged in endeavoring to over throw it, by war and bloodshed. This nom ination has been made under instructions from Senator BCCKALEW and in defiance of the wishes and personal aspirations of the men in Bradford, who have had longings for Congressional honors. Messrs. TRACY, PIOLETT, and others, have been constrained to give way to the policy of the Columbia County junto, who would neither tolerate a recreant Republican, nor permit the selfish desires of ambitions men to stand in the way of their great anxiety to defeat Judge MERCUR. Against Judge ELWELL as a neighbor and as man we have not one word to say. He has lived in this place for years, and de servedly enjoys the respect of our citizens. Personally, no candidate could have been presented more unexceptionable, and it was probably this consideration which in fluenced the Senator in bringing him for ward as a candidate. We have every rea son to believe that he has permitted his name to be used against his better judg ment and inclinations, after the most ur gent solicitations from those who hoped that his amiability and negative qualities would make him the most available can didate. The very reasons which have influenced the Copperhead leaders to press this nom ination upon Judge ELWELL, and the inde cision and weakness he has shown in ac cepting it, should be sufficient to satisfy every Union loving citizen, that he is the most unsafe man in the District to trust at the present time, in the National Congress. The times demand the election of men made of sterner stuff*. It is no time now to send men to Congress because of their amiabili ty, and because they are made of too plas* tic material to have decided opinions upon great national questions. Judge Ei. WELL'S political career has been distinguished only by the ease with which he has become the instrument in the hands of corrrupt and de signing men in supporting measures, at which we will do him the justice to say his better nature revolted. lie has been a striking example of a man who would do right, if left to himself, who has always been wrong because he has not had force of character and decision enough, to pre vent his being led astray by more positive men. He is one of those " Who know the right—approve it too, Condemn the wrong—and yet the wrong pursue." In Congress, such a man at the present time would be more dangerous to the be6t interests and well-being of the country,than a VALLANDIGHAM or WOOD, because, being led and governed by others, there would be no measures which he would not be made to support, no revolutionary or unpatriotic schemes that the Southern leaders might originate which he would dare to oppose. He would be as wax in the hands of his masters, to be moulded and shaped as they might desire. In this connection, a paragraph from an excellent article we published last week is so apropos that we here insert it : The only danger is that in some representative districts the people may be swindled by plausibili ties and respectabilities; for when, in political contests, any villainy is contemplated, there are always found some eminently respectable men, with a fixed capital of certain eminently conserva tive phrases, innocently ready to furnish the wolves of politics with abundant supplies of sheep's clothing. These dignified dupes are more than usually active at the present time ; and the gravi ty of their speech is as edifying as its emptiness. Immersed in words, and with no clear perception of things, they mistake conspiracy for conserva tism. Their pet horror is the term "radical;" their idea of heroic patriotism, the spectacle of a great nation which allows itself to be ruined with decorum, and dies rather than commit the slight est breach of constitutional etiquette. This insen sibility to facts and blindness to the tendency of events, they call wisdom and moderation. Behind these political dummies are the forces of the John son party, men of insolent spirit, resolute will,em bittered temper and unscrupulous porpose, who clearly know what they are after, and will hesitate at no "informality" in the attempt to obtain it.— To give these persons political power will be to surrender the results of the war, by placing the Government practically in the hands of those against whom the war was waged. " The forces of the Johnson party" in this Congressional district have put forward Judge ELWELL as their " political dummy," and they hope thereby to deceive some well meaning voters iutp. the support of their schemes because he is au "'eminently respectable man." That they will persuade any intelligent voter to vote so as to give them power, we do not believe, and they will find after election, that however much our people may respect Judge ELWELL as a man, they have no respect for the political position he occupies, and they will teach him not hereafter to bpcpme a tool in the hands of (Jopperhead leaders. The Republican Union Conference which meets this week, will undoubtedly unaui mously re-nominate Judge MERCUR, all the Counties in the District having with entire unanimity and enthusiasm declared for him. The issue will then be fairly before the people. Personally, the candidates are equally unexceptionable—both boing long time residents of this County, and equally upright and worthy citizens. Politically, they are as wide apart as the poles. Their past political career, familiar as it is to the people of this county, illustrates their char acters, better than we could portray it.— Judge ELWEI.L has been distinguished for his weakness and vasodilation —sometimes, in the bettor promptings of hie nature,start ing aright, but always checked aud led es tray by controlling influences, which his yielding disposition could not withstand.— While honored as a pitiaen, he never been respected as a politician, Judge MEE CUB, on the contrary has won the respect and admiration of our people by his bold ness and consistency, lie has always been decided and outspoken 011 all the great questions of the day. No doubt has ever been entertained, as to what his sentiments were,on all matters where a freemen should think and speak. Perhaps there are no \wo men in the District, who more eminently il lustrate the difference between a fearless, independent politician and a " political 1 dummy" than the two candidates lor ( on- • gress in this District. , The voters of this District are to decide , this fall, which of these two men they will ] have to represent them in Congress during the next session. It is a question of incal- 1 culable magnitude,not only to the voter,but ] to generations yet to come. Judge MER CUK'S Congressional course is familiar to i all, and is a guarantee of what may be ex- 1 pected of him in the future. Judge ELWELL is the especial candidate of Senator BICKA- I.EW and however plausible or reticent he may be, will become if elected, the supple tool of such men as the Senator. THE PROSPECT IS BRADFORD. During the past few days we have had an opportunity of seeing and conversing with many of the most intelligent Republi cans from all parts of the Couuty, and the universal testimony is, that never were the people so thoroughly awakened to the im portance of the coming election, are so uni ted in their determination to rebuke at the polls, the treachery of ANDREW JOHNSON, and the insolent demands of the rebel leaders. We have made diligent inquiry to ascertain if a single Republican, who has been con sidered reliable in the party, can be found, who now approves the policy of ANDREW JOHNSON. Such a man does not live in Brad ford Couuty. The people are wide awake as to the importance of sustaining Con gress, and greatly excited and alarmed at the recent outrages upon Southern Loyal ists, and the treasonable scheme of the reb el leaders. We can assure our friends abroad that they will hear a good report from Bradford, on the 9th day of October. We have entire unanimity of action, no lo cal dissension agreviances,no disatisfaction with our Couuty ticket, but our people are animated with a strong determination to roll up a tremendous majority at the polls. THE SOUTHERN LOYALISTS' CONVENTION. We have only room, this week, to refer in general terms to the Convention of South ern Loyalists which met in Philadelphia last week. It was largely attended by loy al men from the Southern States, and cre ated the most unbounded enthusiasm in Philadelphia. Presided over by Hon. J. J. SITED of Kentucky, the proceedings were characterized by a freedom of discussion, in marked contrast with the denial of free speech in the late " bread and butter '' Con vention, in the same city. We shall next week give our readers the views of those who have been persecuted for their loyalty to the Union, by the rebels who are now claiming to be the only friends of the Con stitution and the country. THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED. ' The President is travelling through the country depositing the Constitution in the hands of the people. Vermont last week made the first response to the harangues of this political traitor, by increasing the Republican majority 5000 or more. On ' : Monday, Maine spoke in thunder tones, by electing the Republican State Ticket, by a majority of 30,000, being an increase of 10,000 over former majorities. These re -1 suits are a sure indication of the popular s feeling and point certainly to the over whelming overthrow " My Policy" is to re e ceive in the coming elections. UNGENEROUS.—We understand that the I Copperheads have already informed Mr. TRACY that ho "cant run their machine."— They say he has not brought any votes with him to their ranks, and that he shall not make them trouble, as he did the Re publicans. Poor TRACY ! where will he go next ? Perhaps the President, in considera tion for his eniment services will give him a foreign mission ? We recommend him for the next vacant place. THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION. On Monday last Hon. U. MERCUR was unanimously renominated for Congress, by the Union Republican Convention of this county. It is almost unnecessary for us to give this circumstance more than a passing notice, for his nomination for re-election was demanded and expected by every Re publican voter, not only in the county, but in the District. Long before Congress ad journed, the enemies of Freedom, suspect ing and fearing this event, commenced a warfare against Mr. MERCCR, and since that time have been engaged in the pleasant pastime of defaming .and slandering our worthy member. The whole copperhead press of the District have labored faith fully, in this particular, and their energy has been worthy a better cause. The charges brought against Mr. MER CCR is simply a re-hash of the old stereo typed cry raised against Mr. WILMOT, years ago— nigger. Unable to find a sin gle charge upon which to base a reasonable cause for opposition, a great cry is made about "negro suffrage," "negro equality," white man's government," &c., —questions foreign to the matters at issue in the pres ent campaign, and subjects which can in uo wise enter into the present canvass. The question of negro suffrage has nothing whatever to do with politics this fall, and every rational man knows that Congress has no power to make a negro a votc- r in Pennsylvania, and farther, that a negro cannot become a voter in this State until the Constitution is amended, and that the State Constitution cannot be amended only once in five vearq, and that the last amend nient was adopted in 1863, consequently it is not subject to another amendment until 1860. Wny give ourselves any uneasiness about questions that cannot become a pol itical issue for two or three years to come ? Better by far grapple with the issues of the day, and settle t'ueta for the welfare and happiness of our beloved country. The record of Mr. MERCCR, while in Con gress, is before the people, and is subject to the scrutiny and criticism of all. Let any man take his official record and point out the blunders and inconsistencies of Mr. | MEROCR'S Congressional career. All the charges the opposition have been able to ' bring against him, are those cited above— | not a single one of which has a shallow of foundation. His record is clean and can not bo tarnished by his vile caluminators. j That Mr. ME HOUR will receive the nomi nation of the Conference there is no doubt.' \\ ho his oppouent will be we do not know, but looks very probable uow Judge j EI.WEU. will be the man.
