JBradfuml fjkportct. Towanda, Thursday, October 18, 1866. THE STATE. Official returns from 40 and unofficial from 26 of the GO Counties in Pennsylva nia place the majority for Geary at 10,261. The unreported official figures will not ma terially change the result, THE RESULT IS BRADFORD. IT is with uo ordinary feelings of pride and gratification that we call attention to the official table of the vote cast in this County, at the late election. It will be seen that Gen. GEARY has a majority over CLYMER of 4043 votes ; while Mr. ME Rent's majority over Judge EI.WEI.I. is 3503 votes. The aggregate vote is 10263, being the largest ever polled in the County. This gratifying result has been achieved iu the face of the most extraordinary ef forts on the part of the Copperheads to de ceive the people and debauch public senti ment. The candidate for Congress was se lected with especial reference to the defeat of Mr MERCUR, by drawing off Republican votes. A long-time resident ot this County, universally respected and esteemed, he had been long enough removed from us, aud upon the bench, to be lost sight of politi cally, and consequently without an obnox ious political record. Added to this, was all manner of misrepresentation not only of the Republican party, but of Mr. MER CER'S votes in Congress, and a lavish use of money, contributed from the office-holders under the National Government. Nor was the Copperhead party without assistance from those who have acted with the Republicans. While we have no knowledge of the defection of a single vo ter who has hitherto been looked upon as a sound Republican, there wore a number of men, under the lead of Mr. TRACY, who have always indignantly scouted the idea of act ing with the Copperheads, but who, this fall threw off the mask they had hitherto worn, and openly fought under the ban ner of CLYMER. Their efforts to mislead Republicans was a signal failure. We do not belive that these men carried with them a dozen votes. The voters of this District have rallied, not for the elevation of men, but to testify their devotion to the principles of Freedom, and their unwavering attachment to the great cause for which they voted for years. They have been inspired with a deep feel ing of determination to sustain the men who in Congress have sought to recon struct the I 11 ion on such a basis as would secure a lasting peace between the North and the South —and with a desire to rebuke the accidental occupant of the Presidential chair. From this purpose neither the threateiiiugs of power, nor the seductions of place, could swerve them, but tliey have spoken at the polls the voice of Freemen. COLUMBIA COUNTY. —The friends of Mr. EI.WELL expected important results in Col umbia and Montour counties, from the ap ostacy of ROBERT F. CI.ARK, and some other hitherto proniiueut Republicans. The re turns show that they reckoned without their host, and that the Republican voters of those counties are not to be led astray at the beck and nod of selfish and treach erous men. In Bloomsburg, where Mr. CI.ARK and .Mr. EI.WELL both reside, GEARY has 1 1 majority Mr. MERUURO —a difference of (50 votes— j.joduced by the defection of 33 republicans, provided every Copperhead voted for CI.YMER, which is not probable. Ihe Republican says " A faction never worked harder—never resorted to such un scrupulous means—never brought stronger pressure to bear upon the men under their employ ; and yet with all these agencies they really did not contiol twenty men be sides themselves! And this is the "influ ence" about which they boast " FTAT" MR. CI.YMER made a speech at Phila delphia just previous to the election, in which he facetiously remarked that he had been upon the " borders of the African dis trict," as lie pleasantly termed these be nighted Northern counties. Whereat bis auditors laughed, as if he had perpetrated a good joke. We should very much like to see the smile which illumirated his countenance as he beard the returns from Bradford, 1 ioga and Susquehanna Counties. Ihe laugh didn t come in, then, not much ! A majority of soOO votes, on the wrong side, is not calculated to excite mirthful emotions. The people of the " African dis trict " arc now even with Mr. CI.YMER. lie had his joke, before election. They, theirs, at the polls. A Washington dispatch to the Phila delphia Ledger says : "Gen. Howard has ordered the rents that have accrued upon the property of JoHeph E. Davis, brother of Jefferson Davis, to be paid to him from and since the date of his pardou papers, which l were issued ou the 28th of March last, but not forwarded to him until early in Septem- - her. The value of these rents is not far ' from $20,000 per annum ; so that, in effect, , Davis receives probably as full, or nearly as full an equivalent, as if the property it self had been fully restored to him. The question of the restoration of this property has been before Gen. Howard for sometime, but he prefers that another, and not him self, shall order its restoration. lam told that the property of Jefl'ersou Davis is also included in the amount held or claimed by his brother, one title covering the whole." tnif The Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, Sixth Au ditor of the Treasury, formerly Member of Congress from Chicago, has resigned liis Auditorship. Mr. Arnold was the life-long friend of Abraham Lincoln, his chief com petitor at the Illinois bar, and was select ed by birn as the historian of his Adminis tration. His appointment was the last one made by Mr. Lincoln. BRADFORD COl .HTY OFFICIAL.

Geary's election as Governor of Pennsylvania, the " Boys in Bl ie" formed a procession and proceeded to the Jones House for the pur pose of serenading him. When the hand had ceased playing, Gen. Geary, who was loudly culled for, appeared and responded to the compliment in the following address: FEI.T.OW-CITI/.ENS : As the candidate and representative of the triumphant 1 nion Republican party of Pennsylvania, i recip rocate your cougratulations, and return yin my sincere thanks for this greeting. It is indeed a noble victory we have achiev ed. We cannot too fervently and too 're peatedly offer thanks to Almighty God for tics new evidence of llis presence in the midst of our national difficulties. The same hand that guided us through the sulfcrings and death of a causeless rebell ion has led us safely through a new and even more tremendous peril. The intelli gence of the terrible overthrow of treason in Pennsylvania—the sublime civic sequal to the c.owning victory of Gettysburg —the second and final surrender of the Rebel sympathizers, will forever and justly settle many disputed questions. It per manently establishes the fact that the Gov ernment of the Unitod States is vested in the American people, and in their represen tatives in Congress assembled, and not in a corrupt Executive. And upon this strong and granite foundation we shall now pro ceed to fortify against the inroads of time and the attacks of treason, the following truths and covenants : "That the Government of the people, hy the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "That cruel and revengeful traitors, de feated in battle, shall not be restored to ruin the country they attempted to destroy. "That when our forefathers declared man capable of self-government, they re jected the heresy of human Slavery, and pledged equal political rights to all r'vir successors. "That hereafter the citizens represented in the State and National 1. -gislatnivs mpst be clothed with the rights of citiz u ship. "That all the agencies of the Govern ment, civil and military, must 1 e j>• •iv r ingly and sternly exercised to [ lotect, vin dicate, and, if needs be, avenge onr op pressed brothers in the South against th • savage persecutions of Rebels who are siiil so impenitent and delimit that even Andrew Johnson fears to pardon tis m ? "That this obligation is as sacred as that which made the Roman citizen strong and respected all over the world, and which stimulates the British Government to day to defend British subjects against oppress ion and persecution, however remote and however rem >rseless : that as we must choose between those who will not yield to the conquerors' terms in the recent in surgent States and those who have fought steadily for the Government and pray for its protection, we gladly prefer tic men who offered tie ir lives tor the llag to tie -a; who continued to scorn and trample upon it." The defeat of the sympathizers a gh treas on, and the overthrow of an abandoned anil ungrateful Executive in Pennsylva nia, opens the whole Southern count.y to the progressive people of the Vug with their ten thousand intellectual and elevat ing agencies, and better than this it s< ■ cures to the resident loyalists, white ai d black, those natural and civil rights pl< dg. Ed in the Declaration of j Independence a d secured by the laws of the land. What Peunsylvauian, who contributed tithe re splendent majority we contemplate with such gratitude and joy to-night will not feel proud that to his vote and to his ener gy mankind is indebted for these pried blessings. Having fortified these great truths against till future d mgers, it is f< i us of Pennsylvania to maintain the for ward position we have so proudly Won Tne result proves that an intelligent people cannot be drive i away from principle by appeals to prejudice. But it fixes the fact that more than all that profligacy and pro scription in high places serve to arouse popular indignation, and to strengthen popular convictions. No ty: ant in unv agi —not even that of Nero, whose iufamy is written in the immortal pages of Seutonius, ever descended so low in efforts to d. baud or reached so high in his efforts to destroy as Andrew Johnson. Strong in the stole: power of a betrayed people, lie stretched forth his arm, paralysing where he could not purchase,and scourging when- he Could not subdue.

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING PROOLAMA TION OP THE PRESIDENT. BY TIIE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - A I'BOC XIAMATIOK : Almighty find, our Heavenly Father, lota been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a peo ple another year ut that national lift- which is an indispensable condition of peace, se curity and progress. That year, moreover, has been crowned with many peculiar blessings. The civil war that lias r< cpiitly been among us, has not been anywhere re opened. Foreign intervention iia* ceased to excite alarm or apprehension. Intrusive pestilence lias been benignly mitigated.— Domestic tranquility has improved, senti ments ol conciliation have largely prevail ed, and affections of loyalty and patriotism have been widely renewed. Our fieldß have yielded quite abundantly ; our mining in terests has been richly rewarded ; and wo have been allowed to extend our rai road system far into the interior recesses of the country ; while our commerce has resum ed its customary activity on foreign seas. These gicut national blessings demand a national acknowledgment. Now, therefore, I, ANDREW JOHNSON, Pres ident of the I nited States, do here by rec ommend that THURSDAY, the 201 li day of No vember next, be set apart and be observed everywhere in the several States and Ter ritories ol tiic I nited Slates by the people thereof as a day ol thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God, with due remembrance that in His temple doth every man speak of His honor. 1 recommend, also, that on the same sol emn occasion we do humbly and devoutly implore Him to grant to our nationa' coun cils and to our whole people that divine wisdom which alone can lead any nation into the ways of all good. in offering these national thanksgivings, praises and supplications, we have the Di vine assurance that the Lord rcmaineth a King forever ; those that are meek shall lie guide in judgment, and such as are gentle shall He learn llis way. The Lord shall giV strength to His people, and the Lord r,! i.. 11 give to His people the blessing oi peace.
