ORGANIZE
The time is approaching when it is
imperatively necessary that the Re
publican party should proceed to
organize their forces and make every
necessary preparation for the coming
conflict. It will not do to stand idly
by the wayside trusting to the justice l
of our cause, and the acknowledged
strength and popularity of_ our
nominees: Many a good and noble
cause has been lost by the apathy and
carelessness of its advocates ; and it
becomes the Republicans, at this
critical period in our nation's and the
world's history, to. be careful that the
cause of human freedom and civiliza
tion in not imperilled by tbeir over
confidence or want of energy.
In this county the harvest will
soon be over, and, it is to be hoped,
the intense heat will have abated its
vigor, and our friends most go to
work and organize their fqrces in
every district. They should form a
Republican club and have weekly
meetings, and there consult on the
best possible means of swelling the
Republican majority. Bradford county
should give Grant at least 5,000 ma
jority, and we khow it can be done if
the proper means be used. It is not
enough that our nominees shbuld be
elected. They should be elected by
such a majority as will send terror
into the hearth of the enemies of free
governments exeryivhere, and settle
for all coming time the question of
the ~ ality of all men before the la*.
To must get out every
Repu an voter.. We must use
every honorable inenns to induce
fairminded Democrat:B to support
Grant and Colfax. And above every
, thing else, we must take • effectual
means to . prevent the polling of fraud
ulent vofes. These things can only
be done by organization. Fellow.
Republicans, organize at once I Let
no stone be left unturned to secure
the grand result. Now is the accept
ed time. Work while it is day. Let
us have a majority. in this county
that will thrill the hearts of all true
lovers of Liberty with jcix.

journal, during the late session of the

That Mr: LANDON voted for Gnleral
CAMERON for United States Senitor is
an unfortunate charge to hririg against
him, at this time. -Is there a Repub
lican in this Senatorial district who
has not congratulated himeelf as to
the result of that electimp If so,
then his perceptions arelper i verted by
prejudice, or he is wofttlly ignorant
of the coarse of our tf. Si Senator.
If the Republican desires tb take is
sue with Mr. Lext)o); on that - vote, we
have no desire to evade! th 4 question.:
Gen. CAMERON'S Senatorial course has
met the approbation of !every Repub
lican paper in the State ] , F•ven those
journals which had hereferebitterly
opposed him, have hat
the - fairness
and magnanimity to come out and
give him the praise he lhae so richly
earned. It is a feeble 1 ' accinsation to
bring against any mart that he was
instrumental in electing SIMoN CAME
RON United States Senator Or if the
Republican objects to the manner of
the support given to Gen. V., then we
say, that under the ciranistances,"•in
our judgment, it was proper and
timely. The Republicari probably
thinks ,he should haver Oted for,Mr.
GROW, without regard Ito ansequen
ces. To this we do not agree. Such
was not our judgmentiatithe time=
and the result and its .ttending eon
sequences have fully 'confirmed our
belief. W 9 will not yield to the 1
Republican, even, in admiration foci
Mr. GROW, nor in a de ire to see him
occupy positions fort which he is I
eminently fitted—butlthe Senatorial
contest which ended in G6neral CAME
RON'S election, was a pechliar one, in
which the people were greatly inter
ested. The success bf Gen . ,C. was
the avoidance of a re sult which look
ed like a public calamity j and as such
it bad our hearty and zealous support.
We are proud to-day,iof Ithe result of
the election—a pride 'Which is held in
common with nine-tenths of the Re
publicans
of the State.
,• Mr. Lama was ne s t, , is the Repub •
limn intimates, " let off from all
important committeetr df the Senate,
except at his own request. That he
was not placed at the I head of the
Committee on Railroa4, was a dis
courtesy on the part of I the Speaker,
certainly, but the reason for which
was well known at iHarrisburg; and
which was no discreeit to Mr. LANDON
—though it may account for the fling
in ,the Pittsburg Gazette.
The Reporter has made no threats
—the insinuation in thetßepublican to
that effect is entirely gratuitous and
uncalled for. We leave all threaten
-ing and preparations for bolting to
others. We shall support the nomi
nee for Senator in gad faith, and
promise him the anal majority in
Bradford, whether it be Mr: LANDON
or some Republicanfrotn Susquehan
na or Wyoming. Our i word _of cau
tion was to our Montrose cotemporary
who seemed to - be lying the gronud
for a possible bolt. is the Republican
1 ready togive its pledge to support
the nominee of the Conference, or are
the aspirants for the o.enatership in
Susquehanna determined en enforce
their desires at the eXpense of the
harmony and integrity' of the , party?
We have but little interest in the
nomination for Seater in this Dis
trict. We are content to leave-it . to
the people, having full) faith that the
nominee will be w orthy of our sup
port, and of the confidence and votes
of the Republican of the District.
1 Any of the gentlenten named, will
make good Senators, and we shall
support them cheerfully, if nominated,
Our judgment is, that Idr. 'fusee);
should be returned, Ifor ; reasons which
we have already gieen. We have a
right as a publit *real, to say this
much, so long as we do not derogate
from the wants oft others. We be
lieve that there` ie a man in the
district—tare mignt, truthfully say in
the State)—who can lie as useful to
the party and the Cana; in the Sen
ate, as Greece Lssasi So believing
we shall be glad to eeeihim re-eletted.
If the people think etherwiee, we
shall bow in cheerful! submisNion to
their verdict.
Bat the question . as to who shall
be Senator is not all that is involved
in the nomination; The attempt is
made to blacken the eputation, and
destroy the character of Mr. LANDON.
Men are not content a i . .obinit to the
decrees of the peoplei but they_ge
endeavoring by insinuations and in
nendoes to create the ;repression that
Mr. LANDON has ban guilty of some
terrible offence, or has become so
utterly unprincipled and corrupt, that
he has " forfeited fair renown," and
is only worthy of tbC appellation of
rogue or scoundrel. jlf this is true,
then he deserves th 4 rehuke of his
constituents, and is i entitled to the

lican advise auch course ? We
opine not. We observe that Mr.
LANnoN is announced as one of the
speakers who ale expected to can
vass the state during the summer to
advocate the elebtion of Gun and
CoLrex. Is it positible that the Chair
man of the State,' Central Committee
would allowsuch an announcement
to be made, withput previous inquiry
into the "
.charges " which the Repub
lican thinks se dieadful and serious?
We have protested against this
way of striking down any man, as
being unjust, :and injurious to the
welfare of the party. We have ev
ery confidence in the honesty, sense
of justice and fair-dealing of the Re
publicans of tlui District, and we do
not believe thatthey will permit any
man to be disgiaced because he is
apparently in the way of aspirants
for office.
liiirON his way home to North
Carolina from the New York conven-
tion, Governor Vance took occasion
to ventilate his t ideas in Richmond,
in the course of which exercise he
said that what the confederacy fought
for during,the war would be won by
the election' of ~,eyntour and Blair.—
"Is it there ye bre,me hearty ?" We
did not know; the conspiracy had
gone to that extent, ; although the
platform and Blair's letter both mean
war, we did not _understand them to
have meant separation. Jeff. Davis
insisted, in his official papers, that
slavery was not the cause of seces
sion, but that there were inherent
causes of separation " between the
North and South Which would make
it finally successful. _We never un
derstood them,and since slavery was
abolished indulged the hope that the
Union was secure. •Governoi — Vance
says no. The election of Seymour
and Blair will establish the confed
racy. Of the* purposes he is better
authority thad we profess to be. We
therefoie believe him.
Stir Gen. (runt, in his letter ac ;
cepting the'nbmination for the Preei•
dency, emphatically says that the
COUNTRY MUSTI HAVE PEACE, and the
sentiment is accepted and applauded
by the whole Republican party.—
Frank Blair, in his letter bidding for
the Vice Piesidential nomination
from theDemocracy,says that as soon
as that party gets into their power it
muse overturn by revolution and vio
lence the lawslof the country, and this
sentiment wt.s so true a reflection of
Democratic intention's, that he was
promptly nominated. Now, we beg
all good citizens, whether Republi-
Cans or Deinbcrats,to calmly consider
these respective positions of the two
parties. Thb Republican party is fOr
peace, justie,e and prosperity ; the
Democratic party is pledged to vio-
lence, oppression and consequent un•
settled condition of the country.—
Which will you have ?
DissATlsFran.—The National Corn
mittee
appointed by the Democratic
Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention at
New York, which adjourned before
the nominations were made, were
empowered to meet and take action
upon - them. This commitee, compos
ed of the leading men of the Conven
tion, ,we learn assembled last Friday
afternoon, find had a very stormy
session, their dissatisfaction with
Seymonr and Blair being almost uni
versal. A resolution to ratify the
nominations was strongly opposed,
and on being brought to a vote was
only - adopted by one majority. Those
who voted against the resolution
declared their determination not to
support the! ticket.
STRIKE.-4here has been a pretty,
general strike, for several days,
among the miners of Schuylkill coun
ty. They demand that eight hours
shall constitute a day's work, and
that their wages shall be increased=
Some violence has taken place. At
operations where the workmen were
willing t 4 continue their labor, they
were forced to suspend and join the
striker. There is but little coal on
hand, and some of 4 the furnaces, it is
feared, have to be blown out.
TIIE tiESIDENT I B MEBESAGE.—The
President,oh Saturday, sent a special
message \ tp Congress, wherein he
recommetids an amendment of the .
Constitution, 50 that the people may
vote direptly for President and Vice-
President, instead' of, as is now done,
through the cumbersome machinery
of NlectOrai Colleges ; and that they
hold offi c e for six years instead of
four. ; and that if both become inca•
pacitated, the Secretary of State and
so on in prder through the members
of tha Cabinet, shall . fill the office of
Presidenttilt another;election be had.
.Ho' also alleises that United States
Senators be chosen directly by the
people,tastead of "by the Legislatures;
and that the Judge of supreme
Court be appOinted for teems of
twelve years instead - of foi life.

few days ago emphatically refused to

and secured the second Once on the
ticket. Of course he will be repiadi

election.
This exttaortlinaq let r of ...the
Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency, we print on o F outside,
that -every reader of the Rirosamt
may see what he proposes to do in
the event of the success of the De
mocracy. It should be read by every
voter, and the legitimate result of the
policy therein proposed well consid
ered. This letter, and the outrageous
Inc of conduct it marks out, is not to '
be taken as the foolish vaporing of
an erratic and •impulsive man. The
Democratic Convention, in the face of
this letter, „unanimously nominated
the writer for the Vice Presidency.—
The rebel Generals composing the
-leadern of the Southern Democracy
are loud in their approval and praise
of this letter, and enthusiastic in
support-of the author, because they
see in his success the hope of regain
ing for the " lout cause" all that
rebellion had so cruelly deprived them
them of. The intelligent voters of
the north will repudiate the infamous
propositio6 made in this letter, and
overwhelm with defeat the party that
endorses the writer,
Who Made the Democratic Platform.
The Convention Committee appoint
ed to dridt a platform and resolutions,
embrace the-following : Wade Hamp
ton, ex-rebel General of South Caroli
na, who was an original secessionist,
raised one of the first Palmetto regi
men ts, devoted his large fortune to
the "sacred cause," fired the Southern
heart on numerons occasions by
publicly declaring • that the Yankees
were simply endeavoring to make
slaves of the chivalry, and whO,after
fighting through the war, refused to
submit, after Joe .tobnson,his superi
or, had surrendered, but ran away
with a troop of horse to South Caro
lina ; William Preston,rebel General
of Kentucky,who had not so much of
an excuse_ for treason as State seces
sion : E. Barksdale; rebel General of
Mississippi ; Charles C. Langdon,
who through the colums of the Mobile
Advertiser, did very much to precipi
tate the - revOlution in Alabama, and
T. A. Bocock,Speaker of the Virginia
rebel House of representatives. The
Committee, likewise, includes such
notorious copperheads _ as Jas.
A. Bayard, of Delaware ; Stephen
Archer, of Maryland, and J. E. Mc-
Donaldf Indiana.
Loyal men of the country, how do
you enjoy the spectacle ? Those of
you who are now disposed to act.with
the Democracy,how do you relish the
prospect of having such charaders
as the above draw up a platform and
declaration of principles for you ?

peace organization during the rebel
lion, - can you now believe that the
organization sympathizes any less
with the rebellion than it did four
years ago?— N. Y. Commercial Adver
tiser.
sir James L. Orr, in his recent
valedictory message as Governor of
South Carolina, takes strong grounds .
'against the folly of attempting to
reverse the prevailing policy of re
construction, and shows the futility
of all efforts to deprive the freedmen
of the right of suffrage. Ho! counsels
• submission to the existing order of
things, and advises the &kith to
make the best of it. For twenty
years Gov. Orr was a leading Demo
cratic statesman in his section of the
Union. For a long period he was
one of the most distinguished mem
bers of the House of Representatives,
and ultimately Speaker of that body.
He went into the rebellion with a
good deal of reluctance ; but once in
he stood among its conspicuous
champions, was a Senatoi from South
Carolina in the Confederate Congress,
and remained 'faithful to its cause till
the final catastrophe, He was always
esteemed a skillful politician and a
wise icounaellor, and ere the rebellion
broke — but had great influence with
the northern Democracy. The opin
ions •of such a man in the present
crisis are entitled to far more weight
than those of such hotspurs as Henry
A. Wise, Wade Hairipton and Robert
Toombs.

—Not ithstandiog the Democracy

soover anything there but "Salt river."
-L-The wont thing the Coppeihead
papers are saying of General Grant is that
- he lis no speech-maker. The Democracy
delight, in bluster.
—The Democratic thermometer in
dicated a startling degree of temperature.
Sol and Seymour combined is• more than
they can endure.
—Denunciations of Grant an d
=Has and cheers for Wade Hampton and
Fort:ist were the alternating courtesies of
the Democratic National Convention.
—Prcihinent Democra l ts in.St.Louis
threaten to bolt the ticket as they can't
stand Blair. Where the Blake are 'best
known they are leatit liked.
—The Cleveland Leader" says : " If
you want to make an Ohio Demoond mad,
say Blair to him. It is worse thlcri a red
rag to a turkey rooster.
—With Seymour's friende burning
orphan asylums, and Blair's friends dispers
ing the " State Governments" of the South,
we are promised lively times in the event of
the election of the democratic, candidates.
—This more polite Democrats would
withdrair Blair, but they dare not Po affront
their Southern friends. Forrest, Wade
Hampton, Wise and Vance want Blair right
where he is, and they will keep him there.
--It took the Democratic National
Convention, three days to nominate a candi
date, but only three minutes to pass a reso
lution.requesting President Johnson to par
don Jeff Davis!
—The Democrats re evidently
alarmed at the inevitable consequences of
the outspoken letter of General Blair, and
the World is laboring with all its might to
explain the way.
--A Western paper says that the
D'emociata in Indiana are so enraged at the
defeat of Pendleton that they actually show
symptoms of apoplexy if a greenback is
exhibited to them.
--When people are drowned can
non are sometimes fired for tho purpose of
raising their corpses. The Democrats have
been firing cannon over Seymour and Blair,
but there is no hopes of gat* their heads
above svats;.
—An old soldier who has lost , an
arm says "I am waiting to see if the un
ple of thiii country are going to elect Hora
tio Seymour, and if. they do I will swear
that I lost; my arm in a threshing machine,
not In defense of my country."
. —Blair is in favor of overthrowing
tke Governments formed in every Southern
State. He is for Nullification first and Rev
olution afterwards. His:, election means
another war, to bring back things as they
stood in 1860.
—Seymour is the.embodiment of De
mocratic hatesand prejudices ,He represents
fully the sentiment that opposed and ob
structed the war throughout ; and has done
everything possible to prevent reconstruc
tion since.
—Frank Blair said to the crowd
which he welt addaessing in New York on
Friday,' " I wish I could groan as well as
you , do." He will have a chance to develop.
his groaning powers on the night of the
November election.
—A New York paper says that
Blair takes whisky for medicinal purposes.
The Hartford Post says': "We are inclined
to think it was " for medicinal purposes"—
to wit, for corns. He was dreadfully corned
all the time he was here."
—Hendricks gave Seymour a first
rate character in his recent speech in the
Senate ; but "didn't think it necessary to
go into Blair," and "hadn't time to explain
what the platform meant." Not altogether
satisfactory, but prudent.
—ln 1861 Mr. Seymour declared
that "successful coercion would be as rev
olutionary as secessioc." His conduct
throughout the great struggle was in accor
dance with that opinion. The men whO
saved the Union want no such man to ad
ministei the government. _
—The Boston Transcript says that;
the New York platform calls to mind a*
remark made by President Felton in the
Fremont campaign : " Stand on the Demo
cratic platform! Why, I should as soon
think of standing on the platform of Jack
Ketch! '
—The Norwich Bulletin, having
read Mr. Belmont's speech, in which. he
charged the expe i nses ,of the war upon the
Republicans, says that Gen. Forrest ought
to have followed in a ,speech charging the
Fort Pillow massacre upon the - "niggers"
who were butchered. '
—The nomination, of Seymour is an
affront to every Unionsoldier, an insult to
the friends and memory of every dead hero,
and an offence to every loyal man. If the
Copperheads can bear the burden they have
just shouldered, no one but themselves can
find fault after the election.
—How will the Democrats, who did
not like to support Chase- because he was
an old abolitionst, relish Frank Blair, who
up to-the time his. brother was turned out
of Mr. Lincoln's cabinet was one of the
most ultra abolitionists in the country. He
is ready to be an abolitionist again as soon
as his personal interests point in that way.
—The Chicago Times—good Dem
ocratic authority—publishes a despatch from
St. Louis, which says that Gen. Sherman,•
on Friday evening, was asked what he
thought of the Seymour and Blair ticket.
The General promptly replied : "It is a
bad nomination, and will be beaten all to
pieces, " Grant will be elected."
—Poor Chase since his fall before
Seyniour's Convention, and his inglorious
rejection by that body, must feel very much
as the dilapidated loafer did when he gave
utterance to the following soliloquy :
"Yen I thinks of what I am
And what I used to was,
I thinks I've thrown myself away
Without sufficient cos." .
—The nomination of Seymour, says
a Democratic paper, will give general satis
faction to the ,Soulitera wing of the party.-- , .
Why should it not? That "wing" has no
warmer friend than Seymour. It is but just
that one whose sympathies were so entirely
with the rebels, during their struggle .to
break up the government, should now re
ceive his reward.
M==l
• . ,
Republicans everywhere, sari
Press,- should understand that; bright
as the prospeot is;'thei must work to
win. There is no pokier' ae fatal to a
party as over confident*. ; , Tow is the
time for RepubliCaris to 'appeal to
their Democratic friends and neigh;
bore. These truths new adinitted by
all honest men of the other party
should not be allowed to be forgot
ten ; :end every Democrat should be
asked to contrast his candidates and
platform with those of the Republi
cane.
But more than this. The Nepali•
cans owe much to themselves. They
'should perfect i
and eitrentl their or
ganization, by 'forming clubs and
committes,and by getting ready their
lists uf voters, including the Demo
crats ind.doubtful.
The inquiries of their .tale com
mittee should be promPtly answered
This Grant campaign must not be
conducted by large meetings, but by
neighborhood gatherings, where the
beat orators should be.invited to
speak. Immense sums of money are
wasted in these grand mass assem
blies, and nobody is conirerted.
The best doduments to circulate are
the Republican newspapers. Long
speeches and• heavy essays are only
read by the few, while the able Re
publican paper, fresh, newsy,and full
of point instructs and enlivens at the
same time.
Remember, Republicans, you must
work to win. The rebel Democracy
will Boon recover from theii despair;
and, like the legions of Lee, after
Meade defeated them at Getysbnrg,
in 1863, will 'reorganize for one last
onset of revenge.
SCENE AT THE DEHOCRATIC CONVEN•
TioN.—The Sun report of the proceed
ings of the Democratic Convention,
contains the following scene :
Pennsylvania, ere this ballot was finished,
went out to consult. She was gone an un
conscionably long time—at least so it seem
ed to the sweltering throng who sat and
stood gasping for breath during her absende.
At length, with staid step and stolid visage,•
she threaded her way back to her seat, and
amid a painfully oppressive silence announ
ced that she cast her 26 votes for the inevi
table Asa Packer. The whole assembly
screamed with laughter.
We .don't exactly see where the
funny part of this joke comes in, but
perhaps the delegates from Pennsyl
vania appreciated it. Ase PACKER as
a candidate, would have been a vast
improvement upon HORATIO .SEYMOTJR,
for though the latter may be a man
of greater abilities and more cunning
as •a politician, PACKER would have
come much nearer carrying Pennsyl
vania. It is said that PACKER might
have received•the nomination had the
• /
delegation been earnestly for him.—
Bnt unfortunately, the frigid Wool).
WARD thought himself the only proper
compromise candidate for - the Presi-,
dency, and had no doubt but that in
due time his transcendent abilities
would make him the prominent man
before the Convention. Then there
was the "weak kneed" Bigler, who
had no idea that a ° ticket 'could be
framed without his name being upon
it for Vice President , ; and the rail.
road man Cass, whose Vice Presiden
tial ambition was known to all. In
this hungry crowd of 'demagogues
' PACKER stood no chance, and be was
slaughtered in the house of his friends.
P*NBYLVANIA STATE TEACHERS' As
socienox.—The. annual meeting of
this body will be held at Allentown,
Lehigh county, on Tues4y,Wednes
day, and Thursday, Aug. 4, 5, and 6.
The State Superintendent has called
a meeting of the County Superinten
dents.of the State, to be held at tar=
risburg, on Tuesday, Friday, and
Saturday proceeding : and it is prob
able that nearty all the County Sw
perintendents of the State will be
present at the :Allentown meeting.
The Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, It S. Jopes of Erie, is labor
ing earnestly to make the meeting
one of the most interesting and prof
itable ever held in the State.
UP, BOYS, AND AT THESS 4 .- --Now 18 the
time to go to work, friends. The is
sue is joined ; the battle is drawing
on. Close up the ranks, and get
ready for the conflict. Guest is at
the head, and will unfailingly lead us
on to victory ; but victory requires
work, and now is the time to begin..
Sar THE new tax bill has finally
passed both houses of Congress and
is before the President for his signa
ture. This bill reduces • the tax on
whiskey to 50 cents per gallon.
—The Pittsburg Gazette says _that,
Chase by giving -his influence in faior of
Johnson's acquittal, got half a vote for
President in the Democratic National Con
vention ; Blair, by writing a letter in faVor
of Nullification and Revolution, got the
nomination for Tice President from the
same Convention. The Chief Justice, it
seems, was only half a renegade, while
Blair went the whole figure.
