POLITICAL HERESY.
° A few weeks since Rev. GEO. LAti
nos (we believe the gentleman still
adheres to the sacred title, although
he has sadly "fallen from grace" and
denies the good old doctrines of
ikVEsLy,) was advertised to speak at
Leßaysville, on a subject in which
every one is interested, viz.; "The
Daly of the Citizen." Desiring in
struction, and hoping the back
sliding elder had repented 'of `his evil
kvays, we hied us over th% hills and
through the vales to the ''heaatiful
Village of Leßaysville. At the ap-
Pointed hour a goqdly number c in
' negated in'the Mdß. Church, and
;the gifted and once popular and
trusted orator mounted the pulpit..
The subject had evidently received
no small amount of thought and
'preparation, and was divided under
proper beads like an' orthodox ser
mon. -,After assuring the audience
i that he was not a candidate for any
'office, he opened his - discourse by re
;ferringto the finances ; his cunning
'wait displayed on this point. Hoping
Ito win back those whom he had basely
,betrayed, he took the popular side of
the money question. After dwelling
Int considerable length and - with a
Igreat deal of truth (the devil can
! quote Scripture), he landed at the
,point he was all the time aiming at:
'a thrust tat the Republican party.
The manner in which he referred to
the corrupt practices resorted to
. by
politician's, seemed—l - 6, :satisfy every
one tb t he was no stranger in Ven
ice. His warm and pathetic appeals
to his hearers to. throw off the party
'yoke and be independent,
.elicited
,froml an intelligent old gentleman . .
ithe
_query, 'Would men be honest
;then?" Another gentl4man seated
Inear us whispered to a neighbor, "1
'guise . Dicerca is thinking about
ktztonnage tax." Bat as Mr. LANDON'
;piously informed us on the occasion
that none but the poltroon ,resorted
I to perionalities, although :his efforts
'always abound in personal slang and
I use, we will' try and confine our
selves to an answer to ;his mischiev
ous
and specious argar'cient..
i He boldly asserted that there is
, now no difference between the two
parties. Every intelligent man and
woman present know -the assertion
Ito be false. If the Republican party
iwas abandoned and the Democrats
lagain in power, how long would it be
before the four millions of colored
'people _made free by the lamented
LINCOI,N would again be in a condi
tion little less galling and degraded
than' they were before the war ? Do
if he acts If the "white leagues" of
,the South which are - defended and
nc - olaragecl by the Democratic party,
sustain the assumption that all par
ties accept the situation, and are
filling to conform to the new order
of things?
There are other grave and mo
mentuous questions upon which the
Parties widely differ : .The protection
Of labor, the repudiation of the public
debt, or refusal to pay the bonds in
gold, regulation of railroad freights,
&c. •Ur. LArmox-well knows that the
Democratic partY, whatever they pro
fess, always vote against peotection
Co the-educated labor of this country.
while the Republican party favors it.
The Republican party is in favor of
l aying the bonds of the government
io gold, according to contract, . while'
the- Democrats say they should be
paid in greenbacks. Last winter when
oi l proposition was introduced in Con•
gress, declaring that it was the duty
of Congress to regulatefreight
charges and prevent the ruinous and
exhorbitant rates adopted- by the
•
great companies, nearly - every Dem
oerat in the House voted against the
Ooposition. And yet. this Reverend
gentleman has the audacity to stand
b e fore an,are
audience and
soy there are no lines of demarkation
between the two, parties !
He then proceededlo say all that
epublieanism now means is to favor

dnArcr, like Biscxo's ghost, was eon

that GLINT was not payiu,g off the

days when that, gelitlellakti was wont

lican who refused to render Lim sup
port
S. , V 1 . ALVORD
AnothEr reason why tLe Republi
can party should be abandoned was,
that it had fallen into. the hands of
corrupt men, who _had so firmly fas
tened' themselves upon the organiza
tion that it was impossible to shake
them off. Mr. LANDON forgot that
his own history was a refutation of
the Bald falsehood. When a party
has the4oura?e to diseard a man of
the poi er and personal magnetism
which Mr; Los once possessed,
and which, had he remained honest,
and faithful to the interests of the
country, would have placed him in
the
,highest position in the gift of
the people of the State, it will avail
nothing before a Bradford county
audiencelolassert that bad men can
not be put down and replaced. by
honest men. The Republican party
is composed of different material
from, the Democratic. Its members
are intelligent, and _quickly devine
the motives and characters of their
public servants ; and although cor
rupt . men may, and sometimes do,
foist theMselves upon the party,lhey
are soon detected, and no matter how
able and how eloquent they are, they
are cast aside. - No one knows this
fact better than Mr. Imicnox.
While the address as a literary pro.
duction was one of the 'ablest efforts
of Mr. LANDON, it failed to elicit any
applause froth an audience that once
Would have made the " welkin ring "
while listening to such eloquent ut
terances ; but LANDON has deserted
the principles which he once professed
to hold dear, and his power with the
people has gone. •How are the mighty
fallen !
The doctrine ho advanced on the.
occasion in reference to abandonment
of organizations, is the vilest politi
cal heresy, and if adopted would ruin
any people. The Republican 'party
is worth sustaining, and all the de
ceptive and specious argar4nts of
disappointed and corrupt political
hacks in the country cannot swerve
the patriotic and honest masses from
allegiance to it. As well say the
Christian religion can be upheld
without a creed, or battles success
fully fought without an organized
army, as to reason that no party or
ganization is necessary in carrying
opt the machinery of government.
:Onl: f y about two weeks more remain
before the November election, and it
becomes every earnest republican to
be "up and doing," to:the end that a
fall vote may be polled. An hour's
- quiet talk with a lukewarm neighbor
will, do more to arouse him to an
earnest support ofjhe ticket than a
dozen stump speerches. Mass-meet
ings impart enthusiasm to organized
bodies and keep them active in the
good work, but a personal canvass
by the right kind of men makes con
verts !and thus, adds to the party
strength. Every town and borough
in the county should haveits Repub
lican organizations. Brea of charac
ter, those who possess the entire
confidence of the community, should
be the leaders and workers in these
organization. A thorough canvass
should be had of the Voters in the
didrict. The politic.; of every man
ihOuld be known. This-can be done
by' subdivisions small enough to
enable those appointed Co , make
a 'Complete personal canvass. The
Strength of ;the partyi should be
known. Every- voter on 'the 3d of
November should be brought out.
Work from now until the close of the
ballot-box as if the success of the
party depended on just one vote.
This is the way to win great victo
ries. To remain inactive : presuming
on the popularity of the ticket or the
former strength of the party, is to
invite defeat. 'We can not have too
lame a majority, we may through
inactivity lack one vote of a triumph,
'Organization, hard work, devotion
to the good cause for which we labor
will crown out efforts with success.
The National House of Representa
tives Must be kept in loyal hands.
To lose' control of it- is to again
expose the life of the nation to the
deadly assaults of its enemies. It is
the, key to the political position and
must be teld by the friends of free•
dom and humanity.- The defeat of
LATORTE would contribute toward the
downfall of the Republican party, in
the nation. See to it that Bradford
gives him such a majority as will
rejoice the loyal heart all over the
country.
IN the person of Hon. - TaIITE{OLO
IIEWLIPOLTE, onr candidate for Con
gress, we have an honest 'incorrup
tible man, wit° will watch well the
interests of the whole people. He' is
a working man and will never go

country. He will be elected by a
large majority.—Tunkliannock Repub

It is seldom we find 50 mooch
practical sense and truth in au
as is contained in the followieg
in regard to the Beamtorship in this
district. There is - so much disposi
tion nowadays to ignore the old
Wahl4ngtoLian doctrine, "Principles,

happPna to be nominated by the op
posite party, that we copy the aiticle
from the Elmira Daily Advertiser
ana heartily commend it to the care
ful attention of every intelligent,
thinking reader. If there was necet,-
sity for the organization of the Re
publican party, there is the same ry
cessity for sustaining it ,new.
the Democratic party changed? If
so, in What ? They still proclaim un
dying hatred to the colored race ;
whenever opportunity presents they
encourage their brethren in the
South, to resist the lawful authority
of the government, and they gloat
over Milani and white-leagne Out
rages with the same satanical satis
faction they
_manifested whenever
the rebels met with success during
the war. ThOy are in favor of com
pelling the laboring men in Ng conn•
try to compete with the ignor.:ut
pauper labor of England. In what,
then, have they improved? In noth
ing. The party is the *same negro
hating, ram-loving, disloyal organi
zation it was in 1860, when Fort
Sumpter was fired upon. Its record
is one of crime and shame, and the
Republican who advocates the elec
tion of any 'than who believes in the
doctrines of the Democratic party,
may, with a good dal of propriety,
"be watched." If tie author-of the
letter referred to has - heretofore acted
with the Republican party, we ven
ture the assertion that he is either a
discarded Oce-holder, or a disap
pointed office-seeker. Bat here is
what the Advertiser so well says:
" A gentleman at Troy, Pa., who
claims to be a, Republican, writes a
long commttnication to the Advertiser
advocating the election of Delos
Rockwell, Democrat, to the State
Senate. In a private note he takes
pains to assure ns that he has no
" mercenary motive's in the matter
whatever." Without this assurance,
that idea would not have occurred to
us. With it, wo think the Troy peo
ple had better watch him. As for
Mr. Rockwell, we have not the Honor
of his acimintance. His fame is not
so extensive as to have penetrated
this regipn, and therefore we are dis
posed to take with some grains of
allowance the high panegyric of the
back-sliding Republican who has "no
mercenary
~motives ". in rendering
him his support. It is enough for
us to know that Mr. Rockwell is a,
democrat,'the candidate of the dem.:l
°antic party for a representative of -1
nee, in the discharge of the duties of
which, though personally a guileless
saint or an angel - direct from heaven,
he will be obliged as an honorable
man to represent And stand true to
the tendencies, doctrines, purposes,
necessities, and candidates of the
Democratic - -party. Against all these,
as matter of principle, the Advertiser
is irrevocably and irreconcilably 'ar
rayed. Ho who calls himself a Re
*publican or a Democrat, and votes
indifferently - for the candidates of
either party with reference to repro
sentative:pesitions, either lacks woe
fully in conscience' nd principle, or
has but a poor conception of the im
measurable difference between the
tendencies, purposes and principles
of the Republican ,and Democratic
parties. A democrat, chosen to Con
gress, will be: - the instrument of that
party, 'nolens volens,„in every attempt
which it shall make to undo the work
of the past font teen years. He will
be the ally, willing or unwilling, of
Southern White Leaguers and every
other wickedness and abomination
which hang upon the skirts of the
democratic party. Stainless personal
character will 'be no bar to his par- -
ticipation in the deepest political
sins. No intelligent, heartfelt, con
scientious Republican, in the present
crisis, with eyes wide open to the
danger and the wrong of such an
act, would vote for his own brother,
a emocrat, for a seat in Congress.
If, then, a Republican, able to dis
tinguish the'difference between right
and wrong, and having " no mercen
ary motives " to draw him awaYlroin
his knowledge of—the right, would
surely refuse to vote directly for a
Democratic Congressman, low can
he justify himself for a vote indirectly
given in favor of the election of a
Democrat to the 'United States Sen
ate ? No, no, good friend from Troy,
you are on the wrong track. Yon
are a man who ought not at this day,
after haying been a Republican for
fourteen years, to grow faint-hearted
and shim weariness by the way. The
man Rockwell maybe all yon paint
him. Bat the:political Representative
Rockwell is a Democrat, and Democ
racy is poisbn and death. You can
not allay its venom by drawing it in
through a harmless medium. The
stuff, itself will kill, and yon must
keep away from it or you are a dead
man. If you. have read these lines
deism to this point you'have probably
conceived some faint- idea that the
Advertiser will not become your in
strument to aid in the election of a
democrat, be he Delos Rockwell or
Holy Moses, to the State Senate of
Pennsylvania. We are for the other
man dead certain every time. You
may count 'upon that just the same
as you may upon the contribution
box or the ressurrection. It is one
of those thinks which are "fixed: It
is a point upon which we are, if yOu
please, stubborn. There are some
things, which you might induce us to
do against our inclination,
but thisja,
not one of them. So please carry
your wares to some other market.
Bat don't deceive yourself with the
idea that you can vote the democratic
ticket and do a service to your coun
try. Yon can't take strychinne and
count with much certainty upon life.
You can't give stones to little children
and realize that it will nourish them
as bread. You can't sugar coat your
pill so thick as to neutralize the Ac

in there all coiled up and ready to
spring. It may be ever so beautiful
to the eye, ever so, _smooth to the'
touch, ever so sweet as you lay/ it
temptingly on your tongue, bat when
you get down to the meat and mar
row, of the nauseous thing itself, it-is
just the same as though its . outside

to account for it,.and to 'avoid
war England would have been cotn
pelted, so far as 'possible, to right the
wrong. She would have been corn
pellud to puniili theguilty
malefac
tormalefac-
tor:'to pay damages to the wounded
and to the fatnillies of the slain for
the injuries inflicted. And on the other
hand, had these sixteen colored men
-13,:sen subjects of-Great Britain, doing
lawfril business in Tennessee, and
this greivons outrage, had been com
mitted, our Government would.have
been pi omptly , called to account by
England, and we in turn, to avoid
possibly a bloody war, would have
been compelled to do the same justice
which, iu the reversed position, I
have already said we would have ex
acted from England. ti
"But these sixteen colored men
being simply ' American citizens,
peabefully pursuing their avocations
on Ameriban soil, have no right ac
cording to the Democratic dogma of
local government to call upon the
United States for protection. ^ The
position, then, to which the'Demo
°ratio doctrine reduces us is simply
this: That if an American citizen is
the victim of an outrage on foreign
Soil, our • Government will vindicate
andi avenge him; or if the subject of
a foreign government has an outrage,
inflicted upon 'him on our soil, our
government, by its international ob=
ligations, mast go all lengths to re
dress the grieveance, but an Ameri
can citizen, on American s soil, must
not expect the General Government
to intervene or protect him, no mat
ter how terrible the outrage to which
he may be subjected.
"For myself I do not so read the
duty' and power of Congress under
the Fourteenth Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States—
the very purpose and intent of which
was to extend to every citizen, how
ever humble and poor he may be,
the amplest and fullest protection
and vindication against any wrong
to his person, that the local govern
ment may be unwilling or incompe
tent to redress. Let us not abate
one jot or tittle of the protection we
extend to our own citizens when on
foreign eoil, but let it be understood
as the fundamental principle of the
Republican party, that -the safest
place for an American citizen is
under the folds of his own flag, on,
his ovin soil—and that there, high
and low, rich and poor, black and
white, shall alike have absolute
and impartial protection. 'Until that
is settled definitely, affirmatively and
irreversibly, no other political issue
can possibly, be so vital and import
ant to the United States."
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
A glance at the proceedings in . the
Quarter Sessions of last term will be
sufficient to-convince any one of the
great importance of securing at the
coming election a sound, reliable
manior District Attorney. Violators
of la* - are anxious to have an offi
cer who will look with some. degree
of favor upon the transgressors of
one of the most salutary and whole
some laws upon the statute book.
Having failed in their efforts to se
cure a repeal of the local-option law;
their aim now.is to procure the con
nivance of the prosecuting officer in
escaping the just punishment of their
law-breaking. In JOHN N. CALIFF,
the Republican nominee, we have a
man possessing all the reqttisites for
the responsible position. A good
lawyer, 'a careful, systematic business
man, the public can rest assured that
the duties of the office will be faith
fally and , fearlessly discharged by
him, if elected. 'Mr. CALIFF has never
before been a candidate for any pub•
lie office of profit, and the fact that
he was nominated without opposi
tion is the very ( best evidence of . his
high standing as a Republican and
urbane, courteops gentleman. Every
citizen in favor Cf the faithful execu
tion of all the laws pertaining to the
office of District Attorney,should vote
for Mr. CAurr.

ilia Democracy calls itself a
national party. We naturally infer
that national party is homogeneous in
sentiment, utterance and aim. At
the North this party professes to
advocate the observance of law and
'order; at the South violence, blood
shed, and organized defiance of law
are its characteristics. At the East
a distinct
.pzrty organization if;
demanded; at the West a fusion
with the Liberals is sought. Some
profess to accept in good faith the
reconstruction acts; others announce
a purpose to repudiate them. The
.only question on which there is any
appearance of nnaniniity is that of
free trade, and even Pennsylvania
Democrats take th 4. Bet it is a
generally disunite& and not a
national party. .
REDUCTION OF TEE STATE DEBT.-
State Treasurer AlAcx.Ty hag just pur

OUR CANDIDATES.
The Honesdale Citizen in referring
to the result of the Coniressional
Conference, at Tunkhanock, says:
From the names preeented to tlie
Congressional Conference; it was
impossible 'lot that body; to have
made any other than a good nomina
tion. The claims- of each were
strongly urged by his ; friends; but
the preference was finally given to
Bradford, as the strongest Republi
can connty-L•the view that the nomi
nation should be given to the several
counties in the order of their Repub
lican vote having gained a strong
foothold in the Conferenee.l
Mr. Laporte, the candidate "elect
ed, is a practical farmer; and his
nomination will satisfy the claim of a
large and important body of our
population to representation in Con
gress. Ho is an original Free Seiler,
and was the candidate for Surveyor
General on the first Free 'Soil State
ticket nominated in Pennsylvania.
He has since been elected several
times to the Legislature.. He is a
man of liberal education, of large
experience, . and ripe judgment ;•• is
thoroughly familiar with the various
questions, political, industrial and
financial, now demanding Congres
sipnal action; is honest and capable,
and will undoubtedly discharge! the
duties of his position in a manner
creditable* to himself and advanta
geous to his constituents.
LET TIIE DEAD PAST DUEY; ITS
DEAD.
Daring the heated campaign for
the Republican nominations in this
county, animosities and jealousies
have - been engendered, which the op
position are now endeavering to keep
alive. We, trust the unsuccessful
candidates and their friends will not
listen to the hollow, deceptive, and
mercenary sympathy (?)i of the de
signing and treacherous leaders_ of
the Democratic party. Yon may
imagine, that Unfair means were cm
ployed to compass your defeat, but
how much greater would be Your
_sorrow to see an enemy of the prin
ciples yon hold dear elected to office
through your defection or inactivity.
If you have been unsuccessful in ; se
curing the position you desired, re
member that the time between this
campaig,n and the next ono is short,
and you. may then be more success
ful. Whatever may be ; your griev
ances, pause,alid consider the conse
quences of a desertion to the enemy.
whci will gladly accept your services
now but despise you when the elec
tion is over.
DELOS ROCKWELL • o.li BANKERS
After the late . Democratic county
convention had closed its labors with
out naming a candidate for Congress,
(for the reason that the result of the
Republican conference then in session
at Tankhannock had not been heard)
Mr. ROCKWELL, the Democratic nom
inee for the Senate, was:called upon
for a speech. The plucky young law
yer, coming foiward, the burthen of
what said was an assault upon the
Republican party for its terrible cor
ruption, as depicted by,this , honest
young sprig of the law, whose "fame
has not as yet reached as far as El.
mire." He predicted that the. Re
publican nominee at Tunkhannock
would be the banker, Hon. F. C,
BUNNELL, , as he had the money and
the conferees were in the market.
Moral—The Republican conference
did not nominate a banker:but. noin
inated Hon. B. LAPORTE an honest
farmer; while the Democratic con
ference did nominate ,a banker, in
the person of JOSEPH POWELL, Presi
dent of the First National Bank of
Towanda.
WE wean it distinctly understood
that We make no personal 'fight upon
either Mr. POWELL or Mr. ROCKWELL.
They are both gentlemen of worth
and intelligence, and it speaks well
for the' morals of the Democratic
party that such men- are permitted ,
a place upon the ticket. It is an ev
idence that if the party has not lost
its venom, it has at least concluded
to select -for the prominent offices
men of respectability.
Bat we are opposed to the election
of these gentlemen because they are
the representatives of a party which
has proven itself disloyal, and whose
doctrines and principles are opposed
to the best interests of the people of
this country. A party which aided
rebellion and apologizes for White
League- outrages in the South ; a
party which saddled this State and
the nation with a burdensome debt ;
a party which is always on the side
of oppression, and in , . favor of cor
porations and monopolies.
The Republican candidates—Mr.
LAPOBTE and Mr. SCOTT,—personally,
are just as worthy as their competi
tors, and they represent :the loyal,
progressive party of the country;—
the: party that conquered rebellion ;
a party which 'is rapidly decreaiing
our national and State debts; a party
which believes - in protecting the laboi
of the country, and making America
not only an asylum for the oppressed
of every country, but a place where
honest toil is rewarded, and the in
telligent laborer able to provide him
.self with a comfortable home.
,It is because of this difference in
the principles of the Republican and
Democratic parties, that we support
laroamand Scow, and ask all Re
publicans to unite with us in giving
them a handsome majority.
THE Argus says the Democratic
candidate. for Congress was horn a
farmer. Will the Argus please in
form its readers what his oconpation
on the farm was at that tender age?
Ir YuII do not, desire to be cursed
with another BiTesnEw in the 11. S.
Senate, vdte for. all three of the Re
publican candidates for the legisla
tare.
Iv elected, l'ioiLLT, Tura - and
PECK will all . usci their inituenca to
;secure the repeal of the foenl-option
;kw.
SISG IT AGAIIt•
" There is not in all flag commu
nity a man who is giving employment
to more labor, or dispensing the means
of support to a greater number 9f fam
ilies." We make the above quotation
from the columns of the Bradford
Argus Of last week, where we find it
used as a reason w t by the, people
should support JosErrt POWELL for
Congress against Mr. Laren's'
No stronger proof,. if , the statement
is true, could be produced of the,
truth of what we said in our last' is
sue: that thO Congreisional contest
hero is an issue bOtween corporate
power and individual rights. We are
told by the Argus that Mr. PONvELL,
at the ago of eighteen,' "
.commenced
the career of a merchant's clerk."
This is admitted. It is very generally
known that he began his business
career as a "merchant's clerk" with
out means. It is as generally known
and admitted that he is now one of
the wealthiest men ' in Towanda, or
in' Bradford county. These facts
suggest an interrogatory: From what
source did Mr. Pow= gather his
vast wealth ? Go look at his elegant
home, magnificent dwelling and out
buildings, - his finely culti 4 mted
grounds, all stamped with the marks
of wealth, ease and luxury, and in
quire, ye men of toil, from whence
did all this luxury spring ? First a
merchant's clerk, next P merchant,
next a 4 bank president', and, a. stock
holder in land, mining, ailroad, and
other companies. The ists of the
producing, industrial iin purchasing
classes have all bean to led as they
passed through his hopper, and the
Argus would ha'o these people think
that because they have contributed
from their sweat and tol to enable
Mr. Powzra. to wield thei
power which
wealth affords, and to reap' 16 to 20
per cent. profit from Lis National
Bank and other stocks, and to be
come the president of the. First Na
tional Bank of Towanda i —an institu
tion which now monopolizes the en
f.re banking privileges in Towanda,
—they should now give him their
votes and elect him to Congress over
Mr. LAPORTE, who, though a practi
cal tiller of the soil,' is the peer of
any man in the county ',or district in
point of ability and intelligence. No,
fellow-citizens; this line
,of argument
in support of the Democratic candi
cate for Congress is unsound. It
may go down with DemocratS,—es
pecially those who own banks, rail
roads and coal mines, and aro en
gaged in land companies and other
monopolies ; but it does not satisfy
Republicans, who beli l eve that the
right of franchise and I the right to
hold office belongs to all classes alike,
and that capacity and integrity are
the only tests to be applied in judg
ing of fitness for official positions.
The Argus further says, "Mr. Pow-
ELL has never sought nor occupied
public office; it is only at the urgent
solicitation of a largn!class of men
who feel that , corruption must be
checked, peculation cease, ancHnteg
rity surround the reputation of men
whom they delegate to represent Their
,hitherto neglected interests, that' he
now permits his name to be used as
a candidate for member Of Congress."
This, would sound well,, were not the
fact well known here that' Mr. Pow-
ELL is not the candidate "of a large
class of people" at tall ; that The
Democratic convention did not ballot
for a nominee for Congress, but
merely appointed conferees to repre
sent Bradford in the Congressional
conference, without paining any man
as their candidate. atlie fact is just
as well known hero that the nomina r
I i 1
tion of Mr. POWELL was the work of
I
a few railroad officials end other cap
italists, and that the wishes of the
peOple were not conslted at all.
Now his claims to support. tkro boldly
put forth upon the grOund that he,
as an officer in thesecoworations,
dispenses the well-earned wages to
the employes, who rJnder. . faithful
service, and, off who 4 services he
.reaps a large profit. !According to
this reasoning, a 1.4 k president,
president of a railroad company or
other corporation, inns; be ;first con
sidered in making choice of a man
to represent the people in' Congress.
The people, we are c rtain, will be
slow in coming to sue a conclusion
at this time. Let an att mpt be made
by the employee of the e monopolies
b secure, by any or anized effort,
a higher rate of coin ensation for
their_ services, and see OW complete
ly powerless they are o effect their
-
;purpose, and see, too, ow soon the
class of men to whit Mr. Powrix
belongs will exert ever possible pow
er to crush them out. With honest,
earnest Republicans, here can be
-4,.
bur one conclusion:—.Mr. POWELL is
the nominee of the Denlocratic party,
and is in no way'entitl d to the sup
port of Republicans. I elected, he
will be compelled by the power of
party discipline to do all the mean
things (politically) wl4h that party
demand. He cannot support JAMES
G. BLAINE or any other Republican
for Speaker of the House. Hz can
not support EDWABD 4 1 CPELERSO7. , I or
any other Republican for Clerk of
the House; and will be compelled_to
vote with his party on
i .all measures
of finance, currency, tariff, transpor
tation, reconstruction, 1 &c., againvi
the principles and policy of the Re
publican party. His sympathies and
feelings are those of , the rankest
Democrat. Unless Repnblicans have
Made up their minds to leave their
party and go 'over to the Democracy,
they cannot. conscientiously give Mr.
• I
Pow= their vote.
ELECTIONS were I. ;iii on Tuesday
last in Ohio. 1,,E„, , Indiana, West
Virginia, N. braska and Dekota. The.
returns so far are very mnagro, but
it is cencecled Unit Ohio has, gone
Democratic. In the ether States the
Republicans have probably beenrsuc
medal.
STAND DT THE TICKET.
If any Republican has been seri
ously contemplating voting against
any of the Republican candidates,
we beg of him to stop for a moment
and consider the 'conseauences of .a
Democratic victory. There are vital
questions at stake, such, for instance,
as the continuation of the financial
policy of the State, by which its debt,
the legacy of a Democratio adminis
tration, has been! reduced, and the
burden of taxation removed from the
shoulders of the People and placed
upon the broad backs of the corpora
tionS ; the defeat of a party whoi3e
success would be; the inspiration of
rebellion at the Sauth and an incitel
ment of the most bloodthirsty atro,
citids upon innocent and defencelesS
people; the return of a Congressional
delegation in syz4pathy with the Re
, publican party and the administra
tion, and pledged to legislate for the
suppression of insurrection, and the
protection of every American citizen
in the undisturbed enjoyment of his
sacred rights. *specially is there
vital issue, involved in the choice of
Members of . the legislature, as the
selection of a United States Senator
for a term of six years will devolve
upon that body at the coming ses
sion. Every vote against KINNEY,
MOSCRIP and TRACEY is a vote for
son.,e such politial trickster as BircK
ALaw, who was hob-nobing with the
reels in Canada!daring the war.
WE learn that It. A. PACKER
declines the DeMocratic nomination
for t Congress in, be Luzerne district.
The Democrats ,have a majority of
so4re 10,000 or 12,000, and a nomi
natlion is equivalent to .an election.
The nomination 1 was tendered Mr.
PAKER, but he declined, preferring
to attend to
hi
to duties.
Th?re is no Democrat in the State
more _popular with them than Mr.
PACKER.
