FACTS If any sincere Republican has been persuaded that our financial condi-, tionl would , improved by a political revolution which would bring the ; Democratic party into power, let him pattae and look at the facts. When Gen. GRANT :came into power he, found a large national debt which was' increasing monthly under the prolligate administration of ANDREW JORNSON, although the receipts from internal revenue were enormous, as althost every article of domestic manufacture was heavily taxed,, and newly , every instrument 'of writing was stamped. From the day of his advent, and the introduction of more • economical machiney in working the goVprument, the national debt showed a steady ' , reduction every month, which ieduction now amounts to sevral hundred millions of - dollars, .while the unpaid portiOn has been funded at a lower rate of interest. Taxes have been removed from every article of domestic manufacture, ex cept whisky, tobacco and matches, while stamps have been removed from all I instruments of writing, except bank c'hecks. So that while taxation is nearly ;abolished, the national debt is also steadily diminiihing. If we turn our attention to our State-finances, we find the same fa vorable result there. Rennsylvania has been continuously under the role oil the Republicans since. 1861, dur ing which time, although' the war necessitated an outlay of many pill ions of dollars. for State purposes, the,aggregate debt, notwithstanding this expenditure for extraordinary purposes, is now more than fifteen mOlions of dollars less than what it Sias when the war opened, reducing the total amount at the present time to less than twenty-fire milliqns of ddllars. If from this be deducted - the amount of securities in the sinking fund applicable to the payment . of thp State debt, the total amount will be found to be -.in reality only fifteen millions of dollar's. ', It must be borne ini mind that tly , heavy reduction his been effected not only in the face ofl large expenditures for war pur- TOses, but also , without' the usual re ceipts from taxation, the Republican State administration having entirely repealed all laws imposing _a tax on real estate the Commtonwealth. Within the next few years, through the operations.of the sinking fund; if Republican rale is continued, the State will have paid the last dollar of her indebtedness, and she can then apply her whole revenue to the cause of eduCation and other kindred ob jects. 1, The Republican party has faithfully redeemed every pledge it ever made tq therPublic, and can point to its honorable record in. the past as a guarantee that there .will be no fail ur in its future course, to meet the just expectations of the country. Trust it, then, as long as it is worthy o your confidence, for it has car ried yon triumphantly through the storms of the last fifteen years, and it, has within its ranks the great ma jority of the pare and loyal of th! on whom the country must rely fdr its trength and prosperity. YOUNG MEN IA large number of young men in this county (racistly farmers, mechan is, and laborers in every branch of iidnstry) will cast' their first .ballot t4fall. Wlllithey ally themselves the ,monied monopolies of the cduntry and vote for Mr. POWELL, or wall they, like the good Queen Enema, cast their lot nah their own people, and aid by their votes in the election of At , worthy and industrious tiller of the caoii ? I THE Argus is fruitful in innendoes and insinuations against candidates' of the Republican party which are worse and more contemptible than d irect faL3i3hoods. The practice ap pears more ridiculous:and silly coin big from the organ ofl a party which guilty of- every crime in the politi - cal calendar, and there is not an out rage that it ever perpetrated that it lias shown penitence for. The blood of the rebellion le encrusted upon it ; for all the crimes it committed -in promoting and defending slavery till it led to war ; and of encouraging rebels, thus nerving them to the Con eintutnee of the war,—it has never repented, and ".without repentance there is no remission of sine." The election, this Fall, turns on points of practical importance, so far as the State and Legislative offices are concerned, and it is well for . the people to pause and investigate the several facts, and csst their votes in the light of the developments. The members of the Legielatnie, and three of the State officials vill be in positions to exert influence on the debt of the State. It is well to re mernber; in view of this fact, that the nearly unifoiin tendency of the -De mocracy has been to increase our State; debt, while the eilually uniform course of the Whig and Bepublitan parties has been to ,reduce the debt Thus beginning with the year 1828, the Harrisburg lelegraph gives the changes from yditr to year, to show the condition of , the State debt every year since . Thu the Democrats were in power from 1828 to and including 1835, - durink which . time the debt of the State was increased from $5,140,- 000 to $24,589,743. During the next three years' Itrrsza, a Whig, was in power, and the debt was increased not a penny. - In 1839 the Demo crats again came into power, and re tained it ten years, till 1849,. daring which time the debt was increased S. W. SLVORD $15,369,735. For three imcceeding years the Whigs were in power, and the debt was reduced $360,501. The Democrats again sticceedz-d to power for three years, and the debt was increased $499,924. In 1855, Poi rocs was elected by the' Know-Nothings, and the debt was increased still. The next term was filled by a Demo crat, and this time the debt was de creased nearly two millinns. In 1861 the Republicans succeeded to power, and ba j ve retained it till the present. The debt stood at that time, $40,• 580,666--there being the new loan of $3,500,000 for war purposes added. - From that point it has de creased to $24,910,635—0r deducting $9,000,600 in the Sinking Fund, and a half million in the General Fund, leaves the net amount, October 1, 1874, $15,410,635, or a reduction of about $25,000,000. It must be evident that the con tinuance of this policy for a few years will result in the wiping out of the State debt. This certainly is an ob- ject that is much to be desired. It is worthy of notice that this policy has been carried out without at all bur dening teal estate, and while educa tion hasleen very liberally promoted by the State. The finances of the Commonwealth have been,so adjust ed that they have borne lightly on the people, and yet have been very successfully directed, about $2,900,- 000 of the State debt having been liquidated yearly dnring the -past fourteen years. At the present, while a millionbf dollars are yearly appro , priated for education, and while the expenses of the Constitutional Con vention have largely fallen upon the present fiscal year, yet nearly one million dollars of the debt have been extinguished' thus far during the present fiscal year. The Legislature has much to do with this subject, and were the Democrats in the as cendantL even in the Legislature, there is danger that they would leg islate to increase the debt,. in order that a Republican administration might be embarrassed. • Were the debt increased, or thA raduction delayed, it would simply result in keeping up bnrthens which it is the policy 3f the Repfiblican party to swiftly remove. In this par ticular, of keeping the weight of tax ation from the people, Pennsylvania, under Republican rule, stands pm eminent. It is, indeed, in this par ticular, in strong contrast with Dem obratic rule in this State. The tax on real estate was taken off under Republican administration, and the policy of avoiding taxation of real estate has been peculiar to the Re publican party. These are facts worthy of attention, and we commend them to the careful consideration of the people of the State. . The political issue before the peo ple at the coming election is - so sim ple that no one need err in under standing it. It is just this, and nothing' more: Shall the control of the House of Representatives pass into the hands of the Democracy ? Any ,side,, issue, any division of Re publican strength on local questions, any votes drawn from the regular ticket by the. Temperance, or any other element, serves to weaken our party, and increases the chances of Democracy. Let nothing 'stand in the way of a complete Republican success. It is vital to the peace and welfare of -the nation that the party that stands pledged to the unity of the Republic, to an honest and eco nomical administration of •its affairs, to the protection of its citizens at home and abroad, should be ton tinned in power. Donna the arrangement entered; into, by 'which the Republicans and Democrats were to unite in holding honest elections, or at the least to honestly canvass the returns in Lou isiana, the White League continues to drill, and to carry forward its prep Orations for violence. It has dropped its mask of secrecy, and openly prepares for violence. This is regarded as an infraction of the arrangement entered into; and may lead to the abandonment of amicable relations. The White Leagues are, after all, the worst enemy the South tas, and yet they are encouraged and defended by the Democrats at the _North; and if by any unforseen ca lamity Mr. INSWELL should be elected to a seat in Congress, he would be compelled to stand with his Filly on this gnestion. PRACTICAL DATA. THE ISStE. NORIUS SUEPAID. The Argus, with' trial*nity only equaled by its 'pounce, makes a malicious attack upon Commissioner Barpon, than whom the county never had a more ecenscis' aliens, upright public servant. His acts, as we hive before stated, need neither apology nor explanation. During his term he has %splayed traits of character which have won for him the esteem of men of all parties. His devotion to the interests of the coun ty have been peculiarly conspicuous, and we do no injustice to his prede cessors or collespes when we say that his reputation for independence, integrity and wisdom will not suffer by comparison with any man in the Commonwealth. ' The Argus makes a great ado be• cause the Commissioners paid $350 to prevent the division of the county. If the simple division of •the county had been all that was involved in the nefarious scheme of HERDIC, fIor.,LET, Maar & Co., the Commissioners would have been 'fully justified in making the appropriation of that sum; but the .Argus well knows that he bill for the divieion of the corm ty, which was secretly advocated by hourr and TERRY, contained a sec tion requiring the County Treasurer to refund to the new countg all the taxes paid by the territory to be cut 4 during the year then passed, amount ing to over five thousand dollars. Uuder these circumstances the commission ers were advised by many, and we believe by Judge PARSONS, to pay the expenses of keeping Mr. WEBB in Harrisburg to prevent the outrage. Had they done 'less they would have been culpable, and the people would havuhad good ground to oppose the re•electi,on of Mr. SHEPARD. - MEASIMIES, MOT MEL Rept)Hoene! when you are asked to vote for any candidate on the Democratic ticket because he is a good man, remember that measures are of more importance than men, and that the very cleverest man on the Democrat ticket willf-', be just as firm in his adherence to the princi ples of that party as the lowest dem agogue. The - question to - be deter mined is,. whether the policy of the Republican party, which has proven so beneficial to the country, shall be .4. continued, or- the minims manage ment of the Democracy again inging nrated. Shall , we desert a true friend for a false one? is the political ques tion to be answered at the November election. We know the record of both parties; The one has been full of honor, the,other as full of- dishon or.. The Republican party has been true to its friends, magnanimous to its enemies; and just to the nation. It has kept its pledges and refleemed its promises, and stands to day a true friend of the people, trusted because tried, and honored because it has never forfeited !the genero us confi dence; which brought it into power. We can safely challenge t.h( world's history for a party that has equaled it in genuine devotion to liberty, hu inanity, and civilization. It has - its, faults r but they are few *and far be tween, while its influence for good is more powerful than ever. To sustain such a party should be the pride of American citizens, to allow 'ts defeat through inactivity or jealousy would be a crime against the lo al senti ment of the age. Examine t e record of Democracy, its present associa tions, its disregard for litv order, i , common honesty, its urdisgaised hatred oteverything that pertains to loyalty ; and then ask yourself, is it safe to run even a remote rn3k of al-' lowing this enemy of the Republic to gain control of its GovernMent ? TEE manner in which the Argus is conducting the camps ' is a dis grace even to the Democr l tic party. Prone to telling falsehoods when it is not likely to be detected' last! week it displayed such an utteri disregard for common decency as would put to blush , the most abandoned and de bauched villian. ' 'Referriig to the Senatorial candidates, it s l ys: " His opponent, Mr. Scott, is also a lawyer - by study and admission to practice, but having been . t he fortu nate inheritor of paternal acres ; the political occupant lof the office of Register and Recorder for two terms, and the bouritiful 'recipient of gov erment faver=drawn though per centages received from the collection of Internal Revenue to the'enug little sum Of sk..*.c.Nif-ONE THOUSAND DOLLABEI for seven years' service,—there seems to be no good reason.why the people should be asked to add greater fat to either- the purse or person of this piece of purely ornamental office fur niture." There is not once sentalce of truth in the abov9. Mr. Sou= was never admitted to the bar;` never - inherited a single paternal acre, ; he was not Recorder for sir years ; he did not receive one-half of the amount named i as Collector of Internal Re enue—the law limits the salary , of a 1 ollector to $5,000 per annum; • and at few offi- I cials in the State received that, sum. The Argus knew each and 1 very one of the chines to be - false, and yet it will not correct the false Scan was nominated . 1 people recognized in him for the place, and with bn sonal solicitation on his p WE YET Col. OVEBTON day, who is the best and takes his defeat in Lion like the true man tha informed WI that it was to take off his coat, roll up and enter the political ftel triotic zeal for the election and the whole Republica Athens Gazette. None of Colonel Ovznvc ever for a moment doubta would yield hearty stipp ticket. He is an earnest from principle, and holds til of the party &bine person (ions. MIL POWELL'S CONNECTION WI THE AnANnowszwr or • —. It may not be generally know", therefore we state the fact that tie Demtxratie cutdidatek firr. Conrail (Mr. Powitta.) exerted - hie influence in favor of the PS. dr, N. Y. Railroad and Canal Company upon the legis lettire, to secure the abandonment 61 the:North Branch Canal. The proof . of.t.'hie is at hand, and we pledge our selves to give the written evidence over 31t. Pommes own signature, in the l ahape of a letter to a member of the legislature urging him to vote for the bill for the abandonment.. It is a fact, known to all who . were cognizant of what transpired at Har rishurg at the time the'bill for the abandonment was passed, that the Republican_candidate for Congress (Mr. Lepowrz), at his own expense, west to Harrisburg in the interest'of the people and opposed, with all his power, the passage of the abandon ment law,,,prging that the company sho i uld be compelled to complysitvith the terms upori which they became 'the purchasers of the canal,-and that the rights of individual transporters upon it should be respected and pro tected By the terms of the charter granted to the Penna. & N. Y. Rail road and Canal Company, giving them the right to place a railroad traak on the bank of the canal, the company were to •maintain and keep in good repair the canal for purposes of transportation, and forbidden to charge greater rates of toll upon boats for the transportation of coal and other freights through the canal than was required to be paid by the toll-sheets for the year preceding the granting of the charter. Bat, as lin almost, every instance where indi vidual rights come in contact with corporate power, the former was crashed out and the latter fattens upon the sacrifices they have com pelled the people to make. No sOoirr had this - Company secured their char ter than they began a coarse of sys- tematic imposition upon the people who were interested as transporters and those interested in 'cheap rates of transportation for heavy freights as afforded the canal, by suffering it to become gradually impassable ;for boats through neglect of repairs; and finally, after a few years of broken faith, they applied to the legislatnre for and secured a law giving them the right to abandon it entirely. By this time (Ur. Powm, having grown rich and a stockholder in railroad, land and mining companies,) this company found in him a ready and .willing tool to aid in perpetrating the abandonment outrage upon the rights of the people. Every principle of justice was outraged, and every vestige of individual right was crush ed out. The long•established prin ciples of common,law " applicable to the government and security of per senal property," were violated, and the lands which had been condition ally released by the owners for canal purposes only were swept away from them absolutely, and the well-settled principles of law, , by which, when di verted from the object of the grantors 1 the title to the lands occupied by the canal - would have reverted to the original owners, wero swept away. As a consequence of the abandon ment of the canal and the removal of , all restrictions, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and the Penna. & N.Y. Railroad and Canal Company (minus the canal) have a complete and powerful monopoly of the carry ing.: trade from i the anthracite_ coal regions via the valley of the North Branch to 'the New York line, and the people are made to feel the weight of their power most 'sorely and un justly. Theie companies, which are in fact but one interest, are not only transporter!: but are also interested and engaged in the business of coal mining—Laving their ramifications all through the anthracite coal re gions; they fixfind control the price of every ton of coal shipped over their road, whether mined by them- Selves or others.: We wish especially 1 1 to call the attention of the people to the fact that, in' consequence of the Privileges conferred by the legislature upon the companies above mentioned, the consumers of coal living below the New York line (in Bradford and Wyoming counties) are Ito-day pay-• ing more than •pno dollar per ton in 1 Lfzcess of the price paid by the people Rochester and Buffalo, N. Y., for al upon the cars at Pittston or in 'the vicinity of the mines. Why this 'nnjust discrimination '1 Let - those kvho propose to; vote for Mr. Powimr. answer.

Let us inquire again, why this unjust discrimination in favor of Mr. Power over all other citizens? , Stand up and answer, ye men who propose to vote for 'built Pownix, We imagine the response would come in whispered tones, "he is the nominee of the railroad coM- Panies, and he helped to procure the abandonment of the canal."

Tint TWO PARTIES. .It is one of the Curiosities of Amer ican politics that the Democratic party.has never changed Its' purpose from the day the slave-holden of the South seized its organization and made it a mere auxiliary to defend, protect, and enlarge the statute power and divine prerogatives of the pecu liar institution. From the nullifica tion attempted Clutous and the dec laration of against Mexico there has . been but one object paramount in the policy of the party. In every Democratic - ,convention from that which nominated VAN Buns down to that which met when the national life hung in the balance the power of the slaveholder was as potent as on the plantation it was brutal. The fiat of this great evil dominated its councils and inspired its action.. It hasalways been the anti-constitution al, the anti-lave-abiding party of this . country. ,When the majority of the people chose a man for their ruler who held that human bondage was the sum of evil, and even while it had a majority in Congress which could tie that ruler's hands, it rebelled against the Union, set - the laws at defiance. and sought by the force of arms td perpetuate an institution re pugnant to our national ideal, false to' Christiananity, and at variance with the spirit of modern civilliza- tion. It was beaten, chrushed, but not, as we fondly hoped, destroyed. And now, nearly ten years after, it defiantly lifts its head again, outrag ing human rights denying the truths we have written' in letters of blood upon the statute books of the Repub lic Spared by our clemency and re. ouperated by our generosity, it raises its bands 'again to strike at all that the intelligent, moral, and Christian elements of the country hold sacred —the right of every man, no matter what his coloi or creed, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It em- ploys the old weapons, too, and wreaks its vengeance in the old man- Der. It no longer stops the dissem ination of; Northern , newspapers through the mails nor hangs Aboli tionists to 'the nearest , tree. Bat it the telegraph wires in all, the South, and murders white and black Union ists by the score; rebels against the constituted State authorities, and in . Georgia refuses 'to recognize the Union flag and threatens the lives of those ;who carry it. - And for what should the Repub lican party be put upon the defen sive ? Not that it seeks to suppress these things, but rather that it has allowed them; that it has been se duced from its vigilance by mock loyalty and persuaded from its duty by canning falsehood. 'lts chief crime is that it has permitted murder and intimidation when it should have suppressed them. And now for the cheap talk about the corruptions of the Republican party. Admitted that ' it is rotten to core, (and we never will, because it is the heart of this nation,) and what have we to hope from the Demob racy? When and where has that or ganization of intelligent bigots and ignorant thieves—that outcropping of slothful and degraded slums— displayed a disposition to reformfand a desire for purity?

ED. REPORT= : When I ti 1 tea , i n . your last issue your editortal com ments, in which• you said, in speak ing of Mr. Powell, the ;Democratic Candidate -for Coligresti, and Mr. Rockwell, the Democratic candidate for the Senate, " They are both gen tlemen of worth and intelligence, and it speaki well for the morals of the Democratic party - (didn't I know it had any) that such men ara permit ted a place on the ticket,;' I was alarmed, and thought the Itaposima was going over to the enemy ; but when I read in the next paragraph "we are opposed to these gentlemen because they are the representatives ofof a party which has pror itself disloyal," I.. felt relieved. I could not, however, just see the soundness of your logic when you 'ad it that a disloyal party can be a .mo al party, t and being a moral party it has placed two gentlemen oat of the thiriteen can didates upon its ticket fOr office. I am an old man ; was, before the , lormation of the Republican party, a Whig, a Free Soil Whig; and when . the Republican party came into ex istence I became, as did ti e greater portion of the Whig party in Brad= ford, a charter member o L the Re publican party. It was the party, which beat represented My Principles; and still continues to be, and I have stood by it through evil and through good report, and propOse to stand by it now. I have witnessed the country in the throes of internal re bellion, encouraged bi the Demo cratic party at the North, while he Democratic party at the South mar shalled its rebel hosts upon the fie ,a of battle for the destruction of the Union ; I have seen the "'Republican party put down and conquer the Democratic-Slaveholders' rebellion, and save the Union intact.lFor this every loyal heart should invoke a blessing upon it. The Principles which - it fought for and Maintained should be crystalized in the hearts of the people, never to be effaced so long as the Republican 'party has an existence.! I am reminded by your reference to Mr. Powell that he, , 100, was a Whig, did believed as I did in the old Whig doctrine of protection, and when the Republican, party was formed he became a Republican, but only remained so up to about 1866 ; since then he has been a rank Demo crat, a free-trade, RepubliCan-hating Democrat. His associations, politi cally and socially, have keen with Democrats ; his thoughts, feelings and sympathies have ;been Demo cratic, and he has unifoimly voted that ticket. This, perhepti, furnishes the highest evidence that he is a " gentlemen," and being a "'gentle man," it "speaks well for the morals of the Democratic party"; that he is I= (For the GENTILITY IN POLITI its nominee. I am reminded also by your article, that I happened to be in attendance as a spectator, some years'since, at a Democratic county convention in To wanda, and heard this "gentleman " (Mr. Rockwell) make a Democratic speech. He there verified the asser tion of the late Hurace Greeley; that " the two cardinal principles of the Democratic party is to love- rum and hate niggers." He said." lie belonged to a white man's party, lie did not want the votes of the niggers ; we (the Democratic party) can get along without them." Though , 1 , speech was not the most chaste,and -"gentle manly "in its tone, he did citime pret ty near the truth when be said the "jigger had better vote the Republi can ticket, they owed that; party their votes and they had better vote where they belonged." I propose to stand by and follow my honest convictions. I think it safe to follow where the& lead. As they do not 'lead in the di; rection of the Democratfc party, I shall not vote for either kr. Powell or Mr. Rockwell, or any Of, the Dem ocratic nominee's. ' Yours for - Justice, AN 0u Wmo REpunticAx [XOl' int) nErar.TElt POLITIOAL stools I am not certain that "'snoops " is a proper word, but as' it hest expres ses my meaning I use it. I mean by " political snoops " a'. class of men who attend Republican caucuses, and claim to be Republicans, and sometimes get elected delegates to our conventions, and , then, because their hivorite candidate fails to be nominated, fail to recognize .their obligations to honestly support the ticket made by the convention in whieliahey haveliarticipattd.

One nnacquint ed with Mr. - P.'s past history, and possessing no khowledge of the chat- actor of Ibis home organ, would nat urallyppose, isiippose, from a perusal of the Argus' articles, that for , the last half centurylback here among the hills of Bradford county, quietly pursuing the even tenor of his way, and allowing no opportunity to aid his fellow-man to pass him, had dwelt a man by the side,of -Whom, as a pore unadultera ted phillmthropiat, a . PEA.1301:01 -would sink into utter insignificance. Such istfe—especially political life. The fact is Plaids - that partisan .newspa pers never lack in power when mag nifying I the, good qualities of their candidates. Just let a man who at some p4riod of his life has givefi a well-gnawed bone to a hungry dog or a wormy, frost-bitten apple to a bare footed school boy, come up for an office, don't the papers on his side I v of thel ouse glory and revel in the munifii nt generosity of their canal= date. ~ ith what an ease and grace fulness 'lO they transform that simple bone into a whole, quarter .of beef and the wormy apple into a good farm Upon which was an orchard : .a the ally in the de to their a able, ember on will : labor. is influ close of one of IMIM the boughs of whose every tree were laden each fall with golden pippins, seek-no=farthers, etc., and made a stem emu. from the fact that the geu erpna donor had himself tended and nurtured the treei—he having in early life been a farmer, in fact, earn ing his, daily sustenance for tome fif teen months by milking. I have known Mr. POWELL during his " whole business , career," and I take equally as mtic9 pride in his suc cess as a business man as does the editorof his organ. 1 That Mr.P. has been a shrewd guesser in business ventures and a good financier, and theieby acquired alfortune, does not necessarily prove him a great philan thropist. I acknoWledge that Mr. P. is a stockholder in the Schrceder Land Company, as likewise in the Tannery at Greenwood, and also the President of the ;National Batik in this place ; but what in the name of common sense has the fact that. - he holds stock in these organizatiOns4all of which, I behave, pay good 'yearly intereet— got to Ido with philanthropy or the political questions of the day ? Be cause Mr. POWELL and 'other gentle men of means, see proper to build a tannery and therein etnploy thirty or forty laborers, is hardly a sufficient reason for the laboring classes of this district to unite in support of him Jcif - -al seat in Congress--especially when he happens to be the standard bearer, of the Free Trade Party. • But; pays the " Argus-eyed" Judge Mr. POW= is not a Free-Trader. Let Mr. P. sly so then, publicly golden moments of his opportunity are swiftly, passing by, and Mr. P. has neglected thus fsr to make an nouncement of any principlelhat he will advocate or oppose if elected to Congress. Does Judge Puisolts sup pose that the mechanici and laborers of this congreisional District are so easily hoOdwinked,Ahat he has but to cry Mi. POWELL is the laboring man's friend," and they, will rush to his support as one man, asking no other evidence of the truthfulness of the allegation than the word of the Free Trading, Tariff-for-Revenue-Ar gus ? If he does, he has made about as bad a mistake as when he bartered away the principle of Protection to American Industry, against the pau per labor of :Europe, that he had ad vocated up to the day when he sat down to dine with ' the officers of the Free Trade League at the Fifth Av enue Hotel in New York.. Oh no, Judge, we want, other,Aestimony on this important question aside from that of the Argus.. And when we get ready to vote Ourselves on a level with the half-paid laborers of Eng land,'We shall trot ask the Democratic party to select bank presidents as ex pediency candidates in hopes of se curing our suffrages. And let me say' to Mr. PAns' on that attached to honest toil there is a cer tain dirrnity that he does not seem to comprehend. While I, and thousands of others in this district, are com pelled• to " earn our bread in the sweat of our face," we ,do not pro peseAO be called the creatures of any man's charity..WO are laborers. Our labor is a commodity that capital must' have. We put that commodity on the market, arid he who pays the highest for it gets it. We exchange labor for lucre, and the more lucre we get in exchange for our labor, the shrewder business transaction we have made. Just as the capitalist loans his inoney to the person who will pay him the highest rate of in terest ; just as the farmer disposes of his products, or the merchant his wares. Labor islcapital, Judge r and an honest capital and the! men who have itlo sell are . the men who• in the future, as, their bretbrin have in the past, will make this government a dovernment to be respected because made by labor it 'protects the laborer. It silly, Judge,' to ask the laboring clasies to lay aside , their life-long principles and suPport your candidate' simply because he has : needed the services of a few! men and paying for such service secured it. That the laboring classes Owe , him any,partic ular debt of gratitude, might be be lieved by some one who had been an intimite associate of. the " marines." Bat; Judge, how 'has,Mr. POWELL , be conie the owner ;'of one,of the finest residences in Bradford county.? By' what means has he secured his stock in the Greenwood Tannery, &c.? Is it not from the profits accruing from the' commodities he has sold as a merchant dealer for the past twenty years to the - labOring classes of this county ? Most assuredly. Judge, your logic is bad—your principles governed by policy. JOSEPH Powes.r. trout 4 not be abreaed one dollar if the next winter's Congress should re move the tariff from every article on which tariff is no* . collected.. But go and OskAhe laborerin the rolling mill what an effect such a prodedurn would have on him. • JOSEPH POWELL through hisentire life -has labored to .tvivance the , interests Of JOSEPH POWELL, and that he has succeeded, a handsome fortune i possessed in the prinie of hiSlife, bears ample testi mony. I have not -one *oril to say against Jossis powELL as a business man - but JOSEPH POWELL the merch ant aid JOSEPH POWELL the Demo cratic candidatel . for Congress' must of necessity be irtewed from a differ ' eta:stank:Mint. Judge PARSONS god are old enough Ito have learned that men often admire _the business quali fications of a neighbor and at the same time detest his political_profes sions. That the laboring classes have in the past supported Mr. POWELL in his business venture's, does not seem to me to be a sufficient ground . on which to base a request for them tol support him for l a political office.
