our course in pia:an - the affidaiitihe

that -when Mrs. M. made the grave
charges under oath against her UM

the Clerk's office, it became .public
property, and every man, woman and
child in the country had the right' to

-as legitimate as any other item' of
legal intelligence. Moreover,* the
plaintiffs in the case have not
been 'careful to conceal the factO as
set forth the affidavit from their
neighbors, and 'the matter has been
, freely ylkvussed in this community
for months. As an evidence that
PIioLLET did not intend to_ settle, we
statetfor the benefit of the public that
he had employed counsel and entered
an appearance in the case. Moreover,

We would not accuse : the very esti

T TILE election .in 1846 - ; thrinigh
the ,desires and exertions of Davin
WILNIOT, the 'Democratic candidate
.for State Tredsurer. .1 4 icros PIOL
LET, was nominated and elected to
the Legislature of PennsYlVania ?
One of his ;first acts as a member of
that body was to introduce resolu
tions in * favor of the, Wilmot Proviso,
which resolutions Were . unanimously
passed' ,the House, and with but
three dissenting - Votes in the Senate
(COl., MASON then representing this
district). PIOLLET was then pro:
feisedly an ardent friend of the Wil
mot Proviso. But as the Slave Power
brought its influences to - bear, and
the Democratic . ' party bec;ame the
adjunct and tool of the Slavery prop
agandiSts, Plom.Er proved . falge to
his professions, and became not Mere
ly the facile
_tool. and advocate of
the Slave Power, but the most
scrupulous and malignant of ' the
detractors Of. DAVID WILMOT'S =-
fives, and the most bitter and viru
lent of those who made a personal
warfare ujion him,
We need -hardly remind our . . read
ers of the base and dishonorable
means which were employed in a vain
but wicked attempt to break' down
the great_ champion of Free Labor
and Free Speech, for th'ai eventful
period in the, hiStory df tiie county
is Well remembered by many of our
voters. , IThe leader in this base war
fare upon One of the purest public
men - the country has e.ver larown,
was Vrcrou E. PIO LLET .
. It was his
brutality and venom which embit
tered the politics of that day, and
which folloived Mr. WiLmeer with a
`perseciition which, for infamy and
personal detraction,
,has never had
its- parallel.- It was the malice
_and
treachery displayed, in this warfare
'which made for the leader a reputa
tion, county that has elicited
a proper rebuke at the polls whenever
the have had an opportunity
to eipresktheir judgment. •

displayed when he

Conscience has had alcrtible effect upon him, and
there is nothing that sales his poor carcass but tne
four thousand dollars a year he gets for doing noth
ing. (Great Laughter.) Ile is Judge of the Court
of Claims at Washington. There was a Court of
that name established some years ago, with three
Judges on its beneh. While Wilmot_ was in the
Senate he got a bill passed to authorise the appoint
ment of two more Jutigt a on Gls' benebt and to get
around that little provision of the Constitution
which dechtfes that no Senator or Representative
shall be appointed to any office which may have
been created, or the emoluments whereof shall hare
been increased slating his coutinitinco In office, he
made a bargain with the laniented Lincoln' to hold
off and not make t)ee Appointment until his term in
she Senate ekplre so that he could get it There
was a nice, legai'cuuning way of getting around a
plain provision of the Constitution which he; as a
benator, had sworn to support
This man who talks of Conscience
was hardly in his legislative seat be
fore he hastened to have the Legisla
ture endorse and applaud DAVID
WILMOT'S desire to preserve new ter
ritory from the encroachments ,of
Slavery. Which was false to the po
sition then taken—DAVlD: WILMOT,
who suffered the malice and persecu
tion of the Slave oligarchY, or the
pretentious humbug who. deserted
the cause of Freedom, and who could;
make a brutal and untrue jest of the
afflictions of the neighbor to whom
he owed everything that he ever was
politically ? Conscience indeed!
Why, if 'VICTOR E. ProLtrr's • con,
science had ever troubled. him for the
political sins he has committed, he
would be a walking skeleton, and
would make BARNU3I'S fortune as a
great moral shoIV.
• The true men of Bradford
. who
stood !iv DAVID WILMOT through
the terrible warfare inspired by Pim,.
LET, have not forgotten
. the thiholy
and -disreputable means employed in
the endeavor 'to overthrow•the cham
pion of Freedom. DAVID WILMOT/S
voice is stilled by death; his elo
quent and- honest utterances can no
longer direct our Voters ; but his
memory ,still lives, and respect for
him will be testified' at f,he robs by
voting against pile of his ;vile - Si; 'and
most Unscrupulous persecutors. •
THE Patrons of Husbandry owe a
plain duty to themselVes and to the
interests of the institution to prompt
ly disown the ptdceedings of their
State Lecturer, and depose him froin
the office he is now prostituting to
political purposes. We assert thaf
he has declared heretofore, that his
aim was to use the Grange to "breOk
down the el—d Republican party,"
and it can be proen by more than
'one credible witness. ILu sought
the endorsement tl't the Democratic
County Committee as a candidate
for Governor, with the assurance
that the Glantre influence would
nominate him; and his nomination
for State Treasurer was avowedly
brought about by promise's
,or votes
from Republican grangers Since his,
nomination by a
, politieal • . party -he
has officiously thrust himself into all
assemblages of Grangers within
reach, and in defialice of the professed
objectsand sentiments of the organi•
zation, endeavored to make his posi
tion minister to his politieal success.
We have no fear that the indeliCate
and improper conduct of
: PfollE:r
will secure him Republic:* votes in
'sections of the State , Where his polit
ical antecedents_ and unworthiness
are unknown, but he is doing a wor
thy institution infinite harm, unless
he is promptly and properly rebuked.
It has been the constant effort of
those who arc honestly and consci
entiously forwarding the Grange
movement, to keep it
to
of the
arena of politics, andto prevent sel
fish and unscrupulous men from
using it for person.l 'and political
aggrandizement. 'The present State
Lecturer has no interests hi common
with the organikation 4- he has
had no 'motives in '_putting himself
forward prominently, as at Ppesent,blit
such as are selfish and dishonorable,
and if his
.prostitution of 'his place
for his own pelitical advancement
should result in demoralizing and
distracting the organization, he will
be the first to desert it, as he, has
always deserted and. betrayed those
who-trusted him.
Mn. CLIUBBUCK places a' very low
estimate on official accountability
when he demands a reelection sim
_ply because he has discharged his du
ties honestly. In this partichlar he has
done no more than his constituents
had a rightto expectand deinand. His
opponent, Mr.' ANlmus, - stands just
'as high as a man of integrity as Mr.
CIIIIIBUCK, has given three years of
his life to the defence of his country,
and as the result of his patriotism
goes through life with but one leg,—
having given the other as a pledge of
his bravery as a soldier. The loyal
people 'of Bradford county will not
say to this maimed and brave soldier,
"the pension the Government doles
out to you -is a sufficient remunera
tion for the sacrifice you have made,"
as Mr. enunnucx is reported to have
said.
WE unhesitatingly pronounce the
"story" which SToans is retailing to
Republicans with so much pretended
candor, to the effect that LiTTON has
prouiised to pay money to Wu:Lux
4RIFEIB and. J. M. SMrrn for their
services in securing his nomination
'and election, an unmittigated, mall
clops and calumnious falsehood.
THE monthly debt statement issued
by Secretary linrsrow, shows that
the innebtedness of Uncle Sam was
reduced three and a quarter millions
during the month of September.

years he has been dumb on the subject.
One of them has been before the
public for office since .15ir, CLICIFIBUC

parties to seek redress...lf your elle•
gations are true, there was a time
when yon ,night hate rendered the
defrauded tidoiV and otptiaiis some
service ; but . 'you failed to do it.
Your flimsy pretext that the " leaders
of the party have known these things
and ought to have pet a stop to them,"
does not excuse you. .
The truth, is, Mr. Citunnuck, you
have raided the — eq . . of • 44 doiruji ,

. ,
EDITOL' HEPORTOII—Sir : Allow inc to
Say, that the statement made in pier pa
per, as yon say ur, on the authority of r .
trustworthy and reliable Democrat,". is a
sheer fabrication as far as it relates to me.
I did not profess to be in favor of Lay
ton before the convention.
If you have any doubts as to the truth
of the statements contained in my circu
lar, please step into the Register and Re
corder's office - and examine the vouchers
and satisfy yourself.-'
You seek to ward off the effect of those
facts by raising the question, why I did
not make them public before. Why didn't
the leaders in your! party Make Meth
pnli
tic? Why didn't they put a stop to the
practice of over-charging ? They could
easily have done so had they desired it.
They cannot plead ignorance in the mat
ter, for several of them were thoroughly
familiar with the practices and business
of the office. They knew the law, too,
and its penalties. The knowledge oethose
facts came to me incidentally in the course
of my business in this office. The mitt
has, by tts acts, thrust upon the people an
issue which, makes these facts highly ini
portant to be known. This party 'now
asks for a new lease of power. It cannot
shirk the responsibility of theofficial acts
of its leaders'Or public servants, which it
has in no wise condemned. Since it has
been in power, it has allowed the people
of this county—mostly widosis and or
phans—to be-robbed, in this office alone,
of not less, I think, than ten thousand
dollars in the way of extortionate and il
legal charges. It has the audacity . now
to send out its emissaries to the people
and ask them to continue it in power.
The question is, will the ;people doi it?
What assnranceri of reform in this respect
canit give the people face of the fact
that it seeks to thrust out of this office
the person who has Inade an innovation
upon this fraudulent practice. , 1

the public know that he " has always

lishes a
,letter in the Journid (assist

charges against BILL STORRS. We
have not assailed Mr. STORRS' private•

one else do so, and Mr. B. might haie
coined a better excuse for informing
the people that, he had turned trai
tor to the professions 'of- his whole
life and become somewhat ,‘,Jonser

publican to vote for h man of 'BILL
STORRS' political faith.
IT IS A significant fact tba s t while
loud , demands lire being made from
the West for more money national
banks, and notably those in the West
• re surrendering circulation because
there- is no- demand for the money,
which has been lying idle in their
vaults: Last month the amount of
national bank circulation surrendered
was two and one-half millions in es~
cess of that issued, and, the total-de
crease in national bank circulation
since the Ist of July last is over $B,-
000,600. Treasurer Nmv, who has
just returned from the. West,, says
the banks there have more Money
than they can use with profit, and
are preparing to surrender circula
tion and take up their bonds.

. few years ag'ki the Relnibliiian Majori-'

the Democrats contest every inch of
ground, and claim that they can carry
the county and the State. Republicans
Of Bradford, will you answer to the roll
call in November, or will you be found
sneaking in the camp of the enemy. Your
principles are the same they were • ten
years ago, and you are called upon to
tight the same enemy. Will you now
basely desert your colors and secede from
your party and your printiples, and as
sist to elect men to office, who gave sym
pathy, , aid .and comfort to',lthe rebels in
the Fishing Creek Confederacy while you
and your friends were in the front of the
battle lghting these same rebels.' What
has the Democratic party: done •to win
your love and admiration. How do you
like the Democratic administration of the
government of New York City under
"Boss" TWEED and the "Ring" :l Have
they shown themselves honest andcapa
ble, where they have been intrusted with
power? . How is it now in West Virginia,
where the Democrats hate full sway?
A traveller in that State lately says that
since the Democrats administer the gov
ernmthtt . the manufacturing establish
ments are all stopped, bitsiness is at a
stand:still; and every justice, constable,
and pathniaster is 'an ex-rebel. Will you
assist by your vote - to . bring about the
same result here. -
Thousands of desolated homes In our
midst, widows' : weeds and' maimed and
crippled . soldefS; speak volumes of con.:
demnatiori of the Democratic party. One
otight never to be voted for until he has
repented in sackcloth and ashes, and then
served as a probationer„sixteen years.
• The papers have DAVIS very
prominently before the: public now. his
party have him- on the Stump, and it
would not be Strange if' he Should be their
next candidate for the Presidency. Oh,
the brass of that party About two years
ago a prominent Democratof this county
boasted publicly that they would have
Grangers enough in this county to "bust"
the Republican party. Attho time they
seemed like idle words. Plow is it now ?
We remarked that their chief organizer
was a Democrat. Their helpers and sym
pathizers were ditto. The . work went
bravely • on. They caught thousands of
„per:Mims in their trap, ;and expect to
-walk them up to the polls and vote them
like sheep jumping over stone wall?
Can they do it ? Who is td be "busted" ?
The Democratic, leaders talk farm and
farmers, and say they must work and
vote for the interest of 4armers. But
when a Republican farmer, is nominated
.for Congress, and a good, honest, capable
and true man at that—they all vote for a
merchant—a banker—a middle-man:
Now, Republican Granger, can you
vote for the Great Mogul Of . the Fishing
Creek Confederacy ? far'as the prin
ciples and efforts of Grangers go to im
prove the farmers' condition, and add to
his intelligence or wealth, God speed
them. But on the other band, so far as
they go to "bust" the Republican party,
may sudden destruction come upon them,
and that without remedy. Granger,
don't be caught in tho.poltical squat-trap
which has been set to catch Republicans.
If you believe in Republican principles,
vote the whole ticket, and in Novemiler

the trash that Democrats have ever-de
clared them to be, then there is, certainly
great danger in their inflation. i
An item of telegraphic new. froth Chi
cago, recently published in the !pally
Morilihg CrAn*, , fete of this city; furnishes
without question the key that is :110 , ,v12. ,
but surely and steadily 'unletking the
financial situation. It enables usi with
Cleat Li. vision to see the "beginning pf the
' end" of our ttoriev troubles.) The dis
patch was brief. and staicil; I .o,ubstanee.
that the orders on business 'hoit;,t.... for
goods and supplies already fillt'sl and wait-.
!Rig to be supplied, far exceeded all the
business that was ever done in Chicago
before during a single month. and that the
fall trade' proitfis.k to be far gi•enter than
it ever has been. Whc:n ile take MO con
sideration the elements necessary tOibring
about such a state of aftairs, [it may be
truly said that this speaks velum 64. It
proves clearly that there is an'abundanee
of money, and that the great Istringency
which .was• first seriously felt in thei West
is 110 longer oppressing the people there.
It is evidence enough that the eychme of
"hard times," which gathered strength
' and started in the prairies off the West,-
, and moved with ouch fearful, tle , ..truction
. isastward until it reached every hip. and
valley on the Atlantic slope, has already
spent its fence where it began- and; that
the beacon light of returning' prosperity
is already shining with refreshing ,plen
dor in its wake, cheering the at masses
of the people with new hope and pnimise.
In this we have the explanation why the
Democratic conventions in Nebraska and
the far western States recently athipted
such rtrong anti-inflation platforms, in
direct oppoSition to their DemoFratie
brethren in Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
these latter States,n•here the whirlw)nd of
business depression is still 'awing; the
Democrats resolve for inflation and iiliatie•
their resolutions to catch the unwary and
those who are simple enough to heed and
believe them in their gossimer network
of fine promises, which they well know
will never be fulfilled. The' financial
planks of the Democratic platfenns e1f...)-e
-braska and the far western States are the
same as those of the Republican Eat and
West. The only difference is the amount
of faith and credit that can be attached
to either ; and it is not doing any injustice
to the Democratic party - to say that not
the slightest faith or relianbe can be
placed on any of their pledges or proadses.
Western Democrats know aid fee) that
the time is past when they cc uld eepect
to make political capital by advocating.
inflation ; that their country is proper
ous and money abundant, and that they
have outrodo the financials tbnn ender
the guidance of an honest Repuhlican I,
I Administration.' Hence, they will not '
, commit the'folly of self-destruction
h y at- 1
tempting to undermine a true' and genii- ;
ine prosperity by such ad illusory than- '
tom as inflation. The situation in Chien,- I
go and the West clearly warrants' the ;
conclusion that our great financial troubles ,
are working out their own beat cure and I
that our Republican Congress acted iwise-
I ly in the course they pursued. , The; wis
-1 dom and statesmanship of the great; i
eatl corn-
I promise measures, known as the Slurman
bill, stand forth in brighter colirrs as` time
rolls on; and many of us who doUbted
their propriety, and were incliniAl tolfaVor
ultra-inflation as the true specific. j are
now forced, in the light of history mid ex
perience, to abandon our cherishedltheo
ries and aCquiesce in their true wisdom.
We see now that inflation is only a bhbble
that, at bet, could only have delayeil• the
return of true prosperity by stay* off
the squaring of accounts which must pre
cede it. .1 1
As in the days of Franklin, so -now :
honesty is )iot only the best oolicy )tut a
true business principle, which allj who
would ultimately prosper must heed; The
Republican party, led by au unerring
hand since its accession to power / has
wisely adopted simple honesty - as .he-;
guiding star in all of its movementsi and
it is surely andsafely bringing Ifs :via na
tion through the sea of blood and dit.aster
which thirty years of Democratic misrule
and ruin inflicted upon us. LAS in the
West, so in the East; the skieS will clear
up, the dawn is already brightening/ The
abundant harvest just gathered in Penn
sylvania will do much toward inaugurat
ing a new era of prosperity, and the!large
surplus of money that is now . lying idle
and unemployed in. ,Eastern !Mk* will
soon find lucrative channels' of employ-
ment in solid and substantial business. I
Our duty ae citizens and voters is *in—
to stand by the old landmarks 4 the Re
publican party and to keep `a Arm hold of 1
the shore lines of honesty and integrity. 1
There is not an intelligent Democrat in
in
the State who does not, the seetet re
cesses
of his heart, doubt the Iwisdbm of
the inflation theory. Let all Such aban
don the ragged concern as sd up the po
litical gamblers at Erie,. and ,instqad of
