GRIFFIS, and in the light of subse

to M. Sroans' conduct throughout:
Notwithstanding his repeated and
emphatic denial almost daily for Sev
, . ,
? ' grab Weeks preceding the Democratic
Convention, that he was not a catidi-:
i date for the office of Sheriff, his inti-
Imate friends knew that he was pre
.Varicating, abed his manifestatiOn's of
friendship for Mr. GRIFFIS were not
looked upon as entirely unselfish iand „
disinterested. 'Although the Depio
i crats succeeded last fall in electing
i several of their candidates, it was
not so certain that the same thing
could be accomplished this fall ; and
; Stoafts, than whom a more unscrup
ulous and venal politician 'never re
sided in the county, presumed - upon
' the personal friendship existing be
tween himself and Mr. GRIFFIS to
ljnduce that, gentleman to sell - out his

that STima(s . affidavit ii true; admit

of an attempt to desert to the enemy,
STORRS, by his own eonfession,E was
accessory to the crime, and his ,con

RE %IRE
THE •ELECTION
BEWAME OP FALSE APP/DA
This is a canvass, on the part , f
the Democratic candidate for Shers i ff,
in which all the disreputable weipops
of the' most dishonest party MedCs
are used. We caution our friends to
beware of false affidavits which wtii
be circulated whelk too late to lie
answered.
The' trick of making oath tol a
falsehood, to give it an appearan i ce
of solemnity, is shallow. - ISt:it& an
oath has no legal weight, and no force.
MR. Stoats has publicly boin34d
that ten prominent Republicans--" no
Common fellows," as he re
marked—(" in the interestoflahoi,"
of course,--came to him prior to:his
acceptance of the nomination fore l ed
dpon him, and begged him tfcacOpt
the position. He is now looking or
the: ten, but not even one can be
found.
SMALL majorities may . not tie le
the ear, , h 4 they secure better la, s
and a safeeadininistration than large
ones. In the Presidential year, Pe n
sylvania gave 137,000 majority or
GRANT. The Reialublieang staid at
home last year ; theiwe . re too stro • g
to work wal, and of (murk we w
defeated; , This year we are :irons I,
and the result
, will be a reversal of
last fall's verdict.
A DESPERATE enori; is tieing made
by the Democracy 4elect two Com
{ ruissioners, in order' to control the
I .appointnierit of colieetOfs, &c.
hope our Republican friends will be
on the guard, and not, permit- any,
trickery or personal jealousy to ;de
feat either of our candidates. They
are , both ;,honest; upright, judiCious:
jmen. - who- would fill their positions
• ,
with 'credit -to themselves and honot
to the county.
; CIIIJIIBECK has persistently
Onied having sa- three years ago
when solieitinglhe delegates of
Or-
Well,that he Would oppose Mr. SMITH'S
nomination. We last week published
„
a letter from Mi. ROCKWELL, a wen
' loown and reputable citizen of , lor-
Well' irt which Mr. 'thivunt - e}: 'is
j charged with making such a pledge
to that gentleman. To-day we piint
i several others from men of the high
est credibility, alleging the same
thing; and yet Mr. CliEßEtieK and
his special organ claim that he is
about the only honest and truthful
man in the Republican party. '1
the candidates for Governor
:Ind State Treasurer, the - ''Demoerats
of the county have selected the most
'hitter and i Viojent Copperheads for
''the prominent ()dices. It is well
knowtt,that tiTottas sympathized With
'the ultra-anti-war wing of his paity,_
and said •many bitter things against
NcoLs's administration. The can
didates for Commissionersiwere }also
" Peace Deinoerats, - anti rejoiced
over Vnion reverses WileAcVer they
occurred., (hie of them (1m:F.1t50.1.1.)
on election day. I sn3, joined 'WWI
other seeessi i onkts, in the township
of SOuth Creek, in drinking to the
health of Jirr.D.kvis. This is the
character Of the men whom the
De
tnoeracy ask the loyal people of
Bradford county to support.
IT Ts greatly . to the credit of our
.candidate for Sheriff, that, not a word
saidis in disparagement of his fitness
for the blare. nor of, his character.
Even , the most unscrupulous Of his
'opponents pay him the compliment
of admitting that he- is fully compe
tent to till' the office, and worthy , of,
support. Failing to find any ifatilt
with LAYTON, he is made to bear the
imputed sins of> others. All, that can
be invented as a reason that he
should not be supported by Republi•
eaus, is, that' he is in the interest of
Ring," oistriat : somebody is to be
benefitted by his election. 'All these

power that has a certain potency
on all occasions, and is particularly
noticeable whenever party lines are

and nebaary that , :eur Republican
friends should understand and fully
realize to what an extent this use or
abuse of money has grOwn. 'The

our opponents in this county, and
successfully, too, by the free use of
money. The same ;tactics are now

.We 'make a \ las appeal, to our
friends throughout the cOnniy to ful

and disgraCeful scheme;' that - they
may be on their guard against the
treason which would cheat the voters.
,It is high time that such an attempt
at wholesale demoralization was ex
posed and frowned clown. It is high
time that the severe penalties of the
outraged and violated law were put
in force against those who so shame
lessly attempt to debauCh Our elec

use of money. 1 .
Fellow-citizens, if thi4 attempt to
again break flown our majority by
the use of money succeeds, where is
to be the end?? Who can put an es
timate upon the flood of corruption
whieh is Jikely to *sweep j over us in
the - future ? The - speetaele now pre
sented is° in itself •hurniliating and
shocking to the moral sense of the
community. The defeatlof our can
didate for Sheriff is attempted, not
because of any &Selene of charac 7 '
ter, not for au alleged unfairness in
his nomination—but the hopes of tlie l
• opposition are foundedlsolely upon
upon the fact, that, his 4calthy
eojn
petitor has his thou Sands to spate.

and is putting his iton4 with a
ish hand where he thinks it will doi
the most good. LAYTO4 isto be del'
rented, not that he is not a worthy
and deserving candidate; t bnpbeeause
STonas has , money enough to spare
to Corrupt and demoraliZe the voters!
Shall such an insulting` proposition
as this meet with success? Has the
Republican party of Bradford become
so demoralized thitt it can be pur
chased by every candi
date who has his poek4s filled with
money? Yet this, is the assumed
attitude and boast of s•roaas.' .We

THE ostensible, editor of the Jour
tat voted M the polls in the Third

ates favorable to the nomination of
AYTON for Sheriff; and that, too,
hen there was a Contest. Usually,
onorable men who partieipati in a
auens expect . to. abide the result.
Not so with the editor of the Journal.
He is fighting, guerrilla-like, • and
ready to take or . Make from either
party. It "may be a matter- of Sur
prise to some why the Journal is
supporting STORRiffor Sheriff. To
us it is not. The consideration is the
patronage of the Sheritrs office, if
STOIIIIB is elected. The Journal is
trying to earn the ;Sheriffs advertis
ing from STORMS. And it puts on'an
air of independence and honesty !
'"Assume a virtue if .you have it not,"
is its motto. Is there a Republican
verdant enough to be deceived by its
cry of "Ring," when all the ring it
knows anything about is the ring of
STORRS / money ?
Tim "only free py l ess in the county,'!
in its Jost issue, hauntingly boaits
that ;Ur. STORRS *ti answered the
Charge we made against him, of mis
representing A. LAYTON. Mr.
TKRN Elt 11 not so Stupid as to believe
what he says to be true.'•
S.TORitti in his ailidarit does not
charge that he has ever exchanged
words with Mr. LArruN ; he only
alleges that Mr. OEUFFSS told him
certain 'things (in the moonlight).
So if the Journal is as independent
as it professes, it should at once cor
rect its statement, Viand do` justice to
Mr. L'Arrox and the ItEPORTER.
ArrEn the publication of Stomfs'
•aflidavit charging i‘ru. fiRIFFIS with ,
treachery and falsehood, it will sound'
a little strange to his friends to learn
that STORRS visited Mr. Grams. on:
Sunday Morning last and. used all
the persuasive art, including tears,
of which he is po4sessed, to get the
,
latter to desert Mr. LAYTON and sup
port '. STORRS. On Mr. GRIFFIS'
promptly and premptorily refusing
to complywith the degrading de
i mand, STORRS left him, threatening !
to crush him financially. Was ever
such an arrant knave nominated by
' •
[i.any party ? -
STonas now seeks to secure votes
by promising men in debt that if
elected he will "curry them over."
Such stories may( be believed where
be is not known, but men who have
had dealings with Mr. STORRS' have
not found him more liberal or lenient
than other men.' •
IN ANOTHER column we give seVer
al letters from the people in regard
to the campaign and candidates.
They arc ent4lo to great weight,
inasmuch as they were unsolicited,

A SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT.
- a
The Pittsburg Leader, a journal of
the most conservative character, and
one that never bestows praise in any
direction except where there is no
question that =it is merited in the
highest sense, gives Governor lIART
RANFT the following endorsement.—
The Leader is not a party organ, and
its commendation of the Republican
candidate for Governor is. all the
more worthy on that account:
IN V ULNIERABLE.—Governor Hart
mutt is having a fortunate time of it.
"'fere we find him, in the heat . of a
campaign, riding on his way; con
quering and, we may add, to conquer;
right into the ranks of the enemy,
and yet that enemy does not seem to
care to .!even so much as make the
feint of an, attack personally ligainst
him. It apparently has come to the
conclusion that there are no vulnera
ble- points about him, not even his
heel, and that, therefore, it is neither
prudent'nor profitable to waste awn
nition on him: No doubt the enemy
is right. The time was, three years ,
ago, when the case was different.--
Then a band of unworthy and cor
rupt
followers had taken possession
of the Republican camp for purposes
of plunder. Because Itartrarift was
one in a bundle with these spoilers—
a necessity growing out of his official 1
Position—he *as naturally supposed
to be tarred with the same stick with !
the rest. Bak with his election soon I
came the proof that this was a mis
take. The discovery was made , that
'it was possible for him, as it is for
any public officer, to be thrown into
bad company ; but then it was also
found that it is sometimes also possi-
We to be thrown into bad company
and yet not catch contamination from
it. A man may be found among
thieves, like that very young man
Oliver Twist, but surrounded though
bete with Fagalls, and Sikeses, l and
Nancies, and ArtfulDodge* be may
turn out Just as did that Victim of
untoward circumstances, the charity
boy, after all. When he does, people'
think all the better of him for it. If
a an won't steal when the induce
relents( and the chances are all that I
why, he is by so much Ile' More to
be t sted On that amnia. Hart-

wouldh't - pick it. Tile soldier Who
had been so true to his country
not be ifalse to himself, and he kept
his palm--that wouldn't -catch the
prevailing itch to himself. The
consequence is that he has won the .
confidence
.pf the people, and that
his old party enenlies of three years
ago are his , best' friends ot to-day.—
The same reasons reach fartliek, pos.
sibly across the lines into; the camp
of opposition. They see no evil in
the man, and therefore cannot so' far
outrage their sense of propriety as
to make-'him ' the chosen target of
their shots." • ;
YAM= HUNT ON TUE NOTATION.
Rey-, THOMAS P. HuNl, or Father
HUNT, as he is often culled, well
.known to most of our readers as a
advocate of temperance and
a most untiring and eft:idea lecturer
for the cause, has written a letter to
the Scranton itepublica, which ap
pears in that paper of tke 20th lust,
giving his reasons for not deserting
the Republican party to Support the
Browne or 'Third. party: Among
other things he says:
"There are'other interests besides
those of prohibition committed by
God to every free nutr4 and which
must be taken care of. 4.s a patriot
I can never either direetlynor indi
rectly help place in powe • or author
ity a party whose politi rinciples
favored, rebels in the so and cop
perheads in the north seekingtode
stroy this Union. •
"As a christian I-can';never favor
a party governed by elenfents - openly
and professedly opposed to the Lord's
Day, to the Bible, and the public re
cognition of Jehovah. I am greatly
mistaken if in this state,44 large and
preponderating element Of the Dem
ocratic party is not of th'e class I ob
ject to. I know that to elect the
Democratic party in thia. State is to
put into power elements' that are in
imical, not only as to teniperance but
as to all other principles dear, to me
as a citizen. If both parties are rum
and ruin, yet the one party has more
ruin and lea's of truth thin the other,
I prefer that party that has most
of civil and religious liberty in it.
1111 w Third puny had tliie strength to
elect its prohibitory frielods and they
were all Democrats maintaining se
cession and copperhead principles, 1
world certainly rote agaitost them.
"The repeal of the Local Option
law, dime by the DemOcratie influ
ence in the House, and signed by the
Governor; is just what I desired to
do myself,.and one of th'p first things
a genuine Prohibition party wiruld
dO• if in power, for Vocal Option
continued. the license syStem and, un
der it licenses were granted and' the
traffic continued. I arn' opposed to.
that system and priMeiple. Why'
then blame the GovernOr for doing
what we till as Prohibitionists would
do antl.must do if we are e,onsistent.
The law repealing Local :Option con
tains the very ) ..-best provisions in the
right direction for Prohibition ever
yet made in the 'State, ;!and such as
Prohibitionists would Or ought to
make, and secures all the prohibition,
yet obtained by law. 'Why blame
the. Governor for approving it?
" Keep politics out of:teniPerance.
Let the temperance men work for
prohibition in their parties. Let pro-'
bibition be
. the result orpublic de- ,
man d and it will be safe.: and perma
nent. A Third party Ofeated at the I
polls cannot expect or ask any legis-
lation in its favor froth parties op
posed to, it. What temperance men ,
most need is a' revision oof the com
mon laws and a public *to sus- !
tain the laws. Let us labor in the
right direction and prohibition is ;
certain. But for prohibition let us
not sacrifice other interests of vital
importance. T. P. Hun." 1

A CARD FROM SHERIFF SMITH,
(The following card fioni, Sheriff Surrit
was hardly-necessary to satisfy' the public
that all the stories circulated by , theoppo
aition, as to the nominitioit for Sheriff, or
his connection therewith, were false. But
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff hav
ing traveled through the cOunty, circulat
ing his tales about the indebtedness of
L.tvTo to Sheriff Surtrr, the latter
thinks it of enough impoftance to make
auswer.—En.] : . .
The Democratic candidiste for Sheriff
having dragged my name intothe canvass,
I, am reluctantly obliged to appear before
the public, to vindicate jtuyself and show
the falseness of his assertiOns. The state
ment that Andrew .T. Layton is indebted
to me, is untrue. lie does not noes, nor
has lie ever, owed me one cent. I have no
claim upon him in any shape, nor shall I
profit in the least degrepeeuniarily by
his election.
Mr. Storrs in his published affidavit
brings in an allusion to some pecuniary
advantage wnich was, or Might occur to
me, by the nomination or ejection of Sher
iff. I declare all the statements contained
in that affidavit, so far as I am concerned,
absolutely false and unauthorized. No man
, can truthfully say that I Opeeted or de
t.sired to profit by the nomination for Sher
iff in any manner, directly or indirectly.
No man ever intimated to? inc. nor did I
ever intimate to any man, that they or
I myself might or would profit by the 0010-
ination.
hAT no interest in Mr: Layton's elec
tion, except my desire to promote the
prosperity ofa worthy man, .‘yhe has been
a true and active Republican and my be
lief, that in so doing I shall advance the
success of the Republican Party, to which
I am so much indebted.

Entroit ltErourEn:—The evils (4-. the
times in which we live. seem to sPring
from no idefect in our Government; but
from the wanf..of true patriotism on the
part of 'aspirants for place and pOwer:
from a Want of devotion to the country,
and loyalty to principle. This creates
personal strife, prompted by jealousy, en
vy and hate. Madness and folly seem to
rule theday. That candidates for 'ptlice
have different modes of electioneeringis
quite apparent. Some Will meet onelw ith

cal nature, endeavor to succeed by Way of

What success the latter mode of warfare
will meet with, we are unable to deferm-
Mg—fin:film it to say. however, that) false
charges and misreptesentatious tu iirejtt

credit iii the end. As to the former Motto,
it appears most "too thin " in the eyes of

terminate in a handsome majority fir his
