S. S. Butts, of 13radibrd county, who will canvass our county, beginning on the 17th:of August,lB76, at the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Order to be held at West Wove station, on 41ie P. & B. C., railroad otr that date at 11 o'clock A. M. Bro. Butts is an earnest, tried veteran in the army against the giant evil intemperance, and we hope our temperance people_ will give him every support. and .en couragement possible in his most laudible work. I take the following from the Temperance 1 - islicatiw, penned by Col. McFarland, who is thoroughly acquainted wi di his work: " We learn the Executive- Com mittee have wisely proposed to em ploy- Bro. S. S. Butts most of the Grand. Lodge year as anlovi e' aniz„er and lecturer, and to send him first to Montgomery and Chester counties, •where he will - commence: early in August. We are glad Of this. It will give Bro. Butts a new field of labor, and a chance- to prove his ea paeity as an orglinizer. If te suc ceeds in Montgomery and Chester countieh it "ought " surely. tosatisfy the most fastidious. And- we know he, is quite willing to take the risk. For our 'own part we have no doubt, of his success there - or elsewhere. A man of unimpeachable character, of deeply religious convictions, full, of zeal for the cause of temperance, enthusiastic in whatever he under takes, and a hard worker, with fair abilities and a good deal of ,experi ence, he will' arouse and enthuse the staid, solid classes, and orgapize them into Lodges. Mark theTredictions: In a private letter Bro. Butts writes: " This is but the daWning,‘f the tem perance, era. This world is very young in bverything good. , Religion is only in its 3 - outh, while the Angel child temperance is not out of her cradle. And as we are , sowing the seed at morn, noon or evening, to be water by the tears and blessed by the prayers of the broken hearted ones, we anxiously ask. "'What shall the harvest be?" Our toils and sac rifices cannot be in vain. Our faith will be tried. After the 'seed time will come dreary winter with it howl ing winds and bitin g frosts and the fields will be ' covered with drifting snOw. But God will taleeleare of the seed until lle can bring !the happy spring time with its warn' sunshine and refreshing showers to develop the golden harvest." • Tits: Chicago inic'i'-o(can says: We arQ in receipt of,'a,prl i vate letter from Republican 'toter in MiSsis sippi, which indicates just exactly how inich freedom of colcience and of spec .11 there:is in that State, and why the Democratic party are so nervous ;test United_ States troops shall be sent into the Southern States to enforce the laws in thei appitach ing campaign.

EDITOR RF.I•OII.TF.R.: The billy is . near at. ham! when the Republic:to vojers of the different election districtS will be called.upon to elect delegates to the COun ty Co6entien, called for the purpo4e of nominating a county and congressi;Onal ticket, to be supported at the coming Olec tion. I fear that the people do not atiach sufficient importance to the primary niixt ings, and do not realize the necessity' of sending judicious and reliable men a sidel egates to the County Convention, ynen who understand and will carry militia , wishes of their constituents, regardless of the importunities of candidates or their friends. It is pain that the success of the canvass in this county depends lartely on the candidates nominated being satis factory to the people. I conciiiveit there fore to be the first duty of all delegateli to see that none but good, reliable and demi petent men are nominated for the seqral offices, and that the candidates are roan whose position and standing is such to secure the hearty support of every Ite011)- - lican voter l regardless of locality, or,'flitr• erence of opinion on matters of minoriim portance. We must not forget that there .are important interests coining inloithe Present canvass, that we roln not cereal to. and inuAt 'Noe ignore. Mr. Edit 4 ., I claim that all true Republicans hav,N an equal right to ask\ office at, the liand - ti the party, and the fact, that' a manjcas canvassed the county, importuning rifen to support him, or, that certain leaders7 l have promised him their support, iilno goad reason why ho shoUld be nominated: • The only question should be. is be c,an petent and well qualified to discharge the duties of the position,- and is hiS posit on and standing in the.party, and amongihis fellow men, such as to secure the united support of the party, and Will his nomiffa tion bring strength to the ticket. ilLet our„ nominating Conventions carry Out this policy in selecting candidates, andiwe will soon return to the old time majoritles of le6o-64 in Bradford-County. Let etiiry Republican who can, th&primiry meeting, and see to it that good delegles are sent to the County Conveiltion w;lio will fully' understand the preference file! wishes of their constituents, and who 101 go into the Convention with a_determina tion to advance the interest of the przeki, rather than the interest of aoy particular candidate. Do this and we will =Fel a nomination satisfactory to the party, and • all will unite in giving a hearty supportto the entire - ticket.
