FALLING BACK ON PARTY.
During-the last few..months the Repnb
'lean organs_ in this ,and Bradford
county have. pathetically appealed to the
people to abandon party in time of war.
-All this was meant for IfieMocrats-F4hoping
to seduce them into voting the !Wilmot,
Grow and - Landon ticket; but lip! many .
honest Republicans, taking . their would
be leaders at their word, bolt the .party
•
ticket; and propose to vote' for men of,
their choice—wherenponthe party organs
expo - se thefarce they have been enacting.
and attempt to bully Republicans into the
nonsensical idea that they must, vote for
no man unless he and his :friends have
been rigid party inch for many years. The
'Bradeord Reporter has suddenly taken
this position; and Grow'r.i organ here fol
lows suit. ..It objects to Elhanan . Smith
running for State Senatr because he has
not always been a rank party dernagOgue,
and moreepecially because Dr. John W.
Denison, who supports him, has always
been, somewhat indepeMleut.of mere par
ty dictation, mid who once - blundered in
-among the Know-nothings along with the
editors of the Montrose Republican.
s Qtiery : If the' :Republican really be-'
lieves in the "no-party" talk in V.bieltifit
has so freely indulged preHous - to last tre4,
why•does"it now rake over, all the sjead
isms of the past in the vainhone of ud,
iii reasons why Vreethen should not'yote
as they choose, next week, without ire
garittQ party? -
The answer is plain ; WilmoVtandon,
Grow tG Co., 'always meant to ktep the
party lines tight enough to let nettle out,
but just loa'e enough to let a few it/. But
they have kept so -tight that the thiu.,dn , has
• bursted ; ; and in Bradford,•one of tinEr pa
pers and.the respeetable bulk of the party
have declared for emancipation=4rom, as
the A:igus says, a tyranny asbad assonth

together.
-`", l . *
prospect of Deili;:on's election
chty,:tild we are aftsrecably
surprised to hear of the continued acces
sions to_th-e.anti-Grow army. In addirii - on
to the support of every Democrat, many
conservative,Tefleeting Citizens, heretofore
Republican, will vote against the man who
feasted Wendell Phillips. Besides these,
.Grow's insoleace, tyranny, and selfishness
has alienated large numbers of his firmer
friends :from his support. Benjamin. S.
Bentley, Esq., is bin one among many
other nalltentMl Republicans, who, while
sustaining the fest of their party ticket,
throw oat Grow and insert Denison for
Congress —believing that in thus cutting
Grow, they are-properly rebuking a man
who has grown too haughty - for his station,
and who seeks a life-lease of orce, even
while wantonly abusing the men who have
over-generouslisustained Bins in the past.
They believelus defeat Will free the party
flank a miserly,- pensioned inenna;sance,
and leave it inure vigorous, healthy, and
prosperous - than now. At the same time,
they believe;—and from personal knowl
edge lir. Bentley certifies, thati.DeniSon's
loyalty Mat capacity are mignestionable.
Some of Grow s- present and Mine of hid
late frielith Vase each estimated his prob
able mujority - in this cotutty, and w-e may
state the-latter only alloW half the number
which the .former claim—and the 'claim' is
made up)nst large enough -to give -hint a
little start in Ltizerne, but not, as our side
estimate; to balance Deaison's: Majority.
Grow will be defdattA, but his opponents
must run no risks, but beat him as bad -as
possible. .
Carnlr. Grow has gone to J.,u2ernc,anq
we learn that.he says:A.lldt althougl? he
has heretofore consented to talk to suit a
class of tender-fobted- republicans-in that
county; he shall now talk to suit ,himself.
We are pleased-to hear this, and hope ISe
will treat the congerrativ.e people.there to
his hothe Speech. Let him ‘!go in" on the
African idea, and repeat his -usual threat
that he would so use the war power as to
make the land such a desert that a Carrion
Crow could - not fly'from here—dtifOntrose----
pc> the Gulf of Mexico. Luzerne would be'
interested 'in such 'talk, being, between
here and the Gulf. We trust that the
pe4le of Luzerne will elect Cliarles.Deq=
