Nodo of the Dcmocraticpapers in tbi Legislative District, advocate, the election of Gcoree H. Rowland. Alas ! for the Diotators' pot candidate. Mr. Walton's Speech. We were pleased to listen, as we did on 'Wednesday night last, to the able and pa triotic address made by thcllon. James H Walton, Treasurer of he Philadelphia Mint, at the meeting at. the Indian Queen Hotel, in this borough, to jhe soldiers of Capt. Slut Icrs Company, now organizing as Company P. of Col. Staunton's regiment, In it the speaker, took the bold, unanswerable ground that this rebellion had been hatching for years; and that it mattered not who had been inaugurated President on the 4lh of March last, the status of the country, through the machinations of vile traitors, would have been the same" that it is now. The Hon gentleman most eloquently sustained the po' sition, that for Northern men to crv peace at this time, is to abet treason, and that there should be no offer of compromise save from the cannon's mouth. The subjugation of the rebels was all that was. left for the true friends of the Union to do. Taken all in all. the speech was Union up to the hub; and stamped the speaker as second to no man in his love for and determination to support the Union. Important to Election Judges. We publish to-daj the laws of Penn Rylvania, authorizing tbo Yolunteers from this State, in the services of the United Statos, to voto for State and County offi cers in their several encampments. We, aloo, publish tbo able 'Opinion of Attor Bey-General .Meredith as to the applica tion of the provisions of the Laws to the present emergency, nnd would invite the careful attention of Election officers to both. In many of the counties of tbc State tbo Sheriffs, in their u?ual procla mation, fixd the time for the meeting of the return Judges, in November. In our own county the time fixed for such meet ing is on Friday immediately succeeding the day of election. It is tbc duty of the return, judges to meet on thst day, under the proclamation; but we think there can be no doubt that it is equally their duty whfo they do so meet to adjourn until the day fixed by the law wo publish this week before consummating the work to be done by then. ' Rush's Philadelphia Light Cavalry. We notice that a recruiting office for tbi regiseent has been opened in Strouds burg, two door west of the Jeffersoniso Office. Tbis is a rare opportunity fo the active young men of our county to enter a most agreeablo branch of the mil itary service of the country. The Colo nel of tbi regiment, Ricbard Henry Rush. is i graduate of West Point, and was a classmate of Gen. G. B. McClellan. He bas seen service. The Lieut., Col. Mc Arthur, formerly of the U. S. Artillery, bis been in service sixteen years. Eve ry comfort is provided for the mon , and young men who enlist may rest aspured that tbey will be well taken care of. The present camping ground of the regi ment id described in tho Philadelphia Prons as a most beautiful place, providod with every convenience ; and as the hor aes are already on the ground, active drill dispells the ennui so usual in camps of instruction. It i expected that tho reg aont, when full, will proceed to the seat of war on horseback, instead of by the usual railroad route. A bettor opportu ally for our yoang men will not again tars op. XHIPTbe very best medioincs in use a rflong us are those prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., of Lowell. He is a gradu ate of the Peon. University, whoso con nexion with that celebrated College of Medicioe bas conferred more distinction upon it, than its Diploma bas upon him. His remedies have become household words not only in tbis country, but in al most every region ofthe earth inhabited fcj man. Their extraordinary fame hab arisen from tbeir extraordinary virtues and these are certified by men of the highest ftation. We publish in our is ue to-day, a document t-igoed by the Mayors of tbc great cities in the United States, Canadas, Mexico, Peru, And Bra til each of whom certify that the rhysi ouns and drugcistsfof tbeir respective lo- ealities have given tbeir assurance of the gnifora good effects and superior virtues f Doct.

I Next Tuesday, voterB, we will again bavc tho privilege of going to the polls and oasting our votes for thoso whom we may deem most worthy of our support. This is no trifling pivilcge, and ono which when properly ued, results in great good It is the imperative duty of every honest freeman, to oast his vote so that it may tend to purify the political atmosphere. To do this, those who make politics a trade; those who assume to bold offices in their hands and deal them out, as a v am bier does his cards, to those whom they can render subservient to their unworthy aspirations, tuch rotten wire-pullers voters, deserve most richly at yoar hands on next Tuesday, a withering rebuke. We trust you will givo tbem tbeir deserts You will remember that a Represonta live joint Convention was held iu the Court House of this place, a few weeks cince, and that by a trickery and fraud unprecedented in the history of such Con ventions in this Logislativo District, de prived a worthy man of a nomination to which he was fairly entitled, because the rotten wire pullers found him to be too honest, independent and straight forward to be rendered a tool to carry out their long since laid selfish schemes. There fore tbo diotators conspired against him and deprived him of that which was just iy his own, and made, so too, by tbe peo pie, in spite of tho gambling politicians Tbe wire-pullers then put in nomination their pet, George H. Rowland, a man whose loyalty is strongly called in ques tion, and they ask you to vote for him becauso he is their man. Let every one then, who regards jus tice and right as superior to triokcry and fraud ; every voter who regards an up right loyal man aa being more worthy than the wirepullers' pliant tool with questioned loyalty, let all such cast their votes for the Union Peoples' man John C. Westbrook. And thus will trickery, corruption, and doubted loyal ty, together with tbeir adjuncts, the gambling wire pullers, be signally re fcukod and your manhood vindicated against the gross insults of these trick sters in attempting to compel you to elect to the Legislature their pet tool, G. H. Rowland. Let every one then be up and do his duty until the polls close on next Tuesday, and John C. Westbrook will be our next Representative by an over whelming vote. But why talk ? The people ondorstand their duty and are do ing it nobly. The dictators' candidate is bound to be laid out. Don't Like It. The. Milford Herald seems to think that we ought not to ay anything against its master's candidate for the Legislature. Wo can easily excuse tbo folly of the Herald in thus presuming to dictate to us what we oubt or ought not to do ; for it has no voice of its own, and is simply a puppet in tho hands of the chief of tbe wire-pullers. But wc would take this occasion to remind it that we are entire ly free from its master's dictation, and are therefore at perfect liberty to do whatever propriety may suggest. Be side h this, it is entirely too small an in stitution to receive further notico from us at this time. It may as well know, howev er, that tbe peoplo have taken its mas- tcrs's candidate in hand and are fully de termined to lay him out next Tuesday. Crowing. The Chiefs drank freely and sang sweetly in triumph after they had slaugh tered Mr. Wottbrook, as they imagined tbey had, by their latcpacked Convention. They knew that Mr. Westbrook was too honest and upright to be made a tool o by theni-to advance their FelSb purposes and therefore tbey sought to slaughter him, and put iu nomination George H Rowland wbo is a man just to tbeir liking Tho Chiefs then thought the pcopl would be compelled to obey their orders that tbey would not dare to even attempt to thwart tbeir purposes; that the peopl fear tbe Chiefs in their imperial plumage and that therefore their dictation would bo meekly obeyed by those very persons whose undoubted wishes they bad set at defiance. We decidedly mistake the signs of the times, if tbo setting of next Tuesday's sun don't suffice to teach these rotten wire pulling Chiefs, that the people are yet free and dare proclaim tbeir manhood in spite of tbeir frowns or tbeir iuiperia thunder, lbey will not support an objectionable man, to please the Chiefs, after they have attempted to slaughter a good man in order to make room for their pet. The people have tho voting to ao tnia jj-gi and, if we are not mistaken, a decided majority will vote for John C. Westbrook for Rcpresenta tive. Military Meeting. A Military Meeting will bo held on Sat- urday next, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, t the public hoaee of Charles Saylor, Bq , in Hamilton township, to recruit Volunteers for our Army. Speeches will bo" mado Samuel S. Dreher, E-qejland fibers. Fright and Money. Tbo Rowland wire-pullers of Pike, wo learn, are greatly exercised and awfully frightened, and are pouring out their money likewater to mako Rowland vo tars. But the Diotators' power is broken; their prestige i9 gone, and the honest vo ters are set free from the influence of their beguiling money and delusive prom ises, and are going to elect Westbrook by an overwhelming vote, in spite of tho pipo-layers protests and Rebel sympathi zing whinings. Secession Papers. Tbe New-York Day-Book and Daily News were for a long time advocating the Rebels causo with all their power; and in consequence of their undoubted seces sionist tho Government Btopped their circulation a few weeks since. Accord ing to a letter of a correspondent from the neighborhood of the homo of the wire pullers' candidate, it appenjs that M r. Rowland said that thoso vilo seces sion sheets "were the only papers fit to be taken, and that their sentiments were bis." Yet he tells us, since his nomination by the packed Convention, that he is a Union man. Don't this seem a little funny, and, for this season of the year, remarkably cool T Wbo can doubt his eontimentB at heart ? Strange. It is well known that George H. Row land, the candidate for the Assembly put forward by tbe late paoked Convention has the undivided support of tbe Brcck iuridgeites and original sympathizers with Jeff. Davis; and that all the meetings held to advance bis political interests, have been officered and entirely controlled by men of tbis stripe. Such are the specia lovers of Mr. Rowland, and tbo most bit ter haters of Mr. Westbrook. But Mr. Rowland tells us that he is a Union man and bas no sympathy with seceesionism Then why is it that these strange oharao ters are so warmly attached to bim, if be has no feelings in common with them and their idol Jeff. Davis I Now is not tbis a little strange, and does it not look just slightly as if there was a nigger in the fence ! Continuation of Court Proceedings.

It ie now clearly ascertained that the Reb els have not sent auy of their forces to the Upper Potomac; they have rrcrcl retired further back into Virginia.
