Rowland Adrift.
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

evidonoe which should satisfy the most
sceptical, of tbeir effioacy, and wo beg
our readers to refer to it. Especially do

To the Polls. 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 !

The position of affairs at and ncaf
Washington remains without material
change. Our troops hav been erecting
earthworks along their new line,-and
there is great activity amonj: tbem. 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. Their
lines extend from Occoquan and Manas
as to Fairfax Court-Houso, Manassas
being their base operations. It U re
ported that they have several regiments
below Lee.-hurg. Although there sceuit?
to be, among those qualified to judjje, no
apprehenfiou of an immediate atUck on
