Ihe Comlns Election.
Terhaps no more favorable epportonity
than fhe present will ever occur, for rescu
ing this government from the hand of men
who are demonstrated to be until for it gui
dance through the fiery ordeal we are now
undergoing. The people are awake to the
dac&er, and are resolved to meet it. We
Lave tried the radicals, agitators and aboli
tion if-ts long enongh. They have succeed
ed,by their foolish and impractable schemes
and legislation, only in uniting the Sooih as
one man against "as, and .of dividing the
IVorhlnto parties, which.anless more mod
. erate counsels prevail, promise soon to be
came as deadly hostile to each other as the
ho nth can wish.
The President who regards bis oath, the
General who is opposed to negro insurrec
tion, and the citizen that dares talk of con
stitutional obligations and privileges have
already become obnoxious to tbi progress
ive school, and where the end will be, un
less the people arise in their majesty and
aeit their independence, we fear to con
jecture. The ballci box is now onr only remedy.
Let every patriot consider attention to poli
tics liis. sacred duty; for, until all the cor
mpt and timeserving demagogues who, for
yean past, have osnrped the places of bun
en men, have been utterly weeded out, we
need hope for bnt for little change for the
better. Let cs, theiefore, wine out the
etd'o auu uegin anew.
The coming elections are extremely im
ponimt,as the complexion cf the law-make-ing
power may be entirely changed there
by. Besides the State ticket, which we have
had a' the head of enr columns for several
weeks, we have a member of Congress and
of tie Sia:e Legislature to elect, as well as
teveral minor, though important, county of
ficers. The fact that the term . of office of
that rampart partizan, David Wilmot. will
expire on the 4ih of March next, at which
time it will devolve upon our Legislature to
choose his uccessor, renders it especially
desirable that the Democracy should receive
majority in -that body this fait. With a
Democratic Senator to succeed ilenot and
a ir oderate Republican like Cowan as his
colleague, the Keystone State will not be
likely to disgrace herself in the. higher
branch of our National Legislature for years
fo came, as she has during the past term.
Let every in an who lovea his country bend
bis energies to this end.

Frocccdlags of tie Congressional Confereaca.
The Democratio Conference met at tha
Eicbanga Hotel in Bloomshurg, Sept. 30th,
18G2, agreeably to the adjoarument.-
The several conlerecs from the entire dl
trict were present.
C. Ent, from the Committee app:inted
to make a report on the exifting Congress
ional apportionment madetho following
report.
The Committee appointed by the Confer
ence to prepare a statement on the Biibject
cf tlie ezicting Congressional apportion
ment, make report as follows :
That upon examination it will appear
tha the present arrangement of Congres
sional districts in this Staiei an unjust one,
and the authors of it are etiargeab e with
the highest degree of partizan se'rihne.s
and disregard of the rishtx of the people.
It is proposed to chow, briefly, the lead
ing facta in relation to the passage of the
laws on this subject, including a designs
lion of some of those who supported and
are responsible for them.
In the State Senate, Feb. 26:h, 1861, on
motion of Mr. McClnre, it was
Resolved, That a se'ect commit'ee of sev
en be appointed to report to the Senate a
bill apportioning the St.ite into Congression
al districts,
It was ordered that Messrs McClnre Fin
ney, Gregg, Schindel, Smith. LAN DON and
Lawrence be said Committee.
. This Committee, composed of six Re
pablicans and one Democrat, on the 9h of
April 186 1 , reported a bill entitled, -n act
to divide the State into Congressional dis
tricts for the election of Representative in
the Congress of the United States." The
next day. April 10th, the Senate revoked
itself ino Committee of the Whole upon
the bill, when after some time, the bill was
reported back to the Senate with amend
ments. It was then taken up on second
reading, and agreed to with one unimport
ant amendment, oher amendments propos
ed by Pemocratic Senators beina voted
down. The rule which prohibits the read
ing of bills twice on the same day as then
dispensed with and the bill was rea l a
third time, and paused finllj by the lollow
in? vote :
Ytrs Messrs. Benson, Bonghter. Bound,
Connell. Finney. Fuller, Gres. Halt, Hum

Nat Messrs. Blood, Clymer, Crawlord
Mott, Nichols, Schindel, Thompson and

The bill then went to the Hou of Rep
resentatives, where it was considered on
the 10 ifi a'id 12th days of April Amon
other amendments propped to the bill was
or.e by Mr. Tracy, ot Bradford to Mrik
out in the 25ih line the words Wayne, and
Luzerne counties" and ir.sert in lien thereof
the words, "Bradford, Tioga and SnUivai
counties," the effect of which would hae
been to place the latter counties with Su
quehanna county to torm a Congressional
district. This amendment was rejected by
a vote of yeas. 36 nays 46, and all other
amendments were also rejected except one
relating to a Philadelphia district.which was
subsequently concurred in by the Senate
On the 13ih of April the bill pa-sed the
House, finally, by the following vote :

This bill, (which was subsequently sign
ed by the Governor and became a Uw,)
divided the State into twer.ty three Congres
sional districts, that being the nnmber of
Congressmen wtveh it s? nn.lefwiod tins i
State waser.titled to under the United States
census ot 1860. But in forming the di
tricts the most oncrupul jus and disgrace
ful partian6hip and dishonesty were mao
ifesied. Both Houses hid large Republican
majorities, and the. Governor being ol the
same party, ttiere was no check upon po
litical passion and injustice.
At the election of Governor in I860, Mr
Foster had 230 000 votes, and Mr. Cunin
262.000. -The majority of the latter was
therefore 32,000, which, estimating voters
as one fifili of the whole people, would
represent a population of 160 000, some
what but not largely in eicess of the num
ber nece-sary for one member of Conaresa.
A fair apportionment therefore wo. .Id have
Riven Ivcetve Republican and eleven Demo
cratic distiicts, upon the basis of ihe gnber
tiatorial vote of IHP0. But the bill was so
framed as to give nine'een Republican and
but four Democratic Districts, up that
basis of calculation. To accompll-li this
result the natural connections of comities
were disregarded , districts of very unequal
population were made, and in some cases
counties were divided ami the parts put in
ilifTerent districts. Never since the Sate
was founded bad such a bill been enacted
regulating the representation of the people,
nor any oue even approaching it in dishon
esty. In effect it was to transfer no less than
seven Congressional votes from one party
to the other, making a difference of four
teen toie upon any political question in
the National Hout-e ol Representatives.
It will be observed that Sena'or Landon,
of Bradford, the present Republican candi
dal for Cougress, in thi district, was one
of the Committee that reported ih bill m
the Senate, and that he subsequently sup
ported it by hi vote.
The arrangement of districts made by the
act of 1861, was subjected to some modifi
cation as to the eastern part ot the State, by
an act passed at the lat se-sion but its
essential features were not disturbed. Sub
sequent to the passage ot the act ol 1861 it
was ascertained from the corrected census
returns that this State would be entitled to
twenty-lour members of Congress instead
of twenty-three, and hence a new appor
"tionment became necessary. But in fram
ing the new act (approved IClb April 1862)'
care was taken to retain as much as pos
sible of the act of 1861, and thus continue
the party injustice established by it
By the new bill this Congressional dis
trict was made more strongly Republican
than before, as Northumberland county was
taken from it In 1860 the vote for Govern
or in the present district was as follows :

On motion,
Resolved ', That" the report be adopted;
agreed to unanimously.
Tho - following resolution' was also
unanimously adopted, '
' Jieso!ve'l That the report of the commit
tee be published with the proceedings : of
this conference. 4
On motion of V. E. Piollet seconded by
Mr. Amnicrman.
Rtsolcel, That in view of existing cir
cumstances in this Congressional District,
this conference, will make no formal nom
ination ot a candidate for support by the
Democracy, which was adopted by etery
vote in the conference.
Jiesolved. That the members of thU
Conference recommend tho 6uppon; of
Henry. W. Tracy, of Bradford, as an
luaepenaeni candidate lor Uongresa
against Reverend George Landon, the
Republican nominee, for the following
reasons : .
1. Because the former opposed the ini
quitous Congressional apportionment of
1861, while the latter was one of the un
scrupulous authors of that measure.
2. Because the former as a member of
the House of Representatives at Harris
burg, opposed those recent bills of plunder
and outrage relating to the Pecnsylvinia
and Sunbury and Erie rail-roads, waich
have deeply injured and disgraced the
Commonwealth, while the latter supported
them by speech and vote in the Seuata.
3. Because the former at the late iess
ion of the Legislature earnestly supported
the repeal of the act commuting the ton
nage duties of the Pennsylvania rail-rsad,
and is giving and will give his efforts and
influence to secure that just and important
object hereafter.
4. Because, f peaking generally, the for
mer is a conservative gentleman whose in
tegrity has been well-proved in public po
sition, whils the latter is believed to be
fanatical in sentiment and corrupt in con
duct. Itcsolved, That in view of the corruption
and profligacy that are known to exist in
our national affairs, it is of the highest
importance to te'.ect a Congressman whose
integrity has borne the test of trial, and
who has shown independence and courage
in the performance of public duty. It is
believed that this is true of Mr. Tra.cy,
and that in his support of the War and the
Government, he will labor in good faith to
restore the Ution of our fathers and to
preserve all the Constitutional rights of the
peopfe.
liesofved. That inasmuch as this district
wai formed to smother the voice of tha se
veral Democratic, counties within it, and
one of the authors of that measure now pre
sents himself as a candidate, that he may
reap the fruit of his iniquity, there is pe
culiar reason for junction of effort among
all honorable men to mark him with pub
lic reprobation and prevent him from re
pealing his past misdeeds, or others like
unto them, in a position of increased i nflu
ence and power.
Adopted unanimously.
Ilolveiy That the next Congressional
Conference he held upon the first Thurs
day in September, 1664, at the Exchange
Hote',in Bloomburg, at 12 o'clock, M.
Adjourned sine die.

The Poblie Dtbt.
The Republican papers are enJeavoring
to make their readers believe that our pub
lic debt is only about 1500,000,000." The
annual interest on this sum, at six percent
would be f J30.000 000) fAiYfy millions of del
i. The Direct Tax Bilf, drawn by Thad.
Stevens, and passed by a Republican Con
gress, for the purpose of paying the inter
est on ihe public debt, is (SI 50,000,000) one
karnii ed ar.d Jijty millions of dollars per annum.
Now, either the Republican papers are
wrong, or Congress has grossly deceived
and swindled the people on this point, by
taxing them jnst five times as heavily as wa
necessary I We leave the people to judge
between the Republican papers and the Re
publican Congres! The amount f f lax
levied by Congress ($150 000 000) is the
inteiest, at six per cent, of twenty five Aun
dred millions of dollars I ($2,500,000,000)
which sum, we presume, Congress believed
the public debt would amount to by the
time the assessment should be made !
If we are wrong, we trust some Republi
can editor, of financial proclivities (Forney,
for instance,) will set ns right. We are
srmewbat anxious to see some arithmeti
cian cypher out thin matter so as to show
why SI50;000,000 were levied as the annu
al interest on a debt cf 8500,000,000. Ac
cording to our 4 figurin," this is reckoning
interest at 30 per cent, and is, the refore,
rank usury !
What Thty Want Aeit.
The radicals, having forced the President
to issne a paper proclamation which is to
"end the war in sixty days," nor want
Halleck and McClellan to be removed from
the army. The Abolition organ, tho Inde
pendent, says the Cabinet and the Gener
als tnnst all be discharged, and Wendell
Phillips, in a recent article in the Inclepend
ent, over his own name, argues that the
new policy can be carried out only ay men
who sympathize with it. He says :
"Of what ose would such a procla mation
be, if Halleck and McClellan in tha field,
and B air and Seward in the Cabinet, are
left to execute it ? It would not b worth
the paper it wasted.
"If the President shonld proclaim eman
cipation, and Halleck, McClellan a nt Buel
smother under pretence of executing the
the measure, it will be a failure. Let us
provide beforehand against such a danger.
Let it be understood now that our claim ot
the Government is satisfy yourselies fully
that yonr conciliation policy has failed,
then we demand a proclamation of f-eedom-war,
on war principles, to be conduced by
such men as Sumner, of Massachusetts.
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and Wade, of
Ohio, and their friends in the Cabinet, and
by Hunter, Siegel and Fremont in the field."
The desire of Phillips and the Abolition
ists is, evidently, to make this an Abolition
negro war. Will the President second the
motion by removing McClellan ?
CTDiDTts shonld see at once to the dis
tribution of their tickets. Th liane it ahOTt.

Kulp, of Lnzerne co., who were arrested a
few days since, at Wilkesbarre, upon the
information of some inlamoos sneaking
scoundrel, who dare not disclose his name,
were, at last accounts in the custody ot the
Sheriff of that county. The charge against
them, is said to be the "discouraging ot en
listments," though nothing of the kind has
been proved. Mr. Chase has published the
statements and affidavits of Judge Coiyng
ham, Stanley Woodward, Judge Reichard,
C. C Plotts, Capt. Mayer, Angelo Jackson,
and others which entirely eicnlpates him
frcirn th-s chires made against him.
It is reported that some forty others in that
county, among them Charles Denison, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, have
been put down by some sneaking informer
for arrest. They will find that this game of
intimidating democrats by imprisonments,
or threats of it, will not accomplish the ob
ject intended, but will, in the end, recoil
npon their own guilty heads.
Before Republicans repeat the slander
oos charge that Democrats are secession
sympathisers let them read the following
record, and show a better one for themselves
if they can :
The only son ol General Robert Flernina,
the choice of this county for Congress, is in
the army.
Three sons and a son in-law of John B
Beck, the Democratic candidate for Member
of Assembly, are in ihe army.
Hon. C. D. Eidred, the Democratic can
didate for Prothonotary. is in the army.

ocratic candidate for Sheriff, was killed in

Tlie Era of Great Events Real Benefit, ta

This is an era of grand ideas and mag
nificent projects ; but among them all, there
bio i-umpoiaiiicij c w wiucu uave; tor tne
aim and object the interests of humanity.
: .. ... -t i . . :
continually temg introduced, but what
they add to the happiness or com'ort
mankind 1 Nothing. One mind, with
its powers directed to the amelioration of
suffering, has accomplished more for the
real good of the race, than all the inventors
engaged in the attempt to abridge time and.
space can ever achieve. ,We allude to
Thomas HoLLOwr,whose PILLS and OINT
MENT may be said to be omnipresent
throughout the world. The Pills are work
ing such wonders in caes of confirmed dys
pepsia, that physicians everywhere are
compelled to prescribe them, and tbe lima
is not distant when for all diseases of the
stomach and bowels, they will be the only
preparation which any intelligent individuv
al wdl dare to use. Millions of dollars
have been expended in making Dr. Hollow
ay's medicines knownj and they art known
in every land where there is a written lan
guane. In this country they are especially
appreciated, for there is scarcely a com
plaint incident In our climate for which
they are not absolute specifics. Under such
circumstances, the enormous and ever in
creasing demand for them scarcely seems
extraordinary, alth jagn it has no parallel iq
medical history -N. Y Courier.
Tbe Northnnberland coonty Agricultural
Fair will be held at Milton, ou the 1st, 2nd

The State Agricultural Fair will be held
at Norristown, on ihe 30th ins;.t and 1st, 2J
