-the slightest opposition. In carefolly look

-where Mr. Tracy wilf be able to get any

are going to support Jccge Mcrcor for the

cot a shade w of ac'ianco for Mr. Tracy's
nomination. ' Jl is reported to us that quite
a change has taken place in Bradford coun

; A few days'ago we were shown acorres
ponJence in one of the West Branch pa
pers, signed "K," on the affairs in Colum
bia county, in which the writer talks about
' Copperhead Rebels, " " defiles in jhe
Mountains, " "seven hundred men thor
oughly armed and equipped," with a com
plete supply of ammunition from New York
all under command of Capt. John M. Buck
alew, formerly of the United States service,
jmd brother to the Senator I These troops
were gotten-together from "New York and
other localities !" So' says Mr. '-'K.-' "No
body but an Abolitionist co'd have crowded
so much falsehood in so small a spate.
The writer had betrer come and pay s visit
to this county, ana examine in'o the "de
files in' the MonrHains," beforr he attempts
to enlighten the world on th affairs of thN
county, il he has any desire to be ' truthful,
and riot make himself aain appear so ri
dicu!ouly false By soch lying icrurtlrels
as 1 K" this "big scare" wa gotten up iu
our county. They succeeded by misrepre
sentation and feisnd fright to get an array
here, with a live Major General and his com
pliment ot omcers. l ney havn reen so
journing here for several week, amnino
and harrafting themselves part of the lime
on the -mountains searching for that Fort
and those 'entrenckmei3?' which the Ato.
litionists had assured them were in exis
tence, garrisoned with seven houdred to a
thousand men," well equipped and arm
ed I" Thb search has been given up, the
army becoming disgusted, and the Aboli
tionists considerably exercised, knowing
that they have placed themselves into a
alee position, out of which they cannot
easily extricate their corrupt carcasses. Cer
lain loyal falsifiers, we learn, have petition
ed to "he authorities to hav'n at least one
company remain in their midst. Oh ! dear
me ! Afier this, behave yourselves, disre
gard the writings of sueh scamps as "K,"
and ycu will have no reason to fear your
neighbors,-or know that yon have belied
and done them public injury, which has
been indelibly stamped iu their minds and
which will take years to erase or obliterate.
Weare often eurprised to find so few Sew
ing Machines in nee in our section of the
country. In the large cities, every family
has' its Sewing Machine, and 'they "would
not be without one for ten times its cost
It is certainly the most useful and econom
ical invention ot the age, and we advise
our readers to hesitate no longer, but see to
gelling one of the labor and life saving
Machines. There are a great many -kinds
of Sewing Machines, and we have taken
some pains to examine into their respective
merits, and we bavecome to the conclusion
that the Wheeler & Wilson, Highest Pre
mium Sewing Machine, is decided.'y the
best. ....
These unequalled Machines are adapted
to eirery variety of sewing for family wear,
from the lightest muslin to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upou sitk,
linen, woollen, and cotton goods, with silk,
cotton, or linen thread. They will seam,
quilt, gather, bem, .fell, cord, braid, bind, and
perform every kind ot sewing, making a
beautiful and perfect -stitch, alike on both
sides of the article sewed. The sewing wid
never unravel or wash out.
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chines are so simple that a child can work
them with ease. Printed instructions are
sent with every Machine, so that any one
can operate them without any trouble or
difficulty.; Every Machine is warranted,
and the money returned it not entirely sat
isfactory. .
Over Ffty Thousand of the celebrated
Wheeler & Wilson Sewinj Machines sre
sold every year, and yet the demand is so
great that they can hardly be supplied as
fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed and sent In good order to any por
tion ot the cour.try.
. We hope our readers will write at once
to the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No. 70i
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, and cat one
of their Almanacs for .1865, and pecimei.s
of work done by the Machine, all of which
they will send by mail, free of charge, to
any address. We should be glad to see an
Agency for the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machine established in oar locality. We
know them to be the best, moel simple ar.d
cheapest Machine in use. - - -

The Democracy of the Lycominc District
have nominated Theodore Wright. Eqr ,
of Clinton coutity, for Congress. The dis
trict is composed of Centre, Clinton, Potter,
Lycomina and Tiosa coonties From pres
ent indications the Opposition are quarreling
over their candidate ; Lycoming claims the
man, but Tioga insists fhe candidate is not
due them, on the ground that they (Tioga)
have to do the voting.' The Tioga couoty
men have pnt forward Stkvem F Wilson
and tbe Lycoming men W. H. Armstrong.
The Democrats feel pretty sanjrnine in elec
ting their man if the breach continues in
the Opposition ranks "'
The Democrats have' chosen Hon. John"
Walls, of Union, as their candidate for the
office of Senator, He is said to be one of
the roost popular men in the district, and
the Republicans very mnch fear his elec
tion. The Opposition have nominated, by
a good deal of turning and twisting, Charles
H. Shriner.an apostate democrat, who once
called himself, and as late as last Fail on
tbe stump for Cortin, "a Jactionian Demo
crat n " .
- In the Representative district they elect
three Members. ' Lycoming presents John
Piatt Union Dr. Charles Wilson; and Sny
der, Daniel S. Doyer.' Their" prospect tor
an election look encouraging. The Democ
racy ol that district can boast of having an
excelled ticket and should use, as they no
doubt will, alt fair and honorable means io
their power to elect it. ;" .

of our soldier friends says'ihe army is right
for Little Mac', and we don't waot to hear
tell of one shoddy being elected " : Such is

ol. Victor E. Piollct
;0or candidate for Congress is so wel'
known io the people ol this District, as ;to
make it unnecessary for us to introduce
him by any extended notice. His large ex
perience in pnbiic affairs pointed him out
j a.tfte very man for the timea: as'Super-
intendeut'of poblic works, as Paymaster
inthe army in the war 'with Mexico, and
a a member of the ' State ' Legislature,' he
has proved himself to be an honest as well
as capable public servant. ,
The corrupt schemes of ambition or ve
nal men have always when known hy him,
been exposed and denounced in bold ar.d
fearless terms scherrres to Tob the public
Treasury, such as the act to repeal the ton
aue tax, ar.d all sir.iilar legislation have
been so fiercely- attacked -and so fully ven
tilated by him as to make him an object oi
hate to all that class of men who are held
together by the cohesive power of public
plunder.
Ha a farmer and large tax payer, hav
ing a deep intetest in common with his
fellow-citizens in reducing the public ex
penditures to the lowest posib'e point
F?r year he has urged she reat disparity
hetweeu the salaries of officers and the
pay awardeJ to mechanics and other labor
er, as a reason for reduction of the former
In short he is a Democrat who sympathise
with the penpie in their wants and wishes,
who above all desires a restoration of peace
and the integrity of the Union, and who
would lend every energy to the accomp
lishment of these desirable ends, in the
shortest possible time.
We bespeak for him, the votes of all who
are willing to have peace , npon the basis
of the Constitution and the Union. We do
not expect that those who hae set up the
negro as their God will give him their
support Every other Elector we hope will.

A Greenback well Invested. A year
ago several journals united in recommend
ing their readers to invest a Dollar Green
back" in securing thai very excellent Jour
nal (or the Household (including :be Little
Ones), for the Garden, and for the Farm,
called .the American Agriculturist. Many
persons were thus led to subscribe, and we
believe all who did fo hs.ve been much
more than satisfied. They have received
the 23d Animal Volume of the Jgricullurist
which is full of good things, useful, practi
cal, and entertaining. and just now the Pub
lisher is sending out to each of his subscri
bers applying, a present ol a plant of one
of the most remarkable Strawberries thai
have ever been brought out. These plants,
when sold by tbe only olber person having
them, go readily at 75 cents each. So the
Greenback invested last year bas certainly
pad well. All we have now to say is, lei
all, oi hers go and do likewise. Notwith
standing the present advance in cost, the
Publisher still offers to lake subsc ribrs thi.
month (September) at 1 a year, or from
now to the end ol 1865 (fifteen monib) for
Si 15. And still furthar, he offers one of
the remarkable Srrawberry Plants) ent
free and post-paid, to every new'subscribwr
v ho encloses 5 cents extra for oil cloih,
packing, ani postage on the plant.- Our
advice to all is to send the Dollarfor the
1.15), and the extra 5 cents at once- to Or
ange Jem, Publisher of the Agriculturist ,
at 41 Park Row, New YorkCitv, and ge i
the papeT, etc. You will get a moat beau
tiful, well illustrated, practical paper, anj
the cheapest one in the country, fo say

The Lincoln men see that slvVldy is ' to
be beaten unless some Democrats can be
hired io abandon McCIellan. For this pur
pose they are trying to get ultra peace. men
to start a new candidate so as to help old
Abe.. If peace men want to elect Lincoln
and secure ionr years, more oi drafts and
taxes, shoddy will pay them well for their
aid. Bat it can't be done ; a few men or
editors who want to divide the Union, and
therefore prefer Lincoln to McCIellan, may
threaten or try to get op a so-called "peace"
candidate," fof Lincoln's benefit, but titer
people who really want PEACE and UN
ION, will help os elect Little Mac, the
People's Man. .
All who are opposed to fighting to
free negroes should not support Lincoln. .

Con-

Conferees of the several count int. compris
ing this district as a candidate for the post
of Representative in Congress, i have a
lew words to express to you, and ehalfeo
licit lor them due consideration and friend-
ly
construction.
The unanimous nomination given me by
the Conference, was tei.drirad under cir
cumstances precluding a refusal Al
though recommended by my county, 1
was in favor ol he nomination of a tten
!teman it much merit mid patriotic service,
resident In ihe Niuthern part ot the di
me!, ami would have been yreuily gratified
by h;s selection.
This becoming impossible I hare acced
ed io the Mit-liesol the Coriterei-, ' ex
pressed in my f.ominatio:i, and have lhu
become a criJidjte bjlore you tor your
support at the approach' g elertio'i.
At an ordinary time I should be reluc
tant to Hand forward in my pretnt attitude
and assume all the responsibilities con
nected with it.
At such u time the labor, expense, and
perhaps' Dtrundly criticism ot a popular
canvass, might well deter one whose busi
ness pursuits are ample to engross his at
tentionand who has no keen ambition to
gratily, Irim entering 'upon a IrouMed
scene of political contest as a candidate.
But this is no ordinary time, ' The very
foundations of the great deep are broken
up." and our vessel of state is threatened
with mter destruction. And iJ is not Un
ion atone which is put in peril in this war,
bat liberty and national prosperity also.
The constitutional system e-iablished by
our fathers, which secured Union,. Liberty
and Prosperity, is struck al by many impi
ous r.aii lt1, and its ilelenre by patriotic and
juM men his been hindered or prevented
by circumstance beyond their control .
My conviction is that the redemption of
the country mu-t co-ne Irocn, ti e people
themselves by their t-ffective interp siuon
ir. pubiic iifliir, iio; solely in tlie election
ot a rhiet Magistrate but al-0, largely in trie

krers. . The iron Med fie!rof putilic affairs
is now open before them, and itiey can de
termine the policy of the Inture in tht se
lection ot agents to represent '.hern in the
Government.-
I fully endorse and believe the doctrine
thai the Representative is hound by ihe
will of his constituents. Giving promi
nence to the principle, yon may rest assur
ed ihat in case ol try election to the post
of Representative, power will not pass
from your hands Ij be exercised aamst
your will, even (or the brief space of two
years; and in all questions where your will
is not pronounced yon may find the basis
of my action in the habits and association
of ray past life.

however be permitted to exprex niysell

In common with the mass of my fellow

actual situation oi ihe country. . To say
that th'e solution ot a war for the suppress

orable peace, opon the basis of a restored
Union is simply to acknowledge that we f
the present generation are incapable of
maintaining the lorm of government be
queathed to us by our fathers. Peace-
peace withont disunion is what, above all
things-, 1 most ardently oesire, and 1 firmly
belie il may be attained without the sur

You who toil and labor to create wealth
from the earth, and the workshop, working
men, farmers and mbcranic5 require legis

suits, particularly when ihe tax laws are
finally adjusted to meet the requirements
ol the country, in view of our vast Nation

cluded in ihe above classification have a
right :o repel the greed ol Capital when ex
tended to the point ol injustice, and to re
quire that it pay its j ist share of all the

short account of our peregrination hither
might nierest your readers. On the morn

unceremoniously aroused from my bed by
thumping at the door ot my house. Look
ing our in the dim twilight I saw my resi
dence was surrounded by a sqtad ol caval

it, one Capt ' Lambert stepped in, enquired
il my name was Jas. McHenry, and if I
kepi the stors on the corner ; bing answer
ed in the affirmative, be aid Col. S'ewarx
wanted to see me at Benton. Four o( the
squad remaining the balance galloped down
lo New Columbus, as' I attvrwur.U learned,

I tully "irightened condition ; (ee article in

hnn-tt, found quite a number o! the cirizens
ol the surrounding coii ftrj had been simi
larly ar.-e-ied and brought there, quite a
larye con-rea ion for so une'a0'taul an
hour, 'door a'd' window 'gaarded Instead
ot tne Preacht-r in the pulpit men iu unilotm
occupied it. Alter a goo I deal of whispsr
ing and erasures and significant signs lorty
five ol os were raptd y marched lo'Blooms
burg, arrivmg there ir, ihe evening, tired
and teei sore, as nearly all marched on fool ;
were hurried down to the Depot, rushed
aboard the cars with no knowledge of our
destination; stopped a few minutes al North
umberland. but no chance for any'retreh
ments ; arrived at Harrisbnrg about 2 A. M.,
changed cars, arrived at Philadelphia 7 a. m.
AUer decamping in Market Street were
marched nut to 5 h and Button wood lo the
Provost Marshal' barracks; were taken up
about five tines high in a filthy' room,
doors and windows all strongly guarded
Here we obtained something to eat, remain
ing here until about 12 M., we wee hur
riedly marched down to Arch Street Wharl,
and were iut aboard the steamer Rjy Hold.
Here while at anchor, it was whimpered we
were lo t-e taken lo Fort M film. The Cap
a:n ol the squad who guarded n here dis
tributed pwaches and daily papers, which
we enj yed. ' We "scon set sail down the
Delaware and arrived at the Fort at 3 P. M
since which lime we have teen shut in
from ihe outer world. One privilege we
siifl ei-j.-iy, viz: we receive ilie daily papers
aad inspected letter Irom home. Atter thir
teen daof confinement I perceive quite a
change in the physical Mppear&nce of our
men, especially the old men, who all their
hie nme have been Qsed to an active agri
cultural lite.
Alter arriving within the Fort it was found
that there was one man more than there
were rames on the Tod, consequently Silas
McHenry was released and sent home
Alter being shut up in our Bomb Proof I
confe.-s f felt gloomy, lor :ny lite I could not
imagine what I was brought here for, hav
ing all my lile been taught and endeavored
to obey all legally enacted laws ot my conn
ry, reserving me right to freely criticize the
acts of this Administration as well as those
that preceded it, withoni the least thought
of violating the laws ot the land.. But only
