'Convention" meets this afternoon for the purpose of noinina ling a ticket. What their' action will be we do not know, neither do we care,it is enough for Republicans to know that the main movers ,in it are , old-line Whiskey Democrats whose chief end and aim is to break up the Republican organization, open the whiskei.jugs apd make Potter • county the pandemonium it was in days past. Republicans, wham spoken to in regard to this pretended "union" move ment, andiurged,td give it your support, do you evert thiitk- of what the cse quences orp .sur support might be ? Th pi) movement, very awkwardly plastered over, with the word "union" is nothing more ' than an attempt to secure. the election of license Associate Judges; Judges who Will grant licenses to every respectable(?) rum-shop in county. And you, Repub licans, will have to assume the responsi bility, for you are in the majority whey: the hundreds of poor families in'the coun ty aro starving for, the.necessaties of life,, while their husbands and brothers spend money, the money that shduld be used to keep body and soul together, at these tT specta6le and moderate ,taverns I Don't be caught by any such clap-trap asser tions. Did you ever hear of a respectable hell or'a moderate devil ?. Beware ! Da - Capt. A. F. JONES of Coudersport is about starting another CoMpany for the War; so far he has met with a suc cess as unexpected a- it is gratifying, and at the present rate will be able to - start in a very short time. And now .young men of Potter what answer will you make to this call, the last that wilt likely be made upon your self-sacrificing patriotism. We ,do not fear for your. deci sion.- We have perfeet,eanfid.ence in your bravery and in your earnestly expressed wieli that the works and machinations of traitors may come to nought ; and we now desire another practical exhibition of your patriotism. Potter has ddne nobly ! Our mountain winds have blown upon us the free-country loving spirit of the land of Tell. We have not sworn allegiance to our country from a selfish feeling : with love of freedom and love of brother there _is no war, one , begets the other. NiTyYare now passing through the fire of pUrifica tion ; from, its bitter teachings • we •may learn lessons that will brighten the` pages of our coming history, or, heeding -not its warnings we may soon fail and vanish from among the nations of the earth • , as other nations have who trusted more in their power than in their honor and love of justice and right. Then arm for the fight ! let the present war he truly, one to purge from us our nation's curses and our nation's sins ; fight the battle bravely ; it is Freedom's cause I if we are . clefettted, if the government is overthrown, slavery and bloodshed will be our portion ; we Will be another Mexico, with no law but_ "the . law of might, and no government but that of military despots. Arouse you men of Potter! join the ranks of Captain Bones, a man every way worthy of 'your confidence, who will do something more than "wear kid gloves and give the com mands ," he will be one of you, a faithful officer and true friend Kier We print under our editorial head the names of the nominees of the Legis lative Conference, the proceedings of which we publish elsei*here. Mr. Elliot is an architect and builder, and stands high in his profession. He took the prize offered for plans and.spec ifications, of the People's College,.of the State' of New York, diad afterwards took the job of building that splendid edifice. Re is represented by those wio know him best, as being a Man of spotless in tegrity', a temperance man both in princi ple and practice, and an uncompromising and earnest Republican. .Mr. Strang is 'better known in - this county; bairing, practised s' for some years at the Bar, and the fact that he is the unanimous choice of both parties, not only in this county but in his own, showS how popular he is with the people. Both he and. Mr: Elliot established for themselves the reputation of'being excellent legisla tors.. Qf course they will both be elected. - Whht is to lie done With - northern sym. pathisers with - treason? YouMay,know them by the piteous whinings*ith which , they deprecate war—by their,°groanings about "coercion" and "subjugtition," and by their extl cniS. concern about Mr..liin coin's violations of the Constitution, in his bffolts to preserve it, although : they have nothing to say about ba:vies effort to destroy it altogether. They are all of them sneaking hypocrites, and the surest way to judge them is to watch their faces upon the receipt of news. If it is disas trous to the rebels, their visages at, once put on a lengthened, solemn look. If the Union army has met with a disaster•—it one of our faithful officers has, been asses sivated by a rebel, their eyes brighten at once These men, were they in llaryland or Missouri, would smuggle powder and shot to their southern brethren—woußl engage to the extent of their• courage in driving out friends of the Union and confiscating their property or destroying it: B.lt they are where their treasonable.] syrnpathiel can do no harm and where we can allow them to remain and enjoy the protection of the Government which they would gladly see destroyed. All that we would lay up in store against them] is simply a truthful record of the fact that in the hour ofeits greatest peril . they stood with the enemies of the Government and gave their sympathies to the conspirators. We would have this ,known for at least one generation, and to this end hope they may be inspired with siiricient courage to place themselves where they belong. They can do it "F afely. • • • ' inf.415 . A7 It sparalien;l • 4 VeaLltioll4.
