REGULARLY NOMINAL ED

One of the chief arguments made use of to
bolster up PIoLI.Er is that he is the regular
nominated Candidate of the regular Democrat
ic Convention. Now this concerns Democrats
only, and we ask them to look back at the
past, and see what has been PIoLLEr's action
during the last eight years, that he should set
up such a claim ? Most of our readers may
not have had an opportunity to know what his
political conduct has been. We know that he
has not been regarded as supporting a County
ticket for the last eight years. Much of the
time he has been avowedly opposing some
portion of the ticket, and often the whole of
it-and never failing during that time to be
secretly stabbing at some one upon it.
This man has been deriding our County
organization-has been endeavoring in every
possible way to overthrow and destroy it-yet
now f~orsooth, he has the audacity to set up
the plea that the form of Il nomination gives
a claim to the support of those he has so
often attempted to bctray. The Democracy of
Bradford will not touch him. They remember
how often they have triumphed against his ma
chinations-they have not forgotten his treach-
erous and deceitful career, and they will utter
their detestation of him and his political charac-
ter, as becomes intelligent Freemen and true
Democrats !!

Bss- One Of the most active and jealous sup
porterS of PIoIIET, is our gwondam Regular
Contributor Mr.. G. l.. WARD. This gentle
man, who has already acquired considerable
n%otoriety amongst our people, by unfortunate
for the public comeXion with certain broken
banks, is now a sort of bottlc-holder for PIoL-
LET, speechifying at his meetings, and cndea-
voring to persuade our yeomanry to give him
their votes. He is largely interested in a Specu-
l%ation, by which it is expected, when a fayora-
BILE time arrives, with the aid of the Govern
ment, to absorb some millions of somebody's
money. Consequently he is now particularly
anxious to effect anything which may rebound
to the advantage of his dear and intimate
friend, OH Buck. The honest. independent,
frugal farmers of Bradford, who gain their
bread by the sweat of their brow, have no
sympathy with him and his speculative schemes,
and can neither be cajoled nor deceived into
supporting a man because he supposes it will
advance his purposes. How's GARAY stock :?

Bag What do our ~free-soil friends suppose
would be the comments of the PcnnsyirdniaR
and the Washington Union, if PIoLLEr should
succeed in being elected to the Legislature ?
Would they acknowledge that division of the
County or any other local or minor question
had anything to do with the result
On the contrary, the exultation of these
mercenary prints would be unbounded. 1t
would be proclaimed that the eloquent
National Democrat PIoLLEr had stormed the
fortress Of Freedom in Northern Pennsylvania,
and ovcrthrown its defenders" 1t would be
hailed as the conversion of our people to the
ranks of the Slavery propagandists. 1t would
awaken the l"ivcliest feelings of satisfaction
amongst selfish and ambitious and proaigate
dougl-faces everywhere. The Kitchen Cabinet
would hold an extraordinary session, and my
friend FoRNEY" and his eNcellency, the Presi-
dent of the United States, would take an extra
glass of punch to celebrate the glorious event.

ONE CENT REWARD

We will give one cent reward to ascertain
whether the Hunker ticket has any one else
upon it besides PloLLEr, We have anindistinct
recollection that candidates were named for
the other Offices, but have not heard of them
since the nomination. Perhaps they were only
put on to bolster up PIoLLEr, and with no idea
of ~electing them !? Who knows? At any
rate, they are lost sight of, in the struggle to
elect PIoLLET. Their election would not adj
vance Mr.. BUcHASAN's prospect, and so they
are to be traded off, and sold, to aid in achiev-
ing a pro-slavery triumph. The exertions of
the Douglasites are conferred on the only candi-
date they care for. The balance of this
ticket will be slaughtered without mercy
See if the figures don't show it, after election.

LOOK AT HOME !
SHESHEQUIN.

We insist upon it that those who are are
making insinuations about Know-Nothings in
connexion with the Republican candidates,
shall first attend to their own nominees
If they were serious in their hostility
to the X. Ms. why didn't they take some
measures to keep those who had seen the
elephant out of the Democratic Convention.
In all the Counties where Anti Know Nothing
ism is the % great issue" the candidates for nomi-
nations were previously required to take an
oath that they were not, nor had at any time
been know-Nothings, but here no questions
were asked. The nominees were not even in
%tcrrogated upon the subject.
Gentlemen !. either satisfy the public in
regard to your own candidates, or else forever
hold your peace. Let the question be plainly
put" are you now, or have you ever been,
"a member of the organization commonly
" known as Know-Nothings? ?" We venture
to say that all of your candidates will not
answer in the negative.

Platte City is an imperium IN imperio-a

had perfect right TO hold the meeting, and
no one had a right to interrupt them. But
