WHO Is TO BE CHEATED?

1t is universally conceded by the supporters
of Col. PIoLErr, that if he should happen to
be elected, somebody must be cheated. Yet
each is hoping that it will not be himself
That somebody is to be deceived, however, is
evident. How can it be otherwise. In the
division towns We are told, an unanimous vote
is to be cast for him, because he is in favor of a
division. In the ant-division towns he is
supported because he is opposed to a division.
Both interests claim that he is not pledged to
either. Now, one or the other is to be cheat
ed, which is it to be =? Under such a state of
things who can be certain he is not being out
rageously swindled when a vote is given for
Col. PIoLLEr?
Whenever the question of a division, is to
be decided upon at the polls, it isn more than
right that the people should know for what
they are voting. We have no objection to any
candidate placing himself upon that issue, but
we object to his playing both ways. Let him
We don't believe our friends West, or any
where else, desire to be cheated upon this
question. How can they be certain Of any
man, who is supported because he is supposed
to be in favor of both sides if an interest ?
The question is, who is to be cheated
Honesty, in politics, as in everything else, is
decidedly the best policy. DoubIe-dealing and
trickery may succeed for a time, but the people
are certain eventually to rebuke the man who
attempts to deceive them.

STAND BY THE TICKET!

There is a great reason why the Republicans
of Bradford should stand up square for the
WHOLETICKET. Candidates more worthy
OF your support, never asked your suffrages.-
Don't permit any consideration to allow you to
strike a single name. Remember that it is
necessary that our whole ticket should receive
our united support, not that the offices are of
any consequence, but to show that we are
honestly united on principle, and determined to
vote for the men who represent our principles
inside of our organization.
1t is necessary for the success of our organ
i%zation, and for its great object for which it
has been formed, that every member on the
ticket should be cordially and z~ealously support
cd. Don't allow appeals of any kind to Swerve
you from your duty. If you cannot consist
emily act with the old pro-slavery party organi-
cations, then you should not countenancc a
candidate who asks and takes a nomination at
the hands of that organization.
We have nominated our candidates in good
faith. No better selections could have been
made. They are entitled to our support, not
only from their capacity, but from the fact that
if the Republicans should leave any portion of
their ticket, it would create distrust and lessen
the usefulness of the organization hereafter
All our accounts from the different sections of
the County are most fattering. The R2publi-
can phalanx, as far as we can learn, presents
an united and determined front, and is ready
on the second Tuesday Of October to do battle
for the cause of Freedom.

GOV. SHANNON ON SLAVERY.

In another column will be found an article
from the Erening Post, commenting upon Go
vernon SHANNoN's extraordinary declaration at
Westport, Missouri. 1t now appears as if the
last act in the Kansas fraud was being played.
The Administration, pledged to ArcmsoN and
SRINGFELLOw to lend their influence for the
subjugation of Kansas, and the introduction of
Slavery there, have found a supple tool in the
person of the new Governor. VIII Northern
dough-faces longer have the assurance to pre-,
tend that the Repeal of the Missouri Compro,
mise was not part of an arrangement by which
slavery was to be extended into the soil conse-
Grated to Freedom by our fathers?
The causes which led to Gov. REEDER's re-
moval are now beyond contradiction. lie was
in the way of the ~ruffians who have carried
matters there with such a high hand. But
that obstacle no longer exists, and slavery has
full permission to seize upon Kansas, backed
by laws as bloody and tyrannical as the code
of Draco.

PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF

The Democrat has a great deal to say about
Known othings in connexion with the Repub-
lican ticket. We would advise its editor be-
fore he calls names, to see if they don't suit
some Of his own friends. We have not heard
it intimated that the Democratic Convention
took any pains to ascertain if the candidates
Brought before it were not obnoxious to the
same charge. Before any extraordinary trou-
BILE is manifested about the Republican candi-
dates, We would advise those who have Just
now such an adherence of Known othings to
ascertain from their own candidates if they
have ever =" seen Sam"
The Republican Convention professed to be
an assemblage embracing persons of all the
former political parties, who were willing to
give up their old associations and unite upon
IA common platform in favor of Freedom. For
this purpose it extends a cordial invitation to
persons of every former political cast, asking
only a sincere and earnest support of the mea-
sures for which it was organized.

bzs~ Last week there appeared a paper call
ed " The Dem0crat," proporting to be edited
by Francis Smith and published by NJ. NJ.
Pomeroy-and hailing from Athens. 1t is
most intensely pro-slavcry, and forum. Every
article in it, has dough-face stamped most I'M
mistakenly upon it. We hail its appearance
with much qualification, because the Friends of
freedom can now see what are the true senti-
mentS Of those who seek by the hallowed name
OF Democracy to disguise their subserviencv to
slavery. There is in almost every line, a fling at
those VINO are endeavoging to discharge their
duty, by opposing the usurpations of slavery.
We shall not attempt to notice the misrep-
reservations and low personalities with which
the columns Of TIE Democrat teen. If its con-
ductors think that such means Will influence the
intelligent voters of Bradford, we are content.
We have more elevated duties to perform, and
do not deem it necessary for the success of our
cause to stoop to such deSpicablc measures
The time has long since passed when personal
abuse and blackguardism, has favor with our
people. They arc too intent upon the advoca-
cy of principle to be swayed in their action
by opprobrious epithets or falsehoods.
The editor of the Democrat can have the
whole field to himself. We will let the verdict
of the people, speak their appreciation of his
laborS.

The injustice and iniquity of that repeal should
never be forgiven, nor should the peopleottF

of its renewal. If it cannot be restored inform

COL. PIoLLET'S MoDEsTY!

Those who listened to Col. PIoLLET's char
acteristic remarks, in the Court House, the
evening of his nomination, may perhaps have
been led to the conclusion that he composed
the entire legislature, and originated and pass
ed all the measures brought forward at the
sessions Of 1861. BY q reference to the re-
cord, we find that at the first session, he had
for a colleague, JOHN l.. WEBB, Esq. This
gentleman, if we r~ecollect rightly, was not con-
sidered by the people of Bradford as inferiorin
capacity and usefulness to Mr.. P~IoLLEr, and
we are quite certain, enjoyed an equal amount
of their confidence and regard, as would appear
from the votes cast at the election.
We also find that there were several gentle
men in the Legislature, during Col. ProLEr's
membership, who have always enjoyed the re,
putation Of being able men, and were some
what conspicuous and active members of that
body. Among whom we r~ecollect the names
of KNOX, BuRRELL, FERNoN, KUNKLE, and 9TH
ers, who may have been secondary to the dis.
tinguished member from Bradford.
We propose that Col. PIoLLEr take upon his
shoulders the whole legislation of the State,
and that the services of the other members be
dispensed with. If we can believe the half of
what he processes, any more members than him
self will be entirely useless, because upon him
will fall the labor of originating and passing
all important measures.

a pistol from the belt of a by-stander, and when

FIRE.

On yesterday, abOurl0 O'Clock A. NJ the
stable Of Mr.. James Huston of our town, was
discovered to be on fire. A few minutes be-
fore, the little sons of Mr.. Huston, and ]. @.
Baxter, were in the stable. and it is supposed
that the boys had a match and unfortunately
dropped il there. The stable and contents were
entirely consumed, ex cept the horse and top
buggy Of Mr.. Huston which were badly dam
aged. The top was burned of the buggy and the
harness consumed, and fine horse worth a
hundred dollars, so badly burned that he is
stone blind, with his name, hair and the tops
of his ears burned off. At one time, the de.
vOuring element had we'll nigh taken posses
sion of the dwelling houses Of Messrs Huston
and Cameron, the roof of the latter being in a
blaze at one time. The stable of NJ. Cameron
would necessarily have been swept away by it,
but for the good service of the fire engine in
the hands of the efficient fire company, Hope
No. l. The lads of this company did bravely.
Encouragement from the citizens, to this young
company should be gwen IN the shape of ma
terial ad,' so that they can have all the ne
cessary implements for such crisis.

exertions in procuring water wherewith to ar
rest the deVouring element, they worked like
