BRADFORD COUNTY,

The gallant Democracy OF Bradford met in
County Convention at Towanda, on the 4th
instant, and nominated that true and incorrupt-
bie Democrat, Col. Victor Z. PlolIet, for AS
seinbly FL. 5. Salisbury for County Treasurer
Harry Elliott, for County Commissioner, and
LIB Reeves, for Auditor. Col. John F. Means
then submitted series of resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted. We copy the fol-
lowing
ResoLUed, That We do not deem it necessary
to reiterate, upon each anniversary OF our nonl-
mating Convention, the well-dehned and long
established creed of the Democratic party, that
IT is the party OF progress, and the one under
which our country has risen to her present
strength and prosperity and although its poll
cy may for time be misunderstood, yet it has
always been found right in the end, aud calcu-
lated TO promote the welfare and rights OF the
majority.
Resoired, That the attempt to prescribe men
because OF their foreign birth, or peculiar reli-
gious views, is abhorrent to our feelings, and
meets with our unqualified condemnation.
ResoiUed, That the so-calIrd Republican par
ty is consolidation of all The isns and factions
tnat disgrace American politics. heteroge-
neous mass, wanting capacity 10 direct, OR prln-
eiples TO govern, and without any object TO al
tam except the defeat OF the Democratic party
and its candidates, and that We recognize IN the
embryo "Fusion" party OF this country the
same faction, alike destitute principles, blind
ly subservient to policy, aud having for lis on
ly end and aim, the personal ACCOMPLISHMENT of
its leaders.
ResoLUed, That we hail the nomination Of
the Hon. Arnold Plumer for Canal Commission
er as good omen for the future. His practi-
cal business habits eminenty qualify hlm for
the post and his irreproachaDle character, NOR
ally aud politically, entitle him to the respect
and confidence OF honest men OF all parties.
The Democracy OF the whole State will re-
Joice in the unwavering frmaess and unfaulter-
ing devotion oil their friends in Bradford. The
hydra of Abotionism has raised its bead there,
and some whom the party has honored have
bowed down to false gods, but the masses have
remained true, and the clarion voices of Means,
and Piollet, and Tozor, and the Chabbucks, and
theiOvertons now come to Us reiterating 10 lis
iulFsess every cherished principle of our faith.

TRIUMPH OF THE JUDICIARY GVER AB-
CLIFTON FANATIClSM.

In our second edition o; Saturday last, we
published the opinions of the Supreme Court,
delivered by Justice Black for the majority of
the bench, Justice Knox dissenting, in the ha-
beas corpus case OF PaSsmore Williamson. con-
fined in Moyamensing under commitment Of
the District Court Of the United States, in refl-
sing TO obey It's process. The process which he
IS imprisoned fol disobeying, was a habeas cor
pus commanding bin 10 produce the bodies of
Certain colored persons claimed as slaves under
the law OF Virginia. The Supreme Court of the
State, IN the present decision, refused habeas
corpus 10 Passniore Williamson TO take him
from the custody of the United States. The
grounds OF the Court for such refusal are un-
commonly lucid and satisfactory y--at once sound
IN argument and convincing 10 reasoning, and
npist be universally approved wherever the
opinions are deliberately read aud dispassion-
ately reviewed. The attempt of the abolition
lists 10 bring the State and General Government
into collision, has most sgnaly failed, through
the ability, hrmness and incorruptibiIty of the
Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania. Had they
ialtered a moment in the strict line OF their du-
ty as conservators o: the Constitution and the
laws, anarchy and bloody violence would
inevitably have been the immediate conse-
quence. The result in this matter shows the
vital Importance of having men of the right
stamina to preside over our Courts Of law,
whether State or Federai--men possessed of
clear hrads and sloet hearts to discriminate be-

The "Republioan" State Convention

This Convention met at Pttsburg, on the
9th inst, and after the transaction of some
preliminary business, on motion OF Rev. Sam
uel Aaron, OF this place, PassmoFe Williamson,
who is now confined in Moyamenslng Prison,
for contempt OF the United States District
court, ln refusing to make true return to a
writ of babeas corpus requiring him TO restore
The servants taken away bv force from Hon. j.
H. Wheeler, Mlnste? 10 Aicuarauga, for Canal
Commissioner. Upon member OF the Con-
venton suggesting the difficulty that Mr. Will
hanson would labor under TO perform the duties
OF the Office, on account Of his confinement, it is
said MIR. Aaron allowed, that was nothing at ALL
he had a remedy that was as prompt as it was
ethcacious, and that was, after Mr. William
sons election, for the Republicans 10 orepair
TO Moyamenslng prison, with no other arms
than those which God has given them, and
tear II down stone by stone. Another member
OF the convention agreed with his friend Mr..
Aaron, and was in favor of releasing their
nominee by tearing down the State prison stone
by stone, not leaving one block upon another.
We apprehend that Mr.. Aaron and his friend
will have considerable difficulty in getting their
JOB OF tearing down Moyamonsing completed.
The convention adjourned without fixing a time
when this work is TO be- commenced.
