REPRESENTATIVES,.

The selection Of Representatives to the State
Legislature is of unusual Importance this fall.
In all probability we shall have majority of
friends of Freedom in both branches of the
Legislature, upon whom will dcvolve the cleo
ton Of L. S. Senator in place of Hon. r.
BRoDHEAD. The Republican candidates are
j. b. G. BABCOCk, of Windham, and Gull
LEN F. NICHOLS, of Burlington. The for
mer is genteman of good Judgment, of trust
worthy reputation and and an undertaking
friend of true principles. With Mr.. NICHOLS
we have the pleasure of an intimate personal
acquaintance. A young man, he possesses
abilities which will secure him high standing
with his fellow members, while his personal
and political reputation are above the suspicion
of influence from improper or mercenary mo-
tvcs. These gentlemen will represent our
County with credit to themselves and with
satisfaction to their constituents

COUNTY AUDITOR.

In its emoluments and honors the Office of
County Auditor is of trifing Importance. But
to the taxpayers of the County it is of conse-
quence. The accounts of the public officers
are all examined by the Auditor who also
scrutinize the County disbursements. They
are the only check upon prohigacy and extrav-
agance. 1t is necessary that the person select
ed as Auditor, should be good business man,
well informed about County matters, and will
ing to undergo the labor necessary to make
such dry and tedious investigation. FRAN
CHS HOMET of Wyalusing, has been nomi-
mated by the Republican party. A better
choice could not have been made 1t gives us
great pleasure to bear the testimony of per-
sonal knowledge of his high capacities to fill
with great credit an5 Office within the gift of
the people of this County.

The entire control of the County disbursements

gid and searching administration of the duties
of the Office will prevent many abuses BY
nominating DUMMER LILLEY, of Colum-
bia, the Republican party have secured can
didate who combines in an eminent degree, the
qualifications of sound judgment, incorruptible
honesty, and the firmncss to reject all loose and
doubtful measures. His election will be a for
tunate event for the County.

bSs~ 1t has long been the fashion to call this
Congressional district the "benighted district"
the infected district" the fanatical district"
Our neighbors in the lower part of the State
seeing the consistency with which the voters of
this district have uniformly maintained and de-
clared their principles, have entertained and
expressed belief that it was owing to the
state of utter and deplorable ignorance which
prevails i'll this Sequestered region. Consequent
ly, in the desperation of the BUCHANAN leaders
they have turned their attention to the enlight-
ment of the profound ignorance of this part of
the Commonwealth. We should conclude that
they only deem it necessary to send some of
their fancy orators into this district, to break
the cloud of ignorance which has settled upon
us, and let in the light of pure unadulterated
pro-slavcry democracy upon our sturdy farmers.
They act and talk as if the people here, had
never read or heard but one side of the oues-
tlon now agtating the country-that it was
only necessary to make a few speeches to bring
them into the support of BUCHANAN and the
Cincinnati platform
We have at present within the borders of
this County, Messrs. BUCKALEw, n B. Brown,
and Hon. JOHN DAVIS We believe they are
all courteous and honorable gentlemen, and as
able as any to present in fair shape the bad
cause they represent. We bid them a cordial
welcome to our County and bespeak for them
fair hearing at the hands of our voters. They
will find our people anxious for information up
on the great question now agitating both north
and south-literally seeking after truth-and
an amount of intelligence and ability amongst
the masses, such as they are unaccustomed to
at home

Buchaniers, did not Kentucky and North Caro-
lima go Republican ? They were always whig
states. Now, they are with the mis-called
Democracy. What does it prove Simply
this, Mr.. BUCKALEw's word to the contrary
Notwithstanding that there is only one practi-
cal, important question in iSSue-viz the eX-
tension or non-eXtcnsiOn of slavery into free
territories. The North is opposed to, and the
South is in favor Of, the extension, and vote
accordingly The entire South will cast its
electoral vote for BUCHANAN, because he is in
their interest and confidence. 1t shows ndu-
bitably that the South knows there is q ques-
tion to be determined, directly affecting their
interests, or else why this unanimity on their
part 1t is all moonshine for Mr.. BrCKALEw
to stand up as he did in the Court House. on
Tuesday evening last, before an enlightened
audience, and say that the slavery question was
not of any practical Importance in the coming
election. If he were to say so in Virginia, or
in any Southern State, he would be called a
Black Republican, and not worthy of southern
confidence. They say it is the question, and
the only question to be determined n the COM
ing presidential contcSt-and they say further,
that the BUCHANAN man who will argue bv the
hour that that is not the question, is miSrcpre-
scnting the issue, and not entitled to confidence
or belief No Mr.. BucKALEw, out of the
mouth of the majority of your party shall you
be judged. That majority belongs in the
South, and is in favor of the extension of sla-
very, and you and other Northern Democrats,
in your active cooperation with that majority,
aid directly, by your votes, to extend that in
stitution. The majority of the BUCHANAN men
in the nation is in favor of making Kansas q
slave State and the minority, which is in the
North, by voting for Buchanan, vote directly
to accomplish that object and this fact, as
well as the issues before the country. are not
to be changed, lodged, misrepresented, or de-

their truthfulness, and especially when the pub

issue by the country. The verdict will be rem

THE VICTORY IN MAINE!

The overwhelming tide of popular opinion
which is now sweeping the North, overturnlng
the feeble barriers raised by the politicians to
prevent the expression of free principles COM
mencing with Iowa, has gathered redoubled
force in Vermont and swept with irresistible
force through Maine. The latter has always
been regarded as a doubtful state. In the
great contest of 1910, it gave but a small ma
jority for Gen HARRISON. In 1852 the majo-
rity for Gen. PIERCE was decided. In 1854
the anti Nebraska majority was large but
the next year the coalition carried the State
by majorities in every Congressional District
This year the union of the proslavery elements
was complete. The Administration looked
with entire confidence to the defeat of HAMILN,
to the election of Senate and House, oppos
ed to him, and to gain of two or three mem
bers of Congress, while our friends though san
gune of HANLIN's success, were in great doubt
as to the other results
The overthrow has been one of the most
decided and remarkable ever known in the po-
ritical history of the country HANILS will
have majority over all his competitors of at
least 90 0000-the Congressional delegation is
entirely Republican, Senate nearly or
quite unanimous, and the House four-ffths Re
publican. Taken as an indication of public
feeling this election is of immense Importance.
1t forcshadows the result in every Northern
State. The supporters of Mr.. BUCHANAN, in
quire with alarm and astonishment, what hope
they have of success in any free state, if Iowa
and Maine declare so emphaticaly against them.
1t has carried dismay into the pro-slavcry camp.
1t should inspire the friends of Freedom to re-
newed exertions The Slavery propagandists
in their desperation will make a terrible effort
to avert the coming doom. Pennsylvania has
now become more certainly than ever, the bat
tle-ground. They have no hope of carrying
another Free State. Let the friends of Free
dom arouse, and work with unceasing diligence.
The victory is within our reach, if We but put
forth the proper exertions. Success brings peace
and quiet to the country, and settles the ques-
tion in favor of Freedom. Defeat but pro-
longs and renders more arduous the struggle,

KANSAS DIFFICULTIEs-The is one thing
connected with Kansas and her difficulties that
others, probably, as well as ourselves, have

over the country On the first approach 0.

ers Of like kidney, who are more expert in
holding horses than in the use of the rifle
frantically rush into Missouri, crying that the
abolitonistS are numbering all who oppose Their
will and offer them any resistance. Others,
like AtchSon and Stringfellow, send forth H.
cen6iary appeals, calculated to stir up bad
blood, and lead the unthoughted into acts OF
violence These men also tell Us that 1t Is all
a family quarrel-that government has nolh-
ing to do with it, and no right to interfere.
From these facts the people can readily see
who it is that is keeping up the excitement anu
urging their neighborS to become voIators oi
the laws of the land. The Pierce adminIstFa-
ton, by its acts, first brought about the dill
