County aware of the great Importance of sue
cess on the second Tuesday in October p
We urge upon our friends thus early to make
preparations for FULL VOTE In the
strong Republican towns of the County, there
is great danger that the votes will not all be
ont. Let arrangements be made to poll every
vote. Your opponents will not lose an avail
able vote. We must be equally active and Wig
liant and certain triumph awaits US, not only
in the County, but in the State.

ACTION ! ACTION!

Once more we, urge upon our Republican
friends in each township, the necessity for i'm
mediate and energetic action. We are fear
full that our friends are being deceived by the
present quiescent state of parties, and will fnd
on the day of election that our voters are not
all out, while every proslavery Democrat will
be on hand. We call upon Republicans to be-
gin the work at once. Our opponents are qui-
etly organizing, and are ready to poll every
vote. They calculate upon reducing our ma
jority in Bradford 1000 by the absence of Re
publican voters. Shall this be? Is there a
Republican who would not feel ashamed to see
WILMor's majority one vote less than that gi-
ven for Fremont He must recollect that
the vote last fall was was the result OF organi-
zation and labor The same energy now will
increase the majority to 5000. Shall those be
the figures ? Let every man set to work to
make the majority 5000 and it will be done.
The plan of operations to be pursued is plain
and easy, if our friends will arouse to the work.
But it must not be delayed. Poll lists and
teams only are required. A little activity on
the part of every voter who feels an interest
will save us from the modification of reduc-
ed majority in Bradford.
Republicans, set about this work immediate
ly. Let there be meeting in every district
and appoint committees to procure teams and
see that the voters are at the polls.

ARE YOU ASSESSED.

Saturday week is the last day the law rcquir-
ing ten day before the election. Look to your
own names, Republicans, and then those of
your neighbors Let not vote be lost by
in-attcntion to the assessments.
1t should be known that to entitle a man
to vote at the coming election, it is necessary
that he shall be resident OF the State one
wear, and of the district or township where he
offers his vote, ten days, and that he has paid
State and County tax which was assessed
at least ten days previous to the day of cleo
ton.
Young men, however, between twenty-one
and twenty two, who are qualified in other re-
poets are entitled to vote without payment of
any tax.
And for the persons who have once been
voters in the State and removed therefrom
and returned, a residence of six months in the
State is sufficient but in all cases where the
payment Of tax is necessary, it must have
been assessed ten days previous to the cleo
ton

renowned authoress, Mrs Caroline Lee Hentz

prove to be one, if not the most popular work
ever published, written by Mrs Caroline Lee
Hentz. As successful writer, Mrs. Hentz,
says the Dollar Newspaper, is, in our opinion,
unequalled in the country She combined pow
er of dclineation and grace of style in a re-
markable degree, and was close observer of
human nature so that all her characters seem
as natural as life, while she always had a moral
aim in her writings, which commends them to
the tireside of every family in the land as
profitable and pleasant reading. We must
commend to her many former admirers this
posthumous edition of her last noyelettes, and
we are sure they will be eagerly inquired for.
1t will be ready for sale on Saturday, the 26th

The TRIUMPH IN MANE-The election
which has just taken place in Maine possesses
peculiar interest, because the party lines were
drawn with unusual strctness, and other oues-
tions than that of slavery extension kept ont
of the contest. The Dred Scott decision of
the Supreme Court and Mr. Buchanan,s off,
cious endorsement of il, have practically been
passed upon by the people of Maine. The
vote this year was not so large as that of last
year by nearly twenty-six thousand, and yet
Mr. Morrill's majority is not much less than
that of Mr.. Hamlin. This result will exert a
powerful influence beyond the borders of Maine.
1t will add thousands to the majority of Mr..
Banks in Massachusetts; the Republicans of
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania will derive

sG- We understand that the Teachers
Drill, held in Orwell during the ten days ter
minating Thursday the 17th, passed off salts
factorily to all concerned. There were $50
teachers in attendance, as we learn by the Su-
perintendent. The citizens of Orwell Hill
had made ample provision for all, notwith-
standing the number was much larger than
was expected. The whole affair was eminent
ly successful, and should, we think, be en-
couraging to the individual standing at the
head of the School Department in the county.
We hope the townships more intimately con-
nected with the Institute to be held in the
other sections of the County, will see to it that
they prove as successful as the first, but we
understand that there was a committee ap-
pointed to prepare an abstract for publication,

inscribe it upon our banner, and call up
on every one to rally beneath its folds.-
They are principles which we are proud
to entertain, and which we know meets
a hearty response from every State Rights
man in his land.
Holding these principles, who can de~
fend the cause of Walker in his inaugu-
raj address? He said to that people they
should submit their Constitution to the
people for ratification, and that if they did
not, Congress ought to reject it, aud that
he would go to Washington and oppose
it. This is intervention, nay, dictatIon,
and an unwarrantable intermeddling with
the rights of the people, that justly meets
condemnation. His opinions, authorita~
lively given, as to the adaptabillty of that
climate for slavery, has only had the ef-
feet of destroying emigration from the
South, and encouraging it from the
North, and are highly Objectionable, as
detrimental to the rights ofthe South and
cannot be defended, nor palliated.
Mr.. Sigur condemns this course OF
Walker, and approves of the principles of
Calhoun's resolutions. He goes into the
contest as the exponent and advocate of
the doctrine Of 'non-lnteryention, and as
the defender Of Southern Rights. Who
will not lend helping hand! Who will

THE FLAG OF THE CoNoUERoR. The
American flag which floated at the mast
head of the brig Enterprise, during the ac-
ton with the British brig Boxer, in 1913,
off Monhegan, can now be seen at the
ieweIry store, No. Exchange street. The
history of the battle, of which this is re-
lie, is this: On the first day Of September,
1913, the United States brig Eenterprise
sailed from Portsmouth,, n. H., on cruise.
On the fifth day, after chasing one vessel
into Portland, she feH in with the British
brig Boxer, off Monhegan, and captured
her after an action of forty-fve minutes.
Early in the action Burrows fell mortaly
wounded. Refusing to be carried below,
and remaining on the deck, cheering on
his men, he pointed TO the flag of his coun-
try, proudly floating to the breeze, and re-
quested that it should never be struck; and
when the sword of the enemy was presen-
ted to the dying conqueror, he cIasped his
hands and exclaimed, 1 die contented;'
theR, and not till then, was he carried be-
low, where he breathed his last in few
hours, euveloped in the same flag that was
we'd so proudly at the masthead. That
old flag, once the winding sheet of that gal
liant man, is preserved. State of Maine

THE CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK IN In
Ola. The English papers are just begin
ming to realize the fact that it is not relig-
ion, but desire to restore the Mahomme-
dan empire that has caused the outbreak
in India. Intelligent Englishmen in In
dia have noticed this feeling among the
Mohammedans for years, and it is said it
was the practice to have daily prayers Of
fered in the mosques for the re-estabIshs
ment of the King of Delhi. The reyolu-
ton is not mutiny in the army alone,
but a revolution of the whole Mohamme-
dan population of India. The govern
ment felt so secure that it only laughed
at these intimations; and it was not till
the army seized on the pretext of the
creased cartridges to mutiny that it began
to realize the extent of the danger. The
rapid spread Of the mutiny shows that it
was work of concert. A German pa
per, in letter from Calcutta, says the re-
volution was to begin in Calcutta and not
Delhi. The plan was to murder all Eu-
ropeans aud Christians, and to restore the
ancient Mohammedan empire. All the
plans were well laid, and the object must
have been attained, if it had not been for
the precipitancy Of one of the native regi-
ments, which commenced the outbreak
too soon.
