party. The anti-Lecomptou division of the
democracy is exhibiting great force in the
strong holds of the party, in the south-eastern
part of the State. The Slave Power and its
administration at Washington, are greatly
alarmed, least Pennsylvania should desert the
black STANDARD of Slavery-thus taking the
scepter of Power from the hands of the Slave
holding Olgarehy, and placing it where it right
fully belongs, in the hands of the free millions
Pennsylvania will come with crushing and over
whelming effect, and bury the last hope OF per-
petuating for another Presidential term, the
power and ascendency of few hundred thous-
and Slave holders
Republicans of Bradford you can, as we
firmly believe, give signal victory to the Ban
ner of Freedom. We earnestly appeal to you
to rally at the Polls in your full strength. We
must rely for our success upon the patriotism
of the people. The Slave Power holds the vast
public treasure in its keeping, and by waste
full and corrupt use of the monies of the Nation,
seeks to perpetuate its control of the Govern
ment The expenditure OF this Administration
has reached the enormous sum of near One
Hundred Millions of dollars annually. 1t has
increased three and four fold within the last
few years, and since the policy of slavery ex-
tension was Systematically entered upon.
The year in which the Missouri Compromise
was repealed, the expenditures were increased
about nineteen millions over that of any former
year of peace, and last year, when tue Admin
iStration, by corrupt Influences, sought to carry
through Congress the Lecompton Constitution,
the expenditures were again swelled near TWEEN
ty millions above that Of any preceding year.
This enormous and corrupt expenditure is the
natural fruit of the wicked and tyrannical pol
icy of Slavery. The men of the North will
not work in the business Of slave propaganda
ism, and to place this Government permanently
in the hands of the Slave Oligarchy, without
pay Members Of Congress must be seduced
by high appointments The press and leaders
out of Congress- must be paid largely by Office
and government contracts, or they will not en-
bark in the work of debauching and democrat
izng the public opinion of the North. The
Administration has vast army of paid retain
ers that move at the word to do its bidding
here in this remote county, it has an hundred
paid men, in the post masters, most of whom
have been appointed because Of their subServ-
iency and willingness to work in the cause Of
Slavery On the eve of every election, men
are sent out from Washington over the whole
country with money, TO influence and control
the result. We have had among us for some
ten days or more, notorious, profigate poIiti
cal trickSter, fresh from Washington, and with
orders to rally the faithful and to SOW, if pos
He has heretofore been mainly busy in efforts
10 get some nominal Republican in the field
against Judge Wilmot. In this he has signally
failed. His last and final effort has been tc
bring out a Buchanan man under pretended
" Old Line Wing" auspices.
Permit US in conclusion, to urge upon yor
activity in organizing your township, and bring
ing out your voters to the polls Will yor
not spend a day or two iu this work Do moi
let any dissatisfaction with our County Ticket
if such exists in your neighborhood, keep {
voter from the polls. We would advise the
support of the whole ticket, believing the can
didateS true and faithful men to our principles
but if any Republican thinks he cannot, oil
ought not to support particular candidate
still he should be at the polls to vote the State
Ticket-to swell the majority for Mr. Grow
and to rebuke, by his vote for Judge Wilmot
the shameful conspiracy set on foot last winter
to deprive the people of their constitutional
right to elect Judge.
