feat Gillis. In Elk county. his majority will

ing how large it will be-the lowest estimate

We take the present occasion TO urge our
political friends in Ciearfeld county to turn
out to the election on the I'd Tuesday of Oc-
tobcr. We trust proper efforts will be made TO
have as full vote as possible. All, we be-
lieve, that is this fall needed to secure vieto-
ry over the Lecompton Democracy, is for our
party TO do its duty. The indications every
where are favorable TO US, and We confidently
anticipate the triumphant election of JOHN NJ.
Read as Supreme Judge, and Wm. E. Frazer
as Canal Commissioner. Col. Forncy, in his
speech at Tarrytown says We may expect q
majority of 900 against the Lecompton
candidates. Neither are any doubts enter
tanned concerning the election of our candi-
date for Congress, Chaplin Hall. We consider
his election certain, if our party will only turn
out and vote. We feel desirous that they
should. We want the Americans and Republi-
cans of Clearfield TO have full share in rem
dering the victory complete, land administering
a merited rebuke to the corrupt, eXtrayagant,
slave-led powers at Washington. Turn out
then, one and all. Give one day to electing
men who will prove true to the principles of
freedom and the interests of the laboring
classes of our own country. Vote for Reed
Frazer and Hall, and you will never regret it.

'sWARRES COUNTY.-While the opposition
party in Warren county is divided and split
asunder, the Democracy, without press. are
fully organized and united to man. .''-Ciar-
ion Democrat.
Our brother Alexander is vory fond of jo-
king, but we think he should not indulge this
propensity at the expense of his unfortunate
political brethren. The only s'splitting asun-
der'' we can hear OF in Warren county is that
the Anti-Lecompton Democrats, who consti
tute the bulk of the party, have cut loose from
James Lecompton ellis, and intend voting for
Chaplin Hall, the Peoples candidate for Con-
gress. The reason why the Democracy of
Warren are ''without press" is because the
Ledger, their organ, can't swallow Lecompton,
and is opposing Gillis boldly. These facts il
lustrate how the COlonel's party is 'sunited to
a man." in the northwest county of the Wild
cat district. To use a common mode of cx-
preston, they are ssunited with looseness.''
We suppose, however, the Col speaks in
qualified sense, and means that what few are
left of his party in Warren-the postmasters
and office scekers-are .sunitcd."

1t is amusing to witness the wriggling and
grim contortions of ccuntenance on the part
of the Lecomptonltes over Col. Forney's Tar
rytown Speech. The editor of the Cleartield
Republican is wonderfully exercised about it,
and in commenting upon the disclosures made
in it. says s.fhe haseness of publishing private
conversation is too generally admitted to need
comment" In asserting this, our neighbor
gives sour own Bigler'' a severe rap across
Forney's shoulders; for who does not recol-
lect that Mr.. B., in one of his s.tflts'' with
Douglas, disclosed what transpired at sspri-
vate" conference held at the house of the .slit-
tie giant'' during the late Presidential cam
paign. If it is base in enc individual to give
publicity to ssprIvate conversation" it is no
less base in another, no matter what position
he occupies. In the words of homely saw,
sswhat is sauce for the goose shonld be sauce

This is mere CANNON and moonshine, for, if

of the English bill, they cannot admit Kansas

tie her to Representative in Congress, which
will not be for several years, and there is no
doubt of her making application during the
next eighteen months. The above declaration
is evidently thrown out to induce Anti-Le-
compton Democrats to stick to ellis and the
party with the hope that they will do better in
the. future. But it wont do. These men have
deceived the people once, ard we are much
mistaken If they viii trust them again. ''If

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Most important results, aptly remarks the
Lehigh Register, depend upon the political
complexion of the next House of Representa-
lives. The period of existence win be most
eycntful one the domestic and foreign re-
lations OF the country. 1t is certain that du-
ring that time Kansas Will apply for admission
under regularly adopted free-state constitu-
ton and almost equally certain that such ap-
plication will be refused by the Democratic
party, should it obtain majority in Congress.
The signs OF the times all point TO that result.
The corruption and prodigality OF the Demo-
cratic party. as at present constituted, is a
strong ground of objection. liza House of
Representatives concurring with the Admins
tration is elected, this state of things will go
on unchecked, and perhaps abetted by Con-
gress. We want reform. Our domestic in
dustry is languIshing for want of support, and
the fostering care of the government. Low
duties have induced such heavy importations
that American manufacturers have been oblig-
ed to close their doors, leaving thousands of
Industrious workmcn without the means of
subsistence. Our democratic government has
done nothing for us, and We can expect nothing
We must, therefore go TO work and change the
politics of the House of Representatives.
The democratic party has been faithlcss TO
the interests of the country, and must be
elected from power. It's professions have
been belied, and its very heart eaten out by
those who represent it in the high places of
the nation. Unless we can secure majority
in the House. we can accomplish nothing.
Hence it is important that in districts now
represented by Lecompton democrats, every
effort should be made to replace them in the
next Congress by men known to be opposed
to Lecomptonism and federal corruption in
every shape.
We trust therefore, that the voters of Clear
field county, when they go to the polls, will
cast their ballots for Chaplin Hall, in whose
honesty and integrity they can confidently
rely. ellis misrepresented you before-wiil
you give him the opportunity of doing so a.
gain? We hope not.
