of certain savage tribes who reyiled their enemies before
the fight began with the fouest words of abuse but
away as the first fell among them. In my
view, the ideas OF Democracy too grand and pure to
be defended by personalities anxious TO have the
honor of the Dialogue authorship removed from my poor
shoulders because find it pretty generally ascrbed to
me throughout the county, and very unpleasant to he

STAND BY THE TICKET.

There is a great reason why the Republicans
of Badford should stand up square for the
WHOLE TICKET. Candidates more worthy
of your support, never asked your suffrageS.-
Don't permit any consideration to allow you
to strike single name Remember that it is
necessary that our whole ticket should receive
our united support, not that the Offices are of
any consequence, but to show that we are
honestly united on principle, and determined 10
vote for the men who represent our principles
inside of our organization
1t is necessary for the success of our organi-
zation, and for the great object for which it has
been formed, that every member on the ticket
should be cordially and zeaouSly supported
Don't allow appeals of any kind to swerve you
from your duty. We have nominated our can,
didates in good faith No better selections
could have been made They are entitled to
our support, not only from their capacity, but
from the fact that if the Republicans should
leave any portion Of their ticket, it would
create distrust and lessen the usefulness of the
organization hereafter. All our accounts from
the different sections of the County are most
fattering The Republican phalanx, as far as
we can learn, presents united and determin-
ed front, and is ready on the second Tuesday
of October to do battle for the cause of Free

THE COMING ELECTION.

Up to this time, hardly note of prepara-
tion has been heard, in this county, for the
election which is to take place in less than two
weeks. Apathy seems to have seized hold of
both political parties 1t is high time that our
friends should begin to arouse themselves for
the battle, and commence that labor which
alone will ensure a respectable majority for the
State Ticket. The Importance of the present
contest can hardly be over estimated. Indeed
every State election is important, so long as
there are great questions of National import
wealth like Pennsylvania, has powerful in6u-
ence in upholding or rebuking the course of a
National Administration. In the present in
instance, we have President, from Pennsylva-
MIA, who is recreant to all the professions and
principles, the PRONUNCIATION of which, enabled
him to secure the vote of his own State-whO
has outraged thepubc feeling of the North
and who yet looks to Pennsylvania for an en-
dorsement of his acts by the election of State
Ticket standing upon platform affirming his
doctrines. The defeat of that Ticket will be "a
signal rebuke of the present National Execu-
tive, coming from his own State, and is pecu-
liarly dreaded by him. No means will be left
undone to avert it.
1t is the common expectation amongst the
well Informed of all parties, that the Peoples
State Ticket will be elected by a large majori-
ty. So it will be if our friends do their duty.
Who knows the amount of labor and money
the Administration will devote to Pennsylva-
MIA from this time until election? Suppose,
for instance, Bradford should give the State
Ticket only 1000 or 5000 majority, when it
should be 5000, at least, who can safely say
that the State is to rebuke Lecomptonism ?
The minions Of Slavery propagandism are never
apathetic. They are always ready to bring to
the polls every vote they can control If our
friends desire to rebuke the policy of the Ma
tional Adminstraton-if they would have
Pennsylvania speak out upon that subect-it
is here in Bradford that the work must be done.
Time enough yet remains, if our friends set
about it in earnest. The Indifferent should be
aroused to the necessity for exerton, and par
ticularly should arrangements be made for bring
ing out voters to the polls.
The few days which now remain should be
improved. If they are allowed to slip by, we
may be mortified by the small majority we shall
contribute towards producing thatresult which
we know is ardently desired by every Repubi-
can, and which is now within our reach, if we
will only put forth the proper exertion.

mended MLane's Vermifuge, prepared by

told him it was not worth while, as my chill
dren appeared proof against them all He
said TO take bottle, and offered il it done no
good to refund the money. To satisfy him
done so, and the effect was so much better
than expected thatI got another bottle, and
the result was most astonishing. Three Of
my children dischargeda great number Of the
largest worms ever saw. To young man
my Mail Carrier, who was weak, puny and
poor as snake, for month or 50, gave two
doses, which brought from him at least pint
Of what is called stomach worms! Strange
as this may appear, yet it is as true as preach

did, with ten Thousand ''BoTs" gnawing at his
