term, the power and ascendency of few hun
dred thousand SHAREHOLDERS
Republicans of Bradford! you canr as we
firmly believe give signal victory to the Ban
ner of Freedom. We earnestly appeal to you
80 rally at the Polls in your full strength
We must rely for our success upon the patri-
otsrn of the people. The Slave Power holds
the vast public treasure in its keeping, and by
a wasteful and corrupt use of the monies Of
the Nation, seeks to perpetuate is control of
the Government. The expenditure of this
Administration has reached the enormous sum
Of near One Hundred Millions of dollars an
nually. 1t has increased three aad four fold
within the last few years, and since the policy
of slavery extension was Systematically enter
ed upon.
The year in which the Missouri Compromise
was repealed, the expenditures were increased
about nineteen millions over that of any form
er years of peace, and the year, when the Ad-
ministration, by corrupt influences, sought to
carry through Congress the Lecompton Con
stitution, the expenditures were again swelled
near twenty millions above that of any pre-
ceding year This enormous and corrupt ex.
penditure is the natural fruit of the wicked
and tyrancal policy of Slavery. The men of
the North will not work in the business of
slave propagandism, and to place this Govern
ment permanently in the hands of the Slave
Olgarchy, without pay Members of Con.
gress must be seduced by high appointments.
The press ard leaders out of Congress- must
be paid largely by Office and government con
tracts, or they will not embark in the work of
debauching and demoralizing the public Opn-
ION of the North The Administration has a
vast army of paid retainerS that move at the
word to do its bidding-here in this remote
county, it has hundred paid men, in the post
masters, most of whom have been appointed
because of their subservency aud willingness
to work in the cause of Slavery.
Our opponents in this County, feeble though
they be, have already organized for the cam
pagu of 1860. They have placed in nomina-
ton County Ticket, and will poll for it every
vote they can reach by persuasion or other
wise Their example should not be lost upon
the active men of the Republican Party. They
should devote the remaining time to effort to
increase the Republican majority. BY so
doing, they render the work more easy next
fall

lNsTALLATIoNs.-It may prove agreeable to
the religious readers of the Reporter to learn that two
pastoral relations have recently been constituted
important churches in the Susquehanna Presbytery.
On Tuesday evening, Sept. 81 Rev. j. 6. CARNocHAy,
Pastor Of the congregation of Troy Rev j. FOSTER
Moderator of Presbytery presided proposed the cons
tutonal questions and made the installing prayer Rev
G. C. CoRss, preached the sermon. Rev I. s. DEwNG
charged the pastor Rev. A. BARR charged the people.
On the next evening, Sept. 2S, Rev. E. KENNEDY
installed Pastor of the Congregation of Elkand Os
Ceola in Tioga county Pa. Rev. j. FOSTER ofciaed
before, and also preached the Rev. A. BARR
charged the PASTOR and Rev T. S. DEwNG charged the
people.
These two churches, forty miles apart present inviting
fields of labor and have been blessed during the residence
of their ministers among them.
1t is matter of small interest that in week two
churches have thus entered into the pastoral relation
1t is to be hoped that in these days Of frequent changes
the relation of minister and people may prove and
more permanent. PRESENTER.

Are the Voters Ready?

But few days now intervene before the
October election Are the voters of this
County aware os the great Importance of snc-
cess on the second Tuesday in October? We
urge upon our friends thus early to make pre-
parations for a FULL VOTE. In the strong
Republican towns of the County, there is great
danger that The votes will not all be out. Let
arrangements be made to poll every VOTE
Your opponents will not lose an avalble vote.
We must be equally active and Tigilant and
a certain triumph awaits US, not only in the
County, but in the State.

Ba~ The letter which we published last week
from Mr.. KINNEY, was well-timed and appro
pirate 1t shows the falsity and hypocrisy of
those who are endeavoring to make political
capital out Of the question of Canal Damages
Mr.. JACKSON. the member from Sullivan coun.
ty, has been very properly laudedfor his course,
by those who are making themselves most Of
fcious, while the same consistent gentlemen
attempt to dscredit Messrs SMEAD and KIN
NEY. The honesty of this is shown by the un-
deniable fact that Messrs. JACKSON, KINNEY
and SMEAD acted throughout in concert, ex-
cepting in an immaterial point where Mr..
SMEAD differed from the other two-and as it
proved, correctly. Now, this praise of Mr..
JACKSON, is undeserved and dishonest, or else
Messrs. SMEAD and KINNEY are entitled to the
same need of credit Which horn of the di-
lemma will the noisy ones take?

One Vote.

Remember one vote has decided mighty
events in the political history of the world
One vote has decided the fate of Kings, made
Governors, Congressmen and Senators. Then
fail not every freeman, to go the polls and
cast a vote for the true Republican candidates
whose names are found at our head Do not
falter or stay at home because you may think
there is, or will be enough without you. If
all were to make such excuses for themselves,
of course we should fail electing any one, or
leave the matter in the hands of those, who
might for unworthy motives, attend and CON

THE BATTLE IS HALFGAINED

Arouse then, ye apathetic Republicans =
If you would see the cause of Freedom tri-
umph in 1860, poll every vote you can for the
State Ticket now 1t matters not that the
candidates of the Republican party are GER
tain to be elected, Pennsylvania should speak
in such decided tones that her position in the
column of Free States cannot be questioned.
One vote in every election district, will make
a material difference in our majority See that
that one vote is polled, and with it the votes
of all your neighbors who need urging to turn
out TO election

Bagn The organ of the Black Democracy is
intimating pretty strongly that Senator ScHELL
of the Bedford district, recently visited this
County for the purpose of receiving his pay
for voting "to transfer the public works to the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and also voting
against our people having fair law for asses
sing damages last winter" As Senator ScHELL
is Democrat of the blackest kind we have
no disposition nor authority for denying the
charge On the contrary knowing the party
of the Senator we should rather be inclined
to believe the charge. The sale to the Sun
bury and Erie was made by Democratic Leg
Slature and Democratic Governor, and we
have always observed, if anybody was to be
bought, the Democrats were the easiest and
cheapest to purchase Let the responsibility
Of the sale, and the stigma of corruption rest
where it justly belongs, and where the Buchan-
an organ places it, upon the leaders of the
Black Democracy-Senator SCHELL, CT i'd o0lai
genus.

The Senatorial Nomination.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately we have
poor success in pleasing our friends of the
Black Democracy. They have way of be-
ing dissatisfied with our candidates, which is
distressing. We would willingly arrange our
nominations to please them but they won't be
pleased. They object to Mr.. LANDoN, as
Senator, very earnestly. They are opposed to
making candidates of preachers forgetting
that they have already elected Rev JERE
SHINDEL to the Senate, and should be willing
to allow US an equal privilege. If Democratic
preachers are not too good to be elected Sena
tors, will they admit that Republican preachers
are We cannot allow them to have mo.
nopoly Of the picty Of the Senate, and we
will back Mr.. LANDON at any time against
SHINDEL for religious zeal, talent or practical
ability.
The truth is, our expectant opponents have
been sadly disappointed. They had made
themselves believe that the Republicans of
this District were about to throw away the
Senator. They find, instead of that that the
Conference could not afford to hazard even the
success Of the party, but have selected can
didate better calculated than any other to heal
all divisions, alay all feeling, and consolidate
the Republican vote of the District. It's
natural they should not be pleased with the
arrangement, but we suppose they will have
to submit.

The Postal APPROPRIATION BILL.-In his
Augusta speech, in speaking of the Postal Ap-
preparation bill, Senator Toombs of Georgia
said " stood with its fate in my hand, and
L stamped it under my feet" This is volun-
tary assumption of all responsibility for the de-
feat of that bill. We have pointed out the
fact that it was SO, on several occasions but
the democratic press has vomited forth column
after column to show that the act was not at
trlbutable to Senator ToombS but was the act
OF the Republicans Of the House. What will
they say now, when the Senator himself shoul-
ders the responsibility and Grams the falsehood
down their throats +?
