HOW IT HAPPENED.

The Argus is in the service of TRACY, Pr
oLLEr & Co. and is trying to undo all it has
accomplished in the last seven years. 1t is
controlled by the enemies of the Republican
Party-not that TRACY particularly shall be
elected, but tha, LANDoN aud the Republican
County Ticket shall be defeated and many
inquire how it happens,
The editor of the Argas says it is because
be could no longer consclcatj0usly support the
Republican organization Of the county" Some
time ago the same editor said he never would
have gone into the Republican increment on
ly that he saw there was money IN IL for him.
But now conscience and not money diSturbS
the quiet of his pillow 1t drives him to pay
ALvoRD omt of same fnndS So, coo, for his ir-
terest in the paper, in order that he might
place it 10 the hands Of his enemies, to distract
and di$organiza and to defeat the County
Ticket which PARSONS himself and his friends
aided to nominate 1t compeS him to furni sh
the De nocratc party with on organ. They
had failed in every attempt to sustain a paper
in the county, but they saw that the Argus
was uncasy-its cOascje&ce ,eqs awokened and
they brought their appliances to bear upon it,
and it came to terms.
They have an organ and an e@itor now who
will cry " No Surrender of principles" but for
conscience sake let US defeat the very men we
nominated, aud overthrow the Republican
Party. The OK knoweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib" aud that is how it hap
pencd.

port of slaveholding rebels and their syrnpa-
tbizers. But it is shameful that the hitherto
friends of the Administration and the War,
should join in this malignant partizan cry.
The Republican party has showered unde-
served honors on some who are now intent on
it's overthrow, and for no cause, save that their
pretensions for higher honors were set aside.
Is the party more corrupt now, and are Its
friends less worthy Of trast, than when it nomi
mated and elected TRACY to the Legislature
Was the Republican organization corrupt when
it nomi mated FREMONT and elected LINCOLN
to the Presidency? 10 Bradford it has given
US Judges W1LMoT and MERcUR and in the
District Grow for Congress. 1t elected to
Office ALLEN Nick aAN, and HENRY w TRACY
-WooDRUFF aud SPALDING, GooDRICH and
ELsBREE, have each been the recipients of its
partalty ana favor. Is the evidence OF its
corruption found in the election of such men
Who is meant by the '' corrupt leaders D! Is
it TRACY and McKEAN or is it GROW, VIII,
MOT and MERCUR This cry Of corruption
and dictation is raised by men who see deep
wrong inflicted on the country, when their as
piratoDs for office are defeated. Let the Re
publican party be defeated in Bradford Coun
ty, and the Democracy of the whole land shall
send up shout of triumph. The citadel of
Freedom will have fallen, and treason both
North and SOyth will he inSpired with new
hope.

GEORGE LANDON.
pened.

There has been mach SAID about the decli
the field another Republican candidate for
Congress. The anxiety of Mr. LANDoN to Sc
cure, if possible, unity CIR the part Of the Re-
pnblicans of Bradford, has given some foun-
datol for this talk He was willing 10 step
aside, if thereby harmony in the support of
another candidate, and of our County Ticket
CY, whose inordinate ambition to fill a place
for which he has no fitness or qualifications,
and the Huuker Democracy who have him in
keeping, forbid the hope Of reconciliation.
The Republican candidate for Congress-
GEORGE LANDoN, will stand where the organi-
zation aud the true men of the country have
placed him. He is the standard bearer of our
principles, and will gaIlautIy battle for their
success. He stands by the National Admin
istration in the effective policy indicated by
the President in his late proclamation. He
has therein struck at the cause aud life Of the
Rebellion and the slave holding oligarcHy
and the Northern Democracy will feel and
stagger under the blow. He proclaimS free,
dom to all slaves within the rebeous States,
unless the arms Of their rebellion are ground
ed by the first of January next. This is q
policy, in the support of which our candidate
gives his whole soul. He is for an earnest
and thorough prosecution of the war, to the
subjugation of the Eebellious States, and the
complete overthrow Of its accursed cause
Slavery.

THE PEOPLES TIoKET."---HoW 1T WAS
NOMINATED.

A few disappointed ofice-seekers got togeth'
er in the Court House, OIL Monday night, and
nomina ted what they call Peoples Ticket" {"
These men had tried their best to control The
Republican Contention, to suit their own In
terests and failed, But having sort of g" seven
years itch" for Office they were determined
not to be satisfied so they called to their aid

" Grand Demonstration Of the People, and
their ticket the 4" Peoples Ticket" They ap-
pointed committee of fifteen g. hlcurabpS,"
to nominate their candidates. This commit
tee discharged their duty admirably. They
presented ticket composed, almost exclusive
ly, of individuals who had failed in being NOM
mated by Republican Conventions. Very true
some thought this was not quite the thing for
a " Peoples TiGtet," but the committee knew
better than that by long shot They had "a
lot of L" political inuabds" on their bands and

FEW PLAIN QUESTIONS FOR SINCERE
REPUBLICANS TO PONDER.

In the present unsettled state of party al
fairs in this county, it is we'll for every sincere
Republican to pause and seriously consider
what is to be the IF ct of his vote in the ap
preaching contest The interests at stake are
too important to be decided without careful
reflection.
The first questions that suggest themselves
to the honest inquirer is Why does every
Democrat in the county so heartily embark In
the same boat with the pretended Republicans
who are trying to break up their own party
Why do the Democrats forego this precious
opportunity to elect member of Congress
and State Senator of their OWN faith But
one answer can be given, and that is this -
1Aeyare aiming 10 prerent tie nomlnat10m OF
DAVID WuNor 10 he United States Senate =!
If they succeed in defeating the regularly
nominated Republican candidates for the Leg
slature, they know that their object is accom-
plished as effectualy as if they elected the
r1ost inscriptions Democrats in the county.
To destroy WILMoT is their beings end and
am" and to effect it they are willing to fore
60 every other political interest, and If they
succeed all rebeldom, North and South, will
raise shout of ecstatic joy. JEFF. DAVIS
himself would consider it almost sufficient to
compensate for his late disasters in Maryland
Republicans Shall this unholy alliance ac,
complish their fell purpose? You can aud
7ua prevent it. You must not let any con
sideration prevent your attending the polls and
giving expression to your scorn of those who
are attempting to betray our State into the
hands of the enemies of Republican principles
by electing another CowAN or Democrat to
the e. S. Senate. We warn you in time. BE
eutreated not to disregard the warning.

COL. ALLEN M'KEAN.

Ore Of fbe strange things that happened in
nomination Of Col. ALLEN McKEAN for Rep-
resentativc The Colonel did expect to be
nominated foF Congress ~hy be " as not, we
are going to tell YOU.
The celebrated Committee Of Fifteen" J"
were packed for tie purpose of nominating
Tracy for CongreSs-TRACYs shadow be-
ing its Chairman. 4 large majority Of TIE
leaders in the movement wtre opposed TO
Tracy, and " Jc gar" they would not stand
it. So they commenced sounding the Commit
tee, and succeeded in procuring the solemn
pledge of majority Of its mbers, that they
would nominate Col. McKzAN for Congress
We are assured this is so by the person who
obtained the pledges But we are told. upon
high poetic authority, that the best laid
schemes Of mice and men" are often frustrated
and so it proved in this case. The Committee
came into the waiting crowd of anxious ex-
pectants OF office and soemnly announced the
nomination of H. w Tracy TIE In, ura-
bles " were astounded aud thrown fairly upon
their hiuncheS The Democrats who surround
ed them on all sides to keep them in the
traces" were boiling over with joy at their
triumph. JOHN swore the whole thing wos
knocked squarey in the head and proposed
TO omit the concern al once Col S, who
thought he could depend upon the pledges Of
men who had left their party and violated
their pledges to everybody else for once for
got to laugh at his own jokes in fact, he
seemed to think there Was 10 joke at all in
the matter, and left the Co .vcniion With
grim visuged disappointment settled indeii-
bly, upon his c0untenance
Republican friends of Col. MckFAN how
! do you relish this sort Of game These fell
lows wanted the votes of Cot. MCkEAN S
friends, but they didn't want the Coionel.-
! They said his record was too bad for Con-
gress, for he might possibly uuite all the coH-
! fcting interests aud be elected but his re,
! cord was not 100 bad for Representative,
where he was very sure Of being de:eated We
are assured that the friends of Col MCkEAN
intend to vote for him TO stay where he is. in
an Office for which he is peculiarly qualified,
and which is worth three times as much as the
Office to which his enemies propose to transfer
him. II they have the "spuuk of louse, y
they will do just that, and nothing else.

FALSE PRETENSE.
Slavery.

The disappointed Office hunters pretend that
they have no objection to any one of the Re
publican candidates bat GEO. LANDoN. Why
then do they oppose any Of the other candi
dates ? Was it necessary to oppose all the
others to defeat LANDoN ? Why could you
not vote against LANDoN, and for all the rest
just as well, if his defeat was your only OBJ
ject And, particularly, why should you op-
pose Mr. LILLEY, who was nominated by ac-
clamation, by the friends of LANDoN, Tracy
and SMITH, with equal cheerfuness? 1t must
be patent to all honest men that your true OBJ
ject is-whatever You may pretend-to break
up the Republican party, and ally yourselves
to the disloyal Breckenridge democracy. But
you will find, in due time, that you cannot
transfer the intelligent aud honest thousands
of the freedomloving Republicans of this
county into any such unholy alliance.
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1862-09-25

The Tracy and PIoLLET organ of this coun-
ty complains that Mr.. LANDoN was nominated
by unfair means but forgets to tell its read
ers that the meeting which nominated Mr.
TRACY declared in favor of Col. MCkEAN, for
Congress, by appointing commttee-a me-
jority of whom were pledged in favor of thr
Colonel for that offce-aDd that he was de
feated before the committee by representation
from Mr.. HoLCoMB that he had a bad recorf
and roouM nat be strong aoiM the people, OF
course bis bad record will not prevent the
TRACY men from supporting him for the legis-
lature.
