OUR CANDIDATES.

Hon. Glenni ". Scofeld of Warren, is the
nominee for Congress, in this district. No
better selection for candidate could have
been made than that of Judge Sco6eld.-
He Is . man Of middle age, of excellent abili-
ties, Of extensive experience in public affairs.
and one whose patriotism may safely be de-
pended upon. The Breckinridge organs seem
to hate him and try to say hard things about
him, which is always good sign in favor of a
candidate. But recently Mr.. Scofeld was a
member Of tho State Senate,-then, by ap-
pointment of Gov. Curtin, Judge of the Ju-
dicial district which includes Jefferson and
Clarion counties. He has also filed other
public stations, and has filled all of them with
ability.
We have already spoken of Mr.. Hall, our
candidate for State Senate. He is SO we'll
and personally known, that we need not speak
further OF him now.
Our candidates for the Legislature are both
excellent men in every respect. Mr.. Warren
Cowles OF M'Kean county, is a lawyer by pro-
fession, highly esteemed wherever he is known
as an upright and honest man. Mr.. Shannon
is q man OF middle age, residing in Jefferson
county. He was formerly Sheriff of that coun-
ty, but is now engaged, as We understand, in
the numbering business. He is represented as
man OF high character, good sense, and bu-
siness capacity.
Our candidates, one and all, deserve hearty
support from the friends Of the Union. Let
every voter in the county carefully consider
his duty to himself, his posterity, and to his
country. As freemen. it is your great priv
ilege to vote for the men of your choice but
as this is not the time for triling, be sure
that you choose wisely. Vote for the men
who do not occupy an equivocal position.
Such men are presented to your consideration
above. They are ScorIELD, HALL, SHANNON
and CowLEs. True and loyal men, who will
stand by the Union in this hour of its greatest
trial. We need just such men to sustain the
Government in its efforts to put down this
rebellion. Then, we say to you, loyal Demo-
Gratis, as we'll as to our Republican friends,
work and vote for the men who heartily stand
BY the country. We believe you prize the o..
nion too highly to trust its management into
the hands OF those who are continually harping
about n,ismanagement and extravaganza, and
who seem to find more fault with the Govern
ment than they do with the traitors. Do your
duty then, aud the triumphant election of the
true friends of the country will follow.

The PREsIDENT's PRocLAMATIoN.-On our
first page will be found the Presidents Eman-
cipation Proclamation. It is an important
document, and is worth a careful perusal. II
as highly spoken of by the press, generally.
The New York Herald and Philadelphia Press,
besides many other papers, have spoken of it
in commendation and praise.
We also learn by private letter, that in the
East the Proclamations are received with great
favor by the people generally, who regard
them as master stroke at the rebellion. The
army especially, it is said, greets them with
unmistakable signs of approval. When the
intelligence was announced in Franklin's Di-
vision, the entire command received them
with ssthree cheers and tiger" We suppose
this will give the anxious Breckinridgers in
this region, who were prophecying a revolt in
the army, ga pain under the apron" In fact,
some of them have shown unmistakable signs
of ssdistress for several days past, which is
only attributable to the favorable reception of
the Presidents proclamations by the people.

". A.. WALLACE, ESQ.

We learn that the Breckinridge politicians
are making some effort to get Republican votes
tor Mr.. Wallace, the Democratic candidate, on
tho plea that he 10 Clearfield county man.
But this effort will amount to nothing. Mr..
Wallace has right to expect the support of
every Breckinridge- Vallandigham voter in the
county, for he is just of their way OF think ing
and just as bitter a partisan any of them
can be. They can depend on their candidate
sticking to their party, let the party 60 which
way II may. It Was but last year that, in ad-
dressing his fellow citizens, his malice was so
stirred up that he could not fnd words in the
vocabulary of the English language to express
his contempt for certain persons of the op-
posing party styled by him as sscontemptibls
whelps." It was not very long before that
that Judge Leonard, man Of his own party
was an independent candidate for the Legisla-
ture, and supported by fair portion of the
Democratic party because the interests of
Clearneld county at that time seemed to re-
quire the election of Ciearield man. What
does Mr.. Wallace do theni Why no, with q
few others, comes out with 40 address to all
the faithful to stick to the ticket and vote a.
gainst Leonard. Now, for this ssstick to the
ticket" man to ask anybody outside of the
Breckinridge Democracy to vote for him, it
seems to Us, would require some brass-and
the Republicans who would yield to the i'm
pudent request must be easily persuaded.
