Josephus Campbell,

The Republican Candidate for Commission
er is a farmer, whose Intelligence, good busi-
pess habits and prudence in the management
of his own affairs, marks him as being pecu-
iarly adapted to discharge the dntes of the
Office for which he has been nominated This
office, at all times is au important one, is daily
growing in consequence to the tax payers Of
county. It is of the first Importance that the
incumbent should be man of strict probity,
of good business qualifications, and Of frmness
and integrity. Such q reputation JosEPHUs
CAMPBELL enjoys among bis ueghGors. They
will testify at the ballot box their apprecia-
tio1 of bis character as man and citizen,
and of his qualifications as an officer
His opponent, Of whom We have no desire
to say any uDkind word, was a candidate for
nomination in the Republican Convention -
He was fairly beaten, and disappointed and
sore, now places himself in the hands of men
who opposed his nomination, to break down
the Republican party. Such course is not a
fair and manly one, and in the present instance
is the result of disappointment and chsgriu.
But the people, who like fair play, will testify
their disapproval OF such course, by rebuk
ing it at the ballot box

Beware of Roorbacks !.

We canton our Republican friends to be-
ware of FaIsehoodS to be published on the
eve of election. As Mr.. CLARK's political his
tory is comparatively unknown here, they may
expect to hear faISehoods circulated, calcu'
lated, if believed to make Republicans think
he does not come up to the standard of radi-
cal RepubIicanism. We pronounce all such
stories false we assure our Republican friends
that they may trust their principles in Mr..
CLARK's keeping with entire safety.
All stories, of any character circulated to
shake confidence in Mr. CLARK are FALSE
HOODS, we do not care from what source
they come If time permitted he would ad-
dress the people of Bradford, and define his
position upon all the great questions of the
day-but as there is not time for that, if there
is single Republican who entertains any
doubts, we say to him that Mr.. CLARK is wor-
thy of your support, and your vote and conf
dence will not be misplaced.

The Difference.

At the call Of the Governor for aid to pro,
tect the soil of the Commonwealth from inva-
sion by the rebels, ROBERT F. CLARz put aside
his extensive business and buckled ON his
sword, to respond to the Governors procla-
nation and defend the State. At the head
of q company, composed of his neighbors, he
was found where daty called him. So also
HENRY W. TRACY answered the Governors
call. We will not impugn the patriotism of
the gentleman, nor the motives which led him
with such unusual alacrity to the tented field
But instead OF going as Mr.. CLARK went, 10
earnest, to face the foe, if need be, and meet
whatever offered, he kept aloof from any or
ganizatiou, and placing himself in the hands
of PIoLLEr, devoted bis time to politics
Mr. CLARK was Captain, sharing with his
men whatever there was of danger aud hard
ship; Mr.. TRACY was making very poor
display of cheap patriotism. by hanging around
the camp in the capacity OF q candidate for
Congress.
We approach this subject with reluctance (;
but the Argus, with injudcious friendship, at
tacks those who did not go at the call of the
Governor, and lauds Mr. TRACY for bis prompt.
ness and patriotism. We are content to leave
the matter ia the hands of those who had the
best opportunity for seeing and judgng-and
we ask their decision as to which impressed
them the most favorably, the Candidate or
the Captain

The selection of Mr. CLARK, at this time,
we consider as eminently fortunate and proper
He is gentleman in every way fitted to adorn

State Senator,

The Republican nominee for State Senator
WILLIAM j. TURRELL, Of Susquehanna county,
is already favorably known to the people of
our County. His unanimous nomination, should
of itself, be a sufficient guarantee Of bis fitness
for the place. Mr.. TURRELL is gentleman of
fine abilities, of excellent reputation, and of
business habits, which qualify him admirably
for the position for which be has been selected
Upon the great questions now agta'ug the
country, Mr.. TURRELL entertains opinions in
cousonance with the views OF the Republicans
of Bradford They will be correctly and ably
represented by him in the Senate Of his elec
ton there is no question.

Withdrawal of Mr.. Landon,

We call the attention of our readers to the
letter from Mr. LANDoN addressed to the Re-
pubIicans Of the 18th Congressional district,
announcing his withdrawal as a candidate for
Congress, and the reasons which induced him
to take such a STEP
As much as this will be regretted by many
of the friends of Mr. LAEDoN, and as much as
they may dep!ore the apparent necessity " hich
led to it, yet every candid and unprejudiced
mind will not fail to accord to him the proper
tribute of respect and praise for the self.sac-
rifcing and magnanimous disposition mani
tested. A clique of disappointed and unprin-
cipled political aspirants had seized hold of
the auimosities and prejudices engendered by
heated political canvass, and heightened by
the most Infamous falsehoods, to attempt to
bring about division and disaster to the Re-
publican party. Mr. LANNON'S integrity has
been the subject of the fouest and most SLAM
derous attacks. Notwithstanding which he
received the emphatic endorsement of Brad
ford and Wyoming counties-and the unani-
nous nomination by the Congressional Con-
ference
The opportune time was taken by these plot
ters against the integrity of the Republican
party, when our voters by thousands were
fighting the battles of their country in distant
fields, and thus weakening the Republican vote
st home, by disgraceful coalition with the
leaders of the Democratic party, to attempt
the overthrow of the Republican party and
the downfall of Republican principles. NJ.
fully, and with an unselfshness which does
him infinite credit, is determined that his in
terests shall not hazard the Republican cause.
He is determined that men shall not even have
the paltry excuse that he is candidate, for
| their apostacy. The great sacrifice he so cheer
fully makes will endear him to the hearts of
the true Republicans of this District for all
time to come. 1t proves the integrity and
patriotism of the man-it disproves the foul
ibes of his assailants, and should cover them
with shame aud disgrace.
! While GEORGE LANDoN thus proves his de.
votion to Republican principles, by sacrificing
his present prospects. how is it with HENRY
| W. TRACY, whose action has been based upon
pretended issue with Mr.. LANNON'S Sena
toral course ? Is he ready to consult the in
terests Of the Republican party, by giving up
his alliance with the Democratic leaders, or
are his schemes of personal ambition to be
carried out at any sacrifice to Republican prin
ciples The course of Mr.. TRACY will enable
the country properly to estimate the motives
and honesty of the two men.

ton of having tried to secure them. Hence
it is that I tear my name, but not myself,

upon my character, groundless charges
limited but not proved against my integrl-
ry, all engendered in foul hearts and pro-

cure the election, this coming winter, of

orous prosecution of measures for the
speedy putting down of the rebellion-as
YOU would rebuke treason and disloyalty
as you regard the past and have hopes
for the future-rally to support the only
ticket in the field, which fully comes up
to your expectations and principles. Give

Ticket, upon which my name once appear
ed your hearty and cordial support.
Gentlemen: extend to my friends my
Observation-Disclosures for the zeal they
have displayed in my behalf The conf
dence they have manifested in the integrity
of my conduct, has more than compen-
stated me for the bitterness and virulence
of my traducers. They can still render
me great service by their exertions and
votes in maintaining the integrity of the
Republican party against the schemers
who are endeavoring to strike down our
flag in defeat and disgrace.

Ra- Some of the desperate Boilers are in
sgonies over Mr.. CLARK's position upon pub,
lie questions They declare him to be con.
servative man. Well, the holters just now
make great ado about conservatism. If Mr..
CLARK suits them, why don't they vote for
him 2
We can assure them that Mr.. CLARK is a
conservative man, of the right stamp. He is
in favor of conserving the Union be is in fa'
vor also of conserving the Republican party
and its principles Such conservatism we are
afraid, however, don't Just now suit TRACY,

Don't Trade.

The professed friends of Tracy, are already
showing their hands. They don't care for him
he is only their stock ID trade. They are
ready to barter for vote for the Boltng
Representatives. The energies Of the disaf-
fected leaders and their allies will be turned
towards eecting the Representative ticket -
We caution our friends to beware of their prop
ostions Don't trade a single nominee of the
Republican party. The success of LAPoRTE
and LILLEY is of the utmost Importance as
effecting the election of United States Sena-
tor. Keep that steadily in view, as you would
support the National Administration in vig-
orous prosecution of the war, and as you de,
sire the triumph OF republican principles.
k4y~ Republicans of Bradford do you en-
dorse the Presidents Emancipation Proclama'
tion ? Do you wish to elect men to Congress
and the Legislature who approve Of the Pres
idents policy. The Boiling Conservative fac
ton, dare not and will not say they are with
the President in his policy Their democratic
allies have senced them. Shall PIoLLEr & Co.
silence the voice of the people of this equity,
in response to the Emancipation Proclamation?
Dare TRACY, SMITH, TERRY and McKEAN come
out and speak the sentiments of the true lnen
of the County, and unequiVocally endorse the
Presidents recommendations Are the peo-
pie ready to elect men who dare not sustain
the President for fear of offending their Dem
ocratie allies ? Are they The kind of men en-
titled 10 your suffrages!
