THE NOMINATIONS.

The length of the proceedings of the Con
vention, and the want of time, precludes
the possibility of extended comment upon
the action of the Convention and the merits
Of the nominees. The unanimity and good
feeling which characterized its delibera-
tions, and the worth Of the candidates, are
a guarantee Of united and vigorous action
on the part of the Union party of the Coun-
ty, and the sure precursor of victory at
the polls.
We shall next week present in detail the
qualifications of our candidates and their
claims upon the suffrage of the voters.

j. NEWELL, of Orwell, was presented, and
on motion he was nominated by acclama-
ton.
On motion the Chairman was auth DriZcd
to appoint the usual County Committee.
The Chairman stated that paper pur-
porting to be a protest against the nomina-
ton of the Convention for Senator had been
presented.
On motion, Resolved, That the protest be
laid upon the table, without being read.
Col EOverton, jr., then presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimous
ly adopted.
The Republicans of Bradford County in Annual
Convention assembled, do resolve,
1st That the suppression of the great rebellion
by force of arms, and not by miserable compro
mise Of principle is Il cause OF great JOY to al
lovers of the Union, and calls for praise to Oul
gallant soldiers and sailors, and gratitude to til,
eiver OF all good.
ID. The principle that . life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness the great object to be sc
cured by civil government has been reaffirmcd il
such manner that future generations willfeel anC
acknowledge the magnitude of the great questions
involved in the contest.
Sd. While we mourn over the untmely and IIIur
derous death Of Abram Lincoln, we rejoice that
the patriotism and frmnoss of Andrew johnson
give assurance that the administration Of this gov
ernment is in safe hands.
4th. The action OF the recent Republican State
Convention meets with our cordial approval ant
we will give our earnest support to It's nominees.
9TH. The past four years have fully vindicated
the principles and policy of the Republican Party
in the hour of country perils those privilege
sustained it. We firmly believe that it IS by a.
adherence to those principles alone, that our glo
rious institutions can be preserved and pcrpet
uatCd.

tainty of success. The Northern democrats
must acquesce in this, else why are those
OF the South so confident of final triumph
through their aid There is one thing very
certain of the democrats of the Northern
States, and that is that they will strike
hands with friend and foe, and agree to any
terms, that will secure to them a new lease
of power. No one who has scrutinized
will for a moment doubt this and, in view
of the maneuvering to accomplish this, just
limited at the Union men of the nation must
see the danger which surrounds the canntry
Projects and schemes, plots and Counter
plots, Of various shapes, and purposes, to
suit all localities, land emergencies, are now
all designed to defeat the republican candi-
date for the Presidency at the election three
years hence. All the intervening elections
of county and State officers, and congress
men, are to be managed to this end, and it
/ behOoves us to be on the alert. "The
price Of liberty is eternal vigilance" Let
us not then, through carelessness, or any
cause under our control, allow the common
enemy to get the advantage
Our opponents at the polls are just as
positively the enemies Of the country as
the open rebels we 50 lately conquered; and
they are to be united in future yet more
closely than in the past, because they have
found that the division and ruin they would
/ invoke can not be otherwise brought about
We must not forget the dreadful cost al
which we have Just hindered this That
the blood of our murdered martrys appeal
to us to maintain the vantage gained III
the recent contest, for liberty and Union
| IT, as a party we fail, we cease to have the
power to perpetuate the new era of free
! dom we have inaugurated and we owe il
to this cause and ourselves, to strengthen
and uphold it by continuation Of political
power Seeing therefore, that the base
purpose of dividing the Union, and re-en
shaving the blacks is still to be persisted
in, not this time by open assault upon the
government, but by the yet more danger
GUS wiles of insiduous foes, in the ga:b of
Union men, there is all intense excitement
to prompt us to action in our political du
ties We trust this timely warning will
not be lost on the republicans of this con
! crraC CionaI district at least

SToP THE LIE,-A report has been circu
lated, conceived and published by some ma
licious or very much mistaken person, tc
the effect that Sergeant Humiston, the man
who was found lying dead on the battle
field of Gettysburg, having photograph
of his two children clenched in his dead
hand, had not really lost his life, but that
he was taken prisoner, and had returned.
The poem of James G Clark, on the Incl
dent of his deing found on the battlefield is
well known. The report that Humiston is
still living is fabrication. He died on the
field of battle as reported, and his widow
and children need for their support the
sums obtained from the sale of photographs
of the two children, whose likeness the
dead soldier held in his hand.

SPEECH OF MAJOR GENERAL HARTRANFT.

The people Of Norristown, last week ser
enadcd the Hero of Fort Steadman now the
Union candidate for Auditor General. After
a congratulatory shecch by B. +. Hancock,
Gen Hartranft responded to the call Of the
people as follows
My Fellow CITIZENS Il thank you most
sincerely for this compliment tonight It
assures me that you endorse my past pub
lie life and that | hold your confidence and
support in the public contest soon to be
inaugurated | also thank you, Mr. Han
cock, for the kind mention OF my military
history. OF this | will not speak nor de-
tain you but a moment.
As a soldier | feel it my duty to give my
humble aid to the great party which has
during the rebellion so nobly supported the
Government in the struggle for its eXis-
tcnce and national honor. 1t put forth It's
strong arm and assisted the Government in
! filling our depleted ranks. If this had not
been done we would still be digging in
front Of Petersburg, or perhaps been com
! PEELED to accept a dishonorablc peace. To
do this in a righteous cause would have
been a disgrace to every soldier. If a sol
dier is true to himself he must lie true to
the Union party. His pension list, his
bounty for his early enlistment, his right Ol
suffrage, his protection through life all ap-
peal to him
need not say that every effort should
be made now to protect and encourage la
Dor You well understand that it is the
wealth OF a nation. And, while this so, al
so from patriotic considerations see that
| the returned soldier is Lonorably employed
1t is the highest favor thatcan be bestowed
upon him OF his country. He will then
soon forget his camp life and become an III.
dustrious and prosperous citizen.
The military power of the rebellion is
crushed, may say forever, and the nation
/ looms up amidst the ruins more grand and
! powerful than it ever seemed before. But
remember the spirit Of rebellion is still alive
and must be more carefully guarded. Let
it be shon of all political power, for in that
| is concealed all its strength and danger
/ | hope soon to see the immense armies OF
the North and South engaged in civil and
peaceful pursuits, all adding their energy
to restore our happy, glorious country to
| its former wealth and prosperity. Allow
me again to return my thanks for your com
! pliment.

THE CONDITION OF THE FREEDMEN OF
MISSISSIPPI

An interesting report has been received
at the Frcedmcns Bureau from Colonel
Samuel Thomas. Assistant Commissioner Of
Mississippi, dated Nicksburg, Aug. -, CON
tanning an account of affairs III that State.
He says railroads are being rebuilt roads
and bridges. repaired, telegraph lines cxtcn-
dcd to the cities and interior towns of the
State, and in short time communication
viii be easy and rapid. The colonies OF
freedmen working the land assigned them
at Davis Bend, Camp IawIey, near Yicks-
burg, De Soto Point, opposite, and at
Washington, near Natchcz, are all doing
well their crops are maturing fast as
harvest time approaches the number Of IA
tions issued are reduced, and they are com
PEELED to rely on their own resources. At
least ten thousand bales Of cotton will bc
raised by these people, who are raising
crops on their own account. The number
OF idle people around them is constantly de-
clining, as labor is abundant, and good pri-
ces are offered for all kinds Of work The
Treasury Department has turned over 10
the Bureau all lands, houses and tcncmcnts
held by them. This included houses in
Nicksburg and Matches, which were being
rented from month to month, and plantations
leased January /, 1868. Claimants are
making great eXcrtions to have their prop
erty returned when ii is leased but not us
ed for the benefit of refugees or freedmen.
They argue that the Presidents proclama-
tion secures to them right Of property, and
implies that all the property held by Gov
crnment should be restored. This property
is a source Of considerable revenue to the
Bureau The General commanding depart
ment has returned a large amount of prop
crty to citizens, which has been il possess
ion of Government. The feeling against
taking property Of most violent rebels is
strong. The amount Of rations issued to
whites is about the same as issued to freed
med Not less than 5000 people are cut
ting wood for steamers on the Mississippi
River, and more people are engaged in this
business than ever, but they support them
selves. The total number of freedmen in
the State is estimated at 34G, 600, of whom
only 5000 are receiving assistance from
Government.

sfa- IT is confidently asserted by New
York journals that JEFF DAVIS will soon be
tried for treason before a United States
Circuit Court, probably at Richmond, Nor
folk, or Fortress Monroe. That he is guilty
''of levying war against the United States
is so clear fact that we presume he will
not even deny it. His defence will proba-
bly, be based upon the assumption that he
was the head of de tacto Government, and
that the Southern States had right to
secede, etc. His legal advertisers will
doubtless make the best of what is appar-
emily hopeless case, and will present
every imaginable point which can afford a
chance of his escape through the glorious
uncertainties of the law" The trial will
have an important influence not only in
determining his fate but in eliciting such
decisions as will clear our law against
treason of all obscurities.
