Nav we say word? Of course we may 1t is
to be regretted that the real Republicans-the gen.
une Union of Bradford county are still di-
vided in their local poGtcs-to be regretted that
any of them feel inclined from sense of duty, or
from personal considerations, to oppose any por-
ton of the ticket recently put in nomination If
the Convention did not reflect the choice of the
people, the fault lies away back at the primary
meetings-there is the fountain of the wrong if
there be one and there is the legitimate place to
correct it. The ticket put in nomination will, be-
yond all peradventure, be elected by a large ma
ority and we can see in the warfare made upon
the candidate for State Senator, II manifest and
permanent, though not intentional, injury to the
Union cause and the gallant Union party of the
Keystone State Have not those, who were dis
satisfied with Mr.. Landons course on a certain
measure while in the Senate three years ago, suf-
ficiently expressed their condemnation of the act
already? can they not see that blows aimed at him
wound him less than they do the great cause which
he and they have deeply at heart They certainly
cannot have the slightest expectation of defeating
him. Why then continue the warfare Is not
the success of the great Union cause in that state
at this its most critical time, of vastly more i'm
portance than warfare upon individual for a
vote cast some years ago upon question now OBJ
solete? No man, ever for a moment doubted Geo.
Landons fidelity to his country and her dearest
and most sacred principles of human liberty; and
since, he is irrevocably before the people, and
mistakably true on the questions of the day, we
think it unwise, to say the least to make feeble
fight upon him to the permanent injury of the
cause which he represents.

WHY DR.. SHEPPARD WAS NOMINATED

Many have supposed he was the first
choice of mass meeting of some sort or
other, but we are informed by a Reliable
gentleman" they are mistaken He saws
mo soldier would accept the nomination
Tracy had been congressman and was
above little state offices unless perhaps that
OF Governor. Elhanan had some of the re-
qulsltes but was too good fellow to be
offered up--but the DIR. would "go it" and
besides he had had experience exhuming
mummies in Egypt and would therefore be
the best man to rehabilitate the defunct
Peoples Party" So he was put to the
work. He probably finds the task as "dus-
ty" as exploring among the "dry bones" of
Pharaoh's kindred If he succeeds he de-
serves a medal from the Antiquarian Soci-
etY.=Trou Tines

President Judge,

The Copperheads, after a long and fruit
less search after a candidate, have failed
to find any legal gentleman desirous of the
empty honor of being defeated candidate
for Judge, and the Conference endorses the
the nomination of Judge SrREErER. Sensi-
bic gentlemen !! But they can't even do
that with a good grace but base their ac-
tion upon the fact that he has been life
long Democrat Consistent, in those who
don't believe in bringing politics into the
Judiciary. The Republicans nominated
Judge SrREETER because he is an able and
upright Judge, and moreover sound upon
all the great questions of the day.

JACOB NJ. CAMPBELL was printed John

they should carefully cut ont and destroy

Mr.. Tracy's Consistency.

Hon. HENRY w. TRACY, is travelling with
Elder SHEPARD, making speeches, in which
he accuses everybody who don't support
the Elder, of inconsistency, and bitterly
opposing Mr. Landon's election to the Sen
ate The burden of the Hon. gentleman's
assaults upon Mr. LANDoN is Of course, the
Tonnage Tax Mr. TRACY dare not deny,
that in 1862, one gear after Mr.. Landon had
coted for the Repeal Of the Tonnage Iar he
was very anxious that LANDoN should be a
candidate for reelection. At that time Mr.
Tracy was very anxious to secure a NOM
ination for Congress, and feared that Lam
DON had aspirations for the same position,
or that his friends might bring him forward.
Mr.. TRACY thought then that it was due to
LANDoN to re-nominate him, and that he
(LANDON) ought to be satisfied with re-
election
MEssRs LANDoN and TRACY became oppos-
ing candidates for the Congressional nomi-
nation, when the latter became suddenly
and deeply impressed with enormous wick
edness of Mr.. LANNON'S vote, notwithstand-
ing he had been anxious for his reelection
to the Senate, and it has since been his po-
litical hobby, his stock in trade. The pub
lie can appreciate his consistency. When
Mr.. LANDoN was in the way of his Congress

him by a reelection to the Senate, his vote
on the Tonnage Tax was trivial offence, ca
silly over looked, but when Mr. LANDoN be-
came acompetitor, the offence became enor-

THE CONsPIRATORS.

The attempt now being made to defeat
District, can hardly be dignifed by the
title of disorganization. 1t is simply and
purely scheme concocted by the Copper
head leaders to distract and divide the
Union men of the County The originators
of the plot are men, who in times past have
been in pretended affiliation with the Re
publicans but who long since have thrown
off their fimsy disguise and become open
supporters of the Democratic nominees -
These men while they professed to be in
side Of the Republican organization, were
constantly endeavoring to destroy that or
ganization, and when they found that their
efforts were fruitless, and that they were
understood and appreciated by the people
they came out openly in opposition to the
principles and candidates of the Union par
ty. The pretended Republicans who now
are most zealously opposing Mr.. LANDoN
supported MCCLELLAN last fall, or at least
voted for LINCOLN under protest
The nomination of Mr. LANDoN inspired
these conspirators with new hopes. Under
the direction and advice of the Copperhead
leaders they have renewed their efforts to
damage the Republican organization. They
found in Elder SHEPARD a weak and willing
tool The Elder has been for the past twenty
years or more ambitious for office. He has
failed in his aspirations, and like most dis
appointed aspirants, is now ready for any
movement which may enable him to get an
| office. 1t was an easy task for the schem-
ing men, who would break down the Re
publican organization to persuade him to
become the tool Of the Copperheads The
latter have no hope Of eecting him in fact
we doubt if they care for his election. Their
hopes lay in a division of the Republican
party, and in doing such damage as shall
enure to their benefit hereafter If they
shall succeed in aleniating voters from the
Republican party their desire is accom-
plished, and Elder SHEPARD's defeat and his
political disgrace. will not be a source of
regret to them.
1t remains for the Republicans of the
Republicans of the County to put the stamp
of rcprobation upon their plot, and the act
I've schemers in it. So long as they will per-
nit the Copperheads to distract and divide
them. so long they may expect these at
tempts at disorganization. The present is
an excellent opportunity to teach the trail
tors to Republican principles that the Union
party of the County is not at the mercy of
the Copperhead leaders, and not to be be-
trayed by their pretended friends. Our can
didate for Senator is worthy Represent
atiye Of the Union sentiment of the people
of this County. Upon all the great issues
of the day. he represents the feelings of our
people. In the Senate he made for himself
reputation for ability and eloquence,
second to no man in the State. If the
people desire to be well represented, GEORGE
LANDoN is worthy of their suffrages. 1t is
their duty, as it is their privilege, to signi-
fy at the polls, their appreciation of his
ability, and their determination to sustain
and uphold the bold and eloquent exponent
of their principles.

HON GEORGE TANnON

The nomination of Mr.. Landon for the State
Senate in the Bradford Senatorial District, is one
which it was emine2tly fit for the Republicans to
make Mr. Landon served term of three years
before, and we can bear testimony to his pure and
exalted patriotism, unsullied integrity and noble
advocacy of the of right and progress on all
occasions. A most able and accomplished orator,
who never during his three years in the Senate,
undertook to speak on any of the great questions
which agitated the Councils of the State Nation
at the commencement of the rebellion, that he did
not receive the undivided attention of all parties.
And many Copperhead Senator had cause to re-
gret any attempted encounter in debate with the
Bradford Senator. We rejoice at his return to the
Senate because of his great ability, and sterling
qualities a and citizen. He will be great
addition to tle brains, well speaking element
of the Senate, for three years to come. The loss
of Penny, Mcclure, Bound, Benson, Finney, and
other speakers has been scarcely made up since
they retired. Mr.. Landon's return will go far to
make up this loss on the Republican side of the
Sena.e

The State Ticket.

We admonish our friends throughout the
County, not to neglect the State Ticket on
Tuesday next. Whilst the offices to be fill
ed are not of the greatest magnitude, vet
the success Of the Union Ticket is of the
highest Importance. The defeat of the
gallant soldiers, HARTRANFT and CAMPBELL,
will be the triumph of Copperheadism, and
will be construed to mean rebuke of the
Union cause, and will inspirit the hopes of
Rebeldom. We ask our friends to see that
every Union voter has ballot for our State
Ticket. Bradford is expected to give a
rousing majority for the Union Candidates.
BY little exertion and care it can be done.
UNION MEN OF BRADFORD Is it better to
defeat the regular nominee of the marty,
Senator, by voting for the mongrel candi-
date, Elder Shepard, and thereby play di-
rectly into the hands of the copperheads
and disorganizers, the very men you have
been fighting for the last four years, or to
stand by the ticket which you are in duty
bound to support ? Can you point to a
Copperhead or disorganizer who will vote
for Mr.. LANDoN? Let those Union men
who are halting between two opinions, F."
consider whittier they are drifting"

NEW JERSEY.

The Abolitionsts are making unpre-

Jersey at the next election. The election
takes place on the first Tuesday in Novem-
Der. The resources of the entire Abolition
party of the country are evidently con
centrated upon tnst State, and they hope
to gain considerably on the question of
ratifying the Constitutional Amendment
abolishing slavery. The Democratic ma
iority of the New Jersey Legislature re-
iected that amendment last winter and
though it is really of no practical import
auce, now that all the Southern States

conventions-which is the true way to do
1.-THE Abolitionists still make it an is
sue, and hope, on that question, and
with the expenditure of large sums OF
money, to carry the State. On the main
issue of their party-negro suffrage---the
Abolitionists of New Jersey are silent.
With all the efforts put forth by the ne
gro party there, we do not believe the
true and inhexible Democracy of New
Jersey can be defeated, During the last
four years of war and civil commotion,
they have remained true and steadfast in
their attachment to Democratic principles.
They cannot be bought or driven from
them now.

ut is fair to presume ,hst the vote Of the

We have told the Journal before that
it was about time to stop this foolishness
in regard to the soldiers vote. II Parrott
and the balance Of the abolition ticket have
nothing else to depend upon to elect them,
they will never come in. and Parrott
will never have a chance to vote for

that. We doubt, however, whether Par

from the operation. His particular friends
