The scribblers for the .Abolition organ have charged us in nearly every number of their pa per for the last two years, with having estab lished Know Nothing councils, &c., &.c. .'7s long as this was intended merely to injure our self, we did not think it worth while to re fute it. But since it is used for the purpose of injuring others, we deem it our duty to say that it is untrue in every particular. Whatev er political sins we may have been guilty ol prior to 1856, this one, thank heaven, we have never committed. As to the truth, or falsity, of this denial, we are willing to let any Know Nothing in Somerset county, orjanv else, testify.—We are loth to intrude our own history upon the public, but the fellows who scribble for the .Abolition organ have draggled it in the mud of their falsehoods until we feel like cleaning it up a little. Eut this shall suf fice, ohce for all.—We became of age in the summer ol 185+, but having left Pennsylvania to reside in another State, and returning after a year's residence, we did not acquire the right to vote until 1856,"when we cast our ballot lOT the Democratic Slate Ticket and our first vote tor President, for James Buchanan. Since then, we have talked, written, published, and voted nothing but Democracy, and unless we get as crazy as the editors of the v/boiition or gan, we intend to do so until we "shuffle ofl this mortal coil." "WATER ON BOTH SHOULDERS.*' We have been informed that Mr. John Tay lor, the Abolition-Know-Nothing candidate for Associate Judge, is in the habit of telling Cath olics and Foreigners privately that he has re nounced Know Nothingism. This is done, of course, to secure their votes. But Mr. Tavlor does not say anything about having given up his Know Nothingism when he is electioneer ing with persons who are, or once were, Know- Nothings. It was but the other day that he said to a gentleman residing in Bedford town ship, "How dare you who were a sworn Know jVot/iing, vote against mel" Such is Mr. Taylor's method of electioneering. To use a somewhat trite expression, he "carries water on both shoulders!" The Associate Judge Question. The Tlol of the K[ion -\uihing Abolitionist* exposed. The chief desire of the mongrel Opposition | in this county, at the coming election, is to 3e ! cure 'o themselves the important office of Asso- I ciate Judge. They care for nothing else, hope lor nothing else. It is their pillar of cloud bv day and their pillar of fire by night. To effect the election of their nominee lor that ofiice, they are determined to try every scheme, they think may avail them, no matter how unlair or dishonorable, fhey are even ready to trade oif some of their other candidates, to obtain votes for Ma. JOHN TAYLOR. The reason of their anxiety to secure this office, is obvious. I hey hope to be able, by the assistance of the Opposition counties r of Franklin and Somerset, to elect the Judge for this district in ISC 1, and then should JOHN TAYLOR be on the bench, a majority of the Judges would be of their party and they would have a rnerry time removing Democratic officials, refusing license to Demo cratic tavern-keepers, and discriminating a gainst and persecuting their political opponents generally. "So much for Buckingham! off with his head !" would be their salutation to every Democrat that holds office, or that would ask an appointment, from Court. There is no exaggeration in this picture. It is true to the life. MR. TAYLOR has taken an oath which he considers as binding upon him to this hour (for he lias never publicly renounced it) by which ihe is bound in the most solemn manner, not only to vote against all FOREIGNERS ami CATH OLICS, but if elected to office, to refuse to ap point them to any station of profit or trust, or it he finds them in sucn station, to remove them from it. What, therefore, but persecution of the most unrelenting sort, could our foreign born and Catholic friends expect, if the Oppo sition should succeed in obtaining a majority of the Judge? ? An J, if no quarter is to be given to Foreign-born and Catholic citizens, by their proscriptive enemies, can it be hoped that the Democrats as a body, who have aiwavs defen ed the rights of those citizens, will fare any better ? Is not the danger apparent ? Is it not imminent ? The plot of the enemy is deeply laid. The first step was to nominate a man who could control as many Democratic votes as possible. John Taylor was chosen, for the reason that it was known that he has a considerable number of Democratic relatives who have always been firm and reliable Democrats, and who, it was supposed by the Opposition wire-workers, could be forced into the support of their kinsman. Ihe Opposition leaders boast and brag of this trick, and are already congratulating themselves upon the prospect of its success. It remains to be seen whether this game of trying to force Democrats to vote against their own ticket, wiil be taiiK-ly submitted to by those for whom if to ml— ' -• • u SJI out Upptllif nii plan, is to try to injure CAPT. STATES private ly, by sneaking insinuations against his charac ter and by hunting up individuals with whom he has had personal dilliculties, in order to stir up their prejudices against him. This is the role played by a number of the Abolition-Know- Nothing scavengers about this town, and some ol them seern to pride themselves in the dirty work allotted their.. The leaders of the Oppo sition dare not assail CAPT. STATES in a public manner. They dare not publish any thing a gainst him in their news-papers. Thev can not make a single objection to him, either with regard to his fitness, or to his claims, for the office. Hence they resort to this covert, unfair and unmanly process. We have thus hastily sketched the object of the hybrid Opposition in nominating MR. Jons TAYLOR, for Judge, the manner in which they are trying to elect him, and some of the probable consequences should he be elected. Let every Democrat take the alarm and fly to his post! This effort of our opponents to carry the Associate Judge, is in tended as a blow to the best interests of the De mocracy of Bedford county. Arouse, therefore, fellow Democrats, and let us overwhelm the conspirators that are plotting against us ! To Work, Democrats! The contest which is to decide whether Pennsylvania is to he counted on the side of the negro as against the white man, is fast ap proaching. The black legions of Negro-ism are marshalling their forces "thick as leaves in Vallornbrosa." Their serried ranks are crowd ing forward to the battle. The Democracy must rally to meet them. The Democracy can and must overthrow them. Therreveille is sounded. Awake ! Arise ! Prepare for the onset ! Let not the lesson taught us last fall be for gotten. Then our voters staid at home and the enemy marched forward to an easy victory. Let us go to work and have every Democrat at his post. Our enemies aie vigilant and ac tive. Let us profit by their example. Bed ford county can give 500 Democratic majority, if we but have a full turn-out. The eyes of the Democracy every where are turned to val iant old Bedford. We are expected to do our share in redeeming the State from the enemy. Go to work, then, fellow Democrats, and show what can be done by the Democracy of Bedford county when they make an effort. Bring out the vote ! Kally your neighbors to the polls! See that no man is defrauded of his vote ! lake your wagons and let those who cannot walk, ride with you to the election. Rally ' Rail}' Rally ! and let your watch-word be, "Pennsylvania for the Democracy." R.IOUI:APIM M„ We have been honored by Mr. Fr. JJan with a historical sketch of our political ceer. V\ e appreciate this distinguished favor too gh ly to suffer it to pass without paying on re spects to the author. We owe Mr. .Man some return for his kindness, and we knc no better way to make that return than by wting ; ins political oiography. We propose, thei'ore, to begin with the DEDICATION. To the "Middletown Bank," in Hit hope that its worthy Presi dent will be satisfied with the services rendered by the jsubject of this work, this biography is respectfully dedicated. PREFACE. Few men have ever Jived who rivallei the subject ot this sketch in that facile expeiness with which he has been able to change hi po litical opinions. This admit able quality i the character of Mr. Jordan, singular as it ma ap pear, has made him some enemies in his own party. To these we give notice that the hap teis which follow were not written with any intention to give color to their strange an un accountable hallucinations concerniiij*J\jr Jor dan, but because we desire to delineate iartic- ; u.'ariy the unparallelled facility with which our hero assumes one political charactei alter another. Chapter I. It is not necessary to carry this narrative far ther back than 1853. In that year Fr. Jordan was a Whig. His attachment to tlut party was ardent and sincere, so much so that in 185-1, he helped to draw the Know A 'olhing dagger out of its back , and assisted in burying its remains by the precarious light of a Dark i Lantern. It is said that the renowned "Sam" officiated as sexton. Chapter 11. In IS5+ Mr. Jordan was known as in "A inencan. If ever he loved one party more dearly than anotner, it was the "American" , party. He made speeches for it—traveled for —refused to have "Buzzard Feasts" made lor it—and, indeed, a naughty fellow by the narr.e of Bucher Swoope, has said that Mr. Jordan and his Bedford county friends loved it so well that they wouldn't sell it out for less than | $5OO. Chapter 111. In 1856, the subject of this sketch was a . fiery Fillmore man. Oh ! how he admired that | personification of every thing that was lovely in politics. Fillmore was his beau ideal of a jiolitician—he was ttie ne plus ultra ot states men—lie was the savior of his country—the second Washington ! Mr. Jordan's organ hois ted the Fiilmore electoral ticket, and kept it afloat with such persistency, that it is said Tom lord, of Ohio, had to come this wav to have it taken down. to the Chailes Gibbons, the Chairman of the Fremont State Committee, wrote to him about the pur chase and sale of the Fillmore vote, he asked him whether he was not "a little too fast," and advised him to wait a while. His admiration lor Fillmore was so sin cere that he voted the Cnion Electoial Ticket gotten up for the bene fit of Freinont. Chapter IV. In 1857, our hero "pitched in" for Wilmot, (he Black Republican candidate for Governor. He might havegone for Hazlefnirst, the Amer ican candidate, but his love for Americanism had been so intense in 1855 and 1556, that its very heat had consumed it, and so there was not enough of it left to attach him to the cause of that gentleman. Besides, David Wilmot was well known to have been a great protective tariff man (') though some of the old Whig pres ses had stigmatized him as the only " free hade to/y in all Pennsylvania,-' and this was an o ver-powering reason why an enthusiastic friend of a high tariff, iike Mr. Jordan, should support him. Chapter V. In 1355, Mr. Jordan became violently at tached to Douglas and Squatter Sovereignty, but the defeat of Lincoln by Douglas, soon re lieved him of this spasmodic affection. He was observed suddenly to fall back upon his old doctriue of Congressional intervention and to denounce Squatter Sovereignty as furiously as ever. In 185y he has become a great friend ot the I oreigner, and is mostobsequous in his edi torial attentions to Catholics, in all of which he must certainly be sincere, as in 1855 hi# organ teemed with abuse of' Foreigners aud did not hesi tate even to assail the venerable and universal ly respected Father HOYDEN. Conclusion. Such has been the remarkable political career of this most remarkable of all remarkable poli ticians. How wonderful his changes ! How admirable his fickleness ! One thing to-day ; another to-morrow. Where shall we look lor him next ? FINIS. mongrel Opposition, we are inform ed, do not intend holding any public meetings in this county, this fall. They are afiaid to meet the people face to face and discuss the is sues before them. The Amalgamation vcte of Geo. W. Williams stares them in the face, and they dare not meet his outraged constituency to apologise for it. But another reason why they will not hold any meetings, is, they want to make Democrats believe they are indifferent to the result of the election, and expect by this game tafceep back the full Democratic vote. Let us not be fooled by such trickery ! up guards and at them 1 The w Extra" lieorires! A POOR RULE THAT DOESN'T WORK BOTH WAYS. ! Lust year the great argument made by the j Opposition against DAVID HAY, one ot the Dem ocratic candidates for Assembly, was that he i had voted against the "Extra, Pay," but never- j theless had taken it. He was called "Extra Davy," and was ridiculed and abused without ; stint, on account of his having received the $7OO salary. We find in the Bedford Aboli tion organ, of Oct. Bth, 1858, the following ar- ! tide : David Hay and Extra Fay! Remember, taxpayers of Bedford County that DAVID HAY, the Locofoco candidate for the Legislature from Somerset County took the two hundred Dollars EXTRA PAY, of the last Lo cofoco Legislature, and applied it to his own use. If you oppose Legislators pocketing your money in the shape of EXTRA PAY, vote against j him on next Tuesday. Gen. Burns is in the same boat with EXTRA PAY DAVY HAY, and will no doubt do all he can to get some of the extra too, in case he should be elected. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS andGeoaGEG. WAL KER have pledged themselves against extia pay in any shape. Which wilFyou choose, lax-pay urs of Bedford County? HAY, BURNS and EXTRA-PAY or WILLIAMS and WALKER A- 1 GAINST EXTRA PAY ? Now, it is said that it is "a poor rule that doesn't work both ways." By the above arti cle Messrs. Williams and Walker were pledged against "Extra Pay in any shape," which meant, of course, that they would have nothing to do with it, that they would not only vote against it, but that if the Legislature ated it to its members, they would refuse to receive it. By turning to the Pennsylvania House Journal, lor 1859, pages 1159 and 1160, it will appear that Ceo. W. Williams and Geo. G. Walker both received the Extra Pay salary of $7OO ! These men were solemnly oledged to receive only $3OO, which is the salary of j members without the Extra Pay of $2OO added j by the Legislature of ISSS, but they have not kept their pledges ; they have deceived the j people, and speculated on flieir confidence.— j He repeat it, it is a "poor rule that doesn't work both ways," and if the Extra Pay argu gument was good against David Hay last fall, it is ten times stronger against Williams arid Halker, lor they had made pledges in regard to it, and Hay never had. We, therefore, apply the language used by the Abolition organ last year, to its own candidates : "REMEMBER, taxpayers of Bedford counlv, that GEO. (I. WALKER, the Black Republican candidate for the Legislature from Somerset county took the TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS EX TRA PAY, of the last Black Republican Le gislature, and applied it to his own use. If you oppose Legislators pocketing your money in the shape of Extra Pay, vote against him. GEO. W. WILLIAMS is in the same boat with EXTRA PAYGEORGY WALKER, and will, no doubt, do all he can to gel some more of the Extraj in case he should be elected." , "TWO DOLLARS A DAY AND ROAST The Opposition asked the people, last fail, to vote their ticket, on the ground that if their candidates would be elected, there would be "better times". Well, the opposition were successful. They carried 67 of the 100 mem bers of the Legislature, and at a special election held in Berks county, elected GEN. W. H. KEIM to Congress, who took his seat and served his term last winter. This same IYEJM is now their nominee for Surveyor General. Geo. W. H illiams and Geo. G. Walker were among the 67 Opposition members of tne Legislature, and; they are also again before the people as candi dates. Now these men, MESSRS. KEIM, WIL LIAMS and WALKER, were voted for by manv j persons because the opposition leaders promised j that if the}- (Messrs. Keim, Williams and Walk- 1 er) would be elected, they would put an end to the "hard times." But how has this promise been kept ? what did MR. KEIM, the great Berks county mogul of the Tanflites do, or even try to do, in Congress ? What did Messrs. Wil- 1 liams and Walker do in the Pennsylvania Le gislature ? Nothing nothing ! There fore, let the people hereafter place no confi dence in Black-Republican promises. "Two dollars a day and roast beef," was a promise in 18 J.O, and it has remained a promise to this dav. "1 lie opposition ticket, and better times," was. the outcry last fall, but not a whimper do we bear now about the opposition having produced those "better trmes." We append the following, which we copy, word for word, from the Bedford Abolition organ, of October 1, 1858, to show how the immaculate opposition then did their elect ioneering: [From the Abolition Organ, Oct. 1, 1858] Democratic times. How do the people of Bed/ord county like these great Democratic times, which are now upon us, and which we are now enjoying or en during as well as we can ? They are the gen uine articles, and no mistake." We have a democratic President, a democratic Governor, a democratic Congress, and a democratic Legis lature, and democratic national and State laws, administered by democratic office holders ; and these times are the genuine fruits of democracy, practically in force upon the people and the country. How do you like them ?If they meet your approbation, and you consider every thing right, vote for their continuance, by suppor ting theMemocraticjticket at the nextjelection. If on the contrary, you do not like these democrat ic times, and desire a change lor the belter, vote tor the other ticket, and the other candi dates, and other principles, to the end that you may have other and better times. local column is crowded out this week by an excess of other matter. We will find room for that letter forwarded from Ray's Hill as soon as possible. Tt is decidedly rich. (tP"The election comes on Tuesday, the 11th of October. Look Out! Co u nte r fe i te rs Abo u t! We have just been shown a ticket with* all the names of the Democratic candidates on it, except that of WILLIAM STATES, in place of which is printed the name of John Tnylor.— This ticket was given to a German Democrat residing in Harrison township, as a full Dem ocratic Ticket ! This is a pretty game for Mr. John Taylor and his friends to play. We should like to know the difference between this and any other species of fraud. It they desire Democratic votes for their candidate they would better not try to deceive Democrats in this way. Let thern tell the truth about such tickets, when they present them to the people. We warn our Democratic friends to be on their guard against thesespurious tickets. They will, doubtless, be sent to all parts of the county.— Look out for thpm ! The Poor Mouse. The Know-Nothing-Black-Republican-Abo- lition demagogues of this town, always make it a point to start some outrageous story about the Poor House just before the election comes off. This same old trick is now being tried again. Last year they told the most unmitigated false hoods about J John Amos, the Democratic candi date for Director of the Poor. Their stories a bout the Poor House this year are of the same stripe. Read their article on John Amos, pub lished in their paper ot Oct. Bth, 1858, which we append, and judge from their wilful lying then, of the falsity of the statements they are making now . Poor Director. We warn the people of Bedford County a gainst the election of John Amos, the Locofoco candidate for Poor Director, lie is in every way unqualified tor the office, and if unfortu nately, he should he elected, the people of the County will regret the choice. It is well known that he openixj expresses the determina tion in case of his election, to have CHRISTIAN STOUFFER, his son-in-lav: appointed as the .Mil ler ! Mr. Stouffer, several years ago, had charge ot the Poor House Mill, and the people know hovv badly affairs were then managed, and if they wish to rpturn to the same state of affairs, they will elect JOHN AMOS. Remember our prediction, as sure as he is elected, Stouffer will be the Miller. He also intends to have his own son appointed to the Stewardship, and then with the father a Director, the son as Steward, and the son-in-law as Miller, the family ot Mr. Amos will have things all to themselves in that institution. Let the voters beware ! Wm. Schafer. Our candidate for Treasurer has a record of ; which no man can say any thing in disparage j meat. Steady, upright, and persevering, he has won the friendship and esteem of all his neighbors. As a public officerjhe has already been tried, and not a word has ever been utter ed against his official conduct. He i - . . j - the funds of the county. We earnestly commend WM. Schafer to all who desire a safe and re liable Treasurer. lie is worthy of the support lof every Democrat and will make a fit succes sor to Alaj. Davis, who is universally adrnitttd to be the best Treasurer we have had lor a num ber of years. The Opposition will doubtless, try to foist tickets upon Democrats, with Air. Way's name in place of Air. Schafer's. Our friends in the country can look out for this. Mr. Schafer can be elected by at least 300 ma jority, if every Democrat does bis duty. NINETY MILES FROM SCJI ELLSBURG TO SOMERSET! By reference to the Pennsylvania House Journal, for 1859, pages 1159 and 1160, our readers will find that Geo. W Williams re ceived mileage for 320 miles circular, making the distance from his home to Harrisburg, 160 miles direct ! It will also be found that Geo. G. Walker, ot Somerset county, received mile age for 500 miles circular, or 250 miles di rect ! making the distance between the homes of Walker and Williams 90 miles direct, or ISO ciicular : Surely this is some what sin gular. Can any body explain the matter ? It looks so queer ! THE GAME OF SNEAK! The Opposition are resorting to their old Know Nothing plan of doing their electioneering in a covert and secret manner. Ihe leaders in Bed lord have sent out written circulars covering three pages of fools-cap, in which they urge their leaders in the country to get out the,vote, and say that their success will be sure. They intend to cheat the Democrats by preteuding to be idle and to care nothing about the election. They are working harder, now, to carry this county than they have for years. Let our friends in the country be on their guard. There is a conspiracy against us which must be watch ed. In order to defeat it, every Democrat must no to the polls and vote, the whole Demo cratic ticket. Let there be no splitting, or scratching. Whenever a man asks you to do that, depend on it he is in the employ of the Opposition and wants to cheat you. Look out for Know Nothing tricks! COUNTY SURVEYOR. VV e have before spoken of iMr. Ketterman, the Democratic nominee for County Surveyor, as a man who is well worthy of the support of the ppople. He has made a first-rate officer and deserves to be re-elected. Since his election in 1836, he has settled many old disputes that had arisen between neighbors, about their boun daries, and has invariably given satisfaction to all parties. He is a good Surveyor, and as a calculator of areas, he has few superiors. Lit ] the Democracy stand by^im. Cilpl. Slates. Tiip prospects of the triumphant election of this gentleman over the most unscrupulous op position that ever was made against any candi date, are daily becoming brighter and brighter. His worth as a citizen is acknowledged by all His capability for the office for j which he has been nominated, is undisputed even by his po|,t icai opponents. They cannot, dare Rot) „ any thing against him as a man. Their'only hope of defeating him, lies m secret, Know Nothing, manoeuvring and in swindling Dern ocrats t>y giving them counterfeit tickets'! Ihn being the case, it behooves every true Demo crat to fight for him the harder, and to stand by him the more firmly. When a Democrat i thus secretly assailed, it becomes us to lay aside every personal feeling, and to rally to his aid as a political brother whori"eds our as.-istaoce. Captain States has been of service to k the p,, 0 . pie of this county, and especially to the farm ing and stock-raising interest. When farmers wanted money, he was the man they went to with their cattle and horses. Let him not be forgotten by the men whom he has thus bene fitted. He deserves their votes and should re ceive them. GIMP AND COFFROTTF. Vote for Gump and CofTroth. They are o p_ posed to Williams' doctrine of white and black amalgamation. Vole for Gump and CofTroth. They are op posed to the "irrepressible conflict" of Seward which is intended to keep the North and South' at war until the institutions of the one, or the other, are blotted out. Vote for Gump and CofTroth. They are op posed to the multiplication of rotten "banks of issue, which swindle the people and break down the industry of the countrv. Vote for Gump and Cofiroth. Try th-m. V\ iliiams and Walker have beeen tried and they have done nothing for either Bedford or Somer set. COMMISSIONER. Un - M. Pearson, the Democratic candidate for Commissioner, is a gentleman who is re sppcted wherever he is known, for his integ rity oI character, his steady habits, his neigh borly kindness and gentlemanly deportment in every respect. He is a man of good business qualifications, sound judgment, and is well fitted in every particular to fill the office for which he is a candidate. He is descended from good old Democratic stock, his father, Edward Pear son, Esq., having been on the Democratic tick et in years gone by. The people of Bedford county can do no better than to elect him Com missioner. Let us rally to his support. DIRECTOR OF THE POOR lfyouwantan honest, upright man in tbe Board of Directors of the Poor, vote for JOHN K EMERY. If you want a Director of the Poor who will do his whole duly and who has the capacity to uu ii, ... ~ yruriiv i It you want to reward a good citizen and a consistent and thorough-going Democrat, vote for JOHN KEiMERY. Let the old war-horse not be forgotten. AUDITOR! The Democracy present for this' office, a man who cannot be beaten as an accountant and who is well-known in his own neighborhod as possessing business Qualifications of high order. Darnel Fletcher is just the man for Auditor, and with a board composed of Fletcher, Crismaa and Devore, the accounts ot the County will be honestly, careiully and correctly audited.

A life so prolonged could not pass without many trials ; but it was marked, beyond what is usual, perhaps, by God's boun ties. Gifted with unwonted physical health and \ .gor, and endowed with a calm and peace ful spirit, she wa3 conducted to extreme old •'o'G with scarce a trace ot that decav, which commonly prepares us for the tomb." A tall, commanding figure, and a face majestic, vet placid and benign, gave no mournful expres sion of years long past, or dissolution near at hand. A week before her death, the ruddy hue ot life had not yet faded from her cheek, and e ven death itself left no sad ravage there. It seemed almost as if her Savior God had redee med her ransomed body, as well as hep immor tal spirit, from the power of the grave. She made a good confession ot that Saviour many years and before many witnesses. She loved, on her sick bed, to talk of God's goodness and covenant faithfulness. She magnified his wavs and dealings with her, adored his counsels, re joiced in his salvation, and humbly submitted to his will. She was a worthy member of the Presbyterian church of Bedford. Her absent Pastor will miss her venerable form from am org his people, her devoted family will mourn that true-hearted mother, whose mild face was ever to them as a present blessing, the light-hearted youth and the strnng-hearted man will often bedew the bronzed cheek with the gushing tears ot a son, as he remembers such a mother: but to them we say, mourn not bitterly! for God has taken her to himstlj ; anil you, if you are faithiul, shall follow her there. BlllWLl will meet at the Court House, on Saturday evening next, at 7 o'clock. A lull attendance is requested. JOHN H.RUSH, Preside**.
