Importance of the Congressman. Our friends in Bedford County, ought, by this time, to re well acquainted with the vast importauce of the Congressman from this Dis trict Had not Mr. McFherson been in the House, last winter, Mr. Pennington would not have beeo olcotod Speaker. In bis place, Mr. Boroek, a rnuk Jree trader, would have been alerted Speaker. lie would Lave coostitu'ed the Committee of Ways aud Moans, in such a way that there would have been no Tariff bill reported. Mr. Pennington placed in <Lat Committee a majority of Tariff men, conse quently that Committee reported tho Morrill '! ariff bill, wbieb parsed the House, but was defeated by the Locofuco Senate. It is quite probable, from the prescDt arrangement of parties, that the like result may occur again. If Mr. Scbell 19 elected to Congress, although he pretend* to bo in favor of a Tariff, his duty to his party, and to keep his position in that party, ho will have to vote for the Locofoco candidate for Speaker, which in all probability will bo Bococ-k, or some other Free Trader,who, if be be elected, will constitute the Committee of \\ ays and Means of a majority of Locofoco Free Traders, who will never report a Tariff bill at all. Thus Scbell's election would de feat the Tariff by his voting for a Free Trade Locofoco Speaker. It will also be seen that he can have uo influence, as n Locofoco Con gressman, with his party in favor of a Tariff. John Cessna, Esq., who was a delugaio to the Charleston Convention offered a resolution in that body in favor of a Tariff, which was laughed down. Mr. Henry D. Foster, tho candidate for Governor, iu this State, weut to \\ ashington, during tho session of Congress, to electioneer with the Democratic Congress men in favor of a Tariff. Ho strongly urged them to pass the Morrill Tariff bill, stited to them that if they did not do it, he would ce defeated for Governor, and consequently they would lose tho President. What was the re sult ! Two Democrat* only in the House, and two iti the Senate, voted for the bill. It will thus be seen that if Henry D. Foster, their Candida;e for Governor, with the arguments be brought to bear on his biother Jioeofocos, could do nothing for the Tariff, Mr. Soheli will not be able to do even as much. His election over McPherson may, and wo believo would defeat the passage of a Protective Tariff bill by the Dext Congress. Another great reason why all who sincerely desire tho success oI our honest standard bearer tor President, Abraham Lincoln, should vote for Edward HcPketsoo, aud against. VVm. P bckell,L, that the election of Sebcll inay make the House of Representatives Locofoco. li suoh be tho fact, they would oppose every aseosuro of hie administration, aud he would -l e powerless for good to the country. If you are aftxicus for a'change, Lincoln man, of the i7i L Congressional District, vote for the Oon who will be of some service to you on the Tariff question, and on all other ques tions to which oar party is pledged. We absolutely consider the Congressman of more importance than the Governor, and we would rather 6ee any man of our party vote for Foster than for Schcll. Foster's success mtght not defeat tho Tariff, and could not op pose, in Congress, the administration of Lin coln, whilst the success of Sobell would kill the Tariff, and in all probability make tho next Congress against his administration. Lincoln men, ponder well this serious matter. SI. Clair and Fnion Townships. LARGE MEETING. Tho following report of the meeting of last Saturday evening, in St. Clair, has been band ed us by a friend. The meeting is said to have beeu the largest Township meeting ever held iu the County. Between four and five hun dred persona were present from St. Clair and Uuioo Townships, and Bedford Borough : MR. OVER: —Pursuant i<> notice ui tho In quirer, or e of the'largest meetings of the sea son oati.e off in St. Olair&vilie, ou las! Satur day night. A Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin pole, ere hundred and twenty five feet in length was raised on the occasion. After the pole raising, the immense crowd of people was called to order by Mr. Joe. 8. Riddle, and the following ofiieers appointed: President—A. 11. HULL, Esq.; Vice Pres sidente, Dan'! Berkheimer, George Ziutmers, John Fickos, Sen., Jacob Oster, John T. Ake; Sectetarie?, Win. Kirk and Win. B\ Moorbead. The meeting beiug organized, Dr. John H. Wintrodc, of Huntingdon county, was intro duced, nd delivered one of the most thrilling and argumentative speeches we have ever had the pleasure of listening to. The Dr. has a greut reputation as at) orator, aud certainly he is not overrated, as was abundantly testifieifto on last Saturday night, as cheer after cheer rent the air whilst he was dissecting the tbio yclept modern Deiuouiaey. The next speaker was cur own Fr.nk Jor dan, and moot, uoLly did be acquit himself.— Bedford county may well be proud of him. The next in order Was our friend, J. H. Fil ler. llts speech was principally to the Wide Awakes. Filter is a good speaker, and did the cause justice. The Bedford Wide Awajtes were out in full numbers, and added greatly to the display of tbo evening. The meeting adjourned about 10 o'clock, with cheer utter cheer tor Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin, McPherson and the whole Couuty ticket. V There were not less thau 400 persons on the ground. The fusiou, confusion and refusion Democracy held a meeting at the same place, iu the ulterncou of the same dtiy, and wo are reliably informed that toe crowd numbered 74 persona, all told. K. W. .19ee(iuS in Kainsburg. Our friends had quite a Urge meeting iu Kainsburg, ou Wednesday evening last, some 250 or 300 voters being present. The Bloody Run Wide Awakes, to the number of 37, wore on hand, aud made an excellent appearance.— Tbcy are the right kind of fellows, and will be wiue awake uutii after the election. An excellent speech Was made by .Mr. Jacob Longenockcr, one of the students at the Rains burg Seminary, and a young man of talent ; also by tbc old wheel horse oi our party, Hon. F. Jordan. I tie grot;st out basins in was manifested, and all were pleased with the meeting. Col> rain will do her duty this fall, and no mistake. dub IHeeling, The meeting of the Lincoln blub, in this place, on Tuesday evening last, was the best attended of the season. About dark the Wide | Awakes turned out and marched around tho | town, with their torches and banners, making a beautiful display. When they arrived at the Court House, tbcy marched into the County Hail. The room was literally jammed with Wide Awakes, and others. Hon. F. Jordan made one of the best speeches of the campaign, occupying over an hour and a half in the de livery. The enthusiasm was imuiousc. Lin j coin and Curtin stock is fast going up. Meeting in Union Township. On Monday evening, the People's Party of Union Towusbip held • meeting, iu the School House, iu Texas, in that Towuship. Although there was a misunderstanding as to whether the meeting was to be held in Lewisvilte or Texas, yet there was quite a good turn-out of our friends. Speeches were made by D. Over and Hon. F. Jordan. The best of feeling was man ifested. Union is wia* awake, and no mis take. Major Tate—Exlra Fees. The following are a few of the iteuis which Major Tate has increased to about, double what they were uoder other Ptothonolarys.— You, voter, that had to pay Maj. Tate these extras, will remember this when you come to vote on Tuesday a week. Ought you to vote for a inaß who has no more feelings for the tax ridden people of Bedford County, than to charge tben twice as large fees as other offi cers. Read this statement of a few of tLe iteuis: Under Tate. Under other officers.

On Saturday morning Jast, about half past 2 o'clook, a fire was discovered in a straw stack in tbo reai of the barn of Dr. George W. Anderson, a short distance east of Red ford. It quickly communicated to the barn, which was in a short time entirely consumed. Fortunately, the Dr. had threshed his grain and taken it to the mill. About 2 tons of bay were destroyed. Tbo horses, harness, &e., were gotten cut in time to be sived. With great difficulty the Dr.'a residence was saved. Supposed to be the work of an inceudiary. On Tuesday evening last, about half past seven o'clock, a fire was discovered in the huck part of the residence of the editor of this pa per. The ire was betweeu the weatherboard iGg and the log# of tho building, and was evi dently placed there with the intention of de stroying it. A considerable portion of tho weatbtrboarding was consumed, and t'lo logs considerably charred, in ten minutes more, the building could not have been saved, as n high wiud prevailed at the time, and the whole central portion of the town might have been destroyed. From the public situation of the building, uud from the early hour, we consider this tha boldest act of villany of the kind, that has yet. transpired in this plaoo. It is high time that the people of our town should be on the alert, for there evidently is & demon or de mons in our midst, who arc intent on destroy ing the place. We tender our thanks to those oitigcos who labored so well in saving our proportv. Henry D. Foster and the Irish. Some d*js since we were credibly informed that a number of tie more intelligent Irish colors of this county were about to vote against Henry J). Foster, for Governor. On inquiring the reason, we were told that it w*s because Foster, when in Congress, in 1847, voted against the Resolution granting relief to Ire land, at the time her people were suffcri: :>ii the horrors of famine. We had forgotten this, but on turning t> the records of that date, we fitid that Foster did vote against sai l Resolu tion, end all who wish the evidence, need or.lv turn to the Congressional Glo'ie for the session of 1847. page 572, or to tho Journal of the House of Representatives for the same tear, page 473. It is true, therefore, that when the crop 3 had failed iI: Ireland, end hc-r peopl* were oa the point of starvation, and suffering amidst the horrors of fcnat dreadful '.nine, aud when the American people cveryv.,cre were pouring out their money nd sending their grain for their relief, HENRY I>. FOSTER, then iu Congress, vote J against the 4 Bill for the Re lief oj Inlandfio wonder tho Irish are about to pay him back now, for his refusal to vote for their relief then, ".f friend in need, is a friend indeed "[MI 111 Till." Remember, Gerinau voters of Bedford Couu ty, that .Maj. S. 11. Tate, when, a few years ago, Hon. John Taylor was a candidate for Count}- Treasurer, called you "P—d Dutch" because a few of you voted for Taylor. We can prove this by respectable German voters of Bedford Borough, if Tate denys it. "Xfver Wauls a Whig to Vote for Him." Remember, Whigs of Bedford Couuty, that Maj. 8. 11 . T ate, said a few years ago, in Bloody Run, that he "never wanted a Whig to vote for him." We can prove this by uiany respect able citizens of Bloody Run, if Tate denys it. Henry Clay "a Murderer." Remember, old Oiay men of Bedford Coun ty, that Msj. S. H. Tate, in 1844, publicly charged Henry Clay with being "a murderer." Wo can prove this by plenty iiviug witnesses, if Tato denys it. Remember, voters of Bedford Couuty, that neither Maj. S 11. Tsle, nor bis friends, have dared to deny these charges, nor the oiher, in rcfereuce to doubling Ms fees. BEWME-MIS TICKETS! SAMUEL H.TATE is now sending out what pur ports to he the People's Ticket, hut it has the name of Samuel H. Tate .upon it instead of Jeremiah li- Bowles. The same game is being played by Wil liam P. Sch*ll's friends. They leave out the name of Edward McPheraon and put on Schell's. John J. Cessna and the other Locofoco candidates are doing the same thing. Take no ticket from any man unless you know him to be against every man on the Locofoco ticket. Examine every ticket, and see that every name is right. Remember, Liucoln and Cnrtin men, when Mr. Schell or any of his friend* urge you to vote for him, aud agaiuat our talented candidate, Edward McPherson, that he never voted for a man on our ticket tn his life. That at the election next Tuesday weak, he will vote for a full Locofoco ticJcet, from Foster down to Aud itor. Ask him or bis friends, whether lie will vote for Lincoln, Curtin, or any man on our ticket. He won't do it! Tben, don't vote for htm. , Remember, of Bedford County, that Win. P. So bail votod in he lust llouso of Representatives against the Tariff Resolutions, and in favor of the corrupt administration of President Bucbanao. The ladies of Bloody Run have presented the Wide Awakos of that place with a beauti ful flag. They are all good looking and intel ligent, and for linking (Lincoln) to a man ! Which Ticket is he For ? The foliowiog extract, is from the last Juni ata Democrat. It wi.l be seen that that paper states that Wiu. P. Schell, Esq., is in favor of the fusion electoral ticket, and that ho so ex presses himself: "Wo understand that Mr. Scbell expresses himself favorable to the Union Electoral Ticket, aud no man familiar with his popularity in the couptios of this District, can for a moment doubt that.hi will bo triumphantly elected; and that the citizens of our District will congratu late themselves upon his ejection when his valua ble services as a conservative, assiduous and faithful representative wiil hive assured tbeoi of his possessing Hie Jeffarsouiau qualifications of honesty and capability," Now in Bedford County it is well kuown that he favors the struisht Doogias electoral ticket ho a tied by John Cessna, Esq. Why is this, Mr. Sebel!? How docs it come that in Juniata oounty, you pretend to be in favor of the fusion electoral tick t, and in Bedford County, you and your } any are in fuvor of the straight Dcuglas ticket as follows: ELECTORS AT LAROB. •Richard Vaux, John Cessna.

That hud he voted against tic bill, it would have been defeated. That ho Las received by his own vote, §2OO a year, anioiiu'ing to ?600 iu his three years' term. That ibis vote of ScheM's costs the State, every year, tho um of §26.000, that ought now to bo going towards the payment of the State Debt. Might he not, should he be vlcet ed to Congress, consider his services of eo tuoob impoitaceo, iike in the Legislature, thnt he would again vote &>r giving himself czira pay ! Here is the vote froin the Legislative Record. Road it: Iti the Senate, on tho 7t!v April, the question of the S2OO extra pay came up. Mr. Myer moved that instead of the S2OO additional pay,-the annual com pensation shall hereafter be S7OO and mileage, in stead of SSOO and mileage, as ut present—which was agreed to. Mr. Ely then moved to amend, that the section shall not apply to tho members of the present Legislature. Not agreed to—yeas 10, nays 16.

Before an other number of our paper roaches some of you, the great battle in Pennsylvania will ba fought. Are }oa ready to take part irt this great con test? If uot, go to work now, it may not yet be too late. See that all your Atnericau aud Republican neighbors are out to tbo election to vote for Ounio, McPherson, and tbo whole ticket. Rcmetnbor, that a voto for Curtin and the whole District and County tickets, is worth at least ten votes for Lincoln, on the beariug it will have on the secouu election, and on the doubtful States. Every man who anxiously desire* the election of Lincoln, should remem ber this, aud get every vter out, for the whole ticket. Towotk! To work! "Forewarned is forearmed." We copy tbo followiug notices in reference to the Hon. F. Jordan from the Connollsvilic Patriot. Mr. Jordan m ido some ten or a dozen speeches in a recent tour to the Southwestern counties of the State, in Westmoreland, Fay cite, Washington and Greene : Hon. Fr. Jordan addressed the people of (Jniontown on the political questions of the day and made a-powerfhl argument in favor of the Piotettiva policy of the Republican party. — His speech wa* highly interesting, and made an excellent impression. Ou Tuesday afternoon Col. A G. Curtio, accompanied by Hon. Fraud* Jordan, J. Veech irnd E. P. Oliphuit, Esq's., passed through this place curoute for Greensburg. Quite a Lrge crowd of our citizens assembled at the depot to greet "the next Governor of Pennsyl vania." Mr. Jordau inade an effective speech, exposing the Frea trade policy of the Democ racy. MEETING IN HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP. The People's party of llopewull Townebip, will meet at the School House, near John Dasher's, on Wednesday evening, the 3d day of October. Addresses will be delivered by Hon Alex. King and others. The neighboring Townships are invited to attend. Let there be a good turn-out. Heeling in Union.

After (to-morrow,) 29th of Sept. inst., it will he too late. Friends, in all the Townships and Boroughs in the County, attend to this and see that yourselves, and all oihcrs of our friends are on the assessment Ix oks.

Tate is electioneering with Breck inridge men, as a Breckinridge ntac, and with Douglas men as a Douglas man. Who is he for? Won't be cheat somebody. Douglas imn, : Breckinridge man, can you trust him. To be sure you won't be cheated, make him siga u statement with his own name stating for whom be intends to vote for President. THE THRSTMILL TAX. Col. S. S. Wharton, lias come out, in a Card in the last Huntingdon Jouri.al,statu g thst-he is against the repeal of the three mill tonuago tax. Col.

The Bedford County Fair commences on next Tuesday, and continues three days. We hope to see a good attendance, and a first-rate display of the products of the farmer, manu facturer and mechanic. The ladies, also, shoulJ be on hand with the articles of their skill. Broadfop and Congress. Wo understand that the friends of Mr. Scbeil are urging his special claims because of his services rendered to Broadtop. We submit it as a fact worthy of consideration, that Broadtop lias done more for Mr. Scbeil than ever he did for it. LIlfOFOdl) TICKET. Breckinridge men of Bedford County, re- j meuibsr that Foster, Scbeil, Scott, Tate, John 1 J. Cessna MeMullio, and every utau on tbe j Democratic ticket, is for Douglas. How do j yon tike it? John Scott of lluniiugiion, voted agiiust James Campbell, for Supreme Judge, several years ago, giving ** his reasons, that Campbell was a Catholic. So says I lie Huntingdon Journal. Ntw GOODS. —J. M. Shoemaker <5 Co. have received a new lot of cheap fall and winter goods. They desire all their friends and the public geuora'.ly to give them a call. Wuj. P. Scheii, Esq., made a strong speech at the Douglas ratification meeting in Bedford, in favor of Douglas. Remember this, Breok inriJge men rf Bedford, Franklin, Juniata. Adams and Fulton. Don't be deceived, far he is in favsi of tbo straight Douglas ticket headed by John Cessna. For the Inquntr. HON. W. P. SCHELL. Mr. OVER:—In your psper of last week, your correspon lent, "East Providence," wish es to know if it is true that (he Hon. Win. P. Sehefl killed the Witness Fee Bill in tba Sen ate. As I have been asked that, or similar questions by other portions of the county, I feel it my duty, therefore, as the repre sentative from this county, t) answer that ques tion. lu the first place, when I went to Ilarris burg lust winter, I had my mind on two bills whiah 1 was very anxious to get passed, viz: One for the sale of our County Poor House property, the other to raiae tho fees of witness es atteuding Court iu Bedford county, to one dollar per day. Accordingly, on the 24th day of January last, 1 had a bill passed through the House, allowing witnesses one duller per day and mileage, which bill was sent to tho Senate for concurrence. (See House Journal, page 152.) I called Mr. Sobeli's attention to the bill on the 2Sth of January, and ha prom ised to attend lo it. I called his attention to it several times during the session, and he al ways promised to call it up in the Senate, but neglected to do so. 1 called on him on the 2d of April, just die day before the adjournment. He promised me then, that he would positively call it up and put it through. I urged him to do so, tod told him that 1 believed that at least nine persons out of ten in the county wished the bill to pass. Alter all bid promises, he never did any thing with it. It was not for the wntof time, for he had all the tirno that he needed. Now, jour correspondent from East Providence is mistaken in supposing that Mr. Schell killed tbo witness fee bill. He did not do that, he only let it die. Whether Mr. Schell was op posed to giving witnesses attending Court as much as would pay their boarding, or wlu ther he was determined to oppose everything that I wished to get passed, lam unable to say. I had two other bills, one lor the removal of the election in St. Clair, and the ottrer for the re moval of the election in Middle Woodbcrry Townships, whioh were treated in the same way. As for the Poor liouso till, the prople of liedfoid Uoumy understood it perfectly well, and will know wbcthor Mr. Sohell's amend, ment made it any belter, or whether they were calculated t> injuro it; that is for them to judge. 1 will also here state, that Mr. Schell and myself were on (be best kiod of terras all the time, and he could not have treated me boiler, only he refused to pass my bills. 1, on the other hand, passe I all his tiiia (which were a good many,) through the House, except one to prevent the fishing for trout, with seines and tots, m tho county of Bedlotd. 1 tie net wsb to say anything calculated to injure i-aOcli, fori entertain none but fknuf.o leci towards hiin. My object is to give und settle wrong impressions amongst, tt- peep , through the County of Bedford, cn th : ' sub ject. ' G. W. WlMilAtyg. NAPIKK TP , .Sept. 25, IBCY. mSSILYA.II*. Ir. the Pennsylvania State Electioo of 1856 the Fremont and Fillmore patties were alli e *' having formed their State Ticket prior to the nominations for President. They were pre pared to carry, and would have carried that Election by about Ten Thousand majoritv, when their opponents, jmt before the day of trial, raised iarge amounts of money, mainly i m | l | l "ds!'- T ' U P therewith soma uoutt j Obliy r ill more leaders, fabricated and distribu. Ed whole tiuoksfull of counterfeit Naturali zation Certificates, ami carried the State in a grand surge of corruption and fraud, bv some Ihree rnousand majority. This triumph of Sham Democracy was simply a gig a „ tic win . die, as was judicially proved i 0 a contest of he elcctton ot Dtsrrta Attorney in Phila delphia, and still lurther established by tbo Covode Invest,gat.ou. And that swindle se cured the elevation of James Buchanan to tbe Pieeidcuey, and so—io the slang G f the day —"saved the Union." If the Uuiou could in truth only he saved by such means, would It be really worth saving? At bet two last State Elections, Pennsylva nia has been cariied by the united Opposition or "People's Party" by an average majority of iwenty ihousuud; and that parte, in full Convention, has nominated Col. Andrew G. Cartio for Governor hitU sent delega'o to Chicago who there procured tbe nomtoaliou of Abraham Lincoln tor President. They had the choice among ail tbe candidates outside of Pennsylvania, and they deliberately aud unani mously cbosc Mr. Liucoln as tbe man who, by his known antecedents, his personal character, aud bis well understood principles, was the very man to combine their suffrages and carry their state, liteir voice was foremost among the iufiueuces which secured his Domination. A very smali segmeut of the People's party bus boiled mis nomination, aud pretends t> support John Bell, along with the little band oi Democratic stool-pigeons who, hilhetto calling themselves "Straight Americans," have for years been hired and used to distract tbe Opposition ami aid the parly in power. (Sea S. J. Alegargee'a testimony beiore tbe Printing Investigation Committee.) These together are uuw diag-dougtng a lot of bells with the plain intent o! gtvtug aid and comfoit to tbe Na turalization swindlers of 1856. But how can tuey deceive anybody? They have no Bell Electoral lioket, and do uot menu t> have any, unless us a blind ; their votes w,)I be given for inose vno have repeatedly bought and used them. 1 heir immediate business is to abstract as many vote* from Curtm as possible, and thereby secure tbe election of Henry D. fos ter, the Fusion Democratic candidate for Gov ernor. We trust this unprincipled coalition is to bo beaten, but it will require the utmost exertions ot the Lincoln men of Penusyivauia. They have the supporters of Douglas, Breckicridgu aud Bell all corabiued on Foster, which will give- him thousands of votes that caanot bo uutted ou any conceivable Electoral Ticket.— The utmost efforts of the Republicans aud People's men must be put forth to securo Curtin's electiou, and to this eud we tuake a linal and urgent appeal. MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA .' you sfaad in tbo Thermopylae of this momentus struggle ! You can see that the triple-beaded adversary can not combine ull its forces on a common Elec toral ticket—lhat the Douglas men spurn the idea of voting for Breckinridge, and have Dominated a clean Electoral Ticket—that tho Adopted Citizens canoot ha induced tj vote for Bell Electors, while thousands now acting as Bell mcu cannot be induced to vote a Fusion Ticket Irorn which the names of Bell aieu are excluded. But the country cannot, will not see this; aud the great multitude of hesitat ing, dubious, indifferent, will regard Curtin's defeat as putting the Otaie against Lincoln in November. Such a result in October would be bailed by our motley adversaries as a death blow to our cause, sn l would aid them in (using aud unitiug their incongruous factions into one common party. Elect (Jurtiu, and ihe Presidential contest is decided ; let biin be defeated, aud wc shall have to struggle des perately to the close of the pells in November.

Trib. Keep it Before the People! That every vote cast for Henry D. Fostar, at the State Election, is a vote to sustain and endorse the praseut wret'hed National Admin istration!
