THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bedford, Dec. tSS, 5 555. G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor. Democratic Comity Meeting! The Democracy of Met 1 ford County will meet, in Mass meeting, at the Court House in Bedford on MONDAY EVENING of the approaching Court to choose conferees to meet those of Fulton and Somerset to select a Senatorial delegate to the next State Convention, and to make other ar rangements for a full and thorough organization ofthe Democratic Party of Bedford County.— It is hoped that every Democrat who can make it convenient to attend will do so. Several speeches will be made on the occasion. JOHN P. REED, Chairman County Committee. Declaration of Isidependence !Vo 2 Accessary! The fathers and founders of our Liberties en tered riot upon the unequal struggle ofthe Re volution until they had exhausted every means and effort and hope to eflect a reconciliation with their British brethren. In the touching story of their hardships they declare: "We have reminded them of (he circumstances of OUR EMIGRATION" AND SETTLEMENT HERE. We have appealed to their native jus tice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to dis avow their usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connexions anil correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity." Driven at last by British misrule and oppression, they unsheathed the sword. Thev appealed to the God of armies, in attestation of the righteousness of their cause —they addressed themselves to the world in a published declaration of their rights, as well as ofthe grievances, the wrongs and injuries they endured from the parent country —and the God ofbattles crowned their arms with success, and the world sympathised with them. France sent to our aid her chivalrous soldiers with Lafayette at their head. "They came—they saw—they conquered" with us: and not a vestige of British power was left on this hallowed soil of li'vity —henceforth and forever to be overspread by the protecting wings and talons ol the Ameri can Eagle. After the glorious Declaration of Indepen dence was ratified and proclaimed by the as sembled Conscript Fathers of the Republic on ■ the 4th of July 177G—after the consummation i of American emancipation from British bondage by the blood and heroic labors of Washington, and the rest of our immortal liberators—who could imagine that a day was ever to dawn, which was to prove that all the torrents of re- I volutionary blood that hail been shed were shed in vain—when America was to RE TROGRADE in the march of freedom, and falsely- j called Americans were to arise, to undo the! matchless work of American heroism, the great achievement of the revolution? Yet so it is, the very gravamina, wrongs, injustices, and i monstrous political evils inflicted by British I barbarity on the infant colonies—and to free ! this country from which, so much blood and j treasuie have been lavished, are all re-produced in our midst by a set of degenerate natives, im properly styled Americans—but truly called KNOW NOTHINGS. We have only to sub- j stitule this barbarous appellation, befitting Goths ami Vandals, for that of "British," and there is not a single detail of wrong or outrage perpetrated by England against us, as t forth in the Declaration of Independence, bu can be , alleged against the Know Nothings, and lias been literally committed by. them whenever and wherever in power. Every flagrant injury there described, which made the blood of the revolutionary heroes boil, and their swords leap from their scabbards, rftfty be most truthfully charged on (his fonl faction. "The history of Know Nothings, (to appropriate to them the j words sajd by our fathers of the British tyrant j King George the Third in the instrument ai!u- j ded to,) is a history of repeated injuries and u surpations, all having in direct object the esta blishment of an absolute tyranny over these i States." Read the crimes and outrages, as un folded in the Declaration cf Independence, and j then compare and contrast them with "the in- j juries and usurpations" of our Know Nothing I tyrants. Look ou that Picture and then on this, and decide. To prove this let facts be submitted to a can did world. They have refused their assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary, and given it to others the most injurious and absurd. They have forbidden their Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, and charged them to pass laws the mast unconstitu tional, oppressive, and disfranchising to vast numbers of our fellow-citizens. They have refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, un less these people would relinquish their rift fit to worship God according to the dictates of their conscience , a tight inestimable to them and for midable to tyrants only. They have called together legislative bodies for the express purpose of robbing citizens o I their inalienable tights, aiming to deprive them of the elective franchise, declaring them ineli gible to any office of trust, honor or emolument, and debarring them from the sacred right to hold or apply, as they judge fit, ail property left by themselves tor religious purposes and charities. They have, by seeking to gain n legislative majority through undue means, effectually dis solved representative houses, repeatedly, for opposing with manlv firmness their invasions on the rights of the people. ' They have endeavored to prevent the popu lation of these States; for that purpose obstruct ing thp laws of naturalization of Foreigners; re fusing to pass others to encourage their migra tion hither, and raising the conditions of new ap propriated lands. They have obstructed the administration of justice by refusing their assent to laws which would make all citizens, whether native or foreign, equal in the eye of the law. They have, by party promises and threats, made Judges dependent on their will alone, for the tenure of their offices and payment of their salaries. They have created a multitude of new offices, ad sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people and eat out their substance, (as in our goodly citv of Philadelphia and elsewhere.) They have combined with others to subject us to a AUNTS DICTION (the midnight oath-bound Conclave) foreign to our Constitution and un acknowledged by our laws, giving their assent to acts of Lodge pretened legislation. For quartering large secret bodies of armed j bullies amongst us at election times. For protecting themselves, by a mock trial, fiom punishment (or any murders which they shall commit on the inhabitants of these States, in the discharge of their right of suffrage at the Polls (as in Louisville, New Crieans and Balti more.) For imposing taxes on us without our consent. For depriving us in many cases of the bene fits of trial by jurv—holding their secret extra judicial oaths paramount to all others, especial ly when any of our citizens of foreign birth, or of a different religion from other citizens, are concerned. For taking away the RELIGIOUS CHARTERS of many of our citizens, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the powers of our governments. For suspending our legislatures virtually, by their efforts to attain ascendancy, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever (even to a simple beverage.) They have plundered our citizens, burnt the houses, the Churches, and destroyed the lives of our people. They have excited domestic insurrections a mongst us in our North-Western borders, and especially in our southern States, and have endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of these States, the Negro slave population whose known rule of warfare is, to ven geance, undistinguished ages, sects and conditions. From this fair institu ted between the acts of the and the evils and wrongs denounceWiy our glorious patriots of "'76," it would seem that there is the strongest possible resemblance between our British oppressors of old and them.— They appear to have studied the immortal in strument of our political redemption only for the express purpose of ascertaining and re-en acting all the "injuries and usurpations" there held up to the world's abhorrence by the heroes and sages of the American Revolution. Of a truth, if General Washington had caught such characters during the Revolutionary War, they would have "Dangled on the nearest tree" as traitors atul tories who had thus fraternized with tile common enemy, who, in the Declara tion of Independence, is pronounced guilty "of cruel/ v and perfidy scarcely parelleled in the must barbarous ages, and totally un worthy of a civi lized nation ." The usual language of Washing ton and his Generals in their proclamations was: "All who should, IN ANY MANNER, aid the ene my, would be considered as traitors, and should sinTer the utmost ri<*or of the law.''' —(Vide Marshal's life of Washington.) What then would the American saviours of tin ir country have done to those who would seek to re-estab lish the bondage and monstrous principles of tyrannj' to overthrow which they mutually pledged to each other THEIR LIVES, THEIR FOR TUNES, AND THEIR SACRED HONORS." Since then there is such evident likeness— such perfect identity of spirit and views between our know nothing task masters and our former British enslavers, a magnanimous resolve similar to that passed by the patriots of Congress the 2d July, 1770, should be adopted and proclaimed by tbe entire American people, viz : Resolved, That these United Colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Know-Nothing,secret oath-bound Despo | tism, and that all political connexion between them and the said taction is and ought to be to tally dissolved." Assuredly a new Declaration of Independence is now imperatively demanded, not against the ! tyrant King George the Third of Great Britain, i but against the tyrant King Sam the First of Great Know Nothingdom; and the illustrious signers of this Document are to be all the Free • man of the United States at the polls assembled jin ISSG. This will be called the ever-memor able Epoch of AMERICA REDEEMED—of LIBERTY RECOVERED. . '4% ' •* - | "From the caverns of darkness fh'y'" dayJsprings shall dawn, . Ye Know-Nothing tyrants beware ; 1 Your names shall decay like vapors of morn, [ Or vanish like phantoms of air. * Thy Temple, O Freedom! with grandeur shall rise, : Its basis the earth, its summit the skies, I And firm as creation shall last." J Our friend TRAUGII, of the Standard, coirectsus in a statement we made a we< k or j two since viz : "that Hollidaysburg has long | been in want of a good Hotel"—and avers that, during a residence of fifteen years in the place, j he never knew it to be without half a dozen or less (A as good Hotels as can be found in any place of its size between Pittsburg and Philadelphia." We stand corrected, with tbe single remark, that a number of our people, on visiting the town, have failed to find them ! Some folks, however, never can hit upon a "streak of good luck."— Thp "Exchange," by Maj. WIXGATE, we can safely say is such a house as the Standard speaks of. KPT fan Attorney to the Poor House is afc unnecessary as the fifth wheel to a wagon— how much is the services of an Attorney worth Commissioners of the County ? / If the Treasurer to the Poor House is onfy worth $35 a year, how much more valuable is the services of the Treasurer to the County ? . 'lf the services of the Clerk to the Poor lloiisT is worth but $25 a year, how much should the .Clerk to the Commissioners be worth ? Will some of the K. \. "Reformers" aris-* wer, in order that they inay not stand in the at titude of being strangled by gnats whilst swal lowing camels with impunity ? CONGRESS Has not yet organized, owing to the fight beween the "Native to which faction among them shall obtain the Spoils. In the meantime, the interests of those tht-y represent are entirely disregarded, and the Peoples' money is squandered with a degree of recklessness heretofore unheard of. The last Know Nothing Legislatures in the different States, and the present Know Nothing Congress, will stand as mon uments of corruption and iniquity such as have never disgraced any other party that ever existed in this country. irr* Attention is directed to the advertise ment of Town Property,' paw Mill Properly, See. for sale by Messrs.

This able and reliable Democratic Journal, located in the city of Philadelphia, will appear in the form of a double-sheet, published on ele gant new type, on the first of January next, which will make it one of the largest as it is now one of the hest Democratic papers in ttie Union.

Wilson KeiUy* Esq. (E7*This eloquent defender of Democratic Princi ples, and well known as one of the ablest and mo.-t attractive Speakers in the State, will be present to address the Democratic meeting in Bedford at the approaching Court, and hence we feel warranted in saying that all who attend wilt return home pleased. Mr. lieilly was the late Democratic candidate for Congress; but the time was so short between his nom ination and the election ttiat he had but little time to visit and address the people. As he will most like ly he our candidate next fall, we should like the peo ple of the comity, generally, to hear and see him. The Presidential election, which take* place next fall, makes it highly nece-sary that the Democracy of Bedford County should fully organize at an early day, and thus be able to give a majority for our can didate that will do credit to the intelligence of our citizens. Those Democrats who abandoned their dearly cher ished principles to join the Know Nothings, and who now see their error, are cordially invited to come back—and to those Whigs who are disgusted with the course taken by their leaders, we also extend a cordial invitation to come and go with us in the great national struggle of 1856.

Happy New Year to all. THE PLUNDERERS! "This is only one feature of the regular sys tem of plunder practiced by the "Democracy." The cohesive power ol public plunder being the only power that holds the party together, every Democrat, when in office, regards it as a duty to steal all he can himself, and allow others the same privilege." This extract is copied from the Morning IJer ald oflast Monday. Its source scarcely entitles it to a notice at our hands, but it is so very low —so detestably mean—so entirely characteristic. —and withal so inuch in accordance with the arguments generally used bv the opposition against the Democratic party, that we claim the indulgence of our readers for dwelling upon it a moment. Human nature is fallible, and all experience teaches that there are specimens of the genus ho 7no who wear the smooth, frank expression of honesty to cover hearts "deceitful above all things and desperately wicked." Such men, we admit, (and we admit it with a tinge of shame,) have been and are to be found in the Democratic party. They seek rt* embrace as a means to arri them in accomplishing their nefarious purposes, just as the hypocrite seeks the pale of the visible church to deceive the world and cheat the devil. The former sing pceans to Democracy while thev plot and counterplot how to betray their fellow men, while the latter joins in the worship ofthe sanctuary while his heart is concocting schemes to cheat his God. These festering sores upon humanity will always exist, and the utmost that honest men can do is to punish them for their wickedness and despise them fur their treach ery. But we are far from admitting that the Demo cratic party holds a larger number of these scoundrels than any other pariv. We do r.ot even concede that it contains as manv. Look at the past history of the old whig party, (peace to its ashes !) and what dark shadows loom up there! See the gloomy outline of the United States hank arising, while the wails of thousands of wretched homes ascend upon the air! He hold the damning iniquity of the Galphin swin dle blotting the records of a Whig Administra tion and Whig Cabinet officers! And how many petty crimes in our own Slate and neighbor hood cluster around these pyramids of wrong— all the offspring of Whig principles and the acts of Whig professors! And yet we do not pretend to say that that old party was entirely corrupt. No, there was honesty in it; honest men adhered to it : but all this honesty produc ed in its day very little good. j And the American, the Know-Nothing party, |is it above suspicion ? We trow not. Massa i cluisetls Legislation and Kentucky elections are j occurrences of two recent date to require more than a mere mention. Aie the thousand and one instances of falsity, treachery, peijury, ol i that party forgotten ? No they are familiar as j household words, and will be remembered when | the participators in them shall moulder in the dust—despised and forgotten. Hut it may he said that all this is not answer ing the Herald. True, recrimination is not ar gument. We did not intend to answer that {>a per. We desire merely to show what kind of men raise the hugh and cry against Democracy, and we can only account for their bitterness; by presuming that they are afraid to look inwardly. The cunning fox often employs a ruse to divert the pursuers from tin* right track. While we cannot deny that men professing fo be Democrats have committed wrong acts, yet we can say that the party never took them to its arms, after the wrong was committed, and attempted toshield them from just punishment. On the contrary it was always first to have the guilty punished and the wrong righted. This fact is, of itself, sufficient to answer all the bil lingsgate of the Herald and kindred prints, and with it we shall leave them toreflect upon their own political acts, conscious that they can find plenty of food for unpleasant fancy and plenty of crimes requiring repentance.—Harrisbui" Union and Patriot, Dec. 21. Governor of Wisconsin. A dispatch from Milwaukee, dated December 17, conveys the gratifying intelligence that the Hoard of Canvassers have deflated William A. Barstow, the Democratic candidate for Govern or, elected by 159 majority. This is a glorious triumph for the Democracy of Wisconsin. Never were more Herculean eflbrts made to de feat anv candidate. ] A SEA FA TUNC; WOMAN. —The Philadelphia Ledger, of Dec. IStb, says that while the ship James Ray was lying near Quarantine, on her return to port, one of the sailors was discovered by the mate to be a female in disguise. She confessed the trick, and stated that she belonged to Lowell, Massachusetts, and was married and had a child about two years old. She was married at 13, and is now only 17 years of age. She had been to sea before and was as active in clambering the rigging as the most expert of the "old salts." The captain of the ship de signs sending her home. CHILD ATTACKED AND RITTEN BY A RAT.— A most singular circumstance occurred in the house of Mr. VV illiam Crawford, formerly keep er of the old St. Charles,) on Pennsylvania av enue, last Monday night. A voting daughter 'of his, a mere infant, was lying in the bed asleep, when she was attacked by a huge Nor way rat, which began to inflict bites on her arm and hand. A little hoy in the same bed awoke and endeavored to drive the animal away, but he too was bitten in three or four places on the hand. Th girls hand from the wrist to ttie end of the thumb was bitten in a dozen different places, and she is quite seriously injured. Ihe screams of the children attract ed the mother to the bed and not until then did the vile beast leave them. He was afterwards caught and summary vengeance executed on him. Pitts. Gazette. SUIT FOR A LO>S IN THE CARS.—A suit was brought on Thursday last, before Justice Gardner, at Jersey City, against the New York and Erie Railroad Co., by Lewis Harntim, for an overcoat which was stolen from his seat in the ears on that road. The train stopped at Port Jervis, and the plaintiff seeing a notice posted up in the cars that passengers in order to keep their seats must leave some article of baggage or wearing apparel in them, left his overcoat there while he went into the refresh ment saloon. Upon returning he discovered that his overcoat had been stolen. The com pany declined to pay for it. He sued them, and the Justice decided in his favor. KNOW NOTIJINGISM IN THE JURY RON. —At the last Greene County Circuit, was tried for the second time the indictment ot Martin Mor ! rison for the crime of rape. The case excited great ieterest. On the first trial the prisoner had been convicted. This second trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury. They stood eight for conviction and four lor acquittal. The Greene County Whig, commenting upon this re sult, states that the prisoner was the President of a Know-Nothing Council at Halcott. and the four disagreeing jurymen were Know-Nothings. It further states that the prominent members of the Order in Catskill, were anxious about the issue of the trial, and exercised an influence upon it detrimental to the coiirs- of justice.— The guilt of Morrison was not denied in the jury room. Hut the refusal of the four to concur in a verdict was placed upon the ground that al though there was no doubt about the commis sion ol the crime charged, the evidence did not sufficiently prove it ! —and that the punishment affixed by the statute to the offence, was too severe in their judgment. Know-Nothingism itself is now on trial before the people. One of the gravest charges against this criminal is, that it hinders the execution of the laws, and corrupts the administration of justice, in the jury box and on the bench. The popular ver dict, and the subsequent vindictive judgment, will be the estimate placed by ail good men upon the enormity of this offence.— Troy Bud get. INTERPRETATION OK DREAMS. —There is a new guide to the interpretation of dreams. An English paper thus puts it: "To dreain of a millstone round vour neck, is a sign of what you may expect if you get an extravagant wile. To see apples in a dream betokens a wedding, because where you find apples yon tnav reason ably expect to find pears. To dream that vnu are lame is a token that you will get into a hob ble. When a young lady dreams of a coffin, it betokens that she should instantly disco; tinue lacing her stays tightly, and always go warmly and thickly shod in wet weather. If you dream af a clock it is a token that you will gain credit —that is tick. To dream of fire is a sign that if you are wise you w ill see that the lights in your house are out before you go to bed. To dream that your nose is red at the the tip is an intimation that you had better leave of! brandy and water. To dream of walking barefoot) d denotes a journey that you will make bootless." ! Vi' NFR.AR.t.R BUTTER.—A tub of butter, weigh ! ing about 200 lbs. was recently discovered sev- I era! feet beneath the surface of the earth, at Winstead, Conn. The spot upon which it was found had been occupied some twenty years be foie by a country store, and the supposition is that the hutter lias remained buried all that time. The cask was partially decayed, hut its contents were sweet, and without any unpalata ble taint or flavor.
