G. W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor-
FOR PRESIDENT,

"Alter week our columns will con
tain their usual variety.
article from Harrisbur-x AVy-
S7oc, relative to a tlisgracyl'u.l attack upon Au
ditor C, net a! BANKS, is unavoidably Crowded
out, but will appear next week.
X,**'A Mention is directed to the advertise
ment of Real Estate for sale Sv (1. H. Spang,
Esq., administrator of Eiiss S. Hook's Estate, jn
' umberland V alley.
."We desire the [iconic to hear in mind that
notwithstanding the ttianv hard things-said and
written about the Bedford Gazette. its oppo
nents are always careful never to lay any of its
articles before their readers. Even the Rev.
JOHN CHAM BCI;S, although making a commenta
ry of two'columns upon a short editorial of ours,
iteciineddo tifv'e the article upon which he com
mented, notwithstanding we published both bis
letters m toil. The Philadelphia Sun copies
four tines of our reply to Mr. C., and drops
the subject! A speech, or even a short article,
hv the Gazette, .alwavs afibrds the enemies of
Democracy a theme upon which to talk and
write tor months—and yet they "I]rct to believe
?l;3t it is of no -account whatever!
The Gazette has hut a single object in view,
viz: The promotion iruth and correctprimipies.
THE FIEBST SVtG'IL
: . ."We invite the especial attention of our
readers to extracts from a letter written by a
If '.7<g meoiber <0 Congress fro to Missouri, on the
sid j.-ct of Know Noth ingism, which will be found
on the first Page—a Is >to a 1 hi, eloquent, and
tnnnlv li tter vilten by a V irginia Whig —both

name of freemen. It i> no disgiace t > have
joined the order, be!;- vino it (o have be n built
!i[Kin an honest foundation. Disgrace will
only adhere to those who refuse to leave it. al
ter having been fully convinced of its infamy,
all rational mn now are. The oath amounts
to nothing. It is not binding jri law. One of
the Ginnd High Priests of know Nothingism,
at the late election, charged a young gentleman
who l"fi the order in disgust with having taken
a false, cut A, but the law era.!-! not take hold
i>l th" s'.mderpr who made the charge, because
the oath is not legally binding on any one.
The lit . ull cf the laic Spring Flection in
51 E2BI'CCS 2® Ct&L'.TiTl".
lt7WVe have only room, this week, lo assure
•'in readers that tin* Democracy had a clear ma
jority of at least thirty votes in the County of
Bedford ct the Spring election which took
place nil last Ftiilay week,.notw ithstanding the
Know Nothings made exertions not surpassed
by then: even at a Presidential election, whilst
the Democrats had made but little preparation,
:mrl thatonlv a f-\v days prior to the election.
Mr. CESSNA has made a calculation to prove this
statement, which we will publi-h imxt week,
and which must satisfy all who examine it of its
truth. Falsehood and detraction are the only
weapons employed by the midnight order : and
the people cat)not believe a word uttered bv
their leaders either in reference to men or to
measures. When it is known that thev have
claimed from f00 to 1000 majority in this
count v. the people-will be able to appreciate the
bands >me verdict thus rendered againt them bv
the honest yeomanry of the county. The
change in favor of the Democracy in Middle
Woodberrv is overwhelming. No reasonable
man now doubts th.it we will carry Bedfird -
countv bv a largely i;.crease;! maj nity at the
General kmc!ion
Tftst' Law ?£t'pcalf(l!
7~ .A. License Bill (repealing the infamous
JLug Law \ has passed •> .th Houses ot the Legis
lature. In the Senate unanimously, a-nd rrr the •
Hons ■ bv a vote of (i+ to 32. The New Li
cense ItdJ authorizes the Courts to license Ho
tels, Inns, Taverns, and Eating Houses, under
severe restrictions.
Not more than one hotel to every 100 taxa
bles may be licensed in the cities, nor rr ore than
one to every 150 taxables in (he country, to be
apportioned among the wards of the cities,and
boroughs and townships of the counties, as the '
convenience and and necetEties of the public,
may lequire. The minimum rate of hotel li
ivn-vs in Pittsburgh am.i Philadelphia, i.- fixed
at $Tf ; in county towns and boroughs of over ;
-00 taxables, SSO : in the country. $25. One
eating-bouse to every lour hotels mav be lice; -
st din citv and country, with the privilege to
sell domestic wines and malt liquors only—the 1
license fee nut to be- less than SSO in Philadel
phia, and S2O in oilier parts of the Slate.
Brewers and distillers are to pay double the •
rates of license noxv fixer! bv law, which shall ;
in no case be less than SSO, and must riot sell
tu less quantities than five gallons, except in tile
a.se of brewers who also bottle ,tiu-ir liqu us,
who may sell by tb ■ dozen buttles. Retailers
of liquors, with or without merchandize, are to j
pay double the rates now required of them, but
not less than $5 i in any case, and will not be j
allowed to sell in less quantities than one gal
lon. Bottlers of Porter, aC, cider, and other
brewed liquors, and nvanuiacturers of dome.,(re
wine, may sell iri quantities of not less that: OIK [
dozen bottles, w about license.
There are many ridiculous absurdities in this ;
Bill, r.!sg, Art it is the best tb*- could bo !.. 1 j
from the pt.-sen' Female, ae,;! the people will j
have f.) thoroughly redeem that body from fa '
nut icut temperance own la Jure th->v can get a i
fair ...;J r.;t: n;.l license Law. We will publish !
tiie Bill, as passed, in the next Gazette.
~ "THE follow ing paragraph from Col. JOHN •
W. FORNEY. :n taking leave of the Washington j
i a.!, wkii which l:e has been connected for i
* v.-ral years, cl .*•••? !:is remarks on the subject !
in a ivarm-T worthy the imitation of every !
D mocra' in the land. Trua jiatriotism never i
fails to come to this point :
"\V lioKisOever may be nominated as tie* can- '

Democratic Convention, whether the present 1
eminent Chief Magistrate or the man who is the |

05" "A VIALG AMATION ! —Thp old Federal par
ty met in Harrisburg last week and rr.ade a
mongrel nomination for State officers, about
which we will speak hereafter. Who appointed
• Mr. JORDAN a delegate ' We heard of no meet
ing having been held fir this purpose ! Did
| he appoint himself, and was the other amnlga
- mat ion ists appointed in the same way? Who
, | deputed Mr. Austin as the Senatorial delegate)
Was it the people or a midnight Lodge? We
heard of no conference.
! The resolutions are a compound of aholition
- : ism, nonsense, and nothing ' Not the slightest
- | reference is made to Fillmore and Dnnelson, the
I : SLAVERY Ticket, although tlmv are nominees of
; the Know Nothing National Convention ! Had
j any one dared to have made a move to endorse
these nominations, the mot Ley crowd would
j have broken-up in a regular built fight. The
Daily .Acres considers it wise that tfu-v (trapped
j that-subject. Not a word is saicfitfi the resolu
t ! tions about the Pope ; not one word about the
I confessional : not one word about monasteries or
. i nunneries : not one word about the odious riatu
, raiizalion laws ; not the slightest allusion In the
. American eagle; not the least intimation that
- •'Americans must rule America."

'•I MM 10 it AT HIN .—The litpu'die Af Wednesday con
ta.ns a long article on immigration to the United '
States. It poiirays in vivid color- the rapid and un- ,
paralleled increase in the number of those who are
seeking our shores. The Irish emigration is so great |
Mat the court journal classes it among "the phenouo- '
; ena of history." (Fc (Andrew JacKsoii Donels.xi,)

not our intention to discuss this branch ot' the sub

pro-orate, and it will be time enough To commence
Ihe discussion when another attempt is made by tb
federalists to revive the principles ol the alien jaws."
