BEDFORD BOROUGH! !
GLORIOFS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY!
RyLast Friday was an exciting day in Ikd
ford: as much so as though it had been a gener
al election. The amalgamated opposition were
determined to "redeem" the Borough, and
hence they put into operation every stratagem,
trick, and falsehood for which they have, of
late, become such peculiar adepts. They put J
upon the course what they boasted was the best j
ticket that could be scared up in town —and j
with the deliberate and dirty lie emblazoned j
upon their banner that the democratic camli- j
dates, if successful, intended to bring the water
from Tod's spring, at a cost ot four or five
thousand dollars, they put their shoulders to the
wheel and implored lor support, confident ol
success. But they counted their chickens be
fore they were hatched 1 When the polls j
closed, and the vote was counted, it turned out
that the entire democratic Ticket was elected
by a triumphant majority, although we had
more absentees than they had. About forty j
persons, either through design or ignorance. ;
had not been assessed, and although ready and
willing to pay their tax, were denied the right
to vote at one of the windows. Oi the number
thus unrighteously rejected, a majority of eleven
were Democrats ! —yet notwithstanding we car- j
ried every man even at that poll, except the ;
high constable, which, being a tie, will be set
tled by the Court. Once more, therefore, has ;
our noble old party covered itself with victory
and honor. The democracy have become tired ,
of voting for their political enemies from per
sonal regards, so that no man need hereafter
try to dodge into our ranks for votes, unless he :
makes a clean breast and adopts our principles ;
in full.
The Township did equally we!!, giving a de
mocratic majority of 50 foi the Justices, which
was the test vote, our opponents running two of j
the strongest men in their ranks. The COT X- j
TY seems to have gone the same way through- !
out, so that our Two-edged foes have a slight j
foretaste of what they may expect on Ihe se
cond Tuesday of October next —no matter who j
may be their candidates.
As we stated last week, our opponents had
upon their ticket the gentlemen who LED the
"Republican" movement in this county, and, as j
the entire opposition vote polled, was cast for
them, all who act with that party hereafter, j
hind themselves to the car of Abolition Sec
tionalism 1 There-was, we believe, but a single .
member of the American party in the Borough i
who bom.rablv t aintained bis :nt gntv by ie
... ' ,
ciining to vote the amalgamated iicaet. — t
Numbers who boastingly protested that they
would take of-a right band rather than know
ingly vote for a "Republican" for any office,
walked up like sheep to the slaughter, and.
without a why or a wherefore, swallowed the
dose, thus exhibiting a disregard for their vo- j
luntary pledges which would put a heathen
community to the blush.
The following is the vote in the Borough.
We will give the result of the county in our j
next issue :

sorts, in italics. The opposition made d sper-'
ate efforts with the view of giving effect to the j
approaching campaign, but the result prows j
that Old Bedford county is again reliably and 1
largely democratic.
K7* Mr. BI <-HASAN is progressing very smoothly
with his appointments, exhibiting, :n Ins selections,
| the wis iom and prudence always attributed to him
by his friends. Possessing a cool determination, and
a desire only to do right, he is not annoyed by the
immense concourse of visitors daily railing upon him
either to pay their respects or to solicit appointments.
His treatment to nil is characterized by that courte
isy and kind demeanor which has always governed j
- his conduct, wbdther in public or private life. Of j
course many will be disappointed, but this will not j
be the President's fault, but rather the fault of that
i policy which only allows one man to till a specified j
| trust!
SUPREME JUDGE.
XT' Candidates for Supreme Judge ate be
coming very numerous, and it is now evident
that a majority of the counties of the Com- >
I monweaitb wiil present one of their own sous j
1 tor nomination. Under these circumstances,
it is difficult to predict as to who will be the suc
cessful man. The Convention, however, with j
Hie material before them, can scarcely make a
j mistake. We perceive, with pleasure, that
IV?.I. A. STOKES, ESQ. <T Westmoreland,
.is favorably spoken of in tins connection, and
we can conscientiously endorse all that is said
!of him l-y hi- warmest friends. Heisaße
j mocrat from principle—a man whose talent*
j and professional -skill place him in the front
j rank of Law yers—and, should he obtain the!
, nominal ion, he wiil receive the undivided and
j enthusiastic support of the Democracy of the ;
State.—Mr. Stokes was one of the especial fa
vorites of the lamented Srir.\x, and we know of
no men for whom we would rather vote. Al
though residing in an impure political atmos
phere, he stands before the world a democrat of
unimpeachable integrity, and deserves to be
treated accordingly. His political speeches,
j during the late exciting campaign, prove him j
one of the Lest posted politicians in the State, j
j WV ate induced To make this statement as a
simple act of justice to a good man.

ANOTHER VvARATYC.
Within th" past few weeks we hove spoken
frequently of the dangers of a:i indiscriminate!
and too rapid increase of Banks, and of ttie ap
prehension we felt lest our present Legislators,
should be seduced horn their fidelity to the in- j
terests of the Commonwealth, and be induced to j
grant charters to many of those now clamoring :
for more extensive franchises. As to illustrate:
the ruin we have pointed to as the consequence |
of such legislation, and to confirm all we have |
said of the true poiicv of our government in this
respect, and to add a most potential voice to the
warning already shouted, we have to record the
failure of the New Castle Bank, and the const- ;
quent fraud, swindling and distress,
This was one of the institutions that were
warmed into life bv the Know Nothing party.
It was not called fur by the necessities of trade.
But the speculators asked and received the
broan seal of State to a privilege of wholesale
imposition. There not being sufficient lejiti
rr.ute banking business to occupy the funds and
pav hands me dividends, the managers iri tiieir
eager avarice rushed into reckless operation*,
and of course the concern was soon bankrupt,
an-l those who trusted it may knock at the dlors
to have the notes redeemed in vain. Sejing
the crash that was about to come, the Oasfjier,
unwilling to remain and feel the just indigna
tion of the deluded patrons —sized upon allthe
specie and decamped.
And bv the wav of Parenthesis, we may re
mark that the Cashier is one John VVagonseler,
brother of the creature with the Cainjron ;
brand. During the contest for the U. S. Sna
tor the Cashier was iu_Harrisbarg working-for
tl;e election of Simon. Whether a part ofthe :
depletion of that .New Castle Bank can beac
courrted for in the result of that election,we
can't sav. But we are well satisfied the Ifrd
dletown Bank could not stand a strict invfeti- ;
gafion. However here is a brace of beautis—
the two Wagonsefb rs—one got rich bv sefing
himself, tfie other by selling the Bank andthe
holders of its notes.
Will our legislators listen to this voici of
warning, and stay a mawpmt for cairn r-f!ecjon
ere thev send nut tluougii the State a swan of
similar companies with license for swindlig. 7
Where are those who last winter flood ike
faithful ser<tinds on the watch towers, and rue
to the principles of Democracy, called out he
dangers when thev saw the arinv of Bankip
plicants appioaching. Have they 1 en sun to
sleep by a syren song? Last winter PetetA.

Bank is dt-sir. d in I'niontown, he will hesite
manfully and strenuously to oppose those tot
needed ? There are other democratic memhs
who are equally neglectful of their duty, ;ut
we refer to Mr. Johns because he is from be
wo{. and was known to be decided in his n- ,
position to banks, and because he is a gent Dim

ARRIVAL OF GOV. GEARY.
; Contradiction of the Statement of the AJisaourl
Democrat.
Gov. Geary of Kansas arrived from the west,
; fast evening, accompanied by his private Secre-J
tary Dr. J. H. (.Bbon, and took quarters at the
St. Charles Hotel. He purposes leaving lbr v
Washington city i.y this morning's train. A,
laige number of old acquaintances and other clt-i:
izens, called upon him dining the evening. He
.is somewhat reduced-in flesh by care and expo-;
ure in the performance of his arduous duties im
' Kansas, and is now suffering from a severe cohij
which renders it difficult for him to converse toj
any extent.
In reference to the telegraphic despatch pub-:
lisle ,| all over the country a couple of days since,.
, purporting to give his reason for resigning, Gov.
G.-ary authorizes v.-j to pronounce it an unau
thorized sta!en "nt, abounding in gross misrep
resentations. The article in the Missouri Dem
ocrat on which the despatch was based, he says,
i contains statements never made bv him, though
the editor assumes to sp. ak l v his authority.
He referred us to his tareweil address to* the
| people of Kansas, which he furnished us: a copv,
' as contradicting directly (hpassertion in (he ed

| History or the Ored Mcoft lasc.
I Tt is due to the public that we remove the
i impression sought to made by political agita
| t s . that this case was got up and pnshd to a
i final conclusion in th Supreme Court, hv the
. friends ol the present administration, as a paitv
j movement,-or otherwise. Go the contrary it
j has been done solely hy tliose who complain of
the result. Ihe suit was instituted and* pros, cn
• ted by them : hut whether lor political effect,
or with the hope of securing a different conclu
sion, we shall not attempt to determine. The
true history of the case is this:
Scott instituted a suit in the Ciicuit Cot:'? of
Missouri to obtain a discharge from servitude
i for himself ami family. On the trial it was
: proved that he had been originally a slave in
Missouri; that his roister fir t took him to the
military post at Rock Island, i:i Illinois, and,
subsequently, to Fnrt Spelling, m Minnesota,
at a point north of the Missouri-Compromise
line, and that he and his family subsequently
returned with him to Mis-.oui i. It was conten-
I ded m his behalf, that inasmuch as his owner
bad voluntarily taken him to : faces wl re sla
very did not exist bv > iw. both he and his i<im
i uv became free, and remained so alter return
ing to a slave holding Slate. The Circuit Court
decided ;n his favor. On appeal to ib-> Su
: pre me C urt of the Stat •. that tribunal held that
lie and fos family, on r> turning to the Stale,
j continued slaves. Petxveen the annunciation
j of the opinion of the Court and (lie filing of its
! mandate in the Circuit Court, Scoff voluntarily
dismissed his suit in the State Court, thus eva
ding i: e decision against him • and thereupon
instituted another in the Circuit Court of the
1 nited States. In this Court the que-'i n f ju
risdiction depended upon his being a citizen of
.Missouri, and the defendant a citizen of another
State. If the Couf! should he of opinion that
he was a citizen, then he claimed that he v. a •
iree, because his owner had taken him to Illi
nois, and also to a part of (be Locum ma territo
ry notth of the Compromise line. The Circuit
Court rendered final judgment against I irr-*. and
thereup irt he appealed to the Supreme (Vort .fi
