THE BEDFORD liIZETTE. Kcrffbrtf, July tih 1*37. G, W. Bowman, Editor and Proprietor. What is Ileiiiocraty{ DEMOCRACY represent* the great principles oi progress. It i onward and out ward >ll its movements, ft has a heart for ac tion ami motives for a wmic!. It constitutes the principle of diffusion and is to humanity what i the centrifugal force is to a revolving orb ot a universe. What motion is to them, Demociacy is to principle. It is the soul ot action, it conforms to the providence of God. it has confidence in nan and an abiding reliance in his high uetiiiy. It seeks li e largest liberty, : the greatest god cU. J the surest happiness. It j aims to build up the great interests" ot the many, j to the least detriment of the few. It remem bers the past, without neglecting the present. , It establishes the present, without fearing to j provide for the future. It cares fertile weak, while it permits no injustice to the strong, it conquers the oppressor, ami prepares tin- subject oftvranny for freedom. It melts the bigot's ; heart to meekness, and reconciles his mind to j knowledge. It dispels th<- cloud of ignorance j and superstition, and prepares the people for in- j structiuo and self-respect. It adds wisdom to , legislation, and improved judgment to govern- j meut. It favors enterprise that \ n Ids to many, j and an industry that is permanent. It is ttie pioneer of 'humanity—the conservator oi nations. IT r.uf.S o\*i. V wni:\ : r I TO BE rum: TO ITSELF.

THE TE.IIPEiitM E i)l MSTI(/\. j Cf 'Less than three yeas- ago the opponents ol De- , mocracy could talk of nothing but l'emperaiice and ; : Prohibitory Liquor Law, ! This was their gieat j hobby, their "pet darling." They determined that no j tavern should seli liquor under pain of imprison- ; i men, and heavy line, and that all Distilleries should be closed. This they pledged themselves to do, or ; p-tish in the attempt. Every body who declined to | j take up the fanatical cry was denounced as a "swell j !ia !," "Bloat," "Grog Bruiser," ckc. even though I they had never used liquor as a beverage in their ' 1 lives. Even alter the Freemen of Bedford county, j bv a majority of 1109 vote-, decided against a Pro hibitory Law , I'R. JORDAN, tue Abolition leader oi this county, carried the famous or rather inlamous JUG I.AW through the Senate by his own vote—; had he voted against it the odious measure would i have been defeated. This is the law under which ; YAL. STUCK MAN, an honest, upright, and temper- , ate man, was snt to prison, as were many other ; good men all over the State. Although the people • of the commonwealth, by a fair and legitimate tnajo- j j nty. decided against the passage of such a law, ! the K. X. Legislature of 1854 FORCED the Monster j through and POLLOCK approved it! But what now ido we behold .' The "Milton fanner" a Know No | thing Filrnore paper of the "id in-t. tells us that • jrfv" •' WILMOT, the abolition candidate for Gover ■ nor, has been in Philadelphia for so ne weeks, spen ; ding most o( his time in the RUM Mills and Lager j Beer Saloons," and asks, in continuation—"W hat are we to think of a candidate for Governor thus mak ing a public exhibition of him,elf, and thus setting the worst example to his fellow-citizens. Whiskey drinking and beer swilling are bad enough iri all con-cience, but the public habits of such a man as- WILMOT are tefftble in their consequences. We ' begin to think there some truth in the report that Wilmot is to be withdrawn from the course, and his place supplied by some steady person who will not thus shock the moral sense of the community." These are the declarations of a I'iltnore organ, re- ! published and endorsed by the Philadelphia New,, a nother paper bitterly hostile to the Democratic par j ty. The loudest mouthed brawling advocates of po litical Temperance in Bedford are now the most ear ne-t advocates of a man who is trying to secute his election as above described ! Every year the oppo sition -tart a fresh humbug, and ask honest men to 1 j vote their ticket to "Save the Country ! " ■iSEs of*.7;sSy, fi N037 ! E7~l.ast Saturday presented such an exhibition oi the IthofJuly as had not been seen in Bedford for the last ten or fifteen years. The day was beauti- ; ful a .id invting; and the general exclamation was— "Where did the people come l'rom?" Old and young, j erase and gay, male and female, seemed to enter in- ! to the spirit oi' the occasion with a degree of ii.teres! such a- we have seldom w itne- ed. The Military, with their elegant mart.al rnusie, nresented a fine and soldier-like appearance, and were the "observed oi ail observers.'' The "Bed lord Riflemen," ('apt. SAN'SOM, and the Bloody lifiii Blues," Capt. STATUS, were out in their strength, and conducted themselves in such a man ; ner as to secure geneial applause and admiration.— Their appeaiaiice was imposing, tiieir marching re gidar, and their firing such a- was to have been ex pected from young gentlemen so well skilled in the use of arms. At II o'clock, A. M. the streets were crowded ;i5 to be almost impassable, when the whole proceed ed to the beautiful grove of Mr. SAML. DKFI BAUGIJ, near town, where an organization was ef fected by calling Capt. STATUS to the Chai£, and appointing Capt. SANSO.M Nice President, and Lieut. LYONS secretary. The "Orders of ihe Day" were announced by O. K. SHAN VON, w hen Mnj. EVANS, brigade In | spector, brietly addressed the military. | The Declaration of Independence was then read ;by Mr. Wu. F. JOBM, in a clear and distinct voice, ! when JOJN 11. FII.I.EE, Esq. was introduced to the ' audience and delivered an eloquent and very appro priate Address, which wa, enthusiastically applaud ! ed. The oration would lead well, and, had we been furnished with a copy, it would have afforded us j pleasure to give it a place in the columns of the Ga ■ zette. We like to acknowledge MERIT, whether it ■ emanates ruin Democrats, or those who stand politi • eally opjiosed to 11-. The dinner served up by Mrs. Coon, of the Wash ington Hotel, was certainly one of the very best we ever set down to in the woods. Kvery thing was in abundance, and cooked in superior style. Beets, I'ea . i'> (infiii I• 1 rs, and Potato- the growth | ol the pre.-ent season, decorated the table in rich pro fusion. Pile cake was the object of especial coitl : mentation, and elicited much praise for Miss TILLA COOK, the young lady who made and baked it. Dinner over, the crowd, preceded by the military, took up the line ol march, and proceeded to Ihe Bediord Springs, where they were entertained as the guests o: Col. Gossi.nn, President of the Company, who, by the way, is a general favorite in this com munity, especially with the ladies. In the evening, the military and citizens returned, headed by the elegant Brass Band engaged for the season at the Springs, which added greatly to the g-neral interest. Alter passing through the seveial streets, the Band halted and discour-ed some of their ! finest music from the balcony of the Washington Hotel, during wl. ch the FIRE COMPANY paraded, ! making a rich and beautiful display, to the evident ■ delight of the people. Taken all together, the enjoyments oi last Satur day were such as will long be remembered with pleasure by those who participated in the glorious I st val. To the honor of the town be it spoken that not a drunken or riotous man vvas seen upon the streets; and, at a:i early hour, all returned to their homes, except a party of the young, who concluded to wind up with a cotillion.

SHAN NON, Esq., the accomplished Superintendant, held their annual celebration in "Defibaugh's Grove"' on last Friday, and, when we say the affair came off' in admirable style, and to the satisfaction of ail, we only give utterance to the general opinion of the large concourse itt attendance, Rev. Mr. Kunkel mnn, of SchelJsbnrg, delivered an eloquent arid ap propriute address on the occasion, and several inter esting speecbea were made in the presentation and reception of llarniers. The entertainment was No. 1 in every seii-e of the word, and was the subject of much praise. The children made a fine appear ance in procession, and numbered about 150. Ol'lt GLORIOUS COUNTRY* rr?~ Thousands and tens of thousands of I'atriotic Orations and Sermons have been delivered within the pa-l few days, throughout this land and Nation, all tending to show that we are the greatest, most prosperous, and mo.-l happy people upon the lace ol the earth—that we have everything that heart could desire—and that we are a terror to evil doers thro'- out the world. This admitted on all hands, let us in quire to whom we are indebted for the wholesome laws which are the basis of this unparalleled pros perity, and the answer is—"TO THE DEMOCRAT IC PARTY." And yet, notwithstanding we are surrounded on ail sides with the richest political blessings of which the mind is capable of conceiv ing, the enemies of Democracy, from the organiza tion of the Government down to the present moment, have annually been endeavoring to create the un pressiou that we were on the verge of Bankruptcy and ruin I Shame ! Shame I ! "NOT INTERESTING." rry The game of Brag is being played high just now by our opponents, especially a> to their candi dates for Protlionotary and Treasurer. They pre tend to think they will beat Messrs. Tarn and DAVIS so far as to divest the'election of all .nterest! We hope they will keep cool, and they will find the con tort about as interesting as they could desire—quite enough so to leave them iri a minority of from three to five hundred votes alter the '2d Tuesday of Octo ber. Whil.-t we do not pretend to deny that a i'ew* Derr.ocrats feel a little sore because they did no! re ceive the men ol their choice, yet we say unhesita tingly, that the Democratic patty ol the county wu* never more firm and determined than it is at this -time—and all the voles that Messrs. Ai.su and Os tr.i: get out of our ranks they can safely put m their eve I Now that these gentlemen are the represen tatives of an amalgamated opposition, who proclaim upon all their Banners—"ANY THING OR ANY BODY TO BEAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY," it is presumption of tie* most absurd character lor them to suppose that they can receive Democratic votes. 'They will vote for no man upon our Ticket and why should we vote lor any man upon their Ticket ! We would like to know what Democrat either of these gentlemen ever voted for ! HT?

From intelligence brought by the las! Euro pean steamer it apj ears the weather in England has ben delightful lor srme time pas!. The crops are described as looking splendid beneath I a brilliant >un, and through the whole of the agricultural wot Id there is a cheerful promise of an abundant harvest. People ate leaving London, Liverpool and Manchester for the country. Excursion steamers go to Ireland, Sci tland, France, Hulland and Germany, and the railways take crowds to all sorts of pleasant places. A joyous company recently started for Bordeaux, and there is even talk of an exclu sion steamer to Canada and the United Stales.— And why not? Americans flock in such | crowds to England that it is hut fair for En glishmen to reciprocate their curiosity and lib erality. Ihe vine and silk crops in France ate coming out large and healthy, having almost en tirely recovered from lite diseases which have | sorely afflicted them during the past two years, i The elections are creating excitement and live j liness in the French empire. That the gov ernment is somewhat troubled at the activity of the republicans is generally believed—their i- I deas of the elective franchise are not deemed by Louts Napoleon as suitable for France, however ; practicable they may he for Belgium. The Pope, Pio Nino's entry into Bologna is the last j incident of his present tour through his domin ions. His holiness was received in a most he- Coming manner by the authorities amidst grand | demonstration and rejoicing. Deputations from the citizens of the province received him in an amphitheatre constructed for the purpose, *vith a triumphal arch half a mile from the gates of Bologna. Cardinals and bishops were plenty, ; mass was celebrated, the miraculous image of St. Luke crowned, and tears drawn liom the eyes of the assembled multitude bv the elo quence of the pope over the impressive cere | mony.

SINGIT.AU EFFECTS or LIGHTNING. —One of our citizens, who was within about one hun dred and fifty feet of the tree on the Common ! struck by lightning last Thurs., found his watch did not go as usual after that time. Without ! suspecting the cause of the difficulty, he took his watch to Mr. Bond, ami, upon examination, it i was found the steel balance wheel was so char ' ged with magnetism that it was rendered useless, i The blades of his pock, t-knife were also highly 1 charged fay magnetism from the electric tluid.— i ; Similar effects have sometimes been produced on board vessels struck by lightning, but they are not of frequent occurrence on land.— Hus ton Traveller. TB3E2 WASBIIXOTGX BSSOTS. Tlsesf A golo£ists. We commend to the attention of our readers the following well written article from a late number of the Nashville (Tennessee) IHi inn, on | the fate riots in this city. The factsof tin* case are clearly stated, and within a lew davs have been established to the entite satisfaction of an ! 1 intelligent and impartial jury. The concluding i ! counsels of our Nashville co-tempnrarv are well j | timed, and will have their full weight with all who are not wilfully blind to the folly, madness and blood-thirsty intolerance ol Know-Notliing | ism: "After all that we have seen and heard of the foul spirit ol know-nothingism, we were not prepared to see know-nothing editors in Georgia, attempt to palliate, much less to justify, ; the conduct of their party in their mad attempt to carry the election in the city of Washington bv means of hands of imported ruffians from ; Baltimore. But it would seem as if the oaths j and obligations which a man takes when lie. en ters into a know-nothing lodge, or the associa ' tions and habits which he there forms, change j ins whole nature, for upon w hat other principle j can we account for the scenes that have been enacted in the election i-i■t < in Louisville, .New Orleans, Baltimore, and Washington city ? It is in vain for them to attempt to charge the riots upon our naturalized citizens. In each and ev eryone of these disgraceful scenes large nnm-' | hers of peaceable naturalized citizens were kept from the polls !>v bands of know-nothing row ! dies. In the late election in Washington citv, a large importation of plug-uglies and lip-raps: : was made from Baltimore. These are two no- ; ted know-nothing clubs which have, on several I occasions, made the streets of Baltimore to run 1 with blood, and enabled theirparty to carry e- j lections in that citv by brute force. Bands of: ; these notorious villains were brought to Wash ington citv on tlie morning of the election.— : The National Intelligencer, a paper which has heretofore been favorable to that parly, s.i\> that their passage on the railroad was paid, and they were fed whilst in Washington by the citi cens of that place. All of the Washington pa j pen; hear testimony to their savage deeds. As, s on as they arrived thev j lined the know-notli j ing rowdies of Washington: were conducted j from place to place by them, and did their bid ding. They drove the Democracy from tin* ballot-box, and in one precinct caused the in-1 spectors to close the polls. We have tiie au thority of those who were eye-w itm *s< s that <iu- . rim: all tin* time thev wo re i ioting in tiie streets, i and although tlv-v had killed and wounded near , ly twenty of the inhabitants,, riot one know -no thing att■ri{ted to check them in tlm least, when it is believed that some of the leaders of that party could have conlroled them with a Word: but, so lar from doing this, they > ncour aged and urg-d tlmm on, condemned and insult ed tiie city authorities lor calling out the milita ry to stop them in their favorite amusement of i killing and wounding peaceable citiz-ns: and ! after the riot was quelled the leaders of th* know-nothings held an indignation meeting an I 1 denounce] the mayor 1-r calling< ut ti. * milita ry ant! potting a stop to the plog-ugii-s and Wa dngt >ti know-nothings.

"The Louisville Journal chimes in and vol unteers a defence for it-- Baltimore associates.— , While we have no astonishment to express at tiie course ol tile Baltimore and Louisville puss, we are free to admit that we were unprepared to find newspapers in Tennessee, ev. n of that party, disposed to tall into the same channel.— i A recent number ol the .Memphis Eagle and Enquirer, tiie know-nothing organ ofti at city, heads an article on this subject with tiie fallow ing caption, displayed in large letters: *! lie . Washington Tragedy ! Bloody Woik of toe i Administration!!— Disarming of an American Company i ! ! —The Irish Retain their Arms: .. —The Americans Vindicated !' that pap<i then proceeds to charge the Democratic J■ >:jr nabs of Washington and tie* National Intelli gencer with having distorted the tacts, fur the ■ purpose ol making party capital. I his is the first time we have ev r heard the National In telligi nr.er charged with seeking to make capi tal for tiie Democratic party. There is no pa ' per in tie- country that we should not sooner expect to find allied with the democracy; but, '< if ever tiie venerable editor of that paper should i take such a position, we are sure he will not , manufacture a slander of the party with whom lie has acted as a pretext lor his desertion. Po- . liticallv, there are hut few papers in this coun try with whom we differ more widely, yet we have never hesitated to accoid to it integrity of i the highest order, and we i-el satisfied that eve ! rv attempt to escape the odium ol this disgrace- I ful riot by identifying that paper with the De- , , mocracy will but strengthen the public judg- I ment of their guilt. "The administration is assailed because the : President, wften called upon by the mayor for I assistance from the government troops to aid in I quelling the rioters, referred the matter to the ■ Secretary ol \\ ar, who ordered out a company !oi Marines. They think the President hud no right to bring the strong arm of government to lu-ar in putting down a hand of men who, in ut- I ter disregard of law and social order, were war ' ring upon tile rights of the citizens, sacrificing lives, and endangering th** property ol ad. He beg to differ with them. Tiie administration i had the authority, and would have been guilty I of the most culpable neglect, had it refused to I interfere and protect the people Irom the mob. j The fact that the propriety ol such a course is questioned by know-nothing papers argues a de gree of desperation on their part which speaks more unfavorably of the present condition of so ciety than we were prepared for. "Is it not time for oil sober and well-inten tioned people who may have heretofore acted with that party to begin to themselves,'whi ther are we tending V Ts it not time for all j law-abiding citizens, to whatever party the may j have heretofore belonged, to take a firm and manly stand against this spirit ol plug-uglvism, 'i which is so rapidly diffusing itself throughout i tin* larger cities? W I.at can we anticipate ii n large portion of"our conservative citizenscon i timie to give countenance to such a state of i things by acting with a party that, instead of discountenancing, shows every disposition to I defend these plug-ugly, lip-rap, and blood-tub combinations !

INCREASE OF BANKING CAPITAL IN PENNSYLVANIA. , _ _ It is manifest from the number of appllca : tions advertised, and to be n ade to the imxt L-gislature f>r Bank charters, that thedi.-grace ; ful proceedings which marked the last session I of our State Legislature, are again to be enact-! I ed at Harris' urg next winter, and that Bank I boring and Bank corruption is to b- til * order of tlit* day there, until lb-State is flooded tlir mgh- 1 out with the issues of these ragtr.ills, and gold and silv-r driven entirely from circulation, un less s me power shall intervene to sfav the pro gress of this corrupting influence and check the growth of tli. se paper manuiartories. The in crease of banking capital in Pennsylvania, a bove the requirements of business, is becoming a great evil and is justly exciting alarm. Al ready have these institutions attained a power in the State capable of resisting, and too often successfully, any and all attempts to seeure their better regulation, and to throw around them those restrictions absolutely necessary* to! protect the rights of the people : and this pow er is destined largely to increase unless the ' people of the State interpose their authority, j and through the Legislature and Executive of, ; | tin* State, . rect an effectual barrier to tin* fur ther expansion of paper money issues. It i> not that the Democracy of the State occupy a position of antagonism to the business interests' , either ol the city or of the State, that they are j opposed to this increase of banking capital, but because tli-y have in view the best interests of j business and the true prosperity of all classes of our people, all of which are ciicumscribed and ,i directly infringed by the existing system ofj hank management: while the multiplication of; paper money, !>y cheapening money, ut once , ■ enhances the cost of every article of consump-i f tion, and drives gold and silver from circulation,, f j greatly to the injury of the producing classes.— i ij The Democratic party would regulate Ihe banks j of the State, and restrict their issues so as t . make them conform to the legitimate business requirements for which thev are established In this manner, they would be muie to aid the interests of business, win ; as a majority are al ma t wholly employed in schemes of .specula tion. So generally has this system 0 f specula fion cnrne into vogue, that there scarcely a hanking institution in the State that now con fines itself to what nay be termed legitimate business, Their means are loaned to specula te!- arid note shaver.-, and the ho.-inns man, no .•natter how undoubted his credit, if he reeds one, or five, or twenty thousand d rllars, no lon ger goes to the bank, v\ here lie si; mid receive accommodation, at the rate of six per cent, per . annum, but goes in! tlie "street" and pays for the money, from ! to '2l per cent, j- r mi nth, or 12 to 30 per c it. Pr annum. But aside from this, our hanking system is ; almost wholly an irresponsible one; and the people, wit's nearly fifty millions of paper mon ey in ctrc.il.iti .it among ;h n, are utterly with out security against loss. Many of the Ranks of the State are uaiinuhti-dlv sound and reliable, it with otb rs the hu-ine.-s i_; a "tonfitb rice" game altogether, and no man knows when r,r u re tod'-ok flu- an explosi in. No nan in the State, beyond the i.fikers of the Hanks them selves, knows ought of thie condition of any sin gle Bank. They resisted successfully, Inst win ter, tie efforts of the Legislature to require the ' publication,at stated peri is, of an exhi .it of their eruditions and resource?, and succeeded, bv irwaris of paid agents at Han isburg, and tlm ' lavish use of money in the Legislature, in thwarting every effort ter.rfing to their restric ii in and more wholesome government. TP. i ; - p iv.'tr meantime is steadily increasing: and it ' !■••!.cK)Ves the jii'i.pile, win -e !r.terits are dinct j ly i:n dved, to select il.cir State officers and their representatives with a view to ap plying ;t radical and thorough remedy to Hank expul sion and usurpation.
