The Plotting of the Abolitionists!
THEIR DESPERATE EFFORTS TO Oil
TAIN A MAJORITY IN THE HOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS!!
The bitterness and malignity with which th
opposition to the Democratic party in thiscoun
tv, have pursued HENRY NICODEMLS since hi
left their organization, is cause sufficient to mak
a man blush for human nature. No abuse wa
too vile, no slander too insidious, no trickery
too base, to be brought into requisition by thes,
—in bis persecution. They have made hin
2 target wherp.it to fling incessantly the mud
exhaustloie'r v ol
Abolition slang, in traducing and villifying hi:
trood name. And this they did simply, because
as an honest and conscientious man, he felt it
his duty to cut loose from them, and to return
to the Democratic tanks whence he bad been
hired by the example of men in whom he had
been accustomed to place unlimited confidence,
Like many other good and honest Democrats,
when he saw certain ministers of the Gospel
and men of high moral reputation, going into
the lodges of Know Nothingism, he was also
deluded into joining the midnight Order, but
when he discovered the true nature of the par
ty, when he saw its rotten heart laid bare in all
its hideous defoimity, then it was that likea
true and high-souied man, he severed his con
nexion with it, and amid the threats and de
nunciations ofthose whose quackery be exposed,
re-joined the Democratic party. Ever since
his return to the ranks of Democracy, Esq.
NICODBHOS has been untiring in his labors for
oaf party. He did signal service during fRI
Mast campaign, and it was through his instromen
tality alone, that Hon. John Cessna was ena
bled to expose those men who so peisistenllv
denied their membership of the Secret Order,
and who, at the same time, had taken the hor
rible oath and had never renounced it. Indeed
his aid during the last canvass, was so efficient
that at the general desire of the Democratic
party, he was appointed Clerk to the County
Commissioners. As such he occupies a posi
-rtion which enables him still more successfully to
combat the factions opposed to the Democracy,
he continues to be the subject of Abo
lition Know Nothing scurrility and misrepre
sentation, and, therefore, are the opposition do
ing all in their power to defeat the Democratic
candidate for Commissioner, thinking in that
case, Esq. NICODEMLS would be removed, and an
Abolition Kiujw Nothing Clerk appointed in
his stead ! Hence their game is to endeavor to
prejudice Democrats against Esq. NICODEMLS,
hoping that if they succeed in doing so, Mr.
the Democratic candidate for Commis
sion, will also be rendered odious with such
Democrats, inasmuch as he is one of the Boaid
by whom ESQ. NICODEMLS was appointed Clerk.
These silly tricksters should remember that .Mr,
Evans consented to Esq. NICODEMLS' appoint
inent only because of his excellent qualifications
*~Tor the position, and because of his recommen
dation by many of the best Democrats in the
County. When* they reflect upon this fact,
they will doubtless conclude to try some other
dodge, and give this one up in despair.
As to the charge made by the abolitionists in
theii organ, some weeks ago, concerning "offi
cial misconduct" on the pait otthe Commission
ers and their clerk, it is but necessarr to sav
that ESQ. NICODEMLS chared that matter up to
the satisfaction of every reasonable man, in his
late communication to this p/aper. The Aboli
tion tricksters squirm and wriggle under that
pointed article. They dare not meet his charge
that the Know Nothing Commissioners never
sent the assessment lists out at all. 1 hey are
perfectly mum on that subject. They can only
wonder who will pay one set of assessors.-
Well, E.SQ. NICODEMUS PLEDGES HIMSELF, AND
WILL GIVE THE lIEST OF SECURITY, TO PAY ALL UN"
NECESSARY EXPENSES SHOULD ANY BE INCURRED
BY THE COUNTY THROUGH HIS CONDUCT IN SEND
ING OUT THE ASSESSMENT LISTS. This, he has
authorized us to announce to the public, and he
has further authorized us to stale that A CER
TAIN KNOW NOTHING COUNTY TREA
SURER has been, for two years, a delinquent
to the County, according to his ou-n acknowl
edgment. This "beautiful" (to quote the very
sarcastic epithet of the Abolitionists) officer
when ashed how it came that he had not paid
over the residue in his hands, said, he did
not know where to pay it! Now, Messrs. 11 ick
sters, suppose you clear up this "beautiful af
fair, before you again try to prejudice Demo
crats against Cadwalader Evans with your cun
ningly contrived falsities.
VOTERS OF BEDFORD COINTV,
REMEMIIBR ! That on the second Tuesday of
October next, you will be called upon to decide
whether VVM. F. PACKER, the nominee of
the .National Democratic Party, the representa
tive of the popular will of the Nation as ex
pressed by the people at the late Presidential
Election, shall be Governor of Pennsylvania, or
whether DAVID VVILMOT, or ISAAC
HAZLEHCRST, the former being the stand
ard bearer of Abolitionism and bastardized
Know Nothingism, and the latter the embodi
ment of pure Know Nothingism, shall be eleva
ted to the highest otlice in the gift of the peo
ple of our State.
REMEMBER ! That you will BE called upon to
vote i'or Judges of tile Supreme Couit, and that
you must choose between the Democratic candi
! dates who are able lawyers and experienced men
(one of them having been long a judge n| the
i court of Common Pleas and both having been
members of the law making bodies of our state
: and of the nation) and their opponents who have
• had but comparatively limited experience, some
! of them having never been beard of outside of
j their own immediate neighborhood, before their
i nomination. Likewise, in this connection,
REMEMBER! That it was the decision of the
Supreme Court (all of the Judges except one be
; ing Democrats) that last Winter saved the peo
ple of this Commonwealth from being sacrificed
lo the interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and from being made to pay the taxes
I now so justly imposed upon that Company.
' REMEMBER! That a Canal Commissioner.is
.to be chosen at the coming election, and that
vour choice must be made between HONEST
NIMKOD STRICKLAND, the nominee of the De
mocratic party, a man who bears an unspotted
name, and an untarnish?d_cha racfef^ W
of whom has shown himself to be a mere politi
cal weathercock, turning before the breath of
every wind that blows office-ward, thus plainly
exhibiting his greed for the spoils, and the last
' of whom has hitherto been allowed to remain in
I such profound obscurity that the question in
j voluntarily rises to our lips—"who is John F.
! Linderman?" Furthermore, in relation to your
j choice for this office of Canal Commissioner,
REMEMBER ! That it was owing to the vigil,
j ance of a Democratic Canal Itoard that the sub
! ject of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, was brought
j before the Supreme Court, and that to their fi
j dflity and honesty as public officers, the people
of Pennsylvania are indebted for their preserva
! tion from the burden of a largely increased taxa
j tion.
REMEMBER ! That DAVID WJLMOT, is an
j Abolitionist, and that he proved himself to be
such by bis speech at Bedford, on Tuesday eve.
uing, of Court week, when he said that *he
["desired a wider field for free labor, than the
\ present one," as also, when he declared that
j " freedom" and "slavery" have come in direct
contact with each other, and that one is bound to
give t cay to the other.
I REMEMBER! That every man nominate^ori
| the same ticket with Mr. Wilmot and who al
lows his name to he placed under Mr Wilmot's,
represents the doctrines of Abolitionism, he he
a candidate lor Slate, or County offices.
Remember these things, fellow citizens, and
all that we ask of you on next election day, is
to render a fair, candid, honest verdict, given
with these facts well pondered and without
leaving one of them out of your consideration,
when you are making up your minds for whom
to cast your votes.
ROBERT M. TAYLOR, ESQ.
This gentleman, a citizen of "Old Napier,"
was among tire many good men who joined the
"American Order" under the mistaken impres
sion that it was to be a "sovereign remedy for
all the corruptions existing in the old parties"—
but, finding this a mere trick to catch unsuspect
wig men, and then to transfer them to the incen
diary doctrines of ABOLITIONISM, he has
boldly returned to his "first Jove," and he has ;
our hearty welcome. It was a great loss to us |
when ROBERT M. TAYLOR left our ranks, and
we hail his re-union with our party, theiefure,
as no ordinary gain. His manly opposition in •
leaving the amalgamated opposition, merits and :
will receive the praise of every conscientious
man, and will be followed by hundreds of oth-:
eis who occupied the same position that did 1
Mr. Taylor. Me will never regret this act as
long as he lives. When such men as Robert j
M. Taylor abandon the op[>osition ami rally un
der our banner, there need be no fear for the
future of the Democratic party. Mr. Taylor
was an officer of the Democratic Mass Meeting
held in Schellsburg on last Saturday afternoon.
DEMOCRATIC MEETIXGS.
The Democracy of Cumberland Valley
township met in Mass meeting at CKNTREVILLE,
| on Tuesday, September l5l!., and organized by
1 the appointment of James flaney, Esq., Presi
dent: Nicholas Weitz, John Miller, Zaccneus
! Loo man, Henry Heming, and James Elder,
' Esqs., Vice Presidents: and Dr. H. Hudson and
Henry J. Bruner, Esq., Secretaries. Previous
j to the organization of the meeting, the crowd
! collected together in front ot Mr. May's Hotel,
' formed themselves into procession and with the
! flag of Democracy, the glorious banner of our
country, floating above them, and a band of
i maitiai music preceding them, marched to the
; grove adjoining the school h&*e ,j , where they
' were addressed by Maj S. H. '1 ate and C. 1 .
Meyers. The best feeling prevailed and the
I meeting was adjourned by giving three cheers
for the Democratic party and our w hole State
and County Pickets. Pile follow iug resolutions
: were tillered by that old war-horse of Demccra
j cv, James Cessna, Esq., aud were unanimously
1 adopted:
Whereas, the experience of the past lias
tau-'lil lis that the interests of the Common
■ wealth, as well as our own individual safety
and well-being, are often endangered by the
election to otlice of reckless and unworthy net),
j through the negligence and indifference of the
people, therefote be it
Resolved, That we deem it our duly, as pa
: triotic citizens, toexercise the* greatest vigihucu
in casting our voles at Hie coming election, and
! that weshould turn out to the polls, one and all,
to give our voice in favor of the men and meas
ures ttiat as conscientious individuals we believe
Ito he for the benefit of our giorious old Com
monwealth.
Resolved, That in General William IN Pack
| er, Nimrod Strickland, James Thompson and
j William Strong, we recognize the men,and in
! the doctrines of the Democratic, ; arty, the meas
ures, to \t hose success alone we can at present
look for the future security and prosperity of
our State.
Resolved, That the prescriptive, illiberal and
I dangerous doctrines oi Know Nothingism, as
also the fanatical, sectional and reckless tenets
'of Black Republican Abolitionism, merit the
condemnation, ami should meet with the dis
'countenance, of every honest, true-hearted
! Pennsylvanian, and that, therefore, we cannot
and will not, give countenance to any candi
-1 dates, whether for county or State officers, re
presenting either of those isms, but pledge our
selves to labor unceasingly for their defeat.
Resolved, That the efforts made last winter,
in our State Legislature, l>y Know Nothing and
Black Republican Legislators, to give away the
dearly constructed Public Works of the State to
j an overgrown monopoly an I to repeal the justly
imposed Tonnage lax of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, thereby trying to releas •
: that wealthy corporation of its assessments and
to make the people pay more tax instead, meets
i with our unqualified disapprobation, ami that we
1 should, therefore be watchful lest we return men
to the Legislature that will again attempt a simi
lar dangerous proceeding.
IleSQll-ed. JJfat we heartjJ^e.^r^n.. "vfffioUS
county offices, that we will labor earnestly for
their election, and recommend them cordially
to the support of our Democratic brethren
' throughout the county.
It will be seen fr :n foe above resolutions
that Cumberland \ alley, intends doing itself
honor at the coming election. It lias b**en call
led Ihe "little Berks of Bedford county" and we
consider the name appropriately given. All
hail to its gallant Democracy!
A large and very attentive meeting of the
! Democratic citizens of Londonderry township,
was held at PALO ALTO, in that township on
: Wednesday, Sept. 16th, and was called to or
der by the selection of James C. Devore, Esq.,
as President: Christian Albright, John Dicken,
John Comp, and Beiij. Voluntin'e^v-Esqrs., Vice
Presidents, and D. B. Troutman, and Thomas
J. Porter, Secretaries. Able speeches were
then made by Hon. Wni. P. Schell, Gen. 13 >w
riian and Major Tate.
! Much enthusiasm pervaded this meeting.—
The Democrats confident in the righteousness
|of their cause and feeling assured of victo
ry, were in the best of spirits. The honest and
thinking portion of the opposition men who
were present, also felt inclined to believe that
Democratic principles are not so far wrong after
all. The people of Londonderry think for
themselves, and for that reason, if for no oth
er, they will eventually give a heavy and firm
support fo the doctrines of Democracy. Mark
| that prediction 1
j Ihe friends of Packer and Democracy, in
I Harrison township, assembled at the house of
'V. B. W'EIITZ, Esq., on Thursday, Sept. 17th.
l A large crowd was in attendance. The people
j came to the place of meeting, in delegations
' with banners and flags. Jacob Comp, Esq., was
: chosen President; Peter Wertz Jr., John Smith,
G. U. Powell, and Christian Beany, Esqrs.,
Vice Presidents; and John Gibler &. Henry Otto
| Esqrs., Secretaries. The meeting was addressed
ed by Hon. Wm. P. Schell, Gen. Bowman and
Maj. late, in the English language, and by B.
!F. Meyers, in English and German. Major
I Davis, the Democratic candidate for County
J Treasurer, was present and made himself hosts
jot friends. Everything passed of! in fine style
• at this meeting, will give a good ac
j count of itself on the secoud Tuesday of Octo
| ber. %
The Democrats of West Providence township,
met at the school-house in BLOODY RUN, on
Fiiday evening, the lSfh inst., and organized
their meeting by appointing Capt. Wm. States,
President: John Buzzard, George Bauglunan,
John D. Lucas, and Samuel Staily, Esqrs., were
chosen V ice Presidents; and and
Himes O Neal, Secretaries. veere
made by G. H. Spang, Esq., B. F. Meyers and
Major I ate. There was a very respectable crowd
in attendance, and the determined spirit which
the Spartan band of Democrats in West Provi
dence exhibited on this occasion, gives renewed
assurance that a time will come, when that
township will no longer be a stronghold of the"
opposition to the Democratic party.
A very large meeting of the Democrats of
Napier township, and Scliellsburg borough, was
held at SCHELLSBYKG, on Saturday afternoon,
the 19th. The large crowd (numbering accord
ing to the calculation of several gentlemen pres
ent, about three hundred persons,) formed into
precession and with the Stais and Stripes proud
ly unfurled in their van, and with the soul
stiring music of the fife and drum in advance of
them, marched to Judge Suively's barn, where
they were called to order hy J. Henrv Scheil.
Esq., on u IK.'>H motion, John Bowser, Esq., was
chosen President; Michael Hiiieguss, Robert M.
Taylor, Arthur Rose. Richard JVTMullin, John
Sill, Andrew Crisman, Esqrs., Vice Presidents;
and C. VV. Gump and Peter Studebaker, Esqrs.,
Secretaries. Addresses were then made by I?.
F. Meyers and Hon. Wm. P. Scheil. The
greatest good feeling prevailed, and every Demo
cratic sentiment uttered by the speakers elicited
the unbounded applause id the assemblage. It
may be imagined what Napier and Schellsburg
will do at the coming election, when it is known
that Messrs. Jordan and Koontz, according to
the admission of their own partisans, had only
36 persons in attendance, (several of those being
Democrats) at their meeting at this place, two
days previous to our gathering of 300 !

It may be well enough to say tfiat there are
some other names on the above lis - :, that for rea
sons perfectly satisfactory to rnyself ami to the
genilemon whom 1 have consulted, a:e not now
published. Among these was distributed the
sun; ofijciObU. Neither is thistbeonly list which
shows the expenditure of monies JOI a similar
purpose, in the late Presidential canvas-; in this
State. There were other papers be.-idf those on
Gov. Ford's list, that were bought ami paid for,
and those also will !• furnished, with the picols,
when the proper time arrives, unless, in the
meanwhile, they come from another and a differ
ent source.
Whether or not the papers above announced,
actual! v received the amounts speeded, 1 am, ol
course, unable to say. Efai, from the necessity
of the case, trust, for the pi merit, remain a
question ot veracity between them and his Ex
cellency, Gov. Ford. Dot, I doubt not, the peo
ple will regaid it, whatever they may say to the
contrary, as prima facia evidence that they got
the money. Whether they performed the ser
vice required, or not, is another question, and
one with which \ have nothing to do.
How the money was paid, or who were the
instruments used bv Gov. Ford, it is not for me
to say at present, i happen to know, however,
that a large part of the amount passed through th •
hand? of the officer of a banking institution in
Hanisbtirg,and that certain very prominent men
in the State were directly and indirectly con
cerned in the transaction.
fly looking at the name at the head of the list,
it will, perhaps, be readily understood how it
happened that the little packed State Council
which met at Altoona, over which that gentle
man presided, endorced the nomination ol David
VVrlniot, iti violation ol the Constitution and ali
the regulations ol the Order.
1 desire it to be distinctly understood that the
genuine-less of the above list rests not simply
upon the affidavit of Dr. Woodward, which,
however, of itself would be sutiit ient, hut 1 have
other proofs, placing the matter beyond all con
troversy, ready to be presented whenever the
occasion shall require it. I have deemed this
sufficient for my present purpose, and have re
tained other affidavits and correspondence in my
possession for future use.
Jn presenting these facts to tile people of
Pennsylvania, it may be proper for me to say
that 1 have done it in sell-defence. It certainly
affords me no gratification to be the means ol
the injury that these men and their friends must
sustain bv having their venality and corruption
thus exposed. Put by these papers, and others
that were subsidized, the American party, and
those to whom its management was entrusted,
were charged with being "bought. V\ itliout the
slightest evidence to sustain it,.this charge was
repeated and circulated throughout every part
of the State, at the expense of the reputation,
character, and feelings of every man who was
connected with what was known a , the Straight
out' Atr><-itcaii movement. And it was done,
too, by the very men who, us I have demonstra
ted, had sold their own principles and their own
honor tor "the thirty pieces of stiver.'
I now submit the matter t ) the people of the
State without further comment. It is lor them
to sav whether they will continue to support a
political organization that is compelled to resort
to such menus to sustain itsell, and whether they
will hearken to political leaders, who, Arnold
like, betrayed their party and its principles fur
money.
1 am await* that the publication of these iacts
has already called down upon me the vttopefa
iion and abuse ot these papets, and otheis oi a
like kidney, and 1 know lull well tiiat they will
continue to abuse toe. Hutisiiail discharge my
duty to the Committee ol which I am Chairman,
and to which the American Party has entrusted
tile management of the present cam ass, iaithtul
iy, fearlessly, and to the end, regardless ot all
personal considerations, leaving nothing in my
power undone to preserve the integrity ot the
A inerican movement.

foreign holders, i lie Boston Travelei says :
The decline from the highest point is now
over ;> cents a pound, and there is strong proba
bility that the botlom is not yet half reached.
When the decline had reached onlv one-half
the present amount, a few weeks since, the New
iork Independent estimated that on the stock
of So,00') tons of sugar and four milioti gallons
of molasses, held in that port alone, the i■ -s was
then fully three and a half millions dollars.
Ol course it must be double that now, and if
this loss is made on that stored in New Yotk
alone, what must it be on that vast quantity
afloat, in -tore 1(1 Europe and in the United
States, and the stocks on hand in the sugar ex
porting countries. It cannot be less then fifty
millions of dollars already, and as the tendency
is steadily downward, it will probably reach a
hundred millions before the dealers will be able
to touch tiie iu xt crop.
The BuliaJo Commercial says a man named
Pelo attempted to murder his wile last Saturday
on Grand island. On passing through a piece
ol woods, l'elo knocked her down and cut her
throat, lie fled, supposing that she was kill
ed, hut the uulortunate woman recovered suffi
ciently to reach her friends, with whom she
now lies in a critical condition. Pelo is not yet
arrested.
Mr. Joshua Holmes, of West Stafford, Conn.,
lias been made the victim of their arts ! v a nair
of gipseys, fo the tune of §l,OOO in cash. Mr.
Hoi uies is a man about GO years of age, the own
er ofa small farm on which he has thought there
were undiscovered gold or silver mines located.
The gipseys made good their escape with the
money.
We see it stated that a wealthy capitalist of
Boston loaned last week $lOO,OOO to a manu
facturing corporation at fifteen per cent., and
$lOO,OOO to the City of Boston at ten per cent.,
and still left his bank account good lor $lOO,OOO.
