THE BEDFORD GAZETTE.
Bedford, Oct. Hi, 1857.
B. F. Mejcrs & G. W. Benford, Editors
Interesting Exhibition.
Specimens of the minerals, fossils, Indian
relics, &.c., of Bedford County, collected by
Slagler & Co., will be exhibited in this place
during Fair Week. The exhibition will be a
very interesting one, and every person feeling
a desire to know someting about the Geology
Mineralogy, as well as Archaeology of this coun
ty, should examine these specimens.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
A number of new advertisements appear in
this number of the Gazette. Blymire and H,r'-
ley advertise all kinds of hard-ware and we
can recommend their stock as excellent in eve
ry particular. —Shoemakers, at their Colonade
Store, are astonishing the wofld, with their dis
play of new goods. —A. B. Cramer &. Co., have
just received their stock of fall goods, and are
ready to supply the public from their counters.
M rs. S. E. Potts has all kinds of fancy goods
to which we invite the special attention of the
ladies.—T. R.Gettys intends taking any quan
tify of Daguerreotypes, &.C., during Fair week.
The Result.
The battle is fought and the gallant Democ
racy have won a glorious triumph in Pennsyl
vana. By telegraph we learn that Gen. Packer
has about 17,000 majority over VVilmot, in Phil
adelphia city and county—in Berks 6,000 —in
Northampton (in 18 districts) 3,000. ft is at
present estimated that Packer will beat VVilmot
from 30.000 to 4-0.000 in the State.
We have delayed our paper in order to give
the returns from Huntingdon and Somerset, but
can onlv sav that the former gives Schell a ma
jority of 137, and the latter, Koontz, about 600.
Schell has 613 majority in this county. David
Hav is elected, and General Burns also, accord
ing* to the latest news.
In our own glorious old county, the Democracy
have covered themselves with honor. Packer's
majority over VVilmot is, officially, 770!
The whole Democratic, county ticket is elected
by majorities ranging from 175 to over 400!
We will give the official returns of each tow n
ship, next week.
THE POINTY FAIR.
On the 21st, 22d and 23d days of the pres
ent month, the Fair of the Bedford County
Agricultural Society, will be held in this place.
That the holding of Agricultural Fairs is gener
ally beneficial to both town and country, is well
understood; but that the one about to be holden
will be more than usually so, if properly con
ducted and liberally encotnaged, is a fact not
to be disputed. The crops have yielded heav
ily and fanners are prosperous. Mechanics
have bad plenty of work during the year and
their trades are in a flourishing state.—
No department of industry among us has
had anv for suffering. Why then
should we not have a good Fair—a tull exhibi-
t ion of our prosperous condition as a community?
Why should we not meet together, compare the
trophies of our labor, one with another, and
have a time of general rejoicing and thanksgiv
ing for our prosperity 1
The Review of Mr. < ir!is* Address <>n
PATRIOTISM.
We publish on our first page an able review
of a recent oration by G. W. Curtis, the well
known author of "Howadji in Syria," 6.c. The
subj-ct of the orator was Patriotism. A theme
like this of course, could not be handled by a
fanatic like Mr. Curtis, without a lachrymose
allusion to negro slavery, the bugbear thai basso
sadly frightened the descendants of the witch
burners of New England. On this point our re
viewer meets Mr. Curtis with a force of argu
ment and a fund of ridicule that must certainly
make t!i v patriotic How adji feel ashamed of his
absurd position. The entire article is full of
sound, common sense, and is written with much
vigor, as well as gracefulness of style. We
have not room to notice the performance elabo
rately, and can onlv recommend it to our readers
as one of a high order of merit. We have heard
it intimated that Mr. James Shrink, son of the
late Gov. Shank, and at present Private Secre
tary to Attorney General Black, is the author.
CLOSING OF THE CAMPAIGS.
A number of large and spirited meetings were
held by the Democrats in several districts, since
our last issue. We have not the space to give
the namesof tfie officers of these meetings, nor
have we, except in one or two cases, been fur
nished with a list of them.
The meetings at CAVENDER'S STOKE and
ROBINSON VILLE, on Saturday the 3d inst.,
were well attended and were ably addressed by
<l. H. Spang, Esq., and Col. Jos. W. Tate.
In SNAKE SPRING tp., on Tuesday Oct.,
cith, a large meeting was held, and was ably and
eloquently addressed by Gen G. W. Bowman.
At the house of Michael VVyant, in Union
township, a large meeting was held on Thurs
day evening the Bth inst. It was addressed by
G. W• Benford, Major S. H. Tate, and Gen.
Bowman. Much enthusiasm pervailed.
On Saturday last there were meetings held
in HOPEWELL tp., and at FETTER'S
SCHOOL HOUSE in Bedford tp. The former
was addressed by Hon. Win. P. Scheli, Hon. Job
Mann, and Dr. C. N. Hickok: the latter by B.
F. Meyers and Gen. Bowman. Both these
meetings were large and full of enthusiasm.—
On the evening ot the same day, the Buchanan
Club held their last meeting for the campaign,
in the Court House. The attendance was very
large. Speeches were made by Gen. Bowman,
B. F. Meyers and Dr. Hickok.
Thp last meeting of the Campaign was a glori
ous Democratic rally at the house ofjno. W.
Scott, Esq., at "The Mills," in Bedford tp. B.
F. Meyers, Gen. Bowman and Dr. Hickok ad
dressed the meeting.
Thus ended the present campaign, and in the
name of the Democratic party, we thank the peo
ple of Bedford county, for their patriotic attend
ance at these meetings and for the respectful
hearing every where extended to Democratic
speakers.
THE GREATEST VICTORY OP THE
TIMES!
Ours Ilie Banner Senatorial Eejs
trict!
JORDAN'S BIG OPPOSITION DISTRICT
SMASHED!
Wm. Y. Schell elected to the Senate!!
Telegraphic despatches from Huntingdon and
Somerset, indicate the election of Schell, the
Democratic candidate lor Senator, bv upwards
of 100 votes! A few years ago, this district
gave an opposition majority of over 3000 and
the Abolitionists claimed the election of (Jen.
Koontz by 1500! Such a triumph has never
been won by any political paity. Huzza for
the conquering Democracy !
official returns of this couutv give
Packer, 2338; VVilmot, 1568; Hazlehursf, 398.
The Democratic majorities for District and
County offices, are as follows; Schell, over
Koontz, 613; Burns over Castner, 353, over
Stewart 377; Hay over Castner, 354-, over
Stewart 378; Tate over Alsip, 292; Fluke over
Beckwith, 403; Davis over Oster ISO; Evans
overS parks, 317; Smouse over Imler 398; Cris
man over Stuckey, 375.
•XF*Mr. Jacob Reed, has .fust receivd his
elegant and well assorted stock of new goods.—
Our friends would do well to start right off'and
give him a call. His counters and shelves are full.
Mr. Nicholas Lyons requests us to state,
that the "Sale of valuable Real Estate" advertis
ed in our columns, is postponed for ttie present.
FATAL AFFRAY.
On Saturday night last, a bloody rencontre
took place between two young men named
Fluke and Dillinger, on their return from sing
ing school, in Liberty township. The former
stabbed the latter to the heart, causing his im
mediate death. Dillinger alleges that Fluke
struck him a blow with his fist, ami that he
then drew his knife upon him in self-defence.
He was committed to the county prison on Sun
day.
RE I) FORD roivrv ERECT;
Now that the Democracy have triumphed in
Bedford County, bv the election of the whole
Democratic Ticket, I wish to say to the old pa
trons of the "Bedford Gazette," that my
B >oks must be closed. And, as I do not wish to
place them in the hands of a Justice for collec
tion, all interested will please give this notice
attention. I will press no one for payment
all I ask is settlement. The' Fair' and the ap
proaching November Court, will afford all an
opportunity to settle, and I confidently expect
they will do so. I will he found at the office of
John P. Reed, E-q. until Court week —at
which time I will be found at the office o!
