THEIT IN "ERAKTCAXDIDATE."'
Mn. Edwakd McPherson, who is at present
asking the people of this Congressional District
to lend him to Congress, is pre-eminently enti
tled to the sobriquet of the "Itinerant Candi
date." He has been a kind of political pedlar,
offering hit wares to the public wherever he
supposed they would meet with a ready sale.
Now we find him in Pittsburg, publishing ti
rades against the Catholics, and anon he is in
Marrisburg, a pecny-a-liner in a small way,
doing up the ''Harrisburg Correspondence" for
some city newspaper. Presto! he is translated
to Adams county, and io ! he is made the Ab
olition nominee for Congress in the 17th Dis
trict. The question, therefore, is whether this
"itinerant Candidate" is a citix-n of the Dis
hict I Is he not aa much a Pittsburger, or a
Harrisburger, as he i* a resident of Adams coun
ty I }s he not a mere roving adventurer with
out "a local habitation, or a name," pitching
his tent wherever he expects to find office, or
emolument, and caring not a straw whether
it b* in the East, or the West, the North, or
the South, so that it brings him a mercenary re

THE DEMOCRATIC COIN TV TICKET-
A better ticket than that presented to the vo
ter* of Bedford County, by the late Democratic
County Convention, ha* never been nominated.
JACOB BECKLEY, of St. Clair,
for Commissioner, i* a man of iter ling integrity,
a fir at rate business man, ami a good citixen.—
H opponent, GIDEON D. TROUT, i* not to be
compared with him in point of ability. Mr.
Trout ha bad financier, a poor manager, as is
proved by hi* heavy indebtedness A man
who cannot keep his own afia+rs in order, espe
cially with the opportunities that Mr. Trout
ba* had, would make a very unreliable agent
for the people. The County needs just such a
man as Jacob Beckley to help it out of debt*
JOHN AMOS, of Bedford tp.,
n well known to our readers a< a man of good,
strong, common *ne and a* a Democrat who
baa never flinched. He is the very man for
Poor House Director.
CAPT. JOHN LONG, of Liberty,
for Coroner, has long been known as one of the
worthiest citizens of our county. He is a man
lor whom the people can vote without ever re
gretting that thry cast their suffrages in his
fcvor.
JAMES C. DEVORE, of Londonderry,
comes frein tbeold Devore stock, which has al
ways maintained a high character for its intel
ligence, probity and irreproachable citizenship.
Mr. Devore r foe Auditor, should receive the sap
port of every citizen of Bedford county who
desires so honest and intellqgasit officer in the
of Auditors

The glorious cause for which many of
you have battled a life time, is in

MANNER OF VOTING.
Our friends will please bear in mind that the
ticket for Supreme Judge must be cut f>3 from
the balance of the ticket and folded separately.
This donp, the remainder of the ticket, with
Canal Commissioner at the head, is folded an ;
the two slips may then he tied together and
tnis presented to the officer at the window.—
Don't forget to vote lor Supreme Judge, as it is
important in the highest degree that th
Democratic candidate should be elected.

VOTE THE YVHOLE TICKET !
Let no man who votes the Democratic Tick
et because he believes the principles of his par
ty to be correct, scratch a single name when he
goes to vote. It you vote the whole ticket-, you
vote on principle. If you vote only a part,
you vote mtrely for men. Remember, that
by omitting a part of the ticket, or bv voting
for some of the Opposition candidates, you
strike at the very doctrines you love and cher
ish. Vote the whole Democratic ticket and
you will never regret it.
DEMOCRATIC TRIIMPHS.
At the late election in Wilmington, Dela
ware, the Democrats were victorious. This is
the first time for many years, that Wilmington
gave a Democratic majority.
At an election held in the city of New Ha- j
ven, Conn., a few days ago, the Democracy :
were successful.
In Maine, the Democrats hare done nobly, j
The Republicans have lost some 10,000 on their
vote of last year, whilst the Democracy have
eained some 3,000. It is believed that two
Democrats have been elected to Congress.
The entire Maine delegation in the present
Congress, is "Republican.''
MR. MCPHERSON AT HOME.
W* are reliably informed that Mr. McPher
ion, the Abolition candidate for Congress in
this district, will fall greatly behind the re
mainder of the Opposition ticket in his own
count)' (Adams). His bitter and malignant
proscription of the Catholics, in his speeches
and writings, will drive hundreds ol votes from
him and his having been one of the scullions in
Wilmol't kitchen, will cause many more who
onee were Whigs to oppose him. This is as it
should be. The man who denies to his brother
that freedom of conscience which the Constitu
tion guarantees to every citizen, would be a
tyrant if he had the power to tyrannise, and tie
who assisted in breaking up the Whig party, as
did Mr. McPhersoo,-ca-n have no claims ujion
the sympathy of any members of that once
honorable, though now defunct, organization.

THE "SOMERSET HERALD AND WHIG"
In the Gazette of week before last, we prin
ted an editorial in which we proved to a
demonstration that the party calling itself "Re
publican,"'or the "People's Party," is nothing
more nor less than a party of Abolitionists. —
Our article was void of all personality and re
ferred to the Somerset Herald and Whig merely
as a journal that had committed itself to the
doctrines ot Abolitionism. That sheet, in its issue
of last week, instead of replying to u> in the
same spirit in which we addressed oursell to
its editors, makes use of the vilest ribaldry in
attempting to respond to our article. Such
dang terms as "nigger," "beef-heels," -'hang
dog," s_c.. Acc., are freely and abundantly
showered upon us. All this is, no doubt, very
argumentative ; on- thing is certain —it argues
the uriter anything else hut a gentleman.—
Besides the billingsgate of the lleratd and IVhig,
about one hall of its article is a wholesale false
hood. We never made ar.y selections for that
paper,and last of all would we have published
the burlesque entitled "A suitable Democratic
Platform." In regard to the editorial which we
are charged with having \v ritten, the following
which we addressed to the Senior Editor of the
Herald and Whig, when in Somerset some days
ago, will afford a sufficient answer :

Allow me to thank you
for the very flattering notice you are pleased to
take of me in your issue of this week. Your
manliness in asking me to write you an editori
al embodying your opinions and afterwards try
ing to palm it upon the public as getting forth
my own sentiments, is exceedingly praisewor
thy ; and when I reflect upon it, I cannot re

of your honor a# a man and your fair a ess as an

This i> aIS we cau have to say in reply to the
Somerset Herald and Whig. The motiveofthe
Editor of that sheet in attacking us personally,
as he has done, is well understood here, and
when we inform our readers that that Editor is
the same Scull whom his own brother-in-law,
the lamented A. J. Ogle, once threatened to
cowhide and would have done so had not other
parties interfered, they will be able to form
some opinion of the man who wrote the article

THE DEMOCRACY RALLYING!!
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETINGS J! J
Pursuant to previous notice, the Democracy
! of Broad Top township assembled at Hopewell,
on I'hursclay the 23d ult., arul organized their
meeting by the appointment of THOMAS VV. HOB
TON, Esq., President : Ed. Pearson, Michael
Fluck, Richaid LangJon and Michael Griffith,
Esqs., as Vice Presidents, and Jeremiah Thomp
son and John Nelson, Secretaries. Speeches
were then made by MESSRS. CESSNA, SENELL
and 1 ATE, who were listened to with profound
attention and interrupted hv frequent plaudits
from the audience. The Broad Top Democra
cy are sound to the core and understand per
fectly the efforts of Opposition demagogues to
humbug them 011 the Tariff" question. They are
too intelligent a body of men to allow themselves
to be misled by the hypocrisy of the supporters
of I REE TRADE READ and that other Wil
mot-low-Tariff man, Edward McPhtrson.
AT P.AINSBURG,
On Saturday last, the gallant Democracy of
Colerain township, held a large meeting
which was organized on motion of Col. J. M.
Van Horn, by the appointment of CART .A. Mc-
CLELLAN as President: Wm. Adams, Esq., Jas.
Cessna, Esq., Thos. H. Murray, Esq., and Hugh
Wilson, were appointed Vice Presidents, and
Capt., P. M. Cessna, D. F. Beegle, Secretaries.
Speeches were then made by B. F. Meyers and
John Cessna, Esq?. The meeting was a good
one, full of enthusiasm, and adjourned with
three loud and hearty cheers for the whole
Democratic ticket. Colerain will speak in
tones of thunder her approbation of Democratic
principles on next election-day.
AT ST. CLAIRSVJLLE,
On Tuesday, the 28th ult., the sturdy Democ
racy of St. Clair township, had a meeting which
was characterized by much enthusiasm and
good feeling. On motion of Col. F. D. Beegle,
JOHN H. BOWSER was called to the chair.
Adam Oster, John Hoenstine, Thomas B. VVise
garver, Henry Yont, Philip Stambaugh, Jacob
Acker, Jos. P. Carver, and Geo. Beegle, were ap
pointed Vice Presidents and A. Ake and Sam'l.
Berkhimer, Secretaries. The meeting was then
addressed by John Lingenft-lter, O. E. Shannon
and B. F. Meyers. St. Clair will do her duty.
liy We understand the Opposition meeting
at Hopewell on Saturday last, was a complete
farce and ended in a tow. The Free Trade
Read and McPherson men who were present
did not seem to be in lavor of a Tariff on "Par
ker whiskey."
[G?*The meet ing of the "Buchanan Club on
Saturday evening last, was large and spirited.—
Speeches were made by Messrs. Cessna, Schell
nd Meyers.
FROM WASHINGTON.
[Correspondence of tbeßethorii Gazette.
WASHI.XUTOX, Srr. 11, 185 S.
Gentlemen :
Tlie proceedings of your late great
Democratic meeting have heen received here
and read with lively interest, embracing, a>
they do, the sentiments of all reliable Demo
crats. The resolutions are strong and to the
point, just such as were expected from the no
ble-hearted Democracy of Bedford county. On
examining the list of otlicers, committee-men,
and Speakers, I notice an array of the best and
most influential men in the county, among the
number our excellent friends Rob't Al. Tar lor &
Nicholas Krgg, Esqs., (who, misled by the wily
artitices of an unscrupulous enemy, for a short
season,) have returned to their "first love"'
more enthusiastic in defence of correct princi
ples than ever. With such a Ticket as tloats
at your mast-head, and such a body of men to
lead the column as composed the meeting, your
sticess is certain. A r—nomination was emi
nently due both to (Jen. Burns and Mr. Hay.
The General made a noble run on a former oc
casion— in fact he added much strength to our
entire Ticket, and would have been elected, by
a handsome majority, could we have induced
our active men to believe that he stood any
chance ot success. Many believed that he
would be beaten by from UOO to 1000 votes,
and, under this impression, a number of Dtmo
crats, neighbors of the opposing candidate, vo
ted for him as a mere personal compliment,
supposing their votes, for this part of the Ticket,
would be lost should they cast them for the
Democratic nominee. It is to be hoped that uo
Democrat will jeopardize his party thus in the
future, but that all will rally as one man to the
| support of the whole Ticket. Only think ola
Democratic candidate losing his election, in the
j counties of Bedford and Somerset, by 9 votes ! !
Let it be the ambition of every Township to
try and add to the vote of Burns and Hay at
least the number by which Burns was beaten
last Fall. "Little Berks," (Cumberland Valley,)
can "do better"—so can glorious old South
ampton. Only 'dig/it up the /ires,'' and all
will be right.
Your unanimous re-endorsement of Hon.
WILSON REILI.Y was a high compliment to his
woith, both as a citizt-n and Representative in
Congress. No man labored harder for the in
terests of his District than did Mr.. REILLY, and
the people could not be represented bv a salei
man. He very candidly told vou, in his great
speech at Bedtord, lliat, before he had time to
examine the Kansas question in all its d-tails,
he was opposed to its admission under the Le
compton Constitution—hut, alter he bad ascer
tained the whole truth, he was compelled, as
an honest man, acting under his oath of office,
to vote for the acceptance of that Constitution.
This declaration exhibits the true character ol
a true man. All are liable to err, and nothing
places a man so high in the estimation of Ins
fellow-citizens as a hold acknowledgment of
r, when satisfied of the fact. The vote re
ceived by Mr. Reilly, ni home, in October,
!85fi, is the best refutation that could be desi
red of any slanders that may pursue him in the
present contest. From the information I have
from all the counties composing our District, I
have not the shadow of a doubt of his trium
phant re-election—but every man should work
as though the election depended upon h>s own
vote. c. w. b.
WASHINGTON, Sep., 185 S.
Gentlemen:
The time is close at hand, and every
Democrat will esteem it a pleasant privilege,
as well as a duty, to be at bis post, noblv con
'ending, by his voice and vote, for the glorious
principles to which We Sri' indebted for all that
has made us the great, happy, and prosp roils
people we are.
That the approaching election in Pennsyl
vania is one of givat moment, not only to the
Democratic party, but to the whole country, 110
one at all familiar with the history of political
events will deny. The great Democratic Par
ty, with JAMES BUCHANAN at its head, occupies
truly a proud posili >n, for it is now fighting the
great battle of "Equal Rights," "solitary and
alone," against such a combination of isms,
headed by bad and unscrupulous men, as never
before appea-ed on the tield of political stiife.—
But, although the fight will be a fierce one, we
have every confidence in the triumph ol our
cause. It is gratifying to perceive with what
diligence and good will the Democracy are
marshalling for the con.rst, and how magnani
mously they are burying past differences upon
the altar of public good. There is certainly no
plausible reason why any Democrat should al
ienate himself from his party a: this time. Jt
is true some of our best men were, for a season,
misled by the clamor of J. W Fornev, and others
of the same sti ipe on the subject of the admis
sion of Kansas, under the Lecoinpton Constitu
tion, but now that he has joined hands with the
Black Republicans, and is literally arrayed a
gainst every candidate nominated by the Dem
ocratic part}', bis power for evil is at an end.—
The vexed question of Kansas, which, for a
time, threatened a dissolution of our happy TT
nion, having been settled by an honorable com
promise, we have every reason to believe that
the party will stand united, with a firm deter
mination to defeat ABOLITIONISM in all its
shapes. In this great contest, Pennsylvania
Democrats will stand shoulder to shoulder in
the good fight.
By recurring to the events of the last four
years, we find the enemies of Democracy sail
ing under four distinct party names during that
brief period. In the early part of the year IS.bf
they dubbed themselves "Democratic
about mid-summer of the same year they ap
peared as Know Nothing Americans, in which
capacity they acted until 18:37, when they dec
orated themselves with the doctrine that a ne
gro was better than a (iermnn or an Irishman
and now, in 1838, they repudiate all the
names by which they were heretofore known,
and muster their speckled column a< tile "Par
ty of the People !" again attempting to hum
bug the masses on the question of the Tariff", as
suring Item that the defeat of the Democracy
is the only way to give sure "protection" to the
labor of the country; whilst all history proves!
that the great and leading principle of Democ- i
racy is, to elevate and give dignity to the la- '
boring man.
The Tariff Act ol 18+6, was represented as
the certain destruction ot the coal, iron, agri
cultural, and mechanical interests ot Pennsyl
vania, and yet under that act , we enjoyed a de
gree of prosperity unparalleled in the history
ol toe world. Ihe tanners and mechanics nev
er bfiore realized such prices lor their stock
and produce as they did alter the passage of the
tariff"of IS+6, and it was optional with them
to take gold and silver, or Bank paper in pay
ment. WhiM receiving the highest pric-s fr
their stock and product*, they were enabled to
buy their store goods on the most favorable,
term*
I lie Im,tf hotel with our opponents has al
ways been a ,*'•"/</, a base imposition to de
ceive am! mi-lead aiJ( j unsuspecting men, !
as will be seen by a few pu;„ references. Not- i
withstanding the vindictive war made ~pon the '
Tariff of 1846 by oor opponents trom '
high-to-a-duck upwards," only last yiar ,We y i
headed their State Ticket with the man who
had been its warmest advocate, and the only
member nfthe Pennsylvania delegation in Con
gress who had voted lor the repeal of the Tariff
of 1842 ! —Even now their Sute Ticket is led
by Hon. Joiin M. Jinan, who, on the 29th day
ol July, 1846, addressed a letter to Vice Presi
dent Dallas, congratulating hun in his own
name, and on behalf of the "toiling mil/ions-'
for having decided the fate of the new Tariff
Bill by his cutting rote.' But this is not all. In
the last Congres--, {he House of Rupres-nta
tive# was controlled by the Black R-publicans
—in fact, they boasted that we had net mem
bers enough in that body for s* ed—and what
did they do with the Tariff question. 7 Pause
find cons/do! Did they increase the duties/ No,
indeed, instead ol'increasing, they reduced them,
as the record prove*, and they are responsible
for the very Tariff of which they now so bit
teriy complain. T.ie Tariff of 184-6 imposed a
duty of 3d per cent, upon iron. The Black Re
publican and Know Nothing Tariu of 18.07 re
duced the duty on that article from 30 to 24
per cent, a facl also proved by the record. Such j
duplicity arid low trickery as our opponents i
have exhibited oil this subject, should and
will, di-gust every man who has judgment e
nough to think for himself. The people have
a President in whose integrity and capacity
they have unbounded confidence. [„ standi rig '
by hi;n they have a sure guaranty that h will j
lead them safely through every difficulty that
may present itself, and conduct the all..irv of!
the nation in such away a> to promote the best
interests of our common country. This is his i
object, and his highest earthly ambition.
Our State Ticket is headed t-v a gentleman!
who stands pre-eminent as a citizen and jurist.
In fact, few rren of his years have acquired a
higher reputation for integrity and cip'rcift/.
consequently it is to be hoped that he will re
ceive the cordial ar.d united vote of the Democ
racy of the Commonwealth. In William A.®
POitTim the people have a Judge in whom tb* v
can safely entrust their dearest interests.
The nominations tor candidates tor Congress,
throughout tlio Siatf, nre nearly I 1 ma,l*\ In
the first District, H an. Titos. B. FLORENCE, has
been re-nominated. This is a compliment well
deserved. No member has ever served his con
stituents with more untiring energy and indus
try. I have b"en astonished to witness the ex
traordinary perseverance of Col. F. in every
thing p.-r'a ning to his duties as a Representa
tive. He is truly A man of the PEOPLE, and
will, without doubt, be triumphantly re-elect
ed. Should, however, the toiling masses in his
District lose his services in Congress, their loss
will be irreparable. He is lecognized here, by
every body, as the " poor man's friend" and I
honestly believe, il he had but a dollar in the
world, he would give it to the first object of
charity tHat presented itself. He labors dav
and night, when rendered necessary, and when
he is tailed upon to perform a public duty
touching his own, or any other District, if hon
orable exertion will accomplish the end he nev
er fails. It is a matter of surprise that any
worki'iif man can cast his vote against FLOR
ENCE, for, in all that is -personal, he will as
readily minister to the wants of political foes
as though they were his friends. Ail classes
here feel interested in itis success.
In tin 1 2d District, MI. MARTIN, a well
kneun Merchant and active Democrat, has
h'en pieced in nomination, and it is sincerely
hoped thai he " l" he elected, for, from my own
knowledge of the ma,", I take it he would
make a very valuable Representative for Philki.
Mr. LAN nv from the 3d, MR. PRII-Lips from
the 4-th, and Mr. OWEN JO.NF.S from the sth
Diitr.ct, have all been re-nominated. All
three of these gentlemen are men of ability
and sterling worth. Mr. PHILLIPS IS certainly
one of the most ready and able debaters in the
National House of Representatives, and reflect
ed great credit upon his District last winter.
"Old Berks'' has again placed m the field,
Hon. J. GLAN< R JONES, one of the best abused
men in this country. The gallant yeomanry
of that conn'y have shown how well they ran
apprtcute the services of a good and faithful
representative, by tendering to this gentleman
a unanimous re.nomination. Mr. Jon s as
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, (the most responsible in Congress,) pro
ved himself to be a Statesman ol no ordinary
ability. His triumphant election is a foregone
conclusion, of course. 51 e has a malignant op
position to cont-nd with, but Berks is tlie coun
ty that knows how to deal with such material.
In the Lancaster District, Mr. HOPKINS, a
firm and reliable Democrat, has received the
nomina'ion. TIJADEUS STEVENS, of "Buckshot
War and Gettysburg Rail Road" memory, ts
his opponent. It is said the "old line Whigs"
will not touch him with a ten foot pole, and,
if this be true, the election of Mr. Hopkins is
certain.
Mr. DEW ART, of the 11th District, lias been
re-nominated, and, although some dissatisfaction
seems to exist in his District, it is believed he
will be elected. Dewart is a no6le, generous
man, and is entitled to the cordial support of
his party.
Mr. Lkidy, of the 12th, I believe his n >t yet
succeeded in a re-nominal ion. He stood up
firmly in Congress, as a party man, and should
by all means, be returned. 1 don't know what
may be the usage of the Democracy of that
District, but I think a representative who has
faithfully served his people, should, .it least, re
ceive a second term.
Mr. Dir.! Mien, of the ]3th, Mr. WHITE, of
the loth, and Mr. Reillv, of the 17th District.!,
who so well served their constituents and (heir
par'y during the last session, have all been pla
ced in nomination, by the unanimous voice of
their party, and no doubts are entertained of
their election.
The warm and numerous friend* of Dr. Ahl,
of the \ ork District, feel deep regret that so
much difficulty exists in regard to It is re-nomi
nation. Pennsylvania never had a more honest
and faithlul Representative than Dr. Ahl, and
it is hoped all differences will be amicably set
tled, and he triumphantly elected.
In the 18th District, the Democracy have
been peculiarly fortunate in their nomination.
They could not have made a mistake, however,
for in the two gentlemen whose names were
