THE BEDFORD GAZETTE.j J Rfdl'oi**!, 19. ISSB. B. F. Meyers &G. AY. Beaford, Editors. | A Bciniigog'tic I MR. FI:. JORDAN*, ol "Buzzard Feast" noto- j nrtv, entertained the Abolition meeting fin J Tut-sdav night iasf, with? large number of his j choiceiit and most audacious foUehoois. How j any man "ho lav:, any claim to the r. eel of; his fellows, or who has the slenderest vein of hcrirsty imbedd d in his nature, can hove the > biazen impudence to retail before an intelligent ? audience sifch infamous and unmitigated falsi ties as those of which Mr. JORDAN deiivei o himself on that occasion, we are utterly at a loss | to comprehend. His friends who witnessed I his shameless disregard for truth, must have j hi ashed for him when they saw him thus deba- j sing nin.s. If at the filthy shrine of demagngism. j One thing is certain, and that is it Mr. JORDAN \ desires to he considered an 'ionesi mm in the I future, he must stick a little* closer to the lrulh j when he un.iei takes to instruct the people on j political subjects, than he did in his harangue j on Tuesday •. vet: eg l ist. Mr. JORDAN said among other things, that in ; 135S the Democratic baltl -cry was " Duchan - | an end Free Kansas." This we pronounce A ; DELIBERATE AND UNQUALIFIED LIB, j and challenge its author to the proof. It is well j known that the Democrats everywhere pro-; claimed it to be their doctrine that the people of Kansas should decide* for themselves, whether they would have a Free or a Slave Constitu-i tion. The Democrats never said that they would make Kansas a Free State. Mr. JORDAN further said that the Democrats established the present TaritT regulations, which : we also BRAND AS UNTRUE. But sixty-. Jive Democrats, according to Mr. JORDAN'S own ; admission, voted for the present Tariff on its fi nal passage. The House of Representatives is composed of 231- members, and as Go i. nut a majority of that number, even according to Mr. j JORDAN'S own statement, the Democrats can not be held responsible fur the passage of that Tariff. Besides the Opposition had control of the House at the time that measure was adopt ed, as is shown by the fact that BANKS, Black Republican, was elected Speaker, and what clearly and conclusively proves that the said ; Tariff was an Opposition measure, is the fact that LEWIS I). CAMPBELL, of Ohio, the chosen leader of the Black Republicans in that House, being the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the bill for the establish ment of that Tariff. This Mr. JORDAN CAN NOT AND DARE NOT DENY. WE CALL UPON HIM TO DO SO BY ALL THAT IS TRUE AND SINCERE AND IF HE WILL BUT DO IT, WE WILL PUT SUCH A BRAND UPON HIM AS WILL MARK HIM FOREVER FOR THE SCORN ! QLWW'm&tVE Another falsehood of Mr. JORDAN'S is that concerning the stationing of the U. S. troops in Kansas, for the purpose (as he alleges) to make it a Slave State. Those tcops were sent there, as Mr. JORDAN well knows, to protect the citi zens of Kansas in the exercise of their privileges as freemen. They were sent there to save the peaceful inhabitants of the Territory from the bloody hands and incendiary toiches of Mr. Jor dan's brother Black Republicans, James 11. Lane and Captain Montgomery. Still another falsehood of MR. JORDAN'S, is bis assertion that the people of Kansas rejected the Lecompton Constitution, on the day appoin ted by the Constitutional Convention for voting upon that Constitution. As every bodv knows, ttie Black Republican agitators in Kansas would not go to Urn polls on thai day, but designedly allowed the pro-slavery men to have every thing in their own way, so that they could after wards charge President Buchanan with making Kansas a Slave State. The agitators would not vote on that day, but got their Black R"pui>ii ean Legislature to fix another Say for voting upon the Constitution, which they knew was illegal and irregular, and it was on this ia<tda\ that they polled their majority of ten thousand against the Lecompton Constitution. And yet another of Mr JORDAN'S untruths is hi* declaration that the Democratic party is in favor of resorting to direct taxation for ihe sup port of the Federal Government. We defy Ma. JORDAN to produce any national Democrat ic platform in which such doctrine as that is enunciated. And yet if this hero of "Buzzard Feasts" and Cameron orgies, had a spark offair ness in his composition, lie would franklv acknowledge that every far Tier, laborer, and arti san pays at this day a higher tax on account of the tar iff on the iron he uses, the clothes he wears, the food he eats and the beverage he drinks, than he would be compelled to pav if he were directly taxed by the Government. He would further acknowledge that the higher the Tariff the Jess tax is paid by the wealthy manufacturer and the more by the poor iaborer, the mechanic and the farmer. We have neither space, nor patience, to enu merate all the monstrous falsities uttered by MR. JORDAN. 0/ course he did not fail to say that the "Hard Times" were caused by tn- Demo cratic party. If we remember aright MR. JOR DAN himself was a Senator tn our State Legisla ture when the "Haid Times" commenced. He had been in that body for three successive years previous to the setting in of the monetary prea sure, and if he knows so much better than the Democratic party how to avert disaster* of the kind fiom which we are suffering, he had ample time in which to display hi wisdom-to that end. Moreover bisßJack Republican friend, Governor Pollock, was 3 office during the same time, and the Black Republicans had i majori'v in the Legislature several sessions whilst the wise-acre, Jordan, was in the Sen ate of Pennsylvania. Besides, as we have before shown, the Opposition had control of the popu lar branch offongress for two years previous to the revulsion last FU. The question is, j therefore, wt v did net th< profound statesmen and astute philosophers, keep the "Hard Times" from coTiing upon us 1 Rut we have already wasted more ink upon MR. JORDAN than such a reckless falsifier as he is worth, and we dismiss him, with the hope that lie will yft learn to ie!i the truth before he 'shuffles o/Tthis moital coil." DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING. On Monday evening last, the invincible Dem cruts of Redford count} 1 , assembled in the Court House, fur the purpose ol congraUtlati;.- each other on the splendid triumph achiewd in this county at the late election, over the coin lined forces of the TecLless and unscrupulous Opposition. The meeting was very large and full of enthusiasm and good feeling. An organiza tion was effected by calling to the chair that veteran Democrat, JOHN BOWSER, ESQ , who was assisted by MICHAEL NAUGLK, HENRY WERTZ, P. F. LEHMAN, Er-Q., JACOB SEMLER , GET. W. BCYTON, THOS. W. HORTON, ESQ., and ROBT. M. TAYLOR, ESQ., as Vice Presidents, and IVm. Peirson, Richard Lmgdon, *l/ex- Med rigor, Jr., as FecMarif s. J lie meeting was then addressed by Mat. S. H. Tate, O. E- Shannon, Esq., B. F. Meyers and Hon. Win. P. Schell. The following resolutions were unani mously adopted, after which the meeting adjourned with three long, loud and hearty cheer* for the Democratic party : RESOLU HONS. Whereas, the Democracy of Bedford County maintained their ascendancy, and won a glori ous victory,over the combined isms and fac tions of ihe Opfwisition, at the election held on the second Tuesday ot October last, therefore be it Resole?J, That we have grvat reason for rejoicing, and that whilst we condole with cor : unfortunate opponents in their failure to obtain the oiiic*s after which they lusted, wo, at the same time, are exceedingly well pleased that j the people of Bedford county have again em ! piratically refused to endorse their anti-republi can and treasonable doctrines. Resolved, That, judging from the past, the election of a majority of the members of (he next Legislature by tiie opponents of the Demo cratic party, will prove deleterious to the in terests of the Commonwealth and disastrous to ! those ol the people at large; and therefore we ' regret that such has been the r-suit of the last ; campaign. Resolved, That as the Opposition leaders and wire-pullers, in their strenuous and unscrupu lous endeavors to obtain votes for their candi dates, made all kinds of promises and pledges to the people, we intend to hold them to the fulfil ment ol these pledges and promises. We expect them to abolish the '"Hard to put plenty of money into the hands of the people, and at once to reduce the "Extra Pay" agant fcixpendttttrev" of Government, of which they affect such great and unbounded abhor rence. Resolved, Thai the Democratic parly has always faithfully fulfilled its pledges and, there fore, has never been compelled to change its name, as its opponents, on account of their nu merous tergiversations with regard to principle and their reckie.-* violation of their promises to the people, have frequently been forced to do. The Democracy have been known by one and the same name since the days of Jefferson; they were "The Democracy," whilst battling with Federalism, Antimasonry, Whiggery and Know Nolhingism; they are "The Democracy" now, when Abolitionism, Black-Republicanism and People's-party-ism, are at one and the same time, the convenient and synonimous ti tles of the Opposition. Resolved, That we re-iterate our adherence to the pr inciples embodied in the Cincinnati Plat form, and again acknowledge our full and un shaken confidence in the integrity and practical statesmanship of President Buchanan and bis Cabinet. Resolved, That we look upon our defeat in this State, at the last election, as a result that will prove beneficial to the party. Instead of injuring our prospects for the next campaign, it is Ihe germ of a coming triumph for the Democracy that w ill effectually redeem Penn sylvania from the power of our political ene mies. BEDFORD RAILROAD. The Bedford Railroad Company have employ ed JOHN FULTON, ESQ., to make a survey of the route over which it is proposed to build the road. MR. FULTON is a good engineer and we are glad to hear of his selection by the company. He will be assisted by MR. JOHN ANDERSON of this place. We are informed that MR. FUL TON expects to be able to make a report of the survey in tbe course of about two months. We have fiequentiy urged the paramount importance of Ihe proposed Railroad, to the people ol Bedford county. We leei that the benefits to be derived from such a work, must be manifest to ail. Certainly no argument is needed with any man who knows anything of modern history, to show that railroads are ad vantageous to the country through which they pass. He cannot travel fifty miles in any di rection, without meeting the fact stnring him in the face. \\ hy then, do not our citizens go into the work of building a railroad, with more spirit than they have hitherto manifested ? Can not seventy-five thousand dollars be raised if* all Bedford county ? especially when we are to have a bonus of the same amount for doing t- Friends of the Bedford Railroad, you can ! do it if you will. Try once more. S3~A. J. COLBOKH, RQ., oi tne Somerset Bar, was admitted, on Monday last, to the pra tice of the Law in the several courts ol this county. MR. COLBOEW, is a gentleman of 6oe abilities, and iu his own county has already woo for hiitut lfj an enviable reputation as a lawyer. Loo# may he wave. ARB THEY ABOLITIONISTS? j It u denied by some of the Black Repbli- | cans, that they hold any political sent ime it in common with the Abolitionists. We haveslown in previous articles that this denial is un*ppor- | ted by the facts. We have shown that t/every men who a few years ago were the stpporters ' of the regular Abolition nominees for president, ate now the acknowledged leaders an/standard* j bearers of the party palling itself "Republican i we have shown that the newspaper organs of| thai party in this state, have triumphantly da ru ed that the people are now togeth er to hear LOVEJOY, a Black Republ/tan Con- i gressm3n, enunciate and defend the very ioc t fines lor the assettion and prornulgatioi of which his Abolition brother was put to (hath by a rr.ob, twenty years ago : ve have shewn that the Black Republican party is making war upon the Southern section of this Union, thjt its leaders stigmatize and denounce the peopli of the South, merely because of th-ir exercise of the privileges guaranteed to them by .'he Con stitution, and that the very life's life of that par ! ty is the agitation of the anti-slavery dogma, all 'of which is likewise true of Abolitionism, and of Garrison, Parker and Pillsbury. Hating proved these things, it would hardly be tectssa i ry to adduce further evidence toccmirce any reasonable man that Black Republicarisno and Abolitionism are identical and their ultimate object one and the same. What fcllovs is, therefore, addressed to the t/nreasonahh ;to snch as are determined not to believe, thrugh the truth Hash upon them bright and dazrhr.g as the light of Chr stianity did upon Pau ' to such as have steeled their heaiU and corscien cos against Democratic testimony and would not hearken unto the representations of a DenoCral, : "though one rose from the dad" to testify to i his credibility. WIU.AM H. SCWARD, of New Yori, is the "representative man'' of Black Republicanism. He is recogr.izpd by all parties as the head and front ofthat organization, which under pretence of an ardent devotion to the principle o hu man freedom, is secretly the bitter and u-'com promising toe of that Constitution which guar antees to a!! who live under it the rights and privileges of freemen. Mr. SEWARD in a speech male at Rochester, New Yoik,during tlie late campaign in that Stale, spoke as follows : "Shall I tell you what this collision means? They who think that it is accidental, unnecessa ry, the work of interested or fanatical agitators, and 'Serefoi" ephemeral, mistake the case alto gether. It is an irrepressible conflict b ttfeen opposing and enduring forces, and it means that the United States must and will, sooner or luler, become either entirely a slaveholdtng na tion, or entirely a free-labor nation. Either the cotton and rice fields "of South Carolina and the sugar plantations of Louisiana will ulti mately be tilled by free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans become marts for legitimate merchandise alone, or else the rve fiekts and wheat fields of Massachusetts and York must again be surrendered by their fan|*ra to markets for trade in the bodies and souls of men. it is the failure to apprehend this groat truth that induces so many unsuccessful attempts at final compromise between the slave and free States, and't is the existence of this great fact that renders all such protended compromises, when made, \aiu and ephemeral." Now, what does this mean but a crusade a gainst the institutions ol the South ? What does this mean but that there must be sectional agitation, internecine conflict, and, if necessary, civil war, until either the South shall he con quered by the North, or the Noilh by the South ? And if it is a "conflict between oppo sing and enduring forces," that is, between Free Labor and Slave Labor, with which of these "forces" will Mr. SEWARD and his Black Repub lican followers cast their influence, or with which of them do they at present co-operate? Most assuredly not with Slavery, for that in stitution is the subject that horrifies their thoughts by day and the incubus that haunts their visions at night. If not with Slavery, then they must be enlisted against it. If a gainsl Slavery, then are they identified with that "enduring force," which urges the United States to become "entirely a free labor nation." And if identified with that "force," they are "Abolitionists," for in that case it mast be their prime object to bring about the total ex tinction of slavery. Of the declaration of Mr. Seward above quo ted, GERRIT SMITH, Abolition candidate for Governor of New York, at the late election in that State, says in a recent letter : "I am notsurebul Governor Seward's Ro chester speech did more than all other tilings to damage my prospects. It passed for an Abo lition speech, especially because it espoused our old .Abolition doctrine, that in the end all (he Slates must be blessed with freedom or cursed with slavery.''' Here we have the testimony of the most thorough-going Abolitionist in the Union, that Seward, the leader and law-giver of the Black Republicans, has espoused the "old Abolition doctrine."' And if his evidence is to be rejec ted, whose is to be received ? Truly, it the prince of Abolitionists does not know what is Abolitionism, then Satan does not know what is sin. But if Abolition testimony is not competent, we can produce that of Black Republicans them selves. The New York Times, an accredited organ of the New York Black Republicans, and a paper which advocated the election i f Fre mont in 1856 and was a supporter of MORGAN, the Black-Republican candidate fur Governor of New York, at the late election, says of the position taken by MR, SKWAHD in his Roches ter speech-: | tHe (Seward) elands betrre the country as advocating the direct and effective intefertnee of the federal for the Jtholiiioa of eiavrry in the Southern Stele*.* Anc! MR. SEWARD is not the only Black Re publican leader that occupies this position.— LI.NCOL.N-, the standard-bearer of that party, in the late contest in Illinois, stands there with him. The New Yorl;j7Vj6/ie, the great news paper exponent of' Black Republicanism stands there with him, characterizing his Rochester speech as "clear, calm, sagacious, profound and impregnable." The whole Black Republican party stand th-re with hiin, for they are even now rejoicing over their victory won in .New York on this very identical position. Who, therefore, no matter how unreasonable he be. will hereafter have the hardihood to deny that the Blaik Republicans are Abolitionists ? And who, no matter t> what party he at present be longs, will be reckless enough of his country's dearest interests to assist MR. SEWARD and the Abolition Republicans, in their endeavors to bring upon our beloved Union, a bloodier and more appalling CIVIL \V A R than has ever been recorded in the annals of the world? A BLACK REPI BLICAN JI BILEB On Tuesday evening the great, grand and glorious jollification meeting which the Black Republicans had advertised for wpeks past, came off at the Court House. We had prepared ourselves for a spectacle quite differ ent from that which ou that eve ning. We had fancied long columns of grin ning and grimacing "Woolly Heads" parading the streets with banners floating, torches wa ving and tranyjarencics blazing. We had im magined thf*"*Winder of their huzzas and the triumphant clangor of their music, the shrill scream of their fifes and the loud rattling of lln-ir drums. But lo ! when this great jubilee which we had supposed would be "terrible as an army with banners," comes to be held, loour utter amazement, it is made up of a mad harangue from FR. JORDAN to a "beggarly ac count of empty boxes," in the Court House.— "Oh' what a" fizzlt "wasthere, my country men !" W r e looked in vain for the rejoicing. We listened with the greatest possible attention, but not a single sh out could we hear. All was .quiet save the obstreperous oratory of FR. JOR DAN (which occasionally created a slight rattling among the dry bones of the "Woollies") and a periodical guffaw from MR JORDAN'S colored friend, WILLIAM CossLUß,Esqr., who seemed to rejoice more than the veritable Black Republi cans themselves, doubtless having ia his mind's eye that "good time coming" when he expects Ma. JORDAN and his party to give him and ev ery negro in Pennsylvania the privilege to stand ride by side with the white man at the fireside and the ballot box. MR. JORDAN during the course of his pala ver, remarked that in 1856 he "urged" both Fremont and Fillmore, as being in favor o Freedom in Kansas. This will be news to the Fillmore men of Bedford County, whom he al ways endeavored to keep under the impression that he was for Fiilmore, and fir Fillmore on -T- =•••* -r mo . ~,U ivi i:. j acknowledges now, what he has heretofore in. variably denied, namely, that he ♦ URGED FREMONT" upon the support of the people in 1856. He also declared that the an!i-Le comj ton Democrats who voted the Black Re publican ticket at the late election, were BOUND to go with his party in th e future.— Let the Democrats who where led astray bv the falsehoods oi their enemies, remember this haughty,dictatorial, overbearing pronunciamen to of MR. JORDAN. He, furthermore, charac terized the Old Line Whigs that voted for MR. BUCHANAN as "SILLY CREATURES" that were be-looled. Let the Old Line Whigs trea sure up this compliment in their memories. VVh-n Mr. Jordan had sweated through his ora torii al agonies, some namby pamby resolutions were read, after which oui friend Filler made a few impractical rerr arks, and with his perfor mancs the meeting closed its arduous and weari some labors. £7* Tim next regular meeting of the "Young Men's Chiistian Association," will be held in Ihp Lutheran Church, on Friday evening, the 261b inst., at 6J o'clock.

The Albany ~irgus, thus alludes to the recent deleat of the Democratic party, and their duty iu the future : "The State elections of 1858, are now p3st. Whatever ol feeling or controversy among Dem ocrats may have characterized thein, and weak ened and broken our power, for the time being in any S'ate, has gone by, and it is better and wiser to look to the future, than to dwell on present heartburnings or indifference. The success of the Democratic party in ISfiO, from this time lor ward, should be the govei ning mo tive ot the political action on the part of Demo crats. All minor considerations, all local con troversies; all impulses, to punish real or fun ded iiijuiies, should be merged in the para mount consideration of carrying the next presi dential election. Not mere!. the prosperity of the Democratic party and the interests of it members, but the higher duty of patriotism and fidelity to the interests and honor ol the coun try requires this action. For ourselves, we shall endeavor to act 011 the rule which we shall recommend to others, apd recognising no personal or political interest, labor to promote the general success of the Democratic cause, and especially to build up and strengthen the Democracy of this State, so that in the great contest, two years hence, the thirty-five votes in New Yoik may, beyond peradventure, be cast into the Democratic side of the scale and cause it to preponderate in favor ot the nomi nee of the Charleston Convention, upon whom soever that much coveted designation may fall. ; We think that the Democrats of this State i should fee| a pride in relation t. the position j of New York in the next Presidential contest, 1 which should subdue all internal jealousies, : consolidate their efforts ami their strength, Cad j them into harmonious and etieigetic co-upera | '.ion,and prepare them to asseit in that great struggle the power of this State in behalf of the j grand national principles upon which their par j ty is found* d. INDIANA AM) OHIO. Tlie Democrats won a splenid victory in In dnanaon their State ticket, electing it hv ma jorities varying Iroin 3000 to 5000. The I.e gisla'ure probably is tie, arid the Democrats lose two members of Congress. Our loss in Ohio is by no means so serious as we at fust supposed. We have nine members in the present Congress. They w ere elected two years ago, and eight of them by bare plu ralities, the Democrats having a majortv in but one district in the State. The muj mty was then on the State ticket forty thousand against us, but the opposition were divided. Now toe op.. ilion aie united, and instead ol one we have ma;'"! ities in six districts, ar.d in three ether di*- tncts the aggregate majority against us is les than five hundred ; and instead of being defeated by 405,000 on our Stale ticket, the majority a gumst us will not be more than 17,000. This result is rather encouraging than otherwise.— The ■ poositi'.ni can make rio more fusions to in crease their strength ; and the steady Democrat ic gains which we have been making every year will soon bring the opposition majority down to nothing, even if it continues united. jn*.
