These Committees are all composed of good men and we, therefore, confidently expect that they will render great service to the Democracy between this and the election.

The Abolitionists of Bedford county, or-rather a few of the wire-workers of that party, in and about this town, have nominated SIMON CAMERON for President of the United States. Without one particle of shame, without the slightest regard for their own honor, or for the consistency of their party, these reckless, vena! and unscrupulous politicians have selected as their favorite candidate for the highest office in the gift of the people, the very man whom they denounced in the bitterest and vilest manner three years and a half ago ! Who ever heard ot such daring and reckless inconsistency, before ? It is spit out, as it were, into the very face of their partv. It is like "the dog that returneth to his vonnt again !" "Can such things be, and overcome us like a summer cloud, without our special wonder ?" Why is it that this "slimy politician, who never accomplished an honorable achievement in politics," (as the Abolition organ said of him in 1855,) has received this honor at the hands of ■ the Bedford Abolitionists ? Has their party become slimy with the filth of their demagogueism that Simon suits them so well ? Or has the aforesaid Simon been "about, with the Middle town Bank in his pocket?" We ask our leaders to compare carefully the two articles which we publish below, side by side. Observe that ; .n 1855, the Abolitiou editors were ol the opinion that the success of Cameron would have been "most direful to the interests of Pennsylvania," and that they looked upon him as a "FREE TRADER" and a "NEBRASKA MAN," "whilst in 1859 they bespatter him with praises, regarding him as a "far-seeing statesman, "the able and zealous advocate of the great industrial interests of Pennsylvania, the ''tearless advocate ofthe rights of tne 'North," and the "manly opponent of slavery extension." In 1855 they regarded him as "the most notoriously corrupt political juggler and .thimble-rigger in the land,' and prayed Hea ! ven to avert the calamity of his election." Now they look upon him as the very beau ideal ot ; a candidate for the high and responsible office of President of the United States. Why this change? Cameron belonged to their partv in '55, when thev denounced hiin so vehemently ; iin fact he was their caucus nominee for U. S. Senator. Consequently he has not changed since theo, but ihey have. Will the masses of their party change with them? Will they follow these purchaseable leaders, like sheep led to the slaughter ? Is there no virtue, nosense of honor, no sell-respect, not one spark of consistency, left in the ranks of the Opposition party ;of Bedford county ? We shall see. [From tbe Bedford Inquirer of Feb'y 16, 1853.J Simon Cameron. Our readers will no douot be surprised at the efforts that have been made in the Pennsylvania Legislature, to secure the election to a seat in U. S. Senate, of .SIMON CAMERON, one of the most foul, and corrupt political desperadoes, that has ever disgraced this or any other State. It appears that he has been buying a number of unprincipled members of the Legislature in- Ito his support. It is well known that before j the elecliort, there was no one in the State who j was more opposed to the American party than | Cameron, but no sooner is the election over, Than this SLIMY POLITICIAN, WHO NEV 'ER ACCOMPLISHED AN HONORABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN POLITICS, turns round wiry and cunning as he is, ar.d slips into the j "Order," for the purpose of seenring the cau j cus nomination for Senator. But we hope and I trust there are honest and honorable men enough | in the Legislature, to thwart the designs of this i arch demagogue. At the caucus, the secret bal j lot was carried by the friends of Cameron, i which would enable the purchased members to vote for him under cover ! On the fifth ballot | the vote stood Cameron 45 ; Curl in 40 : scat tering 6. On the two last ballots Mr. Curtin would have been nominated, but one more vote was cast each time than there were members present—so that it will be sepn that Simon re sorted to every means foul to accomplish his ends. At this stage of the proceedings thirly- Mree members "bolted" from the caucus. A mong those who withdrew, we are highly grat ified to inform our readers, was the able rnem i ber oT the Senate from this place— HON. FRAN CIS JORDAN. Nobly does he stand by the wish es and interests of his constituents —nobly is be sustained in his course by the entire communi ty who speak with but one voice on the sub ject. Alter tlie withdrawal of the thirly-ieree —Cameron was nominated by those who re mained in caucus, 44 to 11 for Curtin, and 2 for Fuller. But thanks to the unpurchaseable part of the Legislature, Simon has been foiled so far, at least. On Tuesday, the day set apart by law for the election, he came within seven voles of an election. The election was finally postponed for two weeks. In the meantime SIMON WILL BE ABOUT WITH THE MIDDLETOWN BANK IN HIS POCKET, READY TO RISK THE WHOLE CONCERN ON HIS ELECTION. HIS SUCC ES s WOULD BE THE MOST DIREFUL TO THE INTERESTS OF PENNSYLVANIA, FREE TRADER AND NEBRASKA MAN, AS HE IS. Let ali those Americans and Whigs who voted for him, hereafter be marked. Thev should have the SEAL OF CAIN UPON THEM, that thpy may be known throughout their miserable lives, as corrupt knaves, who, for money, sold iheir votes, and disgraced the land of their birth, bv voting lor the MOST NO TORIOUS CORRUPT POLITICAL JUG GLER AND THIMBLE-RIGGER IN THE LAND. HEAVEN AVERT THE CALAM ITY OF HIS ELECTION. No honorable man considers the nomination he received, by the purchased who remained in caucus, binding on any member. Fr. Jordan, in his speech on Tues day night of Court Week, gave vent to a stream of bitterness and falsehood against the Demo cratic party, which surpassed anything for foul ness and malignity that we have ever listened to. According to Mr. Jordan, the Democratic party is defrauding the state, cheating the gov ernment, running the nation in debt and ruin ing the country generally. If the poison of the asp had been iQitiUefl upon his tongue, he could not have 3poken bitterer words in greater spite, than were his uncalled for invectives, against the Democratic party. A man who did not know how vilianously this man Jordan falsi fies in his political spe°c hes, would have sup posed from his representations that there was not a single decent, honest man in the Demo eratic party. And yet after all this gratuitous abuse of Democrats, Mr. Jordan and his party | expect Democratic votes for MR. JOHN TAY LOR Will Democrats turn round and kiss the hand that strikes them ?

Who the dickens carerf ? [From thr Bedford Inquirer of Sept. 2d, IS5'J] General Simon Cameron. ID obedience to the unanimons voice of tl)p People's Party of Bedford County, we to-day nail to the mast bead ol our paper, the name of the Hon. Simon Cameron as their choice for next President of the United States. We do this not merely as the organ of the parly, but because it entirely accords with our own wishes. No other meeting will be held perhaps until spring, and this was deemed the most ap propriate occasion to give expression to that sentiment in behal! of Gen. Cameron which we well knew to pervade the entire mass of our parly in the County. If any one doubled tiiis he would base been fully convinced by the en thusiasm with which the meeting on Tuesday night responded to tlw resolution. N'ot a voi* is not a talker, but a thinker and an actor. If he has never filled the maiibags of the coun try wifh long-winded t>oiitical professions he has never faiied in hi whole duty to his State or the nation. He has made no long list of speeches on all sorts of questions lor an unscru pulous opposition to seize upon and misrepre sent in different parts of the country ; and this is no sfmall matter to be considered in the choice ola candidate. A fearless advocate of the rights of the North, and a manly opponent of slavery extension, he has never been hurripd into any violent, fanatical or impractical views on the subject of slavery. He is a fair repre sentative ol the sentiment of Pennsylvania on that question, and the Republican party ot this State represent the sound conservative views ot the country. The name of Gen. Cameron is a tower of political strength in this State, and, with him as our candidate, Pennsylvania can be triumphantly carried in iB6O, and "with her the Union. YVith another candidate we might fail, and the beneficent results of a Republican ; victory deferred to the distaut future. Organize! Organize! Democrats of Bedford county .' The time for action has arrived. The campaign is opened, the issue is made, the nominees ot the differ ent parties are before the people, and the elec tion is but four weeks distant. We call upon you in the name of the great Democratic party, in the name of a true and unaffected patiiotism, iu the name of the principles Jwhich you hold i dear, to be ready for the contest. You believe your principles to be correct ; you believe the ascendancy of the Democratic party to be ne. cessary to the welfare of your country ; and be lieving so, you should devote at least a few days to the advocacy of those principles and to the interests of that patty. Remember that a great work is before us .' Pennsylvania is to be redeemed from the rule of Amalgamationists and Abolitionists. By our neglect to turn out to the polls last year, we suffered oar glorious old Commen wealth tofrnk into the black slough of disunion Black Republicanism. Let us re solve to wipe out the defeat of last Fall, and re store Pennsylvania to the Democratic column. Be vigilant, therefore ; be active. Organize ! organize ! Give a few days to the service of your party ; call upon your neighbor and urge him to action ; and let no effort be spared to bring out the full Democratic vote of the coun ty. The eyes of the Democracy everywhere are turned to Bedford county, for during the last few years she has not failed to give 3 good account of herself. Let us show our friends in other parts of the State, what we can do when oar blood ii up ! Rally ! Democrats, rally ! Local and Miscellaneous —The meeting of the Buchanan Club, on Saturday evening last, was well attended and full of enthusiasm.

What do the old Whig friends of Daniel Webster think of this? —The Bedford Railroad Company, at their meeting on Monday last, adopted a resolution instructing their engineer to make a survey of that part of the road lying between this place and Bloody Run, preparatory to putting the same under contract. The subscriptions to the road, will also be called in, and the work push ed on vigorously. —A Carop Meeting of the M. E.

Democrats of the Senatorial district composed of the counties of Fulton, Franklin and Adams, have nominated J. W. DOUGLAS, ESQ., of Franklin, as their candidate for Sena- j tor. To tlie Democrats of IV. ProTldenct; The time h fast approaching when you will be called upon to exercise the hlond-bought right of the elective franchise. The late Democrat ic Counly Convention has given us an urrex ' ceplionable ticket ; inen who stood fast whin darkness covered the earth and the gross daik uess of Know Nolhingism, the minds of men ; • men who deserve the approbation and supporl ol every true Democrat and Old Line W h g- ! Fellow Democrats, we have great reason to'' i rejoice, when we compare the condition of the | country at pre.-ent, with the aspect it presen | ted in '56 and '57, a< regards peace. Then | Kansas was "bleeding," the Mormons rebelling, i and Walker's filibustering expedition was dis turbing the peace of the country. JAMES Bc- CHAN'AIV, who now holds the highest office in the gilt of the people, has restored peace to our ! land ; his administration has caused neace to flow j as a river. j Fellow Democrats, remember that we have I a fanatical and hypocritical party to contend i against, who called themselves the Jackson par ty in '56. If Jackson was living, he would j tell them that they are disuniooists and that they would be instrumental in bringing or. a conflict in this country,as Seward has predic ted would come to pass, the North and South in arms against each other. Fellow Democrat;* are you ready for such a conflict? if not, it be hooves you to make ready, and in the language of the immortal Jackson, say that the "Union of these States must and shall be preserved!" Remember Democrats, that "eternal vigilance is the pi ice of liberty." i The South demands an equal right with the North in the Territories ; they entered the 1.7- nion with that right recognised in the Consii tion, and it would be an act of injustice to r!e- . bar them trom it. Force-work will never abol ish slavery. Peaceful means will accomplish it in time. Such means' accomplished the abo lition of slavery in our own State. Maryland and Kentucky would be free states now, had the abolitionists not excited the siave-hoiders by their agitation of the subject. Fellow Democrats, in conclusion let me re spectfully request each one of you to consider himself a member of the Democratic Vigilance , Committee for our township, and let me exhort you ail to go actively to work in the good old ; | Democratic cause, and help us gain a gtoricus ' • victory at the coining election.
