THOSE QUESTIONS.
Why is lir. Taylor silent?
The Abolition-Amaigamation-Know-Noth
ing candidate for Associate Judge, refuses to
answer the question® put io him in opr paper oi
week before last. He dares not reply to them.
He has so many interests to conciliate—so ma
ny sharp corners to turn—that it is not at all
agreeable to him to meet those queries frankly
and boldly. In order to round the maoy rough
headlands in the cours" of his political voyage,
he must dodge—dodge dodge 1 A while he
is in the Abolition boat, sailing along socially
with the negro-lovers—presto, he is in the
Know Nothing craft, working its oars most dex
terously—anon, he jumps on botrd the Demo
cratic ship and makes love is the most tender
style to those terrible "lyicofoco®,'* whom he
always despises most cordially except ivfaen he
K a candidate for office. But dodging won't do,
Mr. Taylor. The people want to know your
answers to these questions :
Mr. Taylor, did you not, in 1837. vote for
DAVID WILMOT, lor Governor, who was'
supported by the abolitionists of Pennsylvania 1
for that office, and did you not refuse to sup- j
port ISAAC HAZELHORST, the Straight J
cm, anti-abolition candidate of your party ?
Did vou not vote, last fall, lor JOHN M.
RE A D, the candidate for Supreme Judge of this j
State, supported by the Abolitionists ?
Would you not vote ior WM. H. SEWARD,
tf nominated by your party lor President, the
man who recently declared that there isan "ir
repressible conflict between freedom and slave
ry, *' which will never cease til! the cotton and
rice-fields of the South shall be cultivated by
(ree labor, or th rve and wheat fields of the
North by slave labor ?
Will vou not vote for GEO. W. W iciutts,
the model Aholitbn-Amalgarnationist, who vo
ted against the Rill to prevent the intermarriage
of whites and blacks ?
Lastly, as you are still a sworn Know Noth
ing, never having renounced your oath, would
you not be compelled to vote for Gerrif Smith,
\V Lloyd Garrircn, or any avowed and una
dulterated Abolitionist, it nominated by your
jarty '
WHY IT YVAS DONE.
The nomination o! AIR. JOHN 1 \XI.OR;
I for Associate Judge, was made by the Know
i Nothing Abolition wire-workers, for the j
presj purpose of entrapping such Democrats >'s \
'■ from i heir personal mul family connexion with
.Mr. Taylor, would be inclined to rote for him.
He was nominated, not because of any respect
' for his talents, or his worth as a citizen, but be
cause the aloresaid wire-workers supposed that
ome of Mr. Taylor's relative*, who are among
the best Democrats in the county, would be
induced to deert their party and vote for their
cousin or their brother-in-law. His nomina
tion is i trap set expressly for .Mr. Taylor's
, Democratic relatives. We have laid bare the
pit-fill ; should any one linn in
it, it will not br- without a poper warn
!
"WORSE THAN A YLNKEE."
! MR. JORDAN says we are worse than a Yan
' kee, because when he asks is* a question, we
answer him by asking him half a dozen in turn.
We can say nothing in extenuation of this sad
! habit of ours, except that Mr. Jordan's political
history is of such a questionable nature that we
can't resist the temptation of pu'ting a few in
■ terrngatories to him, now and then. Will Mr.
i Jordan answer this question :
i Did the truth sutler more at your hands,' Mr.
■ Jordan, when you said in 1555 that Simon
Cameron was a u slimy poli'.ician. who never
■ accomplished an honorable achievement in poll
'tics for when you prirlaimer 1 , a few days ago,
, (bat he "reus ALWAYS the able and zealous
■ advocate of the. great interests of Pennsylvania
< j which he so vo'.H understands ?"
IS he" an abortionist ?
MR. SAMUEL J. WAY, who is a candi
date tor the office of County Treasurer, was
busiiy employed during the last summer, in get
-4 ting subscribers to the .V. Y. Tribune, an Abo
i lition newspaper of the rankest sort, whose ed
, : itor has proclaimed that " rather than tolerate
j national slavery as it note exists, let the Union ;
, be dissolved at once, and then (he sin of slave
ry will r"si where it belongs," and whose cor
i respondent, JAMES REDPATH, has sai i of
j Southern slave-dealers, u Drive them into the
j sea us Christ once drove the swine." After Mr
1 Way's "Ivorts to sow broadcast such heresies as
j these, we presume few persons will hive the
| hardihood to deny that he is an Abolition-;
!•
A SHAMELESS FALSEHOOD.
! We are informed that some of f tie scavengers
j ofth? Abolition-Amalgamation-Know-Nclhing
! People's party, are circulating the story
| that JOHN KEMERY, the Democratic candi
j date for Director of the Poor, is a foreigner by
j birth. This is a deliberate, wanton falsehood.
■ Mr. Kemery is an American bv birth. N>verthe- |
j iess, we hold that if he had been born in i
| Germany, or any other foreign [land, he would |
I not be a whit the worse for if, either as a man,
| or, a citizen.
[Cr"The piebald Opposition—the rednubta
' ble "ring-streaked and striped''—are trying to
j make capital against GEN. COFFROTH by
• representing that he is a Forney man. This is
'untrue and unfair. Gen. Co.Troth sym
j patbfsed with Foiney in his efforts to distract
! and divide the Democracy. He refused, to our
1 own certain knowledge , to sign the ca!i for For-
I nev's Bogus Convention,and lasi Fail he labor
j ed hard for the success of the Democratic tick
' et in Somerset county. The harmonious "speck
; led and spotted'' had better let Gen. Cofi'rotb
alone, and tell us which of their candidates tor
, the Legislature they intend to drop, Amalgams
j tion Williams, or anti- Amalgamation Walker.

- A PRACTICAL r?IA"E OF TUB NEGRO QUES
TION.— A WHITS MAN ASSAULTED WITH KNIVES
AND CLUBS BY NEGBOEJ GKEAT EXCITEMENT !
On. Saturday night last, as Mr. Geo. Meioy, a
young man living with Mr. Steckman, of this
place, was sitting in front of the "Mengel
House," he was assaulted by a gang of negroes
who, it seems, were armed with knives and
clubs. A hand-to-hand struggle ensued and
in the melee, young Meloy received a severe
cut from some sharp instrument in the hands of
one of the negioes. The alarm being given, a
considerable number of citizens collected to
gether and succeeded in capturing the darkies,
and lodging them in jail. On Monday they
came up tor their hearing before Esq. Radebaugh
when some half dozen of them were bound
over. This affair has caused much excitement
among our citizens.

; TO THE CITIZENS OF BEDFORD CO.
I have concluded to commence the surveys
for the Map of Bedford Co., and as I will have
to ask a good many questions as I pas? along, I
have to request that the desired information be
cheerfully given, otherwise mistakes might bc
cur which would be unpl asant to me and to those
who get the maps. 1a m desirous ot making a
work which may c afeiy be referred to, to ascer
tain the proper spelling of names in particular
and on this subject, I wish to say that 1 consid
er very many names mispeiled in this county,
(as well as elsewhere) but in ail cases I will
spell each man's name as he spells it himself, il
tie will be pleased to tell me how he spells it.
Otherwise I will use my own stanbard and will
iet each onejuuge for himself whether it is
good, or not, after the man is completed. There
may be many things worthy of note, such as
minerals of different kinds, springs, icc., which*'
I might pass without noticing. I therefore re
quest a'l who f->el any interest in a good Map
ofthe County to not neglect those small mat
ters as I pass along, but have th-m brought to
light. 1 wish to be allowed hre to say that many
Mans are gotten up which only show the busi- ;
ness and properties of those who subscribe and
others are left blank, as for instance the Map of 1
Bedford Borough. Several County Maps in this j
S'ate were gotten up on the same principle, !
which were sold at six or seven dollars. But
it is my desire to make a map for general ref
erence. I shall, however, give mv subscriber-:
a special notice, as is customary in getting up
the City Directories. I have not yet the desired
number of subscribers, but having confidence
that I will yet he encouraged, I have conclu
ded to go on with the work.

Tu the above-named committees, chosen by
the direct vote oi'the Democracy of the county,
the organizationalthe party in ttie several town
ships nnci boroughs, is entrusted. It is their du
ty to see that voters are properly assessed, that
harmony and good l-eiing prevail among Demo
crats, that the candidates of the party are not
secretly injured by their political or their per
sona! enemies, that the whole Democratic vote
01 their respective districts is brought to the
[mils, and that the interests of the party gen
erally are attended to in a proper manner. These
Committees are all composed of good men am)
we, therefore, confidently expect that they will
render great service to the Democracy between
this and the election.
One vote-
The importance ot one vote is rarely made
more manifest than it was in the recent elec
tions in Kentucky and Tennessee. One oppo
sition candidate for Congress, in the former
State, was elected by three votes, and in another
district the vote was.a tie. f.n the latter State
one opposition candidate for Congress was ejec
ted by eight votes, another by twenty-six, and
another by fifty, in all of these cases there
were doubtless Democrats enough remained at
home to have turned the scale in favor of the
Democratic nominees, had they gone to the
election Snd deposited their ballots, as it was
their dirty to have done. We Lope that Demo
crats will bear these instances in mind, t.his fall,
in this county and State, and not under-estimate
the importance ot one vote in determining the
result of the eiectiun.
The Baltimore Reform Meetinc.
The tovn meeting, held the other day in Bal
timore, for the purpose ot devising means to
rescue that city "from its prpsent deplo-able
condition," was attended by imposing numbers
of respectable people from all parties. The
crowd which was assembled in Monument
Square is estimated at some 10.000. The res
olutions which were passed, and speeches made
on the occasion reveal a state of affairs in that
unfortunate community that is pertectly horri
ble, and calling for the most determined action
on the part of all well disposed citizens. They
must not relax in their efforts. The eyes ol
the country, whose sympathies are with their
cause, are upon them. If thev should fail /tow,
(he evil consequences flowing from such failure
would not be confined to Baltimore alone. It
would encourage the elements of rowdyism and
bloody ana'chv elsewhere : but for BaltimoiP.
it would result in utter ruin, were the present
authorities allowed to continue in power another
term.
What has become, under their blighting rule,
ofthe rights guaranteed bv the Constitution of
this "land of the free" to every citizen, may be
inferred from the following graphic description,
bv one ot the orators of the town meeting, of
the manner in which elections are managed and
carried in Baltimore.
"A referen e to the. political proceedings of
the past few weeks will illustrate what I mean.
An important election is coming on, which will
determine the character of our city Govern
ment for the next year. Candidates were to be
nofiiinated, and it has been done. But how
was it accomplished ? Instead of an orderly as
lembly of peaceable citizens to select the :>est
men for important offices, we have gepn a mus
tering all over the city of political clubs, whose
vile purposes are best indicated by the vile
names which they asump. These were the
active and efficient instruments in the nomina
tions. Plus Uglies, Blood Tubs, Black Snakes
and Tigers are some of the names in hich these
people rejoice and bv which they characterized
themselves. The vilest reptiles and most sav
age beasts in tr.e judgment of these men of the
club, form their most appropriate designations
and fittest emblems. These clubs comprise the j
individuals who sepk to control and often do j
control the primary meetings of the people, j
Their services are to ne had by those who pay i
highest or intrigue most successfully, and they !
! accomplish their work bv fraud and violence,
with knife and pistol, the cowardly slung-shof
and iron knuckle. They have indeed come to
be a recognized element in the political canvass,
and even honorable gentlemen are not ashamed
to seek for and accept nominations from such
unclean bands."
The effect of the disorderly government of
the city upon her reputation abroad, her trade
and material interests, is described by another
as follows:
"As a merchant f must tell you how it has af
fected the trade and commerce of our city. Last
winter t made a trip to our Western country :
1 visited many parts of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois,
Missouri and lowa. I called to see many ai-r
--j chants in those States, and invited them to com"
; to Baltimore arid deal with us, and I am pain-d
!to tell you th"ir answer. We us--d to deal in
; Baltimore, said some of them—we would lik
to deai in Baltimore, said others, but we can
do just as well in Philadelphia and New York,
and we do not wish to incur the risk nfgoing to
Baltimore. Your laws and authorities are pow
erless against the banded outlaws of your city,
anil we are afraid to come there.
Every now and then we receive a remittance
from some country merchant about t*he time we
are expecting him to come to Baltimore and
; hnv his goods, making the announcement thxe-
J with that he will not come to Baltimore this
season, but will go east bv the northern rout".
We aik for no explanation—we all under
stand it.
Many of those who do come here make their
calculations when they Lave home to arrive
here in the morning, so that they can make a
few special purchases in Baltimore, and leave
again in the evening train fur Philadelphia.
It was only last week that a merchant made
such a visit to Baltimore. Nothing conld in
duce him to spend the night here, as he said he
had already violated the promise he had made
to his wife when he left home, which was thai
he would not come to Baltimore at all.
Another in tanceoccurred in the case of one
of mv own customer® from a neighboring city,
lie came here to purchase goods, and finding
that he could not complete all his purchases ia
a day, returned home by the evening tram, and
came back again the next morning. Aral the
evil reputation ot Baltimore is not confined to
the western hemisphere. I crossed the ocean a
short time since upon a business mission. I
visited a remote town in England to make a
purchase. The manufacturer with whom 1
was dealing had never seen me before. He
was an humble man, and I had no reason to
think that he had ever heard of Baltimore. He
inquired what market in the United States I
bought for. I told him 1 bought for Baltimore.
Baltimore! said he, with a sudden impulse:
why, that's the place v.'here the rowdies shoot
people down in the street." These remarks need
no comment—they speak for themselves.
Numerous as ttie meeting was, the auda
ciiy of the row dies was such as to appear in force
and attempt to disturb its proceedings- But the
ringleaders were promptly arrested this tune.
We trust that the right cause will conquer,
and that the reform movement vvill be success
ful. The power is in the hands ol the respect
able classes of the community. It is their boun
der), sacred duty to assert i , and, if n- ed be, to
make an example that will strike terror into
the souls of the evil disposed.— Pennsylomiun.
