THE BEDFORD GAZETTE. Bedford. Aiov. 11, t §59. B. F. Meyers, Editor. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The Democracy ol Bedford county, and all others opposed to the "irrepressible conflict inaugurated at Harper's Ferry, are requested to assemble in Mass Meeting, at the Court House, j on Monday evening of Couit week, >iov. :21st. ; Several speeches may be expected on the oc- j casion. O. E. SHANNON. Chairman Dem. Co. Com. BROWN-REITBLUA X I MI. Public sentiment fixes the responsibility for | the recent rebellion at Harper's terry, upon j the chiefs, the orators and writers of the sham- ! Republican party. "Republicanism," that late- j ly loomed up in such threatening proportions, j all over the North, is now a by-word and a re proach on the lips of the very men who, four weeks ago, were ready to fall down and wor ship at its shrine. With these facts patent be fore their eyes, some of the small fry politicians belonging to the incongruous Opposition, whose bread and butter depend upon the success of the organization to which they adhere, have sagely concluded that something must be done to shift the blame from the shoulders of their party, or the next election will leave them without a single otucia! crust wherewith to ap pease their ravenous and insatiable appetites.— Dire necessity, therefore, compels these politi cal gamblers to invent excuses and apologies for their friend and co-laborer, BROWN, and to endeavor, by falsehood and trickery, to screen "Republicanism" from the condign censure which the popular verdict is everywhere pla cing upon it. We say they are the small fry of the Opposition politicians, who are playing at this game of falsification and evasion. It is their interest to do so. In fact they are com pelled to Jo it, or perish. Their very exis tence, as editors and aspirants for office, de- j pendsupon their success in shielding "Repub- j licanism" from the just vengeance of an ouha- j ged people. Hence, we find these Lilliputian "Republicans"—the little editors anu little e lection-clerks and little candidates for next year's Opposition nominations—busy in retail ing the flattest and most palpable lies concern ing the origin of, and circumstances connected with, the affair at Harper's Ferry. But on the other hand, we have the acknowledgments oi < some of the bell-wethers ofthe "Republican" j flock, that they were formerly connected with | BROWN and others of his fellow conspirators. We have the revelations of COL. FORCES, a sol dier who fought by the side of GARIBALDI, in Italy, and who was employed by the Massa chusetts Emigrant Aid Society, to assist Ihe Free State Men in Kansas, from which we learn that WILLIAM 11. SEWARD, the great "Republican" Senator from the State of New York, was informed by FORCES of the inten tions of BROWN and his Land long before they struck their blow at Harper's Ferry and yet this Republican Senator, sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and placed in the councils of the nation to assist in maintain ing peace and harmony between the sister states, never opened his mouth, nor put his pen to paper, to give notice to his fellow citizens of j Maryland and Virginia, ol the fearful peril in which they were unconsciously involved. We have, also, from COL. FORBES, the statement that he made known to many other Republi can leaders, the designs of Brown and his gang and that he, FORBES, insisted that Brown's arms i and equipments should be taken from hun that his purposes might be thwarted. But, as the sequel has shown, not a Republican orator ut tered a syllable against the contemplated trea son of Ossawatoir.ie Brown. Not a single Re publican editor published a solitary line to ap prise the people of Harper's Ferry ol their dan ger. Not one of the myriad small fry that turn "Republicanism" into molasses an 1 slap jacks, raised his voice to denounce 'old Brown' or to call him "crazy." They all ijuiiity ac quiesced in Ihe meditated treason. Further more, we have the acknowledgment of Joshua R. Ciddings, a member of the "Republican" State Committee of Ohio, that Brown was at his house by invitation, that Brown delivered an anti-slavery lecture in the church at Mr. Gli dings' place of residence, and thai he (Cid dings) addressed the audience for the purpose of raising money jor Jhouin. Ciddings also acknowledges giving a small sum of money to one of Brown's sons, but, of course, denies any knowledge of Brown's plot against the Govern ment, though, in a recent speech at Philadel phia, he attempted to justify Brown by every! possible argument that could be'urged in his fa vor. Again, Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, a leading Republican, said in a speech lately delivered, that "the Harper's Ferry outbreak was a consequence of the teachings of Republi canism." Another witness is the A. Y. Ex press, the organ of the American party in the state of New York, which boldly charges the "Republicans" with responsibility for Brown's conspiracy. Hence, we see that it is only those qrubs of "Republicans," who live upon the successof the Opposition, that attempt to deny that Republicanism is responsible for Brown, whilst the great lights of their party try to jus tify Brown and admit that the Harper's Ferry trouble was the legitimateoffspring of "Repub- j lican" parents; whilst Opposition papers and i politicians, tree from the taint ol negro-ism, do not hesitate to place the blame where it justly belongs—upon the shoulders oftbe Brown-Rr pubhcan party. (FF~The weather has been unusually fine, the lait ten dayi. COURTEOUS, VERY. Under the caption, "BF. COURTEOUS," the ' Somerset Herald, a short time ago, asked us a i | few facetious questions which we copied into ■ our pappr ot wprk before last and answered in i the same spirit in which vie supposed they had : been put. We also, in turn, propounded a few : questions to the Herald , which must have struck the editor of that "paper under the fifth rib," at ' feast his bile seems to have been in a very ' disturbed condition when getting up his last issue. This punctiliously "courteous" editor J accuses us of "blackguardism," of "dirty at : tempts to make party capital out of unimpor tant matters," S.C., See., and alleges that we have reduced the Democratic majority several hun dred in this county. Now, we would most , courteously inform the Herald man, that he is ; guilty ot falsehood. At the October election, ' in 1856, Bedford county was redeemed to the i Democracy, having lor several years previous given Opposition majorities. At that election nearly the entire Democratic vote of the county, was polled, and the majority was 125, just 16 | lessihan it is this year. We would ask the | Herald man, whether that looks like "reducing ; Hie majority." In 1857, during our editor i ship of the Gazette, Packer's majority over i Haziehurst and Wilmot combined, was 372, i over 150 more thin Edward Scull's majority j for Prothonotary of Somerset county, at the | same election. Was that "reducing the majority 1" In 1858, when we polled 136 voles le-s than this year, our majority was still 52 more than at tiie October election in 1856. Was that "reducing the majority?" We suggest to tiie Herald man that the less he says about "reducing majorities," the better it will ,be for his own reputation as an editor. It I wqpld be. well for him to remember that when : he took charge of the Herald , Somerset county gave an Opposition majority ot 1800 to 2000, ' and that since his advent as an editor, that majority has become "small by degrees and beautifully less," until, now it lacks just 1000 of what it was in days gone by ! Nothing would delight us i more than to have his assistance a little while |in Bedford, for we think that if he were to \ publish an Opposition paper here one year, we could roli up at the end cftbat time, at lea=t one thousand Democratic majority. We would just flint to fhe Herald man, with ail befitting courtesy and with due deference to his superior ability in reducing majorities," that if he suc ceeds in sweeping clean before his own door and minding well his own business, he will have 1 enougn to uo without interfering with the af -1 fairs of his neighbors. Do you understand ? TIIE MARYLAND ELECTION. On Wednesday, of last week, the biennial election for State officers and members of Con gress, came off in Maryland. The result shows large Democratic gains throughout the state, except in tfie city of Baltimore, where the polls were taken possession of at an earlv hour by the rowdies and desperadoes of the Opposition, and where, with the exception of'a single ward, no Democrat, or reform man, could vote, except at the risk oi losing his life. 'I ne Congression al delegation stands three Democrats to three Opposition, the same as in (he last Congress. The Democrats, however, have a majority in both branches of the Legislature. The Oppo sition carried the Legislature by a considerable j majority, at the preceding election. Jn Balti more city, the Opposition majority is about 170001 Bedford borough might give (he same majoiity by a similar process of ballot-box stuf fing and shooting down of voters. Among the persons murdered by the Opposition rowdies of j Baltimore, at this election, was Ma. A. B. KYLE, JR., a respected and well-known citizen. WM. P. PRESTOX, ESQ., the Democratic candi date for Congress, was brutally maltreated and for a lime was supposed to be in a living con dition. Tiie following from the Baltimore .American, a leading " opposition " paper of that city, will, we have no doubt, be received as a true stafe m°nt cl the disgraceful scenes which occurred at the election on last Wednesday : [From the Baltimore American.J THE GREAT OUTRAGE. —The election yes terday can be justly termed nothing but an outrage against decency, against law. and a gamst all right 3 public and private. The city was given up to the control of lawless ruffian ism, supported and encouraged by the j>oiice, and approved of and urged on by the recogni sed leaders ot the American party. Armed bands of lawless characters held possession of nearly all the polling places, the efforts which the friends of'a fair and legal election made fo preserve order were treated as acts of riot, and ; the only arrests made bv the polire were of j respectable and well known citizens whose whole j lives aie the guarantee of then obedience fo the I laws. Every species of fraud, every decree of j ruffianism, and every violation of sworn duly, was used to defeat the expression of the will ot the people. Bauds ot men, whose looks bespoke their chaiactei, rode in omnibuses and carria ges from one poll to the other voting without check at each. The accumulated disgrace and shame of the scene was painful to contemplate, and we can scarcely control our own feelings to write of it with any degree of calmness. The reformers made a manly and determined stand tor their rights, but it was against such odds of organized ruffianism arid fraud as ren dered the contest hopeless. Taunted, insulted, and abused, the slightest demonstration they made toward self-preservation was treated as a breach of the peace, and they were ignomin lously dragged to the police stations, whilst their assailants were left to renew their outra ges. They might have continued the struggle to the end, but the result couid only have been the sacrifice of valuable lives, without accom : plishing any ultimate good. With a number of the wards in the uncontrolled possession of their opponents, and fraudulent voting progressing without check at all but the Eighth and the E leventb, the success ot the ticket was an im possibility. Prudence as well as necessity dic tated retirement from a contest wnich was hopeless unless they descended to the vile prac tices of their opponents. What course of ac- tion it may hereafter be advisable to adopt, it is ] perhaps scarcely possible now to say, but we cannot believe that such great wrongs as were accomplished yesterday will be quietly submit- i : ted to. The court should oe appealed to to pre- j | vent the consummation ot the illegal election j !of some of its own officers, and the legislature urged to reject lrom its body members whose j certificates are stained with blood and are the < product of unparalleled Iraud and violence. | Whatever may be the political complexion of j j that body, we canrtot believe it will sanction ) such means lor obtaining power as character ized the contest of yesterday. But, whatever may he the eflect of such an appeal, there is a manifest duty requiring it to be made. ''ln Union there Is Strength." In our first issue after the late election, we took occasion to refer to the want of harmony in the ranks of the Democracy, and to urge the necessity of a speedy settlement of the differen ces existing between the respective portions of the party. We are glad to observe that the tone of the Democratic press throughout the State, is kindred to the sentiments expressed in our article. The Clinton Democrat, a warm supporter of Gov. Packer, and one of the best country papers in the State, the State Sentinel, Gov. Packer's organ at Harrisburg, and other Democratic newspaper# with which we have differed, have spoken out generously in favor ol a re-union of the Democracy. Let this spirit of concession and conciliation be caught up ev erywhere by the Democracy, for in "union i there is strength" and in division there is cer tain and inevitable defeat. Singular, but true. In 1556, nothing could have been said that : would have given greater offence to the Opposi tion leadeis in this place, than to charge them , with intending to "go over" to the •'Republi cans." Now they not only call themselves "Republicans," but their organ-griaiers turn out grist after grist ot editorial to dftbnd the "Republican" party and to disprove its com plicity with the out-Oreak at Harriet's Ferry. Singular, isn't it ? Who shall decide ? The JV*. Y Tribune asserts that Gerrit Smith voted lor Fremont. The Bedford organ of the Ossavoatomies, says he didn't. Who shall de cide when doctors disagree ? [rr-Coi. Forbes,the Italian patiiot and Kansas soldier, says he gave" full iriloimat on to the great leader of the "Republicans," U\ H. Sew ard, concerning Old Brown's treasonable in tentions. The people want to know why great "Republican" did not try tr frustrate Brown's bloo.lv designs, by making known to the public what Forbes told hirn. [CP*The V. Y. Express, an Opposition pa per, say's Gerrit Smith is a "Republican." The Philadelphia Evening Journal, anoiher oppo sition paper, says that "Republicanism" is to blame for the insurrection at Harper's Ferry, i The small fry "Republicans" in Bedford, will have a good time refuting this testimony from their own ranks. 'GPbAn article from the Bedford Opposition | organ-grinders in their last issue, under the ; head ol "The Irrepressible Conflict," beast* ot the triumphs of that, brutal and bloody doctrine. Does not this show that Brown has the sympa thies ot the Opposition in this place ? •XP"Tn cur account of the recent parade at this place, published in our last issue, we unin- I tentionally omitted the name of Adjutant JOHN | A. GUMP , A? one of (lie field officers on that I occasion. Maj. Gump is a good officer and, barring his politic#, *a clever fellow in the bar gain. THE "WEEKLY COASTITFTION." We publish, below, the prospectus of Gen. Bowman's ably conducted and eminently use ful Constitution, which we commend to the perusal of our readers: We would earnestly invite the attention of i our Democratic friends throughout the Union i to the weekly edition of our paper, which we ! publish every Saturday morning and which has I already met such marked and flattering success.> I The "WEEKLY CONSTITUTION" is a large and : beautifully-printed sheet, combining the advan- I (ages of a political and family newspaper, it' is made'up of the most important editorials,which ! are published in our daily issue; will contain during the session of Congress carefully-prepa red abstracts of the proceedings of both houses; ! furnishes AUTHENTIC information of the procee- | dings of the various departments ot the Govern- ! rnent, for obtaining which we have peculiar fa- ! cilities; all patents issued are published in full; ! all changes in, or discontinuances ot postotfices j regularly appear; and contains, besides, a large ! amount of well-selected miscellaneous news, to gether with the latest markets and telegraphic intelligence, domestic and foreign. The "Sab bath Reading" published in the Daily ot Sat urday evening is regularly transferred to the j WEEKLY, and this is a highly interesting feature j of the paper, and meets with great favor. ! Nothing ola sectarian character i# ajmilted in- ! to this department. With a desite to bring before the people the principles and measures of the Democratic par ty, and at tiiesame time furnish them with an acceptable news journal, we offer the paper at a price barely sufficient to pay the cost ot pa per, printing and packing. The terms are as follows: For one copy, §2 per annum; three copies for §5; five copies for $8; ten copies for Sis; twenty copies sent to one address, $25. Subscriptions may commence at any timp. Daily paper $6 per annum; semi-weekly, $4 per annum. Democrats, put your shoulder to the wheel, push on the column, and it will not be long we trust, until you will enable us to circulate at least a hundred thousand copies weekly of this great paper. 'EF' Read the extract irom the speech of Hon. Daniel S.Dickinson, on our first page. It is eloquent and truthful. From it the Opposition s mall jry in Bedford, may learn that the Ga zette is u ot alone in charging the Harper's Fer ry business upon the "Republicans" but that we are sustained by men whose word and o pinion are every where received with respect ind confidence. i !

Not so Hard After all. A Boston correspondent of a Republican pa j per, himself an intense Republican, speaking of tiie next Presidential nomination, says: "The very delicate job t?f constructing a plat j iorm for the Republican party which shall ac j commodate John Bell and William H Seward, Carl Schurz and Gov Banks, Tom Corwin and i Charles Sumner, Eli Thayer and Joshua R. Gid- I dings, will require great attention." A platform that* would accommodate all the opposition would not be so hard a matter alter ail. Knowing, as we do, the governing mo tive, we could give them one that would suit all classes, colors, and conditions. As fur in ! stance: WHEREAS, The locofocos have held all the j offices for many years, and the sufferings of j the opposition is intolerable, therefore, Resolved, That we want oiiiee. Resolved, That we must have office, Resolved, That we will fight for oliice. Resolved, That, animated h)' the lore of office and the hope for office, we will battle the iocolocos to the death, varying our opinions to to suit each latitude, where officp is to be had. Resolved, That as opponents of the democra cy, we know no east, no wj>st—no north, no south, and "nothing else" but office. Resolved, That as Republicans, know noth ings—free soilers and abolitionists, we prefer offices which yield the greatest amount ui pay for the ieast work. Resolved, That looking for the good of our selves, we demand office and are determined to have office, as without office we find it hard to live, and still harder to die. Here is a platform that teijs the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and every fragment of the opposition will, if they fell the truth, say JiMENia it. The question now most frequently asked bv reflecting men, is, Where would the Haipei's Ferry atlair have ended, if Fremont had been elected President 1 HARI'EirS FERRY TROUBLE. ( TRIAL OF THE PRISONERS. Brown Found Guilty, and Sentenced to be Hung!

The trials of the Harper's Ft ry insurgents, are still progressing at Charlestown, Va. Brown's trial was concluded on Monday, and after ha 1 1 an hour's deliberation, the jury came in with their verdict. They found hitn guilty '■ of treason, advising, conspiring with slaves arid others to rebel, and for murder in the first degree. ;Mr. Chilton moved an arrest of judg ment, both on account of errors in ttie indict ment and errors in the verdict. The motion v\ as argued on Tuesday, by Mr. Griswold for Brown, and Mr. Hunter for the Commonwealth. Without coming to a decision in the matter, the Court proceeded with the trial of Coppee. The evidence in his case was a recapitulation of that on Brown's trial. Capt. Cook waived a.u examination before the Committing Magis trate, and was remanded for trial. SENTENCE OF JOHN BROWN—HIS SPEECH. Brown was brought in to the Court House, on Wednesday afternoon, which was immediate ly thronged.? The Court gave its decision on the motion to arrest judgment, overruling the objections made, i On the objection that treason cannot be commit- 1 led against a State, except by a citizen, it ruled that wherever allegiance was due, treason inay be committed. Most of the Stales have passed iaws against treason. The objections as to the form of the verdict rendered were also regai ded as insutiicient. The Clerk then asked Brown whether he had | anything to say why sentence should not be j pronounced, when Brown stood up, and in a ' clear and distinct voice, said : '•I have, nay it please the Court, a few ; words to say. j "In the tii-t place, i deny everything but : what I have long admitted, the design on my | part to free the staves. I intended certainly to j have made a clean thing of that matter, as [ did j last winter, when 1 went into Missouri and I tlu-re took the slaves without the snapping oi ■ a gun on either side, moved them through the i country, and finally left them in Canada. I j designed to have done the '■sine thing again on a larger scale. That was ail I intended : I never did intend to commit murder or treason, or to destroy property, or to excite or incite the slaves to rebellion and to make an insurrection, i "[ have another objection, and that is, >t is , unjust tfiat I should suffer such a penalty. Had i I interlered in the manner which I admit has been fairly proved ffor I admire the truthful- ' ness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who have testified [in this case), had 1 so 1 interfiled in behalf of the rich, the power- I fu!, the intelligent the so-called great, or in ; behalfof Iheii friends, tither father, mother, i rother, sister, wife or children, or any of that class,and suffered ami saciificed what 1 have in this interference, it would have been ail right. Every man in this Court would have deemed it an act worthy of ! reward rather than punishment. This Court acknowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the law ofGod. I see a book kissed here which 1 ' suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New j Testament. That teaches me that all things I whatsoever I would that men shou d do to me, I i .hould do even so unto them ! It teaches ir.e further to 'remember thein that are in bonds as bound with there V I endeavored to act up to S that instruction.
