Edward McPherson, the Black R-pubPcan
candidate for rr.erriber of Cungre;? for this dis
trict, in his speech at this place, on Tuesday
night of Court week, challenged the voters ot ,
Bedford countv to try him by his Congress na!
record. VVe take up the gauntlet thrown !
down by Mr. McPherson, and refer to one very
dark spot on that record. Our readers, doubt
less, remember the protracted and violent Mrug- j
g!e for the Speakership of the National Ilwse
of Representatives, which took place tast Win
ter. Th original nominee of the Republican
party, was JOHN SHERMAN, of Ohio, an
ultra anti-slavery man, whom the Northern
fanatics in Congress had determined to force
upon that body as its presiding officer. Mr.
Sherman was opposed bv all the conservative
members, whether Democrats, Americans, or
Whigs. He had endowed the infamous HEL
PER BOOK, a work which counsels abolition
of Slavery by lire and sword, which urges the
irrepressible conflict between the North and
the South, which regards the Union as a mere
wisp of straw to be consumed bv Ine negro
incendiary's torch, and which looks to the
disruption of this Government as preferable to
the continuance of Southern Slavery. This
treasonable and dangerous book was circulated
broad-cast over th- country by the ultra Re
publicans, and was recommended to tiie people
by JOHN SHERMAN, ol Ohio. On this '
account, Mr. Sherman encountered the opposi
tion of the conservative men in Congress, of
all parties, and was finally compelled to with
draw from the contest. But Mr. McPherson,
not withstanding the opposition made to Sher- ?
man, by many Whigs and Americans, voted
6teadily for the HELPER candidate, freely
and iully endorsing his ultraism 3nd his un
patriotic and treasonable conduct. This is a 1
part ci Mr. Mcpherson's record bv which he
asks the people of Bedford county to trv him. 1
How many Republicans are there wto may
read this article, that will approve this portion
of Mr. McPherson's Where is th- rr an j
that will dare say that lie endorses directly and |
positively the Abolition of slavery I Has Re- 1
publicacisrn come to this in Bedford county,
that the Helper Book is to be endorsed and tti
mer) v. 1.0 . ecnrr mT.deii its incr # ary doctrines,
to be sustained ? It cannot be. How
ever trurh th- Ir .<,, s s ci .j,,. Opposition
may be opposed to th- Democracy, thev 1
cannot, will net swallow HELPERfSM.—
The leaders may be ready ond willing to do •
it: the people, neve.-. The record of Ed ward '
McPherson will be condemned and Ns vote for :
JOHN SHERMAN, the fl-lper candidate far j
Speaker, will be m-st effectually rebuked.

is going to press, we can only announce the
gratifying fact that our townsman, HON. W
j P. S< HELL, has received the unanimous nom
ination ol the Democracy of the District, as our
' candidate for Congress. This is glorious news
not only for the people of Bedford county, but
for the Democratic parly everywhere, 33 th-
iec'nn of Mr. Scbeil is almost a certainly.—
The nomination ot Mr. Scheil j S hailed with
the greatest delight and enthusiasm bv his nu
merous friends, an.i the people of the District
rally to his support, irrrspective of party ties or
political lias.

of the Democracy, as that reported in this issue

j poles and hoist flags, it is your duty as good
Citizens, to iet those flags and poles alone.—
Don't molest them. We want them to stand,

Rainsßurg, Sept., 6th, 1860.
Ma Editor :
I presume a diorf account of a mee
ting of the D-mocracy of Rainsburg and vicini
ty, far in- purpose of erecting a Foster pole,
will not prove uninteresting to some, at least,
of the numerous readers of your glorious inde- :
pendent herald of D-mocracy. On 'Tuesday, j
the fourth inst., we called a special meeting tor
I the above named purpose. The ladies who°had j
ri charge th- rfi*king of our flag, s->on comple
ted if, some twenty of thern having engaged in ;
t "he gor ion s work. It is neeai....sto soy that it j
was made with that exquisite taste and beauty,
which always characterize the workmanship of!
toe ladi-s. At half past nine o'clock we com
me need raising the pole, and amid the enthusi-'
astic cheers of the Democracy, Hs tall lop soon j
pi-rced the clouds, and the beautiful Fester flag
hearing thirty three stats, was Hung to the
bre. z-, bidding d-iianc* to the Curtinnns and
♦•u'fKiJy heads/' I hfee cheers were then given
tor FLnry D. Fost-r,alter which a speech fconi
Prof. William P. Toiteo, was loudlv call-tl f)i>.
The gallant Professor unhesitatingly responded,
and io an able and eloquent address, set forth
the true character ofthe Abolitionists, and urged
the importance of uniting on one electoral tick
et. A tier Professor Tot ten had concluded, Mr.
J. Livingstone offered the following resoiu- 1
tion : "* j
That the Democracy of Rainsburg .
and vicinity do express their sincere anil cordial '
thanks to the (air and patriotic ladies who con
struct-il our beautiful flag, th- emblem of truth
liberty, an.i democracy. May their fives
prove as puie arid faithful ar at present, arid
thev will most certauiiy realiz- the favours and
bles-.n/s, not only of freedom and liberty, b:it
th-smil-s of heaven."
Mr. Living-tan-'s resolution was loudly
cheered. Dr. J. F. Totlen was ihrn called fir,
who spike eloquently and ab.'v upon the polili
cnl aspects of the day. He argued the folly of
i/iespht of the only national party in existence
upon a oiete trifle, urging all parties to unite
and try to-v— rnmate that hydra-headed mon
ster, id Jack Republicanism. Dr. T.isa promis
vng Young man, endowed with a clear, logical
o imf, and great force of thought. He was in
terrupted, several limes, during the course of
his remarks, t>y bursts of applause. The meet
ing then adjourned. Colerain is O. K. X,
