WHO ARE THE SLANDERERS OF MAJ.;
TATE.
Fiom the very day that Maj. Tate received i
the Democratic nomination tor Prothonotary,j
a certain politico-legal firm m this place,
d etermined to attack and pursue him to the bit
ter end. All the vile slanders that could be I
ie°purpose of preventing his re-elec
tion. He uce it is that the" blood-hounds bave
been put upon his track. Hence it is that the
♦'Republican" organ in this place teems with 1
falsehoods maliciously intended for Maj- late s i
injury. And why this persecution on the part
of these politico-legal gentlemen ? The an
swer is easy. Maj. Tate, as Prothonotaiy of
Bedford count v, tor the last three years, has
discharged the duties of his oifice in a proper
and efficient manner. A lawyer tunnel], il
was unnecessary for people who had business
in Me Prothonolarifs office, to fee a lawyer to
to assist them in having their business attended
to. This, of course, kept hundreds of dollars
o! Ices out of the pockets of the lawyers, and
~ ved them to the people. This is # the reason
why Jordan Co. have gone to the trouble
>d hatching up their falsehoods against Maj.
Lite. It is all a matter of dollars and cents
with them. 1 hey want BOWLES elected,
so that they can gel more fees. The people
know this and they intend to give Maj. Tate
at least 300 majority.
A SMALL UI SIN ESS.
It seems that the Honorable Edward Mc
l'iu i.-on lias become so scarce of materials for
his speeches that he is compelled to stoop to
the small business of assailing Mr. Schell be
cause he received S7OO per annum whilst a
member of the Slate Senate. This forms the
taole of the Honoiahle gentleman's recent
-peicl.es. The Covode Investigation, the Tar
.l', the slavery question, in short ail ttie great
issues of the day, are merged, (in Mr. McPher
m's estimation) in that of Mr. Schell's pav as
a member of the Senate. And yet Mr. Mcpher
son lumselt receives the KAFKA PAY of
S3OOO per annum established by the Opposi
tion Cougress of IS.ib, and whilst he is assail
nig Mr. Schell lor receiving £><oo, carries in
his jackets lour times that amount taken from
the Public Treasury, some of which, we are
told, lie is now using tor electioneering purpo
ses. McPherson forgets, 100, to inform the
people tfiat A. K. Me''Ll KH the Chairman
ui the Republican Sia'e Committee and Senator
front McPherson's own rii<!ric?, took tlie S7OO
alaiy. He lorge|> (<> state thai AUSTIN,
a Republican member fioni Kullon county, did
ttie same thing, ami tfi.it CEO. , W.
WILLIAMS, late member fmm this county,
likewise pocketed the S7OO. Truly, Mr. Mc-
Phetson is a profound statesman and a libetal
ui I magnanimous opponent. 1

Tnrili:
A number of persons are now busily engaged
HI travelling over ihe county, circulating tlve
charge that Mr. Schell is opposed to the taiifi, ;
when thev know the charge is false.
Any ieasonable, reflecting mind will perceive
at a ala nee that Mr. S. is too deeply interested
in the tariff'to i>e opposed to it.
His whole property depends, for its value, on
the completion of our rail-way and the erec
tion of iron works. No motive is stronger than
self-interest. As well might Mr. S. bejeharged
with being in favor of editing off Ins light arrn.
as to say lie is hostile to a tariff.
tied ford county is one of the richest iron ore |
coumits in the State. Hut lor want ol capital, j
tier mineral wealth lies undisturbed beneath her
lulls. To complete her rail-ways—to establish i
her furnaces and forges—to open up her mines,;
and to make her hills and valleys productive— |
capital is u anted. That capital must be brought
from the Eastern cities into th- county.
To accomplish that object, some person prop
erly qualified, must give his time anil attention
to the matter. We must point out to capital
ists our inexhaustible resources . that we have
coal, iron oteand June-stone inclose proximity,
that iron can be manufactured here cheaper
than anywhere else in the State. Who is there
in the district so willing, so competent and so
effective- as WILLIAM P. SCHELL? Asa
private citizen he can do much ; but give him
the official position of a member oi Congress,
and vou strengthen his influence ten-fold..
He was instrumental in bringing over $'2,000,
000 of capital into Bedford, Fulton and Hun
tingdon counties, in the construction of the
Broad Top Rail-Road. What he has done lit
can do again.
Defeat htm—strike litm down and you de
stroy his influence.
Who will take his place? Who will givethe
same care and attention" to the interests of the
jieople ?
Elect Mr. Schell, and your public enterpri
ses will flourish.
Defeat Mr. Schell, and they will languish.
We ask the people to ponder well before they
listen to the svten voice of the aich persona!
enemies of Mr. Schell.
PEICE Mi\ OF H EDFOii D lOl'STl!
A political party lias recently sprung up in
our midst which organizes its young ami active
men into MILITARY COMPANIES, places
torches in their hands and martial music in their
Iront, and marches them about night after night
in the most rigid anil peifect drill. What does
all HPS warlike preparation mean ? What is
its object ? There is danger ahead ! Danger to
our country ! Danger to its peace ' Danger to

A. New Convert.
Our particular friend, (IEO. S. MI'LLIN,

county, whilst on an electioneering tour recent
' ly in Southampton township, told a critam

The hall still keeps rolling onward. A mass

THE "WIDE AWAKES" l.\ HTXTI\GDO\.
During the recent Fair in Huntingdon, the "Re
publicans, ' as usual, would have their military
"Belsnick.'es" out on parade. As the cars
were coming along, the "Wide Awakes"
crowded on the pavement and some of the
spectators blinded by the glare of their lamps,
upon [the .railroad track. The train
swept along, and two immortal souls were
ushered into eternity. We are informed that
a number of men threw down their torches
and declared they would never touch the
;toolish mummery a^ain.

"An' are ye a Democrat ?" a.-ked Pat

"Why no !" replied the Captain.
"Well, thin," was the ready response, "1

PRAISE FROM AN OPPONENT !
The following article is clipped from theTv
rone Star, a Utll and fjveivtt paper :
Jehu Scott, Esq,
Tilt indications, as we are pleased to leam,
are that this pure and high minded gentleman
will be elected to the State Senate bv a hand
some majority. It is true that in Somerset,
where Air. Scott is comparatively unknown,
his opponent will receive tns usual party major
ity which is large, hut in find ford and Hunting
idon, where botnai- known, and particularly
in the latter count), where both reside. Air.
; Scott's majority will be large enough to over
j come the vote ol Somerset, with a margin to
! spare. This may appear strange to persons at
a distance, who know the political complexion
of the dull ict, but we Jo not exaggerate when
we say that it is seldom any party brings for-
J ward a candidate such as Air. Scott is. Of the
j highe>t order ot intellect, he has never aspired
ito political fame. A lawyer of the most bril
liant attainments, he lias ever been honorable
'and straightforward m his professional career.
Although a Democrat iu his political views,
yet he has always l>ern conservative, and nev
er erther a blind partisan or a politician. He
is a man whom the ivhole people can place im
plicit contiJence in. He has scores ol attach
ed friends and warm admirers in every politi
cal party, and there are some sections of Hun
tingdon county in which we are assured bv
leading Republicans he will carrv lh" whole
j vote, irrespective of party prejudices. As we '
remarked before, it is not often such men are
brought lorwaid for political otfice, and it is re- ■
freshing, in the midst <>| our present political '
excitement, to see men lav down the weapons i
of political warfate, and unite thus in support 1
ola ir:an because lie is both honest and capable, j
tVe have never voted a Democratic ticket in '
our life, but it would give us great pleasure to
cast a vote for .Mr, bcoit, were we a resident oi
tiis district.

Sehell have grown desperate and are

Don't be Deceived !

MR. EDITOR :
thinking that a short commu
nication (rorti tin- region, might not prove unin
teresting, 1 will give you a lew idea* as to how
our recent examination of Teachers passed oli
&c., Sic. Thursday, the 27th, a.s per notice of'
the Superintendent, the Teachers met in this
borough, there being fourteen present in all
besides the Dilectors and spectators, amon?
which latter was the worthy Superintendent ot
Somerset county, Prof. Siutzman. Exercises
commenced at about 9 o'clock. A. M. By
noon Orthography, VV lit ing and Grammar had
been disposed of, when we adjourned with t
promise to m-et Mr. S'utzman in half an iiour
to have an exercise on the elementary sound,
ot tin* Alphabet. According to promise, the
Teachers and many others were on hand. A
chart being constructed on the olack-board, w.
proceeded in a very pleasant concert recitation
alter which we had a lecture from the Superin
tendent. The time having arrived for our ex
amination to proceed, Mr. Stutzman adjourned
his lectu'e until evening, when we again met
j and had another verv interesting time. And
here I might as well notice that tile "dt-j übh
' can Wide Awakes"' were going to have a grand
.Mass meeting in town on that evening, sneak
; erf from Bedford being present. Owing to the
! inclemency of the weather tlie plan ol holding
it on the street was given up lor that of bavin?
i it at the school house, the upper room being
, left for that put pose; but by the lime the Xot
mal cla:s was in operation in the lower room,
i the political meeting was nonest inventus, and
[ Ihe speakers, after having the drums beaten a
while, gave it up in dispair. So ended the
. grand "Republican" Mass meeting at Scltell--
burg. 'l'lie class exercised in concert a while,
: iioth in Phonetic spelling and in reading, and
were addressed again by the Superintendent on
■ the duties of the Teach-r as well as the best
modes of teaching, when we adjourned sine

That unblemished and self
, sacrificing pat riot, Maj. Daniel Washabau-rh,
• paid this region an electioneering visit tiie
j present week. He poured out wormwood and
gail upon the head of Hon. W. P. Scheil. We
•II know whence conies his bitterness toward
a iran who, instead of living oil ol Bedford
; county like Maj Washabaugb, has done all he
could to build up its interests. The little Ma
jor wanted to be President ot the Bedford Rail
j road Company, and Mr. SCHELL was elected
instead of him : that's what accounts lor the
bitter milk in the Major's cocoa-nut. We are
not to be operated upon by any man, or sotf ol
