"ILl!""" ■ 1 - Democratic County Convention. In another column will be found the pro ceedings of the Democratic r ouniy Convention which met in this place on Tuesday last. We call the attention of our Democratic readers tc those proceedings, and invite conservative met of all parties to a critical perusal ol the platforrr of principles laid down in the resolutions adopt ed by the Convention. Tr.e ticket lormed by the Convention is un exceptionable throughout, and will be electee without doubt. In the selection ol the nomi nees, as well as in its action on the platform the Convention was entirely harmonious. Th idea o( Fusion was indignantlj- scouted Wd re jected, not a man of all the delegates entertain ing it in the remotest degree. Thanks be t( the good sense and patriotism of the founirj Democracy, we have a pure, straight-out Dem ocratic Ticket, placed upon a sound Constitu tional platform, untainted and untouched will fanaticism of any sort. For Associate Judge we have Gen. JAMES BURNS, ef Juniata t-p. Though not an aspi inducement to the friendc of those who had ac tively canvassfd for the nomination, to mak< him a common ra I lying-point and the compro mise candidate ot the Convention. No bettei man could have been selected. But the peo ple of Bedford county know and appreciate th character of Gen. Burns t x> well to make it ne cessary for us to attempt any remarks in his fa vor. He has led the Democracy to battle when the prospect was gloomy and almost hopeless, and twice did he sUp forward as the standard bearer in the foilorn hope of the Legislative Ticket in this benighted ftepublican|District Democrats love to support a man who is will ing to be the candidate of his party in adeem as wrll as in hopeful circurr.staryres, and now that they have it m their power to rewaid (hit old war-horse of Democracy for his faithfulness in the past, they will do it with that alacrity and enthusiasm which can spring alone fiom generous and giat. ful hearfs. For Treasurer, Maj. A. J. SANSOM receiv ed the nomination. We might speak of the service* rendered to the party by this member of the ticket from his earliest manhood; tic might dwell upon his qualities as a friend and neighbor, his fidelity as a Democrat and his res pectability as a citizen ; but those who are to pass upon his claims to the office for winch he has been nominated, know hiin as well as we do, and we can safely trust his case in their bands. We will say, however, that Major Samom is an excellent business man, that the finances of the county will be safe in his hands, and that, should he be elected, the people of Bedford county will never regret the choice they have made for the office of County Treas urer. For Commissioner, PHILIP SHOEMAKER, of Colerain, is the nominee. Mr. Shoemaker is an old aod respected citizen of the county, a man of eminently correct views in regard to the administration ofthe affairs of the county, strictly uptight in ali his dealing-?, economical in his nut ions ol public expenditures, well qual ified to detect any irregular itier, or loosen, ss, in the disbursement of county funds, and has been a lifelong and unvarying Democrat. His election would secure a valuable accession to the board of Commissioners. For Poor Director and Auditor, we have, respectively, HENRY WERTZ, ol funor land Valley, and DANIEI* L. DEFIBAUGH, of Snake Spring. Both of them are good men and would fill the higher offices on ihe ticket with at much credit as they will those for which Ibey are named. The oljeel of the Conven tion was to select the very best men for &i the offices, aod in our opiraon it was eminently successful. The names of many good men—men wbo stand just as fair t>e/re the p-t.pfe as Jhos wbo were nominated, .vvert? fej.*<-t-d only on the undeniable principles that all tbe good rnc- terial could not be made use of at once, and that we must hold some over for the future. Lo cality, too, had to be consulted, a9 no good gen eral would crowd all his forces into one fort, and allow the enemy to run riot over the whole country outside. Democrats of Bedford county! We have an excellent ticket, standing on a sound platform; let us go to work and elect it. THE RESOLUTIONS. Let every Democrat and every conservative man read the Resolutions adopted by the late Democratic County Convention, published in another column. They embody the true doc trine—the doctrine of the Constitutional Union men of the country—the only trne and consis tent triendsofthe Union. We will stand by those Resolutions, no matter who leaves (hern ; we will adhere to the sacred principle of Con stitutional LibeTty which they enunciate, in spite of mobs, civil war, or the bioodiest of an archies. Upon that rock we plant our banner, and there it shall remain so long as we can write a line, or utter a syllable. Eslo Perpelua! gentlemen composing the late Dem ocratic County Convention, have our heartfelt gratitude for the endorsement which they were nleaseci to give us. The members of thai body will bear us out in saying thai we did not ask it, which makes it, however, all the more grat ifying- ' Ferry has been evacuated by the Confederates. This, it is said, by those whopr-tend to beau fait in strategics, will place ■Gen. Scotl on the defective for a time. There is no doubt that the evacuation of Harper's Fer ry, was a part of the programme of the Seces sionists. f£F*The Governor of Illinois has appointed 0. H. Browning (Republican,) U. S. Senator in place of the lamented Douglas. It was sugges ted that as the "Republicans" were anxious td "drop politics," a Democrat should fill out the term of Douglas ; but it seems the "Reps." wert only joking when they spoke out tn favor o; dropping politics. Union Democrats have been elec ted to.Congress in Maryland and three Union Americans. Henry May (who supported Douglas last fall) beats that infamous demagogue, H. Winter Davis, over 2000 votes. - Mr. May endorses fudge Taney's decision in the Merry- I man case.

Resolved, therefore, that we desire the pres ervation of our democratic principles, and we h-rebv instruct our delegates to place in nomi nation none but good men and democrats, who ate faithful and honorable and support the U nion and Constitution. Resolved, That attacks upon citizens of this Township, calling them Tories, Traitors, Seces sionists, we treat with silent contempt,'cutisid ering the source trom whence they came.

Schell and George Elder. Said Committer, through their.Chatrman, re | ported the following resolutions, which were u j nanimousiy adopted : RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, The Democratic Party, for years past, in its Conventions, State and National, and through its presses and by its representa tives in Congress, denounced the policy of eg tablishing sectional parties, holding that the j success of such partiea would inevitably result in a bloody and horrible civil war, And where as, The prophetic warnings upon this suhjeet uttered from tirr.e to t.me by and good men of the Union, are now fuliy ver ified io the present deplorable condition of our beloved country, And whereas, We are un willing now to renounce the opinions hereto fore entertained by us as to the causes which operated to bring about the difficulties in which the nation is involved, or to stultify outs-lves by endorsing the political doctrines and pol icy whose triumph in the last Presidential e iection has so fearfully imperilled the perpel uit v of the Union, Therefore Resolved, That as the Democratic party has stood bv the Union and the Constitu tion, in peace and in war, through good and 1 - - *- * # * t ' 1 - J I too to that party, its piinciples and usages. Resolved, That whilst the pres-nt civil wai was none of our seeking, and whilst we depre rate and deplore its existence, and earnestly hope and pray for the early restoration of an honorable peace, as Demociats who have always been truelo the Constitution, and whose fealty and devotion to the Union are attested by tlie whole history of our lives, we feel it our duty to sustain the Federal Govern ment in the exercise of all its Constitutional lowers in its efforts to maintain its integrity and the continuance otour glorious union. Resolved, That whilst as Demociats and pa tiiots we believe it to be our duty to support and sustain the Government in all its Consti tutional acts, in every emergency, yet we de sire "Republicans" so culled , distinctly to un derstand that we will not and cannot be dra gooned into the support of Abolitionism in aoy fcrm. Resolved, That we regard the Constitution ot (he United Sates as the only bond of un ion between the several States and the only rule of action to be obs-rved in the present condition of our country, that we will support it, as we have always done, in all its parte, rn its letter end spirit, and in our interpretation of its meaning on controverted points, we will be governed by the decisions of the Supreme Cour' of the United States, believing that the decrees and decisions of that bcanch of the Gov ernment should be respected arid obeyed hv ev ery law abiding and patriotic citizen. Resolved, Tint we denounce nv>b law in ev ery form and under any pretext whatever, whe'her exercispd by Secession conspiratpis at the South, or fanatic enthusiasts at the North, i and that we are for the enforcement of the laws, j in the proper and lawful form, against offenders in all par Is of the country. Resolved, That we look upon the.doctrine of interference with the institution of slavery in the slave Slates as preached by fanatics at the North, and the doctrine ol Secession as promul gated by conspirators against the Union at the South, as equally subversive of the Constitution, •he liberty of the people and the safety of the nation. Resolved, That the Administration of An drew G. Curtin meets with our hearty disap probation, and especially in i's management of the military affairs of the Commonwealth, it deserves and should receive the unqualified con demnation of every patriotic citizen. Resolved, That the evidently corrupt Bnd fraudulent disbursement of the liberal appropri ations made by the fate Legislature lor the sup port of the military of the State, as exhibited in the imposition of rotten uniforms and insuf ficient and unwholesome rations upon the brave soldiery nfur Commonw-alth, should beat once Corrected and those guilty in the premises severely rebuked and punished. Resolved, Ft.at if any person nominated by '.his Convention, or by the Conferees appointed by i, should accept a nomination from anv o- Iher political body, his place shall be declared vacant on the ticket, and the Democratic Coun ty Committee aru hereby empowered to 5Jt the vacancr. RreolodJ, That Hon. Job. Mann, Wis Mi Pearson and B. F. Meyers, be appointed Con ferees to meet similar Conferees fjom Somer sei county, should such Conferees t>e appointed, to nominate candidates for the legislature, g,y --og them power to appoint substitute*. Resolved, That Hon. W. P. Schell, John G. Hartley and Oliver E. Shannon, be 'appointed Jud'cial Conterees, to meet similar Conferees from the counties of Franklin, Fulton, and Som erset, io put in nomination a suitable candidate for President Judge of this district, giving them power to appoint substitutes. John S. Schell offered the following addition al resolution : Resolved, That the Bedford Gazetie is an ef ficient and reliable organ of the Democratic Patty and that we cheerfully recommend it to the patronage ofthe public. Maj. Patron moved to amend, by adding, "for its f°arless and independent course." The amendment having been accepted by Mr. Schell,the tesolution as amended, was u nanimou*ly adopted. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for candidates for the office of Associate Judge, Treasurer, Commissioner, Poor Director and Auditor. Dr. J. D. Noble was appointed Teller.— The following gentlemen were selected as candidates: For Associate Judge, GEN'L. JAMES BURNS, of Juniata. For Treasurer, MAJ. A. J. SANSOM, of Bed ! foid Borough.

The movement in the lowa Legislature, look ing to an amicable 'etitlement of the present national troubles, has been promptly followed up by a similar one in the Legislature of Con- j nect icut. The following resolutions, which are almost identical with those offered in the lowa j Senate, have been introduced in tbe latter body, j and three hundred copies ol them ordered to be 1 printed: IHE FEACE RESOLUTIONS. WHEREAS, At this period nearly one half of j the States of the American Union have tak-n upon themselves the responsibility of withdraw- | ing their duty and allegtarrce from the Federal Government, and have, in a nieasute, establish ed a Confederate Government, separate from the Government of the United States, and establish ed a Constitution, Republican in form, and have sent Commissioners to the Federal Government to negotia'e relative to the property and lights ol the separate and contending parties; Aud WHEREAS, It is not only desirable, but in dispensable, to the security and welfare ot the people of the United States that terms of peace i and conciliation be arranged between the differ ' ent portions of this country, now in a state of war, before the bitterness o! fraternal stnfe and bloodshed shall make arrangement impossible ; And WHEREAS, The necessary consequence of such a war would be the mm of thousands of loyal citizens in the States now seceded and those of other portions ot the Union, none ol whom are in any way responsible tor the f<at ricidaf war now commenced in our unio-lunate country : And, believing, as we do, that the calm patriotism aud sober reason of the Aemer ican people may yet decide, upon honorable terms, the existing troubles: And, believing that Civil War, if persisted in, and pursued with the malignity which always characterizes sucn conflicts, will only terminate in an overwhelm ing indeoieduess, public and private, without ! benefitting either of the parlies to this unlorlu ! nate controversy, and in a Military despotism, | under which the liberties of the people will be disregarded, and the butchery of the tunocent and loyal citizen, as well as ot tile guilty, be the consequence, such a war, we believe, ought to be, if possible avoided, as being unreasonable i unpatriotic, and anti-Chi i.lian Therefore, Resolved, That the Senile of the Stale of Connecticut recommend to the Government of the United States, this their most earnest appeal that while every preparation for the defense add maintenance of the Government shall be made, a cessation, if possible,of any further hos tilities may lake place, until Congress shall have j lime to act in the premises, i Resolved, That we recommend to Congress 1 the call ola National Convention for the s-t --| llement ol our national difficulties, and that ev ery possible, honorable means shall be first ex hausted by the National Government before our prosperous people be plunged into a civil war, the uhimate result of which the wisest caorct foresee. Resolved, Thai we arc opposed to civil war, prosecuted for the subjugation or destruction of j the seceded States, while it is possible, amicably ■ to settle the drflicutties now existing. ! Resolved, That we aie opposed to tire prose ! cut ion of a war against the seceded States, wa- I ged under any circumstance?, for the purpose I wCerroagctntUne the slaves in the Southern slave- Resolved, That the clerk of the Senate be in structed to forward a copy of these resolutions to the President of the United States, and also one to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress. WHAT W E FIGHT FOR The New York Timts says : "The struggle is not, on the part ol the North, for the overthrow of slavery. It is not a war for emancipation. It u not an attack upon the institr.tinns of the South. With sla very in the Slates the North has nothing to do claims no right to interfere with it there. But the North, the East and West will defend ' the Constitution will uphold the Onion. The [ millions of the Free States have resolved that | ih s Republic shall not be overthrown." If the whole Republican press and the lead ing men of that party would preach this doc trine, honestly, ue should soon see a "united North" upon the subject of the war. But as long as such ii'.'Quential men as Governor An drews, of Massachusetts, and such papers a* his organ, the B >stun Atlas, contend that "the meaning of this fight is the doom of sla very," and insist that slave insurrections shall be promoted and excited by our troops, so long will ten thousands of honest men and true pa triots not only keep aloof from all particpation in the deplorable strife, but raise their earnest protest against it. Every good citizen, and especially every Democrat, is ready to fight for ttie Reservation of the Government, and the integrity of the Con-dilution and the Union, but not for the atrocious objects aimed at by these miserable demagogues whose course and counsels have brougt upon the country its pres eut and prospective calamities.— Beaver Star. The Army Supply Swindles. Until the resignation of Mr. Purvianc*, Gov ernor Curtin's Attorney General, we tried to make ourself believe that much of the complaint of soldiers about the clothing and provisions furnished them by the Governor was not well founded. But every day has brought us new light upon the sutject, until there can no long er be a doubt ol the most rascally swindling op era'ions having taken place under the eyes of the Governor and apparently with his approval. Our soldiers have deen fed on rotten meat their unifoims when furnished after weeks of anxious waiting,were ol such materials as would not hold together a week, and in many cases not over a day. The companies now uniform ed by tbe Stat*, are already in rags—their con dition being such as to bring down upon them the ridtculc of the well clad military of the oth | er States.' Pennsylvania is disgraced—and who is to blame? Not the patriotic people of the Keystone. Governor Curtin has had abundant means placed in his bands to clothe and leed our brave Pennsylvautans coniloitably and as respectably as any soldiers in the army. But has he done it 1 He has permitted, if he baa not aided, a set of men worse than the Southern ' rebels, to swindle the State and to bring disgrace upon it and our soldiers. We shall wait anx- ! iousfy for a f.ilj exposure of the ravraiifiee of the men who have been fattening upon money co freely appropriated for tbe comfort of the sol- j diers of the good old State of Benosylvania The disgrace upon our Stat* m ist be Wiped out, evn should it ' e necessa-y to wipe out Gov.

One of those remarkable coaster oat uau winch sometimes take place in armies on battle fields, was witnessed yesterday in this city I appears to have begun in the office of one of the mbrning papers, and spread with rapidity through the ranks of the war party in all parts of the city. The celebrated panic at Solfertno (lea by the Editor ol the N. V. Times) was re pea'ed in New York, but with another leader But the cause of the fright was far different Will it be believed that the Editors of our va rious papers were yesterday thrown into a fever of anxiety and agony by a rumor that it wat possible tbe present troubles of our country might be ended without bloodshed, and all ths attendant horrors of civil war ! It appears to have been a shock to these bloodthirsty gentle men, such as they could not abide. The rumor frightened them into the most lurious condition One and another was affected by the contagiar, and by evening the city was in general asloun ded by the horrible truth that there were men who dared to talk of peace , nay, that it was e ven a possible thing that their talk might a mount to something ' Never was danger so threatening ! Never did the country stand or. the brink of such aprecipiceas this idea of Peace' One of them declares that "the great peril of the Republic now imminent" 19 a plan for pears which is believed to be on foot. We confess our own joy at these statement, in the war pap* rs ; and we know there are hundreds of ihousands who will rejoice at the news from so unexpected a source, of a strong and vigorous eflmt at closing the war. This panic in the Republican press cannot be whol ly without cause, and the peace makers (who are blessed) will wait with anxiety to join in the movement when it becomes more public. But who cau observe the condition of ou' country, and read the lurious war-cries of these gentlemen, without shame 1 This war began ; with a early whose motto was avowedly, "Cir : il war preferable to slavery in the territories ; With all the horrors of war upon us, with pov erty around us, and our best blood North ant? | South already pouring out on the field, tbpss lovers of war still repeat the crv—still ssv, wr, lapmrrjirwyi tuuiurr, auytntng i rather than a compromise." God has been very good to us. He has bles sed this nation above all the nations of the earth. He has led us through the struggle for Indeper ! dence, through many trying petiod6, and has given us wealth and happy homes more than are to be lound elsewhere in any nation. But the magnificence oi Hi? mercy is displayed m this more than all else, that His lightnings are stayed from the work ol destroying utterly those m-n who would to day plunge us into a fratri cidal war, when the opportunity of avoiding it 13 open, and might be accepted but for their fu rious political enmities.— J -urnal of Commerce THE GIiILTI PARTY. Thc'public indignation against the immense' frauds that have been perpetrated upon the volunteers ol Pennsy Ivania, by furnishing them with uniforms of the moat inlerior quality, ha* become so strong that all those who have had anything to do with the contracts for supply ing them, are vigorously st-tving to clear their skirts of the responsibility. Erom thi? very lact many rich facts are being brought to light. George M. Martin, of Philadelphia, through whom the contracts were made, hat, as a matter of self-defenoe, made gome rich revelations. He declared when brought to task by some of the offiicers of Camp Scctt, a few days since, that he had only acted as the agent of Gov. Cuilio ; that the material was waa designated by our delectable Chiel Migil (rate, and that he (Martin,) makes not one cent of profit out of the transaction. Those kind hearted individuals in the community, who have endeavored to apologize for the State Administiation and who have used their ut most ex-rtions to convince the people that if these outrages diJ exist, Governor Curtin war innocent of the swindle, will now have to com bat some very ugly sacts. If Governor Cur tin is not implicated in these affairs, it devolv es upon him to prove it. The case forth# Commonwealth has been clearly made out; it-ir now for the defendant to refute the charge* brought against him. A gentleman asked us the other day if there was not some plan by which the Governor could be deposed. There is none other than by impeachment before the Senate and unfort unately the Legislature does not meet, unlew at the special call of this man Curtain, until next Jaouary. There is one thing, however, that can be done. Public sentiment will rec tify the evil, if the public journals of the State will have the manliness, without distinction of party, to come out and denounce it. We therefore calf upon the gentlemen of the Re po-itory and Transcript to be as good as their pledge, and lav aside party distinctions. An drew G. Curtin is no belter than any other rascal who would cbeaHhe Commonwealth aod ! the country in times like these, even if he was j unfortunately elected Governor of Pennsyl*®' □ia by the Republican party. Let the gentle man speak out : public sentiment demands it , every other paper in the town has done so. When the administration of James Buchanan became demorlized and corrupt, all the inde pendent Democratic papers, which did not look for the'rr substance to the Government pap de nounced it in plain and bitter term*. —Now, wh--n the shoe is on the other foot, let our Re publican friend* do likewue. —CAcwSewbiflY 7W,
