TVe are not, nor is it necessary on any ac count ihat we should be, the personal champion, eulogist or apologist of Hon. JOIIN CESSNA, but we fee! it to be our duty to applacd 'lie con duct of that genileman in Uie good fight he lias fought for the rights ol the people of Bedford county. A great wrong, ri outrageous fraud had been committed upon our people, by politi- j ca! trirkst".-?, in connecting Bedford with Som erset in the apportionment of 1557, Lr mem bers of the House of Representatives. There was but a very slight difference in the number I of t3xables of the two counties, and the legis lature, by giving two members to the district,! conceded that each county was entitled to a member. But in order to make good use of the large Republican majority in Somerset county, •u other words, to put it within the power of i that majority 10 elect tiro members in/tead of j one as it had formerly done, the two counties ware hitched fog"lh?t to elect ibeir representa tives rn common. This was intended not only to elect two Republican m- mbtrs, b't also to defeat the choice of the people of Bedford coun ty. Our people were to be rendered practical ly voiceless in the populai branch of the Gene ral Assembly. Under this apportionment it was a certain and fixed impossibility to have any other representation of r.*r county a; ihr tisburg, except such as the pnjple of Somerset county in their superior knowledge of our lo cal interests and t*i ir undoubted generosity in .political matters, should fee fit to grant us. In fart, old Bedford—the m other of counttes—was disfranchised and mad*' a mere dependency, or appendage or her daughter Somerset. Tiu the-voters of Bedford county, though they went to the polls from time to time and indicated their choice for re; ese.ifatives Lv deci-h d rra joti'i.s, were always overruled in their pref-r --er.ces by the voters of Somerset. In 1557, 1858, 1859, and 1869, Bedford county cast a majority of her votes fur candidates whose olec * " i:cn was oof. ated only by the people of Somer- j set. Not once, until now, did the candidate' who was the choice of the majority in this coon- | ty, übii'-i i feat in the House. Not once since the rus.- gc of the apportionment bill of 1557, were the people of B■ dfurd coun'y represented j in the legislature, bv the man chosen by 'heir j voter. Was nut this monstrous"? Was it not : really the most abject political s'avery to which , one people can bind another? Yet there are those to be found who condemn and revile Mr. j Cessna for his manly effort to lift this incubus J from the people of Bedford county. There are I those who, to their shame be it said, because Mr. Cessna's success in cutting Mr. Household- j er may prove injurious to their political plans i or aspirations, denounce the act that restores to ' Bedford county the rights filched from her by j the "gerrymander" of ISD7! Such men can have none but venal motives. The standard of ; right by which they measure the conduct of j others, is poised invariably by throwing their own interests in the balance. But their num-; ber is few. Disappointed office-seekers may mar! and growl "Republican" pol iticians may fret and fume—but their i!l-humor cannot affect the sober senses oi a thinking, free and independent people. The great popu lar heart heats in enthusiastic approbation of the policy of Mr. Cessna, — not because it was his policy—not because oi the personalities con nected with it—but because thereby a great wrong bus been righted, because it has restored to the people oi Bedford county, the political right 9 guaranteed thven in the fundamental law •M the State. Better Late than JSeeer The question is asked, why did not Mr. Cess- j : NA, or sdme of those who sympathised with him , in his contest with Mr. HOUSEHOLDER, bring the ; j constitutional question involved in the case to . the notice of the legislature at former sessions ? i We answpr that three years ago, we made in ; these columns the very point upon which Mr. Cessna has been awarded his seat. In conjunc tion with a number of the leading Democrats | of the count v, we frequently urged the propri ' efv of testing the mat er before the legislature. But the conclusion was always arrived at, that ; the people of the di-trict would eventually a | iOi to the vindication of thru rights and re : buke thpou f rageous "gerrymander" at th* polls. At the Iste election it was ardently and confi j dentlv expected, not onlv by trie Democrats of the county, but by the very im-n who now an- j : tagoniz- 1 Mr. Cessna, that the choice of B-dfor' | countv would not be overruled by the peopieof} : Somerset. So rieep-sea'ed was the hope, that he! few of the Anfi-House'iol'.ler Repuolicans entertained anv fears of Mr. Cessna's deieat when it was found that his majori'y in this coun ty, was up wards of 1009. hut this hope, nev ertheless, proved i'lusory. The grand cflorl to overcome the dictatorial majority of Somerset, was u failure. Notwithstanding all Che Repub- j can leaders in JJedford borough labored with a'! j their might igainst Mi. Householder, —notivith- s'&nding the unparalleled treachery to that can didate of which the very men who assis'ed in nominating him. were guilty—resulting in an. overwhelming vote for Mr. Cessna— Somerset willed that a icjority of a thousand for the Democratic candidate in this county, should go j for nought and mat J.!r. Householder and no!j Mr. Cessna should represent us at Harrisburg. ; It was, therefore, concluded that it would be vain for the pe >ple of Bedford county to at- , tempt to express their choice for representa'ive, j so long as it was admitted that Somerset had the j right to annul that choice. Hence th a determi nation was at last mnle to deny the right of Somerset to this dictatorial power and to test ■ the issue before the proper tribunal, the House! of Representatives, which could be done only in the form of a contest of the seat of Mr. Mouse holder by Mr. Cessna. This was the only way in which the wrong could be righted. It it was a wrong, then, fur Somerset county to die- j tate to Bedford (her equal in every respect.) was j it no! right that Bedford ,-hould have restored to her that constitutional protection against such dictation to which she is rightfully entitled ? And was the restoration of that protection less; proper because i'. was not claimed from the Jpg- i islature at an earlier period ? All admit th° wrong ; none will deny the justice of the rem edv • iherefore, the righting of the wrong,, though late, was "belter !a!e than never." TFTVe have been overstocked, for some! time past, with obituary notices alrposi inter mifusM'- in length, generally combining ever v i sty if of elegiac writing, m prose and poetry. It j is impossible for us to publish at length; all o! ; these productions, and we hop**, therefore, we j will be excu?"d if we fak* the liberty to curtail j some of them. Oiher newespapera make it ■ a rule to charge half advertising rates for a)! o- j bituaries over ten lin a s in length. We have never dpnr.anded this, nor have we ever received s cent for publishing obit uaries. But we cannot find room for so many long notices, as are show ered upon us, pleased as we will be to receive and publish shorter ones. We shall be tom pei ed to decline half and quarter column obit - uar.is in the future, unless paid for. M-an •vhile we shall freely and gladly publish them ■f of proper *!. r.-^lh.

S line fit of sickness is creeping upon yon, and should be averted bv a ttrr.efv use of the right remedy. Take Avers Pills, and cleans'* out the disordered humors—purify the bloo.l, and let the fluids move on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate Ihe function* ot the b. dy int. vigorous activity, purify the system tram (he obstructions which make disease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and ob structs its natural functions. These, if not re lieved, react upon themselves and the surround ing organs, producing general aggravation, suf fering and disease. While in this condition, oppressed by the derangements, take Ayer'* Pills, and see how directly they restore the nat ural action ot the svstern, and with it the buoy ant feeling of health again. What is true and so apparent in this trivial an! common com plaint, is also true in many of the deep-seated and dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Cause;!
