In accordance with a resolution of the Dem ocratic State Central Committee, adopted at Philadelphia, July 29th, 18G2, the loyal men of Bedford county arc called upon to assemble at the Court House, in Bedford, on the evening of WEDNESDAY, September 17th, 18G2, at seven o'clock, P. M., for the purpose of celebrating that day as the anniversary of the day of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. Able speakers will be present to ad dress the mooting, and a general attendance is urgently requested. J. W. LINGENFELTER, Chairman Dem. Co. Committee. Congressional Conference. The Democratic Conferees for this Congres sional district, will meet at McDonald's Hotel, 5 miles West of McConnellsburg, on Thursday, 11th inst. j-nc ,->enaioriai district, will meet in Bedford, on Wednesday, 10 th inst. The Draft Postponed. Tlio conscription in this state has hecn post poned till tho 15tli inst. This indulgence has been granted by the Governor in order to ena ble the various districts to furnish their quota, if possible, by volunteers. We are pleased with this lenity and hope that it will be properly re sponded to by our people. According to our calculation, we arc about four companies in ar rears in this county. This deficiency can cer tainly be filled by voluntary enlistments before the 15th. The districts that have furnished the fewest numbers of volunteers in proportion to their population, should at once move in this matter, and thus save themselves from the im pending draft. We can assure our friends that there certainly will be a draft, if the volunteers arc not forthcoming. Come, young men with out families, now is the time and now is the hour to save your townships from misery as well as dishonor! Will you volunteer*or will you be drafted? The Meeting on Monday Night, The Democratic Meeting on Monday night last, was, in overy respect, a perfect success. Considering the fact that there has been a stu dious and determined effort made to ignore par ty politics for the present, the party in power threatening with great vehemence all who dare to oppose its schemes and plans, the Democra cy of our county made a rally, on this occasion, which was truly gratifying to every true lover of our imperilled and unhappy country. The meeting was very large, the crowd not being a ble to find seats in the Court Room and filling up every passage and corner from which tho speakers could be heard. We hail this outpour ing of the conservative people of the county, as a good omen and say to the Democracy, now that the ball is started, keep it rolling till the second Tuesday of October brings us the glad tidings of a grand and overwhelming Demo cratic triumph. CsTWe aw credibly informed that some ma lignant scamps in South Woodborry township, have forwarded a list of Democrats in that neighborhood to Harrisburg, with the recom mendation that they be drafted, tlnis showing not only their malice, but also their ignorance- Keep cool, boys ; the Democrats will quietly submit to the laws, but you had better not attempt any ,foul play. ttirGen. G. W. Bowman, late of this place, but now a resident of Carlisle, is at present so journing' at Bedford Springs. The numerous friends of the General will learn with pleasure that ho is in the enjoyment of good health and Will be glad to have tlje opportunity of once more taking him by the hand. C2"IIon. Ed. McPherson, in liis speech at the Republican meeting on Tuesday night, attempt ed to dofend his votes for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and the Confisca tion Act, by saying that it was necessary to pass these acts to saw the Union. Is the U nion any safer now than it was beforo these en actments? Is it not in greater danger? Is en cumbering the Government with the expense of boarding and clotliing thousands of thriftless, worthless negroes, any help to the imperilled Union? Have theso enactments caused Union sentiment to increase in the llorder States, or have they encouraged enlistments in the North, or inspirited and cheered on the army already in the field? Alas! no. The contrary is true. Mr. McPherson is greatly in the wrong and can not. escape the consequences of his votes. • (B*Our preacher-fighting knight of the quill on Juliana street, is "down on" the ovations given to Gen. Corcoran, and says that that gal lant officer "distinguished himself accidentally" at Bull Run. Such accidents can be produced whenever a battle is fought, provided the offi cer is not a skulker and has not the cowardly instincts of that class of miscreants who, while they stay at home, urge others in the same cir cumstances with themselves to enlist. But we aw not surprised that this valiant home-guard objects to the tributes paid to the brave sutlcrer, Corcoran, lie is an Irishman and a Democrat, which fact, of course, is sufficient to damn him in the jaundiced eyes of this prejudiced scribbler. ®3"As the Pastor of the M. E. Church will be absent for the two following Sabbaths, there will be no service in the church on the morning of the 7th, or the 14th irisf., but Prayer Meet ings will be held in the evenings of both those days at o'clock. On Sabbath morning, 21st inst., Providence permitting, the Pastor will com mence a series of discourses founded upon that important passage of Scripture, which occurs in Pliilippians, 2 eh., s—ll verses. Several of the scries will illustrate and confirm the precise nature assumed by Christ in the Incarnation. 3""T1io proof of the pudding is the eating of it." Why don't the Republican township lead ers who think there are no good Union men but themselves, jump into the military harness and act out their doctrines. The Democrats arc rightfully and manfully stepping forward to take up arms in defence of their country, and these Republican brawlers stay at home and black guard better patriots than themselves. Shame on such poltroonery! 0"A new Democratic pnjtcr has l>een started in Huntingdon, entitled "The Monitor," All>ert Owen, editor and proprietor. The "Monitor" presents quite a neat appearance, and evinces much ability in its editorials.

Poor fellows, what a "mix" they are in! fjrLook out for all kinds of electioneering canards against the Democratic candidates. The "Republicans" are trying to move heaven and earth to injure our candidates for Commissioner and Poor Director, two as good and upright men as can be found in the county. Watch, Democrats! Beware of falsehoods! ea-Thc "Republican" meeting on Tuesday night, was a complete fizzle—a flat, stale and unprofitable flounder—sans numbers, sans en thusiasm, sans everything that goes to inspire a party with hope or energy. #r3"A.

Whereas rumors intended to bo detrimental to my integrity as a loyal citizen, are being cir culated throughout the county, 1 deem it due to myself as well as the political party on whose ticket I have been placed as a candidate, to brand all such rumors as false and without foundation. I have never taken part in any meeting, as alleged, whose object was to resist the draft, but on the other hand have encour aged volunteering, recommended submission to the laws, and have offered and do now offer to do what I can to support the families of soldiers in the service of tho Government. I have ta ken the pains (perhaps unnecessary) to trace the rumors to which I have referred, to their source, and have found that they originated with a bit ter and unscrupulous partizan belonging to tho opposition party, whose character for truth can be easily ostimated, when it is known that ho has been lately under bonds in a large sum of money for his good behavior.

Meyers and Hon. John Cessna. The speakers were frequently and loudly ap plauded. After the passage of the following resolutions, the meeting adjourned with three cheers "lor the Union and tho Constitution, and the Democratic party, to restore the one and maintain the other." Resolved, That tho Democracy of Bedford county, in mass meeting assemble.!, hereby en dorse and adopt the following Preamblejjmd field at IlarrisliiVrg on the 4th of July last WHEREAS, The Constitution was ordained and established by our fathers in or der to form a more perfect Union, establish jus tice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of self-government and liberty to posterity; therefore, Resolved, I,* That the only object of the Dem ocratic party is the restoration of the Union as it was and tho preservation of the Constitution as it is. Resolved, 2, That to the end that the Union bo restored and the Constitution and laws be enforced throughout its whole extent, we pledge our hearty and unqualified support to the Fed eral Government in the energetic prosecution of the existing war. Resolved, 3, That the true and only object of the war is to restore the Union and enforce the laws; such a purpose is alone worthy the awful sacrifice which it costs us of life and of trea sure; with such a purpose alone can we hope for success—and those who from sectional feel ing or party or private motives would give any other direction to the efforts of our armies, are unjust and unworthy to be entrusted with pow er and would cause all our exertions, extraor dinary and unparallellcd as they are, to prove futile in the end. Resolved, 4, That we justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades some of the departments of the federal government, and that a return to rigid economy and accoun tability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treasury by favored par tizans; and that in view of the startling devel opments of fraud and corruption at the federal metropolis and throughout the country, we hold nn entire change of administrative policy to bo imperatively demanded. Resolved, 5, That the party fanaticism or crime, whichever it may IHJ called, that seeks to turn the slaves of the Southern States loose to overrun the North and enter into competition with the white laboring classes, thus degrading and insulting their manhood, by placing them on an equality with negroes in their occupation, is insulting to our race and merits our most em phatic and unqualified condemnation. Jiesolred, 6, That we denounce Northern Abo litionism and Southern Secession as the co-opera ting sources of our present calamities, alike trea sonable to the Constitution and inimical to the Union. The only way to a restored Union and a respected Constitution, with returning peace and prosperity, is through the overthrow of both. ltesoloed, 7, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania is equally opposed to all sectional legisla tion ami geographical parties, which base their hope for continued partizan success, on the a grarianism of emancipation and the hypocriti cal philanthropy of Abolition, because neither is known to the Constitution and both are in tended to aid disunion and subvert the Consti tution, and to prevent the restoration of amity, peace and concord among States and people. Jlesolvcd, 8, That the Constitution aud the laws are sufficient for any emergency and that the suppression of the freedom of speech, and of the press, and of the unlawful arrest of citi zens, and the suspension of the writ of habeas corjtus, in violation of the Constitution, instates where the civil authorities are unimpeded, is most dangerous to civil liborty and should be resisted at the ballot box by every freeman of the land. llesolved, 9, That this is a government of white men, and was established exclusively for the white race, that the negro race are not en titled to and ought not to be admitted to polit ical or social equality with the white race; but that it is our duty to treat them with kindness and consideration, as an inferior or dependent race: that the right of the several States to de termine the position and duties of the race is a sovereign right, and the pledges of the Consti tution require us, as loyal citizens, not to inter-- fere therewith. llesolved, 10, That Congress has no power to deprive any person of his property for any crim inal offence unless that person has been first du ly convicted of the offence by the verdict of a jury; and that all acts of Congress like those lately passed by Congress, which assumes to for feit and coniiscate the estate of men for offen ces of which they have not been convicted up on due trial by jury, are unconstitutional and lead to oppression and tyranny. It is no justi fication for such acts, that the crimes committed in the prosecution of the rebellion are of unex ampled atrocity; nor is there any such justifica tion as State necessity known to our govern ment and laws. llesolved, 11, That the Constitution and U nion and the laws must lie preserved and main tained in all their proper and rightful suprema cy, and that the rebellion now in arms against them mast lie suppressed; and that it is our du ty to use all constitutional measures to that end. llesolved, 12, That the soldiers composing our aimics merit the warmest thanks of tho nation. Their country called and nobly did they respond. Living, they shall know a nation's gratitude— wounded, a nation's care, and dying, they shall live in our memories, and monuments shall be raised to teach posterity to honor the patriots and heroes who offered their lives at their coun try's altar. Their widows and orphans shall be adopted by the nation, to be watched over and eared for as objects worthy a nation's grat itude. Resolved, That we ratify with pride and plea sure the nominations made by the late Demo cratic State and County Conventions, believing that the nominees endorse the foregoing exposi tion of Democratic principles, in letter and spirit, and recognizing in tlicm gentlemen in every way worthy of the support of patriotic and Union loving citizens. Resolved, That the failure of the present "Kc publican" Congress to legislate efficiently and wisely for the necessities of the Government and the people, demands imperatively a change of representatives in the National Legislature, and we, therefore, pledge ourselves to co-operate with the conservatives of all parties to bring a bout so desirable a result. To the end that cor ruption and fraud in tho administration of the Government may be put down, Constitutional liberty upheld, the army and navy properly sus tained, and the war brought to a speedy, suc cessful and honorable end, we heartily and ear nestly recommend the union and co-operation of all citizens opposed to the legislation of the past session of Congress, in an effort to prevent the return of the present member for this dis trict. On motion of ITon. W. P. Sclicll, it was Resolved, Thivt township meetings be called, and that in case of the failure of the County Committee to meet, three members of said com mittee, shall bo a quorum, to call such meetings. ■"'•""JMa nI AT unrer.,—.-pciuu peculiarities of Dr. Ayer,s preparations is, that they accomplish what is promised for them. Who, in this community, does not know that of all the cough remedies the CUERKY PECTORAL is by far the best? Who that ever uses pills but will tell you AYER'S PILLS are at once the mild est and most searching, most effectual of all? Did anybody ever hear of his AGUE CURE fail ing in a single case ? Not an instance has been found where Fever and Ague has resisted the faithful trial of it. This may seem a bold as sertion, but we arc assured it is true. And still more important arc the efFeets of his alter ative called EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. One after another, patients come forth from their leprosy cleaned and purified into health, by this witchery of medico-chemical skill. Saturated with the accumulated rottenness of years, and poisoned by the corruption of their own blood, they could only live to suffer. This master com bination, purging out the foul impurities, has instilled the vigor of health, and restored them to the enjoyment of life again. If these are truth, and they are, should not our readers know it ? What facts can we publish of more vital importance to them?—(Courier, Princeton, Ky. A Silent Agent of Mortality, KEFI.HCT DEEPLY,—JUDGE WISELY. War, Pestilence and Famine arc looked upon as the most dire calamities to which humanity is subject; yet there is a silent agent at work among us, slaying by night and by day, whose victims are scarcely less numerous. The scourge to which we refer is the mat-treatment of disease. That thousands of human beings annually drug themselves to death, or are drugged to death by others, is a fact that no one will have the te merity to deny. The question is, cannot this evil be obviated 1 Are there not remedies in existence competent to the cure of nearly all the internal and superficial maladies to which our bodies are liable ? Dr. HOLLOWAY, certain ly one of the foremost physicians of our age, claims to have originated two preparations, a pill and an ointment, which strike directly at the germs ot disease in the blood and other an imal fluids, and obliterate them. Mow shall we test the truth of this claim ? If we call for evidence, we find that the witnesses in favor of the remedies arc "a multitude that no man can number." They are of all countries and races. The Chinese, the Malays, the South American Indians, the red men of our own territories, join with the civilized world in according to these medicines most extraordinary curative proper ties. \Ve see not how such testimony can be considered other than conclusive, on any logical principle. The immcuse consumption of the Pills and Ointment in all parts of the world can not be questioned. Wherever any product of civilization is sold, the;/ are sold; and wherever they have been introduced, they have become a staple. These are truths ;we leave the reader. to make his own comments.— Plymouth Jour. The Horrors of Wur can be greatly mitigated by that sovereign remedy, HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT, as it will cure any wound, how ever desperate, if it be well rubbed around the wounded parts, and they be kept thoroughly covered with it. A Pot of ointment should be in every man's knapsack. Only 25 cents per Pot. 227 j "Much of a Muohness." ' The quotation is not very classic, we admit, but wo are not fastidious about the use of terms when they suit us, and express clearly our ideas. It is sometimes objected that we con found the Republican with the Abolition party, when the truth is there are Mine Republicans who are not Abolitionists. Well, granting this, there is still so "much of a muchness" that we find it impossible to separate them, even were we inclined to do so j for what dift'erence does it make if there are some, or many, or a major ity of the Republican party who are not Aboli tionists, so long as its policy is controlled by Abolitionized Republican leaders, and the mass liill into the trap set for them, rally under the black banner, and give their influence and votes for representatives of Abolition ideas and prin ciples I The Bedford Gazette well remarks, con ceding the fact that some Republicans arc tree from the tuint of Abolitiouism, "it does not follow that the organization of that party, when controlled and managed by such Abolitionists as Benjamin F. Wade and Thaddcus Stevens, is not to be regarded and resisted as the agent and instrument of Abolitionism." Hon. Edward M'Pherson is instanced sis one prominent Re publican who is said not to be an Abolitionist, and the authority for this is Hon. John Scott, of Huntington. To this the Gazette replies: "Mr Scott your logic would storm a redoubt of doubts! We give it up! M'Pherson is no Abolitionist, though his vote stands on record for the abolition of slarery in the District of Co lumbia! M'Pherson is no Abolitionist, though his vote is recorded in favor of the confiscation bill, against Mr. Hohnan's proposition to re-af firm the Crittenden resolution which declared the only opject of the war to be 'to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitu tion and to preserve the Union!' M'Pherson is no Abolitionist, though as is well known and has been said of him by his colleagues (of his DWII party) in Congress, he is controlled and led by Thaddeus Stevens!" It will not do for the Republicans to shirk the responsibility of their position: they have voluntarily chosen it, and they must bear the consequences. It may be detrimental to their success to be called Abolitionists, that name not being very popular now; but as they have nev er hesitated to act :is cat's paws to Sumner, Grcely, Wade, Stevens, & Co., they must re main in that unenviable predicament until tncy relievo themselves by public recantation of past sins and follies, and openly abjure the alli ance. Until then, there is too "much of a much ness" to make possible any distinction between the wooly heads of Garrison and the snuff-col ored tribe of .Stevens.— Patriot and Union. SECOND BATTLE OF BULL RUN. Terrific Fighting for Three Days. The Whole Force of Both Armies Engaged. Thrilling News from the Battle Field! Our Loss not Less than 8000—That of the Enemy Double! Gen.

Onr troops are too much exhausted yet to push matters, but I shall do so in the course of the morning, ITS soon as Frrz-JOIIX POUTER'S corps comes up from Manassas. The enemy is still in our front, but badly used up. We have lost not less than eight thousand men killed and wounded, and from the appear ance of the field, the enemy lost at least two to one. Ho stood strictly on" the defensive, and every assault was made by ourselves. Our troops behaved splendidly. The battle was fought on the identical battle-field of Bull Bun, which greatly increased the enthusiasm of our men. The news just reaches me from tho front that the enemy is retreating towards the mountain. I go forward at once to see. We have made great captures, but I am not able yet to form an idea of their extent. * * JOHN POPE, Maj. Gen.

CINCINNATI, August 31.—0n Friday after noon, beyond Richmond, Ky., the rebels drove in our cavalry, when Gen. Manson, with the Sixty-ninth and Seventy-first Indiana moved up and after throwing a few shells the euemy re treated rapidly beyond Rogersville, leaving be hind one gun. Gen. Manson bivouacked for the nignt, and on Saturday morning advanced with two 4-pound guns, and coming up with the en emy, a fight began, attended with heavy loss on both sides. The enemy attempted to turn our left, when some sharp fignting occurred between the skir mishers. Tho 60th Indiana advanced through a dense fire of shot and shell to the relief of our skirmishers, and behaved like old soldiers, I but the rebels finally turned our reft fl'ank, and advanced in full force on our column when Gen. Manson ordered a retreat, and fell back three miles, reformed his line of battle onalfnh hill, with his artillery in position on the risht and left flanks. ° Firing by the artilleyy was now fecommoti red and kept up briskly on both sid6s. After thus fighting about two hours the enemy ad vanced on our right flank, under cover of the woods, and, after a severe fight, again succeed ed in turning it. A retreat immediately took place to the original camping ground. Hero General Nelson caine up, and, after great ef forts, succoeded in rallying our men and formed another line of battle. Our artillery ammunition was now nearly ex hausted, and some of our guns were left with out a man to work them, all having been killed or wounded. Gen. Nelson w:w wounded about 3 o'clock P.
