Mass Meeting of Loyal Citizens.
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

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.

but now a resident of Carlisle, is at present so

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.

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

days at o'clock. On Sabbath morning, 21st

mence a series of discourses founded upon that
important passage of Scripture, which occurs in
Pliilippians, 2 eh., s—ll verses. Several of

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

"Monitor," and we hope it may cultivate it suc

A CARD.
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. Any person de
siring this infamous traducer's name, can have
it by calling upon the

Kimraell, W. M. Hall, Esq., lion. W. P. ScheU,
O. E. Shannon, Esq., Gen. A. 11. Coffroth (of

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.

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.

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

in every man's knapsack. Only 25 cents per

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.

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

thus fighting about two hours the enemy ad

place to the original camping ground. Hero
