•THB BEDFORD GAZETTE M FOBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING BY B. F. BEYERS, At the following terms, to wilt $1.50 per ann U in, CASH, in advance. - $2 .00 • " if paid within the year. $8 .SO 0,000,000 to the tax bill; making Pennsylvania's share §31,000,000, or thirty dollars to each tax payer, to be handed over to the collector every year. Assuming the national debt, then, to be, at the ,closc of the war, §3,500,000,000, the Stale's share of it would be about $350,000,- 000, to which add the existing State debt, and we have about§3!)0,000,000"as the grand total of State indebtedness.—§l3o to every man, woman and child in the Common wealth. Arid remember fuither, that Abraham Lincoln, Republican, or, which is now the same thing, Abolition President of the United Statos, La's issued his proc lamation declaring his purpose to emanci pate all tho negro slaves in the U. Stales— those of rebels to be freed without compen sation; those of the loyal to be paid for. There will, therefore, be at least one fourth of the slaves to be paid for—that is about one million. These, at the compen sation paid to slave owners in the District of Columbia, (three hundred dollars,) would cost the nation three hundred millions of doliars more. And men* President Lincoln i 3 determined to colonize the negroes—four millions of them in all. How much more would that cost, supposing that it could be accomplished ? Not a cent less than $1,000,000,000. Keep it before the people, then, that The WAP DEBT and the NEGRO DEBT that this Abolition Administration will entail upon the nation, if it is not check ed by a change in Congress, or by other means, before its designs arc accomplished, will not be less than §4,500,000,00011! Of which Pennsylvania's share will be about § 150,OOO.oOJ!!! On which the yearly tax would be $27,000,000111 In addition to the Slate tax now imposed to pay the expenses of Government and the interest on tho forty millions of dollars State debt. Or, in round numbers, each tax payer Would have to pay yearly thirty-eight dol lars And iifty cents national tax, imposed by this Abolition-Republican Administration. Keep these facts before the people, and lte4p before them too, the disgraceful fact that the President of the United States, an , Abolition Republican, declares in his Eman cipation Proclamation, that this Government if ill do no act or acts to repress slave rebell ion. These are his words: "That on the Ist day of January, in the yea* of our Lord one thousand eight hun dred and tixty-ihree, ail persons held as slaves within any S ate, or any designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward and forever free; ancT the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and jtoaintain the freedom of such persons, and vnll do no act or acts to repress suck per sons, or any of them , in ANY EFFORTS THEY MAT MA KE for tkeir actual freedom f" Remctnber that tills cqJJ-blooded invita tion to insurrection and butchery comes from •^theßepublican President of the U. States, apd that every vote cast for Republican udndidfttes for Congress or the State Legis lature, who stand pledged to a blind, un questioning support of the Administration, will be a vote in favor of this atrocious dec laration, and of increased debt and taxation to maintain the supremacy tuid infamous pohey of the Abolitionists. People of Pennsylvania awake! Arouse to action! Strike down the nefarious, incen diary, blood-thirsty Abolition parjy! Strike for Congress, for the Legislature, for the Constitution and the Union, as they came from the hands of the Fathers, and as you ahonld transmit them to your posterity! Patience ia exhausted, the country trem bka-npon the very brink of ruin—the con stitutional liberty of the white man is threat ened —the equality of the negro i 3 proclaim ed/ Strikes then—strike all, and strike home!—Harrisburg Pat. eaml or been represented by a living personification of a human being. Their names being on the pay rolls renders it certain that some person or persons have drawn the salary of these two thousand myths, and that the people have been grossly robbed out of their hard earnings; and thc.ir names appearing on the rolls of the Quartermaster, renders it cer tain that their rations have been drawn by some individuals, and sold for filthy lucre, as there were no mouths to eat them. This, however, is not the main injury the Government and the people have received ; but when the service of these men was wanted, and the insurgents were pressing hard upon our worn out and tired sol diers, these two hundred thousand men were needed to ta-nt back the enemy and nssist our soldiers in the unequalled fight; but they were not there; they were myths, and the President was deceive J, and the people were deceived, and our soldiers were % murdered because they were not there to help thein. A heavy load of guilt rests upon the Leads of the wretches who have thus robbed the people and slaughtered the nation. We would rather have a millstone tied to our necks, and he east into the middle of the sea, than to be compell d (o answer before God for a deed so atrocious and foul. That the devil has a mortgage on their souls there can be no manner of doubt; and it can never bj obliter ated, for it is an unpardonable sin. The perpetrators ol' this monstrous crime should be ferreted put at once, and caught, the President would receive the plaudits of the whole country if lie would cause these fellows, to be Constitutionally arrested, tried and hang ed. Mercy to sucli creatures is cruelty to the whole people and to the lovers of liberty in all parts of the world. To hang them is to deal leniently with them in comparison with their crime.— Greensborg Argus. STRAKOK BUT TUBE. —Capt. Klotz, of Clar ion, came to this city yesterday with a company [ from Clarion county, composed of ninety-seven men, every one of whom is a Democrat. A company from Clarion could not well be any thing else than Democrats, but it is singular that there should not be a single Republican in tho company, especially when the fact is taken into consideration thnt the Republicans are pa ving the way for a defeat this full by declaring that all their voters have gone to war!—Liar risburg Union.

VOL. 6. NO. 10 A Religious View of the War. The following communication is from one of the most gifted and discreet clergymen of a Bor der Free State:— Catholic Mirror. Messrs. Editors: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation," &c., Jam. 1, 27. If this be the ease, as infaliible truth hath de clared, what must we think of clergymen—■ ministers of "the meek and lowly Jesus"—who in the temple of the living God can proclaim, "that it is humanity, it is mercy' to send down upon the unfortunate and erring South, hun dreds of thousands of men armed to the teeth —to destroy, to annihilate human beings of our own race—misguided, it is true—but still rc claimable, not incorrigible, not beyond the pale of conviction. It is lamentable to think that, in our philanthropic age, such language should be used by u class of men whose calling is peace. If this language be held by one, high in spiritu al position, it is still worse, more censurable, as it encourages others in inferior grade, to depart from their vocation of mercy and good will to all. How unbecoming for one elevated to lofty dignity, in "the House of God," to oppose the philanthropy of- St. James ; so that his words, instead of exciting men "to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation," are calculated to make orphans nnd widows on a large scale indeed. Whatever we may think of lay-politi cians, (for they are of the work!) there can be but one opinion as to a religious man or a Chris tian minister, whose position the Prophet thus describes; "gild yourselves and lament, Oye , Priests 1 Howl ye ministers of the Lord, go in sackcloth, ye ministers of God, because sacri fice and libation are cut off from the House of your God." It becomes the ministers of the Most High to 1 be jieace-makers, to weep over the tens of thou sands slain, "in Israel," overtaken by sudden and unprepared-for death. "The man of God" can never hound on men to death, or exult in their destruction, unless there be a well groun ded hope, that their death is "in Jesus," or ac cording to all human appreciation that their lot will be with the saints—"in bliss." It is worthy of being remembered that the Church of which its highest and lowest' func tionaries are, after all, but mere officers—has decreed that any one high or low who contri- I butes to blood-shedding, is irregular ; which, if 1 the party be of clericul order, means that he is i debarred the exercise of his official powers. r t' | j':s 'uufji ilunt OOT.VK Lib.
