nUDAY, It till MARCH n, 186a.
The Huntingdon "Globe."
We have a vory few words for the editor of the
Huntingdon Globe, whoee name is Lewis —Let
not any of our readers suppose that he is ofjkin to
the notorious David Lewis, for the exploits of
that chivalrous gentleman on the Bedford aud
Chambersburg turnpike, were of a more honor
able character than those performed by his mod
ern namesake on the Pennsylvania canal, the
Pennsylvania railroad, and latterly, on that
much frequented line of travel so popular with
political rogues, the Underground Railroad.—
This man Lewis is a great patriot— a roaring,
ranting, raving "war-man"—a fellow who hates
peace, loves carnage, revels in blood and snuffs
be smell of gunpowder afar off. Once he was
only a Democrat. But that was when Frank.
Pierce was in the Presidential chair, and Wm.
Lewis was Postmaster at Huntingdon. When
James Buchanan came into power, Lewis sud
denly became disgusted with the duties of Post
master, the Presideht having put a stop (called !
a Colon) to his official labors, which at oneejjput
a period to his existence as a Democrat. Ever
since that eventful time, Lewis has been & pa
triot, which, according to his understanding of
the term, is to oppose Democratic principles,
vilify Democratic men, disorganize tho Demo
cratic party, and to be well paid by tho Aboli
tionists for these services. Last week, his pa
triotism demanded that ho should misrepresent
the meaning of an article which recently appear
ed editorially in this paper. With a mendacity
that would have done honor to Ananias of old,
be charges us with calling upon the people "to
resist the Marshal in the discharge of his duty."
If Lewis was sober when lie wrote this, ho knew
it to be false. We have never, not even by in
nuendo, said or written one word intended to
Incite tho people to physical resistance of the
officers of the law. What we hare done, has
been to make the minions of the present corrupt
and tyrannical Administration (such as patriot
Lewis) odious and despicable, in order that lion
set mon and truo friends of the Union may bo
legally placed in power in their stead. But if
Lesvis deems us guilty of "treason," let him
have us arraigned in Court and tried. We are
ready and willing to face him or any other of
the pampered blood-hounds of the Administra
tion at the bar of public ju3tico.
Our globular accuser also talks about some
body denying reinforcements to the Federal ar
mios, and asks, "Who but a traitor can stand
idly by and refuse reinforcements?" We an
ewer, who more than William Lewis "stands i
dly by" and refuses his own precious carcass as a
•"reinforcement f" His rotund and burly body
would serve to # stop ns many rebel bullets as that
of any other man of the same size. Why, he is
* traitor by his own confession. Where is tho
.gibbet! Up with him!
As to the personal fling in which this virtu
ous gentleman and intense patriot chooses to in
dulge, etyling us "poor," Ac., we have but this
to say, that if we had deserted principle for the
eake of the spoils, if wo could have been mean
enough to be a "rat on the canal or a catspaw
for a corporation, or if we had taken the blood
money which this war brings to the pockets of
some jieople, we might be about as rich as Will,
iara Lewis. Let the patriot of the Globe batten
Upon the miseries of the people, let him enjoy
the crumbs which fall to him from his Wash,
ington master s table; let him howl for more
battle, more bloodshed, more weeping widows,
tnor* wailing orphans, more squalor, ragged*
nees, penury and crime, and let him receive his
pay for doing so; but as for us, give us poverty.
In preference to such self-degradation, nnv, give
us death rather than such ahject slavery to the '
foulest passions and to wicked men who play ;
npoa them for their own base purposes.
The Democrats have carried Reading by 230
majority. Since the advent of Know-Nothing
iam, Reading has been Anti-Democratic. The
Democracy also carried Harrisburg by 42 ma
jorily over a War Democrat supported by the
Abolitionists, for Mnyor, and by nbout 150 on
the judges of election. York and Carlisle have
also gone Democratic, both of which, until the
last year, have liecn earned by our opponents.
In our own county, the Abolitionists oarried
but 6of the 22 districts. The ball is rolling!
Tho Huntingdon Globe calls Hon. Johfl Cess
na a "Copperhead, r forgetting that he did as much
for the war as any man in this section of tho
State. We refer to'thie merely to show that no
matter how strongly in favor of the war a dem-!
ocrat has been, if he doesn't go over, body and
Ureeclies, to the Abolitionists, he is denounced
by the latter as a "Copperhead 1"
Senatorial Conference.
At the request of the Somerset Conferees we
publish the following call for a ro-oasembling of
tic Senatorial Conference:
A meeting of the conferees from the counties
of this Senatorial district is requested to assem
ble at tho public house of John Hafer, in Bod
ford, on Wixjneeday of April Court next. The
conferees from Somerset county were absent at
the former meeting inconsequence of notioo giv
en them that siiid conference would not be held at
that time. It is hoped there will bo a full at
tendance at the tiroo above mentionod so as to
■ave difficulty in the State Convention.

BEDFORD BOROUGH ELECTION, j
iSplendid Democratic Triumph I
Every officer elected, but one, Democrats!
'
Copperheads About!
At Hie election held in this borough, on Fri-:
day last, the democracy achieved a signal victo
ry. The whole Democratic ticket, with a sin
gle exception, wns elected by more than the u
sual majority. Mr. Alex. Henderson, the late
High Constable, was elected Constable, on tho
Abolition ticket, by a very small majority.
Last year his majority was 50; this year it is
10. The Democrats of Bedford borough will
hereafter say to Mr. Henderson, as some 25 of
his former friends said to him this timo, ' • You
arc in the wrong boat! Get out of.the Abolition
ship, or we, your personal friends, must let you
sink ! You are a good fellow, hut good fellow
ship is no salt to savor had politics 1 The hand
writing is on the wall! Road and bo warned I"

Bedford Township Election.
The Democrats of Bedford township, cover
ed themselves with glory, on Friday last. Tho
whole Democratic ticket was elected by major
ities ranging from 117 to 130. Heretofore,
the Democratic majority, at Spring Elections,
was about 30, sometimes a littlo moro, some
times considerably loss. This portends a sweep
ing vote for tho Democracy at tho Fall olection,
and all that is necessary to make a second Cum

zation and a full and energetic canvass. The
following figures look wholesome:

MR. EDITOR :
I Bend you below tho return* from our
township, glorious old St. Cluir. You will per
ceive that "wo havo met tho enemy" and rout
ed thorn, horse, foot dragoons, "nigger brigade"
and all. Although they had a candidate thut
run Harefoottd and thoy tried to Ooer-coma us
by every possible Way, Thomas included, we
beat them in a very Sleek manner and Taylortd
them into tho bargain, though we do not Mock
them, as they would us, were thoy in our stead
on the judge question. But puns aside (and I
suppose you think tho foregoing awful) the Dem
ocratic party of fit. Clair township ha\e cer
tainly done wonders. In a township that was
wont to give a majority against us of 100 to
125, we have elected our whole ticket, by from
15 to 25 majority, and this, too, with a very
full turn-out. Tho Abolitionists used every ef
fort to get out their whole vote. Their old anil
docrepid were hauled to the polls and every ex
ertion possible was raado by them to defeat us,
but all in vain. St. Clair is now (thanks to
the firmness of the old Democrats,, and to the
intelligence and spirit of tho old Whigs who are
now now, but docided and active Democrats) a
fixed nnd reliable Democratic township. Ido
not say this boastingly, hot gladly, for I beliovu
that St. Clair has done in itd' anCe what tho
people must do every whore to save the country,
rally to the Democratic standard. The voto

For the Bedford Gazette.
One Hundred Years Ago.
In tho summer of 17(53, the country west of
Shippensburg was at the mercy of the savages,
and the people were obliged to quit their farms
and seek protection in the towns. Forts Bed
ford and Ligonicr still held out, though belea
guered by the Indians, and at Fort Pitt—now
Pittsburg—the supply of provisions was too
small to sustain a long siege, there being in it
nearly six hundred persons, 200 of whom were
women and children, who had taken refuge there.
Col. Boquet was, therefore, sent to their relief,
with about 500 men. Ho marched in July,
and, having relieved Bedford and Ligonier, ad
vanced towards Fort Pitt. When less than a
day's march west of Ligonicr, near Bush v Run,
he was suddenly attacked by the Indians, and
j only escaped the fate of Braddock by his supe
rior knowledge of their mode of warfare. After
a desperate conflict he completely routed and
dispersed his assailants, with a loss of 11(5 men
and 8 officers killed, and a great many wounded;
the Indians lost 60 warriors. After the battle,
[ the army marched unmolested to Fort Pitt, re
j lieved the garrison, and supplied the post with
arms, ammunition and provisions.

Swarming of the Medical Hives.
CONSOLATION FOR THK SIOR.
Considering tho enormous /lumber of young
M. D.'s that our medical colleges turn out eve
ry year, we certainly ought (if there he any
virtue in "regular physicking") to be a much
healthier people than we are. But the bills of
mortality no not shorten as the list of doctors
lengthens. Quite the reverse I Shall we say,
than, with Macbeth, "Throw physic to the dogs,
I'll none of it!" No, that will not do. Na
ture, when attacked by disease, needs an ally to
sustain her. Au ally, remember; not a deple
ting agent, that helps the disease and exhausts
her enorgies. We verily believe that most of
tho drugs administered in acute diseases have
this effect. Such, however, is not the operation
of one medicine now generally used in tlii3
country for complaints of the stomach, liver
and bowels. \VO mean HOLLOW AY'S FILLS. —■
Of course our readers are aware that both tho
Ointment and l'ills which bear the name of that
distinguished physician and philanthropist arc
in the highest possible repute all over the world.
but we liavo only bad an opportunity to wit
ness the effects of tho Pills. It gives us
pleasure to testify to their efficacy. In dyspep
sia and liver complaints they unquestionably
work the most marvelous cures. Nay, we
will even go so far as to say that, with this re
medy within their reach, no man or woman
need ever be long troubled with dyspepsia. The
pills remove the distress at the stomach, and re
store the strength and appetite with a rapidity
that is really astonishing. The curative action
seems to be the same in all cases, without re
ference to age, constitution, or sex. Such, at
least, is tho conclusion to which our experience
and observation point.— New York "Advocate."
