CLAIiKE, ITeachup in- charge New Volume. This issue begins a new volume of the Ga zette, the seventh of the serieß since our con nexion with the office. We tender our thanks to our patrons for their fast friendship during the past six years and hope to retain their good wishes and active support for the future. We would also take this opportunity to call upon our friends to come forward and sottlc. We need money and those who owe us for six, four and two years, will be expected to square their accounts, at or before the coming September Court. For The Union. The Democratic party is for the Union and no persecution of its enemies, no howling of the Abolitionists, no denunciation by Federal office holders, no mobs, no arbitrary arrests, no im prisonment in dungeons, not all the inquisitori al hoirrors of Jacobin Star-chambers, can make our grand eld political organization yield its at tachment to and reverence for the Union. The Constitution devised and adopted by George Washington, James Madison and Alexander. Hamilton, as the basis of the Union, is, there fore, the rock upon which Democrats build.— From this firm foundation the Democracy can never be driven. As well might their opponents expect the winds to level the Alleghanies, as to think of compelling the Democrats to desert this unshaken and indestructible ground-work of civ il freedom. Democrats cling to the Constitu tion, becauso the Constitution and the Union are synonymous. They adhere to both because the one cannot exist without the other. They * nre t for the Constitution, because it is the Union, and without it no Union would ever have ex isted. They are for the Union, because it is the Republic as established by George Washington and the patriots and statesmen who were his political compeers. Unlike their hypocritical opponents, the Democrats have always boon and are now the friends of the Union. Unlike Thaddeus Stevens, who declared in Congress, that the old Union should never be restored with his consent, they earnestly desire the restoration of the old Union. Unlike many of the Aboli tion leaders in this State, the Democracy cling to the Republic of George Washington, leaving to fools and fanatics the Utopian dream of a better Government than that left us as a pre cious legacy by the Father of his Country. The old Union is good enough for us, say the Dem ocrats. We want nothing better than the Gov ernment of Washington. Hie preservation of the rights of the States and the people accord ing to the Constitution, and tlxe return of the revolted States, are all we ask. Slavery, being a State institution, permitted by the Constitu tion, we will leave for State decision: by the Federal authoritieß, being, therefore, in opposition to the Constitution, and, hence, mor al treason to the Republic, we condemn and op pose. Such is the position of the Democracy, and this they will maintain to the end. The Name of Democrat. The Demoorate took up the nick-name of Lo co-foco and used it till those who gave it to them weja tired and sick of it. They have in the same way taken up the word "Copperhead,' and used it till' those who cast the slur have had it thrown back in' their face. We don't care what we are called, but prefer and Intend to call things by their right names. It is best—there arc only two parties now, and have been siDce the President's abominable proclamation—Dem ocrat and Abolitionist are the proper and legit imate names. By these names hereafter we are to know men, and as such—one or the other— we will horeafter treat them. Onr watchword then is Democracy against Abolitionism. The Union as it was against it as the Abolitionists want it. The Government of the United States against the miserable Abolitionists in power. Our policy is: Hurl them from power as fast as the elections come around, and save our coun try in its last throes for a national existence. Democratic Mass Meeting. A grand mass meeting of the Democracy of Bedford county, will be held at the Court House, on Monday evening of next Court week. Let the Democrats turn out in their strength. Let us have a grand old-fashioned rally. Distin guished speakers from a distance will address the meeting. A call will be published by the chairman of the County Committee in our next. Ovation to Ex-President Buchanan. On Saturday last a dinner was given to Hon. James Buchanan, at the Bedford Hotel, and the people of this neighborhood called upon the Ex- President in large numbers, to pay their respects to one whom they have always respected, but whom they now lionor more than ever, seeing that if his political views had continued to pre vail in the administration of the Government, we could not have had the present civil war, and Disunion would long since have died for want of nourishment. In the afternoon a num ber of the ladies called upon the Ex-President. Altogether, it was a delightful re-union of old friends, and we believe was one of the largest and most successful receptions, ever given in this place to any public man. The Opposition Ticket. The mountain labored, the Court House bell rang and rang again. Here and there, now and then, could be seen long-faced individuals, some times two a-breast, wending their way to the place of rendezvous. We saw no scarred or war-worn veterans among them—none of those same members, who, at their last meeting, fled at their country's call—to meet again. What a flat, spiritless alfair! But here is the ticket, with the characteristics of each nominee in brackets: Prothonotary —A. B. BITNN, [black and wool ly] Assembly —G. D. TROUT, [a little /&//.] Sheriff- —N. C. EVANS, (Abolition, after sell ing his wife's slave.J Judge— Witxi AM GETUART, [Democrat-Know- Nothing-Abolitionist, or any thing for Judge, a mixed, black and woolly.] Treasurer —JOHN G. MINNICIT, [lazy and wool ly-] Commissioner —WM. SMITH, [woolly.] Poor Director —JACOß EVANS, [black.] Auditor —HAßßY MOCK, [nobody.] So we go. We will not compromise on less than 1,000 over that ticket. Snil in. Democ racy against Abolitionism is the word. Choose ye whom ye will serve—the nigger or tlfe white man. Remember That the Bedford Inquirer , the organ of the Abolitionists in this county, recently declared that "of course" it is "opposed to the old Union!" This is the doctrine of the Abolitionists every where. They don't want the Union restored. Reason—the negroes in that case, would not be placed on an equality with white men. What do sincere advocates of the "war for the Union" think of this? Can they support such n party? Kentucky, Some of the Abolition papers affect great joy over the result of the election in Kentucky; but the truth of the matter is they are only whist ling to keep up their courage. Instead of be ing a victory for the Administration, it is an emphatic rebuke to it and its adherents. The Cincinnati Commercial, a "Republican" paper, says, "The campaign in Kentucky presented the peculiar feature of two Democratic tickets, both claiming to bo loyal." The Louisville Journal, which supported the liramlette ticket, (the successful ticket) says that "in the late canvass there was not a solitary paper in the state but earnestly opposed the ad ministration." It also speaks of the principles of the liramlette party as follows: "The platform of the Union Democracy of Kentucky is the platform of the Northern De mocracy, as represented by Gov. Seymour. Ev ery member of the Union State Ticket stands squarely upon this platform and within the sphere of his lawful power will execute the plat form to the letter." Again, Judge liramlette, the new Governor elect, said in a recent speech: "We are all agreed in opposition to the sus pension of the writ of Habeas Corpus, the Con scription Bill, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Confiscation Bill and tho arming of Negro Regiments. We all desire to get lid of them." When principles such ns the above are tri umphant, we rejoice, no matter what may be the name of the party which holds them. The Administration has boen completely routed in Kentucky—not milit:irily but politically—and so it will be in every State that votes in October next. Washington. The gratifying intelligence has been received that the Democrats have carried Washington Territory by a large majority. The revolution has been commenced on the Pacific coast Look out for California. IRON CITI COIAKCE, PITTBHURGH, PA. —We were surprised on visiting the College a few days since to find it completely filled with a most interesting and industrious class of yong men. The immediate and constant attention of the Principalsto their students secures to them the very highest advantages, which is evinced in the steady and regularly increasing demand a mong business mei> every\\ v here for graduates of this school, as every student is thoroughly and carefully instructed, and NONE but compe tent accountants are ever awarded the Diploma of the Institution.— Pittsburgh Morning Post. C3TRev. Jas. C. Clarke announces the com mencement of a Camp Meeting near Bloody Run, on the 21st inst. This notice would have been published lost week, but owing to our ab sence from home, the letter containing it, was not opened in time for insertion. Wc owe Rev. Clarke this explanation. Car The Democratic County Committee met on Saturday last and unanimously elected as their chairman, John P. Reed, Esq., of this bo rough. The appointment could not have fallen upon a firmer Democrat or more active and en ergetic man. CJ-Col. J. Ross Snowden, formerly Treasu rer of the Philadelphia Mint, is now at the Bed ford Springs. Abolition State Convention. The Abolition Ship Collapses a Flue! Cameron and Forney Floored! Curtin Renominated! A GUAND FLARE-UP! Hisses, Groans and Discord! The Abolition State Convention met. at Pitts burg, on the sth inst., and after a very stormy session, renominated "Shoddy" Cur tin for Gov ernor, and Daniel Agnew, of Beaver county, for Supreme Judge. The so-called "War Dem ocrats" were not in demand. The offices are too big to give away. Cameron and Forney labored bard to beat Curtin, but "Shoddy" An dy had the convention packed on them and they were sent "hissing to their holos." Twenty of the delegates refused to endorse Curtin's nomi nation. The Pittsburg Gazette and Dispatch., both Abolition papers, predicted Curtin's defeat, if nominated. Woodward will beat Curtin at least 40,000. Hurrah! There's a good time coming!— The following account of the pro ceedings of the Convention, is from the Phila delphia Inquirer, an orthodox Abolition sheet. Read it; it is rich: Hon. W. MCKENNAN, of Washington, offer ed the following resolution: — Whereas, An antagonism, at once deplorable and bitter, has sprung tip between the friends of the two leading candidates, V. PICKETS, 55TH P.V, ) Port Royal Ferry, S. C., July 20, 1863. ) MU. EDITOR: This being "rest day," I will give you a few lines about affairs in this department. The health of the regiment is very good. It is spo ken of as being the healthiest in the South. We are on picket at Port Royal Ferry, and often have a chat with our "friends across the way." They are very friendly about this time and of ten send us tokens of their friendship in the shape of* a few "minnies." There are but two regiments# on this island, the others having all gone to Charleston. Hunter has again been re lieved and we hope never to return. The Ad ministration found that experimenting on ne groes would not reduce the strongholds about Charleston. They have sent him to a depart ment where he will again find the "free Ameri can" in lus primitive state, lie should have ta ken Jim Montgomery and his negro crew along, as all the ild negroes are gathered up down here. Almost the whole negro population of South Carolina havo received the "blessings of liber ty" at the hands of blood thirsty Davy. Gen. Gilmore hps relieved him, and is "the right man in the right place." The men have great con fidence in htm. He is now blazing away at Charleston in earnest. They have been lighting for the last ten days, and the supposition is that before ten more Charleston w ill have fallen. Be fore our forces began operation against Charles ton, Gen. Ripley viewed with his glass our po sition, on Folly Island, and said "they have on ly a small force with two pieces of artillery mounted." The same night he sent two hun dred and fifty men to drive in the advance pick et and capture the two pieces of artillery. Our forces on Foily Island had prepared to attack them on the same night, and while the two hun dred and fifty were advancing they were attack ed, driven back and the half of Morris' Island captured. We can hear the cannonading plain ly. Even now, as I write the roar of the artil lery is distinctly heard, sounding like distant thunder. The following news just came: Mor ris Island in our possession—ten batteries and Fort Wagner captured—Battery B, on Cum mings' Point destroyed—our forces have been badly cut up. The 76th I'. V. can raise but two companies. Some of the Bedford county boys have "made their last charge and fought their last battle." The other regiments have lost half their number. We lost a great many many men at ti/e storming of Fort Wagner, as we were repulsed three tiuics. There were five hundred wounded brought to Beaufort tins morn ing, among whom are Generals Strong, Sey mour and Terry. Two negro regiments were engaged, a Massachusetts and Carolina reg't. The latter was commanded by the hero of Cam buhee, and they couldn't stand it. I suppose he found the dillercnoe in charging on a battery, from the capturing of a few "nigs." The Ist S. C. made a raid up the Kdisto river in which they lost the steamer Milton and two pieces of artillery, and brought back a few old negroes. One that saw them says: "They are the dirti est, raggedest, leanest specimens of dark hu manity I ever saw." Isn't the Administration kind in providing an asylum for the old worn out negroes of the rebels. We expect an at tack here, if Charleston falls. There was an alarm on the right of the picket line last night. The enemy came across in boats but were driv en back by the fire of the pickets. Maj. Filler is in Charleston, a prisoner. 110 was on the stair of Gen. Strong and was taken while lead ing a charge. The men show great bravery. They are. all eager to get a trial at the place Ifom which was tired the first shot that inaugu rated the present war. It seems as though the rebellion is to end where it began. The last mail brought in glorious news, news that warms every heart. If all reports be true the rebell ion is fast waning. Gen. Gilmore says he will take Charleston if it costs his own and the livej of all his men. Prisoners taken say, "If it be true that Fort Wagner and Cummings Point are taken, Charleston is "gone up." The reb els across from the Ferry can't "swallow" be ing whipped in Pennsylvania bj militia. The Rebs told us that their army was in its element in Pennsylvania amongst the rich farmers. I suppose they didn't think so when they heard of the battle of Gettysburg. Truly yours, O. B. S. "Don't Unchain the TtOEK." —A poster with the above caption has appeured for some days past on all the public places and dead walls of the city. We fear the warning comes too late. The tiger has been already unchained. It was let loose when the old landmark of the law and Constitution were departed from in the prose cution of the war. From that hour, as proph esied by far-seeing statesmen like Mr. Seward, Mr. Crittenden, Thurlow Weed, and others, the South became unitcdandthe North divi led. The tiger was unchained when Greeley's pray er of the "Twenty Millions" was granted, and the President replied to the voice of the people as expressed in the fall election by adopting the radical programme. lie began his raving when fanatics ami partisans obtained apreponderating influence in the administration of public affairs. The people then became alienated and divided, volunteering ceased, and conscription was the necessary result. Bloody graves, fierce animosi ties, jarring sects, secret leagues, foreign insults, wars of races and religion, internal strife and national weakness follows the track of the Ab olition tiger. He can only bo muzzled by the ballot box. Tlie sdent fall of millions of slips of paper, inscribed with the names of true men, and legally deposited by freemen, can aloue chain up the "Tiger" that ravages our fair Union.—A 'ew York Sun. THE DRAFT seems to be getting but few sol diers, but a great deal of money paid to the Government, In the interior of Nov York, the Times says, and in New England, half the persons drafted pay their S3OO. It is men and not money that is wanted. Possibly the S3OO exemption, added to the SIOO bounty from the Government, may get substitutes enough. It ought to before another draft is resorted to, be cause the amount of the exemption wasjeonsid ered by the Government an equivalent to ser vice, and until it is all paid out in procuring substitutes, it would not be fair to the people to call upon them again for service. E-sides the knowledge that it all will be certainly paid to Governme nt substitutes, will induce persons the more readily to enter the Government ser vice. If these means do not have to be resort ed to, for the nrmy must be Replenished. The Government will probably have to furnish from the S3OO fund one-third of Mie whole amount of men required under the draft. ONE-SIDEP.- -In Durham township, Bucks county, out ot twenty-nine men that were draft ed last week, twenty-six/ were Democrats. We take it for granted the draft was honestly made, but it seems strange notwithstanding. Distinguished Conscripts. Among the drafted in the Seventh Ward to* day are two sons of Gen. Meade, (J. Sergeant and George Meade,) one of whom, George, U now a member of hi* father's staff. John C. Bullitt, Esq., Beiyamin Mullock, who is said to have made millions through army contracts, Col.
