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.

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.

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, <yf whom
have rendered conspicuous services io the coun
try;
And Whereas, The existence of this feeling
will impair the efficiency of either as a candi
date, and endanger the success, not only of the
Gubernatorial nomination' but of the Judicial
and Legislative also; therefore,
Itcsolt'cd, That the sense of this Convention is
tbat t the best interests of the country and of the
Union party of the State require the nomina
tion of an acceptable candidato, whose removal
from the recent disturbing causes will give
greater promise of a cordial, united and success
ful support; a duty at all times imperative, but
doubly so at the present crisis, whicli demands
of every good citizen the surrender of every lo
cal feeling or prepossession when required foi
the public good.
On motion to postpone its consideration,
84 voted for its postponement, and 44 against
it.
Mr. WALBORN moved that the resolutions be
taken up before making the nominations, but
was opposed by Mr. CAMPBELL.
The Convention voted to take up nomina
tions.
Mr. CAMPBELL then nominated Gov. CURTIN
(amid applause and hisses), when the Chairman
said he must enforce order among outsiders.
Mr. THOMAS MARSHALL, of Allegheny, ask
ed by what authority CURTIN'S name was used,
as he had before him a solemn pledge of his
that he would not be a candidate,
Dr. FULLER, of Fayette, nominated Hon. HEN
RY D. MOORE, of Philadelphia,
JOHN M. BUTLER nominated JOHN COVODK.
ALEXANDER KING nominated FRANCIS JOR
DAN, of Bedford.
F. GILLINQIIAM nominated F. CARROLL BREW
STER, of Philadelphia.
Mr. KENNEDY, of Perry, nominatcc J. K.
MOORHEAD.
JAMES VEKCH was also nominated.
Mr. O. S DICKEY said the Old Guard of Lan
caster nominated him. [Applause.)
Mr. CAMPIIKLL said it was not necessary to
ask whether he consented or not, but he would
say that he knew from Governor CURTIN, that
he would stump the State from Delaware to
lake Erie, if nominated.
Mr. MARSHALL said the Old Guard of Alle
gheny, who could smother Lancaster in its ma
jorities, was instructed against him.
The resolution of Mr. MCKKNNAN was again
brought up.
Mr. MANN opposed its being again bronght
up.
Mr. VINCENT, of Erie, opposed it as impolitic.
Mr. FULLER, of Fayette, said there was good
cause for the resolution, as it was doubtful a
bout electing CURTIN. He was for a new man.
11c believed CURTIN has, by many acts, render
ed himself obnoxious to loyal, houest Bcbubli
cans.
A drunken man, who had made his way into
the centre of the hall, got up and said there
was not a word of truth in the statement; that
CURTIN was a good man.
Order was finally obtained by putting out
several fromiusid the bar.
Hon. J. M - BUTLER offered a resolution,
which was sent to the Chair. He withdrew
the name of Hon. JOHN COVODE, in order to
create harmony and unite; the whole party
should unite on some new man.
Hon. D. BARCLAY, of Armstrong, argued for
a new man as the only way to succeed, and af
ter paying a handsome tribute to Philadelphia,
offered the name of HENRI D. MOORE, of Phil
adelphia, as a man whom all know- He of
fered thie as an olive branch of pence. Wo
could not atforti to lose the eight thousand ma
jority of Allegheny. No man bad a right to
stands in the way of the success of the party.
Mr. LANDON, of Bradford, said the preference
of the people must be respected in this country.
All were for CUUTIN. [Applause and hissos in
the gallery.)
Mr, LAWRENCE regretted these manifestations
of feeling, and said no man would go further
or make more sacrifices than himself. He had
helped to elect CURTIN, and had stood by him.
He knew him well, and if elisoen, he trusted
in God he would be elected. But he was not
the choice of the yeomanry in this connty and
there would be trouble in giving him a majority.
He knew they had tho power to nominate CEH
but he could only support him under protest.
He would not assign his reasons. lie contin
ued in an earnest appeal not to force CUUTIN
on them, for some time.
MU. A. CUMMINGS, of Philadelphia, wanted
a direct vote on MR. MCKENNAN'S resolutions.
He believed CURTIN would be nominated, but he
wanted to show the fearful issue they were going
before the people with. If CURTIN was the clear
choice of the people, he would acquiesce in it.
MR. CURTIN'S declination of renomination was
hailed as a harbinger of peace all over the
state. The people thought a candidate could be
found who could stand upon the flag alone. He
charged that upon the security that had been
cited by his declination, machinations had been
set on foot that threatened to force him again
upon us, with all the entanglements that have
visited us in the past. Should the calamity be
fall us, the people -.'-ould hold them responsible.
He said CURTIN could not secure the support of
either his own party or hi;, ofiico-holdcrs.
A vote was then taken on adopting Mr. MC
KENNAN'S resolution, as follows. —
For MCKENNAN' s resolution, 46; against the
resolution, 80.
A motion to adjourn was made and voted
down as follows : —Yeas, 8; nays, 100.
Mr. JORDAN'S and VEEOH'S names were with
drawn.
A ballot for Governor was then taken a9 fol
lows :
CURTIN, 90; II. D. MOORE, 18; PENNEY, 14;
MOOBHEAD, 1 ; BREWSTER, 8.
(Governor CURTIN receivod 90 votes, and not
95, as was first counted up.)
The vote was as follows:—For MOORE—
Messrs. Butler, Walborn, Kieffior, Fuller, Say
crs, McPkcrson, Barclay, McCoy, Grant. Hel
ler, Smith, lleitler, Cummings, White, VV. Moore,
Klinefelter.
For Penney—Messrs. A. W. Taylor, Mar
shall, Carnahan, Ililands, Graham, Nevin, Neg
ley, Gilmore, Blair, Hcighold, Alexander, Scull,
Lawrence, McKennau, McAfee and Gallagher.
For Moorbead—Mr. Kennedy.
For Brewster—Messers. Blaylock, Gilling
liain and Jenks and three did not vote—Joseph
Moore, Jr., Goold and Tomlinson.
The balance voted for CURTIN.
Mr. NEVINS, of Alleghany, moved that the
nomination be made unanimous.
Mr. MCKENNAN, of W ashington, asked him to
withdraw it, (applause and hisses) and about
twenty voted nay, amid hisses and applause.
The Sober Second Thought.
From every quarter, East and West, North
and South, we hear the cry: ' 'Still they (the
Democrats) come." We subjoin an extract
from a letter to our friend William Foster, of
Broad Top, written by a very intelligent man,
which will show whicli way popular feeling is
drifting. The writer did not intend it for publica
tion, but he will excuse us for making use of
that portion of it bearing on politics. It comes
with much force, as he'was, until lately, identi
fied with the opposition and voted for Lincoln.
Read it:
I went the other day to be assessed for my
negro tax and don't you think I have to pay
$16.50, to free the black devils. We are all get
ting to see someof the beauties of ,Secessionist),
and his old gray-headed father, Abolitionism.
The peoplo of Illinois have been dancing about
two years, now they have to walk up and pay
the fiddler. The most unfair thing of the whole,
is, I help to pay the fiddler, and had nothing to
do in getting np the dance. Would any mortal
man have believed two years ago that a party
would get in power that would tnx your children
and mine, but such is the fact. Every member
of the family is valued at 50 dollars and 3 per
cent assessed on that is $1.50 tax on each.—
Now 1 don't expect that you have such tax to
pay there: jierhaps you have. 1 tell you what
they call it, they call it an Income tax, and they
tax a man 3 per cent, for all his income over
S6OO, and they say that each member of your
family consume SSOO of the income, hence if you
have I' 2in family that would cousurae all the
income, and every dollars worth sold after that
is assessed at 3 per cent. That is the way they
are working. My dear friend this is just the
beginning, there never was a people on God's
green earth, that was ground down by taxes as
we will be if the present party in power shall
control the administration of affairs much lon
ger. The only way that I can see for any salva
tion is to repudiate the Administration and take
a fresh start for the city of Prosperity. We
will hitch on that old Democrat engine of e
qual rights. Take that big national car of old
Lincoln and reconstruct it into 3d beautiful lit
tle cars that can make all the curves. Our
great engine has been well tried, has a good safe
ty valve the Constitution, no danger of hlowi.ng
up, and we will go on straight to the city of
prosperity. j
Gen. Morgan in the Penitentiary.
A dispatch from Caiumbus, Ohio, 30th ult.,
says:
"Morgan was incarcerated this afternoon in
the Ohio penitentiary. Himself and men were
delivered over to Captian Merion by the military
authorities, and immediately put through the
same motions as other criminals, having their
persons searched, hair and beards shaved, bath
ed and clad in clean suits. Morgan and Cluke
submitted very quietly, but some of the young
thieves demurred bitterly, until told they must
submit. Morgnn had his belt filled with gold,
greenbacks, and Confederate notes. One who
had before broken his parole refused to strip,
when it was instantly done for liira. Cluke
begged for his moustache, but it was in vain
—it was razored. Thcv will be compelled to
submit to prison discipline, be confined apart
from the convicts, and guarded day anil night
by the military. One or two talked about re
tidiation, but the rule against speaking was in
stantly enforced.
"A negro convict did the harboring for the
chivalry."
IIEADQL'AHTEHB Al>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.

Children owe much of their Sick}ten to Coldt.—
No matter where the disease may appear to-be seat
ed, its origin may be traced to suppressed perspiration
or a Cold. Cramps and Lung Complaints art di
rect products of Colde. In short Colds are the har
bingers of half the diseases that afflict humanity,
for as th"y are caused by checked perspiration, and
as five- eightß of the waste matter of the body es
capes through the pores, if these pores are closed,
that portion of diseases necesurilyr follows. Keep
clear, therefore, of Colds and Coughs, the great
preciirsers of disease, or if contrarted, brean them
up immediately, by a timely use of Madame Por
ter'* Curative Balsam. Slid by all Druggists, at
cents and £5 cents per bottle.
