Abolition Meeting.
The Abolition gathering on Tuesday night
as compared with the Democratic Mass Con
vention on Monday evening, was small in num
bers and spiritless in feeling. About one half
of the meeting was composed of Democrats who
were curious to know what the speakers could
have to say in defense of the misrule, iniquity
and crime of which every body knows the Abo
lition leaders to be guilty. The remainder was
composed of Abolitionized Republicans, with
the exception of about fifty "free Americans of
African descent," the aroma of whose presence
regaled the nostrils of the negro-lovers with the
sweetest of smells and produced that soothing J
effect upon the nerves of the adherents of Abra
ham, which nothing but the close propinquity
of tbo negro can have upon the delicate sensi
bilities of a modern "Republican." This latter
portion of the audiJucc had boon gathered in- j
gethor by the profusfc circulation of lying hand
oilts, in which it i4 announced that Governor
Curtin and John Scott, of Huntingdon, would
be present at and address the meeting. Neither
the Governor nor tho immaculate John made
their appearance, and the crowd was compelled
to be bored by a spread eagle speech from P.
C. Shannon, of Pittsburg, and a rehash of the
stale lies concerning Ex-President Buchanan,
about "six miles long," by Mr. John G. Miles,
from Huntingdon. A man by tho name of
Wilkcson, of Woodbcny, nlso attempted to
speak, but broke down after uttering the blas
phemous comparison of the power of Abo Lin
eoln in "resurrecting the country" to that of
the Saviour in raising Lazarus.
P. C. Shannon, the first speaker, is an apos
tate from the Democratic faith, having bartered
his principles for tho prospect of political pre
ferment. He was elected, last year, to the Le
gislature, by the Abolitionists of Allegheny
county, but this year failed to obtain a re-noni
ination nnd also missed his maik in his effort to
secure tbo Abolition nomination for Supreme
Judge. And, now, he is reduced so low, politi
cally, that he goes about doing the dirty work
for Abolitionism. This same Mr. Shannon de
clared in the Democratic State Convention of
February 22d, 1861, that "much must the Re
publican party answer for before the Court of
Heaven and at tho bar of the civilized world, for
its birth found us in peace anil fraternity, whilst
the few years of its existence, have brought us
to the verge of destruction, to the edge of the yawn
in% abyss which swallows hope, concord, peace and
Union;" and also, in the same speech, that "in
ternal force is not suited to the genius of our
people, nor is it an element of our organization.''
A pretty fellow, truly, to bring before the peo
ple of Bedford county to defend "Republican
ism" and preach coercion or "internal force !"
The meeting wound up by the Berlin Demo
cratic Band, accompanied by a large crowd,
, serenading Messrs. Meyers, Hartley, Scliell,
. Shannon, Davis, Farquhnr, nnd other Demo
crats, a fit finale to this grand Abolition fizzle.
Berlin Brass Band.
This excellent and accomplished band of mu
• sicians, was in attendance at the L)emoc:.Uic
Mass Convention in this place, on Monday even
ing last, and remained in our midst until Thurs
day morning. The citizens of Bedford will long
wjth pleasure, tfic visit of those gab
lant • "frasty Sons of-Thunder." We hay*

S tying Wflg'infArior to that of oq¥ Berlin friends
. w o*,eah assume them that their performances
universally praised and appreciated. Long
may they wave!

The Union and the Constitution!
Woodward, Lowrie, and Liberty!!
The largest meeting of the people held in Bed
ford since 1844, was held by the Democracy in
the public square on Monday evening last. The
vast concourse began to gather into the town
early in the forenoon and continued increasing
till evening, when a large delegation from the
Western end of the county, with flags flying,
headed by the Berlin Brass Band, filed in, and
afterwards another delegation from the Eastern
part of the county, swelled the multitude to
still greater numbers. The whole town was
literally alive with people. Thb square in front
and on botli sides of the stand was jammed,
and Juliana street, as far North as the Mengel
House, was blocked up so as to be almost im
passable. The stand was beautifully decorated
with wreaths of evergreens and festooned with
the national flag. In front, in large letters,
were the mottoes, "The Union and the Consti
tution," and "Woodward, Lowrie and Liberty,"
while in the centre hung the portrait of the fa
ther of his country, George Washington. The
scene around was lit up by bonfires and blazing
pine knots, presenting n most magnificent spec
tacle. The presence of the ladies, with flags
and badges, enlivened and beautified the scene
and every thing "went ntcrry as a marriage bell."
The meeting was called to order by John P.
Reed, Esq., Chnirraan of the Democratic Coun
ty Committee.
On motion, WM. KEYSER, Esq., of Juni
ata township, was called to the chair, and tho
following named gentlemen were elected vice
presidents:
Michael Wertz, Samuel W. Miller, Benjamin
Henderson, Samuel Reighard, John Sill, Geo.
Mardorf, Philip J. Shoemaker, Adam Zembow
cr, Amos Collins, Bnltzer Fletcher, Peter Koons,
George Smouse, Dr. F. C. Doyle, Wm. Mellon,
Thomas W. Horton, John Fulton, Wra. Gor
sueh, Wm. Penrson. Aaron Reed, Emanuel
Statler, Geo. W. Horn, Danl J. Miller.
The following were appointed secretaries:
Jacob Sender, Jeremiah E. Black, Wm. Gil
lespie, Dr. S. G. Statler, Philip G. Morgart,
J. L. Barton, M. A. Points.
Hon. CHARLES W. CARRIGAN, of Phil
adelphia, was then introduced to the meeting,
and addressed the vast assemblage in a speech
of great eloquence and power, dissecting and
exposing the administration of Mr. Lincoln and
holding np to the scorn nnd contempt of the
people, the miserable shifts and frauds and tricks
of the leaders of the party who counsel and
sustain Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Cnrrigan was listen
ed to with the most profound attention and was
interrupted with frequent outbursts of the most
sing uy[<\.xe.
! jCoL .1. KOSS SNOWDEN, formerly the a
i ble and popular Director of the Mint at Pnila-
I d-elphia, was the next speaker, fie delivered a
logical, argumentative and most impressive
speech. He declared it his belief that the only
hope of the country was in the Democratic par
ty, and that the Abolitionists, who are now try
ing to elevate the negro to social and political
equality with the white man, if permitted to
succeed in their fanatical projects, would bring
ruin and desolation upon our country.
JOHN P. O'NEILL, Esq., of the Philadel
phia Bar, was then introduced to the meeting.
The speech of Mr. O'Neill abounded in pas
sages of great eloquence and beauty and held
I his audience rapt and spell-bound to the end.
I It was truly a splendid effort and will long be
| remembered and admired by those who hud the
| good fortune to hear it. Mr. O'Neill retired a
j mid loud and prolonged cheering.
I W. J. ISAEK, Esq., the Democratic nominee
for Senator, was then called out and delivered
one of the clearest and most argumentative ad
dresses to which we have ever listened. The
Democracy, as they listened to Mr. Bacr, had
great reason to feel proud of their nominee and
they fully evinced that they did so by their loud
and repeated shouts of applause. Mr. Bacr jdso
spoke in German, in which ho acquitted himself
equally well.
In the intervals between the speeches, the
Berlin Brass Bund discoursed most excellent
music. This band-is entirely Democratic, not
a single Abolitionist belonging to it.
B. F. Meyers then read the following resolu
tions which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, By the Democracy of Bedford coun
ty, in Mass Convention assembled,
1. That we affirm and approve the resolu
tions of tho lato Democratic State Convention,
regarding theui us cuiiuently sound in principle
and truly patriotic in spirit.
2. That wo reiterate our oft repeated pledges
to support the Constitution of tho United States,
to uphold and defend it against any enemy, whe
ther Secessionist or Abolitionist, whether sworn
official or private citizen, esteeming it the only
bond of that Union which was established by
Washington and his illustrious compeers and to
restore w'hicji to its original status, we solemnly
declare our Willingness to make every saerilice
that can be rotjuired at the hands of patriots.
3. That wo aeem it our sacred duty to op
pose and expose thO chicanery and fraud upon
the Union sentiment i>' 'he country, about be
ing perpetrated by those" miserable political mis
creants who arc attempting in the name of the
Union, to abolish the institution of negro slave
ry at the cost of the white men of the Nortlij
luxt who are for Uriibn Only on eondilioji
that' negrq slavery li blotted out of yxtstfciiee j
4.' That inasmuch as the Democratic party
conducted the country safiny thWmglt every triAl.
from the administration of Thomas. Jefferson to 1
that of Jatnes Buchanan, anil inasmuch t* tho I
first departure from Democratic principles and j
policy, lias involved us in a dreadful civil war,'
plunged our once happy country into desolation I
and heaped debt and taxation upon tho peoolo,
we appeal to every reasonable and unprejudiced
man to unite himself to that party, that thro'
its restoration to power, what remains of our
beloved land may be. saved. And we hold the
Democrat who now proves unfaithful to his sa-j
ered trust, who, in the face of the iniquity and I
1 horror which the isms opposed to Democracy
have wrought, apostatizes from Lis political faith,
as a traitor to be shunned and despised UR ano
thee Arnold, willing to sell las country and his.
liberty for ottiee or for gain.
5. That whereas it is rumored that the free
dom of the ballot-box is to be interfered with
nt the coming election, by the presence of arm
ed men, we now declare that inasmuch as such
interference would he in direct, violation of the
Constitution of the United States and the Con
stitution and laws of our owu State, we are de
termined, at nil hazards, to preserve inviolate
the elective franchise, "peacefully if we can,
forcibly if we must."
(5. That we will sustain the Government of
the United States in its legitimate authority and
that we will approve the administration of the
Executive Brunch of that Government by Mr.
Lincoln, when he is right, and condemn it when
it is wrong.
7. That wo reiterate our condemnation of
the Emancipation proclamation, the Confisca
tion Act, and the remaining radical measures of
the present Administration, regarding tlicm as
insuperable obstacles in ttic way of a success
ful termination of the war and the restoration
of the Union.
8. That we condemn and denounce the con
duct of Gov. Curtin, and his officials in their
well known frauds upon the soldiers in foisting
upon them rotten clothing, and we regard the
electioneering of the Governor on the ground
that he is the special friend of the soldiers, as
"adding insult to injury."
9. That we sympathize with tho gallant sol
diers of our army in their sufferings and priva
tions undergone in the camp, the field and the
hospital, that we repel with indignation and
scorn tho imputation upon the Democracy that
they are not the friends of the soldiers, repre
sented as they are in the army by more than
half its numbers; and that within their appro
priate sphere, as set forth by George Washing
ton, the sphere of "agents of the civil power,"
we aro their true, hearty, and unwavering
friends.
10. That wo endorse most heartily and em
phatically the nominations of Hon. George W.
Woodward, for Governor, and Hon. Walter H.
Lowrie, for Supreme Judge, nnd that wo will
uso every honorable effort to secure their trium
phant election.
John Palmer, Esq., offered the following res
olutions. which were also unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That wo cordially and enthu. iasti
cally ratify and support the Demoe-atic District
and County nominations, from Senator to Au
ditor, and hereby call upon every man bailing
himself a Democrat, to lay aside all personal
prejudices and every side issue and go to work
with a will for the success of the ticket.
Resolved, That we endorse and rejoice at the
hold and independent course of the organ of the
Democratic party, of this count} - , the "Bedford
Gazette," and call upon every true Demount to
rally around its editor in the fierce conffucnow
being waged against him by the enemies ol the
party and of the country.
During the speech of Mr. Carrigttn, "tone
Abolition blackguard for the want of '"lit
ter reply to the home thrusts of vie sptnkcr,
threw an egg upon the atuge. Adroit Was
tnade by a portion of the meeting upon the
quarter whence the offensive olvjoct was thrown,
and a general Abolition stampede was the re
sult. No more eggs were thrown after that.—
Just before tho reading of the resolution!, a
number of impetuous Democrats rushed apon
the stand, causing the flooring to give way. No
one, however, was hurt and the proceedings
were interrupted for but a moment. After res
olutions of thanks to the speakers arid tho Band,
the meeting adjourned with loud and prolonged
cheering for the Union and the Constitution
Woodward and Lowrie and the whole Demo
cratic Ticket.
Domocra,tic Meeting.
A very largo meeting of the Democracy was
held in the Court House, on Wednesday even

dy, of Somerset, and E. W. Miller, Esq., of
Ohio. Short speeches were also made by Messrs.
Meyers, Shannon and Palmor. A large num
ber of ladies graced the occasion with their pres
ence and the Berlin Band discoursed most charm
ing music. The meeting ndjourned with cheers
for the Union, the Constitution, Woodward,
Lowrie, and the whole Democratic Ticket.
The S3OO Exemption.
It is the opinion of the best lawyers in the
| Union that the payment of the §3OO commuta
i tion money, will exempt the conscript paying it
for three years or during the war. Thaddeus
Stevens, the Abolition member of Congress,
who drew up the Conscription Act, has pub
lished a letter over his own signature, to the
above effect.

H. L. HARVEY, President.
Secretary.
W. J. Baer, Esq.
The nomination of tlic above-named gentle
man for the State Senate, was one eminently fit
to be made. Mr. Baer is a man of brains,
nerve and excellent moral character. The De
mocracy may truly be proud of him. Mr. B.
was on a visit to this county on Monday last,
but was called home by the death of a relative.
He will, however, visit us again.
That Delegation.
The Abolition leaders blowed lustily a few
days prior to their meeting, about a largo dele
gation they expected from Cumberland Valley.
Well, Tuesday evening came and with it the
delegation, composed of the Abolition Post Mas
ter who pulled down the stars and stripes in his
office, when V| g hcnrri i,o rebels wnm mining,
together with two other men, and one dog.—
"Uncle Jake" had better try it again.
Remember
That tho Bedford Inquirer, the organ of the
Abolitionists in this county, recently declared
that "of course" it is "opposed to tho old Union."
This is the doctrine of the Abolitionists every
where. They don't want tho Union restored.
Keason—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 a party?
WANTED—BOOK-KEEPERS, CLEKIIS AND AC
TIVE JI EN FOR BUSINESS —Owing to the change
caused by the war, there exists throughout the
country a most wonderful demand for compe
tent and skillful Book-keepers, Clerks, fyz. So
great is this demand that notwithstanding the
number of Students at the Iron City College,
l'ittsburg, I'a., has been more than doubled
diring the past year, it has not bteu able to
sipply the calls made upon it for Book-keepers
and clerks. Young men contemplating a prep
tration for business, which this year promises
t be. more active than usual, shoud avail them
selves at once of the advantages ulYorded by
this pooular institution, and prepare themselves
fur fall and winter business.
CUMBERLAND V AI.I.EV, Aug, 17, 1833.
Mu. EDITOR:
n<ar Sir:
All >v me if you please, a little space in your
paper U give to the public a few items from
this par, of the country. I happened the other
day to fee that Abolition cheat which is turned
out by YVkeelburraw and in reading over its
contents 1 noticed a letter from Cumberland
Valley, signed "Inquisitor,' which attracted
my attaation, seeing that my name was used
as being the Writter of some letter in the Ga
zette. N*jw I wish to tell this Mr. Inquisitor
that hi lias taken the wrong eat by the tail and
if he dint look sharp he will get ins head scratch
ed. Isuspect that the ciuck-brain who so un
ceremuiiuusly uses my name is a certain nigger
loving. woolly-headed Abolition traitor by the
name f Smith, who seems be much better at
wiitinj defamatory letters tliaa at fighting reb
els.
Nov let us examine this stupendous letter
and so what it is composed of. Well it speaks
of uriiin men. Now, who are the union men ?
Are tic Abolitionists? Let us see. Wendell
Phillip says "The constitution is a covenant
w ; th tfeath and a league with hell." Thad Stev
ens, ths acknowledged leader of the republican
party, says if I believed that this war would re
store tic old union, I would hi against it. M.
Comv v 'anolbSr lead r of that nifty say I
"As tliiigs start:! I ■ the Union i
to their*debi of evdry rmn,' woman and eh'.' 1, '
any waiving Hnf., re bi.'itkfaSt.*' Now, dhes 1
that kind 01 docinue bespeak Union principles;
J think not. lint let us sec whjrt is the creed
of Democrats. Free speech, :t free jacas. the
Constitution as it is, tlx? Union as it v*s.'
'J'lie Democrats uro fur the old Uiiion, and
not a;- this Mr. Smith's lather has oftrh declared
himself to bo, for a division of this country into
three parts* Mr. Inquisitor is blatant about the
slavery of negroes. Now who plated, those
inferior beings in their servile condition? Let
him read carefully the 25th chap, of Leviticus,
11, 45, 40 verses, lie will find who first estab
lished the institution of slavery. As to "deal
ers in human flesh, lot hiin turn to Revelations,
j 18 chap, 13 verse, aiid'learn of the merchandise
jof tlio times of which St. John speaks, lfut
[there is no use in pointing hint to Sacred Writ
for he will not believe it at. any rate. Now
Mr. Editor, I am through with this wonderful
nrti.de of Inquisitor Smith's, and I will close by
saying Ihut I never saw the letter with which
he so wantonly connects my name, until T ~iw
it in the thizotte and by advising JR. Smith to
cease his anonymous slanders and come OIK over
liis own signature like a man.
Yours, with respect,
