JOHN P. REED,
Ch'o. Dem. Co. Com.
Look out for Roorbacks!
The Abolition leaders are desperate and will
gwort to all sorts of trickery and fraud to car
yj the election. Every kind of falsehood will
be circulated by them, for the purpose of injur
ing the Democratic candidates. They will try
to make people believe that some of the candi
dates on the Democratic Ticket arc Secession
ists, that some have been Know Nothings, that
etbefs have been implicated in barn-burning,
and—the father of lies himself only knows what
besides. To do this they will stop short of noth
ing—not even of the crimes of perjury and for
gery, if they think their rascality cannot he de
tected. Democrats, be on your guard against
these roorbacks I\V henevcr you seo any of them,
nail them to the counter ns you would a coun
terfeit coin. Look out for lying circulars and
eleventh-bour handbills, filled with calumnyand
falsehood! Look out for mixed and spurious
tickets, for the country will be flooded with them
by the Abolition candidates. See that the names
aro spelled right on your tickets and that net a
■ingle letter is wrong.
Abolition Tactics.
Democrats, keep a sharp look-out for Aboli
tion stool-pigeons who cluiin to be- Democrats.
These fellows are sent out as decoy-ducks to
draw you into the Abolition trap. Again, lie
ware of Abolition wire-workers who ask you to
trade some man on the Democratic ticket for
some one on tbe Abolition ticket whose election
they desire. The tactics of the enemy arc at
present to strike at one or two of the Democrat
ic nominees. They are very nnxipus to secure
tbe offices of Sheriff ami Representative in the
Legislature. These are important offices arid
tbe Abolitionists will sell out the balance of
their ticket to secure them. See that the names
f the Democratic candidates for Sheriff and
.Legislature are on the ticket, before you vote.
The true way and the only way to dsfeat the 1
tactics of the Abolitionists is to vote the ticket,
THE WHOLE TICKET AND NOTHING
jBUT THE TICKET.
How Do Yon Like It?
We copy, in another column, from the Pitts
burg Post, a table showing tho share of the war
debt of Pennsylvania, and the proportion to be
paid by each county. The quota of Bedford
county, is $4,598,592 00! The valuation of
Bedford- county by the late Revenue Board, is
$3,458,223 00, upwards of one million dollars
less than our share of the war debt 1 Now. bow
de yeu Kke it?
The Difference.
The Abolitionized Republican party declare
that they will never agree to the restoration of
the Union as it was. Thaddeus Stovens, their
leader in Congress, told us so in a speech last
winter. Benj. F. Butler, now stumping this
State for Curtin, says that he is not in favor of
the Union as it was. The Philadelphia Even
ing Bulieitn , one of the leading Administration
newspapers in this State, declared not long since
that the old Union was "a rotten hulk and was
bound to sink." And all the Abolition leaders
in this place, are of Stevens', Butler's and the
Bulletin's opinion, most of them having publicly
stated that they arc opposed to the restoration
of the Union as it was. They want a new gov
ernment, just as the Southern rebels do. They j
will not have any Union in which negro slavery
is permitted to exist. No matter if George
Washington, the Father of his country, held
slaves, no matter if our Un ion rose to greatness
and glory with the assistance of slave labor,
still they will never agree to take back the South
until the negroes aro all emancipated. I ' jYo
Union with slave-holders That is the watch
word of the
cry of Benjamin Franklin, of John Jhtypof Al
exander Hamilton, would we ever have had our
Union? NV>! The men of Virginia, Georgia and
Carolina would have resented with scorn and
indignation, the insult tq Washington, Madison,
Jefferson and Patrick Henry, who were nil slave
holders. And so it is now. So long as the
Northern Abolition crusade against negro slave
ry continues, we cannot have re-union. The
Abolitionists propose to fight on till slavery be
abolished. This involves the annihilation and
extermination of the whole white population of
the South, and the holding of the Southern ter- j
ritory, for, perhaps, half a century, by a stand- j
ing ufiny. This is the kind of Union the Abo- ]
litionists intend to give us—a Union held togeth
er by the bayonets of a STANDING ARMY,
which will cost BILLIONS and TRILLIONS
OF DOLLARS. On the other band, the De
mocracy are in favor of the Union as Washing
ton and the fathers of the Republic made it.—
The Democrats nre in favor of the restwation of
the Union, not the destruction of what is left of
it and the erection of a military despotism upon
its ruins. The question to be decided at the
coming election, is, therefore, iMtween the Union
i of Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Hamil
! ton, represented by George W. Woodward and
| the Democracy, on the one hand, and a despotic
! government, resting upon the basis of a STAND
ING ARMY, represented by Andrew G. Cur
tin, on the other. Men of Bedford county, will
you sell out your heritage delivered to you by
the sacred hand of Washington, or will you de
termine to preserve and defend it as the precious
legacy which you know it to be? It is yours to
decide. May God, in his infinite wisdom, di
rect your choice!
The Issue.
Woodward and the Union without an IF,
AOAINBT
Curtin and a new Union IF the negroes be set
free.
The Importance of the Legislature.
The next Legislature will be called upon to
apportion the State into districts for members
of the House of Representatives and Senators.
Hence it is very important that there should be
a Democratic majority in both houses. In fact
the offices of Senator and members of the House,
are at present of almost as great value to the
Democracy as that of Governor itself. If the
Abolitionists have a majority in the Legislature,
the State will be GERRYMANDERED so as
to prevent the Democracy from regaining the
extraordinary change for seven years. Besides
the action of a Democratic Governor, would
be greatly hampered by the predominance of
the Abolition element in the Legislature.—
Therefore, Democrats should see to it that the
Democratic candidates for Senator and Repre
sentative, receive the full support of the party.
Let every Democrat EXAMINE HIS TICK
ET and see that the names of the Democratic
candidates for these two offices. WILLIAM J.
BAER and BENJ. 1 1 . MEYT.ItS, are on the
ticket.
A Bloody Plot!
A Band of Conspirators Unmasked I
We have been handed a letter by a lady re
siding in this neighborhood, which states that
the writer recently found a printed circular,
which contained an OATH to the effect that the
person who took it was to select fifteen others
to bring out the Abolition vote, to guard the
polls and to prevent any "Copperhead" (mean
ing Democrat, of Course,) who will not take the
"oath of allegiance," from voting! There is,
doubtless, some secret conspiracy being hatched
by the Abolitionists to defraud the voters ol this
State at tho polls. He on your guard, fellow
Democrats! Determine to have your rights! De
termine lo vote at all hazards! And, you, Ab
olitionists, be warned! Jf you are bent upon vi
olence and fraud, you must take the consequen
ces ! Be warned, wc say, for the PEOPLE will
not suffer you to defraud them again!
Who Caused the Conscription?
Every honest and sensible man will answer
Abraham Lincoln and the Governors who mot
at Altoona, one year ago, among whom was
ANDREW (I. CURTIN. Mr. Lincoln issued
the Emancipation Proclamation, and Curtin and
the other Radical Governors who met nt Altoo
na, endorsed it. After that no volunteers could
lie obtained, and tho consequence was the Con
scription which drags poor men into the army
and permits the wealthy to stay t home!—
What laboring man can vote for CURTIN and
CONSCRIPTION!
Examine Your Tiokets!
When a hunter wants to make a sure shot,
he first examines the priming of his gun, Before
be pulls the trigger. So let every Democratic
voter first examine his ticket Itcfore he presents
it at the Imllot-box. Democrats, let every man
of you, this time, fire a SURE SHOT and a
SOLID SHOT. Let your ammunition be as
follows, and corupnro it carefully with the fol
lowing before you use it:
Governor,
George W. Woodward.
Senator,
William J. Baer.
Representative,
Benj. F. Meyors.
Prothonotary, Register and Recorder and Clerk
of the Courts,
0. E. Shannon.
Sheriff,
John Aldstadt.
Associate Judge,'
, Samuel Davis.
"Treasurer,
James B. Farquhar.
Commissioner,
George Rhoada.
Auditor,
Daniel Barley.
Poor Director,
Ilenry Moses.
Coroner,
James Mattingly.
Judge of Supreme Court,
Walter H. Lowric.
The ticket for Supreme Judge must bo cut off
from the bottom of the ticket and tied up with
the balance. Have your tickets carefully pre
pared and tied, before you go to the polls. Be
sure to have both pieces of the ticket.
Turn Out!
Let every Democrat and every "Rcpublioan'
who wants a change in the administration of
public affairs, turn out to the election. If the
pejple want to suffer—suffer—suffer—till ruin
rides rampant over every hill and valley in the
land, let them stay at home and permit the rcius
of government to remain in the hands of the
Abolitionists. On the contrary, if they want
our country to return to peace and prosperity
let them TURN OUT and VOTE THE DEM
OCRATIC TICKET.

Mr. Trout on Amalgamation.
We have been handed the following for pub
lication, by one of Mr. G. D. Trout's neigh
bors, a respectablo and upright citizen of St.
Clair township, as setting forth the views of the
Abolition candidate for the House of Represen
tatives in regard to an amalgamation of the ra
ces:
Mr. G. D. Trout said in liis store, not long
since, that no scripture would show that it is
WRONG FOR WHITES AND BLACKS TO
INTERMARRY. A bystander asked him why
he did not take a black woman. lie replied it
would be nobody's business, if he had!
The gentleman who communicates the above,
says he is willing to swear to the truth of it,
and furnish other proof, if necessary.
WOODWA ftD AND THE UNION AS
WASHINGTON MADE IT
VERSUS
CURTIN AND A STANDING ARMY !
Remember.
That no man who lias not been a resident of
the election district in which he offers to vote,
TEN DAY'S prior to the election, has a right to
vote.
Remember that unless a man has paid a State
or county tax within two years, he cannot vote.
.Remember that a man formerly a citizen of
another State, must have been a resident of this
State one year before he can vote; whilst a for
mer citizen of this State, who had lost his resi
dence here, by living in another State, regains
his citizenship and right to voto by remaining
here 6 months.
Remember these things, as the Abolitionists
intend to colonize voters from other States and
districts at our elections—soldiers and office
holders who never were citizens of Pennsylva
nia. Such men MUST BE PREVENTED
FROM VOTING.
WOODWARD AND CIVIL LIBERTY
vKßsrs
CURTIN AND KIDNAPPING!
Greenbacks!
Wo are informed, on reliable authority, that
one of the Abolition w ire-pullers in Bedford
township, offered a pile of greenbacks to a Dem
ocrat, if he would vote the Abolition ticket.
The Democrat, like -an honest man, spurned the
offer. We arc also told that a certain Aboli
tionist in Bloody Run offered to furnish one of
the conscripts of that vicinity with his commu
tation money, if he would vote for Curtin. Now,
we want these agents of the Abolition corrup.
tion fund, distinctly to understand, that they arc
subject to prosecution and lino and that if they
persist in their efforts to corrupt voters, THE
LAW WILL BE ENFORCED AGAINST
THEM!
WOODWARD AND SOLDIERS' RIGHTS
AGAINST
CURTIN AND SHODDY UNIFORMS!
The Rivals.
There aro four Democratic townships that
promise to rival each other in their majorities at
the coming election, viz : Cumlierland Valley,
Southampton, Juniala and Bedford Townships.
The contest between these Democratic sisters
for the palm of glory, will be interesting. The
eyea of the Democracy are turned upon them
with anxious interest, and on the night of the
election, their respective votes will be looked for
with more than usual expectation. Up, then,
gallant Little Berks! Forward, old Southamp
ton ! Juniata to the rescue ! Rally, Bedford,
Rally!
WOODWARD AND VOLUNTEERS
AGAINST
CURTIN AND CONSCRIPTION!
For once, we take pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to an advertisement, that
of Howe & Stevens' "Family Dye Colors," in
this day's paper. These Dyes have become a
household necessity, and so general in their use
that many a well dressed lady finds that many
an article once rejected as out of date, is, by the
aid of these Dyes, made as good as new.
The Branded Slanderer.
The Burgess and Council of Bedford Borough,
but a few weeks ago, branded the Inquu-er man
ns a WILFUL FALSIFIER. Hence, it makes
but very little difference what is published in
that sheet. Tho people know and understand
the mendacity of its editor.
WOODWARD AND WISDOM
AGAINST
CURTIN AND CONSCRIPTION.
They Q-ive it up.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch, tho advocate of
soldier flogging and Abolitionism, in' its issue
of the sth of August said:
"With any man of -Ability, clear record, and
above all honesty, the triumph of the Union
party is secure; the nomination of Curtin
will be tantamount to defeat to the party,
Rnd for this result the Union men should hold .
the Convention personally responsible/' i
Fizzles!
The Abolitionists seeing how hopeless their
cause had become, resolved to galvanize into
life their defunct party, by holding two "Grand
Mass Conventions," one at Bloody Run and the
other at Schellsburg. In order to draw a crowd,
they advertised these meetings for weeks, in
their organ, and sent out huge posters, setting
forth the times and places of the meetings, and
tlie numcs of the "distinguished gentlemch"
who wore to address them. Among the speak
ers named, were John Scott, of Huntingdon,
and Henry D. Moore,, of Philadelphia. These
speakers were announced, just as Curtin, Scott
and others were announced for their meeting ou
Court week, to deceive the people into attend
ing, out of curiosity. But the people did not
attend, this time, and the redoubtable Scott and
' the eloquent Moore also failed to make their
! appearance. The meeting at Bloody Run, con
sisted of about 250 people, men, women and
children. A delegation from Bedford took its
own rations along, expecting the hotels at the
liun to be so crowded that it would be impossi
ble for them to get anything to eat. But when
they got there they found it necessary to put
their baskets aside, and, for shame' 3 sake, to
patronize the tables of the hotels. The meet
ing was addressed by a fellow named Sbriner,
who last year tried to beat Mr. Slenker for Au
ditor General, and didn't succeed, though he
stumped the State against him; also, by a leath
erheaded pettifogger from Huntingdon, named
Brown, by a Yankee razor-strop man, who calls
himself a Texan, and by a fellow who pretends
to be a preacher of "Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men," but who stoops to drag his minister's
robes in the filth of Abolition stump-speaking.
Considering that this meeting was held in what
was once the strong-hold of the opposition, and
the extraordinary efforts to drum out a crowd
which had been resorted to, it was one of the
worst failures we ever heard of.
THE COLVIN'S TORCH "MASS CONVENTION.*'
But the greatest fizzle was the "Grand Mass
Convention," advertised to be held at Schells
burg. The Razor-Strop urnn and Shriner were
taken up to that place in state. A large dele
gation, composed of three carriages, from this
place, formed their escort. Arrived at Schells
burg, the speakers were properly groomed and
liquored and everything was in readiness for the
opening of the "Grand Mass Convention." Then
it was that a pair of red eyes were seen to look
down the street and up the street, in anxious
search after the mass of human beings expected
to be present. But, alas! for that sad pair of
rubv eyes, the extent of the crowd was confined
to Co'vin's porch, and poorShriner and the Knight
of the Razor-Strop, disgusted and humiliated,
were compelled to speak to an audience of about
30 persons! Oh, ye gods! how are the mighty
fallen 1

Shoddy Curtin.
MR. EEITOK: —Having heard considerable
talk about the "Shoddy" uniforms furnished by
Gov. Curtin to the "three months, men," I
take this method of informing you, and through
you, the voters of Bedford county, that. I saw
for myself concerning these shoddy uniforms. I
was in the three months' service, in the compa
ny commanded by Capt. John 11. Filler, and I
saw at Williamsport, Md , on the second of July,
1861, three companies of Pennsylvania troops,
go on dress parade, 1N THEIR DRAWERS.

The Tribune on the late Battle.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
gives a long and particular account of the late
Battle between ltosecrans and Briigg, and ac
knowledges it to have resulted in a disastrous
defeat of the Union army. He says :
"A week ago, no prouder, mightier, trustier
host than the Army of the Cumberland was
marshaled under the flag of the Union. Alas,
for the uncertainties of war! TO-DAY IT IS MOKE
TIIAN DECIMATED BIXEDINU SHATTERED
VANQUISHED!
And, after describing the plan of the battle
and the operations resulting in our defeat, he
concludes as follows:
While the struggle of Saturday ended in a
drawn battle, that of Sunday resulted in a dis
astrous defeat. The failure of the first day was
partly due to the greater numerical strength
of the enemy, and partly to the deficient for
mation of battle. That of the second is just
ly ascribed to improper tactics on the battle
field, and above all to the absence of command.
The inspiring example set and influence exer
cised by the Commander-in-Chief at Stone Riv
er were wanting—he having been compelled to
leave the field and return to Chattanooga be/ore
the action was over.
The early disappearance of two corps com
manders from the field also made a demoral
izing impression. The loyal people certainly
have cause for self congratulation tlmt the Ar
my of the Cumberland was not completely de
stroyed, and owes profound gratitude to Gene
ral Thomas and those under him that saved it.
Our losses are groat. That in killed, wounded
and missing will probably reach ten thousand.
Our artillery, we are less some fifty pieces, most
ly lost on Sunday. Of wagons, loaded with
ammunition and supplies, ambulances, etc, wo
have also lost a great number. They were a
bandoned in the retreat on Sunday.
General Rosecrans and his Lieutenants were
busily ongaged on Monday in strengthening their
position by field works, and reorganizing their
commands. While the army itself may bo con
sidered safe enough, it is most certain that if
the enemy have tho advantage or greater num
bers, flanking movements will compel Rnrrcran*
to retreat across the Tennes.ee, in case reiufurcs
ments should not promptly reach himi"

The War Debt and the War Taxes,
We subjoin some figares showing what the

supposing the war debt of the Union at the
close of the war, shall ho 3,000,000,000 of dol

if the war ceased to-morrow. Because the war
has now lasted 880 days—u'nd there is no pros

The daily expense of the war—the current ex.
