NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
GEORGE B. McCLELLAN,
OF NEW JERSEY.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
GEORGE H. PENDLETON,
OF 01110.
A Glorious Triumph!
Bedford county gives 077 majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket! And this, notwithstanding the
twisest treachery on the part of men who owe
all they have and all they nr to the Democrat
ic organization tn.l notwithstanding *he fact
that erery poll at which the Democrats were
expected to have a majority, was watched by a
squad vf soldiers. Had there liccn a free elec
tion, and had not the draft been so managed as
to run at least 250 Democrats awav from their
homes, the majority would have been upwards
ut' 1,000. But under the circumstances, the
Iliumph is ftll the more glorious. We cannot
at present particularize as to the relative gains
the different districts. All did so well that
we. can scarcely discriminate in favor of any.
But we must .not forget that many honest and
itdepervicnt republicans came up to our help.
We frankly acknowledge their services. We
owe theee noMa men our everlasting gratitude.
Ths
There are great Democratic gains all over
the Btaie, averaging about 100 to each county,
which would make the aggregate gain over last
year, 2d,000! This will give us the state, on
the home vote, by 1 1,000. What the army
vote will do, we cannot tell; but one thing is
certain, that the prestige gained by the Democ
racy in carrying the state on the home vote by
so decided a majority, will go far towards revo
lutionizing the ether states in favor of McOlel
an. As to the number of Congressmen we
have secured, it is impossible to tell. The army
vote will have to decide in a number of districts.
We think that we have car-icd at least twelve
of the twenty four districts, on the home vote.
The Legislature is also in doubt. In the Blair
and Huntingdon Senatorial districts it is repor
ted that we have elected two Senators, also one
in the Snyder district—all three gains.—ln
Westmor-'iand we gain about 600, the majority
being 1,700. In Allegheny we gain 2,00!) in
Lancaster 2,000. Berks gives 7,000 majority.
In Somerset we gain about 600, in Blair 500,
in Huntingdon 500, and so on throughout the
state. On the popular vote, tho state is cer
tainly Democratic. Glory enough for one day.
Telegraphic Lies
Tl.e abolition papers have dispatches from
Indiana and Oiiio, claiming both states by im
mense majorities. These dispatches were sent
on the night of the election, and cannot b- bas
ed on any reliable count. As for Ohio, the j
Democrats did not expect to car j that state and
do not need it to elect McCJei'an. Indiana, j
Ik>w ever, we did hope to carry and unless great j
frauds have been c< remitted there, we have !
carried it. The World claims it as having gone
Democratic- Bur, no matter how Indiana vo
ted at the late election, she will certainly give
bf-r voice in favor of Little Mac at tito next c
lection. There are thousands of men in every ■
state w'ao would not vote the Democratic state I
od local tickets, who are determined to vote j
for McCUllan in November. We caution oar ,
raticr* to beware of sensa i n dispatches

Murder in St. Clair.
On Tuesday evening last, a young man
named Trout, of St. Clair township, accompa
nied by three armed soldiers, followed Mr.
i-rederick Mock, of that township, when on
his way home from the election, and overtak
ing him, seized hitn and marched him several
miles, when Mr. Mock endeavored to make
his escape. The soldiers immediately fr 1
upon him and killed him. Mr. Mock was no.
a conscript, bad not resisted the draft in any
form, but was a peaceable and useful citizen.
He was deliberately murdered, in cold blood,
merely because he was an active Democrat.—
We denounce this foul and bloody deed, as an
outrage not to be tolerated by any people.—
We call upon the military, as well as the civil
authorities, to have the perpetrators of this
cowardly murder brought speedily to justice,
and we warn them that if they fail to do it,
there is a sleeping lion that will be roused from
Ids lair, before whose roar the very earth shall
tremble. The blood of Frederick Mock cries
from the ground for vengeance against the men
at whose instigation soldiers were placed at the
polls on Tuesday last. Let them beware !
i Congress, Judge and Legislature.
The majority of Gen. Coffrath, on the home
1 vote, in the district, is about 725. Kimmell,
■ for Judge, has a majority of about 200 on the
: home vote. Meyers lias a majority, on the
' home vore, of about 225. Somerset county,
j according to r late dispatch, does not give over
i7O ' abolition majority. Fa! ?n gives about
j 250 dem.
Attend to the Assessments.
Ascertain at once whether there are any per
sons in your district that should be assessed,
! and, if so, have it attended to. Let every
| Democrat exert himself. We have carried
Pennsylvania. Let ua increase our majority
jto 50,000 in November. Work, work, work !

R. L. Johnston, Esq., candidate for Congress
in the af'j doing district; and also by Win

I were enlivened by the Newry Brass Band and

1 the depressing vices, and, above all, by l'ic vene
real infection. Whatever be its origin, it i hered
itary in the constitution, descending '• from parents
i to chi'dren unto the thir 1 and fourth generation;"
indeed, it seems to bo the rod of Him who says, " I
v. ill visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their
children." The cLsease* it originates tike various
names, according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and final!/
Consumption; in the gland*, swelling* which sup
purate and become ulcerous sores; ia the SL. raaca
and bowels, d- rangerncnts whcli produce indi
gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on tho
skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. Tbe3C,
all having the same O' igin, require the satue rem
edy, viz., purification and invigorftiou of tho
blood. Purify t,ie Lhuid, and these dangerous dis
tempers leave you. Vv iih feeble, foci, or corrupted
blood, you cannot have health; with that "life of
the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scroful.ua
disease.
Ayer's Sarsaparllla
is compounded from the most effectual antidotes
that medical science has discovered for tins (.find
ing distemper, and for tlie cure of the disorders it
entails. That li i* far superior to any other
remedy yet devised, is tncwu by all who hare,
given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in their effect upon this ..lass of
complaints, is indisputably proven by tlie great
multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures
it has made of the following diseases : King's
Evil, cr Glandular Swellings, Tumors, H up
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sorer. Erysipeias,
Rose or St Anthony's Fire, Sa't "Rheum, Scald
Head, £rom tuberculous deposit ia
tho Inngs, white Swelling, Debility, Dropsy,
Neuralgia, Dy?p2p3ia or Indigestion, ypuiiis
and Syphilitic Infections, Merouri Diseases,
Female Wecknc??er, and. indeed, tb.e whole series
of complaints that a; se fiom impu : 1 the o'.ood.
Minute report of individual case oe found
in AVER'S AMERICAN AI.MA.VAC, v hieii .3 furnished
to the druggists tor gratuitous distribution, wherein
may bo learned the directions for its use, and some
of the renin kable cures which it hao made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those
cases are purposely taken from all sections of the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one who can speak to him of its bene
fits from person;— experience. Scrofula depresses
tiie v ' 1 energies, and thus leaves its victims far
mora subject to disease and its fatal results than
ore healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of
human, iifc. The vast importance of these con
sideration# has led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cu.e. This we
now offer to the p rblic under the name of AVER'S
S.VRSAPARI;.!,A, although it is composed of ingro
d.ents, some of which exceed the best of Oarsa
parilla in alterative power. By its aid you may
protect yourself from me suffering and danger of
these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions
that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the
causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow.
By its peculiar virtu x: this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus expels the distempers
which lurk within the system 01 burst out on any
part of it.
We know -the public have been deceived by
many compounds of Sarsapirilin, that promised"
much and did nothing; but they will neither bo
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtue# hare
been proven by abundant trial, and there remains
no question of its surpassing excellence for the
cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to
reach. Although under the same name, it is a
very different medicine from any other which iiao
been before the people, and is far more eftccUiaf
than any other wluch has ever been available to
them.
