(>f course the Abolition tricksters will have ; arrangements made to have soldiers stationed 1 at the several polls of this county. This will ; be done, as it was at the last election, with the pretence of watching for non-reporting con- ' 'cripts. We say nothing against the employ ment of soldiers in the arrest of deserters, but it'does seem to us thut their work might be ac- • • cwnplisued without trampling under foot the law 3 of Pennsylvania, which forbid the pres ence of armed troops at the places whereat elec tions are being held. Our noble sheriff, by his timely proclamation, maintained, in some de gree, the sanctity of the law at tho late eloc- i tion. As long as our chief peace offieer does bis duty, as Sheriff Aldsta !t did in that in- ] stance, the people need have no fear for their' )ii>ertie> But tlie violation of the law, by the procurement of armed guards for tho polls, cm t the part of the Abolition leaders in this place, ; led to the murder of an innocent and peaceable citizen. W hat the repetition of this election- j eering trick may result in, we are not prepared : to sav ; but we now declare, in advance, that •i. , if the polls are to be watched by armed men, : contrary to the laws of this state and in viola- ' tion of the Constitution of the United states, * which guarantees to the people the FREEDOM OF ELECTIONS, the responsibility for the j consequences will rest upon those who set the Luv and the Constitution ;.t defiance. Democrats of Bedford Borough, •Now is the time to work for the cause. Nome i of rcnir number have been dragged away, since . the last election, by the conscription officers, ami you must make up for their absence by talking to your neighbors and getting some of those who havo heretofore voted against the Democracy, to vote for Little Mac Your par ty majority of 28 can be held and increased, if every man but does what he can to make a uother vote. We would advise you to keep an eye on the "detectives," assistant provost marsh als, and vermin of that sort. We hear that some of them are trying to buy votes, by prom ising to get people out of the draft. Wat them, and if you discover them in this !ot. bnshies?, prosecute them at once. State Senate. The Democrats have elected eight of the eleven Senators chosen at the late election.— The new Senators are Messrs. Christy, Wal ters, Walls, Clymer, Donovan, Randall, James and Schall, Democrats; and Messrs Bigham, *Lowrv nnd Rover, Abolitionists Tbi* is a splendid triumph. jThe Fraud* *£^ u Soldiers! paralleled Outrages! I i/emooratie Soldiers Disfranchised! Letters Opened and Tickets Abstracted! i DEMOCRATS PREVENTED FROM VOTING ! | Illegal and Fraudulent Returns ! Shall These Wrong* Bo ltiyhled ? The most glaring and outrageous frauds ever perpetrated under the sun, have been practi sed upon the soldiers voting in the army, by their abolition officers and the uuderlingsof the ; administration. We hear frprn every quarter, from the most reliable sources, that Democrat ic soldiers were prevented, by force , from voting, that minors and negroes were allowed to vote and that fraudulent returns have been made. The prothoaotary of this county, for instance, has received one return which shows that forty six votes were polled and of these forty six, twenty nine voted the Democratic ticket. Hut the Abolition candidate for Congress is set i down us having received fifty five votes, just ! nine imfi /h ucre polled altogether / Other rc ! turns embrace the votes of soldiers from live ! different counties, all counted together, render ; ing it impossible to tell how the lieu ford coun !ty men among them voted. Hut what is still I more outrageous and enough to make every i freeman's blood boil with indignation, is the j statement of Democratic soldiers, iterated and 1 re-iterated, that they were cot permitted to vote. WILLIAM SLEEK, of Napier tp., writes home that when he was about to cast his ballot, he was told that he could not vote the Democratic ticket at thai poll. He is in one of the hospitals at Washington city. J \S. > A VVGLE of the same tp.,also writes that j he was not allowed to vote the Democratic j ticket. JOSEPH RIIOADS. of Bedford tp., • writes to the same effect. All these men had their tax receipts and other pajiers properly prepared, as we personally know. We have also :-ceu letters from soldiers to parties in this | place, stating that letters sent to them which spoke of having tickets enclosed, reached them minus the tickets. Tin;? the Democratic sol diers have been disfranchised and thus is the will of the people of Pennsylvania overborne ! Is there no remedy for this ? The law provides a very uncertain and expensive one—the con testing of the election. But every one knows that in such contests, the s;nne party which used fraud in the fir * place, generally uses it again with the same success. What, then, are the outraged people to do ? Our answer is, Roll up such a majority in November as neither fraud nor force can overcome, but if overcome by, such means, then to right themselves AT ALU HAZARDS! As confirmatory of what vo have said ulvAa in regard to the army frauds, wo clip the fal lowing from the Bellefonte Watchman ; CAMP DISTRIBUTION, Va., Oct. 1.1 ME. ALEXANDRE ESQ.—I received yours of the Ith in st. ar.d was glad to hear such favora ble news from "Old Centre." I have seeft no report of the election of the county yet, but I feel confident that the whole Democratic ticket is elected by a handsome majority. There were three votes for Centre county in my company, and they all went the whole county ticket; one of the number thut never voted that ticket be fore. There will be more votes cast at the No vember election than there was at this one. A poll was opened in camp and I will give you a slight idea ho.v it was carried on. There are men here from all parts of the State, It is to be remembered that the drafted men and substitutes are always kept under guard, and when the polls opened the Pennsylvania men were ordered to fall in and go to vote. One squad, in command of a sergeant was marched to the place of voting, when the Colonel com manding the camp, came and spoke to the men and told then: that he wanted every man to have his just dues, that the election was to be carried on in a fair way, and that there was no fraud or illegal voting to be permitted.—When they were asked what ticket tlicy were going to vote, nine of ihe number said the Democrat ic ticket. The Colonel then ordered the Ser geant to take those men to their quarters, that they could not come any of their d—d cop perhead games over lum. These nine Demo crats were thus deprived the right of voting. If you, or any one else, doubts the reality of it I shall he plain enough to give you their names, and their respective places of residence. Joseph Rhoads.

Ihe following is a list of the Congressmen for this State, elected by the homo vote; DEMOCRATS. ABOLITIONISTS. S. J. Randall, Leonard Myers, Henry P. Ross, W. D. Keliey, B. M. Boyer, C.

How They Wriggle! The Tlarrisburg Te/egrapt.', edited by the Hefsian Bergnt-r, Lincoln's postmaster at the State capital, is dumbfounded by the larec gain in Bedford county. The fel low actually had an idea that the people of this county, could be bought and sold as cheap as himself, and that because some of the smaii politicians of Bedford borough,* had gone over to Lincoln, therefore, the county would cer tainly, also, turn a somersault into the] em brace of Abolitionism, lie confidently expect ed that a great proportion of the 15,000 votes, which one of our renegades was to take over to Lincoln in this State, would be made up of the honest yeomanry of Bedford county, jlis chagrin at the result, is about as bitter a; that of the parties here upon whom he built his hopes, and hence he wriggles and twists and squirms in his efforts to linda reason for the disaster to his friends in this county. One day he says that it was owing to the proclamation of our Sheriff, commanding the peace at the polls and calling upon the peace-officers to en force the laws; the next he attributes it to the fact that our County Treasurer gave receipts for taxes paid to him for soldiers in the army, so that those soldiers might not be disfranchis ed ; in doing which, both Sheriff and Treasurer were only executing their sworn duties. Why, the chairman of the Abolition jj county Com mittee, brought a list of three hundred names of soldiers to the Treasurer, for which he de manded and obtained tax receipts. The Hes sian must try again if he would find out the true rea.-o: r the awful thrashing his friends got in tbl- nty at the late election. But he had better wait till after the Bth of November, when he will have more of the same sort of work to do and he can then make a single job of all the necessary apologies for the downfall of Abolitionism in Bedford county. Turn Out In Your Might. Remember the election comes on Tuesday, the Bth of November. every man be at his post. Don't wait to be sent for. Every tiiaa is equally interested with his neighbor, in bringing about a change of administratis. Let the Democrats of every school district ap point a place of meeting on election day ; let a committee be appointed to ascertain whether all arc present and when every man answers to his name, then let them march forward to the polls. Lists of voters should also bo made and a committee man should stand at the win dow and check off the name of those voting, and those not at the polls by two o'clock in the afternoon, should at once be sent jbr. Now, then, Rally for M'Clellan, boys, a £ain, shouting the death-knell of traitors l\ Arson Pillage and Murder. Look down the desolate valley of Shenandoah 1 Behold its beautiful towns, its pleasant farm houses, its wclt-fillod barns, it* generous mills, feeding the flames of Lincoln's policy of des truction. Look again to far off Florida and see the lovely city of Jacksonville, a prey to the fires of Lincoln's plan of desolation. Look once more to Mississippi and Louisiana and find there the ashes of the onco flourishing town 3 of Jackson and Alexandria leveled to the earth by the Insensate fury of the American Nero. Then turn your eye northward and tlote from the Kansas line to Chambersburg, the smould ering ruins of towns and hamlets, destroyed, in retaliation, by the raiders of Jeff. Davis. You shudder as you contemplate the scene. Your heart sickens within you as you think of the horrors surrounding you on every side. Arson, pillage and murder are at your very door. Your dwellings are to be burned over your heads, your valuables pillaged and yourself and family, if escaping the vengeance of the rebels, shot down in cold blood, as was poor Frederick Mock, and ad for the sake of keeping the Illinois buffoon telling his smutty j k.s in the White House ! Oil, miserable, deluded people! how long will you be the instruments ot your own ruin." It there be a thunderbolt in heaven, whose flash were vivid enough to reveal but for a moment, the hideous horror of the policy which you, who intend to vote "for Lincoln, sustain, may it Full at your feet and wake you to a realization of your danger. Can you vote for more burning, more pillage, more slaughter? Oh, think of the shrieking women, the erying children, the widows and orphan?, the houseless and homeless the bedless and breadless, turned out to die in the storms of winter, by the policy which you endorse by voting for Lincoln ! In the sacred name of humanity, we implore you to pause and ponder before you permit yourselves to be governed by prejudice, or former party affilia tions, in the discharge of your duties as voters. A Handsome Gain, The Dcmocra' • candidates for the legislature in this district, • a just 1000 over the vote of last year, the aboition majority then being 798 whilst the Democratic majority naw is 202. This is truly astonding. Over army frauds and all, the gain will he at least 700. Last year Mr. Meyers' majority in this county was just 250 ; this year it is GC6, a gain of 41G. A few more personal attacks from renegade slan derers. would have given him 1000 majority. Not True, We are informed that the Abolitionists are circulating a story in the army, to the effect that Gen. McClellan *fts opposed to granting soldiers the right to vote. This is false—ut terly false—and was invented merely to make votes for Lincoln. The 184 th. We have been shown a letter from a private in tiie 184 th I'. V r ., which states that the regi ment gave 107 Democratic mnjoritj'. The company in this regiment, from this place, gavo a Democratic majority. Of course, no return ot this vote has been received bv the 1 Tot ho ri ot afv Nail Them. SV c are informed that the abolition judge and inspector of election for Lnion township, refused to take the votes of some seven drafted men who desired to vote at that poll, at the lute election; also, that refused to re civ the proxies of several soldiers. They ekould bo prosecuted and if they repeat such, an outrage upon the rights of freemen, they must and will be made to suffer the penalty of the law. Now, "Work! Pennsylvania is ours, but we must not re main idle. Fraud, and force in the army must be overcome, by an increase of our majority at home. Five additional votes in each district, will be sufficient to place our majority in the State, beyond the reach of all the dirty work fliat can be done by our opponents. But most districts can do better than this. Let us make the mnj ority for McClellan so overwhelming that abolitionism will never again be heard of in the Keystone state. Work, Work, Work ! Astoniiding ;Frau d s. Wo heve often heard of election frauds, but those perpetrated by the Abolitionists on the eleventh inst., exceed eveiything in that line we ever imagined. It has como to light that at least 10,000 illegal votes were cast in Indi ana, whole regiment? of troops from other states voting at the various polls along the railroads over which they passed. A German soldier from Pittsburg, named STUMPF, ha 3 made oa tb to the effect that some 2000 soldiers, from other states, himself among the number, were taken out of the cars at Indianapolis and mark-, ed to the polls to vote the Abolition ticket, | which they did, receiving thereafter a treat of J lager beer. The vote of Indianapolis proves j this to be true, as itjis larger than that of the whole county was in 1852. Is there ao rsme dy for this ? We shall see. Let Them Count Us Out, If They Dare. The Democrats elect their candidates and the Abolition ballot-box stufl'ers and array agents "count them out." We will settle this matter e.fter the Presidential election. Let them "count U3 out," if they dare. As sure as heaven bends above us, if Lincoln is re-elected by fraud, there will bo a day of reckoning. Never mind ! The Democratic National Convention has not aOjour" ned saw die. GOOD NEWS!' Still They Come! 'lhe Bradford Argus, the old orgtfn of the opposition in that benighted Abolition region, controlled by David Wilmot, Ims just taken down the names of Lincoln and Johnson, and ffioisted those of McClellan and Pendleton.— hnidford county used to give 4,000 Abolition majority. At the late election, it gave but 2,70\ The influence of the Argus will re duce it little or nothing. We givo below the editors reasons for abandoning Lincoln, and supporting McClellan : "Do not the times demand a change in the policy of the Government ? We believe they do, und being of that opinion we have taken down the name of Abraham Lincoln, and put that of Hen. George B. McClellan in its stead us our candidate for the Presidency. In doin< T this we may give oilense to some of the old readers of the Argus. As the Argus was the organ ot the old Whig party, we have to -ay to its old patrons, that in making this change we b;t place the Argus along by the side of the . .rait men of that party who have coma .! to the present time—men who have for years stood aloof from party politics, but who now come out and declare for McClellan a- the only hope of the country." The Last Hair. The Abortionists are hanging by the last hair. Greeley's Tribune g.. j s up Pennsylvania on tlie popular vote, and rays the Democrats have carried the Slate. Hereabouts the Abo litionists comfort themselves with the success of their frauds in the array. They clirg to the army vote like grim death, because this is the last hair to which they can hang, lint they are sorely disappointed t the small ma jority they have received in the army. Before the election they claimed that it would be 30.- 000; now they admit that t. will not be over 10,009. We do not beli .v that it is 5,000, though until after the presidential election they will keep the figures up as high w possible.— But wait-t ill you hear from "Litiio Alac" in the army. Where the Demo, atic county tickets received one vote, he will get thousands. V\ ait till the Bth of November. The Tv/o Men On the eighth ©f November the people of the United States will decide whether the present unhappy state of the country shall continue or be forever terminated Those who vote for Lincoln, , ote for more blood, more widows and orphans, more public debt, more taxation, more high prices, in short for more of the policy which, all must ad mit, is destroying the people and ruining the country. On the other hand, those who vote for General McClellan, vote for a CHANGE OF POLICY, for the restora tion of an honorable peace, for the re-estab lishment of the Union, and for a return to the olden happiness and prosperity. Which will you choose ? Oh, remember that your own life and the lives of those dearest to you on earth, are involved in this question! \\ ill you not help to rescue the people, to save your own property, nay, your very ex istence, from the remorseless tiends that arc now dragging the nation to perdition ? Will you vote for a Christian gentleman, an ed ucated statesman, a patriotic general, a gainst whose character, as a citizen, not one word can be said, even by his most malig nant enemies; or will you put your neck into the noos once inorc, by voting for the smutty Illinois buffoon, who has neither pri vate character nor public virtue enough to shield him from the contempt of any respec table man tbat ever made his acquaintance?
