BEDFORD'GAZETTE. B. F. MEYERS, EDITOR FRIDAY : s : DECEMBER 19, ,864. Ths Army Vote. We have watched, with some care, the ma noeuvres and tricks of the Abolition politicians, in their "working up" of tho army vote. Con vinced, from the beginning, that they intended to use that vote for the purpose of counting in tb eir candidates, we n:e not at all astonished, or disappointed, at. their operations in 'bis re gard, in our Congressional, Judicial and Leg islative districts. Wo are only amazed at the eoolness with which they cry "fraud! fraud!" when the Democrats try to avail themselves of the protection which the law throws around the rights of candidates. Liko all adepts in the art of theft, they understand most thoroughly the trick of throwing off suspicion from theui felves, by pointing to others and crying '-stop thief!" Hence, in order to divert attention from their own iniquity, they ra's3 a ter rible hue and cry about the course of, the mnjonly of the Congressional, Judicial and Legislative return judges. This is the secret of the noise they are making about tho conduct of those officers, this and nothing more. They know, and have known from the beginning, j that the granting of certificates of election to I the Democratic candidates for Congress, and Legislature, could not work them any in jury, for there remained to them the right of j appeal to Congress and the Legislature, both ; cf which bodies are composed of a majority of their own partizans. But they would rather make the contest elsewhere, as was shown by their submitting the Judge question to Gov. f urtin's lawyer and by getting up certificates 1 to their candidates fur Congress and Lci-la- ! O * t'.ire signer] by min.riiied of the district return judges and by persons who were not authori zed by the county boards of return jinxes io sign sud) certificates. Now, why t-jis disin clination on their part to make their contest, once for all, before Congress and the Legisla ture T Why; this persistent effort, by book and by crook, by fair means and by foul, to obtain the certificates of election?' Simply, bar> t.o v „„ : . • - . turns from the army, and because they hope that if the Democrats are compelled to take the initiative in the contest, there will not be an\ contest at all. Vfo believe that the Dem ocratic candidates for Congress, President Judge and Legislature, have a majority of all the legal votes cast within their respect ii a di. iricts. The majorities claimed for the Abolition candidates, are 68 on Congress, 122 on President Judge and as high as 16S on Legislature. (The ma jority of 11)2 set down by the Abolition papers, for iiossovcr Meyers, is an error of at least 30 votes. On this we will wag. r a now hat.) - V.VJ, in the county of Bedford alone, there arc enough illegal (not merely informal) returnsfrom the army, taken in connection with the fraudu lent votes which can be proved, to wipe out any of these majorities,^ HP.

ALSIP & SON, As to "throwing out soldiers' votes," con- j cerning which the Abolition papers make BO J much ado, the Democratic return judges of Bed-! ford county did not reject a single vote certi fied to there hy the l'rothonotary. But the Abolition return judges, because they were not satisfied with the Prothonotary'a certificate did , rejuie to count, t.c "soldiers' vote" find receded\ Jrom the hoard oj return judges. Their rccts.ion I lejt t..e "soldiers vote uncounf- •/, the law requir- • ing that all the judges present shall sign the ro-1 turns. ILnce. it was because of the conduct j of these mulish Abolition judges, that the "sol-! diers' vote" of Bedford county, was not inclu- j ded in the district returns, and not because of. any desire on the part of the Democrats to : throw it out; and hence that vote remained UB- J counted to this day and until recounted by the proper tribunal, tlie Democratic candidates, for Congress. President Judge and Legislature, by the very net of the Abolition return judges them selves, stand fairly and duly elected fi-ir I lie merchants of Bedford county are re spectfully referred to the card of H.

The Message. On our outside will be found the President's Message. Although we might have given our readers much more instructive and valuable matter than is furnished in this document, we felt undisposed to depnrt from our custom of publishing, in full, the annual message of the President, and, therefore, give it a place in our columns. We do not desire to disparage the merits of this "message." We could not have any rea son for such a desire. The presidential cam paign is over and politics, foi the present, are unagitated. Besides, we are well aware that it would be to our personal advantage, in imi tation of "loyal" hypocrisy, to praise the doc ument end bless its author. Hence it is not a selfish, nor even a political, motive, which im pels as to declare that we cannot endorse the views of the Presideut. Views, did we say ? We dignify the crude ideas of governmental policy, entertained by Mr. Lincoln, by styling them "views." They are mere accidental mag get*, thrust upon his fancy, a- he has frequent ly declared, by the force of circumstances. Nor ' are they original with the President. They have long since been the property of British Abolitionists and their agents in the United I _ ° , .States, Garrison, Phillips and Co. The message contains nothing new upon the Subject of the war. It has not a single sug gestion concerning the restoration of peace, except the proposition of George tho_ I bird which lost that monarch the thirteen colonies of America, to wit: "Lay down your urns, ■ ye rebels, and return to you" allegiance, or ex j pect to be exterminated from v'* c l ace l ' lo earth." The Abolition ideas of th.s message are those of former "state" papers of the JV*-?* i ident, presented in a less attractive form flud divested af all appearance of novelty. They have become "fiat, stale and unprofitable." There are, however, three decidedly original propositions in the message; first, the presen tation of a gunboat to Liberia; second, the rec ommendation of the passage of a law by Con gress, securing a certain portion of the Gov ernment bonds from taxation, and attachment for debt, so a3 to enable those who invest in thcra to cheat their neighbors; and thirdly and most extraordinary and startling, the announce ment that all political parties, the Democrats as well as the Abolitionists, are in favor of the Union ! Well, we have written upon this subject ad nauseam,. We shall drop it for the present, appealing only to flie candor of all who read the message, whether it does not fail far below what is expected of the chief executive of our country, in these days of civil commotion and national peril.

U v article, . i.pw yoT, were led, by the erroneous . of others, to publish in regard to my sermon on thanksgiving day "a base slander" upon myself and the sermon. It seems that certain fanatical persons had gone to church in anticipation of a highly-wrought political har angue. These persons were di. appointed, as they will always be when they expect anything of ibat kind from me. 1 camo to liedford to preach the gospel and tell the people of their sins, as I did in part of my discourse on thanks giving day, much to the annoyance of those who seem not tohave read the President's Proc lamation, or to have forgotten that lie called upon the people to "humble themselves in the dust and jrota thence to oJJ'cr up penitent and fervent prayers. i was called upon by the other clergy of the town ur.d pressed (contrary to my wishes, since I could not spare the time to prepare a discourse for the occasion) to preach the sermon. The sermon which 1 used had been delivered bef jre an audience in Gettysburg of twice the ' um ber, fully two-thirds of whom bob nged to he party in power. I had every reason to believe that it gave entire satisfaction and no one iu agiued iliat there was any attack on the gov ernment. sly loyalty, before this, was never called into question, and, if your paper circu lated among people who know my sentiments, I would not think the slanderous account wbicli you received and published of my sermon worth a thought, but, as you invite correc tion to bisabuse the minds of the misinformed I I give it. The (Lift of my discourse was to show that the mass of our nation is corrupt, ami that God has permitted this war in chastisement of our sins. I said, we have sinned through pride, coretousnoss, drunkenness, lack of charity, Sab bath-breaking, profanity, etc., etc., and I chal lenge all good christians to deny the charge. I said, these .sins have run into the government, and there developed themselves to nn alarming extent. I charged the responsibility of all this upon the people and called upon them to make confession and reformation in order to slay the judgements of God. I, of course, as a minis ter of the gospel look at things from a lablc stand-point, and fanatical politicians must not, therefore, measure me by their scale. The individual, who represented me as say ing that wc have nothing for which to be thank ful, uttered a "base slander," as the following paragraph from the sermon will show: "From behind a dark cloud the light is breaking through to cheer the hearts of the people. An encour aging degree of success has attended the efforts of the government to save our country from dissolution—the people have borne their trials with a commendable patience—peace has been maintained at home and tne army largely re eruiled—not only have we been free, in a great 1 measure, from invasion, but the enemy, at most points, has been driven further within his own territory—the nation has enjoyed an unusual stato of health, and, of the necessaries and comforts of life, enough and to spare. For all this we thank God and take courage." The | sermon contains much of the same kind. I | did eny, this is no time for festivity and mirth, when our fellow-citizens are Waring the hard slaps of war and the land is tilled with the wail of the widow and the cry of the orphan. 1 suppose the disloyalty fur which your pa triotic soul would consign me to the dungeon or exile in Siberia, is expressed in such sen tences as these of which the sermon is fuil: Loyalty to the government is loyalty to God— God helps those who make the most vigorous use of the means in their power—Cromwell's advice to his soldiers has the genuine ring in times like these, 'Trust to Provid euce, and keep your powder dry.' " Now I want it understood by your readers and all in this community, that I never preach party politics and never intend to do it. But I am bold to rebuke sin, whether they be tho sins of the people or the officers of the govern ment or the editors of newspapers. I seldom conduct a service without praying for our rulers. I would not consent to preach for a people who objected to my performing this part of a minis ter's duty, being a mode rate and conservative maD, I do not soar off in the cestacies of a po litical harangue in my prayers, or mention any one, hy name ; and yet God knows whom I mean and that I desire the welfare of the coun try. But for taking any other sword into the pulpit, but "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God," if any of the churches of this town requires that, they must invito those i to preach for them who do such things, i There were several things in my sermon which | were, perhaps, stated a httle too strong for a ! sensitive audience. But if any one doubts that I have given the true sentimant and drift of it, I have the manuscript to verify the statement: Should anyone of those about town who visit tho churches to scent out, in the sermons they hear, copperheads, or any other kind of serpents I but the one in their own bosom, imagine that I he understands my sentiment or the sentiments I of my sermon better than myself, I want ev- I cry such one to know that he can provoke no I further reply or notice from me. I confess that ! I feel somewhat mean in condescending to no- I tioe this, and only do so to prevent the misguid i ed or civil-disposed from impairing the influence ■ of one who is a stranger among yon. A.

Scenes of horror, the r cital of which, if occurring in India or Ethiopia, would have made our very blood curdio before we had become iuibruted by this horrible civil war, now moves u no longer. We have be come as blood-thirsty as the veriest painted devil of an Indian who once scoured the for ests which grew where our cities now stand. Our preachers are no more ministers of the gos pel of the God of peace.
