Address, MEYERS & MENGKL, Bedford, Pa. IB| 8 1 | -KQI AUTY FOR WHITE .HEX!" Somepeople imagine that every body , has long ears because they themselves i are asses. For instance, the editors of | the Bedford Inquirer suppose that they j can dupe their readers as easily as they j doeieve themselves. If they did not they would never have printed the ar ticle which appeared under the above caption in their last week's issue. It is entirely, utterly false thai the Southern States have greater proportionate repre sentation in Congress than the other States, on account of three-fifths of their JVegroes being counted in the apportion ment. THEY if AYE LESS PRO -I>< )RTIONATE R E P RE S E N T A TION FOR THEIR NEGROES THAN PENNSYLVANIA IIAS. Hut three-fifths of their colored popula tion are counted in their apportion ment of members of Congress. IN PENNSYLVANIA AND ALL THE NORTHERN STATES, ALL THE X E< 1 ROES A RE COUNTED IN TIIE APPORTK )NMENT—not three-fifths, but ALL of them. In Pennsylvania we do the voting for one hundred thousand negroes, and if they were thrown out of the count in the appor tionment, Pennsylvania would hare but instead of ill Congressmen. How un just, then, to talk about representation for three fifths of the Southern Negroes, when we have representation for all of ours. But if the Inquirer wants White Equality as badly as it does Black, let it call upon its party to move in Con gress for a Convention of the States, and let all the inequalities in represen tation be cured Lot such "rotten 1m tr oughs" as Rhode I sland and such small States as Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire, instead of having more Senators in theU. S. Senate than the great States of New York, Penn sylvania and Ohio, be represented in that body in proportion to their popu lation, and then there would be some "equality for white men." But at present the six New England States, with but population sufficient to give them 22 Congressmen, have 12Senators, whilst Pennsylvania with population enough to give her 24 Congressmen, has but 2U. S. Senators! Talk about the three fifths rule and equality for white men after that! WANTED—Some boys to till the wa gons for the next Radical mass meet- 13 3 3 I A POINT ANSWERED. Among the many points raised by the Radicals for the purpose of confus ing the minds of the people in regard to the real issues of this campaign- Disunion and Negro Suffrage—is this, that the Southern States are at present entitled to representation for their ne groes. Now, the truth concerning this matter is, that three fifths only of the colored population of the South are counted in the apportionment of rep resentatives in Congress. A vulgar notion is also entertained by some peo ple, that, owing to this mode of appor tioning members of Congress for the South, one man casts three votes!!! — The fact is, that, whilst in the South three fifths only of the colored popula tion are counted in the apportionment, in the north Ml the colored people are counted. Thus, instead of this rule operating against the North, it works to her advantage and against the inter ests of the South. In Pennsylvania, by the counting of the colored population, one Congressman is added to the num ber given us by the white population. In other Northern States still more Congressmen are produced by count ing the negroes. The. negro popula tion of the North, t<x), is rapidly increasing, whilst that of the South is as rapidly decreasing. It is estimated that one half of the numlier of colored people in the South at the beginning of the war, have perished. The re mainder are being fast thinned out by disease and emigration to the North under the auspices of the. Freedmen's Bureau. Now, one half of the negroes of the South having perished, under the next apportionment the Southern States will have but half the number of representatives for their negroes they have at present, and the North, having largely increased in colored population, will gain in proportion to such increase. Hence, there is neither I sense, nor justice, in the clamor about the South being represented in Con ! gress for three-fifths of her negroes.— The Constitution provides this three | fifth rule, and it also provides that ! small States like Rhode Island, Ver | inont ard Connecticut, and new and thinly populated States like Kansas, Nevada and Oregon shall have as ma ny U. S. Senators as Pennsylvania, or | New York, or Ohio. If one inequali ty in the Constitution is to be corrected, then let all be corrected, if there is t he no representation for negroes in the South, let there lie none in the North. If all are to be equally repre sented in the Government, then let the New Engiand and the thinly popula ted States remember their right to e leet as many U. S. Senators as the larger and more populous States. Ixh (justice be done though the heavens j fall, nay, though the Radical party j break into atoms. WiU our brethren of the Democratic ' Press ventilate this subject 1 THE RADICAL KEIIEI.S. The conspirators against the Govern ment held a "National" Convention at Philadelphia, last week. Among the prominent delegates to that Conven tion were Ex. Gov. Pease and A. J. Hamilton of Texas, F.J. Durant, of Louisiana, D. R. Goodloo, of North Carolina, Judge Bona and J. A. J. Cresswell, of Maryland, all of whom were violent Secessionists and-Rehels at the begining of the war. Hamilton and Cresswell both commanded com panies of Rebels at one time, and as for the rest, they did more to excite the minds of the Southern people against the people of the North than any of the leading Generals in the Rebel ser vice. Among the delegates to this Convention from the Northern States were the Negro FRED. DOCGLASS and such desperate men as Gov. Wil liamCurtis, Theodore Tiiton,Ben. But ler, and others. This motley crew are trying to stir up a rebellion against * President Johnson. They want place, power and social position, and because they can't get it under Johnson, they are plotting to overturn the govern ment. GEARY was with them, cheek by jowl, in their Convention, in their processions, and wherever they made speeches. Will the people, can they, endorse such proceedings? WHITE, BLACK VMM.I AKY ! Fred. Douglass, P. B. Randolph and other negroes were delegates to the "Loyalist" Convention at Philadelphia last week. Gen. Geary was also there and was seated upon the platform with the officers of the Convention. Will the Bedford Inquirer inform its readers of this fact? MWI vi l li. Numbers of Republicans are disgust ed with Geary's recent association with Fred. Douglass and other negroes at the Philadelphia Radical Convention. This and Thad. Stevens' and John Williamson's speeches are enough to break the back ol any party, and even the "Republican" party cannot bear up under them. GRAND MASS MEETING! THE COURT HOUSE JAMMED! GREAT SPEECHES BY HON. F. M. KIMMELL AND WM. HARTLEY, ESQ.! HOW ARE YOU, TRADDEUS STE VENS? The largest meeting ever assembled In the Court House, was held on Wednesday evening, sth inst. The immense concourse occupied every inch of room inside of the building, whilst numbers could not find entrance. The enthusiastic Democrats turned out in all their strength, whilst numbers of "Republicans" were present to testify their disgust at the doctrines of Thud. Stevens and the blackguardism of John Williamson. The ladies, God bless them! were also out in full force, and the Democratic Brass Band enlivened the occasion with soul-stirring music. COL. F. 1). BEEGLE, of St. Clair tp., was appointed Preisdent of the meeting. James Sill, Richard Lang don, Josiah Ritchey, A. Perdew, Sam uel Boor, Jeremiah Black, John B. Flu.-k, Josiah Miller, Samuel Roigh ard and Jacob Lingenfelter, Esq's, were appointed Vice Presidents; and J. Pi per Smith, Wm. Whip and Jrhn C. Miiler, Esq's,Secretaries. Col. Boogie, on taking the chair, addressed the meeting in a neat and appropriate speech. HON. F. M. KIMMELL was then introduced to the meeting, by Hon. Job Mann, as the first speaker of the evening. Judge Kimmellmadeone of the ablest speeches ever listened to in Bedford county. lie showed up the Revolutionary character of the faction which now rules in Congress, and ex hibited the Negro Suffrage doctrines of the loaders of the Radical party in their true light. His remarks were frequently interrupted with outbursts of applause. W.M. HARTLEY, Esq., was then called out, and in a speech of great clearness and power, discussed the is sues before the people. " Mr. Hurt ley made a decided impression upon his hearers, many of whom went away satisfied that their late affiliation with the Radical party was a great error, and resolving that they would in fu ture act with the National Union De mocracy. The meeting then adjourned amid loud cheering for Hiester Clyraer and the Democratic ticket. A WOll OF HAHMXti. Our enemies are fighting this cam paign with the energy of desperation. Their organization is perfect. Their emissaries are at work in every neigh borhood. Their leaders in this town have lists of the voters, with the poli tics, l\ O. address, and such other par ticulars of each as will aid them to se duce him into their pernicious d<>c trinos. They are Hooding the country with political papers and pamphlets, seemingly plausible, but written with the diabolical cunning that has always characterized Abolition Literature, and filled with the basest mis-represen tation and falsehood. They are also spending money lavishly, and resort ing to all the corrupt and infamous a goncies used again-t us last fall, in the hope of reducing our majority still fur ther at the coming election. Fellow Democrats, forewarned is forearmed. Be vigilant, he active.— The skies are bright. Never before for several years have we had such bright prospects of success. If we are beat en it will be our own fault. Shall we sleep while our enemies work, and be startled from our security, by the crash of defeat as we were last fall ? Rather let our watchword he work! WORK! WORK! Talk with'your neighbors. Explain the Negro and other issues. I.vt us do our whole duty, and wcshall bury Radical Fanaticism so deep on the Oth <iay of October, that the trump f ltessurrection will not wake it. VEKHWM'. At-. This State lias not been <v rried by t he Democracy within thememoryof man. It generallygivesabout2s,oob"Repub lican" majority, and as they don't know what a negro is in that State, they vote for negro-ph: lists all the time. Hut the "Republicans" quar reled among themselves this time and succeeded in electing but two Congress men. Vermont and Maine, being New England States, weexj; nothing from them ; but we expect to, nay we know that we will, carry the Middle and nearly all of the Western States. The Democrats and Conservatives claim (50- 000 majority in New York, 20,000 in Pennsylvania, 25,000 in Maryland, 15,- 000 in Ohio, 15,000 in Indiana, 15,000 in Illinois, 10,000 in Wisconsin, 8,000 in Michigan, 3,000 in Minnesota, and if there be a free ballot, 20,000 in Missou ri. Kentucky has already given 50,- 000 Conservative majority. THE GAME OF IlKAtil IJrag is a good dog, but 1 fold <)n is n better. The Radical will experience J the truth of this adage soon enough. t'l.Al' TK VP ! Of all the infernal, outrageous, des- i operate and damnable lies that ever dis-1 graced the newspaper press, those with s which the Radical sheets are now teem-• ing, are the most bold and shameless, j If all the fiends in hell were let loose; and each of them had forty tongues of forty Tom Peppers, and on each tongue were the quintessence of all the false hoods Tom Pepper ever told, they could not lie faster or more villainous ly than do the men whom the Presi dent has driven to tlu- wall.

The proceedings of the Philadelphia National Union Convention were re ceived in Europe by the holders of U. S. bonds, with great joy. The bonds at once rose in value, and the news was telegraphed over the Atlantic Cable. This news did not suit ilie Radicals at all, so they had the word "Rebel" in serted before bonds, in the place of "Federal," and are now bellowing iike so many bulls of Bashan about the pro ceedings of the Philadelphia Convon , tion causing a rise in the price of "Reb el" bonds. The Philadelphia Ledyer, a "Republican" paper, says that the dispatch read "Federal bonds," and that its alteration is a transparent trick to make political capital. Shann on such demcgogueisin. HON. B. E. MEYERS, editor of that well known and excellent paper, the Bedford C'txefte, has been nominated by the Democrats and Conservatives as their candidate for State Senator in the Somerset, Bedford and Ful don district, with a good prospect of success.

Few men in the State who have never held a public office are so well and thorough ly acquainted with the people, policy and wants of Pennsylvania :LS Mr. Meyers. Popular at home and abroad as a gentleman of character and abili ty, he will meet the Radical disunion ists as a brave man should—wipe out their small majority in his district and take his seat at the State Capitol as the representative of white men, and a true and tried friend of the Uuion and the C onstitution. — (ji niuis qf Liberty.
