The time is not far off when a few of these double-dyed scoundrels who can violate their oath of office and rob the mails of campaign documents to gratify their partisan ma lignity, will i>e called to account for their crimes and be punished as they deserve. ______________ A IIESI'EKATE WARE!

What A Pity ! ! ! Those wonderfully particular friends of the soldier, the scribblers for the Bedford Inquirer, indulge, in their last Issue, in a most pitiful jeremiad in re lation to the course of Col. Filler in of fering himself as the independent can didate for the Legislature. We are no apologist for Col. Filler's past political conduct, neither do we deem it necessa ry to defend his present-course as a can didate for public office. He is an inde prudent man, as well as an independent- j candidate, and is abundantly able to take care of himself. BtiL tlie Inquirer lugs in our name as a b;ig-a-boo to frighten away timid people from the support of Col. Filler. Oh! "B. F. Meyers!" this "It. F. Meyers!' what a terrible thing it is that" B. F. Meyers should be in favor of any boily's elec tion! "it. F. Meyers" who "opposed : the war and the soldiers!" "B. F. Meyers," who played the devil with everything in general and the editors of the Inquirer in particular! <>f course, the soldiers will be frightened at the very idea and will give Coi. Filler the , widest berth jHjssibte! But, Burbor- ! row A* Lutz, what's the use to lie? You know that this terrible fellow, "B. F. Meyers," never, mcer "opposed the soldiers." You know that hccontribil- : ted hundreds of dollars to the bounty fund of Bedford borough, you know that he went out with Capt. Lyons, ('apt. Met/gar, ( apt. Bnughmanand others, and helped them to recruit, you know that this same "B. F. Meyers," when in the Legislature, got up a Com- Knittee, of which he was chairman, to | improve the condition < i Camp Curtin, so that it might be tit for the reception of the returning veterans, you know that he offered a resolution in the 1 louse of lieprosentativestoinstructthomem- ' liers of Congress from Pennsylvania to vote for an increase of the pay of pri- j vate soldiers, you know that he voted for the Amendment to give the soldiers | the right to votein the army, and know ing these tilings, why do you wilfully j state the contrary and pervert a record which is better tlian you&s ever was, toward the soldier? Why? Not l>e | cause you hope to injure "B. F. ■ Meyers." Your lies about him are an ! oid song and nobody pays any atteii- j • I tion to them. But, because by associ-' ating him with Col. Filler, you hope to strike at a gallant soldier, whose popularity you dread, and who, you tear, will not, if elected, do your bid ding, or that of the clique in Bedford ! borough, to which you belong. That lis all! But howi away, and blow a ' way, and lie ahead! You can't hurt a j hair of Col. Filler's head, and as for • "B. F. Meyers," you can lather away at him just as much is you please, for ten years service upon tie battle-fields of politics juts made him bullet-proof, at least as against the paper peii.'ts of ; such Lilliputians as tho.-, wito do the scribbling and lying for the Bedford Inquirer.

Un Thursday last the eyes of the good jieople of Bedford were opened to the fact which we have often announ ced, that the colored people in tliis neighborhood have a secret /ear/a , the | object of which is to obtain eiptal po litical and social rights with the white man. On that day the negroes of this 1 neighborhood belonging to the league, held a meeting in the woods alxive town, whither they marched in proces sion, wearing paper badge- bearing the inscription, "Equal Rights League, | No. 38." Their meeting was address ed by J. T. Keagy, J. il. Cessna and others of the Radical -pouters in this neighborhood. Toward evening the | colored gentiemcn became quite dem onstrative, Captain Whisky having as ; sumed command of their forces, and as our old friend, Neheniiali Eicegie, a re spectable white man, wa- driving up the turn-pike, they came out, attacked and beat him terribly. Such is the ten dency of Radicalism. Such are the i fruits of Tiuid. Stevens' speech in Bed ford. Keagy, Cessna and company haranguing negroes!

I*iT)iTi)iiOn yesterday, for the first time, Mr. 11. ' '!;iy Shipley was at my house and read to me a eommuni- ' cation from this city to the "Bedford i Inquirer," signed "Ju-tiee," which Mr. S. s.-orned very much to enjoy. The article to wnich I am ahout to, advert, \v j'lld have escaped my notice i (as no one having any pretension-' to ! respectability in thl-community woaid j suffer so vile and tilthy a shoe) as the ! •"Bedford Inquirer" to he received in j their family had not this eommunicj.- . tion been at to Mr. He.vt, one of mV lis >;;;■■ Per •. -x parting thereby ihat.it j would reach my eye. 'flie writer of the letter affixes the signature of "Jw ti. e," most in pprepriate for an ardcle so devoid of truth and embodying o : mticli malignity and venom; indeed the malice of the writer is only equal ed by his arrant cowardice. Some -liort time since [.addressed to j your paper a communication detailing I the proceeding of the Disunion Abo- ! lition Convention held here, which ev ery citizen knew was a ridiculous fail ure, indeed the fidelity of the account and the extreme sensitiveness of the correspondent of the"Jnqairer," attest the truth of my narrative. No read- j er of my former letter to your paper will be deceived by the denial of this j correspondent, who fears to commit his name to his own production. 1 am authorized, then, iu inferring' that this nameless correspondent, conscious of the many falsehoods contained in his communication, was unwilling to com mit even his cowardly name to the tis sue of lies, with which it abounds, and therefore contented himself with a reekh - and general denial of my ac count of the Disunion meeting held in this place. This scurrilous and cow ardly writer makes a personal attack on me. lie feit the sting of the article and feared the effect, or else lie would have attempted to siiow its falsity and j not have resorted to scurrility and a- 1 huso and then sheltered his cowardly carcass under so inappropriate a name j its that of "Justice. ' As the "Bedford Inquirer" lias no j circulation in this city, the letter from I Cumberland would have fallen stiil- j j born; but it owes its currency and cir- 1 ! dilation solely to a disappointed Ab ! olitioti ollice-seeker who is sojourning •in our midst. But to the letter signed I ".justice." This nameless knight of I the quill indulges in choice and elegant i phrases ; he says that lam "an igno | ramus and could not write a single sen ; tence correctly if it were to save my neck." As to the truth of tiiis I leave the public to judge. He says further, that lam "blessed with just about as much bruins as i - necessary to make a good c opperhead Rebel sympathizer." Adopting bis peculiar and gentienian j ly si vie of expression, I could retort by j sa/ing that he has brains sufficient to ; make a "niggerhead," but certainly has neither the brains or horn-sty to make a "copperhi il," or a gentleman. | 1 was induced by curiosity, as I sta j tod in my former letter, to be present j at the Disunion meeting and gave what I believed then, and still done, but appended my name, for any kind of responsibility ' which it might evoke. 1 now as-ert ! and would be wi ling to wager any ; thing in iva- ni, that if the name of \ the correspondent of the "Bedford In quirer" here, could bea-' errc.ined, that I he would turn out to have been an Ab ! olition office-iiolder, who was. doubt leas, removed by the (jovernment be cause of his Abolition and Disunion proclivities. With reference to the gentleman trt whom the authorship of my letter to you has been ascribed, and who has been so ruthlessly and malignantly as sailed by the "Inquirer's" correspond ent, I have only this to say, that I have known him for twenty years, and that he woulddisdain to assail any man un der a fictitious signature. It was for the fearless expression of his opinions and for the hold avowal of his princi ples, that he was arrested and held for mouths by the preceding Administra tion. and 1 am sure that i echo the sen timents of every man in this eommu nity, whose opinions are worth regar ding, that the fidelity with which that gentleman clung to opinions which he deemed to be right, would receive their approbation, not their censure. 1 would add, too, that the gentleman to whom this slanderous correspondent alluded, was not present at the Disun ion meeting; indeed, since he has re turned to this community, where lie once before resided, he has not inter fered, or engaged, in the polities of the day, notwithstanding the wishes of his friends that lie would do so. / was present at the Disunion meeting in this place, and for the letter and its con tents addr-ssed to your paper, / atone uui ix's/toiisibfi'.
