The nethermost hell must have spew- ! etl out its vilest fiend; the toughest devil of all the damned that are roast ing in purgatorial fires, must have re visited earth; nay, the prince of Pan-1 demouium himself must be unchained; j for no human heart could conceive so malignant, so wicked and so diabolical j a trick as that attempted to t>e palmed off upon the public in a telegram sent from this place, the tenor of which is j that Mr. Meyers, the Democratic can didate for Senator, in a late speech eu logized J. Wilkes Booth. The miser able, unanointed, unwashed scoundrel who sent that telegram dares not face Mr. Meyers and acknowledge its au thorship. He is a liar, a villain and a coward! His stabs in the dark are those-of an assassin whose heart is blacker than that of Booth, but unlike Booth's, his blows, though nerved with a malicious and deadly intent, are per fectly harmless and only recoil upon those whom he would serve. A vaunt, thou cowardly devil! "Get thee back into the tempest, and the Night's Plu tonian shore!" In other words, go to the Devil who has a mortgage upon you for a hundred times the value of your petty three cent soul! What for Bedford County ? Shall Bedford county have represen tation in the next Legislature ? That is the quest ion. TheConstitutionof Penn sylvania gave Bedford county separate representation and under it one John Cessna once < ibta i ned a seat in the I louse of Representatives, though largely de feated in the district, Somerset and Bedford. If Bedford county was then entitled to separate representation, why should she not be now? If Bedford is to lie represented in the next Legisla ture, by her own citizens, she must be represented by Col. Filler and B. F. Meyers. There are no other candidates for either branch of the Legislature, in Bedford county. 1 fence Bedford coun ty must be unrepresented in the Legis lature, or represented by Somerset and Fulton men, if Filler and Meyers are not elected. A CALCULATION. The Radical papers of this Congres sional district have been flattering their readers witlycaleulatioiis on the vote of the district, which are about as near the truth as Munchausen's story about elimbing to the moon on a Iwan-stalk. Now, we will give some figures: Democratic. Disunion. Adams, Job maj. Bedford, olio " Franklin, I<HI " Fulton, 2so 44 Somerset, o°° 1,250 two Dem. maj. J-'iO We Call Do It Again. In istil, Bedford county gave McClel lan iL'il majority. She can do it again, if her full Democratic vote be polled. There are :},UUO Democratic voters in Bedford county. Let them all lie got to the polls and our majority cannot fall below 000. Now let us see whether the full vote cannot be polled. Wrong End Foremost! The Radicals won't agree that the Southern States shall come back to the Union, unless they come in black end foremost. We object to that! We want the white end foremost. To the Polls. Forward, the whole Line! From left to right, from Woodberry to Cen tre vi lie, from Ray's Hill to Buena Vis ta, charge! You are fighting for a glo rious cause! Democracy, the bright est jewel in the historian's pen, the sub limest theme on the poet's page, the grandest theory that ever came from the statesman'sbrain ; Democracy, the corner-stone of liberty, the life-blood of the nation, the very breath in the nostrils of the people; Democracy, the gift of heaven to a free and virtuous people, the blood-bought legacy of our Revolutionary fathers, the gentle bap tism, sprinkled upon the greatest peo ple that ever lived; O, will you not all rally, rally as one man for Democra cy? Come, old men, who would see peace and re-union ere you close your eyes in everlasting sleep! Come, ye middle-aged, who would do a good work for yourselves an<l posterity ! Come, youth, with your heart of fire and your visions of a glorious future! Gather around that banner which has never been trailed in the dust, which bears upon it thirty-six stars, the em blem of an unbroken Union, come and do battle under its bright and glorious folds. "Strike! till the last Hark foe expires. Strike for your altars and your fires. Strike! for the green graves of your sires, (iod and your native land Another Draft! Quotas for Bedford County! Democrats of Bedford county! On Tuesday next you can and must poll 3,<HK) votes! If you getout every Dem ocrat to the polls, you can and will do it. Geary rail not get over 21<>0, to do his best. This would leave I'lyiner 600 majority. In order that the men in each township may know what they will have to do in order to poll this number of votes, we givethefollowing quotas. Let every district strive to come up to and if possible to exceed these figures. Now, men, fill your quotas! Now, good and true and faith ful working-men, strive as you have never striven before! ltoll up your sleeves and let's give them thunder! The several districts will please give us the following Democratic vote: Bedford bor., 11" Bedford tp., 2*o Broad Top, To Bloody Run, 35 Coaldale, 15 C. Valley, ?'

W. oo Schellsburg, 50 Southampton, 2T5 Snake Spring, *•" St. Clair, 21" Union, 10" Wood berry M., 15" Wood berry S., 130 3,000 Wagons! Wagons! Southampton township is very ex tended in territory and many of its voters must travel a great distance to get to the polls. But old Southamp ton must pott even/ Democratic vote within it* borders at this election. The same may be said of Cumberland Val ley and several other townships. Let wagons be prepared in every nook and corner of these townships and let the voters ride out to the polls. Let the Disunionists hear thunder from these districts. Attend to the wagons, hoys! Front Face! Kycs right! Flankers, advance! Now, boys,CHARGE! Hurrah! J/ur roh! Hurrah! CLYMHit leads the van! Follow the white plume of your gallant leader! The black feather will IK- dotlcd before your irresistible onset! Here we go over the enemy's breast works! Geary's ditch is on the wrong side! Bresson! Now they fly! Dis union surrenders! The flag of fhtrip six stars floats in triumph over the Keystone State! Hip, Hip, Hurrah! Justice! We appeal to our "Republican'' friends who know, that instead of eu logizing the assassin Rooth, we de nounced the crime he committed and condemned any thing that might he said in its favor, to say whether it is not an outrage to attempt to blacken our good name by representing us as saying the very opposite of what we did say ? We are profit Ito say that we have many personal friends among the "Republicans" who cannot fail to see the foul attempt to injure us iu this un fair and contemptible manner. We ask for justice at their hands will they accord it? THE GREAT ISSUE AT THE COMINU ELECTION ISTIIHQFKS TION OF NEGRO SUFFRAGE.— 7 Tuul. .Stevens (see Bedford Inquirer). Now for Clymer! Honest Hiester Clymer, of Berks County! Who would not vote for him in preference to the renegade Geary who hits changed his polities half a doz en times for the sake of getting office; who hid himself in a ditch at Cliepul tepee, and who ran and left his bravo soldiers in the lurch at Sniokersvillc! Why, even the Franklin Repository, so late as last week, spoke of Clymer as a man of "BLAMEDESS PERSON A L CHARACTER"—the Franklin Repos itory, edited by Col. McClure who ad dressed the Radical Mass Meeting, in Bedford, on Tuesday evening of Court j week Now, for Clymer and the Union! The Union forever, hurrah boys, hurrah, | Down with Tbad. Stevens And up with the law. For we'll rally 'round the flag, boy,, We'll rally once again. Shouting the battle-ery of Freedom Hon. J. McD. Sharpe. One of the noblest men in this Con gressional district, is Hon. J. McD. Sharpe, of Chambersburg. He is an honorable,talented,educated gentleman and will reflect credit upon the district if elected. We commend him to the support of the people and bespeak lor him the united support of the Democ racy of Bedford county. 0. E. Shannon. Now, what Democrat can refuse to vote for O. E. Shannon, a man who has done as much for the party as any man in Bedford county, a man who has always been true, a man who is re spected and loved by all who know him? We say, cling to Shannon! You cannot lind it in your hearts to '"scratch him! What! Would you-strike down a true man like Shannon? Impossi ble! If Esq. Lingcnfelter had remain ed in the Democratic party, he would have received your votes; he could have asked them with a good grace. But, clever ft How as he is, iie has done the Democratic party too much harm by his course, to ask a reward for what he has done. We are sorry, and we know many others are sorry that he acted as he did, but he chose to do so, and he cannot blame us now for refu sing to vote for him. Stick to Shan non andgivelum an old-fashioned ma jority. Robert Steckman. Democrats, you have an excellent man for Sheriff. Robert •Steckman is widely known us one of the best busi ness men in thccounty. lle isa straight forward, honest, fair-minded man. Stand by him and elect him by an o verwhelming majority. David Howsare, Esq. There is no better man in Bedford county, morally speakiqg, than David Howsare. Besides, lie is a man of Rood business qualifications, writes a good hand, is a man of excellent judgment and will do justice in all matters per taining to the office for which he is a candidate. He will make a first-rate Commissioner. We refer all who doubt thisstatemont to 1 lon. Job Mann, who has had many business transac tions with him. Honest Mike Diehl. Every body in this neighborhood knows honest old Michael Diehl. He will make a first rate Director < f the Poor. No man can say a word against him. Stand np for him, Democrats! He L a good and true man and deserves your support. Geo. W. Gump. Esq. For Associate Judge, our ticket hears the name of G. W. (Jump. Mr. Gump is a gentleman eminently qualified for the position for which he is a candi date. He gave a son to the service of the Fnion, a noble boy, who sleeps the quiet slumber of death on the hanks of the Juniata. Mr. (jump has always been a patriot and a good Fnion man. Terribly Scared! The great uprising of the people a gainst Disunion and Negro Equality, thunders its terrors from the political Sinai, in the ears of the Radical lead ers. They are frightened to death ! They are depressed, dispirited, almost broken-hearted! Poor fellows! They whistle like a boy going through a grave-yard after night, to keep up their courage! It's all over with them! They shall return "To the vile dust from whence they sprung, Unwept, unhou >re<i end unsung ! Lying Handbills! The Radical Disunionists are flood ing the county with hand-bills con taining the most and outra geous lies. Beware of them! They are gotten up to decievt*! Colonizing. Ijook out for imported voters. We have information that the enemy have imported into Broad Top and ot her dis tricts ahuig the railroad, a large num ber of men from Maryland and other States, for the purpose of voting them at-thecoining eleetion. We eaution the the Democrats of those districts and par ticularly of Broad Top lp., against this scheme. Lot a challenger he at the polls and let every stranger be sworn as to his residence in the State and district. Also, let his papers be examined, if a foreigner. Numbers of these men vote annually at the Broad Top polls on their first papers, wfraudulent ones. This must be prevented. Look out, men of Broad Top! And let the eleetion board also look out, for such frauds shall not go unpunished. Buying Voters. I iust year the Abolitionists used mon ey to keep Democratic voters at home in this county. We have spotted the man whoftieni-lwd it, and the men who were bought. This game is being tried on again, and ice know the men engaged in it. If they attempt to carry out their nefarious design, we shall see that the Court of QuartcrSessions has some business with them. Stick a pin right there! Defaming the Dead. The Radieil loaders have fixed up a list of so-called "deserters," whom tiiey propose to disfranchise, and among this list arc the names of numbers of sol diers who laid down their lives for their country. In the list for Bloody Run borough, appears the name of Herman K lull re, who died whilst in the ser vice. Jsn't this a shame? Last Cards. Beware of eleventh hour roor-backs, such as the hand-bills circulated by the" Radicals about Gen. Grant, and others of a similar character. They are all false, from beginning to end, and in tended to gull the unwary. Beware of them! Voting Minors. The enemy will undertake to vote per sons under w/r by having them assessed and their taxes paid. This is an old trick of theirs and our friends should object to and examine every voter whose beard looks rather downy.— Watch this game! We're all a-climbing. We Clymer boys are all a-climbing! j climb! climb! climbing! We're all a-climbing over Geary's works! And we'll climb to the citadel and plant our banner, in victory, upon its highest I pinnacle! For we're all a-climbing, : tkc. Tie Your Tickets! <)ur friends in every election district should have their tickets readycw/,/oM cd and fit if be/ore cfeefioi+rfaj/ ! Have your ammunition well prepared! Let it be to the enemy as the needle-gun of the Prussians was to the Austrians ! Ready, AIM, FIRE! Early to the Polls. Go to the polls EARLY! Vote at | once and then see that your neighbors turn out and vote. Get out every man! GLORIOUS OLD ALD3TADT! if ever there wasafriendof the rights | of the white man, it is Sheriff Ald stadt. He has always stood by the lib erties of the people. When the ballot box was surrounded by armed men sfnt to intimidate voters in ISfil, he j stood between them and the people. So now when aset of political despera does are trying to disfranchise white men for the purpose of enfranchising negroes, he refuses to yield to them one i inch. Hurrah for Aldstadt! What does he care for your scare-crow of an i Abolition prosecution ! Ile knows the right and dares maintain it, and he I will be .sustained. , WHITE END FOREMOST ! The difference between t'lyiner and Geary is just this : Clymer is in favor of bringing the Southern States into the ITiion white cnrlforemost; Ileary is in favor of bringing them in block end foremost or not atoll. Which end are you in favor of? General Grant. General Granthu-s again rebuked the Radicals in their attempt to manufac ture political opinions -for him. In a letter to a Itrigadier General who had attributed certain political sentiments to Grant, the latter makes use of the following language: 44 You nor no man fi( in 'J Is out horizcl to speakfo- me fir. po' :r -' '' out'' / icunt errrif riwn'f" n >nr<linp to his own j nil;) met it without injlurrw from me." Read. Letter from a late "Republican." The following extracts are from a letter of Dr. J. Kigafoos, brother of Rev. Geo. Sigafoos, formerly of this place, who has been a life-long " Re publican" and who was a surgeon in the army during the war. Read it: WEST MILTON, MIAMI CO ,O. ) Sept. 23, 1866. j Df.au Brother:—l am determined now to leave here, for the Radical Dis unionists are getting so tyrannical that a man's life is not safe if he will not a gree to let them traduce the character of the best men in the land and say nothing. In the last few weeks they have been busy calling President John son a "traitor." A member of Con gress said here in a speech, "Johnson, the old traitor, would and should by bis vote, be tried for treason and driv en from his seat." When they try this game, you will hear of your brother James going to the "wars again." I helped to put down the Southern rebel lion and will go again to put down the Northern traitors, if they do notecase their usurpation. If I were President Johnson, Congress should not legislate another day, unless when they meet again, the clerk of the House calls the roll of all the States. There is no time for Union men to while away. We j had better "take the bull by the horns" | at once. If we only beat them at the i ballot-box in the coming election, we j are safe. Their treason would be so j glaring, if they would attempt, after a defeat at the polls, to overthrow the ! government, that they could muster but a small force to back them. Many of the soldiers are leavingtheir sinking ship. How a Union soldier can sup port such a motley crew is more than I can divine. Fred. Douglass, Ben But ler Anna Dickinson, Randolph (darkey) and Theo. Tilton, marching into their den, two and two, like the beasts into Noah's ark, "each after their kind," and not much difference in the kind either! Phew! Get away with such a mixture! I have just read the speech of that old arch traitor, Thad. Stevens, made at Bedford, a few days since! A more damnable black-guard does not exist. He is now getting the people of the North just where Jeff Davis & Co. got theSouth before its destruction, and let me say to the people of Bed bird county, that if they sustain Thad deus Stevens' traitorous schemes, THEY WILL HEAR THE THUN DER OF CANNON AND THE CRASH OF CONTENDING ARMS in every State and county of theXorth, before three years shall roll around. The soldiers at ( ieveland have gi von us to understand where they will he found. Let the Disunion leaders of the North beware, or they will find themselves down at Fortress Monroe, in irons, keeping company with Jeff Davis, some of these days. For twen ty years I have voted in opposition to the Democratic party, but now for the sake of the Union and for the sake of peace, I shall vote its ticket and hope all good Union men in your county j will do likewise. JAMES SIGAFOOS. To the Peace People. There i.s a large hotly of religionists, who are among our best citizens, and whom we respect very highly, whose creed is adverse to war, and to partici pation in battle. These men profess to "love peace and to desire harmony among men. I ience, we are induced to appeal to them to aid us in restoring peace and fraternal relations between the people of the North and the South. Do you not see that the Radical party is striving to keep up bitterness and bad blood be tween the people of the two sections? Do they not appeal to the passions ofthe Northern people by denouncing and vil iifying the people of the South? Do they not scatter broad-cast prints of scenes during the late horrible war in order to excite hatred in the hearts of the Northern people as against those of the South? llowthen, if you are for peace and good will among men, can you approve of such conduct and how can you vote with such a party? We speak plainly. We address you as Hunkers, and Friends and as Peace Christians. Will you practice what you profess? Some of you will, we know. Buteven nowthe Radical leaders in this town boast that they have you in their leading strings and that they will have you vote contrary to the tenets of your own religious creed. Are they lying a bout you, or not? We shall see. The Great Seare-crow! The Radical Disunionists hang all their hopes upon scaring those persons whom they have branded as ''deser ters" from attending the election. This is their great scare-crow. Let no man be frightened thereat. Let every citi zen goto the polls and UKMAND HIS Y< >TE. 1 leeannot be hurt for it. Not a hair of his head will be touched. Go and vote—aye, VOTE AT TDK RISK OF P.FLEETS! Beware of Corruption. The Radicals, here, are using every corrupt agency that can possibly be re sorted to, to make a vote. Elforte of the mod infamous character are being made all over the county. Eel low Democrats, good men and true, lu-ware of them. The Law of the Land. DECISIO.Y.OF THE NEPKEWE COERT, ox the kioht or so-< \i.ij:i> OESEKTEUS TO VOTE! Election Officers. Read! The following i 3 the opinion of the j Supreme Court in regard to the right of so-called "deserters" to vote. It de- j elares the Act of Congress void and of course the art of the Legislature based upon the void Act of Congress is also void. A MAN MUST FIRST BE TBI ED, (X )X VICTED A XI) KEX TEN( El) as a deserter before he can be deprived of his right to vote. So say the Supreme Court. Read for yourselves: The act of l SO6 provided for general courts martial, and made minute and careful regulations for their organiza tion, for the conduct of their proeeed j ings, and for the approval or disappro | vai of their sentences. Subsequent acts j made some changes, but they have not restrained the jurisdiction or dirninish ied the powers of such courts. It is to such a code of laws, forming a system devised for the punishment of desertion, that the twenty-first section of the act of March 3,1 SUA, was added. It refers S plainly to pre-existing laws. It has the j single object of increasing the penalties, ! but it does not undertake to change or dispense with the machinery provided ! for punishing the crime. The common rules of construction demand that it be read as if it had been incorporated into ! former acts. And if it had been, if the 1 act of 1806 and its supplements had pre scribed that the penalty for desertion or failure to report within a designated ! time after notice ordraft (which the act i of 1860 declares desertion) should be ! punished, on conviction of the same, | with forfeitureofcitizenshipamldeath, 1 or in lieu of the latter, such other pun i ishmont as by the sentence of a court j martial may beinflicted,would anyone i contend that any portion of this pun ishment could be inflicted without con viction and sentence? Assuredly not. : And ifnot, so must the act of 1860 be con : strued now. ft means that the forfeit . urewhichit prescribes, like all other pen ! allies for desertion, must bo adjudged to the convict, d person after trial by a j court martial and sentence approved. For the conviction and sentence of such a court there can be no substitute. They j alone establish the guilt of the accused ! and fasten upon him the legal conse j quences. Such, we think, is the true meaning of the act, a construction that I cannot he denied to it without losing ! sight of all the previous legislation re specting the same subject matter, no part j of which does this act profess to alter. It in;# be added that this construc tion is not onlv required by the univer-; sallv admitted rules of statutory inter pretation, but it is in harmony with the personal rights secured by the Consti tution, and which Congress must be pre sumed to have kept in view. It gives to the accused a trial before sworn judges, a right to challenge, an opportunity of defense, the privilege of hearing the witnesses against him, and of calling witnesses in his behalf. It preserves to him the common-law presumption of innocence until he has been adjudged guilty, according to the forms of law. It gives finality to a single trial. If tried by a court martial and acquitted, his in nocence can never again be called in question, and he can be made to suffer no part of the penalties prescribed for guilt. On the other hand, if a record of conviction by a lawful court be not a pre requisite to suffering the penalty of the law.theact of Congress may work intol erable hardships. The accused will then be obliged to prove his innocence when ever the registry' of the provost marshal is adduced against him. No decision of a board of election office; s will protect him against the necessity of renewing his defense at every subsequent election, and each time with increased difficulty arising from the possible death or ab sence of witnesses. In many cases this niav prove a gross wrong. It cannot lie doubted that ih some instances there were causes that prevented a return to service, or a report by persons register ed as deserters by provost marshals, that would have been held justifying reasons by a court martial, or at least would have prevented an approval of the court's sentence. It is well known, ; also, that some who were registered des erters were, at the time, actually in the ; military service as volunteers, and hon i orably discharging their duties to the i government. To hold that the act of ! Congress imposes upon such the necessi | ty of proving their innocence, without any conviction of guilt, would be an unreasonable construction of tiie act, and would be attributing to the Nation ! ;d Legislaturejan intention not waran ted by the language and connection of | the enactment. It follows that the judgment of the ! Court below, upon the ease stated, was right. The plaintiff not having heeii con victed of di section and failure to return to \ Hn service, or to report to a provost mar i shut, and not having hern sentenced to the j penalties and forfeiture of the law, was I entitled to vote. Election Officers, BEWARE Look Out For Prosecutions! The .Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have decided that no so-called deserter can be deprived of his right to vote by an election-board. A man must have been tried and convicted of desertion, and a copy of his conviction must be laid be fore the election-board before he can be <lc prired of his vote. Such is the decision of the Supreme Court and any Judge ; or Inspector of election, who will refuse any so-called "deserter" the right to vote, WILL BE PROSECUTED AND PUNISHED! A few days ago, an c leeti on-board was tried in BeUefonte, Centre county, for refusing a so-called "deserter" the right to vote. Judge Linn (a "Republican" Judge) presided at the trial. The "Republican" Judge and Inspector who rejected the com plainants vote were convicted, whilst the Democratic Inspector, who protested a gainst their action, was siequitted. The following account ol'this trial is from tlit- BeUefonte Watchman: (\>N V I( TIOX OK A \ Em-XT ION BoAIil) K<; 11K KlSl\<i TO It K.<' KIV E I'LL EVI>T K OKAN A LLHGEO "UKSEKTEK." The trial of .Josiah 11. Brown, 1). M. Hetts ami i). 11. Yeager, Election Board of Snow Shoe township, for illegally refus ing the vote of John Dayton, at the < )c-' tober election in 1866, resulted in the conviction of Brown and Betts and the acquittal of Yeager, the Court having instructed the jury that they could not convict the latter under the evidence. The facts of the case, as given in evi dence on the trial, are about as follows: John Davton, a man of foreign birth, presented himself at the window at the October election in 1860, offering his ballot in one hand and his naturaliza tion paper and a receipt for taxes in the other. He was challenged by one of the Board as a deserter, as he had been ale sent from the township during one of | the drafts. They refused to allow him | to vote unless he would take an oath j that he had not left the township to a -1 void thedraft. Mr. Dayton refused to do this and his vote was rejected, .Mr. Yeager protesting against the action of \ the Board and being over-ruled by hp companions. Mr. Orvis assisted the District Attorney in the prosecution ! and Mr. Mclllister conducted the dc -1 fence. The jury were out but a short | time when they returned with a vcr : diet of guilty as to Brown and Betts and , not guilty as to Yeager. We hope the effect of this trial may ho j to prevent all such illegal attempts to j deprive qualified voters of their rights in the future. HOW THE TICKETS AKE TO BE VOTED. JO'iiit this Carefully.

THE GREAT ISSUE AT THE COM ING ELECTION ISTHEQUKS TION OF NEGRO RIGHTS."— Thud Stevens (see Bedford Inquirer.) NEW PARIS, PA., 1 Oct. 1,18(5(5.) MESSRS. MEYERS & MEXGKI,:— It is rumored that I have forsaken the ranks of the old renowned Democratic par ty, which gave me political birth, sim ply because 1 discontinued the paper 1 done so for my own private reasons, at this time) and for not attending Mass Meetings. I deem it imprudent and incompatible with the teachings of the Bible to occupy the stump and the pulpit; neither do I feel disposed to carry politics into the sanctuary of the Ruler of the Universe, nor to pro mulgate the truths of the Gospel from the stump, but to "render to Ctesar the the things that are Ciesar's." 1 wish it understood that I will cease to sup port the principles of the Democratic party when God dethrones my reason to that degree that lean not distinguish right from wrong, and when my nerves are unstrung to disable me from carry ing a ballot to its legal deposit. Then and not till then will I cease to exert mv humble influence in behalf of true Democracy. Yours, Ac., W. J. STATLER. THE BEDFORD DEMOCRATIC BBASS RAX i). — This excellent band, under the lead of Prof. G. B. Ileffley and L. fibaugh, has done splendid service in the present campaign. The hoys de serve great credit for their rapid profi ciency in learning to play and for the sacrifices they have made for the party. Mr.S.McFerron, a "Republican," who belongs to the band, and as clever a fel low as you find any where, also deserves the thanks of the Democracy tor the service he has rendered in the band. 1" fact the boys are all clever fellows and we would like to travel with them a whole year.
