DEMOCRATIC JOI.EIHTCATION !
Celebration of the Defeat of the Consti

The Democrats of Bedford county,
turned out in goodly numbers, on Mon
day evening last, to celebrate, in tiie
Court House, the victory won 111 the
late elections, in the defeat of the Con
stitutional Amendment. Thirteen
States are now solidly arrayed against
that monstrosity and it cannot become
a p irt of the Constitution, unless it be
written there in blood, with the point
of the bayonet. Maryland drove the
nail inthecoltin-lid of the Amendment,
and Delaware clinched it. Let i.
moulder into the vile dust from which
it sprung.
The meeting was organized by the
appointment of DEDUCE ELDER,
E-}., of Harrison, as President; J. T.
G phart, John C. Eigard, Jacob Ling

Jinith, John Cavender, Francis Beard,

Able speeches were made by B. F.
Meyer-, Hon. F. Kimmelland Hon. J.
McDowell Slnu pe, and after repeated
calls, Col. J. H. Filler addressed the
meeting in a spetvh of great power and
f< rvor. O. E. Shannon, Esq., closed
the speech-making by one of his usual
ly happy efforts, after which W. C.
Schaeffer, EM;., read the following res
olutions which were unanimously a
doptcd :
Resolved, By the Democracy of Bed
ford county in Mass Meeting assem
bled, That the preservation of our form
of Government, is dearer to us than any
other political consideration, and that
in defeat, a* well a- in victory, we will
cling to the Constitution as the only
ark of safety for the American people.
R solved, That two millions of Dem
ocratic voters in the Northern States
are a power which must be respected
by the representatives of the people in
the law-making bodies of the country, a
power capable of re-isting usurpation
any tyranny, and organized to vindi
cate the right, come weal, or come wo.
Itexotred, That, in the future, as in
the past, we will stand by the Integri
ty of tlie Union, and the Equality of
the States, and that we protest against
the assumption of Congress that the
Union is broken and consists of but
twenty-six States and that ten States
(some of them of the glorious Thirteen
of the Revolution are no longer States,
but conquered provinces.
Rexofred, That the Democratic organ
ization must be kept intact and carried
forward to perfection. It is the only
break-water against which the billows
ol" fanaticism dash in vain; the
only hope of a country divided by the
machinations of New England dema
gogue-. and robbed and plundered by
the spoilsmen of a party which came
into power by Disunion and which
seeks to retain power i>v perpetuating
Disunion.
R xo'ted, That we reiterate our ap
proval of the course pursued by Presi
dent Johnson for the purpose of re-uni
ting, in fact, as it is now and always
was united in point of law, our distrac
ted and faction-ridden country. The
calumnies of his enemies and the
plots of the enemies of the Union,
cannot drive him from his position in
defence of the Right,and in the end the
people will rally to his support with a
unanimity that will confound and si
len -e those who now so malignantly
assail him.
R. <'>! red, That the result of the late
elections in Maryland, Delaware and
Kentucky, have decided the fate of the
propo-ed Uonstitutiunal Amendment,
m il ing thirteen States whose Legisla
tures will reject that Amendment.thus
as.-urintr its defeat beyond all perad ven
ture. We rejoice at "thiseonsnmmation
so devoutly to he wished," and con
gratulate the people upon this great
victory over the unscrupulous men
who are striving to alter and destroy
our Republican form of government.
Ih xo'ted, That it is the duty of Con
gress to so modify the neutrality laws,
as to relieve the Irish patriots who. in
the late Fenian invasion of Canada,
became prisoners to the Canadian au
thorities, front the persecution which
they are now suffering at the hands of
their captors, and we hereby request
t!i" member front this district to vote
for such modification, r
That we want a Free Rail
road Law pa-sod, and request the Sen
ators and Representatives from this
di-trici to vote for the same.
R idrrfi. That we will keep up the
organization of the Democratic party,
that we will fight on in the good cause,
that we will never, never, yield until
our banner shall Host in triumph over
theCaoitol at Washington and Re
state House at Harrisburg, and "on
thi- line we will light it out if it takes"
forty summers. -
The meeting then adjourned with
\ ieers for Maryland and the Union.
Titrxors EOQITTIR.
A most singular phenomenon is ex
; hibited in the case of the late Collector
of Internal Itevenue for this district.
Whilst he yet had a head upon his
: shoulders, he would not utter a word
against President Johnson, or his poli
ey, but now that his head is off, he is as
garrulous as a doting parrot, chattering
all the while about the rebuke of the
President by tin 1 late elections and sub
jects of a kindred nature. His news
paper {the Somerset Herald and 117 *///)
is full of such talk as can only be ut
tered by a man without a head. For
instance, in reply to our charge that
some of the candidates of his party sent
large sums of money into our county
for the purpose of influencing the elec
tion in their favor, hedoes not deny the
truth of our allegation, hut says that
"the funds" were sent here to defray
the necessary expenses of the canvass.
Now, if that isn't conclusive as to the
virtuous intent with which "the funds"
were furnished, what is the use in a
man without a head trying to talk log
ic! Of course, "the funds" were sent
here "to defray the necessary expenses
of the canvass," but it so happened that
it was a "necessary expense" to invest
some of those "funds" in purchaseable
voters. As to our intimation that the
late Collector "111 1 a singular admira
tion for President's Johnson's policy"
before he was removed from office, our
headless friend says that if we can
"produce a single paragraph from the
columns of the Herald and WhUj ex
pressive of President's Johnson's poli
cy," we can "draw on him for fifty
dollars," Ac. It is hut natural that
when a man loses his head, he should
become "short of memory." Hence it
is, we presume, that our late lamented
Collector has forgotten how vigorously
he spat upon the platform of the last
"Republican" State Convention, be
cause it failed to endorse the 'President,
and how truculently he afterwards bat
tled with his political brother, the
Chevalier McClure, all on account of
the sairl McClure's opposition to the
President. Asoyr friend labors under
the disadvantage of being without a
head, we will permit him to take hack
his offer; but he must withdraw it be
fore we get hold of a file of his paper,
or we shall surelv draw the "fifty." As
to our intimating that he himself is
"purehaseahle," we never dreamed of I
such a thing 1 Tt is true it was our !
opinion that as long as his mouth was !
tilled with Johnson's bread and butter, j
lie would not bark much at the friends ,
of the President, and for that reason !
we opposed, for a long time, hi- remo
val; but we didn't consider his silence i
the result of bribery; we regarded it as
merely a quiet sort of gratitude to the j
man that fed him. But we scorn to
parley further with a man without a
head!
Tit E <J It \ Vl> It ESI I.T.
The ConstUwtnmnl Amendment Killed!
Let us rejoice, for the proposed Con
stitutional Amendment is dead and
buried. Kentucky struck it a death
blow, Delaware rolled iiup in its wind
ing sheet and Maryland drove the nail ;
into it- coffin-lid. So much for the
firmness of the Democracy of the
North. Had we wavered and cringed
before the power of the party that
made that Amendment an issue, the
States of Kentucky, Maryland and
Delaware could not have stood upa
gainst theon.-et made upon them. But
the voice of two hundred and ninety
thousand Democrat- in Pennsylvania
went up in cheer to the conservatives
of those States, and they have crushed
the monster and destroyed him. Let
Massachusetts howl, let Ohio roar, let
lowa rage, thirteen iSf<t(rs refuse to budge
an inch toward the endorsement of the
Amendment, leaving hut twenty-three
to vote for it, four '•>•< thnu t/w'f/iree
fourthts rt rjitist I !>;/ the Constitution.
This is the grand result of the late e
lections. After all, the bantling of the
Mongrel liump Congress, is dead, and
as that was all that was in issue, the
Democrats have won the victory at
last. Bellow, oh! ye discomfited Mon
grels! You are beaten, terribly beat
en, and you must take up a new base
or surrender. What will you do ?
-IViSACJIrSKTT.N JX THE VAX!
Two negroes have been elected to the
Massachusetts Legislature, one of them
from Boston, the district in which Gov.
Andrew resides. When we used to
tell the people that if Negro .Suffrage
were allowed, Negroes would sit in
our legislatures and on our juries, we
were laughed at and the idea was sneer
ed at a- ridiculous. But here we have
the verificationof our prophecy, a ver
ification which cannot be denied, or
disputed. What does the Bedford In
tpdrer think about the choice of these
I negroes as legislators, by its party in
Massachusetts? i jet us hear from you,
if you please.
THE Clearfield Republican has been
enlarged and otherwise improved, it
is a good paper. Succ ss to you, broth
er Gopdhmder.
SAXFORD COXOVER, the convenient
witness of Judge Holt and Gen. Hun
ter, in the Military Commission trials
of Mrs. Stirratt, Payne, Dr. Mudd, and
others for the assassination of President
Lincoln, has been indicted for perjury
committed by him on that trial. Holt
himself had him arrested. Who
knows the height and the depth of the
infamy of which this perjured scoun
drel may not have been guilty ?
JAMES BROOKS, of New York, who
was ousted in such ashamefully dishon
est manner, from his seat in the last
Congress, by one Dodge, has been re
elected by CJHJO majority. Wonder
whether his seat will be contested this
time?
THE Mongrels made the proposed
Constitutional Amendment the issue
in the late elections. It was the only
issue. .Vs three fourths of the States
will not vote for its ratification, it is
dead, dead as Julius Cesar! What
next, oh ! ye defeated and discomfited?
IT is said that Judge Bond, of Mary
land is to be impeached. Better turn
him over to the Fseedmen's Bureau,
under whose care all the late bond-mew
are now luxuriating, and toward whom
he seems to have such strong affinities.

there was no use in a Dead Dark fight

LETTER FROM HAAS VS.
ATCHISON-, KANSAS, )
Nov. <>, LS66. j
EMTOR CrAzijrTi::—After perusing
the columns of your ever welcome pa
per, as is the weekly custom of you.
correspondent, the idea struck me that
a few lines from ouryoung State would
probably not he entirely devoid of in
terest to your numerous readers in old
Bedford county. This has been an ex
citing day in Kansas. For the first
time in five years, the good old Demo
cratic party has had an opportunity to
lift up its voice in Kansas—a small
voice, it is true, hut certainly one to
gladden the heart of many a man who
for that length of time, has had the
very inviting privilege of voting a
ticket either in direct opposition to his
principles, or the alternative of disfran
chisement; and surely the true men of
our party would prefer the latter. The
race in our city was very exciting. Gur
little handful of men used every exer
tion to bring out the strength of the
party, and although unsuccessful, the
Radical majority was so small as to give
an emphatic warning of what they
may expect in future.
Senator Pomeroy is here, and has
IKH-II busily at work, for some time, en
gineering the election, so as to secure a
continuance of his valuable (?) pres
ence in that remarkably conscientious,
Constitution-amending body that for
the past five years has been scourging
the American people in a style which
entirely throws in the shade, Cholera
and Yellow Fever in their most viru
lent forms.
A few days since I had the pleasure
of meeting a gentleman, formerly of
Bedford county, and although entirely
unknown, his call was duly apprecia
ted. A man from our native county,
here is looked upon as one almost of
the same family. That your faces are
not more frequently seen, is certainly
to be regretted. The facilities here of
fered for young men starting in life,
are much greater than those of the
east. Farmers can cultivate more
land, with half the labor, the yield is
much larger and prices equally asgootl;
while the nearly nominal prices at
which immense farms can he purcha
sed, afford inducements to slim purses
that can rarely be found. The popula
tion of Kansas, however, is rapidly in
creasing and in a few more years, we
hope and expect to he classed among
the first States of our Union. To give
you an idea of this State a- a stock
raising country, 1 need merely to add
that over eight thousand cattle, des
tined for the eastern markets, were
crossed at our ferry into Missouri, du
ring the month of September. The
immense herds of sheep, horses, mules
and cattle, which cover our plains, and
are subsisted on grass at no expense,
aside from the labor involved in herd
ing, proves conclusively that the busi
ness is a successful and profitable one to
those engaged. The most serious
drawback experienced here, is the scar
city of timber. All our fuel, or nearly
all, is brought from Missouri. It is
true, the ban ks of our strcamsare most
ly timbered, and the undergrowth al
ready starting on our prari's, as civil
ization advances, bids fair for the fu
ture, hut its want of maturity is ratti
er inconveniently felt at present. I
see in your last issue, you speak with
wonder, <>f a number of quails having
made their appearance in your town.
Were you here you would soon become
accustomed to feats of that sort. The
quails make semi-annual visits to
our town and take to our houses and
front yards, as naturally as geese take
to water. For the past two weeks the
hotel breakfasts of the writer have
been frequently made savory by the
unwary birds who came to ilu-ir death
the day previous, while quietly para
ding in the yard, or slttingon the house
top. Although not much of a sports
man, 1 have, during the past summer,
killed about one hundred and fifty pra
rie chickens, and often, while slaugh
tering the awkward monsters as they
sailed through the air, have I wished
for some of my young friends in Red
ford, who consider the result of a suc
cessful hunt to consist of three or four
ducks, or scarcely enough small birds
to make a breaktist for the hunter.
But in five minute it will be to-mor
row, and having some consideration
for the patience of "our readers, I shall
impose on them nclonger. Hoping to
see you in this section at some day not
far distant, I reman

Wendell Phillips. —An extraor
dinary article, oyer the signature of
Wendell Phillips, appeared in the An
ti-S/aeery Standard of Thursday last,
and excited much remark, not only a
mong professional politicians, but a
mong people who usually take but lit
tle interest in the partisan conflicts of
the day. The substance of the mani
festo is. that, at the late elections, the
people have given the Radicals a curie,
blanche to go ahead, and that Congress,
accordingly, is called upon to go to work
as soon as it re-assembles next month,
—"And throw all this chaff about
Reconstruction out of one window, and
swindling Constitutional Amendments
out of the other: then impeach and re
move the mobocrat of New < Irlcansand
Baltimore. If enough patriots cannot
be found to impeach the President, then
1 t the true men in Congress stop the
supplies and refuse to trust rebels with
the public funds. At any cost, take the
Government from the control of a reb
el."
DELL TIMES. —The World says there
is a universal complaint that business
is dull. Beforetheelections it was sup
posed that the canvas had something
to do with it. but now that the elections
are over trade is worse than ever. The
truth is that the country has a surfeit
of high-priced goods. I t costs so much
for food, rent and fuel, that people have
no money to spare for luxuries. Unless
< engross" contracts the currency and re
duce-luxation, production will come to
a stand still, and trade, except for the
Barest necessaries, will languish. The
first and best step towards continued
pro-pority would be a complete restora
tion of the Union ; but that we cannot
hope for now.

NEW COUNTERFEITS.—The following
new counterfeits have ju.-d made their
appearance in Philadelphia, and no
doubt will be sent through the interior
of the State everywhere, and we would
therefore caution our readers to beware
of them:

Howers.
Easton Bank, Boston, Pa. 100s,coun
terfeit —vig female seated—lndians
male head on each end.

females to the right, three females to
the left—on right end, head of Jackson
—on left end, head of Franklin.
First National Bank of Boston Bos
ton, Mass. 100s, imitation, well done.
Examine all notes of this denomina

female seated on a spread eagle—left
end, Franklin drawing lightning from
clouds with a kite. Poorly done.

5s —New counterfeit 5s of the issue wf
March 10, 1802, have just made their
appearance in this city, theSouth hav
! ing been pretty well flooded with them.
The words "United States," when com
pared with those of a genuine bill, have
j a scratchy appearance. In general ap
| pearance, paper and printing, they are
j well calculated to deceive.

i .March:], 1868. Thefemalein the centre
, with left hand resting on a shield and
I right hand on a sword, has the head

counts four toes; in the genuine it is not
visible. On the reverse side, in the
words "United States of America," the
shading runs all through the letters;in

CO X 81." MPTIOS CURABLE BY DR.
ScHKseic'g MEDICINES— To cure consumption, the
system must be prepared so that the lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy blood
made; thus building up the constitution. Schenck'g
Mandrake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilioug
or mucous accumulations; and, by using the Sea
Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is restored.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is nutritious as well
as medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good,
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take theto medicines ac>
cording to directions, consumption very frequently
in its last stage yields readily to their action
Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the liver and
stomach. It docs not follow that because the how
els arc not costive they are not required, for some
times in diarrhoea they are necessary. The stom
ach must be kept healthy, and an appetite mealed
to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act ou the respir
atory organs properly and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to pierform a permanent
i cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise about
the rooms as much as possible, eat all the richest
food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; hut be particular and masticate
well. 2d w

ASTHMA CURED.- WM. May, of 245 Spring st.,

flicted with asthma for upwards of ten years, re
ceiving no benefit from medical men. I was ad
vised by a friend to try one of Allcock's Porous
Plasters I said. I had tried several kinds of plas-
I ters without any benefit, and supposed they were
all alike. My friend gave tnc one of Alleock s,

A HUMBUG.—How often we hear
J this expression from persons reading advertise
ments ol patent medicines, and in nine cases out of
ten they thav he right. It is over 19 years since I
introduced my medicine, the VENETIAN LINIMENT,
to the public. I had no money to advertise it, so
I left it for sale with a few druggists and store
keepers through a sinai! section of the country,
many taking it with great reluctance; but I told
J them to let any ono have it, and if it did not do
j all I stated on my pamphlet, no one need pay for
j it. In some stores two or three bottles were taken
on trial by persons present. I was, by many,
I thought crazy, and that would he the last they
| would see of me. But I knew my medicine was no
humbug. In about two months I began to receive
orders for more Liniment, some calling it my
uable Liniment, who had refused to sign a receipt
when I left it at their store. Now my sales are
millions of bottles yearly, and all for cash I war
rant it superior to any other medicine for tho cure
of Croup, Diarrhoea. Dysentery, Colic, Vomiting,
Spasms, and Sea-sickness, as an internal remedy.
It is perfectly innocent to take internally (see oath
accompanying each bottle) and externally lor
