HENRY W. WILLIAMS.
The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon a platform, in which occurs the following
language:
"Resolved , That warned by past misfortunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in harmony with the political opinions ot a
K >jority of the people."
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar
biter between the weak and the strong, between
minorities and majorities, is to be swayed by polit
ical bias against the rights ot that portion of the
peopl o who may happen to be in the minority.
Have minorities no rights which majorities are
bound to respect ? Nay, are not the fewest num
ber of people lawyers , OT jurists, and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju
dicial education? Who, therefore, could trust a
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi
tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions of the mob?
Again,
HENRY W. WILLIAMS
is the candidate of a party which holds that a man
may repudiate his contract to pay a debt in gold
and silver, by paying the same in paper money,
thus actually making Government bends worth
■o more than ordinary paper money. This is re
pudiation. Who, therefore, will vote for H. W.
Williams, and become a repudiationist ?
iIIi I i i
WHO IS SHERIDAN T
A soldier who commanded with dash
and bravery during the late war.
That is the whole answer to the above
question. Is he the only soldier who
merits this commendation? No, not
by any means. Hancock, Meade,
Thomas, Old, and fifty others deserve
to be mentioned with equal compli
ment. Why, then, the canonization of
this man Sheridan as a martyr, simply
because the President has transferred
him from the command of one Army
Department to that of another? This
saint-making business would be sim
ply ridiculous were it not that the ob
ject of it is to make capital for a politi
cal party which dares not trust to prin
ciple, but resorts to the excitement of
morbid passions and bitter personal
animosities as its constant trick where
by to mislead and humbug the public.
Hence, the reasons for which Sheri
dan has been transferred from the com
mand of the Fifth Military Recon
struction District, to that of the De
partment of the Missouri, are studious
ly kept in the back-ground, whilst it
is falsely-and ridiculously alleged, that
he was so transferred, because the Pres
ident desired to rebuke and humiliate
him. Now, Sheridan was displaced at
New Orleans, for the very excellent
reason that he was meanly and shame
fully tyrannical in the administration
of affairs in his department. For in
stance, he removed Gov. Wells (a Rad
ical) of Louisiana, and Gov. Throck
morton, (a Union man throughout the
war) without even giving them a trial
by court-martial. Hundreds of other
civil officers were removed by him up
on the most frivolous charges preferred
against them by ignorant negroes,
without notice to those officers and
without any hearing at which they
could defend themselves. Besides, he
was guilty of the most flagrant insub
ordination to his Commander-in-Chief.
For these reasons, this last saint in the
Radical calendar, this wonderful Phil.
Sheridan, was transferred from New
Orleans to the Department of the Mis
souri. If there is any stuff in those
facts that ought to make the Gesler of
the Fifth Military District, a martyr,
the Radical humbuggers are welcome to
it.
REFORM IS THE LEGISLATURE.
The Democrats of this Representative
District, have put their best foot fore
most in making nominations of candi
dates for the Legislature. Hon. W. P.
Schell, of this county, and Hon. Hiram
Fiudlay, of Somerset, are gentlemen
whose election will secure able and ac
tive advocates of the much needed re
form in the Legislature. We do not
urge theirclaims merely upon partizan
grounds. They are both deeply inter
ested in our local railroad projects, and
can and will do more in one week to
build up the material interests of the
district, than their opponents could in
a year. Weller and Richards have
been tried. What have they done to
benefit the people of the district? Let
us try Schell and Findlay and see what
they can do.
NI'RRF. VDF.R OF OES,B*S T!
The drowning men of the Radical
press, clutched with great eagerness at
the straw which floated by them in
the shape of Gen. Grant's letter to the
President in the Sheridan matter. But
they avoid the shark which opens its
ugly jaws right in their faces, in the
shapeof Grant's withdrawal of his protest
against the transfer of Sheridan and Sick
les. It seems that at an interview be
tween the President and Grant, the for
mer convinced the latter that he (Grant)
was mistaken in his views on the trans
fer question, and that Grant not only
wrote the President a private letter with
drawing his protest but, at once issued the
orders displacing the Sat raps of Louisiana
and South Carolina. Grant took sides
with the Radicals one day and surren
dered to the President the next. It
didn't take all summer for Andy to
whip Ulysses in on "that line."
HOW MCdl SIIAI.L IT BE?
The only question to he determined
by the Democrats of Bedford county,
at the coming election, is how much
shall our majority be? Last yearCly
mer had 244 over Geary. We can in
crease this to 500 for Sharswood, if there
is a full turn-out of the Democratic vo
ters. The attendance, at the polls, of
every Democrat, therefore, should he
made thefirst and last care of the friends
of the Right. The leading men in the
several election districts should at once
meet together and take counsel as to
the best means of securing a full turn
out. Don't depend on public meet
ings and speeches. You can do the
work just as well without them. Let
every district, therefore, he organized,
at once, and let there be a generous rival
ry among them as to which will do best
for the Democratic ticket.
Of these we know, personally, and
the Gazette ought to know, that at least
four were not deserters. We further
know that one, at least, laid down bis
life in the service of his country, yet
the Gazette has the effrontery to insult
the gallant so'dier's friends and rela
tives by holding him upas a deserter.
—lnquirer.
That fellow "never opens his mouth
but lie puts his foot in it!" We did not
say, and do not say, now, that the per
sons named in the article to which the
Inquirer refers, are deserters. On the
other hand, we claimed and claim now
for those men, as well as for all others
disfranchised under the infamous Radi
cal proscription, that they are xoOleser
ters. What we did say we repeat, viz:
that those men's names are given in the
Adjutant fJeneraPs fist, made out by di
rect ion of the Disfranchising Act passed
by the Radical legislature, as those of de
serters; and that, under that law, they
are disfranchised, for the Adjutant
General's list is made prima facie evi
dence (by the Act referred to) of their
desertion. That list is on file in the
Prothonotary's office and can be seen
by those persons any time they can sat
isfy themselves, by inspecting it, as to
the truth of our statement. It is, then,
not the GAZETTE that "insults the gal
lant soldier's Iriends and relatives by
holding him up as a deserter." On
the other band, the GAZETTE defends
him against the foul aspersion of the
Radical politicians. It is the Adjutant
General's list, prepared by direction of
the Radical Legislature, that brands the
name of the living, and the memory of
the dead soldier, with the infamy of
DESERTION. How will you wipe
out that stain, imprinted by the cow
ard tricks of your own partizans, Mr.
Inquirer I Bet's hear from you on this
point.
No very pleasant position is occupied
by General Grant in the Cabinet. He
is there by an order of the President,
Ac.— lnquirer.
Wrong-shipped again! The President
cannot and did not order Gen. Grant,
or any body else, to take a position in
his Cabinet. He (Grant) was appointed
by the President to kick out Stanton,
and he accepted the appointment. Stan
ton said in his note to Grant, that since
he (Gen. Grant) had " accepted the ap
pointment," he (Stanton) had no alter
native but to submit. If Grant occu
pies "au unpleasant position in the
Cabinet" it is his own fault. Even
General Grant cannot balance two buck
ets, brim full of water, one on each
shoulder, without finding his position
slightly unpleasant.
AFRAID TO AXSWER.
The Bedford Inquirer is a coward. 11
dares not answer our question as to
whether It and its party are in favor
of the establishment of negro suffrage
in Pennsylvania. The poor dead-alive
'possums of that sheet, arc holed , and
we are hound to smoke them out.
WE published Judge Sharswood's
great decision in the legal tender case,
last week, and shall look, with inter
est, for its appearance in the Inquirer.
As that paper insists that Sharswood's
decision was a "stab" at the Govern
ment, it seems to us that all that would
be necessary for it to do to prove the
Judge an assassin , would be to publish
the aforesaid decision. Now, don't be
afraid to call your witness, gentlemen !

GREAT ENTHUSIASM, GOOD

Speeches. Resolution*. Music. Ac.
The Democrats of Bedford county,
pursuant to previous notice, met in
Mass Meeting, at the Court House, on
Monday evening last, Sept. 2. Al
though no effort had been made to get
out a crowd, the meeting was large, the
Court House packed almost to suffoca
tion, and the meeting was in every
particular a decided success, The en
thusiasm and harmony manifested au
gur well for an overwhelming Demo
cratic success at the coming election.
The meeting was organized by the ap
pointment of JAMES C. DEVORE, Esq.,
of Londonderry, as President, assisted
by the following named Vice Presi
dents, John P. Reed, David Imler, Jos.
Wills, Jesse Wright, Jere. Thompson,
A. McLellan, Wm. Wertz, John Dick
en, Wm. Foster, Geo. Elder, W. Gor
such, G. R. Baily, Uriah Adams, John
C. Neary, Geo. Vonstine, Geo. W. Bow
ser, Tlios. 11. Grove, Michael Ritchey,
John Ivoons, John Aldstadt, Peter De
walt, Esq., Jacob Kensinger, Denton
Stephens, Hugh Wilson, Geo. Beegle,
W. M. Pearson, Daniel Barley, Josiah
Ritchey, and Col. J. C. Everhart, of
Blair county, and Capt. F. Weimer, of
Somerset, as Honorary Vice Presi
dents, with Wm. Spielman, Tobias
.Shaffer, A. 1). Coontz, 1). A. T. Black,
and Capt. S. B. Tate as Secretaries.
Loud calls were then made for
JUDGE KIMMELL, who responded
in an eloquent and powerful speech,
which frequently elicited the most up
roarious applause. The meeting was
subsequently addressed by (). E. Shan
non, Esq., Hon. W. P. Schell, and B.
P. Meyers. After the conclusion of
the speeches, the following Resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The people of Pennsyl
vania will soon be called upon to de
cide, by the exercise of the ballot, cer
tain important issues affecting not only
their own well-being, but the very ex
istenceofthe Republic itself, and Where
as it is eminently proper that those is
sues be fairly stated and correctly placed
before the public, Therefore,
Resolved , That there is and can be no
lawful government outside of the Con
stitution.
Resolved, That, in the language of
Thaddeus Stevens, Congress, in the en
actment of the Reconstruction meas
ures, acted outside of the authority of
the Constitution, and
Resolved, therefore, that Congress, in
the enactment of those measures, u
surped powers not inherent in the Gov
ernment.
Resolved, That the Reconstruction of
the excluded States, by disfranchising
the great body of the white people of
those States and making voters, offi
cers and jurors of the negroes, is not
only unconstitutional and oppressive,
but must inevitably bring disaster and
ruin to the social and material inter
ests of those States and of the country
at large.
Resolved, That the effect of the "Con
gressional plan" is to throw the gov
ernment of the exclud d States into
the hands of the late Negro slaves, as is
shown by a majority of the blacks over
the whites in the registration ot each
and every one of those States, and we
call the attention of the people to the
great central FACT in the Radical Re
construction policy, that TEN NEGRO
STATES are about to be erected by
that policy as integral parts of this Re
public.
Resolved, That the so-called "Repub
lican" party has abandoned the prin
ciples it professed to hold before and
during the late war, and is now keeping
without the Union the States and peo
ple which it declared to be its purpose
to bring back into the Union, by force
of arms, and that it has even abandoned
its platform of last year, the Constitu
tional Amendment, which, according
to the doctrine of its own leading poli
ticians, it had the power to engraft up
on the Constitution.
Resolved, That the notorious corrup
tion of the late State Legislature, ac
knowledged even by the Radical press
of the State, culls for a cleansing of the
Augean stables at Harrisburg, and
makes it the duty of the people to
change the political, as well as the per
sonal, character of their Representa
tives.
Resolved, That we commend the nom
ination of lion. George Sharswood, for
Justice of the Supreme Court, as one
eminently fit to be made, and that we
recognize in the opinion of that emi
nent jurist, in the famous legal tender
case ot Boric vs Trott, the simple truth
that Congress cannot coin paper into
money, and that unassailable dictate of
common honesty, that when a man
contracts to pay gold, or silver, he can
not repudiate his contract, by forcing
his creditor to take instead of gold, or
silver, wood, or stone, or paper.
Resolved, That we regard with utter
abhorrence and condemn as completely
subversive of the supremacy of law
and the independence of the judiciary,
that resolution of the Radical Platform
of this State, which demands*that "the
Supreme Court shall be placed in accord
with the political sentiments of the
majority," and we pledge Judge -bars
wood if elected, to decide according to
law all questions which may be brought
before him, whether such decision ac
cords or not with the political opinions
of the majority, or any body else.
Resolved, In the language of the
Bedford Inquirer, that the candidates
on the Democratic ticket, are "sound
practical men and will make good and
reliable officers. It will be a credit to
the Republican candidates to be defeat
ed by such men," and we will do all
we can to make that credit as compli
mentary as possible.
Resolved, That in Hon. W. P. Schell
and Hon. Iliram Findlay, the Democ
racy of this Legislative Distrct have
candidates of whom they may well feel
proud and who ought to be triumph
antly elected.
After several soul-stirring airs by the
Democratic Brass Band of Bedford,
which was present during the evening
and enlivened the occasion with most
excellent music, the meeting adjourned
with cheers for the Democratic Ticket
and the Democratic Band, given with
a will.
THE Radical meeting on Tuesday
night, was a tame and spiritless affair.
The enthusiasm consisted in periodi
cal cat-calls by some very small boys on
the back benches. The speeches were
made by W. M. Hall who (hall-ooed
"Copperhead!" "Copperhead!" till he
became hoarse, doubtless because be
feared that if he did not apply that epi
thet vigorously to others, it might be
imagined that he was still the same
"Copperhead" who wanted Pennsyl
vania to secede from the Union in 1863),
and by Hons. Ed. McPherson and W.
11. lvoontz. These gentlemen talked a
great deal about the past, in fact they
live and move and have their being in
the past, but they dared not meet the
issues of the present. On the whole
the meeting was a complete failure.
AS FSUAI,.
The Inquirer publishes just exactly
one half of the correspondence between
tiie President and Gen. Grant, in re
gard to the transfer of Satrap Sheridan.
It prints Grant's letter to the President,
hut omits the President's reply. On our
first page will be found the entire cor
respondence. If any intelligent "lie
publican" wishes to see both sides of
the case, lie can gratify his curiosity
by consulting the outside of our paper.
As usual, the Inquirer gives but one
side of the story, supposing its readers
to be too ignorant to think of looking
for the other side.
WILL the Bedford Inquirer, or any
other Radical paper, tell us why the
Republicans of Philadelphia, during
the midst of the late war, refused to
make a nomination against Judge
Sharswood when he was the candidate
of the Democratic party for Judge of the
District Court of Philadelphia? If
Sharswood was a XaUifier, Secessionist,
Traitor, &c., why did the Republicans
of his own city endorse him at the most
critical point in the late war?
Is money plentier now than when gold
and silver were in circulation ? It ought
to be, for cords of it have been printed.
But it is not. Although it takes $1.40
in greenbacks to buy what SI.OO in gold
would purchase, money is as scarce as
it ever xvaa.
REPRESENTATIVE CONEEUEXCE.
The Democratic Conference to nomi
nate candidates for the Legislature to
be voted for at the ensuing election,
was held at this place, on Monday last,
Sept. 2. The following named confer
ees were present.

A M IL it ArY sat raj), named " Pope,"
who was disgracefully whipped in al
most every engagement which lie led
against the rebels, recenily became of
fended because a band played "Dixie"
on a public occasion in a town of Geor
gia. The new York Times disposes of
"Pope's" indignation in this wise:
General Pope might remember that
President Lincoln himself consecrated
"Dixie" to the patriotic service of the
Union, when on a public occasion in
Washington, as the rebellion was going
down, he called for a band to play it in
his presence, remarking that we could
not afford to give such a good tune over
to a bad cause, and that henceforth
"Dixie" should bea national American
melody.
WHO WILL ANSWER.— Some one
asks "Why tax the poor soldier who
fought for his country, and exempt
from all taxation the speculator who
stayed at home and stole from his
country?"
Yes, why is this policy adopted by a
Radical Congress? Is it not because the
poor soldier cannot pay anything into
the party funds for carrying conventions
and securing the election of favorite
candidates? lie cannot contribute In
aid of such an election as has but re
cently occurred in Tennessee. The "rich
speculator who stayed at home and stole
from his country" can. 1 lis riches must
be exempt from taxation in order that
he may use the means thus saved to him
in promoting the success of the Radi
cal cause.— Detroit Free Press.

FACTS FOR THE PCBLIC,
Easily verified by examination, which we re
spectfully iwvite.
1. We have the largest establishment for the
manufacture and sale of Clothing in Philadelphia,
extending through from 518 Market street to 511
Minor street, and occupied exclusively by our
selves.
2. Our building, having been constructed by us
for our own exclusive occupancy, and for the busi

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Muss., respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura
ble, better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. 'J'hey ate simpler in struc
ture, and therefore stronger, and less likely to be
injured than the majority of foreign watches,
which are composed of from 125 to 300 pieces,
while in an old English watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY,

Gentlemen : The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several years
by our engincmen, to whom we furnish watches
as part of our equipment. There are. now some
three hundred ot them carried on our line, and we
consider them good and reliable time-keepers.
Indeed, I have great satisfaction in saying your
watches give us less trouble, and have worn "and
do wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in use on this road As
you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of
English manufacture, of acknowledged god repu
tation ; but as a class they never keep time ascor
rectly, nor have they done as good service as
yours.
In these statements I am sustained by my pred
ecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience extenoed ov
er a series of years.
Respectfully,
EDWARD 11. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.

. SCIIENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC.— This
medicine, invented by Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Phil
adelphia, is intended to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, the first process of digestion. By
cleansing the stomach with Schenck's Mandrake
Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appetite, aod fool
that could not be eaten before using it willbe eas
ily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck s Pul
monic Syrup unless the stomach and liyer is made
healthy and tho appetite restored, hence the Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly every case of con
sumption. A half dozen bottles of the SEAWEED
TOXIC, and three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary c ise of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenck makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and at his principal office in Phila
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place, or his pamphlet on consumption, for hisdays
of visitation.
