"Light, more light!" is the start
ling cry of the honest people groping
in thedarkness of Radicalism. "Light,
more light!" shouts the groaning tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more light!" is the
pleading cry that comes to us from
those who earnestly seek a remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tals of the nation. Look and ye .-hall
•ee! Read and ye shall know! The
BEI >FORD G A ZF.TT E, for the I 'resi
dential Campaign, will be a complete

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, G( >TO WORK
and put your Democratic newspaper into
the hands of every Republican who will
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish moregiaxl in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see to get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
Now is the time to sow the seed. Af-
ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lic mind in all its intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you !
DEMOCRATIC MEETING!
The Democrats of Bedford county,
and all who intend acting with them,
all who are in favor of A CHANGE,
and who are opposed to forcing Negro
Suffrage upon an unwilling people, at
the point of the bayonet, are requested
to assemble at the Court House, in
Bedford, on MONDAY EVENING,
APRIL 27th, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the state of the
country.
Several speeches will be made on the
occasion.
Come and hear! :hink! Reflect!
Make up your judgment carefully and
honestly, and then act accordingly.

Ch'n Dem. Co. Com.
\Y. C. ScHAEFFEK, Sec'y.
THE Republicans of lied ford county
are informed by the Bedford Inquirer
that "Thaddeus Stevens has written a
letter in which he heartily endorses
General Grant for the J'residency."
We have no doubt of it. Grant is a
mere "nose of wax," and Stevens
kno\v§ that he and his fellow Radicals
can mould him as they please. To
you want Thad. Stevens, or Charles
Sunnier, or Fred. Douglass, for Presi
dent ? I f so, vote for Useless Grant.
JIEXITY WILSON has written a let
ter saying that he has never seen Grant
take a drink. The Sultan of Turkey
and the Tycoon of Japan might add
their testimony to that of Senator
Wi? 011, in Ihe same behalf.
TIIE IMPEACHMENT HEIBCG.
The counsel for President Johnson,
: have delivered some crushing blows to
the conspiracy to depose the lawful
I Executive of the country. We say
conspiracy, for if there were no con
spiracy on the part of the Radical lead
ers, there would l>e nothing to crush.
! The charges against the President are
! merely a pretext upon which the cou
j spirators intend to remove Mr. Johnson,
j There is nothing in them that could
. not have been truthfully alleged a
; gainst a half dozen former Presidents,
among them John Adams, Andrew
j Jackson and James Buchanan. These
' removed Cabinet officers, just as Mr.
| Johnson attempted to remove Stanton,
j These made speeches to public audien
ces, just as did Mr. Johnson. In the
exercise of executive power, Andrew
| Jackson went far beyond the limit
| which bounds the action of the present
| Executive. The whole country rang
j with denunciations of "the one man
1 power" represented in the administra
tion of "Old Hickory." But, lie was
not impeached, simply because there
was some purity and little recklessness
in the character of his opponents.
Why, then, is Andrew Johnson threat
ened with removal ? Andrew Johnson,
who has not attempted to use a tithe
of the authority actually exerted by
Andrew Jackson ? Because, first, the
conspirators are corrupt and reckless,
earing nothing for the example they
set and aiming only to secure the pat
ronage of the government; secondly,
because the lethargy of the people is
counted on as insuring the safety and
success of tlie conspiracy. But, as we
said before, Butler, Bingham & Co., are
getting some hard knocks. The coun
sel fur President Johnson, are show
ing, by competent proofs, that the
President acted lawfully and consti
tutionally in his attempt to remove
Stanton, that he desired to get rid of
this odious office-holder by peaceful
means, and not by force, that he merely
directed General Thomas, as Adjutant
General of the Army, to talc charge of
the War Office, until he could send to
the Senate an appointment of a succes
sor to Stanton, that he did not conspire
with Gen. Thomas, or anybody else, to
seize the War Department, by force of
arms, that he has nof "violated the
Constitution," (!!!) or even the Ten
ure of Office Law, and that it was his
intention to compel Stanton to test his
right to remain in the War Office, in
the Courts, and thus have the whole
difficulty settled by a judicial decision.
These things the counsel for the Presi
dent, have established, by record evi
dence, and bv the testimony of Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Thomas, W. S. Cox,
Esq., R. T. Merrick, Esq., and other
witnesses, and they show, most conclu
sively, that there is nothing whatsoev
er in the charges against the President,
and that the scheme of Butler, Bing
ham J* Co., is nothing more and noth
ing less than a bold, though crafty,
conspiracy to depose the I'resident, un-1
der cover of impeachment for "high
crimes and misdemeanors!"
(JE\. NIIEKH V\.
The hero of the "march to the sea," ;
appeared, the other day, before the
"High Court of Impeachment," as a:
witness for President .lohnsoti. Bot
tled Butler made furious opposition to !
the admission of his testimony and for 1
a while suceeeded in excluding it. He
knew how crushing it would he to the;
"case" of the Managers, and ranted i
and roared when the Senate finally de
cided to admit it. which they did by
a -mall majority. Gen. Sherman testi
fied that the President offered him the
War Department, and that when he
(Sherman i suggested that Stanton
might refuse to leave tho office, the
President, so far from contemplating
the use of force, replied that he knew
Stanton to be a eoward and that he
would not resist. Gen. Sherman, also,
testified that the President declared to
him, that the affairs "of the War De
partment could not be administered in
the interests of the army and the coun
try, so long as Stanton continued at its
I head, and that his only desire in get
ting him iStanton) out of the place,
was to get some one into it in whom lie
could repose confidence, and whom lie
could take into the councils of his
! Cabinet. Such testimony, from such
a source, could not fail to convince ev
! en the Star-chamber court of Impeach
ment, that Johnson's motives in re
-1 moving Stanton, were based upon the
purest and loftiest patriotism. Butler,
! and his co' Managers, afterward exam
j ined Gen, Sherman in private, but they
discovered that a cross-examination of
the General, would only damage their
"case" still more seriously. So they
were fain to dismiss "Tecumseh" with
! out any cross-questions whatever. It
is said that Sherman told the Mana
gers, during their private interview
with him, that Impeachment was a
great blunder and would be the death
. of the Radical party, no matter how it
might result. After such testimony as
that of General Sherman, we dare the
conspirators to carry out their dastard
scheme to remove the President. Let
them do it, and the people will see the
great wrong, in all its shameful signifi
cance, and rise up as one man to re
buke and right it!
THE 1 LAO INSULTED.
Our readers, doubtless, remember
that, some months ago, it was announ
ced that SERGEANT BATES, of Wis
consin, in order to test the feelings of
the people of the South, would under
take to carry the Stars and Stripes, in a
tour on foot, from Vicksburg to Wash
ington. A Radical neighbor of his
agree 1 to pay a dollar per day to his
family for every day he was absent in
the performance of his trip. The gal
lant Sergeant proceeded to Vicksburg,
and with his flag unfurled, started on
his journey. He passed through cities
and towns, through swamp and forest,
through brake and wilderness, all
alone, unarmed, and dependent upon
the charity of the people for his daily
bread. Every where he was received
with the most joyful demonstrations.
He was crowned with garlands, his
flag was wreathed with flowers, and
his very pathway softened with floral
offerings. The generous heart of the
South leaped out to meet him and give
him welcome. Here was the Flag of
the Union, borne by one who had
fought against the Southern people;
here was the impersonation of the vic
tory of the North ; \\a< there a single
hand raised to lower that flag so proudly
floating ? was there a single word spok
en to insult the noble standard-bearer?
Not one! But wherever the Soldier of
the Union went with his flag, his line
of march was made the scene of
an ovation. Strong men wept for joy
as they beheld this pledge of Northern
confidence in Southern honor; the
matrons blessed God for this token of
renewed friendship between a dissev
ered people, and the very school-girls
left their studies to deck the flag with
Southern roses and fo strew the path
of him who bore it, with Southern lilies.
In this triumphal way, Sergeant Bates
at last reached Washington. It was
given out that on the day of his arrival
he would place the flag upon the dome
of the Capitol. Accordingly, escorted
by a large concourse of citizens, he pro
ceeded to the Capitol gate. But here
his journey ended ! Here he was met fry
the hired Hessians of the Hump Congress,
who forbade his entrance ! The Soldier
of the Union, bearing the Flag of ids
Country, was refused admission to the
Federal Capitol, and he was compelled
to fall back upon the Washington Mon
ument and unfurl his banner from that
neglected and unfinished pile! So, too,
some day, must the American people
fall back upon the principles of Wash
ington, and unfurl their flag from the
neglected and despised fabric of the
Constitution.
TMK I,EtIISLATSVK XllS.VM'i:.
The State Legislature adjourned on
Tuesday, 14th inst. A more cor
rupt and infamous body, (the Bump
Congress at Washington alone excep
ted) never assembled anywhere. It
surpassed in corruption and infamy,
even the Legislature of last year, and
everybody knows thai was bad enough.
Tin! Pittsburg ('onimcrciol, a Radical
paper, thus speaks of this legislative
nuisance:
"The Legislature of Pennsylvania itd
journed yesterday. It is probable that
the terms employed to express tiiegen
eral appreciation of the character and
acts of its immediate predecessors will
adequately express all that the depart
ing bodies deserve from the public.—
It was soipe time ago in the
session tiiat the public began to feel
in regard to the acts proposed and
passed—or pretended to be passed—and
the proceedings in general, very much
as a community sometimes comes to
feel In regard to the ravages of a pesti
lence, after the first terror has worn off.
When the pestilence has ceased, in the
general thankfulness, the public mind
becomes almost careless as to how ma
ny or who have died. So in regard to
the Legislature, how many and what
laws have beeu passed, is" measurably
lost sight of in view of the fact that the
members have actually dispersed.
Let us pause to say, that the Legisla
ture has given us a Regis: ry Law, a
kind of General Railroad Law, one or
two wholesome laws concerning taxa
tion and retrenchment, and perhaps
some other good ones; but when we
consider that between ten and twelve
hundred laws have been spawned upon
the State, that in regard to some of the
laws there is no difference of opinion
t lat they were bought through, while
the defeat of others was equally purchas
ed, all those that we can praisesink in
to insignificance. And we hasten, too,
to express the belief that notwithstand
ing the general conviction as to the
shamelessness and extent of the corrup
tion in the Legislature, some members
there are above suspicion. The pure
gold is never suspected, the counterfeit
only betrays its baseness.
And yet the people are expected to
return the same class of men as mem
bers of the next Legislature, Is it not a
j bout time to have a change t
THE Radicals voted down Negro
Suffrage in Ohio, Minnesota, and
Kansas, last fall, and the other (lay
defeated it in Michigan by 25,000; but
at the same time they force it upon
the people of the South, at the point
of the bayonet. Great God! what con
sistency !
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Palmetto State is "reconstruc
ted." The registry of voters in South
Carolina shows that there are 40,000
more Negroes registered than White
Men. Of course, the Xegroes being in
so large a majority, the State was car
ried for the Reconstruction "Constitu
tion" and the Radical ticket. Wherev
er the Negroes are largely in the as
cendancy, the Radicals are successful,
but no where else. Think of the State of
Marion, Moultrie and Horry, ruled by
Negroes! The Lieutenant Governor
elected on the Radical Ticket is as black
as jet. How do you like such doings,
Republicans of Bedford county?
THE Bedford Inquirer, through the
aid of the Franklin Repository, has at
last discovered who is the elector on the
Radical ticket for this Congressional
district. He is John Stewart of Cham
bersburg. The Repository says, "he is
one of the ablest campaigners in this
section of the State." No doubt of it
whatever. He stumped Franklin
county, last fall, in favor of negro suf
frage, (the principal plank in the Rad
ical platform) and succeeded in giving
the county to the Democrats 4<y near
ly 200 majority. We hope Mr. Stew
art will give us some of his stumping
up this way.
THK Radicals of South Carolina have
just elected a Negro to one of the prin
cipal State Offices. They would do
the same in Pennsylvania, if they
dared.
TIIIJ REGISTRY LAW.— We have re
ceived the following suggestive letter
from afriend in Napier tp., on tire sub
ject >f the infamous Registry Act, just
passed by the Legislature, and we have
only spaee, now, to saj* that his conclu
sions as to the effect of the law, are gener
ally correct. We wi 11 publish i t enti re,i n
our next issue, when our friend can
answer his questions from the text
itself.
NAPIER TJ\, April 14, 1868.
EDITOR GAZF.ITE. —By reading the
GAZETTE of last week, 1 observe an ed
itorial article headed, ".1 blow at Foreign
born Citizens and the Laboring < 'taws.
From that article I understand "that
the Assessor is required to register only
such as he knows to he voters; those
whom he does not know to be voters,
must call upon him in person, if they
desire to be registered - " Now, the
question is, where will you find one
man in any township, in this county,
that knows every voter in the town
ship? There are many men in this
township, I doubt not, who are un
known to the Assessor, and if such
should call upon the Assessor in person,
then 1 suppose they must have a wit
ness to accompany them in order that
he may know them, or else they cannot
be registered at all. But this is not
the worst feature that I see. I would
wish you to tell us how the election
boards are to do in this case. In many
townships the Assessor is seldom seen
more than two or three times at the
polls, on election day, and if he has this
registry list in his pocket, how are the
election officers to know who are, or
who are not, to vote, unless the Assess
or would give every voter a certificate
to produce to the election board, to
satisfy them that ho is regularly regis
tered? For, I presume, the election
board dare not receive any ticket with
out first examining the list of register
ed names, to see whether the voter's
name is there or not. And if his
name is not there, then, of course, he is
deprived of his vote, no matter how
long he may have been a voter in the
township; but he must be deprived of
his vote, because the Assessor does not
know him. This is worse than the
"Skedaddler Act" of two years ago.
There is a law, 1 believe, with regard
to Assessors attending election polls,
but I have never seen it fulfilled in
but one election district in my life.—
The la'w expressly says: "It shall be
the duty ofsaid Assessors, respectively,
to attend at the place of holding every
general, special, or township election,
daring the whole time said election is kept
open, for the purpose of giving infor
mation to the inspectors and judge,
When called on, in relation to die right
of any person assessed by them, to vote
at such elections, or such other matters
in relation to the assessment of voters,
as the said inspectors or judge, or either
of them, shall from time-to time re
quire," Ac. Now, if this law is still in
force, I presume it will have a tenden
cy, under the new act, to make the
assessors more punctual in performing
their duty, otherwise t lie elect ion boards
will be in a bad situation. Some light
for the people upon this subject, is
earnestly desired. READER.
PoKTKA IT OK Si K WALTER SCOTT.—
MesSlK. Appleton A Co., who have just
begun the issue, in an exceedingly
cheap, but very neat style, of the ever
famous Waverly Novels, have sent us
a handsome impression of a Portrait of
Sir Walter 8co:t, engraved on steel,
from the celebrated painting of Sir
Walter Lawrence. This Portrait the
Messrs. Appletou are presenting as a
premium to subscribers to the full set
of their new edition of Scott's Novels,
which have already been advertised
and announced in our columns. The
portrait and the Hooks can be examin
ed at our otliee, wheresubsriptions will
be received.
"The blushing beauties of a modest
maid," are doubly enhanced by a luxu
iant head of hair. One bottle of "Bar
rett's Vegetable Hair Restorative"
will achieve the most wonderful re
sults. It has become an indispensable
article of toilet, and is universally ad
mirer!. — Newport Mercury.
HIGH COURT OF IMPEACK.IIF.Vf'.
Mr. Conness'motion, that hereafter
the Court shall open at eleven o'clock,
was agreed to. Mr. Ferry then moved
that the Senate, by vote, order the
omission from the record of the trial
of the tabular statements which appear
in the Globe as part of Mr. Butler's
speech of yesterday, the same not hav
ing been read or put in evidence. Mr.
Butler attempted to explain, hut the
explanation amounted to hut little,
and the motion was adopted without
division. William W. Armstrong,
editor of the Cleveland Plnindealer,
was called by the defense, and testified
in regard to the President's speech at
Cleveland. Barton Abel, Collector of
Internal Revenue at St. Louis, George
Knapp, one of the proprietors of the St.
Louis Republican, and GeorgeS. Zider,
a short-hand reporter, were called in
succession, and examined concerning
the President's St. Louis speech. The
reporter testified to having compared
the reports as published in the.St. Louis
Republican and St. Louis Democrat,
and made memoranda of about sixty
differences. Mr. Curtis next offered in
evidence the commission of George
Washington, as'Goneral of the Army,
issued by President John Adams, to
show the form of commission issued at
that time. Frederick W. Seward was
sworn, and detailed the manner of ap
pointing consuls, and filling vacancies
in case of death or removal. Secretary
Welles was examined, and testified
that his attention having been called
to the movement of troops in General
Emory's district, he spoke to the I'res
dent about the matter, and in conse
quence the President said that lie
would send for Genera! Emory and
ask an explanation, ile was next asked
to give a conversation which he had
held with the President concerning
Stanton's removal. Mr. Butler object
ed. Pending the decision the Court
took a recess of fifteen minutes. After
the recess, the question was argued,
and finally admitted—yeas 20, nays 2- -> .
The witness then gave the conversa
tion at a Cabinet meeting on February
21, when the removal of Mr. Stanton
was announced by the President. He
was next examined in reference to the
proceedings ofa Cabinet meeting held
shortly after the passage of the tenure
•of-offiee act, in which meeting the veto
of tho bill was decided upon. After a
few questions, Mr. Butler, as usual, ob
jected, and the remainder of the session
was occupied in debate. Without
action, at the request of the managers,
the Court adjourned.
THE May number of the NORTHERN
MONTHLY is certainly not behind its
predecessors in the spirit and variety
of its contents. First on the roll stands
"The Greenback ra," by Gen. Francis
A. Walker, now managing editor of the
Springfield Republican. Itisavividaud
luminous picture of the mercantile and
social influence of our paper currency,
written in an exceedingly popular style
and full of admirable illustrations from
the stock-market, and the home circle.
Next comes "The Thief in the Night,"
which still holds its terrible interest,
and evinces that unfailing command of
the magnificence of our language,
which has given Mrs. Prescott her na
tional fame. "Easter Day at Rome,"
by Dr. Itobison, is peculiarly interesting
just now,atieast tothoseof thecomuuui
ion which recognizes this festal day."
Richard Sayles' "A Huguenot Family
is a painfully interesting war sketch.
"The Proper Use of Stimulants and
Narcotics," by Dr. Beard, is an article
which we predict will excite a very
warm discussion. It advocates the use
of wine, whiskey, tobacco, opium etc ,
and is very trenchant in its treatment
of the temperance theory. The NORTH
ERN prints the article without endors
ing it. "The Red Knight" i- a pi
quant and exquisiteehess story. "('on
coming Excentrie People," by Mr.
Man-on, is a gossippy paper, full of an
ecdote and pleasant moralizution*.—
Next we have a translation of Victor
Hugo's "Claude Gueux," one of the
earliest writings of that great author,
which has already passed out of print
in France, and now for the first time ap
pears in English dress. It is notable
as containing the germ of Jean Valjean,
thegreat character in "Los Miserable*."
"The National Debt" is an able discuss
ion of whether bonds arc payable in
gold or greenbacks. It is reported to
have been written by an eminent New
York financier. In the Editorial De
partment we find the usual
variety. Altogether, the NORTH* KN
commences its second year superbly.
