The Democratic meeting held in the
Court House oh Monday night last,
w as the first rally of the party since the
November election. The presence at
that meeting of the true and tried
working men of our democracy, shows
that "there is life in the old land yet."
The party is about to be thoroughly r- -
organized for another battle with the
enemy of the People. I>efeated, bvt
not cmtquere'l, !- the motto of the Ik
inocracy, a- with r r.ewed energy it
gird- on it- armor for another on^et.
The Meeting declared a preference
for that well known citizen of Alleghe
ny county, Den. Deo. \V. ( a--, as a
candidate for fJovt rhor, and In so do
ing, without doubt, reflected the wish
es of a majority of the party in this
county. Many of our people are per
sonally acquainted with Gen. Cass and
admire and '-'eem him a- much a- a
private citizen as they do as a public
man. Should he be nominated, he
wiii rec ive a most enthusiastic -up
port from the people of Pedford coun
ty. But whether nomiripted, or not,
the friends of Gen. Pass in Bedford,
will, uf? they have always done h< reto
fore, give a cordial support to the can
didate of the party.

The failure of the bill to legislate in
to office the defeated candidate for Re
ceiver of Taxes in the* city of Phila
delphia, does not produ the slightest
ripple upon the flow of popular opin
ion. The defeat of that iniquitous
measure is so entirely in curord with
the popular expectation and desire,
that none but those immediately inter
ested in the success of the bill and those
legislators who belong to the "ring."
have felt the slightest prick of dfssip
pointment. The senators who absen
ted themselves from the suasions of the
Senate, in order to defeat this bill, are
fully sustained by the people. Scarcely
a murmur is heard against the cour-e
which they pursued. Even radical
newspapers of the most mendacious
sort are abashed into silence. So much
for boldness and independence. We
have observed with care the tone of
the pros of the State, and are forced
to the conclusion that this exponent of
public opinion, without distinction as
to politics, is decidedly averse to the
extravagant, high-handed and sweep
ing measures proposed in the legisla
ture. The newspapers of the State,
with the exception of a few servile
sheets, have spoken oat in manly pro
tesl against the pa-ting and folding
swindle, and the Philadelphia Journals,
radical, democratic and independent,
with only two exceptional cases, op
pose the various Police Bills under
legislative consideration. There is al
-o some nervousness in tin* radical pa
pers on the subject of the proposed
Registry Law. This measure i de
signed by its authors to hamper the
democrats. That it will have this
effect, In a few districts, is quite pos
sible. This would lie the case in Phil
adelphia, Luzerne and Schuylkill,
which have a heavy naturalized demo
cratic vote. But the reverse would
prove true in Pittsburg and Allegheny,
which poll a very large naturalized
radical vote. In the*** places the Reg
istry Ijiiw would be a hindrance to the
radicals. In the rural districts, they
would suffer more by a strict registra
tion than the democrats. Bradford,
Tioga, Potter, Warren, Erie, Craw
ford and Law rente gave, last fall, about
17,000 radical majority. These coun
ties are situated on the borders of
New York and Ohio and adjoin
radical counties in those States.—
With a rigid registration they cannot
give over 10,000 radical majority. In
all the radical buckwheat counties, of
which Somerset, with its 1,400 anti
democratic majority, is an example,
the registration law will be hailed with
the maledictions of the mountaineers.
The foreign-horn citizen will, also, re
gard it as a barrier in his way, and if
he has, in the past, voted the radical
ticket, will, in the future, cast his bal
lot for the democracy which strives to
shield him from this Mow leveled at
his rights.
it is apparent, therefore, to many
far-sighted radicals, that the millstone
which this Registry Law is intended
to tie about the neck of the democracy,
will inevitablydrown and destroy radi
calism. Hence the radical politicians of
the State are far from being a unit in
favor of the adoption of this measure,
independent thinkers among tiiein
earnestly hope that the same intrepid
courage which saved the State from the
disgrace of forcing into office a defeated
candidate, will also save the radical
party from the necessity of carrying
through the coming campaign the bur
den of the Registration Law. Whet-In r
the views of these men will find expres
sion and support among radical mem
bers of the legislature, remains to be
seen. One thing Is certain, (he people
will sustain those who oppose tills
in >asure and condemn those who force
it upon them. Tml'f* mlcnce of the
caucus commended itself to the popular
judgment, in the rose of the Pelt/ bill,
s and will be the more admired if exer
cised in regard to the more sweeping
and dangerous lueasuri-w, the Police
and Registry Bills.
SI.A.VUEB or TMEI.IVIXO AS It ESEAI).
The Yankee is insolent, vain, hypo
critical and mean. He doubts the vir
tue of all men and women, and has
abundant r-ason to suspect his own.
He is never happy except in impu
dently prying into the business of his
neighbor. He makes tariffs to regu
late the trade of the people, and he in
vents sumptuary laws to control their
appetites. He is never satisfied uutii
he ha- looked iri every man's pot. A
low, lawivrou- and ob-eene radical
from Maine, nan nil Per ham, ha- re
ported a bill from the Committee on
Pensions which outdoes ail that the
New England Pharisees have yet at
tempted in the way of exercising -u
-pefviftion over their fellows. The
espionage of a despotism, with its tens
of thousand- of janisaries and algua
zils is,pleasant in comparison with the
prying meanr' -s of the Atninadab
.Sleeks who control the radical party in
Congr--. We approach the subject
with unfeigm d reluctance. '1 he ob
ject of the bill is to withdraw the pen
sion of the government from the wid
ow- and children of deceased soldiers,
if the widow- are under suspicion of
having abandoned the path of virtue,
or are charged with being involved in
any unlawful attachment. They must
make a clean bill of moral health lie
fore they can approach the trea-ury
for their monthly dole. This is the brief
outline of the bill. The accuser and
the judge of the widow are not desig
nated. it wit! not do to accept the cal
umnies of envious neighbors and scan
dal-mongers. The government, in or
der to fully carry out this proposi
tion, will be compelled to keep in pay
an army of spies to hold vigilant watch
over the widows of our dead heroes.
Over every hundred soldiers' widows,
the federal government must set a spy.
These minions should be caste red, like
tho-e who zealously guard the harems
of the East. Or, a Bureau will have
to be formed by a radical Congress to
examine into the habitf, deportment,
maimer of life, expenditures, daily
Walk and conversation of the widows
of those who saved the American U
nion. When the hoard shall he form

Covode, 0. I\ Morton and John <V--
a shduld be made members. The
President of the Board should be the
murderous Massachusetts deacon who
is nameless.
This atrocious calumny of the radi
cal- in Congress on deceased Union sol
diers in the per-.nns of those they have
left behind, should lie deeply avenged.
The heroes entered the s'-rvice in the
belief that in the event of death, a
grateful nation would take care of their
wives and little ones. They parted
tearfully from their dear cues, and
rushed forward to risk life in a noble
cause. They rest now beneath the
damp -od, thousands of Them without
a rough inscription to mark the spot of
their burial. The radical Committee
on Pensions in Congress now propose
that they shall be branded with infa
my as the sjiouses of indecent women,
unless their widows shall he able to
furnish proof ol chastity and conti
nence. The Covodes, ()'Neils, Lo

my by saving a few millions in com
pelling the widows of soldiers to furn
ish proof of leading a blameless life,
in order that they may draw their pen
sion. Many, many thousands of the
widows of our heroes, would shrink
in virtuous timidity from the brutal
investigation. The squanderers of
millions of money on greedy corpora
tions would thus acquire a cheap repu
tation by saving a few millions a year
from the pension list. Of all the dis
gusting manifestations of radical mean
ness, this proposition of the Pension
Committee in Congress is the worst.
For the honor of the country, for the
sake of the hallowed memories of the
past, let not the fame of our gallant
dead be tarnished by this infamous
proposition.
TllE Somerset Herald and Wh'uj, the
organ of the Somerset radicals, calls
upon its political friends in that county
to give particular attention to the elec

spectors of Election, warning its read

of great advantage to a political or

Assessors mid Election boards. We

wherever the opposition get the offi

There is generally too much careless

meeting in an able and amusing
. speech.
The Committee on Resolutions then
reported through their Chairman, A.
D. Koontz. Esq., the following, after
the unanimous adoption of which the
meeting adjourned:
Resolved, That, the Democracy of
Bedford county reiterate the princi
ples of civil government which have
! for snore than half a Century distin
: guished the party of the people from
that of the oligarchy which aimsat tlie
centralization of pow* r at the Federal
capito! and is constantly encroaching
upon the rights and privileges of the
l'eople and the States reserved to them
at the formation >: the Republic.
Resolved, That the effort now being
j made by the leaders of the radical
oligarchy in Congress, to wrest from
the People of the several States, the
right to control and regulate the suf
frage for themselves, by adopting ana
mendtnent to the Constitution, through
the agency of legislatures chosen upon
issues which ignored the suffrage ques
tion. shows distrust of t lie popular
j judgment, is an insult to "Itepubli
i cans*' as well as Democrats, and is
worthy only of the demagogues and
i conspirators who for eight years have
; blind-folded and cheated their follow
| er.s.
Resolved, That we most respectfully
| remind our political adversaries that
the platform upon which (fen. Grant
was elected to the Presidency, contains
i the assurance that in the '"loyal states'"
the people thereof should have exciu
! sive control ovbr the question of suf
i frage, and that if the legislatures al
j ready elected, lake away that control
| from the people of the "loyal states,"
i by ratifying the proposed amendment
to the Constitution, Known its Article
XV, they will show that the Grant
platform was a "delusion andasnare,"
a deliberate fraud upon those who.sup
ported Gen. Grant at the ballot-box.
Resolved, Thai what was foretold by
the Democrats, hut hooted at as false
by the "Republicans," to wit that the
political equality of whites and blacks
is to be established by trickery and de
ception, is about to come to pass, and
we, therefore, call upon honest and
sincere men in the "Republican" par
ty to vindicate their honesty and sin
cerity by repudiating the men who
have"deceived them.
Resolved, That the corruptions at
Washington by which hundreds of
thousands of acres of the public lands
are voted away, as subsidies to gigan
tic corporations, and by which millions
of the pubiic funds are pocketed iv
borers in the lobby, as in the case of
tiie Alaska purchase, and the extrava
gance and reckless waste of the peo
ple's money by the legislature at llar
risburg, in the payment of useless
liangers-on, "an army of pasters and
folders," proves that the party in pow
er has become rotten to the core and
should be discarded by the people.
Resolved , That Jacob Reed, Esq.,
be and he is hereby elected a delegate
to represent the people of Bedford
county in the next Democratic State
Convention.
Resolved, That whilst we declare our
opposition to every effort looking to
the forestalling of the action of the
State Convention, and whilst we desire
and intend that the delegate who rep
resents this county in that Convention,
shall be left perfectly free to exercise
his own judgment as to what nomina
tion may he most certainly calculated
to ensure the success of the Democratic
party, we express our preference for
Gen. Geo. VV. Cass, of Allegheny eo.,
as the candidate for Governor at the
next election.

Every one of these projects has proved

a shameless brazen fraud. Another of
these gift swindles, we hear, is soon to

large enough to scoop in millions,

they will learn from experience that
they might just as well throw their
dollars away as to invest them in such
enterprises. They can invariably set
down any scheme which proposes to
give them more than the worth of their
money as a fraud, and no mistake.—
