RUM' I*' YOR K MIGHT! Read, Think ami Ael ! Our appeal is to the intelligent, the candid and the independent. We ask only that people shall understand the issues belore them, and that, un derstanding them, they reflect upon their du:y in the premises and then discharge what they be lieve to be that duty when they como to ca9t their ballots. In order that the questions to be voted upon at the coming election, may be fairly and fully presented to the public, the BEDFORD GAZETTE will be furnished for the campaign, at the following low rates; , One copy .$0.50 Three copies 1-20 Five copies 1-75 Tencopies - 300 Twenty copies 5.00 In all cases the cash must accompany the order. We rospectfully ask the active men of our party to get up clubs for the campaign at every post office in the county. In no other way can the good cause be more effectively supported than by the circulation of Democratic newspapsrs. It ought to be an easy matter to raise a club of twenty at any post office. Address METERS A MEXGEL, Bedford, Pa. GEARY'S PLATFORM. Resolved, That we wholly approve the princi ples and policy of the administration of General Grant, and wc heartily endorse every sentiment contained in his inaugural address, and especial ly do hereby ratify and approve the late amend ment to the Constitution of the United States proposed hy Congress, known as the Fifteenth Amendment. —Radical Platform adopted at Philadelphia, June 24, 1869. — See. Red ford In quirer of July 2. . THOSE PETITIONS. Last winter thousands and tens of thousands of the people Pennsylvania petitioned the Legislature against the ratification of the Fifteenth Amend ment. These petitions were signed by men of loth political parties. Among the prominent "Republicans" of this county who remonstrated over their own names against the Fifteenth A niendment, we note Abraham 11. Hull, Esq., and John IL Ako, Esq., of Union tp. There were others of the same party who likewise protested and whose names are on tile in the archives of the legislature. The wishes of these gentlemen, were entitled to respect, at least from the representatives of their own party. But they were treated with contempt and sneered and hooted at and the Fifteenth Amendment was Hung in their faces as the answer of Geary, Stutzman and Longenecker to their remonstrance against its passage. It is their turn now. These "Repub licans" whose petitions were despised and whose councils werecontemptuous ly rejected, now have an opportunity to vindicate their insulted honor. Geary, Stut/.man and Longeuecker ask them for their votes and influence for re-elec tion. Perhaps the petition of these be trayers of the people will be regarded as little as were those for the rejection of the Fifteeenth Amendment. VOTE AGAINST THE PLEDGE BREAKERS! Longenecker, Stutz man and Weller (whose place is now filled by Long) were dieted on the ex press understanding on the part of those who supported them, that Negro Suffrage was not to l>e established in Pennsylvania, without the consent of the people. These three men violated their pledges to the voters of the dis trict, and supported the Fifteenth A mendment, which establishes Negro Suffrage in Pennsylvania in spite of the people. *.">o REWARD will lie paid for a lock of hair from the head of the radical politician who did not deny during last year's campaign that it was the intention of his party to establish ne gro suffrage in Pennsylvania without theeousentof the people. BRASS HORNS, brass demagogues, sounding brass and tinkling cymbals, are instruments brought into use tocar ry brass-mounted radicalism through the present campaign.

In order to screen themselves from the indignation of the people, the Rad icals are now busily engaged in "cook ing up" statements to a reduction of the public debt. The Inquirer, of course, follows the lead of the tricksters who manage and control its party. A few plain figures will show how false are the representations of the radical preas on this subject. On July 1, 1808, the debt of the U nited States, less cash in the Treasury and railroad bonds wa552,462,674,160.67. On Sept. 1, 1869, it was (less cash in the Treasury and rail road bonds) 2,475,962,501.60. Increase $ 13,288,340.83. These figures are taken from the state ment of the Secretary of the Treasury. Here is shown an increase of the debt, in fourteen months of upwards of thirteen millions, or at the rate of nearly a mil lion per month. Now, let the Inquirer crack this nut. THE FIFTEENTH AMEND MENT could not have passed the State Legislature but for the recommenda tion of JOHN VV. GEARY. He is on the record as having sent a message to the Legislature in favor of forcing Negro Suffrage on the people of Penn sylvania, through the instrumentality of that Amendment. WE hear men growling and grum bling about the enormous taxes they have to pay and yet as soon as election conies round they walk straight to the polls and vote the radical ticket. It is wonderful how men can be so stupid, so blind to their own interest. Every man of common sense knows or ought to know that our present financial con dition is owing to the effects of radical policy, that this terrible burden of taxation which is paralyzing capital and crushing labor has been fixed up on us by radicalism. How then can any poor man who cares for his own or his family's interest vote the radical ticket? He knows, or ought to know that the leaders of the radical party, the bonded aristocracy, heartily des pise him and the class to which he belongs. These nabobs regard the poor loboring men of the land as tit only to be slaves. While they are striving to confer the right of suffrage upon the negro and the Chinaman, they would delight to strip from the poor white men every political, relig ious or social right which he enjoys. The poor man who wishes to make a slave of himself and his children and their children after them, should go on voting the radical ticket, for the poor laboring classes for freedom, pros perity and happiness, lies in the suc cess of the Democratic party. With its return to power in State and national, would come a reform of the political abuses which have grown to gigantic proportions under radical rule. Public expenditures would be curtailed, and a proportionate reduc tion of taxation take place. The peo ple of the different States would be left free to manage their affairs in their own way, without interference by the general government. In short, the country would be set free from the rule of fanaticism and bigotry, and plain common sense would once more bear sway. DOWN WITH THE PLEDGE BREAKERS! The Radical leaders last year solemnly promised in their Chicago Platform that the Sutfrage question should be left with the people in the loyal States. They have delib erately broken that pledge. Down with them! REGISTER! REGISTER! Ex amine the Registry List hung up at your Election House and see that your own name and the names of your neighbors are on it.

HOPKINS, Representing the State Com. for W.Pa. DEMO REST'S MONTHLY.— The last □ umber of this popular Magazine is always said to be the best. Certainly its enterprising publisher will sustain its brilliant reputation, and spare no efforts or expense to render it the best parlor Magazine in America. How can he afford the expensive premiums he gives in addition to the positive cost of such a periodical, for $3 00 per year, is one of the mysteries of publishing. The magnificent picture by Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer, of the "Pic-nic," now of fered as a premium, both to members of clubs and single subscribers, we know to have sold for ten dollars per copy, and considered cheap at that. This is surely going to the extreme of liberality. Published at 838 Broadway, N. Y. It is said that Calisaya Hark has a peculiar effect upon the liver, and guards the system against diseases by exposure and irregular diet. It is con ceded that the great success of the wonderful Plantation Bitters, which, previous to our unhappy difficulties, was found in most southern homes, was owing to the extract of Calisaya Bark which it contained as one of prin cipal ingredients. In confirmation of this we have heard one of our distin guished Physicians remark, that when ever he felt unwell from ordinary die tetic or atmospheric causes, he invari ably relieved himself by Plantation Bitters. We speak abvisedly when we say that we know it to be the best and most popular medicine in the world. MAGNOLIA WATER.—Superiortothe best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price.

KIKE IX A 4OA I. SHAFT. JO* HFD MINE. On Monday morning' of lust week, a fire originated In a coal shaft at Avon dale mines, belonging to the Delaware, Lackawana and Western Railroad Company, near Plymouth, in Luzerne county, which burned the "Breaker," engine house and all the surrounding buildings. A portion of thedebris fell into the shaft, closing it up and thus shutting up 108 men and boys in the mine below without ventilation or means of es cape. The fire is supposed to have caught from the ventilation furnace, at the nottom of the shaft, which is 237 feet deep. The obstructions were removed as soon as the heat would permit and, af ter taking the customory precaution, two men were sent down to recon noitre. They reached the gang way in safety, and found several dead mules, but not a human being could be found notwithstanding they made all the noise possible to attract attention. They finally found the gangway clos ed up, which had evidently been done by the miners to save themselves from the fire, but whether they were alive behind this breast-work or whether they were all suffocated, they could not find out. Subsequently two other men were lowered to the bottom of the shaft, hut in the meantime the gas had accumulated to such a degree as to suffocate them—when gotten out they were both dead. Arrangements were at once commenced to force air down the shaft by means of a steam engine, through canvass hose. The scene at the shaft during Mon day was truly heart-rending—women and children, whose husbands, broth ers and fathers were in the horrible pit were there nearly crazed with an guish with the terrible thouhgts that those whom they so dearly loved were beyond the reach of succor. in consequence of the "strike" this mine had not been worked for the past four months until Thursday hist. All day Tuesday every effort was made to reach the men but in vain—the gas being so dense in the mine as to prevent their working either in the shaft or slope.—This is the most ter rible calamity that has ever occurred in a coal mine in this country. SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 9.—At a meet ing of the relief committee, at Avon dale, George Coray, of Scranton, was appointed to proceed to New York to solicit subscriptions. AVONDALE, Sept. 9—2:20 P. M.— Thomas Carson, of Hampton mine, and George Morgan, of Nantlcoke, ex perienced and competent miners, with twenty men, have explored every part of the workings and are satisfied that all the bodies have been recovered. Outside parties say two are still miss ing. One hundred and eight is the number of the bodies taken out. No doubt all the bodies are iiow up, as thorough explorations of the mine reveal no more, and 108 represents the total loss of life. There are 57widows, and 109 orphans made by this disaster. Numbers of the men had children living in the old country, and the destitution is great, and requires immediate relief. The strike of 3J months had reduced all the families to the verge of starvation, and the men not being at work long e nough to reeieve any pay, there was never a case that appealed more strong ly to the charitable. The funerals 'have been going on all day. DEMORFST'S YOUNG AMERICA. — This bright little Magazine is as full of good things, and as great a favorite with the children as ever.
