FOR THE CAMPAIGN!
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,

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

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.
WANTED —Three Commissioners to
Revise the Civil Code, who will do
something more than draw Nine

I,OAUK\K<KI:K AAD THE HEROIC
ACT.
Our readers are familiar with the
fact that last winter a bill was rushed
through the legislature, in a single
night, to abolish a judicial district, (the
29th, consisting of the great and pop
ulous county of Lycoming) that Gov.
Geary sat up in the Executive Cham
ber until midnight waiting for the
bill, and signed it early the next mor
ning.
Jacob H. Longenecker, Esq., was a
member of the Judiciary Committee
of the House of Representatives, to
which this infamous bill was referred.
When it was discovered by the people
of Lycoiniug county that their Judi
cial district was blotted out of existance
and that their President Judge was
legislated out of office, they petitioned
the legislature, without distinction of
party, to repeal this outrageous enact
ment and restore to them their dis
trict and their Judge. S. C. Wingard,
Esq., of Williamsport, a leading Radi
cal lawyer, who represented his dis
trict in the legislature a few year since,
headed a party of gentlemen who vis
ited Harrisburg for the purpose of ob
taining the repeal. Peter Herdic, a
notorious eorruptionist was the only
man from Lycoming county who asked
that the hastily and dishonestly en
acted bill should be permitted to re
main on the statute-book. He had
obtained its passage originally, by
fraud and corruption, and of course
resisted its repeal with all his might.
The Judiciary Committee refused to
report the bill to repeal. Herdic hail
bought one Democrat (M'Miller of
Montgomery) and though one Radi
cal, (Herr, of Dauphin) voted in favor
of reporting the bill, it was killed in
the Committee. J. 11. Longenecker
voted with W Miller, for refer Herdic's
interests, and contrary to the wish and
ivill of the people of •he 29 th Judicial
District. The bill was not repealed,
and for months Lycoming county was
without a court, without a Judge, and
deprived of the administration of jus
tice within her borders.
There remained but one remedy.—
The corrupt and malignant legislation
obtained by Herdic, must be taken be
fore the Supreme Court, or it would
stand as the law of the land. Accord
ingly it was brought before that tribu
nal. The case was argued by learned
and distinguished counsel on both
sides, and the Court unanimously de
cided the act to be unconstitutional
and void. Mr. Longenecker is a law
yer, as such he was made a member of
the Judiciary Committee of the House,
and in that capacity he assisted in
tearing the ermine from a spotless
Judge and in trampling out an im
portant Judicial District, at the in
stance of a corrupt and notorious mem
ber of the lobby. This vote of Mr.
Longenecker required the interposition
of the Supreme Court, to save the peo
ple of Lycoming county from the rapa
city of a legislative broker whose trade
is in the souls of men. The decision of
that Court condemns Mr. Longenecker
as a legislator, and the tax-payers of
the Commonwealth are compelled to
pay the fee for testing the enactment
which was permitted to disgrace the
statute-book through the short-coming
of this misrepresentative. Let us
have no more Longeneckers and we
shall have no more Herdic acts.
REBUKE THE PLEDGE-BREA K
EIIS! Shall Stutzman and Longen
ecker, who deceived their own party
friends in voting for the Fifteenth A
mendment and thus giving the voice
of the district in favor of forcing Ne
gro Suffrage on the unwilling people
of Pennsylvania, be sustained by the
constituents they have betrayed? No!
never! Let them be rebuked for their
faithlessness!
OVER SIX THOUSAND DOL
LARS OF STATE TAX has been de
manded from Bedford county, by the
Radical officials at Harrisburg, for the
years 1868-9, notwithstanding the re
peal of that Tax! The same is the
case in greater or less proportion with
all the counties of the State. What
docs this mean ? What right have
those officials to demand this Tax ? Is
it not highly necessary that such men
as JOSEPH B. NOBLE and THOM
AS STPE he sent to the legislature to
investigate this extraordinary busi
ness?
WANTED— A statement from the

RADICAL HPHBt'O.
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!

It is said that Calisaya Hark has a
peculiar effect upon the liver, and
guards the system against diseases by

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

Horrible Disaster in the Coal
Region.
KIKE IX A 4OA I. SHAFT.
JO* HFD <UNFINE<L IN T|l<> 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.

SPEC I A L NOTICES.
Schenck'B Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspejsia, if ta
ken according to directions Tliey are all three
to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver, and put it to work : then
the appetite becomes good , the food digests and
makes good blood: the patient begins to grow in
flesh ; the diseased matter ripens in the lungs,
and he patient outgrows the disease and guts
well. This is the only way to cure consumption
To these three medicines Or. J. H. Sehenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy cxpectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relioved ; the stools will show what the
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of. assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills,' to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Sc.benck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarb, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, of course the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ah
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying In such cases what must be done? It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, hut it is
the whole tydy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it wilidigesteasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and well. This ig the only way
to cure consumption.
Wheu there is no lung disease, and only Liver

Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per

Dr. Sehenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fete. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tho same remarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr. Sehenck, unless the patients wish their lungs
examined and for this purpose he is professional

Saturday, where ail let crs for advice must be ad*-
