SIGN IE OF DHTftESS
"The American party nat h.riug been rep
resented in this Convention, the delegates which
it sent there having eith"r been refused admit
tance, or, if admitted, having cheated those
that elected them—it is plain tbit the nominees
have no claim whitov>r to its countenance, or
support."— GnZ'tte.
We copy tho above from an article iu last
week's Gazette, in which a silly and unpr'nei
pkd attempt is made to show that John M.
Read au i Wm E. Frazer, the nominees of our
late Convention, have no claims to the support
of Americans. Of course not even an at
tempt of this kind could be made, without a
resort to** Wholesale lying, but this is now so
c.unmon with that organ of democracy as no
longer to occasion surprise.
Amongst other statements in said uiticle are
the following :
"Alleghany county had sent American Del
egates, but they were unceremoniously kicked
wu'. Bedford county it is said was represent
tu by Kit. Jordan*, who went to the Conven
tion with credentials from a Black IV publican
meeting— a /ruetiicr m which . l.nencans had
no pad nor pare I."
Now, whit arc the facts as we have them
fiotu most reliable sources* Alleghany county
seat tw> sets of delegates to that convention,
iu both of which was a majority of Americans.
O ie set was chosen at the regular time by the
regular American and Republioan County Con
vention, in which tho whole sixty-six districts
of that couaty were represented, and which
nominated the eandiduta for Congress, for the
Legislature, for Sheriff, and the other c ces of
the couuiy ticket. The -other delegates wero
chosen by a convention which was called
oltcrwirde, by what purported to bs calls from
the Auieriian County Committee and tho
Republican County (Committee, both naming
the sru; l*y) t *b ; cb delegates either Amer-
ican or Republican were in t present from odo
balf the districts iu the County, Both sets
couM not be admitted, and therefore the <• ccr.d
set was rejected, and the first admitted, unt be
cause of the Americanism or the Republicanism
of either, but because the first sot was regular
ly chosen in the usual way, aud represented the
whole Oouuty, whilst the second set did not.
How was Bedford County represented ? It
it known to nil our readers that several weeks
prior to last May Court our County Committee
(and the ouly County Committee in the County
opposed to Locofocoism,) issued a call for a
meeting to select delegates to this State Con
vention. The meeting was held, and partici
pated iu by both Americans and Republicans,
and amongst other things done, that meeting
appointed Fr-mcls JotdaD, Esq., a Representa
tive Delegate, and agreed that Somerset Coun
ty might oappoiut the other, and approved of
the appointment of Qon. Win. H. Koontz us
the Senatorial Delegate. Somerset afterward
appointed Edward Scull, E-q., as the other
Representative delegate, and the whole Three
attended the Convention. Ou: County Com
mittee is composed of funr Americans and one
Republican, and although we cannot state the
precise proportion of each party in the County
meetiug called by this Committee, we doubt not
that There were at least four Americans to every
one Republican. The whole three delegates
appointed—Koontz, Scull arid Jor ! ac—are
known Americans, who have acted with that
party for years but who, of course, aro all
tariff men, and strong anti-Lccomptcnites.—
Yet, iu the face cf all these known fact*, this
thing of the Gazette Las the hardihood to den\
them all, nnd to call on the Americans of Bed
ford County to support Locofocoi-rm, and all
because, forsooth, they were not represented in
the Convention which nominated Read and
Fruzer, and bad no "Dirt nor pared in it!"
We cannot but draw encouragement from
thi • condition of things. When a cause is so
Led, and so desperate, that no truth can be
found 10 sustain it, its friends from necessity
must resort to other means, and hence the tac
tics of our opponents. They see the best men
of their party all over the country deserting
them and coming over to us. They see their
National and Sta'e administrations arrayed
against each other. They fee! and know thai
their National administration is known to be a
miserable failure; that instead of covering tiie
oonntry with -"beutfits and blessings," they
hare covered it ail over wi h hard times, with
poverty, and with bankruptcy. For these
causes the more intelligent and honest of their
own party are desert'ng them, and they know
they are doomed to inevitable and inglorious
defeat, unless they crn get relief from some
quarter, Hence their call upon Americans.—
It is a tsigual of distress. It is but another
form for the old cry of "help me Oassius, or 1
sink
Wheiler or not any of our American friends
are willing to forgive aud forget the past, and
come to too rescue, remains to be seen. Only
a few months ago these same Americans were
all denounced as enemies of the Constitution,
as oath-bound con.-pirators against the rights
Or their fellow-citizens, and as tniduight assas
sins. What a sudden and complete change !
Now, they are a national, patriotic, and honest
set of fellows, providrd they will only vote
the Loeofoco ticket, and help to save it from
defeat.
This is a free country, and, of course, if
there are any heretofore acting with the Ameri
can partv, who choose to accept this invitation.
tLey can do it, in case they aie williug to aban
don all their principles. If there are any who
are in favor of the present hard times, and the
priooipdes and party which have brought them
upon u a , or who are in favor of free trade,
ami desire to build up foreign labor and put
down our own, or who arc in favor of import
ing amongst us foreign paupers and criminals,
and of fraudulent elections und ballot-bo* stuf
fing, or who are in favor of covering our free
territories with negroes, and slavery, in prefer
ence to white freemen, or who desire to assist
in upholding tho hands of tho present national
administration in its iniquitous attempt to force
slavery and a slave constitution upon Kansas,
in defiauoe of her known protests and recorded
majorities agaiust it, — if there be any such men
as these in the American party of Bedford
County, their oourse is clear, and we take it for
granted t'uey will abandon the platform and
candidates of the lato Convention, and adopt
that other platform, containing the principles
above ennuiuerated, and support the candidates
of sham dtmocrajy, who stand upon it.
Wc cannot but suspect that the urger.t call
for American support, unjier these circum
stances, will be even worse than "calling spir
its from the vasty deep." Our cotemporary
may call, and call, but tboy will not come.

ESOFOKD IWWIEIK.
OUR COIVKJTIOX, ASH THE RE
SPONSE-
It affords us groat pleasure to inform our
readers tlrat so tar as wo h.ve heard or been
able to learn, there is not a single press in the
whole State, opposed to sham dtuioerHoy, which
has not endorsed the action of the lato State
Convention, and hoisted the names of John M,
Read and William E. Fraxer, as standard-,
bearers in the coming campuign. Thus single
fact speaks volumes in favor of our gueecsa,
and the defeat of IcoofosoPm at the coming
election; and if further evidence on the sub
ject be needed, we have it in the bad temper,
and desperate writhings of not a few of the
lower class of so-called democratic editors.
Afraid to publish the Platform, for fear of
spoiling all their cri'icisms upon it. and unable
to state a single f .ct derogatory to the charac
ter of the Convention, or the fitness of its
nominees, they manifest their chagrin and vent
their spleen by calling names, accompanied by
the mua! quantity of deliberate lying. This,
as might be expected, is the magnanimous
course adopted by our eotemporary down
street. lie could not lut see and envy the
characters of the men who composed the Con
vention, and the harmony aud enthusiasm of
their action; aud more than this, the cordial
response from all who are honestly opposed to
free trade and slavery ex'ension, and the"vHri
ous other iniquities of a spurious democracy.
These were all unpalatable but fixed facts,
which couid aci'her be prevented nor explain
ed away: and in this dilemma the editor of the
Gazette, like a whipped schoolboy, without the
candor to admit the truth, and too jealous to
bo just, resorts to the eong-nirl and harußless
pastime of calling names, and making "snoots."
Children, and especially had ones, and some
times, too, very large toes, are sadly addicted
to ihere lad habits, notwithstanding the most.
cotnmend..blo efforts of their parents and
fiends to teach them better manner?; aud es
pecially will they iuuulge in such things,"When
their "mamma's don't know they are out."—
Hence it is that a Couveu'ion composed o£*uch
as Judge Banks, of Berks, Judge Jessup,
of Susquehanna, Win. B. Mann, Morton Me-
Miehael, Jos. 11. Flattigan and ex-Mayor Gil
pin, of Philadelphia, Jauas Veach, of Fay
ette, William McKennan, of Washingtoiff ex-
Governor Reeder, of Northampton, David Tag
girl, of Northumberland, Jo?. J. Lewis,_ of
Chester, and a host of ethers like them from
this and other districts, ismneertngly character
ized ns a "Mulatto Convention," and flippantly
branded a? a set of unprincipled "abolition
ists."' When such ifti as Douglass, Wise,
Forney, Walker, Bancroft, Stanton and others,
whose name is '.egioD,are at open war with .the
Buchanan administration, oo it% most iuipei
tant measures; and when the influence of these
men threaten to defeit Leci inpton demoe*acy
in almost every Congressional district iu the
North and great west, we may perhaps indulge
our Somerset friend in his juvenile paslinu
above mentioned, metely reminding him (as we
doubt not his mother Las often done before)
that it is high time for him to abandon this in
fantile relic of had maimers—to quit calling
names, making "snoots," and tilling lie?.—
That the size, character, and unanimous action
of our Convention should foreshadow defeat to
our friend, and thus occasion distress, is not
much to be wondered a?; but wo do hope, for
iL: credit of the fraternity, that he will fall
back for relief 'hat maxim of adult philos
ophy which informs" Us, that 'what cin'l be
cured, must be endure 1."
WHITE RYE. —We are indebted to our
friend, A. B. Bunn,E?q., of SchelLburg, for a
sample of white rye, the seed of which he ob
tained fccrera! years ago at the Philadelphia
County Fair. He gave it to Mr. D. Border to
cultivate, aDd it has produced well. It is pos
sible that the weevil, which has destroyed so
much of ihu wheat iu this county the present
harvest, will remain for several years, and a?
they do not desfriy the rye, it might be well
for our farmers to pay more attention to the
latter kind of grain. It can uow be had for
seed from Mr. Butjn. Call and see the sam
ple at our office.

THE RE'ttN OF PRCFLHiACY.
The Legislature of this. State, and the Con
rcss of the United States, baviug doubled their
pay, it would seem a corresponding system of
extravagance has been inaugurated in eveiy de
partment of government. Gov. Packer has
called the volunteers of the Sia'c to assemble
at Willuuisport— a most inaccessible part of
the State—to hold an encampment— for what
purpose, uo one Can tell. That the people
must foot the bill is evident from the following
from tho Deiawary County Republican :
MILITARY ENCAMPMENT.— It is estimated
that the proposed military encampment at Wil
!iam';oort, will cost tho State one hundred
thousand ahj'urs. As there are only fifteen
thousand dollerS at present in the militia fund,
it has been suggested thud it would he better
to postpone the encampment utlril financial af
fairs are in a better condition. It is Jiardiy
worth while to run the Commonwealth still
further iu debt to learn peaceable people the
art of war.
But every step taken, appears to illastrato
the same spirit of reckless extravagance.—
Take the following from the same paper All
honor to the soldiers who died in the service ot
the country ; but it may he well to inquire why
the memory of the heroes of tbu Revolution
arc no; as well worthy of marble monument? as
those who entered upon the war iu Mexico ?
A COSTLY MONUMENT.— The Legislature at
its last session appropriated six thousand dol
lars to erect a monument at Harrisburg, to the
memory of the Pennsylvauians who foil or died
iri the Mexican war. Commissioners were up.
pointed to decide upuu the plan, and 'perform
such other duties as wore necessary to cany
out the object cf the law. These Commis
sioners wete sppoiucd to deuide upon the plan,
and perform such other duties as were necessary
to carry out the object of the law. These
Commissioners mot at Harrisburg, lu3t week,
aud after consultation, rdopted a devign pre
pared by a genteluuu of Philadelphia, pro
vided it would not cost more than thirty thous
and dollars. We presume it was the object of
the originators cf this project, that a plain and
befitting monument should bo erected to the
heroes of the Mexican war, and the action of
the Legislature iu appropriating six thousona
dollars is evidence that such was ihe case.—
The cost has now got up to thirty thousaud
dollars. The six thousand dollars will soon
he expended in travelling and other expenses,
so well understood by some of the geullemen
composing tbo commission. The foundation of
the monument will probably be laid,and the Leg
islature will bo Lured year after ytar to appro
priate funds to complete the structure. There
are different ways of leeching the State Treas
ury aud this is not one of the least iugeuious.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
A distressing and fatal accident occurred a;
Green Hill, in this county, on Tuesday the
15th inst., for the particulars of which we are
>oo,k te j T0 j Ag y AUSTIN, Esq., and are as
ow ' Mr - Mann, wife of Judge Mann of
' this couufy, ber son, Jas. A. Mann and lady,
with no infant child aud a little grtimJ-tl.iiigbter
about five years of age, were returning tog oth
er from a visit to Mr. NewiuauV of Green Hi!;,
in uu open spring wagon. On approaching a
steep hill, a short distance west of N> wmau's,
the horse took iright and became uomai agable,
and after running rapidly fur a short distance,
the wagonfwas ntn upon an embankment, threw
the eliler Mrs. Mann and the little girl out
upon the hind wheel, carry jog them down and
under the wagon, which passed over them.—
The- wagon was uot upset and the remainder ot
tho party were unhurt. After stooping the
horse and returning to the scene if thu aeci
j dent, a-ami scene presented itself to (he a>n
! and daughter-in-law. One of the little girl's
legs proved to be broken above rhe ankle, and
Mrs. Maun was found with a broken leg
the spinal column either broken or dislocated,
from rhe effects of whi.h she died within 'he
space of an hour. She was conveyed to hei
residence, we believe, which was only a short
distance from the scene of the accident, bu:
she never spoke after sustaiuing the injury.
The deceased was about fifty-five yeari of age,
an old and respected citizen, and her uuiimeh'
eud Iras cast a gloom over a large circle o":
friends and acquaintances.
Dr. Scott was called, who set the child's
limb, aud she is new doing well Fulton Re

charge that certain Congressmen received a
consideration for their votes for L.emptou.—
As au evidence of the "means and appliance*"
that were used to jut Lecomptou through,
''Occasional," the Washington correspondent
I l,t Colonel FORNEY'S paper, gives a fe. items
which be gathered from a reliable Source, from
which it appears that "Senator JONES, of Teo
. uessee, (oiu line Whig) bad a contract to supj i\
seventeen hundred horses, at §139 each, which
will make tie neat sum of 260,300. It is
n.a.ed that the horses were iu he of a particu
