COUNTY DEBT §B,OOO AND UPWARDS.
VFho is lie sponsible ?
last Gazelle wriggles and squirms, like
a skinned eel, in attempting to answer our ex
posure of the County's indebtedness. Its at
tempts at falsehood and my si if cation are tru
ly - awful aoi-.- avary r>" n '''
'' oSy**?fi^tncMocreat^ he impression
thut the iate Treasurer was the cause of the
County borrowing the §5,000,00 last spring.
Ihe Gazette shows that the County owed the
State at the end of Taylor's term, §1490 87
This '.a hue, and in our term we paid this
amount off, §ll3O 00 to Win. Hartley, and
§450.C0 *o Wm. M. Hall's es'pr,making in all
S3O 0 8/, and the Gazette states what is a
fact, tLat (be Commissioners only paid over to
us §23<5 7*2, nearly §<oo 00 loss than wc
paid on County indebtedness ! But that paper
says th it Major Davis, tho present Treasurer,
"paid, for the same said David Over," the
amount of §BIO 25 to the State Treasurer. -
That paper had better not mentioned the lat
ter. The facts of this item are these: The Lo
cofoco Commissioners, and their Clerk, asses
sed the. faxes of the County too low, according ■
to the valuation of the Locofoco Board of Rev
enue Commissioners, by the amount of §BIO 25. |
It was not levied on the County—it was not !
charged to tho Collectors—it was not charged i
to the editor of this paper as Treasurer, and j
the State held the County for the amount, and !
the '■■mmissioners had to pay it! Thus by
the rross bungling and stupidity of the Loco- j
foco Cuiiimififtioners and Clerk, the County lost \
§810.25 in one little transaction ! While on j
- ooint, we will mention annthersujull item, j
't - holds tho County for nearly §3OO j
T ' e r for woiob the C> : imissioners improperly '
ex-aerated Collectors , and hough it is charged i
tc :hc late Treasurer, the County will have to j
pay it! Here are only two items in which the t
County loses about §IIOO.OO by the stupidity \
and carelessness of the Locofoco officer? !! ! So
much for that.
We also paid in our tern, to the Western
1 cuitentiary, on Check of the Commissioners,
§237.23, an unusual expenditure, for we be
lieve the County had uot been called on for ten
years for any money for that institution. We
also paid four or live hundred dollars interest i
on borrowed money in our term.
The booby states that the indebtedness of the i
Couuiy to the State was more tli.au doubled in
our term. If it was, whose fault is it? D 0 j
we oof show above that we paid in the neigh- |
borhood of $4000.00 of Locofoeo debt and I
interest, some of which was caused by the !
-bungling" and stupidity of t U Locofoeo :
Commissioners and Clerk.
That paper charges this altogether on the
lute Treasurer ! How ridiculous! Any man ,
of sense knows better! Could we payout
any r>->ney at all, without the authority of the ;
Commissioners ? Does not the Treasurer pay I
too money on their chocks, and does I not!
hold theswehrr-k? , s l,; s vouchers at settlement ?!

)*'' '•'£ do ;.ui io pay it
out on the authority of the Commissioners. If
it is improperly expinded, they are the cause;
and wc contend that money has been improper
ly expended, within the last few years whilst
we were Treasurer, before and since, and the
Treasurer cannot prevent it any more than the
man in tho moon. The Commissioners send
the check to the Treasurer, it is his duty to
pay it, and ho docs not know whether they are
allowing a just bill or not. If the County has
spent so much lately, we have to thank the Lo
cofoco officers, who allow the bills, and none
other.
When the opposition came into power, a j
few rears ago, the debt of the County was §4,-
660.20—they paid of about §1,600.00 and
since the Locofocos have again come :DIO pow
er, they have run the debt up lo between §B,-
000.00 and §9,000.00; and not a dollar is
now in the Treasury 1 Is it not time the peo- j
pie should tnako a change ?
The Gazette mentions some Collectors as be
ing back, and says they are all opposition.—
Among others ho names tho Collector of Cole
rain, for §465.50. Mr. James was appointed,
but Mr. Gump took the job off his hands, and
'Squire Gump is a Locofoco, and it is he that
owes the County. Wc could name the Loeo
focc Collectors for S. and M. Woodberry,
Southampton, Cumberland Valley, Londonder
ry, East Providence, &c., &e., for last and oth
er years, all Locofocos, and owing the County
equally as much as those that paper has named.
We again put the following questions to the
Locofoco party, ns they have not yet been an
l swered:
What is the amount of indebtedness of the
County of Bedford?
How mony thousands of dollars wcro bor
rowed last Spriug ?
--How many hundreds of dollars, yearly,
has Leeu paid, in the last two or three years,
for repairing the Court House and Jail ?
—Why they have, during this whole year,
and in these hard times, a man tinkering about
the public buildiugs?
—How many hundreds of dollars will these
buildings cost this year, up to this time ?
—How many will they cost till the end of
ihe yeai?
—Why they don't stop this unnecessary ex
pense, when 'here is not a dollar in the Treas
ury to pay the smallest amounts ?
—Whether it. is right, because ihis tinker a
few years ago turned Locofoco, that he should
be pensioned off the whole county, and be al
lowed his own prices ?
- Whether this work is not altogether un
necessary, and costs double as much us it
ought ?
—And whether Ijoeofoeoism is not the
I cause of the vast indebtedness of our County
j and State, and also the cause of tho present
j hard times ?

Wilson lieilty and Free-Trade.
Let the laboring men of Pennsylvania, and
particularly of the 17th Congressional Distriot,
remember, that tiio Locofooo National Conven
tion that nominated James Ruchunan, at Cin
cinnati, adopted the following resolution, us
ono of the planks in their platform, and that
WILSON UK ILLY endorses tins resolution :
"Resolved , That there are questions connect
ed with the foreigu policy of this country,
which are inferior to no domestic question what
ever. Thi time. has come for Ihe people of the
United States to declare themselves in favor of
free seas , AND PROGRESSIVE FREE TRADE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, and, by solemn
manifestations to place their moral influence at
the side of their successful example."
Let the laboring classes of the 17 th District,
remember that the fallowing Free Trade, and
Direct Tax resolutions were passed by the last
Locofoeo House of Representatives :
-Resolved, That the EXISTING TARIFF
IS DEFECTIVE as being founded on the
PROTECTIVE POLICY.
"Resolved, That the highest development of
the industrial resources of the country is to be
attained by the GREATEST FREEDOM OF
EXCHANGES, which can only be thoroughly
accomplished by the ENTIRE AROLITIOX
OF DUTIES ON IMPORTS, and a resort
EXCLUSIVELY TO DIRECT TAXA
TION."
Let the laboring tuen of the 17th District,
remember, that only one Jaocofocc from Penn
sylvania, (Asa Paol#r,) had the courage to vote
against the above free Trade, and Direct Tax
resolutions. The vote stood as follows :
YEAS— For Progressive Free Trade, 123, to
u '' • 39 Eastern Republicans,
and 11 Southern Americans.
'AYS— .Against the Progressive Free Trade,
ito wit. /I Americans and Republicans,
and just 1 Locofoeo-Judge Asa Packer, of
|a. Fourteen Looofoeos dodged— WlLSON
REILLY among tbern !
Let the farmer, the mechanic, cud the la
boring man, remember, that the Locofoeo Free
Irade policy the country has caused the
>esnf hard tim*s, a*H that we may never ex
p-'Ct rotjf-i '"lies until we return to the policy
of protection, the po iey of Washington, Ad-
ams, Jefferson. Madison, - and all the patriots
of the Lest days of the Republic—a Tariff j
similar to that of 1842.
Let the laboring classes of the 17th District,
remember, that WILSON REILLY is in favor
of Free Trade and Direct Taxation —that he j
dodged the vote on the above Free Trade Brit
ish resolutions , aud that if he had had the cour
age to have voted upon them, ho would bavo 1
voted along with tire other Free Traders of his j
party.
Let the laboring classes of the 17tb District,
; remember, that the only way to get back to tlie j
: protective principle , is to vote against Free j
! Trade candidates for Congress —against REIL- j
I LY, who stands upon a Free Trade ptatfoim
: —and in fitvor of McPIIE 11S0N, whoispledg-
I ed in favor of Protection.
Gov. Darker Repudiated.
The Democratic Convention of Franklin coun
ty met a few days since, and after completing
its regular business, the following resolution
was submitted :
Resolved, That we endorse Gov. Win. F*
Packer for the abio manner in which he bits
tilled the Executive chair.
Au exciting discussion immediately took
place, when the vote stood—ayes 19, noes 21.
What docs all this mean? How has the Gov
ernor offended? Are we to understand that
the zealots and ultras who voted in the nega
tive are attached to the Administration, and
that they adopted this course, for the purpose
of rebuking the Governor, in consequence of
I his Anti Leeomptou sentiments? If this be the
j real condition of affairs, inaduess rules the hour
i with Mr. Buchanan unl his satellites. They
! are not in a condition to lose a single man,
i much less a powerful organization iu a State
j v this. Dot the doctrine at the White
i t!juso seems to be—rule or ruin—aud with the
| present aspect ef affairs, the latter is inevita
-1 tie. President Pierce retired fioui the digni-
I tics and responsibilities of the Chief Magistra
j cy greatly shorn of his dimensions as a states
i man, and his successor seems determined te fol
i low in his footsteps.— Phil'a Inq.
The meeting in Franklin County that refus
! cd to pass a resolution approving 'lev. Packer,
j passed one sustaining Wilson Ueilly for Con
| grcss. Reilly is a Franklin County man, and
j stands on the platform iu opposition to Gov.
j Packer, who is an anti-Leeompton in in. '.Vhen
i Wilson Reilly opposes Gov. Packer, cat; rho
j friends of Gov. Packer, support Wilson Keil
! !j? Packer has hosts of democratic friend# in
! the District, and after being repudiated by Reil

i the question.
David Hay and Extra Pay.
Our readers well remember that there was a
i limmi r ' the Legislat u re at ils last fes
jDAVl l? 11 .\ Y who is now on the Locofoeo
; ticket in this District, was a member, and
I POCKETED THE EXTRA TWO HUN
DRED DOLLARS! When DAVID HAY
• or any of his friends ask you to vote for him,
| just stick this at tbem and tell them that should
j David be re-elected another law ought be passed
j increasing the pap §2OO more, and he, the said
: David, would pocket the money. If DAVID
| HAY had been opposed to the law, although
; Ire voted against it, he would have done like
| Judge N'ill of Chambcrsburg, who opposed the
j increase and refused to take it! The following
I 1? Air. Mill's Speech, ou the question. Read
it, and {hen ask yourself if David Hay did
rige.t in pocketing the extra pay :
REMARKS OF MR. NILL o>> TAKING
§2OO AS EXTRA PAY.
j It is somewhat singular that this House
| should manifest a disposition to vote to its
I members each the sum of §SOO besides the
1 regular salary. Lot us sec how the history of
Legislative pay has been. Formoily members
received $3 per day. This session will include
one hundred aud eight days The pay for this
would be three hundred ami twenty-four dol
lars. In 1855 the Auiericau or Kuovr-Noth
ing Legislature choseu in 1854, raise! the pay
j to the salary of five liuudred dollars per ses
i sion, and if an extra session was convened by
the Executive, three dollars a day was paid as i
the compensation for its duration ; with this !
the Democrats aud old line Whigs found fault, j
and so did many of the Americans. The Leg- I
islature of 1856, which was Democratic, met
and did not change the act of the previous ses
sion. In 1857, another Democratic Legislature ,
met, and received tho regular salary of five !
hundred dollars, and took besides two hundred j
more. Among the people this act was very '
much censured. How do we stand ou this '
question ? When elected every man knew
what the salary was, and if he did not intend i
to take that as tho reward of his services ho!
should not have come here. It is said that we
do not make much. This I graut. Rut did
we come here merely to make money ? Have
we no regard for the interests of the Common
wealth? Caunot wo devote a few days to her
service without expecting to become rich by it ? j
The aggregate of this Legislative plunder is!
§26,0U0 —no inconsiderable sum.
It we have a right, in discharging our duty
faithfully to our constituents, to take two hun
dred dollars apieco out of the treasury iu this
clandestine way, why may we not vote our
selves one thousand dollars or more, if there
was enough there to gratify our avaricious pro
pensities ? If by an amendment of the kind
added in committee of the whole, we had laid
our greedy hands on one thousand or twelve
hundred dollars each, those who sent us here
would have been appalled at the cuoruiity of
the deed, and would have spared no terms of
dunuueiation in applying suitabl epithets to
our plundering aer. Hence it is olmous that
the difference is only in degreo—the principle
is the same. Geutlomeu say their constituents
applaud and commend such acts. The gen
tleman from Schuylkill, (Mr. Hippie,} believes
his constituents would do it; yot he sectns
somewhat sore iu reference to my course ou
this question. He seems to feel uuplcasaut,
notwithstanding the vaunted laudation of his
confiding constituents. 1 inform him that I
have preformed my duty according to tuy cou
scientions convictions, and if his conscience
has led hint to take the tuoitey, he can pursue
his own couisc.
We are daily finding fault with the vultures
here who act as borers, and constitute the
third House. This body is believed to be more
numerous than the Senate. Soute of them are
intelligent—all are shrewd—and it is fair to
presume that they are not influenced by pure
motives. It' we take money out of the treas
ury by a law which we pass to shield ourselves
from tie imputation of receiving it as the steal
ings of office, arc we better than borers—ate
we not vultures, who have been choscu to
guard the treasury, and who, from having itch
ing paluis, are unfaithful sentinels ? We ate
sworn to support the Constitution, aud to per
form our duty with fidelity. When we dauie
here we hud no light to this mouey by law.—
We cannot take it out of the treasury without
an act being passed by ourselves to au'hovize
it. In this we only differ from other plunder
ers by having the power to legalize our dis
honesty.
More than this, we are legislating, by passing
acts, and thst very properly, te punish l iving
Fund and Bank officers for embezzlement —for
putting their hands to the money entrusted to
their charge, whilst we are doing the same.—
No Saving Fund or Hank officer who takes the
money committed to his care, aud appropriates
it to his own use, occupies, in morals, a dif
ferent situation {'torn what wo do by using the
State funds in the same nianuer. If this act
is passed, 1 can never receive one cent of such
ill gotten gains. LIKE THE WEDGE OF GOLD
THAT AcilAN TOOK, IN JIT ESTIMATION IT IS
INFAMOUS. No FUNDS OF THIS SOKT SHALL
EVER ENTER JIY POSSESSION. I will leave it
where it ought to he, for the bem fit of the
State ii: the Sinking Fund.
Speech of C'oJ. J W. Forney.
We cull the attention of all our readers,
, Democrats and all others, to the speech of Col.
' Forney. He has been for years ihe leading
Democrat in this State, but differs now with
tlie President, on Leeomplcn, and ho proves
conclusively that the position of the auti-I.e
compton Democrats is one.
By a card which wo copy below, it will be
! seea that Mr. Forney spoke with deliberation;
I not only meant ail he said, but intends in due
J time to prove it.
""["A CAUD.— When 1 spoke to the electors at
Tarry town, New York, I did so upon the <"c
--i liberate expectation that from the impenitent
! calumniator and convict of slit* New York ller
! aid to down the pensioner of the Washington
Union, I would be abundantly traduced and
misrepresented An Administration which I
j assisted, not inconsiderably, to elevate to the
| power which it has wisely abused; his not hes
itated to make an honest difference of opinion
a pretext for a prescription extending to my
business an 1 to my most intimate relations* and
' I am not surprised at the spirit which my re

J. W. FORNEY."
i As the Administration through the Wasb
' ington Union has accepted the challenge the
disclosures must proceed,and it looks as if they
would be rather rich.
The anti-Lecompton Democracy of Berk-
County, have nominated a candidate for Oou
| gress in opposition to J. Giancy Jones, and al
so a whole County ticket. This looks bad for
: the old citadel of Democracy.
In the Fifth District Col. John Wood, ami

IHE VALUE OF A NOSE.—A nose in itself,
: detached from a face, is apparently of very lit
tle value, and yet there are very few petsous
who would be willing to exchange their nose
for all the ready cash in the vaults of a specie
paying bank. A very clever story of a nose
1 is told by Klopstock, the celebrated German
[ author. A young fellow was desperately en tun
| ored of a young lady, and his affection was
reciprocated. She was worth twenty thousand
thalers in her own right, while he was worth
•'nary red.'' For this reason her guardian ;
objected to the match, lu his desperation ho I
consulted u crafty old Lawyer, who heard his I
story, and then told him he would put him
through for a prospective fee, and he was as
good as his word. He fir-t asked the young ;
lover if he would agrco to take twenty thous- I
and thalers FOR ins NOSE ? To this the young \
fellow gave a deuided nay. Old Foxy the At- j
toruey tben went to the Guardian, "aud told j
him that it was all a "hum" about his young !
friend being so poor, that to his certain knowl- j
edge he had ono jewel alone for which he RE- i
FUSED twenty thousand thalers ! This satisfi- !
ed the Guardian, and the wedding came off.— j
Of course, when he got a sight of the jewel he
swore some.
Speaking of noses, and their positive and
comparative value, read the affidavit of Mr. I).
MoCreary in to-day's paper. He has been so
uufortunate as to lose his nose, but fortunate
enougli to get hold of LINDSEY'S IMPROVED
BLOOD SEARCHER, which has not only saved
the balance of his face, but actually prevent
ed one of the most lingering, painful and
horrible deaths imaginable. Read the afiida.
vid. The inaD is known, and the marks on his
face attest the truth of his statement.
THE PESTILENCE AT NEW ORLEANS.—
From a letter received iu this city from the
ageut at New Orleans, of t the Southern Aid
Society, we extract the following : "The yellow
tover commenced its ravages here about the
middle of June, first among the sailors, but
has since boon gradually spieadiug through the
citv." Iu a postscript he says :—"The Angel
of Heath is iu our midst; the pestilence is in
creasing ; our hospitals are fast tilling up.—
Pray for us." He relates the following inci
dent : "I called to sec a German family in a
bnck yard ; found the mother and four eihldreu
f sick with the yrifo'w k fß l Pwft^sLii > ' I, S "pop beds i

COM IST OF 1858.
This rtiuai kahle comet (says the Albany !
Argus) is now visible to the naked eye, as pre- j
dieted by Dr. (Jotil.lt some weeks ago. It is j
now only oflo hundred and forty millions of j
1 miles distant and is very rapidly approaching j
the earth, and already .-hows through a common j
' opera-glass a well difined tail. We are told j
! that during tho first week in October the com- ]
; et will be of the most, suiting brighten-*, pos- i
sibly the largest of the Century, and at that
time will be seen near A returns, perhaps even
surpassing that brilliant star in splendor. It is
, tiow visible for about an hour after sunset and
an hour before suurise in a iinr with the two
stars called the Pointers, anil forming ucurly a
I right angle between these and Arcturus. It is

of Elijah Adauis, Esq., of Bedford, in the 351h

The subject of this notice was remarkable
for a goodness of heart, and a suavity of man
ners, that endeared her to a largo cireie of ac
quaintances. it has been said of her, with
much truth, that "she never spoke ill of a
neighbor." The world of fashion had no
charms for her; she choose rather to "shine"
around berowu fireside as wife and mother.
The crowning act of her life—l he theme of
so geueral remark, was the filial affection she
exhibited, and (he sacrifices she made, to ren
der tho declining years of an aged parent,
peaceful and happy.
Although not a member of any church, she
died in great peace, having experienced the
consoling influence of Divine Mercy a few days
before her death. 4 Ob, Death, where is thy

Sworn statement of David McCroary, of Napier
Township, Bedford county:
In April, 1850, as near as I can remember, a
small pimple made its appearance on my upper lip,
which soon became enlarged and sore. 1 used'
poltices of sorrel, and a wash of blue| vitriol, with
out effect. Finding the sore extending, I called on
Dr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who pronuunced it CAN
CER, and proscribed a wash of sugar of lead and
bread poultices. Finding these remedies of no
avail, 1 cailed upon Dr. Shaffer, of Davidsrille
Somerset counti, who also pronounced the disease
Cancer, and gave me internal and external remedies
—the latter consisting principally of caustic- but
all to no purpose, as the disease continued sprta !-■
ing toward the nose. 1 next used a preparation of
arsenic, in the form of salve. This for a time
checked the disease, but the inflamation soon in
creased. I next called upon l)r. Staller of S~t.
Clairsville, Bedford county, who aLo pronounced
the dir'enso Cancer, and applied a salve said to be a
never failing remedy, but it had no effect whatever
in checking the spread of the s>r -. In December
of the same year, the disease had eaten away a
greater part ot my upper lip, and had attacked the
nose, w hen I went to Liuei:in..:i, where 1 consulted
Prof. R.S. Newton, of the Electie Medic d Colic*.
He pronounced the disease "a cutaneous Cancer,
superinduced by au inordinate use < f ni renrv.—
He applied mild zinc om.iuent, and gave intern;!
tcmedies. My face healed up. but the ii.flimation

he pronounced me cured, and J leit for home. In
April the disease again returned and so violent was
the pain that I could not rest at night. Late in
May I returned to Cincinnati, and again placed
myself under the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom
I remained until September, during which time he
used every known remedy, and partly succeeded in
checking the disease, hut when I returned home
ti.ere were still three discharging ulcers upon inv
face. I continued using Newton's preparations,
and also medicine that 1 got from Dr. Ely, but the
Cancer continued growing until it hid eat off the
left side of my nose, the greater portion of my left
i cheek, and had aliacked my left eye. J had given tip
; all hope ot evet being cured ; since Dr. Ely said ho
could only give relief: but that a cure was impos
sible. In March, 1838, I bought a bottle of' Blood
Searcher,' but I must coufiss that I had no taith in
it. 1 was very weak when I commenced taking it;
but I found that I gained strength day by day, and
also that the ulcers commenced drying up. I con
