GAZETTE ON THE TARIFFT
Our article of week before Lst, on the Tar
it/, anl the Bedford Connty Democratic Plat
form, seems to havo riled our down-street i
Tam'iWegarti forthefacth, he charges the au-'
iborsltip of the article on somebody else than j
ourself, and then deliberately tries to show that
Henry Clay was never in favor of protection to
American industry. Having done this, no
doult to his own satisfaction, he undertakes
tue still more difficult task of oouvinciog his
readers that the Free Trade resolution of the
Cincinnati Platform does not mean Free Trade.
Ihe resolution, as heretofore published, and
admitted to bo correctly published, is as fol-
Jows:
"Resolved , Thu? iherelj are questions con
uectcd with the foreign policy of the country,
which are inferior to no domestic question
whatever. The time has come for the poople of
the United States to doclare themselves iu fa
vor of freo seas, and progressive FREE TRADE
throughout the world, and by solemn manifes
tations to place their moral influence at the
side of their successful example.''
This is as ami protection, and free-trade a
resolution as could possibly be drawn, aud we
jßve seen it 60 treated by the press of the
c- antry, of both parties, and heard it again
•od again spoken of Ly intelligent persons,
u -i we have the first paper yet to see, (before
tbo lost issue of the Gazette,) and the first in
telligent man yet to hear, who considers the
above quoted resolution as onything else than
an open t.vowsl of free-trade sentiments. We
think 'Jr. Meyers ought to be permitted to
pass.
'• Pmgressiv t Free-Trade are the words of
♦his resolution of tho Cincinnati Platform, and
they mean just what they say; and it is a good
deal too barefaced a falsehood to say or pre
tend, that ♦'progressive free trade" docs not
mean progressive jret trade. Great progress
was made iu the direction of free-trade when
the tariff of 184(3 ;vas substituted for that of
1842 ; and the democratic Secretary of the
Treasury, at annoyt if not quite every session
of Congress sioco that time, has recommended
a further reduotion of duties, and consequent
ly a further progress towards that free-trade of
the deoiocratio party, proclaimed by the fore
going* resolution of the Cincinnati Platform.
Froo-frade and direct taxation, are the doc*
triues o( the parly; the latter uot so clearlv
expressed in any platform, but necessarily fol
lowing the other, and openly avowed by lead
ing men of the party in their speeobes in Con
gress. They bare been endeavoring to educate
the people into tho acceptance of these doc
trines, and to the silly attempt the whole thing
has broken down, business has been prostrated, i
and the country almost ruined; aDd now in- I
stead of having iho honesty to admit their er
rors, they persist in the wrong, and even deny j
that they were ever iu favor of free-trade at
ail If the [coplo oan be again humbugged
by such denials, they are more easily deoeived
than we ever supposed, and deserve to suffer a
while longer under these democratic times,
which sre now upon ns and wbioh aro tbo re
sult of the progressive free-trade doctrines and
yracticee of modern sham demomcv.
Arouse, Freemen, Arouse!
Hut a little over two weeks jet remain, uutil
the t'reetuen of Pennsylvania are called upot to
decide one of the uio.it important elections that
has occurred for many years. Arc yon ready,
freemen of Bedford County, for tLe contest?
If cot, gird on your armor, and prepare for
the battle. If joti are in favor of the Protec
tion of American ludustry - if you are in fa
vor of better times—if jou are opposed to the
present ten-cenls-n-day system of the Locofoco
administration—if you are in favor of the
people of a sovereign territory making their
own Constitutors and law —if you are opposed
to using the United States army to crush free
State sentimrnl in a teiritory—if you aro op.
posed to border-ruffian invasion from other
States—if jou arc opposed to theprcscut unpre
cedented expenses of the Buchanan adminis
tration, amounting to one hundted millions a
year —if you are opposed to a vast national
debt —if you are opposed to fraud and cor
ruption—if you arc in favor of pajing off our
heavy State debt—if you are opposed to run
ning Bedford County still further iu debt—if
you are in favor of paying off somo §B,OOO or
§IO,OOO of Locofoco County debt— if you are
in favor of paying off some three or four thou
sand dollars of Locofoco Poor House debt—
and if you art in favor of an economical ad
ministration of officers, National, State and
7
County—go and do all you can for Edward
McPherson for Congress, for the State ticket,
and for the whole County ticket.
The prospec's for the success of the oppo
sition in Pennsylvania this full never wcro bet
ter tliey arc cut up and divided iu neatly every
County in the S'ate. In neatly every Co"*
gressioual District, they have Hv<? candidates,
Leeompton and anti-Loeomptoo, aud they are
now in the same position as was the opposition
i for the last few years. The times are changed
i aud politics are changed ! The Locofoco party
is broken, shattered jtnd divided ! All over
the North, is this the case. Pennsylvania will
speak in thunder tones—and will re-echo the
glad tidings proclaimed by her ais'cr States of
Vermont and .Maine !
What say yon, freemen uf Bedford County ?
Will you help your brcthcrn in other parts of
the State to secure the glorious victory ■ \ou
have the numbers and the power to carry tho
County, UDJ wrest her from the hands of those
who ore robbing you nd plunging you into a
vast debt. To work, then, from this time un
til the election, and all will LC right, and wo
will be able after the second Tuesday in Octo
ber, to proclaim to yon a glorious victoiy over
the plundering Lrrd-sof Locofocoism.

against each other.
i It has been very evident for months past
; that a breach would soon occur between Gov.
• Packer and bis friends, and President Hueliau
an and his adherents. It has now taken place,
open ami palpable, and is proclaimed in a speech
i delivered on tho 15 inri., by the Hon. JobnC.
Knos, late ono of the Judges of the Supreme
Court, and at present Attorney General under
Gov. Packer. The Hon. John Hickman is
j running for Congress in the Chester and Dola
• ware District as tho anti-l<ecompton candidate
| against a regular pro-slavery Lecompton Demo
crat. Hickman is supported by Col. John W.
Forney, and by the anti-Lcompton men gener
ally, and it was in Hickman's district, and in
favor of his rc-clection,that Judge Knox made
, bis speech, and proclaimed the open hostility
between the National and Slide Administrations.
It is a good sound speech, and we ore almost
j persuaded to publish it, in condemnation of
Buehanau's Kansas policy. Amongst other
things Judgj Knox says r
"Another man, upon whom tho vilest abuse
| has been heaped by the minions of power, and
; who had as much or more to do with tho eleo
j lion of Mr. Buchanan than any living ®;an,
from the first indication that an effort was
about to be made to prevent and destroy the
popular will in Kansas, fearlessly, ably, and
persistently gavo his voice and his pen to the
denunciation of the contemplated outrage and
i its perpetrators. I refer gentlemen, to my
t Jfriend John W. Forney, (and lam proud to
j call him such) the gallant editor of the Press.
(Long continued applause.)
When Col. Forney has such backers as Judge
j Knox and Gov. Packer, and their friends, well
! might he say in his Tarrytowo speech that the
j iVew Yorkers] might look out for eboiH Forty
j thousand majority against Lenompton in Peun
; sylvania, on the second Tuesday of Ootober
i next. Here is a pretty specimen of harmoni
ous democracy. We have the highest authori
ty for saying "a house divided against itself
cannot staud." Our foes are hopeles-ly divided
and all our friends have to do, is to go to the
polls, and conquer at the ballot-box.
We call the attention of our readers, partic
ularly the Deiuocratio ones, to the article, in
another column, from the Somerset Herald and
Whig , Leaded "The Bedford Gazette." It ful
ly exposes the creature, knowu by Lis hung,
dog look, who does up part of the editorials of
that paper. The Abolition announcement be
made while aaaistant editor of tho Herald and
Whig for a short time, of the nomination of
old Mr. Buchanan, and the resolutions, en
dowed by him, from the Now York Herald, aro
certainly very unique ! Since "btef-ke.eli'' "
suddeu conversion, a year or two ago, after the
"secret corruption agent" of the Locofooo par
ty was in Somerset with plenty of the rhino, lie
baa changed hie abolition views grently. Money
is the "roof of alt evil" and its influence was
too much for his low atnndard ot morality, as
depicted in his phiz.
BEDFORD IBIOBIRBR.
ALL HAIL, VERMONT!
The Sfar thai Never Sets!
The following is the result of the recent
election in this nolle State:
MONTFEUF.B, Vermont, Sept. B.—We have j
returns this evening from 89 towns, which foot
up thus for Governor:--
Uiland Hall, Opposition, 13,256
Hiram Keycs, Locofoco, 6,3;>9
Scattering, 81
Opposition majority over all, 6,615
Last year over all, 5,956
Not gaiu in 89 towns, 860,
Returns from 14-1 towns give tho following
results for members of the House:
Oppo ition, 144; Locofoco 21; Abolitionist,
1; No choice, 5.
The Burlington (Yt.) Times says that tho
majority of Hiland liall for Governor will not
be less than sixteen thousand, and addt:
"The entire vote of the State is probably
about 42,500, whieb is between two and three
thousand more than that of last year, and ten
thousand less than it will bo in 1860, when
Vermont will be called on to testify in the case
of the People vs. Lecompton. Givo the Green
Mountain boys a fair chance at that particular
development of " Democracy," and they will
furnish a new illustration of what is meant by
a 'popular majority.' The Republican majori
ty in the Legislature will probably be nKre
than two hundred. The Senate shows 'a cloun
bill of health.' There is not the shadow of a
smell of Locouiptouisui on its garment.-; and
the 'ipfush p' in the IIOIISQ is merely suggest
ive of a new 'poteuoy' in homoeopathy. Po
litical doctor, will find the circuiustnice an in
; structive study."
MAINE, ALSO, IIAS SPOKEN!
LOCOFOCOISM ASSIMILATED!
The returns from Maine show a complete tri
umph. Governor Morrill is re-elected by a
majority of from eight to ten thousand votes;
his party has a large majority in the State Leg
islature, auJ six members have been elected to
Congress, being the entire delegation to which
! die Stalo is entitled. Their names ore as fol
lows:
Daniel E. Somes, Freeman H. Morse,
John J. Perry, Israel Wushburnc, Jr.,
Ezra B. French, Stephe (J. Foster.
Thi? victory also ensures the return, by the
: newly e! cled Legislature, of u United States
Senator, to supply the seat of the Hon. Win.

pire on the 4th of March, next.

By the following, which we copy from thp

"'THE BERKS COUNTY DEMOCRAT'is tho
title of n new German Democratic paper, pub
lished at Heading, the first number of which
wo have just received. It exhibits unusual
typographical excellence, and, in its matter sig
nal ability in journalism. "The Democrat"
takes stroug ground against the re-election of
J. Glancy Jones, and hoists the ticket lately
nominated, in mass convention, by the Popu
lar Sovereignty Democrats of Old Berks. A
portion of the paper is given up to English
reading, and the whole boars the m irks of per
manency and prosperity. The editors, Col.
Samuel M. Young and J. M. Sulfide, Esq.,
arc well known in the Democratic party for
their eloquence and orthodoxy in support ot
Democratic principles. Nothing is required
but industry and attention to render this fine
Germun journal one of the institutions of
Berks county. Success to it, and all enterpri
ses that stand upon tho right. They may have
a struggle at first, but they must triumph in
the end."
NEW FIRM.—Mr. A. Ferguson has taken
0. H. Shannon, Esq , in partnership with htm,
and they will hereafter trade under the name
and firm of A. Ferguson & Co. Tuey have

his splendid farm to Mr. John Smouse. He

BI.AIR COUNTY.—We are glad to perceive
by the last Blair County fVhig, that the can

witlidiawn in favor of the People's ticket.
This is ns it should be, and will render tbe
election of S. Steel Blair, Esq., (oue of the
most talcnred men in the State) to Congress,

THK CENTRAL BANK of Pennsylvania, at

THK BEDFORD GtZETTE, j
Thi 3 organ of the "Lecompton Nigger De
mocracy" publishes in its last issue, a para- j
graph copied from this paper, and by us cop
ied from the Philadelphia North American, sta- !
ting that Hon. Frauk Bl.iir and Senator Trum
bull addressed n meeting at Alton, lilin the
very pl-ico whore, twenty-one years ago, Love- :
jov was slain. The paragraph adds: " JYOW j
the people flock in thousands to hear his broth
er proclaim the doctrines jar mhich that blood
was shed."
It will be remembe red that L vejoy was kill
ed in a liot created by tho pro-slavery men who
denounced him as an abolitionist, and the JVor/A
American cites as an evidence of tho change
of public sentiment ic that community, the fact
that Blair & Trumbull who are opposed to the
extension oj Slavery, particularly into Kansas,
should have been welcomed and listened to by
thousands. From this paragraph, Mr. Benja
min Franklin Meyers, editor of the Bedford
(lazelte with that profundity of ratiocination
for which he is so remarkable, proves that the
North American is r.u abolition sheet, that tho
Herald <S* Whig is also an Aboiition organ, that
the said Herald <s' Whig is the organ, not only
of the Abolitionists of Somerset, hot of Bedford
County' ergo, the Republican must be identifi
ed with tho Abolition party." To such pro
found logic, wc um>t of course bow with all
due deference, not eveu daring to plead in ex
i tcuuution an editorial record ot ten years, or
tho fact that the article was merely copied by
us as an item of news. We cau but throw cur
i selves upon the mercy of the court. As a spe
: ciai plea in mitigation of damages however, we
i crave leave to set forth the following facts.—
| In June of 135(3 business called us from borne,
| and not liking to trust the old Herald to edit
j itself during our temporary absence, we called
jin the assistance of one Benjamin Franklin
Meyers, then at tint time a hanger o.i to the
skirts of the Know Nothing party in this guod
-1 ly town, stucc promote ! (in consideration of his
! services to Af anting Judas— like to betray
and sell oul. the American parly' of the Coun
ty) to the editorial chair of the Bedford Gu
zelto. Dating our absence at rcsaiu, the Ciu
einnati Convention met and brought forth its
nominees. Oo this momentous event, our tetn
• porary substitute,the Benjamin Franklin Met
iers aforesaid, produced an I published, in our
! columns, us editorial, tho following dvlccta'ule
j article .
Tin: LOCOFOCO NOMINATIONS-
The mountain has labored and brought forth
j — Ten Cent Jimmy and 101 JVigqera. That is
I to say the long talked of "Democratic National
I Convention has cuuto off" and Junes Buchanan
and John C. Breckinridge, have been nomina
ted for President and Vice President—so far
so good but let u- look at the modus operandi
l by which these gentlemcu reocived their notui
i nation*. A wholesale and unblushing truckling
to the South , marks the whole course of the
; procedure * * A platform embodying the
i iniquity of Douglas, evinces their lovo for the
peculiar institution, aud a timeserving spirit
j that pervades the entire deliberations of the
j for u ticket in the National political lottery, for
the fall of 1856 be it so—Douglas and Pierce
> have doubtless long been weary of bearing the
i Kansas burthen themselves. Let one who has
already bowed to the hideous image, and who
■ will be ably assisted in lagging the enormous
load, by his partners glossy skinned —lol—let
! biin take upon him the weight 'hat has sunk his
; colleagues so irredeemably in ihe mud of politi
| cal dishonor. Everything that has been doue
to which the South has objected, will of course,
be studiously avoided by these new champion
ponderers to the institution of Slavery. All
| the shouts that have gone up from the awaken
j ing North for Freedom iu new Territories, will
be disregarded At least so the signs we gtt'h
| or from the sittings of the Cincinnati Conven
| tion, force us to believe. More on this subject
i anon."
How the pure Buchanan Democracy of Bed
ford County may view this effusion frcm the
pen of the editor of the Gazelle , we cannot sur
mise, but we do know that it was denounced
by their brethren of this town as rank Aboli
tionism at the time it appeared, and in our
opinion approaches much nearer to it than any
thing that ever appeared iu the columns of this
paper.
And this ucfesdant pleads as a further plea
in this behalf, that at time and place and in
the paper aforesaid, to wit, the "Herald A
Whig, - ' Benjamin Franklin Meyers (now of the
Bedford Gazelle) being then temporary editor
of the "Herald & Whig," printed and publish
ed in the editorial columns of the newspaper
aforesaid, accompanied with remarks purporting
to be editoiial , the following choice and senten
tious platform, purporting to be ' A SUITABLE
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM," which said article
ho then and tharo copied from iko JY. Y. Her
ald, and which (being concluded by his owu
reasoning) he then uud there adoptod as bis
own.
"Resolved , That niggers, pistols, bowie
knives, and bludgeons, are the fundamental
principles of Democracy, as re-constructed
under the warlike administration of Franklin
Pierce, by our dear friends the Southern JS'ig
gfii" d^itkrs.
ved t> That the killing of a oouteinptible
Irish waiter, holding the position of a nigger,
for u neglect of duty or impudence to a Demo
cratic guest coming down late to breakfast, is
a proper warning to the whole Irish raec that
they can no longer expect to rido rough shod
over tho democracy of this Union.
"Resolved. As the Constitution, as interpre
ted by our Southern teachers the nigger dri
vers, has already established African slavery in
all the teriitorics of the United States, th it
Squatter Sovereignty is a humbug, that Gen.
Cass is a humbug, considerably behind the age,
and that all abolition err free sq'ialters, should
be expelled from Kansas if necessary, by fire
and sword."
In conclusion it is suggested, not by wy of
defence, but as of probable benefit to some of
our demooratic brelhern of Bedford, that if the
Benjamiu Franklin Meyers aforesaid has proved
that we are an abolitionist, .then by a parity ot
reasoning we can prove that white is black and
therofore, if any of them long to possess an
able bodied "Nigger" with those unerring
marks of tho race, a hang-dog look and beef
heels, be can be obtaiuod at a low figure by ap
plying ut the office cf the Bedford Gazette.
KANSAS LAND SALES—The public land
sales in Kansas have been postponed, by ordor
of the President, until after the Ist of July
next.
THK SCOTCH I'LI'K CONTRACT.
Tho Deiurcra'ic pie*e* are uliuoit every
whore wincing under ilie abiuiieful cxpoec thai
the Iron pipes for the great National Water
Work* at Washington City are to le made in a
Foregn country, by F. reign materials, and to
the groat prejudice of American interests, en
tei prise and lab< r.
But in Hollidaysburg, in Blair c< uoty, in
the very heurt of the great Irou region of ilie
country, surprising to relate ! we have a press
that boldly and uublushingly DEFKXUS THE
oL'THAOEOE'B FACT. The Democratic Smnd
nrd, admitting that the Government pet who
has the job, has made "a eouUact w th some
Scotch house to supply a part ot the pipes,"
with shameless face sots up the plea that
American manufacturers and American laborers
have uo right to complain, becauso "upon these
imported pipes he United States Government
will be as much of a g doer as the duty amounts
to."
Is not this too bau J And will the freemen
of America tamely submit to such Auti-
Amcrican couiact on the part of the Govern
ment, and such henrtlcss doctrines on the part
of the government presses t See ! American
Manufictuiers arc crushed down and ruined by
Forrign competition, and American laborers
arc deprived of employment, or forced to earn
a scanty subsistence at starving wages, and yet
THK AMERICAN GOVEHN.MENT ROLLS
OUT ITS HEAPS OF GOLD TO SUSTAIN
AND BUILD UP THIS FOREIGN COM
PETITION ! ! And sec, again, the arguui nt
in defence of this conduct! The U. S. Gov
ernment will be "as much of a gainer as the
duty amounts to." The Government—the of
fice holders, the Plundering Contractors, Ac.,
—"will ho the gainer,"—NO MATTER
ABOUT THE PEOPLE ; these will lose and
suffer of course; but no matter—the Govern
ment is the gainer '. ! !
So argues the Democratic Stamford, the
Organ of tho Administration Party in Blair
county, and such we suppose, therefore, is
sound "Democratic" doctrine.
Against such Government practice and such
"Democratic" doctrine, the Opposition in all
its branches is uncompromisingly hostile. We
hold that our Government should iu every
possible way promote the PEOPLE'S interest :
for that THE LIVING OF THE PEOPLE
IS OF MORE IMPORTANCE TO THEM
THAN REVENUE TO SUPPORT THE
GOVERNMENT. But the interests of the
people and of the government are identical,
and to promote one is to promote the other.—

Edward M'P'aerson, Esq., the Peoples' can
didate for Congress in tho Adams arid Frank
; lin district, arrived iu town this morning on h'.s
return from .Juniata comity, lie is enjoying
j excellent health, and from what we can Icntu
I from persons acquainted in the district, we are
h-d to believe tLat he will he triumphantly
elected over his opponent, Wilson Reiily, the
Lecompton candidate, who betrayed tho wishes

Messrs. McPherson aud Reilly addressed

to make the people of his district believe that
he will vote for the admission of Kansas, if
sho should present herself at the next Con
gress for aduiissiou with a uew Constitution.—
We hope the people of his district wll pause
and consider his promises heretofore undo to
thetn that lie would vote against Leoompton
last wiuter, all of wtuch he violated. Let
them remember the old adage. "If a niat>

SPIRIT IN OLD BKKKS.
On the 11th mst. an anti-Jones Democratic
coutily meeting was held in Reading, over
which Dr. 11. H. Muhlcnbc-rg presided. Mr.
M. on taking the chair, gave his reason for op
posing the re-election of J. Gluncy Jones to
Congrers. A full County ticket was formed,
headed by Maj. John Sehwnrfz of Reading,
for CoDgress. Mr. Schwartz was a soldier in
the War of 1812, never wa3 a candidate for
office, aDd is represented to be a strong man
before the people. One of the resolutions
charges that Jones' rcnomiu tion was affected
by fraud, another annonnees in favor of a re
vision of the Tariff of 1857; and another de
clares in favor of the immediate admission of
Kansas into the Union, under such a Con
stitution as a majority of the people weftr.
THE PROSPECT.
John W. Forney, in his recent speech at
Tarry town, N. Y., in alluding to the fall elec
tion in Pennsylvania, eaid that the Lecoinpton
candidates for the Supreme Bench and Canal
Commissioner, would bo boaten by 40,000
MAJORITY)
Their is not au intelligent politician of either j
party, who does not admit that John M. Read
aud William E. F rarer, the People's candi- i
datrs, will be chosen Supreme Judge and canal
Commissioner, by an OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY.
This should be an incentive to every member ,
of the Party to turn out and vote. Let every
one feel it a privilege to participate in what
will prove a GLORIOUS VICTORY.
KANSAS.— The Lawrence Republican givS
a list of returns from fourteen polls not in
cluded in the Commissioners statement, em
bracing an aggregate vote of 1,243 —171 for
and 1,072 against the English proposition.—
Thus amended the total vote would stand 1,-
969 for, to 12,372 against it—making the
Freo Stato majority 10,413. Tho supposition
of the Republican is that these returns either
did not reach the Commissioners, or wero re
jected on sccouut of informality ; they make
no mention of any ef the localities named.
—— -
The revenues of the government this year
will not reach 850,000,000. The appropria
tions exceed $100,000,000, and the actual ex
penditures will be over $90,000,000, at the
lowest calculation.
Our National debt will be increased at least
$40,000,000 during tbe present fiscal year.—
At the last session of Congress $40,000,000
of debt was created.
How long will the people .submit to these
things 1

HA YE just ope' ed their new store, in Anderson's
row ol buildings, nearly opposite the Gazeltj
office.
Their stock of boot) and shoes for men, women an I
children is certainly the best and cheapest that has
ever been brought to Bedford, for three reasons :
FIRST. On account of the pressure of the times,
they have Wen laid in at 30 cents OH the dollar
less than what wis paid list year far the simj
kind of goods.
SECOND, They were bought for cntS, anl tha
usual discounts nude.
THIRD, They were bought in much hrger quanti
ties than drv goods merchants buy theiu, and
consequently t cere bought much lower.
If this is doubted, the evidence is uu the atand at
the counter.
