ipiß PIIWITiILEiL
Wo copy the following from the Philadelphia ;
North American of the 28tb. It puts the lie j
direct on the assertion of the last Pedford G- i
zutto, that John M. Read signed a letter con- ■
gr&tiUating George M Dallas for giving the j
casting vote against the Tariff of 1842. The I
Gazette cannot be believed in any assertion it
makes :
JOHN M. BEAD.
Ou the 14th of July last, Jobu M. Read of i
ike city of Philadelphia, wag ifcaDimously n jmi
nated by the People's Conveo'ion, assembled at
llarrisburg, for the office of Judgo of the Su
preme Court. The convention passed the fol
lowing resolution :
♦'Resolved, That the revenue necessary for a
judicious and economical administration of the
government, should bo raised by the imposition
of duties up.cn foreign imports, and in laying
them such discriminating protection should be
given as will securo the rights of free labor and
American industry;" which resolution was ap
proved by Mr. Read in his letter accepting the
nomina'ion.
Sonic weeks ago we received a letter from a
friend in the interior, 6tating that it was assert
ed that Mr. Read had signed a letter to Mr.
Dallas, congratulating hint for having voted for
the tariff of 1846. Since then the same asser
tion has been made in an editorial of the Lan
caster Intelligencer, of the 2lst inst., and in
other papers, and we have been informed that
secret circulars, conveying the same informa
tion, have been sent privately to the leading
iron masters in the State.
The files of the Penusylvaoiau have beon •
sourcbed, and the following appear to be the j
facts: On Tuesday, 28th July, 1846, Mr. 1
Dallas, as Yico President, gave his casting vote '
iu favor of the tariff of that year.
On Wednesday, the 29th, a letter was wiit- 1
ten by Athanasius Ford, signed by him and a 1
nntnber of democratic citizens, to Mr. Dallas, j
ap,proving bis vote of the preceding day ; to
which Mr. Dallas replied in a letter dated
(Saturday) August Ist; which correspondence
was published in the Pcnqsjivauiaq of Wed
nesday, August sth. Amongst the signatures
to the letter of the 29th of July, the name of
Jobu M. Read docs not appear, but there is
the name of John F. Head, a respectable demo- i
cratio citizen, who then resiJed in Chester
• stieet, iD North Mulberry Ward, but who now
resides at No. 210 Madison street, and who
approves the conduct of Mr. Dallas in giving'
his casting vote for the tariff of ! 46.
In addition to those facts, wc are authorized
by Mr. Jobu >J. Rend to say that he was not
in the ciiy of Philadelphia when the letter of
the 29tb of July, and tho answer of Mr. Dal
las of the Ist of August, wore writteD,'and that
he never saw the original of the letter of tho
29th of July, nor did he ever sign it, nor au
thorize anybody to sign it for hiui.
Mr. Oarcy furnishes us with the following :
I have examined tho Pennsylvauian of Wed
nesday, sth August, 1845, and attached to tho
letter o? 29th July, to Mr. Dallas, signed by
Atbaoasius Ford and others, I find the name of
John F. Read, but not the name of .John M.
Read.

BLAIR COUNTY.—The Rcpublioan candi

; THE DEBT OF BEDFORD fOUXTf!
A FEW ITEMS SHOWING THE MAN
NER IN WHICH IT WAS CREA
TED.
The people of Bedford County, of all par
ties, are aware of the fact that tho debt of
Bedford County is now somewhere about
TWELVE THOUSAND DOLL ARS-Coun
ty and Poor House. Wc propose to state a
few items, many more of which vould be named,
showing the manuer in which this large debt
: was creuted, which caused tho borrowing of
Jive thousand dollars last spring.
Tlvrough tho bungling and incompetency of
the preeeut Locofeco board of Commissioners
and their Clerk, they nsscssed the taxes of the
County too low, according to the valuation of
a Locofoco board of Revenue Commissioners,
to the amount of $810,25; the samo Locofoco
board of Commissioners also improperly exouc
| rated collectors to the amount of $277,60, and
both items is piid out of the County Treasury.
It stands thus.
County loses iu item first, $810.25
County loses in item second, 277.60
Whole loss iu two items, $1087.85!
It will thuj be seen that the present Locofo
i co board sunk lo the County in only these fwo
matters the large sum of 1087.85 / / /
It is also well known that the present Loco
foco bonrd of Commissioners, have made an ex
tra officer out of the Public Buildings. His
duty is to bo tinkering —wc will not call it re
pairing those buildings, and drawing largo sums
for, as it seems to everybody, imaginary work! .
We have taken the trout le to examine this
item of expenditure for tho last eight years,
and tho increase oj the lust two years will as
tonish and astound every tax-p iyer, belong to
what party lie may. The expenses for the Lis:
eight years taken fiom the official reports,
staud thus:
I'SSO. Materials and repairs for build- j
$131.03!
1851. Di vers persons for work at
Public Buildings, 31 fig
1852. Repairs and work at Public
Buildings, and for materials. Can
dles, 188.01 !
18D3. Public Building®, (m ij. Whig
Commissioners,) 63.79 !
1854. E. Pennel), repairs at Court
House, 225.00
McMullen & Radebaugh,
(Painting,) 145.00
1865. Repairs to County Buildings, 482.66
1856. Repairs to Court House and
31136
1857. Repairs of Public Buildings, 461.18
From the abovo it will be seen i but in 1850, !
the Publio Buildings cost hut $131.03. In !
1851, they cost only $34.68. Iu 1552, SIBB.- j
01, but in tliif year is included candles, &c., ]
not included in other years, so that the Public j
Buildings actually aid not costs over about (
$125 00. In 1853, under a Whig Board, they j
cost only $63.79. In 1854, they cost $370,- i
00, and in 1855, $482,60, but in the accounts j
of these two ycats is included, the cost of the '
alteration of the wholo interior arrangements j
of the Court House, and which was cousiderci ;
at the time very low. In 1856 tho repairs to i
Publio Buildings cost s3ll 36' which in our
opinion wai pretty salty, but worse still, last
your, 1857, they wero $451.18! ! Is it not
time the people should demand a change ir. the :
Commissioners' office of Bedford County !
The tinkering at the Publio Buildings still '
continues, and wc are informed that at the last j
meeting of the Commissioners, several heavy j
checks were allowed for tinkering at the Public ;
Buildings and we wuld not be surprised thut ;
by the end of the present year, otl the same j
rate of increase iu these democratic times, and
as the expense was only $451.18 last year, it
will run up to about $600.00 for the present
year—a pretty heavy reward out of your pock
ets, tax-payers to a man for turning his coat a
year or two ago.
Seriously tax-payers of Bedford^Couuty, is
not this conduct of the Democratic Couuuis- j
sioners outrageous! The County Buildirgsare
actually not worth over about SIB,OOO. Is it
not o very heavy expenditure to keep them iu
order that you pay! Arc not S3OO and S4OO,
and upwards for that purpose au outrageous ex
penditure Who among you that owns $lB.-
000 worth of property pays that much every
year to keep it in repair! Wtuld not SSO a |
year be j lenty! It certainly would. Thou
look at the enormous increase fur the last few
year 9. Is it not time it should be stopped!
i After examining the items mentioned in the
i beginning of this article, losses iuoured by the '
' bungling of tho Commissioners, and the Publie
Buildings, is it any wonder tho Democratic j
Commissioners had to borrow $5000! The ;
stroDg probability i# that they will have to bor
row more money by next spring.
The length of our article prevents us expo
sing other acts of the Democratic Commission
ers. and wo must close, by calling on every j
one iu Bedford County, who is opposed to the
! way our County affairs have been tuauaged to
• yote for GIDEON D. TROUT, for Commissioner.
The Bedford Gaictte is guilty of FORGERY
I in plaoing John M. Read's pmo to a letter ho
never signed. See the last week's Gazette,
j and then tee the article from the North Arner
i ican at tho head i>f our editorial columns. If
a fellow i guilty of FORGERY in a matter of.
j this kind, would ho not be guilty in any other j
! case ! But then his FACE !
The meeting of our friends at Hopewell,
last Saturday, wis large and enthusiastic, over
one hundred voters were present. It was ad
-1 die-cod by Messrs. Jordan and Filler. The
I
best feeling prevailed.
BEDFORD 2WOUIRIR.
THE TARIFF OF 1857, AND WHO PAS
SKD IT.
Our Locofoco friend?, having in vain eudeav
ored to persuade the peoplo that their free
trade tariff has nothing to do vviih the present
hard time?, have now taken the other tack, and
uublusiiingly proclaim the falsehood that the
present tariff is not a democratic measure.—
They acknowledge they passed the Tariff of
1840, which has caused the present crash and
hard times, but attribute the whole trouble to
the Tariff of 1857, tnd then deny that they
passed it, and charge its passage on the Amer
icans and Republicans. Now, the Tariff of
1557 was passed iu March of that year, and
had therefore been in operation too short a pe
riod to ruiu the country by September of the
same year. The Tariff of 1846 had dona the
j work. But, we here affirm, and will prove,
j that the Tariff of 1857 was passed by the Lo
: cofoco party, and by their votes in Congress, as
j a party measure. The first evidence of this
: we give in the recommendation of President
| Pierce, iu his annual message to Congress, in
Dec'r, 1856, in which he urges upon Congress
as an " imperative " duty, the further reduction
of the Tariff of 1843. Here is what he says:
'•These considerations will justify a reduc
tion of the revenue from customs, so a? not" to
exceed forty-eight or fifty mtllioDs of dollars.
I think the exigency for such reduction imper
ative, end again urge it upon the consideration
of Congress
Here then is tho Presidential recommenda
tion to reduce the Tariff of 1846 still lower,
so that it irigiit approximate still nearer
the great democratic doctrine of free-trade,
announced in the Cincinnati Platform of the
preceding June. Iu compliance with tLis
Presidential and party recommendation, tho
bill was prepared, arid nassed by the sun? Con
gress in March, 1857, reducing the rates of the
Tariff of 1846. On the final passage of the
bill iu the House of Representatives, the vote
was 122 iu favor of the bill, and 72 against if.
And of these 122 who voted for the bill, 05
were Locofocos, 38 were Republicans and only
19 were Americans. A numter of the Re
publicans being Americans also, it is difficult
to classify them accurately; hut for our presrnt
purpose we may add the Americans aud Re
publicans together, and their total voto for iKe
bill was 57. or eight votes iess than the Demo
crats alone. In the House thai year there
were 83 democrats, 43 Americans and 108 Re
publican?, *o that no party bad a majority.—
But it appears that of tho 83 democrats, 65 of
t lie HI, or more than three-fourths of them, voted
for the Tariff of 1858, and the otho 18, with
or.e single exception, did not vote at all. They
wculd not voto ngainst a measure of their par
ty, recommended by a democratic President.—
But to clinch this matter still more effectually,
look at the 72 votes against the bill. Of these
whole 7 every man is either an .American or
Republican, except ONE only on? democrat, or
Locofoco, in the WHOLE UNITED STATES, dared
to stiud up and voto ogainst this p.rty
mease to of " Progressive Free Trade." This
one Looofoco is A9a Paoker, of tuis State, and
wc understand be is largely interested in coal
operations at Mauch Chunk, and hence per
mitted his private interests to swerve him from
his party fidelity. We therefore repeat that
the proof is overwhelming nnd conclusive, that
the Tariff of 1857 is a Looofoco Tariff, carried
through Congicss on the strength of a Presi
dential recommendation, and by a Locofoeo
party vote. For Pierce's Message, we refer to
the M' ssage and Documents of 1856-7, part
1., page 15. And for the vote on tho final
passage of the bill, we refer to the Congres
sional Globe for same year—Houso Pioeced
ings, page 791. We have the documents, and
can show them to anybody who has any doubt
on the subject.
It is unnecessary for us to analyse the vote
in the Senate, as our reader? know there was
in 1857, a large Locofoco majority in it. The
fact is, thero were but two Loeofooo? iu the
whole Senate who voted against the rascally-
Tariff of 1857. Ouly think of it; three Lo
oofoco votes, aud only threo, against the Tariff
of 1857, in both the Senate aud House ! And
yet an attempt is made to lio the people into
the belief that the Locofoco paity is not re
sponsible for its passage. Shame on suah hy
pocrisy and falsehood. Wo hope to see the
people brand it at the ballot box as it deserves,
and that the calumniators may thereby be
taught a lesson they will never forget as long
as they live.
Commistioiier.
Let the people of Bedford County look to
their interests in the selection of a Commissio
ner this fall. Win. Whetstone, Esq., the ouly
opposition Commissioner goes out, and hence
the advantage of having at least one in tho
Board of opposite politics. Gideon D. Trout,
Esq.,the People's candidate for that office is a
first rate man, and will make an excellent Com
missioner, and will do all be oan to make the
County matters stand bettor than they have
for a few yoars past. Should Mr Beckley, the
opposing candidate be clootcd, the Democracy
will have the entire Board, and they will bo
able to do just as they please, and the people
will have to suffer. Let tho present enormous
County Debt, warn them of their danger. Now
is the time to strike foi retrenchment, economy
aod reform.
TERRIFIC DISASTER.—The steamship Austria
burned at sea, on tho 13th ult. Out of six

VcPhemn and ProtecUon!
j Tbe following extract is froiu Mr. McPher
son s Address totoe voters of Hits Congressio
nal District, and shows plainly that he favors
the interests of the farmers, mechanics and
wnrkingmen of Pennsylvania :
"Protection in 1842 rc-ercated American
Trade. It gave a glow to every occupation
and speedily raised the Nation from extreme
prostration. In 1858, it would he covering
the country with "blessings and benefits,'" if
j the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, which is
i coutroled by a jealous aad selfish interest bos
j tile to the growth of Free Labor, were not de
j ttrained upon trying, even at the risk of the
i Nation's prosperity, the chimerical experiment
j of Free Trede, with its inevitable con>tquooce,
Direct Isxation. It will be pissing strange if
the Workingmen of the Country—who arc
most deeply concerned—do not rise in their
| might to rebuke tbo policy which prefers a
; local to the general interests, which consents to
I tbe domination of the less over the greater.-
However the Administration :cay ignore the
faet, the I ree Labor of the Country needs, de
serves, and must have Protection. Whoever
would refuse to give it, is nor
j just, neither liberal nor patriotic.

Kellly and Free Trade!
'1 he following is the Progressive Free Trade
Resolution of tlie Cit camuti Convention which
( nominated James Buchanan, and which is ad
vocated by Wilson Reiliy :
j "Retolvtd t 1 hat there uro questions oonnect
■ed with the foreign policy of this country,
which are inferior to no domestic question what
ever. The lime has come for the people of the
Lmted States to dtdare themselves in favor of j
\jree seas, AMI I'ttOOttEssiVK FKKR Tit AUK '
THROI GHOL'T THE \\ ORLU, ami, by solemn
manifestations to place their moial influence ,
at the side of their successful example "
Let the Laboring classes of the 17th Dis- i
trie', remember that the following 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.
"llesaiv*d, 1 hut the highest development of

attained by the GREATEST FREEDOM OF j
EXCHANGES, which can only be thoroughly
accomplished by the ENTIRE ABOLITION

CLUSIVELY TO DIRECT TAXATION." j
Let the laboring men of the 17th '
remember that only one Locofoco from Bonn- !
syhania, (Asa Backer,) had the courage to vote j
ag.iinst the above Free Tra IE and DIRECT TUT I
resolutir us. The vo'e stood as follow- :
YEAS — For Progressive Free Trade, 123, to
wit : 07 Democrats, 39 E.isteru Republicans,
and 17 Southern Americans.

72 to wit : 71 Americans and Republicans, I
and ju-t 1 Looofoco—Judge Asa Backer, of
Ba. Fourteen Looofooos c lodged —WlLSON
REILI.Y among them!
Here is the record of Free Trade Reilly.—
Ue dodged the vote ou these Free Trade reso- J
lotions, and if be had v..ted at all ho would !
have voted for Fret Trade and Direct Taxes, !
along with the balance of his party. He is [
weak in the the knees, and as he deserted the i
people of the district at the bidding of the i
Bresidcnt ou the Lecoinpton question, he also
goes with his party in favor of Free Trade.
\ oters choose ye between Edward JWiP'ier
son and Protection to Pennsylvania interests,
and Wilson Reilly and Free Trade and Direct
Taxation.
POOR HOUSE DIRECTOR.
The people of this Couuty should not ne
glect the office of poor Dilector. The only op
position member now in the Board ? George
D. Shuck, Esq., goes out this fall, and it is of
the utmost importance that we should Lave at
least one good man there as a watch. Ilenry
M. lloke, Esq., our candidate is one of the
best men in the County, and ought to be elect
ed, if tho tax-payers will look to their own in
terest. Johu Amos, the opposition candidate,
is well known about Bedford where ho resides,
to bo totally unfit, both by disposition and edu
cation, and as that Institution is largely iu debt,
the people will see the importance of Mr. Hoke's
election as a Director.
COL. FORNEY.—The much abused Johu
W. Forney, late democratic candidate for the
United States Senate, continues to pour hot
shot into tie broken ranks of the Lecompton
Sham democracy. ID a recent catd ho pro
claimed his determination to prove, at an ear
ly day, against Buchanan and bis Cabinet, all
the charges made in his recent Tarrytowu
speech, which we published week beforo last.—
Uis proofs and vindication of himself are now
announced to be forthcoming in the shape of an
address to the Beople of the whole couutrv,
and some rich revelations aro expected. The
harmony of modern democracy is refreshing to
behold.
LOUOFOOOI3M IN MAlNE.—After * most
terrific fight iu the good old Democratic State
of Maine tho Locofocos lost their Governor by
only ahout IQ.OOO, lost the whole six members
of OoDgress, and it is reported have suceeded
in electing one out of the 33 members of the
State Senate. Well done, Maine !
The tickets will be voted ou two slips of pa
per this election. The candidate for Supreme
Judge on one piece of papor, and all the other
candidates from Canal Commissioner down, on
another.
On our first page will bo found a very good

Mor<* FabririiiiouN.
We have the most reliable authority for sla
ting that Gen. B'.trus, the Locofoeo candidate
for Assembly, is circulating A report over this
t county, to the rffei'l '!<<• f ihf?i*e is souio un'Ur
}.,standing or arrangement autorg the votots of
Somerset county, under which Walker and
j Uny ato there to receive the votes of both
parties. After asserting this f.tlehy<>d, the
Genera! then appeals to Bedford county Amer
icans and Republicans not to submit to it, but
j to resent it by voting for liiut, the sud Gen.
Burns, as a Bedford county man. We feel it
to be our duty to here brand this story of the
j General sas an unmitigated fabrication from
. beginning to cri i, and call upon our friends ev
| cry where to repudiate it atid author by cv
| ery honest uteans in their power.
It seems our candidate for Assembly in 3otu
| cr.set county, Mr. Geo. G. Walker, had heard
jof this game of deception; mid be last week
| sent us for publication a card bran ling the
j whole matter as a malicious falsehood. We
j did not then publish the card, thinking Mr.
Walker had been misinformed, and having a
better opinion of Gen. Burns than to think him
j capable of so contemptible and dishonorable a
I trick to get a few votes. But, it seems we
were mistaken, an! Mr. Walker was rightly iu- '
formed, and we thotefore publish hit card, as '
follows:
A CARD.
Having learned that a rumor has been start
ed in Bedford county, to the effect that some
arrangement has been made between David
Hay and myself, or our friend'', by which we
are to be supported by both parties, to the pre
judice of the Bedford county candidates, I '
hereby declare and pronounce tho whole story j
a malicious fabrication from beginning to end, i
and untrue iu the whole and in every pait; and f
I call on my Bedford eoun'y friends to staud j
by me uninfluenced by any such slanders and
assure them of fair and honorable treatment at
my hands, and ut tho hands of our party
friends in Somerset county.

"A ellersburg, Sept.
•Such aro the mean- resorted to by our oppo
nents to deceive the Tutcrs of thW county, aud
*' e ' ld P a ou !" frienJti io every township will see
to it that this falsehood is oxposod, and that
our men vote undc-tstandingly, and repudiate
Geu. Burns as he deserves to bo repudiated for
tbts contemptible aud dishonorable trick. The
whole story is incredible on its very face to ev
ery man who knows David Hiv, and his rela
tions to our friends there. He last f)l per
mitted himself to be ran as art independent
candidate for the Legislature, ag an obi line
WAig, ami by great professions of old line
be got a uumber of their votes, to
ge;ber with the entire Locofoco vote, and was
thus elected over Dr. Stewart, our candidate
in that county. When the said David Hay,
old iino \\ big, weut to llarrisburg, be voted
all the time as an old line Locofoco , aud be is
uow the reguNr nominee of that party, and the
tdea that our friends in that county should in
any way support Hay, is more than ab
surd. He Is the last man who could expect
any such favors.
DEMOCRATIC TIMES.
How do the people of Bedford county like
these great Democratio times, which arc now
upon us, and" which we are now enjoying or en
during as well as we can? They are the gen
uine articles, and no mistake. We have a de
mocratic President, a democratic Governor, a
democratic Congress, and a democratic Legis
lature, and democratic national and State laws,
administered by democratic offieo holders; and
these times are the gcuuine fruits of democra
cy, practically iu force upon the people . n l the
country. How do you like theiu? If they
meet your approbation, and you consider every
thing right, vote for their continuance, by sup
porting the democratic ticket at next election.
If, on the contrary, you do cot like these dem
ocratic times, and desire a change, for the bet
ter, vote for tbe other ticket, and the other
candidates, and other principles, to ibe end
that you may bavo other and better times.
COL. PAVIP H. Hones.—We are glad to

We esrewm it a pleasure, resting upon our
absolute knowledge of its merits, to recom
mend Prof. \\ nod's Hair Restorative as the
best article of be kind with which we ere
acquainted, and one which has done, under our
own observation, all that it claims-and it
claims everything implied in its name.
Thts article, in short, will restore gray hair
to its original color, and adds to its growth
and beauty wherever any blight or disease has
checked that growth or marred that bcanty.—
Ibis has been proved in our family within a
few weeks, md in numerous other cases related

How TUB PTTOTECTIVE TAHIFF OF 1842 tf .AS
BKOKKN DOWN.- In a volume of Essays enti
tled "Men aud Things," by .James L. Baker, of
London, recently published by Orcssby.Niebolls
& Co., we end the names of a number of sub
sui iibers m 1844, to a fund to be used for the
pnrpose of disseminating free trade doctilne.
especially in the United States. About foer
buudred and fifty thousand dollars are said to
have been subscribed and the London Tune s
admitted that under this foreign pressure the
tariff of 1842 was repealed.
Before the next Presidential aleetiou three
now States additional to those voting its 1856,
will be admitted, viz: Minnesota, already in
tue Union, with Kansas and Oregon to ootne
in yet. In 1856 the whole number of clcotoral
votes was 296; with the above mentioned new
Sttes, the whole number in 1860 will be 306.
Of this cumber 154 will be required for a ma
jority. And of the 306 electoral votes 120
will belong to tbe slave Stats, and 186 to the
free Stat&s. The majority of tbe north over tbe
south is thus shown to be 66.
