At the request of our friends in several of the Townships, our County Committee has called meetings at the following times and places: At StonerMown, on Friday, Oct. 8, at 7 o'- clock, P. M. At Pleasantville, Saturday, Oct. 9, at 1 o'- clock P. M. Other meetings, it is expected, will be an nounced in due time, and it is hoped our friends will turn out strong, as good speakers will be present to address the meetings. TO THE POLLS \ TO THE POLLS! ! RALLY .' RALLY ! ! RALLY! ! ! The time has come, freemen of Bedford County, FOR VOTING! Let every one of you who is in favor of a change of rulers, turn outxw next Tuesday and vote for the Peo ple's ticket' 1 . Bedford County has been run into about $12,000 of debt, for which you will be taxed heavily for many years to come. Pennsylvania has been run into some $40,000,- 000. The national administration is expending $100,000,000 a year, and plunging the na tion into a vast national debt. This has all been done by the ljooofoco party, aaJ if you wish thiugs to chaDge, for the better, (they can not get worse,) go and tote for the People's County and State ticket. The sufferings of all classes requires this duty. Let every one who is in favor of tLe Protection of American in dustry, against the pauper labor of Europe go and vote for Vie people's ticket on Tuesday next. If you arc io favor of our Coal and Iron mines being worked by a hardy and industrious class of miners, go and vote for the People's ticket on Tuesday next. If you are in favor of the protection of all kinds of American labor, and in favor of better times, go and vote the Peo ple's ticket on Tuesday next. If you are op posed to the late outrages on the freemen of Kansas, to the betrayel of that people by the President of the United States, and men like WILSON REILLY, who falsified all their pledges to you before the election, go and vote against WILSON REILLY and for the People's Stale and County ticket. We deem it hardly necessary to add much to what we Lave here written, as we presume every voter is fully oouversant with tbo issues of this campaign, and they are of the utmost importance —issues upon which the very liber ties of the people depend. Then turn-out and defend them with your voles, and all mankind, posterity and your consciences,will tell you that you have done your duty. Let no man stay anxiy from the Polls, but let every one from the hill top, from the plain, from the valley every whery, TURN-OUT, TURN-OUT, and RALLY, RALLY, to the support of our ticket. Every thing iu the Slate looks favorable for a GLORI OUS VICTORY this fall, let the freemen of Bed ford County TURN-OUT and help achieve the victory, and all will be well. Poor Director. We warn tho people of Bedford County against the election of JOHN AMOS, tho Loco foco candidate for Poor Director. Ho is in every way unqualified for the office, and if un fortunately, he should be elected, the people of the County will regret the choice. It is well known that he openly expi esses the determina tion,in case. of his election, to have CHRISTIAN STOCFFER, his son-in-law, appointed as the Miller ! Mr. Stouffer, several years ago, had charge of the Poor House Mill, and the people know how badly affairs were then managed, and if they wish to return to the same state of affairs, they will elect JOHN AMOS. Reraem. ber our prediction, as sure as he is elected, will be the Miller. He also intends to ive his own son appointed to the Stewardship, and then with the father as Director, the son as and the sou-in-law as Miller, tho famiiy Amos will have things all to themselves in that Institution. Lot the voters beware 1 What Next? The stock in trade of our Loeofocc friends in the present campaign, consists mainly of misrepresentations and falsehoods. One of their great the pretended fact that JOHN M. REAI) our candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court, had written or signed a letter so long ago as 184 C, congratulating Geo. M. Dallas for giving his casting vote against the Tariff of 1842. We never could see the force of this charge very clearly even if it bad been true. John >l. Read was a Locofoco at that time, TWELVE YEARS AGO, and if he had then acted with Mr. Dallas, and his party friends, it would not have been so very strange; nor could it well be said now since he has left that party and been acting with us for years, that he holds the same views now that he did twelve years ago. But. as we have heretofore shown, the whole charge turns out to be a mere fabrication and forgery. John M. Read never signed any such letter, nor authorized any body else to sign it for him. One John F. Read did sign it, aud it was an easy matter for an unscru pulous opposition to change the F. to M. and then declare it to be the act of our candidate. Gentlemen, "a miss is as good as a mile," and your shallow trick has been exposed, and not even forgery will save you. We have seen but one democratic paper which had the honesty to admit the truth in the matter, and publilcy ex honcrate John M. Read from the cbargo. No one who knows the tactics of the Locofoco press here would expect the retraction of any false hood it ever uttered. If it should undertake this, it would require about the whole of one paper to unsay or correct the errors 10 the pre ceding one. Another great bobby of our opponents is the representation that they did u>t pass the tariff law of 1857, but that the Republicans and Americans did. In our paper of last week we proved by the record the falsehood of this whole matter, by a single production of the facts. We showed that President Pierce recommended the passage of tbefTariffof 1857, in his last annual message; and that the party by a vote of 67 to 1, voted for the bill and passed it through as a party measure ONLY ONE LOCOFOCO IN THE WHOLE 83 IN THE LOWER HOUSE OF CONGRESS VOTING AGAINST IT. — These fabrications have been reiterated in the press, and from the stump all over the county, and rehashed in tbo Mrs. Partington corres pondence of the Gazette from Washington, and now all is proved forgery and fabrication ; and it is in view of this we inquire, what next ! We know the never failing resorces of sham democracy. When beeten out of ono false hood they take another, aud th*n another, and go on from beginning to end. Nothing is too gross or teo monstrous. But, they are in a worse fix just now than we have ever known them before in one respect. They can not ex plain away the present hard and democratic times, which are pressing upon everybody with crushing effect. They are responsible for them, and the people know it; and the corrupt par ty is about to be compelled to feel it at the ballot box on next Tuesday. We are confi dent the people can not and will not allow the authors of such times to go unwhipt of jus tice. See if iu a few days the election does not prove ihe correctness of our notions on this subject. The County Debt! REMEMBER, voters of Bedford County, that siuce the Locofocos have secured a ma jority of Commissioners and Poor Directors, the Debt of Bedford County it somewhere in the neighborhood of $12,000!! They bor rowed $5,000 last spring, and by next spring the probability is that they will be borrowing more ! REMEMBER, that they have created a new office— tinker at the public buildings—at an expense of S4OO and SSOO a year, wbeo the buildings should not cost over S4O or SSO a year. Remember that this tinker is almost constantly employed at the buildings. REMEMBER, that the County buildings cost $311.36 in 1856—and $451.10 in 1857 —and the probability is that they will cost the taxpayers S3OO in 1858, at the rate the tink ering has been going on so far this year. REMEMBER, that the present Looofoco board of Commissioners, last year, by misman agement, bungling and careltssnesi, sunk Jar the County, in two small matters, the sum of $1087.85! REMEMBER, that the present Locofooo board of Commissioners have sunk the County so largely in debt that we will not bo able to pay it off for a generation to come ! REMEMBER, that your County tax will bo largely increased next year , to pay tko enor mous debts incurred by the Looofoco Commis sioners. REMEMBER, that the Poor House is fast running you into debt, and that its affairs are badly managed uuder the present Locofooo board of Directors. REMEMBER, that when the Americans bad a majority in the board, that the taxes were lowered—that they paid off a portion of the debt—but under the present Locofooo ma jority things go on in the old way. REMEMBER, that the only way to have things go better, is to make a change in the Commissioners' office, and in the board of Poor Directors. REMEMBER, that GIDEON D. TROUT, and HENRY M. HOKE, our candidates for Commia BEDFORD IBJOUIREIt sinner aud Poor Director, are excellent busi ness men, and, if elected, will do all in their power to bring about a change for the better. REMEMBER these facts, freemen of Bed ford Couuty, on Tuesday next, and vote ac cordingly. Gideon D. Trout We have heretofore considered the voters of Bedford County fortunate in having the op portunity to vote for so good a man as Gideon D. Trout for County Commissioner. He not only comes fully up to the good old Jefferscni an standard of honesty and capacity, but is so cially a most agreeable gentleman, aud every way a most acceptable candidate. And yet, in the Gazette of last week, in au article beaded "Jacob Beckley," is the following false aud coteuiptible paragraph: "llis oppoDcut, Gideon D. Trout, is not to be compared with him in point of ability. Mr. Trout is a bad fiuancier, a poor manager, as is proved by bis heavy indebtedness. A man who cannot keep his own affairs in order, espe cially with the opportunities Mr. Trout has had, would rnako a very unreliable agent for the people. The County needs just such a man as Jacob Beckley to keep it out of debf." The above article, to say the least of it, is very uugentlenxanly and very untrue, and its falsehood is so manifest with those who knew Mr. Trout, that we doubt not it will do ffim more good than harm. In a recent suit, where the worth of Mr. Trout's property was called in question, witnessos stated upon oath thnt lie was worth more than twenty thoasand dollars over and above his indebtedness; and yet this is the man of whom it is said he "cannot keep his own affairs in order." Ho never got a dol lar from from bis father's ostate, but has been actively engaged in storckcepiug, milling and farming for many years, aud now has a hand some estate, acquired alone by his honesty, ability, busiuess iact and hard work. Hris one of our most intelligent and successful bus iness men, and yet, according to the Gazrttc, he is "a bad financier," and "a poor manager." We would not say anything unkind, and much less untrue, about Mr. Beckley, but we do think the Gazette has been doing him bad servico by getting up a comparison between liim and Mr. Trout. He lias Dot half the bus iness tact, experience or ability of Mr. Trout, and everybody who knows the two men kndws these facts. And it is a notorious fact, proved by the County recorJ.-, that it is only a few mouths since the property of this gre3t finan cier, Beckley, wis iu the hands of tbo Sheriff; and wo will ouly suggest that the less Mr. Beckley's friends say about tue matter the bet ter it will be for him. More Lies! We understand that Gen. James Burns, still continues bis assertions, in bis electioneering trips through tins County thai the people of Somerset Uouoty intend to vote for Walker and Hay, the two Somerset County candidates.. The Card of Mr W. in our last paper clearly pns the lie to this charge. Our friends iu Somerset will do all in their power for Mr. Williams as well as Jlr. Walker, our candidates for Assem bly. Mr. Burns had better get at some other electioneering hobby—this bait won't toko. We understand, also, from reliable authority, that when Mr. James Burns, was using this hobby in the Northeastern part of this County, he was asked the question, "would he vote for GEORGE W. WILLIAMS," he replied that "be certainly would." This is a mean and contemp tible way to try to catch votes, but it won't do, Mr. Burns will not vote for WILLIAMS, and only says that he will, to deceive you. He will not, and dare not vote for a man on our ticket. Williams and Walker, aro first-rate men, aud we trust all our friends will see that both their names are on their tickets. We also have it from good authority, that B. F. Meyers states in his speeches, that Mr. Walker told bim tbat if he was elected, "he would take the seveu hundred dollars pay, and if tho Legislature increased the pay to one thousand dollars, he would take it and put it into the funds of the agricultural society."— This is a lit out of the whole cloth, Mr. Walker NEVER told Myers so, he is not on such inti mate terms with this hang-dog as tbat. Mr. Walker has pledged himself to us, and author ized us to state that if HE IS ELECTED HE WILL DO ALL IN HIS POWER TO BRINO THE PAY DOWN TO SSOO— THE FORMER SALARY. IIE WILL VOTE AGAINST ANY INCREASE, AND HE WILL VOTE AGAINST ANY EXTRA PAY FOR ANYTHING. Mr. Williams writes to us and authorizes us to say, that "HE WILL VOTE FOR AND ADVOCATE THE REPEAL OF THE EXTRA PAY LAW," should be be elected. He also "favors the reduction of the salaries of all the high-salaried office-holders in the State." Sueb aro the facts— let the people know them, and vote accordingly. Believe nothing tbat Burns or any of the Looofoco speakers may say against our candidates. Williams and Walker are excellent men, will make good and attentive members, aud we hope all our friends will stand by them to the last. Look Out! We understand that tickets are in circula tion with the names of all our caudidates upoo them except one or two, and in their place, Locofoco candidates are inserted ! Beware ! Examine carefully your tickets before voting them ! The anti-Lecompton members of Congress in California have been eleetod. OFFICE-HOLDER 8 INTERMED DLING IN ELECTIONS ! G. W. BOWMAN, Superintendent of Pub lic Printmg, is now in Bedford, sent on tor the purpose of interfering in our election. lie is drawing from the Government $3500 per an num, and perquisites, and yet is spending weeks away from his post, ks well, and our friends never were in such good cheer. Mark I our prediction we will give the Lecofoco party | an awful—a terrible drubbiug next Tuesday. ' Do your duty, friends, and all will be well ? Organize! Get Out the Vote! Organize f Our friends in the county realize, wo know, the great importance of the present contest, and arc alive to the necessity of carrying our ticket through successfully ; but are they at tending fully to the means of obtaining suc ! cess ? Are they properly organized 1 Arc | vigilance committees appointed and at work f | Have they appointed sub-committees in each [ school district, to briug out the vote in full ? Have they arranged for conveyances to git out the old and the infirm ? If these things have not been attended to, let them be attended to at once. No time is to be lost. Do not, reader, put it off on some one else, but do it yourse/J. If these things are properly done, we shall elect our entire ticket. Friends of Protection! GO TO THE POLLS ON TUESDAY NEXT, AND VOTE EARLY. SEE THAT NO ILLEGAL VOTES ARE POJ-LED. STAY AT THE POLLS ALL DAY UN TIL THEY CLOSE. HAVE YOUR WAGONS OUT, to bring to the election, the aged, the infirm, the careless. GUARD WELL THE BALLOT-BOX ! and have EVERY VOTER OUTJ and A GLORIOUS VICTORY AWAITS YOU. NOTICE ! No tickets were printed in this office for any other candidates than the ones regularly nominated by our party.— No person asked us to print any others ! If any of our tickets are printed with the name of any other candidate in them they were printed at the offioe of the Bedford Gazette ! We have undoubted authority that such tickets were printed by the Bedford Gazette ! Friends consider this matter' These tickets were printed by the Locofocos! Hard Times! The people of Pennsylvania, by this time are aware that the only thing that will bring about ; better times, is a Protection Tariff. The times never were harder ! Thero is no money in cir culation. Tho Buchanan administration is a failure ! All who go in for a change for the ! better, will vote for Edward McPherson, and the People's State and County ticket.— Remember, McPherson and better times* against Reilly and tfee continuance of the present Loeofoco bajrd times ' REMEMBER TAX-PAYERS! That Maj. S. DAVIS, the present Lo co Treasurer, took to the city $2,000 in silver, of the borrowed money, last spring, and "drew upon it A NICE PRE MIUM, WHICH TO THIS DAY REPOSES IN HIS OWN POCKET!" He was Treasurer then and is yet. This is the way the County affairs are managed ! If you are opposed to such conduct, vote the People's Ticket. ■ Are you ready for action ! Make n list of voters in each district, v.i > are opposed to the ruiuious policy of liui-hunanum. and see that each and every man conies to the polls on election day. hot none suy away! The in terests of the tax-payers demand that every man should couic to the polls and right the wrongs inflicted upon the pcjple by Buchanan's Administration. OUR MEETINGS.— The meetings of our friends in Monroe and Bedford Townships, were very large and enthusiastic, whilst those of the opposition have all been small, co-d aud spirit less. Everything looks right for the People's cause. A IIAINY Dir. It is probable that Tuesday next may bo a rainy day. No matter, rain or shiue, let every friend of the protection of the languishing in terests of our country, turn out i nd vote. fOL. FORNEY'S ADDRESS. In the Press of 30th ult. appears an address of some eight columns of Mr. Forney's, in vindication of the principles of Popular Sov ereignty, and in reply to the assaults of the j Lccompton organs. Ho intended to deliver : the address eta public meeting, but the mul- j tiplicity of his duties has rendered it impossi ble. He coimcuces by reviewing tbo part be took at Tarrytown, and the oau.es which in duced hint to make the speech which he did there. He then alludes to the statement of the i Union, denying the conversation he is repre sented to have had with the President. He ; says : "Not only did the conversation take ; place, but iuanv things that were said were omitted in tire Tarrytown speech. Among \ other things, the President said, *lt you, Walk'- ler and Douglas will unite in support of my Kansas policy, the people of Kansas will vote for it at the election on the 21st of December. J J know that joy have the strong side of the question, and that yon can carry off the people, but 1 appeal to you t>> stand with uie, because, if 1 don't adhere to my policy. Alabama. Georgia aud Mississippi will probably secede frotc the Union.' A few days after this in } terview, a friend from Southern N. York visited |me {Forney} at Philadelphia, saying that the | President had desired him to assure me that ! 'be President intended to make his Kansas policy a test upon the party, and that no man would be tolerated by the Administration who i did not approve and support i'." Regarding the Union's assertions that his (Forney's) statement of the cabinet meeting is fuhe, Mr. Forney says thai the repoit of the i conversation bet ween Walker and the cabinet was communicated and described byOol. S. M. Johusou, one of the editors of the Union.— Mr. Forney then ulludcs to the attacks of the New York ilcrald upon him, applying terms to the editor of that paper far from complimentary. He next quoted from several articles that had appeared in the Herald during the Presidential campaign, saying that Mr. Buchanan once said to him with much excitement, "Why am I so traduced and pursued by this infamous knave? Have 1 no friends who will visit New York aud punish him as he deserves ? His ears should be taken off iu tho public streets."— Subsequent to the election when he (Forney) had published a caustic article about Mr. Ben nett, Mr. Buchanan regretted the publication, saying, "I desire thai Mr. Bennett shall sup port my administration." Mr. Forney then re views the political condition of the Union, claiming that all the Democratic victories at the North have been anti-Leeomptoo, and con cludes by predicting the complete overthrow of the President's rule in the coming election in this State. Notes and Queries for Working Men. The federal government has recently made a contract for §760,000 worth of Scotch water pipes, which are now in course of being deliv ered. The Galveston and Houston Railroad Com pany has just made a contract in Belgium for 14,900 tons of iron. Tho Atlantio aud Great Western Railroad has just made a large contract in England for railroad iron. The shipmeuts of gold from New York last week amounted to §1,301,140 46. The total shipments from that port, for this year, have been $19,400,349 46. If wo had made our own iron, could we not have retained all this gold ? If the demand for gold had not existed, should wo have had the financial ng life —unalloyed happiuess—and all the pleasures of this well always attend theui. Ou the 7th ult., by Geo. W.
