POLITICAL MEETINGS.
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, <nd drawing pay for
the whole time! Can anything be more dis
honest J Is not this the way the government
and this County is plunged into vast debt 1—
Freemen of Bedford County, this is the man
ner in which this corrupt administration at
tempts to control the elections. This is the
manner in which they attempted to force an
odious constitution on the freo people of Kan
sas ! Treat this paid ageut of the government
with contempt. He is not a citizen of this
State—ho lives out of the Statp, and has his
family out of the State ; and if he attempts to
interfere in your election, treat him as he de
serves. Let the law be enforced against him—
and it is very severe. Submit to no interfer
ence from non-resident hired officials !
Baiid Hay and Extra Pay !
REMEMBER, taxpayers of Bedford Coun
ty that DAVID HAY - , the Locofoco candi
date for the Legislature from Somerset County
took the TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS EXTRA
PAY, OP THE LAST LOCOFOCO LEGISLATURE,
AND APPLIED IT TO IMS OWN USE. If you
oppose Legislators pocketing your money in
tbo shape of EXTRA PAY, vote against him on
uext Tuesday. Gen. Burns is in the same
boat with EXTRA PAY DAVY HAY, and will no
doubt do all he can to get some of the EXTRA
too, in case he should be elected
GEORGE W. WILLIAMS and GEORGE G.
WALKER have pledged themselves against EX
TRA-PAY in any shape. Which will you
chose tax-payers of Bedford County ? HAY,
BURNS AND EXTRA-PAY or WILLIAMS and
WALKER AGAINST EXTRA-PAY?
Changes!
We say to our friend? throughout the County,
that the prospects never were Letter. We hear
of many change* in favor of Ihe People's tick
et in nil parts of the County , and particularly,
in this neighborhood, which fact is well known,
and the names of the persons well known here
!by persons of all parlies. Many old Whigs
who voted for Buchanan, and for Packer, last
I fall have come back, and are now warmly,
i heartily with us. and we hear of only one sin
gle change against us, aud that is it) Bedford
township. Everything lu>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!

for any other candidates than the ones
regularly nominated by our party.—
No person asked us to print any others !

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 <jnflis of the
last year and present year )
Had there been no reason for such a crisis,
would not confidence have prevailed throughout
the community, enabling men of activity and :
enterprise to obtain the loan of money at mod
erate rates of interest ?
Had such men been able to obtain money at
sucti rates, should we now see our mills and
furnaces closed, and our mines abandoned ?
Had our mills, furnaces and mines been kept
in motion, would there not have been a steady
demand for labor ?
Not having done so, what is their present :
duty to their wives, their children, their cnuu
try, and themselves 1
Does not that duty require that they should
refuse to vote for any man whose past history
does not furnish conclusive evideuoc that be is
honestly in favor of such a tariff as will ena
ble us to make our own cloth and iron, and
keep our gold at home 1
Had the demand for labor increased, would
not wages have tended to become higher, even,
than thpy before had beeu?
