Petersons' Counterfeit Detector and Bank
Note List is corrected by Drexel & Co., the
vrell known baukers and brokers, and is the
best Detector of Counterfeit or altered Notes,
published in this country. The November
number, issued this week, fully describes
eighty-six new counterfeits, and contains a fac
simile engraving of a bogus bank note that is
being altered to various banks all over the
country, and which is being put into extensive
circulation. It also contains several pages of
other valuable information appertaining to bank
notes. We have no hesitation in pronounding
it the most complete, reliable and best publica
tion of the kind in the United States. It
should be m the hands of every storekeeper in
tho whole country, and we would advise all
such to send one dollar in a letter, for a year's
subscription, to the publishers, and thus sub
scribe for it at once. It is published by T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, No. 306 Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia.
The last Gazette says Bedford County is a
"dependency" of Somerset, in regard to Leg
islature. Don't that paper know that Bedford
was just as much a dependency of Cambria, as
she is now of Somorset, under the old appor
tionment bill ? That district was so arranged,
and this county was "disfranchised" by John
Cessna, who was then "your unfaithful and un
scrupulous" representative. Under that ap
portionment our candidates for Legislature,
when they had a majority in this oounty, were
defeated by Cambria, and it was no more than
right that in the next apportionment bill,
things should he reversed. "What's sauce for
the gooso should be sauce for the gander," Mr.
Gazette. Mr. Williams is a Bedford County
man,aud will make a much better representa
tive than Gen. Burns, and if these insincere
Locofocos did not wish Somerset to overbal
ance Bedford, why didn't they vote for Wil
liams? Bedford County was disfranchised for
seven years by Cambria County, and the Loco
focos had the benefit, and tho Gazette now
thinks it very unfair that tho other side should
bavo the benefit for the next soven years.
The last Hoilidaysburg Standard eopies the
yarn of tho Bedford Guzette in relation to
"inarching men up to tho polls at Coalmont"
on election day, "protesting that they were
voting contrary to their seutimonts," and which
was so completely exposed and refuted by our
correspondent, last week. But, poor fellows,
they must have something to talk about, to
beguile away their hours ou the trip up to the
head waters of ye mysterious salt! The election
was not held at Coalmont, but four miles from
there !
• WILL ME. KEILLY RESIGN ?"
"Wilson Reiliy is beaten in this district, by
267 majority. Tho people of this district have
emphatically declared that they do not desire
his services at Washington. Will Mr. lteilly,
notwithstanding his repudiation by his fellow
citizens of the 17th district, have the impu
dence to claim a scat in Congross this winter,
as their representative ? Under such circum
stances, would not any man who lus any respect
for himself, at once quietly resign?"
ACCIDENT. —On Thursday of last week, Mr.
Valentine Stockman, of this place, visited
Clearville, in company with his wife. From
that placo she nccompaiiicd Mr. David Morris,
in Mr. Stockman's buggy, to her brother's,
about a mile further. On tho way the horses
ran off, and one of them was killed, the buggy
broken, Mrs. S. slightly hurt, and Mr. Morris
considerably bruised. It was Providential
that they both were not killed. Mr. Stock- I
man's loss will be about $l5O.

X&AT PEOPLE'S TRIUMPH!!
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4,1858.
To DAVID OVER: —Massachusetts—the Re
publicans have elected their entire State and
Congressional ticket. New York—the Re
publicans have carried their whole State ticket,
by about twenty thousand majority. The
Congressional delegation will most probably
stand 24 Opposition, 7 democrats, and 2 acti-
Lecompton. The Legislature is largely Oppo
sition. Delaware—the democrats have elcot
ted their Governor, Congressman, and a major
ity of the Legislature, which ensures a demo
cratic U. S. Senator. New Jersey—The Op
position have elected all their members of Con
gress, and have a majority of 5 on joint ballot
of the two Houses. The Utter secures an op
position United States Senator. Illinois—the
latest returns indicate the success of the Doug
las democrats in the Legislature, which secures
his re-election. In Michigan and Wisconsin
the Republicans have carried everything, in
cluding all the members of Congress.
OUR MEETING.
As will be seen in the announcement of our
meeting, we have changed tho night from Mon
day to Tuesday of Court Week. We made this
call under the belief that the Locofocos would
have none, but seeing our announcement, they
have oonclnded to hold one, and from prece
dent, they claim Monday as their night. It
makes no difference. Lot our friends oome to
the meeting.
LOYD JONES, ESQ.
This gentleman, editor of the J\'orristown
Herald and Free Press, ono of tbe ablest and
most sterling opposition papers in the State,will
be supported as a candidate for Clerk of the
llouso of Representatives at the coming ses
sion. Mr. Jones wonld make an excellent
Clerk, and no one is more deserving. The press
should be sustained.
Our friends who intend visiting town in
Court week, aud who are indebted to us for
subscription, advertising and job work, will
please not forget us, as we never needed money
as badly. Those who do not come to town,
cau send their dues by their friends. Our terms
will be rigidly adhered to, $1,50 in advance,or
§2.00 at tho expiration of tho year.
We have not yet been informed of the next
meeting of the Buchanan Club. What's wrong 1
Let the people know ! Does the person from
whom it is named so "stinks in the nostrils" of
the people of Bedford County that they are
ashamed to meet again, or has the late election
knocked tho talk out of it ?
THANKSGIVING DAY.
The Governor of Pennsylvania has appoint
ed Thursday, tho 18th of November, inst, as
Thanksgiving Day. We hope that day will be
generally observed by our citizens.
QUEER. —In former days Cambria county
could give from 1200 to 1500 majority for the
Locofocos, hut this fall she only gives 500 for
her most popular man ! Has the salo of the
public works had anything to do with it ?
We notice that several of our coteniporaries
of the press are quite exultant at the prospect
of a good fat gobbler for Thanksgiving Day.
Our coop is empty. Don't friends, don't each
briDg one along.
Sec the advertisement cf the Ladies' Bazaar.
Mrs. PEUGH has goods cheap and good.
THE GERMAN VOTE.
We stated in a recent issue that a large pro
portion of the Germans of Pennsylvania vo
ted, at the recent election, for the Opposition
ticket. This class of citizens are mostly work
ing men, aud opposed to the introduction of
slavery into frco territory, thereby bringing
them into direct competition with negro slave
labor, they are equally opposed to a policy
which paralyzes industry, and deprives them of
employment altogether, or compels them to
work for starvation prices. For these reasons
the great mass of intelligent Germans united
with the People's party at tho late election in
repudiating the slavery extension and Free
trade policy of the party now in power at
Washington. Of the Germans of Reading tho
Journal, an American Republican paper, says:
"Tho result of the election is a very decided
rebuke to a few men who undertook to rule the
German vote of Reading. These mon suppo
sed that they could dictate to this largo class
of voters precisely how they should cast their
votes. They have probably discovered that
tbe Germans can read and think for them
selves, and cannot be deceived by empty pre
tences, or led by the dictation of office seek
ers."
ttiP~Tbc Republicans are obliged to get up a
new set of principles every year.— Washington
Union.
The Democrats do not wait a year. They
have a dozen different sets of principles in the
same campaign. They occupy nearly as many
platforms as there are States. Ask what de
mocracy is, and you will receive totally differ
ent answers, according to whother you inqqire
in New York or New Orleans, Mobile or Alba
ny. They aro for the tariff in Pennsylvania,
against it in Alabama. They believe in the
English swindle in Maryland, and denounce it
in Illinois. They iovc the Union in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and hate it in the port of
Charleston. They decry filibustcriain in Mas
sachusetts, but they fit out ships for it in Lou
BEDFORD IfffOUmilt
isiana. Tltey spit upon the Dred Scott decis
ion in Michigan, and swear by it at Washing
ton. They bepraise Buchanan iD Tammany
lla.ll, and leave him to bo "judged by his aets''
at Syracuse. They are like pirates, who cirry
flags of all sorts in their lockers, and sail un
der whichever is safest, displaying their own
black enstgu only when they have won tho bat
tle, and gained impunity for crime.— Albany

THE TJRIFF.
To the People of Pennsylvania-
FELLOW CITIZENS :—A groat victory having
been achieved, wo desire, on tho part of the
Committee of 76, appointed at a meeting of
the friends of the uationul industry iu all its
branches, held in this city on the 15th of June,
to offer you our congratulations, not ODly on
the triumph itself, but on the proof it furnishes
of the following facts :
That, in the necessity for protecting the far
mer in his efforts for bringing to bis door the
market for his products, and thereby econo
mising the tax of transportation, Ameiieaus,
Whigs, Democrats, and Republicans, have found
the solid platform on which they may securely
stand :
That men of all pursuits in life—famjers
and 'mechanics-—miners arid furnace-meu—la
borers and capitalists—traders and transporters
—have arrived at the knowledge, that they
have a common interest in endeavoring so to
diversify tho demands for labor as to bring
together tho producers and consumers of the
country :
That they are awake to the destructive ten
dencies of a system, which burthens the Dation
with a foreign debt that already counts by hun
dreds of millions—requiriug the remittance .of
probably thirty millions of dollars, annually,
for the payment of interest alone :
That they are unwilling further to sustain a
policy which condemns their own coal and ore
to remain useless in the grouud, while draining
the couutry of the precious metals to pay for
foreign iron :
That they do not desire longer to bo com
pelled t pay for foreign labor, while American
laborers aro badly fed and badly clothed, be
cause unemployed :
That the belief in a necessity for total change
in our domestic and foreign policy is rapidly
becoming general throughout the State : j
That it needs but union among ourselves to j
secure the permanent adoption of a system that
shall restore prosperity to the people, harmony
to the relations of the States, and dignity aud
character to the administration of tho federal
government.
The power to accomplish such a change, fel
low citizens, is in the hands of Pennsylvania,
nnd it is needed only that she exercise it.—
Placed as she is, between the north and the
south—great as she is in her natural resorcos
powerful as she is, by reason of her wealth and
population—9hc may, if sho will, guide and
direct the policy of the Union. Blind, how
ever, to her true interests, she has, but too
often, permitted herself to be harnessed to the
car of some ambitious aud unprincipled de
magogue, who, in consideration of favors to
himself, has helped to sacrifice her interests—
lending his aid to the closing of her mills and
furnaces, and to the expulsion of her workmen,
and tboreby depriving her farmers of the ad
vantages resulting from having a market near
at hand. The consequences exhibit themselves
in the fact that she has had no real iofluenco
iu the Union—her votes having boen obtained
by means of frauds, like, that of "Polk, Dallas,
aud the tariff of '42," while she herself, when
asking attention to,her interests, has been treat
ed as a mere pauper, seeking to be fed at the
public cost. Such, fellow citizens, have been
the effects of permitting herself to be, led when
she should have placed herself in the lead—of
endorsing the opinions of othors, when she
should boldly have proclaimed her own.
The true Pennsylvania policy knows no North
no South, no East, no West—it being that
which tends to promote the good of all, wheth
er farmers or planters, miners or manufacturers,
makers of railroads or owners of ships. It is
that policy which seeks to obtain perfect free
dom of commerce among ourselves, and with the
world at large, by means of sucli measuros of
protection as shall enable all to unite in the
effort to increase the productiveness of the labor
of each and all—there being a perfect harmony
iu the real and permanent interests of every
section of the country aud every portion of our
population. That tho existence of such harmony
may have tho chance of being fully demonstra
ted, but little is now required, except another
long pull, another strong pull, and another pull
all together, by the uicn of the Keystone State.
I'o that end wo invite your further cooperation
—pledging ourselves, that iu the effort for its
' accomplishment-, cor city will fully perform its
share of the work.

PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.
A democratic editor in Tennessee tells some
plain truths about his own party. He glories
in the fact that the democracy of to-day is not
that of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, or even
Van Buren. Hero is his testimony:
"Democracy is progression. What was de
mocracy in Jefforsou's time, is not democracy
at the present day. What was democracy in
Gen. Jackson's day is not democracy now.—•
And, indeed, what was democracy ten years
ago, is not democracy to-day."
That's a fact. One sort of democracy dies,
' and a very different sort of democracy lakes
its place. Then this latter fort of democracy
passe* away, and a democracy utterly unlike it
iu everything becomes its successor. Then
this last democracy vanishes into thin air, and
another monster stalks upon the Btage and
takos its name. And yet we are told that the
democratic is "the great party of permanen
cy." That sort of " permanency " is no
doubt a wonderful invention. Apply the
term democracy to all sorts of nightmares, and
unquestionably democracy will he permanent;
for nightmares, with only a change of the phan
tasmagoria, will last as long as men and wom
en eat lato suppers or take bad consciences to
bed with thorn.-- Herrisburg Telegraph.
Increased Vote of Baltimore.
The Ant i-American papers forget the Eighth
Ward, "Limerick," in their great haste to ac
count for tho increase of the total vote of the
city since 1856, by imputing it to frauds com
mitted by the American party. Notice the fol
lowing returns, and see to which party the fraud
beloogs:
Total vote in 1858, 28 877
" " 1856, 2C*2 40
Increase, 2,637
E lg hth ward, 1858, S 549
" 1856, 1,886
Increase in Eighth ward; 1,663
Increase in the 19 Am. wards, 974
In the nineteen American wards we have, in
two years, an average increase of 51 votes,
which is a reasonable gain; iu the Eighth ward
j alone we havo an iucrease of I,663,which is an
unreasonable gain. Now, we ask, which party
is accountable for I lie fraud ?
Speaking of the election of Mayor Swann the
Pariot says:
This, too, was done by a fair election, where
the polls were open to every citizen who really
desired to exercise the right of suff.age. Prompt
I means were instituted for the preservation of
1 order, and with the exception of a few brawls *
lucident to the excitement of all elections; or
der prevailed. It is true that the opposing can
didate, Col. Shutt, at a late hour, withdrew his
name from the contest, in a card, which is not
likely to do hiui much service hereafter; yet his
friends coutinued to vote for him, and we arc
ct opinion that he obtained as formidable a vote
as Le could otheiwise have had.
THE "RETIRED LIST."
The President having appointed J. Glancy
Jones Minister of Vienna, the Philadelphia
Bulletin after suggesting Hon. Henry M. Phil
lips as Minister to England, makes the follow
ing disposition of the remaining Lccompton
candidates for re-election to Cougress, who
were put on the "retired list" by the people:
"Mr. Owen Jones might do for France, and
it would he very easy to a vacancy thero
for his acoouimodalion. Mr. Landy, perhaps,
would scarcely be fitted to go abroad, but
there is a lresh Governor wanted for Kan
sas, and he would answer as weli as anv other
Lecoinptonite. If there is nothing for Mr.
Gil lis, why not fit out an exploring expedition,
with him at the head, to go in search of Mor
gan? Mr. Dewart would make a very fair and
substantial representative of tho Government
at Brussels, or Turiu, or Naples. Wilson
Reilly is just now in excellent condition to be
appointed as special Commissioner to Coventry.
Leidy and White might De despatched to Hal
ifax or Jericho, or to any place that might af
ford them a hiding place; and as for Ah!, let
biui be sent to South America to buy mules!"
Horrible Tragedy in New l'ork.
NEW YORK, OCT. 27.
A most horrible butchery was perpetrated
last night on West Thirteenth street. The
victims are the family of Francis Gouldy, lum
ber merchant, consisting of himself, wife, two
sons, a daughter, and two servant girls. None
of them arc yet dead. Their murderer, or
would-be murderer, is the oldest son of Mr.
Gouldy. Ho returned home to his father's j
bouso last night at 11 o'clock, iu a slate of de
lirium. Having armed himself with an axe, he
first attacked his father, beating in his skull so
that he cannot live. The mother came to the
rescue of the faiher, and she was beaten and
badly wounded. The twoyouug brothers, aged
respectively nine and thirteen, were uext at
tacked, and the eldest cannot live. A mar
ried sister of the murderer, with a babe in her
arms, was next attacked, but escaped without
serious injury. Two servant girls were the
victims of the maniac, ami they were horribly
butchered. It is feared that neither can re
cover. Tho assassin then locked himself in his
own chamber aud blew out his brains with a
pistol. The family is highly respectable, aud i
the father is uu officer in the Thirteenth strcot j
Methodist Church.
A Woman on the Gallon s
Execution of Mary Twiggs for the Murder i
of Her Husband and Mrs. Clark—Died as- \
serting her innocence.
DANVILLE, October 23. —Tho woman Mary
Twiggs, couvicted for participating in the mur
der ot her husband aud Mrs. Clark, was exe
cuted yesterday. The town was crowded with
people from the country, and the roofs of the
buildings adjacent to the prison were filled with
persons, anxious to witness tho horrid specta
cle.
She bade farewell to her brother and chil
dren, and after dovotiooal exercise in her room,
was taken to the scaffold at a quarter past ten j
o'clock, leaning ou tho arm of oue of her spirit- I
ual'advisers. A chaptor having been read, and i
an impressive prayer offered up on the scaffold,
Mrs. Twiggs spoke for 9ix or eight minutes,
protesting her inuocenoe, declaring her readi
ness to die aud hoi trust in a just Judge, only
regretting to leave behind her two orphan chil
dren. She was much affected throughout.—
The solemnity of tho scene was made more im
pressive by her groans and sobs. Even after
the cap was drawn over her face she appealed
to God in the most earnest manner, and she as
serted her innocence. At ten o'clock and thir
ty-five minutes the drop fell, and after strug
gling for a few moments, the wretched woman
hung lifeless.
