BEDFORD INQUIRER. BEDFORD, Pa. Friday Morning. SOT 36 1858. "EEUtLESS AND FREE." D- OVER - Editor and Proprietor. In the last Gazette i* a long article abound ing in vituperation and abuse of tho Hon- FRANCIS JORDAN, on account of his speech on Tuesday night of Court week. This all falls harmless to the ground ID this community where he is known. The slander# of a villian ana , wretch like the fellow who wrote that article 1 always miss iheir mark, and lecoil upon their j author. But as the G ixette writer has no char acter to lose they do nobody any harm. Ho says that Mr. Jordan told what was not true when he said "that iu 185G the battle cry was l ßuehanan and Frit Kan as.' " T here is no use noticing this. The L focos in Penn sylvania and throughout the North, said that the only way to make Kansas a Free State was, to elect Buchauan. who would guard the ballot boxes there, and as it was known that the Free Sute nicu had a large majority, it would come in as a Free State. Mr. Buchanan, however, deserted his pledges, and used everything in his power to enslave the people, hut they have decided ogiiust tho outrages of the adminis tration and tho border-ruffians, and they will come into the Union only as a Fret State or not at ail' A majority of upwards of 00.000 of the people of Pennsylvania at the late Con gressional cleoti:n say that Mr. Jordan tells the truth. lie says that Mr. Jordan tells an untruth in saying "that the Democrats established the present (free trade) Tariff regulations." What are the facts? All tho Locofoeos, G7, that vo ted on tuis question voted for the present bill, except only Asa Packer, and 71 of the opposi tion and Asa Packer, voted against it—aDd not one Locofoco! 39 Republicans, mostly with Locofoco antecedents, voted for it, but all that voted against it, except one , were Americans and Republicans. This shows that Mr. Jor dan was right. The Gazette also says, to prove that it was an opposition measure, Lewis 1) Campbell Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the bill. L. A. Campbell of the House reported a bill for change of the Tariff—it did not propose any reduction on iron, but when the bill weot to the Locofoco Senate, then it was changed so as to strike down Pennsylvania interests, and to this the House would uot agree, and it finally got through only by a committee of conference. At that time the Locofoeos had the President, a major ity of two-thirds iu the Senate, and neither party lud the House. This is pioved by the fact that the House was balloting for Speaker, for six weeks, and Bank# was finally elected under a plurality re&olutiou. So that Mr. Jor duti was right in the above assertion. He says that Mr. Jordan tells a falsehood in sayiug that the U. S. Troops were stationed iu KaDsas for the purpose of making it a Slave State It is well kuowu that these troops only overawed Froo State men, and protected the border-ruffians, in murdering, pillaging and vi olating Free State men and women, and pro tecting tho ruffians iu their illegal voting and trying to enslave the people. Every oue who has catefuily read the history of events in that Territory kuow this, and the people of the whole North, at the recent elections have decided that they believe it, by an unpreeedent majority.— The other talk on, Kansas, in the Gazette arti cle amounts to the same as the above Mr Joi dan tells the truth here again. He says that Mr. Jordan tells an untruth in sayiug that the Locofoco party "is in favor of resorting to direct taxation for the support of tbo Federal Government." Mr. Jordau said that the Locofoco Chairmau, W. W. Boyce of South Carolina, of the Locofooo Committee, ID the Locofoco Senate, of the iast Coogress, of fered the follow'tig resolution among others of a like charaoter : 41 Resolved, that the vast and increasing ex penditure of the federul government indicates the necessity of a change iu our fiscal system whereby the protective policy shall be entirely abandoned, and a resort hid, at as early a pe riod as may be practicable, EXCLUSIVELY TO DIRECT TAXATION. Free traders aro all in favor of this. Mr. Jordan's assertion is thus corroborated by the proof. Wo have thus taken each assertion of this ahamelcon Meyers, who changes his political vparkms a* olten as this animal does its colors, especially when stovt corruption agents are about, ami prove in every case, Mr. Jordan'a MMrtions true by the facts, and Meyers' own ebarges base lies. fleet- Heels cannot injuro the party by hir false and billingsgate charges against Mr. Jordan. People all consider the source. The official vote in twenty-eight counties in Illinois is : Republicans 4U,371 ; Douglasite9 39,375 Administration 5G3 ! The anti- Lecompton majority in New York, as indicated in the I Congressional elections, is over 60.000. The Loco meeting of Monday night week was I one of tbo smallest County meetings we have I ever seen assemble in the Court House. More people wore in town ou that day than there have been for many years, and the house was not half full, the seats from tbo middle of the room buck were nearly all empty! Wc were present throughout the proceedings which lasted probably an hour and a half, and intended to make a full report, but want of room forbids anything more thau a passing notice. The meeting was opened by our usual*boiu bustio friend, the gallant .Major Tute, but not half so bombastic as heretofore ! He bad a doleful story about the reeen: defeat of the "unterrified !" aud said that he would rather have carried Bedford Couuty than the whole State. Our particuta/ friend, Shannon follow ed next, this time, not last; the farce was in the middle ! He was mutjD surprised at and de nounced, iu strong terms, Mr. Michael War inoth for voting the opposition ticket on election da}' —Mr. VVuruioth being an intelligent Qer i man Catholic—just us though a German and a , Catholic had not a right to vote a3 he pleased liu this free country! Many more of the same country and religiou arc doing the same thing, as they see, as iu Ad mis, and other counties, that ihoy are treated worse by the Loeofocos, than by the People's party. He gloried over the result in the County, and particularly St. Clair and Bedford Borough, aud staled that they were badly beaten iu the State and throughout the North, yet they had carried St. Clair and Bedford Borough ! and ho would rather have carried them than the State and the whole country .' He ;tlso said the opposition would rather have carried this County than all our recent triumphs. This is humbug. We will carry the Couuty next full by several hundred, if we gain, which we will, us many over this fall's vote as we did over the last. A ihiiig with a : 'hang-dog" look aud Jljrican.heels, then read a few resolutions, which could hardly be understood on account of the Guinea lan guage iu which they wpre read. If slavery should ever bo legalized in this State he had better take care of hissetf! Next came our good naturcd friend Solid!, who tried to keep the few iu the house in good humor, by some auecdotes from history He gloried over the Couuty! nolhiug but the County ! After talk ing about this matter, he said, applying the re mark to the opposition, that tbo Ethiopian General, Haunibal, had once said after gaining a victory over the Romans, "auother such victory and I am undone!" We will correct Mr. Scheil. Hannibal was not an Ethiopian General,and it was not Hannibal that made ;be assertion it. question. The remark, however will apply to another such victory as they gain j cd io this County. The meeting was small, cold, and spiritless; j an uphill business throughout, and the ac counting for their defeat anything but pleas < ant to the speakers, none of whose remarks ex- j ceedcd fifteen or twenty miuutes. The Le- j compton question was slightly alluded to by Schell, only. Mr. Buchanan's "integrity and practical statesmanship" was approved m one of the resolutions, and seine of the speakers were very severe on the "traitor" and "rene gade," John W. Forney. Douglas was not mentioned. THANKSGIVING DAY was not generally ob served iu this place as it should have been. Oi>u"t was iu session, and the stores and other places of business were generally open. We noticed the stores of 8. Shuck & Co., Mrs. Peugh and Mrs Potts, wero the only ones closed. A ser mon was preached by Rev. Mr Heckertnau of the German Reformed Congregation, in the Presbyterian Church, to a large congregation. We think ii is right and proper that a day of Thanksgiving should at least once a year be set apart, and observed in thankfulness and prayer for the many mercies vouchsafed to us, and we hope that the next such day may be better ob served by our people. ILLINOIS. The Republican State ticket in Illinois has been elected by about 5000. Douglas is beat en ou the popular vote, but it is thought has secured a majority on joint ballot of eight in 1 the Legislature, which will re-elect him to the U. S. Senate. Some of the administration party, howevor, say that there arc three anti- Douglas Locofoco Senators holding over, and two representatives of the same class, who will have tho balance of power, and that Doug las is quite uncertain of re election. We will see. THOMAS E. COCHRAN, ESQ. This gentleman is uaiued by many of the opposition papers for the Best State Treasurer ship. Mr. Cochran was for many years the able editor of tho York Jidoocott, one of the best papers in the Stato, and was, in 1856, the opposition candidate for Canal Commissioner, and cheated out of his election by the gross frauds in Philadelphia. He is now the editor of tho Lancaster Union, and has doDe yeo man's services in the good cause, for many years past. He would adorn the station, and make tin officer of ability and integrity. FINE V Ear.TAßi.Ks. —We are under obliga tions to our friend, Mr. JOHN FLEMMING. the gardener at the Springs, for a nice bunch of celery, and several very large parsnips and car j rots. Wo have never seen any vegetables so . largo and fine raised anywhere, and we have no i doubt that the celery cannot be surpassed in } the country. Mr. Flemming cannot be beaten ! as a gardener. BIBFOBB IWaUIRKR. Democratic reports say that there will not be • majority in Ike next Legislature of Illiuois in favor of Douglas for U. S. Senator. On the other bend, the Douglas meu say that the Administration intends to corrupt some of those who have been elected as frieuds of Douglas. Corruption is a two-edged sword, which sometimes cuts two ways; but Locofo co9 have uo right to complain when their own weapons are turned against them. BEDFORD FOUNDRY.— Messrs. Washabaugh & Bannon, on the 16th iust., disposed of the Bedford Foundry at public gale to Messrs. Pe ter tl. Shirts & John 11. Jordan, of this plvcc. We understand that it is the iutcntion of these gentlemen to carry it on energetically, and as they are good business men and mechanics, all having anything to do in this line with them, may bo assured that their wants will be prop erly attended to. PEOPLE'S* MEETING. A very large meeting of the peoplo's party assembled in the Court House, OD Tuesday night of last week. The meeting came to order by the appoint ment of CHARLES W. ASHCOM, Esq., of Broad top, as President; G. W. HOUSEHOLDER, Esq., of East Provi dence; JOHN E. MILLER, of Harrison; JOHN ! METZOAR, Esq , of Juniata; Capt. GEOUGE SMITH, of Bedford Tp.; FREDERICK SMITH, of Colerain; and JACOB H. WRIGHT, E-q., of St, Clair, as Vice Presidents; and Maj. Lemuel Evans, ot Broadtop; Titos L. Rea, of Bedford Tp.; and Michail B. Milter, of Harrison, as Secretaries. Hon. Francis Jordan was then called for, and responded iu a leugthy spoeeli, replete with facta, and abounding in wit and scathing sar casm. He reviewed the result of the election in each State this fail, duriug which he was in terrupted with frequent deafeniug cheers showed the causes of the prcsmt hard times, and the need of a protective) tariff, und a re duction of the present unprecedented expendi tures of the government. The President's border-ruffian course in Kansas was reviewed at length, and also the warfare which exists be tween the nduiiuistration uud Douglas. He was frequently interrupted with cheers, loud and long, aud took bis seat amidst thunders of applause. Mr. Jordan is admitted by all, botb friends and foes, to be one of speakers in the State, and he does more Lard work for the cause than any other man in thp Dis trict. The resolutions were then rend Ly R.J). 1 Barclay, Esq., and unanimously adopted, when John 11. Filler, Esq., was colled upon. He ' answered the call in a speech congratulating ' the country on tbe rceult of the recent elec tions, and brought down the house frequently by the many happy hits which he knows so well how to make. Tbe meeting was large, he enthusiasm great, ; and ali our friends left there well convinced of ; our tiiuuiph in 1860, and the redemption of the j county next fail. The following are the resolutions: Resolved, That we hail the result of the re cent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lowa, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, llti- j nois, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maine, Ver mont and Kansas, with feelings of intense gratification, us we recognise in them a wither ing rebuke of the despotism, corruption and ex travagance of the present National Adminis- ; tration. Resolved, That as citizens of the Keystone ' State, we have especial cause for rejoicing in j the late result, as it affords us the cheering | hope that the great industrial interests of our State, which have been so long prostrate under : tbe cruel free-trade policy of tbe sham-De mocracy, will obtain at last the full measure of protection which they deserve. Resolved , That iu the midst of our rej >ie iugs, wo cannot forget to make fittiog ackuowl- | edgemeors of the eminent services rendered to the cause of Freedom and the Right, by Jobn W. Forney, Jobn Hickman, John B. Raskin, Horace Clark, and hosts of other Democrats, who could not be seduced from tbe path of hon or, neither by the caresses and blandishments of power, on tho one haod, or awed by their threats and denunciations on the other. Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt con gratulations to our sister counties of tbe Dis tiict, upon the election of Edward McPbcrsou to Congress. For the betrayal of solemn pledges to his constituents on the part of the present member, and the eager haste with which he surrendered his oft-declarsd opinion*, and gave himself up a ready instrument to as sist in fastening an odious law upon an unwil ling people, he has met witli merited cor.dem nation. Resolved , J hat this defeat of the party iu power, aud their consequent inability to con trol a majority in tbe next national House of Representatives, have put a summary and ef fectual quietus upon all the ncfatious schemes for forciug tbe lostitutiou of human slavery not upon Kansas only, but upon all our free tecritories. Resolved, That the appointment of J. Qlancy Jones to a high diplomatic station, made with such indecent haste after his defeat at tbe hauds of tbe voters of Berks county, was a flagrant iusult to that people, aud a wan ton uttaok upon the established principle which holds the representative amenable to his con stituents alone. It exhibits in the worst light tbe spirit of despotism which controls our government at Washington. Resolved, That these proceedings be pub lished iu the Bedford Inquirer. The Chester county Times says it is repot ted that Tbaddeus Stevens, after being assured of his election to Congress from the Laucaster district, in spite of all the efforts of the Pros ideDt to secure his defeat, went to tbe telegraph office and dispatched the following message : "To his Excellency, James Ruchanan : I'M COMING."

Mr. EDITOR : —ln coming from Bedford to Chaiubersburg, and thence to Gettysburg, bv stage, everything teuds to impress the mind of the traveler with the spirit of change going ou in our country. Some of our Mlow-passeu gors could tell us how uot many years ago, the road WJS lined with wagons, sometimes fifty iu a liiug, aud several lines of daiiy stages; nearly every house a tuvein, and in a flourish ing condition. Compared with those times the j road DOW looks deserted and lonely, many of the old tavern stands fallen to decay, several burned down, and never rebuilt, because there was nothing but the business of the road to call thorn into existence or keep them going.— Oiliers have been handsomely fitted up for pri vate dwellings, as is tbe case with the old Rea mer stand, on the east side of Sideling liill, now iu the ocoupauey of Dr. Scott. We spent a couple of days at Bondersville, a small town teD miles north of Gettysburg.— The people ir. that neighborhood were es busy as in harvest time, taking up oud packing fruit trees; the nursery business is carried on very extensively there. The aggregate num ber of trees now beiug cultivated iu the nurse ries near Beudersville, will probably exceed one million. They arc bought by the tree dealers, and shipped through here to the east ern and western tkores of Maryland, and dif ferent parts of "old Virgiuny," where the stu pefying influence of the "peculiar institution" has, in a great measure prevented them from raising (beir own fruit trees. Of course, there are abo large quantities sent to other parts of the country. ! The grain in Adams county looks very flour ; ishing for tbe season. The railroad is nearly : completed to Gettysburg, tho workmen laying j the track being in sight of the towu when we ; were there. Tho "Monumental City" is as healthy, and j enjoying perhapH as much peace and general : prosperity, as any of the eastern cities, not : withstanding the efforts of an unscrupulous and i malicious partizan pross to croate the irnpres i siou tbi't the American administration of Mayor Swann is little better lhau a "reign of terror." The Mayor, iu his message to the City Council, attributes the recent tragical outrages to their true cause, namely: the increased number of low drinking houses, aod a spirit of rowdy-inn fostered by tbe enemies of the administration. 1 On the 15th inst., snow fell here nearly all Jay, but melted as it fell. Since thc#-*tie wea ther has been clear and cold. Very respectfully, VANDAHA. Douglas .Nominated for President. The Democrats of Trenton, N. Jersey, friend ly to STEPHEN A. DonabAS, popular sovere ignty, a protective tariff, aod free lands, held a public meeting on Saturday night last, to re joice over the recent triumph in Illinois. A mong the resolutions sdopted was one nomina ting Mr. Douglas for the Presidency in 1860, "subject only to the popular will, as expressed through the ballot-box." An address of some length was delivered by Augustus Green, urg ing the claims of Mr. Douglas with considera ble effect. The National Era, ulloJinsj to the fact, that the tricuds of Mr. Douglas, even before the smoke of the battle had cleared up, claimed him as tbe Democratic candidate foi the Presi dency, says : "He is to ride ♦rough-shod" over all compe titors, and to receive the Charleston nomination by acclamation, as the only adequite reward of his heroic and triumphant campaign in the vin dication of 'Popular Sovereignty,' against the supporters of the •Lecoiiipton fraud and swin dle.' Wo, of course, claim no right to inter fere in the family quarrels cf the 'Democracy,' but we cannot but express our admiration in ad vance, at the spirit of forgiveness which the suggestion of a nomination of Mr. Douglas at Charleston implies. Such an event could not take place without a complete transformation of the characters of the slaveholders, trout that of proud and haughty dictators, into meek and submissive dough-faces. The old prophets, we know, have foreshowed a period when the lamb and the lion are to lie down together, and we rejoice in believing them: but our latter-day seers would haw us believe that tbe sheep are to conquer tfie wolves, and lead them can tive !" It is scarcely to be expected that the Ad ministration and its friends will abandon the war against Douglas; nor wi',l he (Douglas) treat them kindly for the unmerciful war thev tuado upou him during the past summer. The Wash ington Union, foreshadows the feelings of the Lecoiupton wing of the party agniust its oppo uenls, when it says 'Douglas' victory in Illinois was a victory, won upon a charge of fraud and delinquency of principles, ag tiun the 'DJUIOO racv.' The Washington correspondent of tbe New York Tribune writes that the tone of feeling j in Administration citcles in that city is as bit- ' ler a ever towards Douglas. The prevalent i opiuioc there is, that lie will be rejected by the Charleston Convention, and will run as an in dejtendent candidate for the Presidency, in the ; hope of throwing the election into the House of; Representatives. Hurliauau lias Stopped tlie *rens! Col John W. Forney, in his speech .at Cam- ! den, New Jersey, on tue 29'h ult., thus allu- ! ded to the President's stopping his paper, The i Press Now, gentlemen, 1 have a most inclaDcboly j announcement to make in this connection. It; is that the new-piper. The. Press, is stopped— ; my Press is stopped ! [Sensation.) 1 did not i expect, in coming here, to be compelled to j make this sorrowful announcement; but it i, , nevertheless, the fict. The Press is stopped— | not the establishment, but the single copy which the President of ihe United Slates takes —it is stopped. [Long continued shouts of laughter.) I suspect 1 shall survive it. [Renewed laugh ter.) I have DO doubt 1 shall survive it. But it was a terrible blow. I do not think that j over two cents created so much havoc before. < But we shall recover; we shall get over it.— ; And now for the bright part of tbe story: 1 | shall receive, in a few days, almost the only j dollar that 1 have ever received from the Fed- ; cral Administration—which will be about $7.50 ■ in piymcut of The Press. [Laughter.) So we see that this proscription ruus from great to suiull. It attacks a populir tribune, and i strikes down a newspaper. It turns out a postmaster, aud it refuses to pay two cents to ; an independent journal. "To mcli base nsesiuust we come at last." Thus we see the Administration of the Fed- | eral Government, presiding over thirty millions ' of people, with all its vast patronage, with all j its great power, forgetting all its duties an d ail ; its pledges, aud becoming a party to the pettv j proscriptions which village politicians would i despise, and which honorable men would laugh j at. [Applause.) DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR CON GRESS IN BERKS COUNTY. READING, Nov. 20ih.—The Democratic County Convention met here to-day to nomi nate a candidate for the scat in Conertesj made vacant by the resignation of Hon. J. Giancy Jones. There was considerable excitement in town in regard to the result. The Court House clique carried the day, tbeir • candidate, Joel B. Wanner, having been nom inated. The vote stood for Wanner 76: f.r Captain S. E. Aocona 65. The resolutions of the former Convention were reuffirtned. A resolution in favor of the admission of Kansas with a new Constitution, was voted down. The eleetiou takes place ou Tuesday, Nov. 30th. Gen. Win. 11. Iveim is a volunteer cau didate, and will receive the votes of the Inde pendent Democrats, the Tariff men and the op position generally. WILL DOUGLAS SE PRESIDENT. Tbe St. Louis Evening News does not be lieve that Douglas will he the Democratic nom inee ; it says : U c think not. Y\ e don't think he will even be nominated. His friends aud admirers, we arc aware, imagine siuce his triumph iu Illinois that lie is the autocrat of nil tbe United States, and is bound to be nominated by the Charleston Convention in 1860, when he will sweep every thing before him. We see no such rosy future before him.— Douglas will never reach the White House, because ihe politicians of tbe South will not 1"? him.. They are wilting in have him in. b Senate, because ho can le of u.-e to them there They went manageable men for President e Douglas is eminently en unmanageable Ws * with two great a love of power, and a t oj lin ' reasonable ambition to submit to the nces Sir , and wholesome restraints which hedge 11!' ; Presidency around.
