ures of the National Administration, are re

PEOPLE'S MEETING.
There will baa meeting of the People's Par
ty held in the Court House on Tuesday evening
<-f May Court, for the purpose of appointing
delegates to the People's State Convention.—
Several rpetcties will be made. All of all par
ties arc invited to attend.
Auditor General.
HON. FRANCIS JORDAN.
Wc notice that the name of this gentleman
is now prominently before tbo people of this
State for the office of Auditor General. Tbo
proposed Domination has been entirely unsoli
cited by Mr. Jordan, and so far as be is con
cerned, the office is seeking the man. This is
right, and as it always ought to be. lie is one
of the ablest men in the State, and would make
cn honest and tfiieioDt Auditor Geueral, and
ono that would be ac houor to the State. It
is highly important that the opposition, now
that they ate in the nscendancy in this State,
should bring out their most popular and first
class men. Let him be the nominoe, and he
will be elected by a rousing majority, and se
cure the State next fall for the opposition can
didate for the Presidency beyond tbe pcral
venture of a doubt.
From the Franklin Repository and Transcript.
WHO SHALL BE OUIt CANDIDATES?
A call has been issued for the assembling of
the People's Nominating State Convention, in
Jlarrisburg, on tbe Bth of June next, for tbe
purpose of selecting candidates, for Auditor
General and for Surveyor Geueral, to Le sup
ported by the OppOMtion of Pennsylvania.
The question naturally arises, who shall bo
our candidates for these important positions? -
who shall be our standard Oearers m the con
flict? Our cause is a noble one—The People
vs. Oppression, or Freedom vs. Slavery—and
our leaders should be worthy of tbe cause.—
Tbo difficulty that will be experienced will be
to make the best seleotion from the many good
and true uien tint have beeu named for these
positions, cither of whom would make a leader
fitted for the position for which ho has been des
ignated.
While we do not object to others, wo will
take the liberty of suggesting tbo name of
Hon. F. Jordan, of Bedford, as a gent'eman
in every way worthy of tbe nomination as the
People's candidate fortheoffi-e of Auditor
General. His career as u State Senator, his
location in the State, his unswerving devotion
to the principles of the People's cause, all poiut
him out as the man for tbo occasion and for tbe
position. Give us Jordan for Auditor Gene
ral; bis name would be hailed with loud ac
olaim, which would reverberate through the
mountains and rallies of Western and South
ern Pennsylvania, and inspire with still greater
ardor tbe hosts of Freedom.
Gen, Wm. 11. Keiui, of Berk?, would be the
mm for Surveyor General. No mire accepta
ble or available nun could be selected. Hav
ing but recently led tue Opposition triumphant
ly through the Gibraltar of Looofucuism in
l'tiiiuflylnvatiia, his selection as the other candi
date is so clearly indicated bv the index of
victory, that bo who runs uny read.
Then give us Jordan aud Kciin, and with the
People's banner waving o'er us, n glorious tri
umph is sure to follow the struggle in Pennsyl
vania
From the Gettysburg Star.
AUDITOR GENERAL
The Cbambersburg Repository of this week
urges the nomination of Francis Jordan, Esq ,
of Bedtord, as the People's candidate for Au
ditor General. Mr. Jordan is one of the best
men in the State, and his nomination, with
Gen. Keim, of Berks, for Surveyor General,
would make a strong ticket. Mr. Jordan is an
excellent lawyer, of much butfincss capacity,
ond besides is industrious in habits and pure in
character. He would make a firsir.ate officer.
Hertford Rail Road.
Our readers will notice in this week's paper
an advertisement for the letting of the Bedford
Railroad from Hope wed Ito Bloody Run. It is
pretty certain thai at'least tbis much of the
road Will to made' for which the President of
the Company, will receive the thanks of the
people of the County. We will then have only
eight miles of good turnpike road to Bedford.
That another monument, like the Plank Road,
at that place, may be erected to the memory of
certain parti'-s, all would deplore, and WP hope
that it may not be accomplished. We also
hope that by Laving it stop there ar.d the bu
siness of Bedford Borough and Township, and
the whole western part of the County, being
transferred to Bloody Hun,' may not injure
that part of the county, but ihnrc to the benefit
of all. So mote it be.
We publish, as an answer, ia part, to the
hypocritical article in the last Gazette, on the
continuance of hard times in Pennsylvania,
the following from the Ilarrisburg Telegraph.
It will be seen by it that Mr. WILLIAM P.
SCHELL and the other Locofocos of the Senate
care not a baubee for the suffering tax-payers
of Pennsylvania. Here was a fine opportuni
ty to lessen our burthens, but Mr. Scheli and
his brother Locofocos cared more for the S2OO
extra pay than they di d for the people, and
consequently they continue our high taxes. —
Freemen of Bedford Ooonty remember these
things :
REDUCTION OF STATE TAX.
The people of the State will le surprised to
learn that the bill passed by the Republican
Mouse, reducing tbe State tux to two mills on
the dollar, was smothered by the finance com
mittee of the Locofoco Senate, and consequent
ly failed to become a law. Knowing the meas
ure to be a popular one—that it would be en
dorsed with great cordiality and unanimity by
the taxpayers of all parties in the Common
wealth—and make capitul for the Opposition,
with whom it originated, ana by whom it was
earnestly and ably advocated and carried
through the House— tho Locofoco Senate per
r :, *ed it to die quietly in committee, and thus
crush the hopes and disappoint the expecta
tions of the tax oppressed people of the State.
For the failure of the measure, therefore, the
Locofoco party is responsible, and tbe people
should, as we have no doubt they will, speak
out emphatically in condemnation of that party
at the next October election The Locofoco
members were afraid to ehow their hands
against a measure so important and popular,
and voted for it with the understanding that
tbe bill was to be quietly strangled by the
Senate committee.
HARRISON TOWNSHIP TRIUMPH!
It will be remembered that at the election in
March, iu Harrison Township, David Millet,
Esq., and Mr. Devore were a lie. At tho spe
cial election held in that Township on last Fri
day, Squire Miller teals Devore from fifteen to
iwenly! Redford Couuty is coming right!

THE SICK EES Till 41..
The Sickles trial ended on Tuesday last, in
the acquittal of Mr. Sickles. We have pur
posely abstained from publishing tho proceed
ings in this disgusting case. A friend sent us
the followiug dispatch dated
PHILADELPHIA, April 26,1559.
The Sickles case was submitted to the jury
this afternoon—who after an absence of ono
hour returned and gave a verdict of not guUly.
The following articles are from the Hunting
don Globe, the Democratic organ of Hunting
don County:
The Washington Union has again changed
hands, and the name dropped tio give place to
that of "The Constitution." If the owners of
tbe paper would name it " The Lecomplon Con
stitutionthe people would have at first sight
the true character of the concern. Geo. W.
Bowman, Pointer editor of the Bedford Gazette
but now superintendent ot public printing at
Washington, the geuilemun, woo, last fall in
structed the readers of the Gazette to defeat
Porter for Supreme Judge, if he failed to en
dorse fully the Lecomptou platform, has been
placed in the editorial cuair to give tbe "Con
stitution" political character. This is bringing
very sin ill potatoes to market, as Bowman has
never been rated higher than a very common
country editor. Just think of it—Bowman,
editor of the President's organ!
Wbat does ii mean? Since Geo. W. Bowman
has become the organ grinder for President
Buchanan, the motto, "The Union must rind
shall be preserved," has been stricken down
from the head of the organ.
SPEECH OF HON. JUHN HICKMAN.—We
call attention of readers to tbo speech of Hou.
John Hickman, the anti-Lecompton Democratic
member of Congress from the Delaware Countv
District. It is pretty sevoro on the adminis
tration, and will repay an attcutive persuul.
THE ODD FELLOWS had a procession on
Tuesday. It was quite afailute. Only a few
turned out. Dr. liickok delivered an address
in the Methodist Church, where from 30 to 40
Old Fellows were ia attendance.
See the advertisement of Messrs. J. M.
Shoemaker k Co. They have a large and
splendid assortment of Spring and Summer
Goods, which tbey offer at the lowest prices.
Our friend, Capt. W. W. Sellers, the able
editor of the Fulton R'publican , made us a
flying visit on Monday last. Next time we
hope he may stay longer.
We call attention to the advertisement of
Messrs. Oster & Caru, in today's paper. Their
stock of goods are among the best ever brought
to Bedford. Call and see them.
AUCTION.—Mrs. Peugh will offer on Monday
next her whole stock of Fancy and Dry Goods,
at publid auction. See her advertisement in

AXTI-M3COJWPTOS DEMOCRATIC
tONTRITIOiV
A Convention of (he auii-Lecooipton Dem
ocrats of the State was held last week iu liar
risburg. We alluded briefly in our last nam
ber to its proceedings.
The Convention was large, harmonious and
entusiastic. Hoc. John Hickman, ot Chester,
made a brilliant speech, which we publi-h and
for which we ask attentive perusal. It is bit
terly denunciatory of the Buchanan Adminis
tration, aud contains many wholesome truths.
Mr. Alexander MoKinney was the perma
nent President In taking the chair, he said
he was proud to be elected Presideut over such
rebels as were tbero assembled, hut that he
would assist in re-organizing the Democratic
party and orect some such platform as WHS erect
ed at Cincinnati, aud after its erection Mr.
Buchanan might, after due repentance, returo
and rejoin the true Democratic party.
Of tbe resolutions adopted.
The first declares against any attempt to
woaken or overthrow the creed of the Demo
cratic party, which should be restored in all its
vigor and purity.
The second declares waim attachment to the
union of the States.
The third says that the general Administra
tion has forfeited the confidence of the people,
and is denounced as unworthy of the support of
the Dciuocratio party.
The forth re-cudorses the covenant made in
1856, in favor of the right of the people of the
Territories to decide for themselves, whether
Slavery should or should not exist within their
limits.
The fifth denouuaes the General Adminis
tration lor its disregard of this covenant, aud
the remorseless war of Federal power upon State
Sovereignty.
1 he sixth re-asserts and re-endorses the great
principle of popular sovereignty aud coo-niter
vention.
The seventh, eight, ninth,thirteenth and four
teenth rn-iterates this opinion in various shapes.
The tenth opposes the re-opening of tbe-Afri
ftan Slave Trade, as the adoptiuu of a Slave
trade for the Territories by tho action of Con
gress.
'1 he eleventh express a jealousy of the cor
lupting influence of Federal power.
The IwJJth opposes alike Northern aud South
eru Disunionists, regarding thorn as National
allies.
The fifteenth opposes the acquisition of Cuba
unless it can be obtained by such fair and iiou
orablc means as will be con-isteut with the dig
nity and fame of tiie Republic.
The sixteenth declares for a Tariff which will
permanently protect the labor aud industry of
the couuiry.
1 he seventeenth endorses Gov. Fucker's hon
est and careful guardianship of the iuterests of
the people, and condemns the attempt of the
bederal Administration to defame his private
and public character.
The eighteenth highly compliments Senator
Douglas.
The nineteenth earnesfly invites the co-oper
ation of Democrats in all the States of the Union
in the great organized movement inaugurated
at the State capitol of Pennsylvania this day.
The twentieth recommends the appnittiucul
of a Democratic State Committee' of 56 mem
bers, to whom is referred tbe question of nom
inating a Democratic State Ticket, and calling
a Democratic State Convention at ihe earliest
possible day.
Accompanying these resolutions was an eleb
orato address, which was signed by every uicrn
ber of ihe coinuiiitHO ou resolutions ar.d adopt
ed by the Convention, uiuiu tremendous and
deafening applause.
Judge Knox,Attorney General,made a speech
endorsing that portion of the resolutions which
repudiates the Ticket nominated by the office
holders' Convention, and said that these can
didates should look for election to the friends
of the Federal Administration.
Campbell, of Huntingdon, lleddiek, of Fay
ette, Cant well, of Armstrong, Nebingcr, of
Philadelphia, W iugert, of Allegheny, N'orthrup,
and others addressed the Convention, after
which and the transaction of some important
: business, the body adjourned.

rORNET s Press informs us that Gen. Bow

was once editor of the Bedford IV, Gazette,
whinb was principally distinguished while he
managed it by a *'wood cut ot a rooster two

' Dient ou all important occasions.

Bowman, alias cold cow-heels, Ab. Gorilla, &c.
We were surprised to see his retention as the

; THE DEMO :iIATIC STATE CONVEN
TION.
In our last issue, we stated that wt would
! attend the Democratic State Convention on the
13 b, as a looker OD, and approre rr distp
| prove of its proceedings, as we might think
! most consistent, with an honest purpose of sus
j t iiuing true Democratic principles and the bon
jor of our party. From the first moment of the
| organization of the Convention to its final ad
journment, we wero in attendance, and we know
we spenk the truth, wbeu we say a more able,
honest, enthusiastic, harmonious and thorough
ly Democratic Convention never assembled in
tbe State. Hundreds of true, tried and de.er- ;
mined Democrats were theie. Tbe proceed- j
ings, a part of which we give to eur readers to- j
duy. will be read witb interest. The Address 1
will be published in our next—it is some col- i
un.ns in length, but should be, and will be, !
read by every man who takes the least ioterest
in the political affuirs of this great Union.—
The speech of Attorney General Knox will al
so be published—it is a triumphant vindica
tion of Gov. Backer from the false charges
made by tbe tools of President Buchanan.
Democrats of Huntingdon county, we know
that many of you feel inclined to sustain the
action of the first Convention—not because you
approve the prescriptive and disorganizing
spirit of that body, but because it wus the "reg
ular" Convention. Wo must be frank in giv
ing you to understand thut wc eannot defend a
wrong, no matter how high the powers com
mitting it. Aud as President Puchanau has
commanded, through hia office holders and
those under their control, that the great Demo
cratic musses fall down and worship his politi
cal errors, we, as an independent Democrat,
cannot do otherwise than defend the position
taken by the honest masses of our partv, and
denounce the tyranny of the President and bis
servile sucophants, whose Democracy has ever
been the almighty dollar.
We have taken our position, and have deter
mined to adhere to it, and defend it, no matter
what may be the pecuniary loss wc may sus
tain by doing so. If we fail to convince all
onr patrons of the great wrong the President
and his office-holding adherents have inflicted
upou the once indomitable Democratic partv,
it shall not be through fear of the threats of
ihe unprincipled politicians who would rather
serve man than be a consistent Democrat. Wc
shall not ask fjr quarters at the hands of uieu
who can justify the political treachery and tyr
anny of Mr. Buchanan—aud we shall look for
none.
MOKE ELECTION FRAUDS.
A series of disgraceful frauds upon the suf
frage, committed ia Maine, at the last Septem
ber election, have just been officially exposed.
They resemblo in character aud rival in ini
quity those which were perpetrated iu Kansas,
lu lianoook plantation 165 illegal votes were
given, and the residence of 125 persons, whose
names are returned as having voted, could not
be found. Large sums of money were expend
ed in all these plantations, and paid direct to
the voters at so much per head. Liquor was
freely supplied, and at the polls in llaucock
plantation great numbers of the voters were
drunk, and sonro of them stripped themselves
to the skin and capered about iu sight of the
women and children. All the Republican vo
ters were driven from the polls aud their lives
threatened. In Hancock, Mr. Dickey, a cus
tom Ilousc officer, examined the vo'es aud ar
ranged them to his liking. In Mudwaska, a
Cistern House officer, stood all day over the
ballot box, counted and declared the votes.—
In Van Buren tho voters were expelled from
the room while the votes were counted, and a
Mr. Hammoud, on al'en, aided in counting aud
declaring the votes. All the Democratic votes
were printed on b. :.o paper, to insure a per
formance of the contraot on the part of the
paid voteis. The legal requirements regard
ing the manner of conduct.ng elections were
flagrantly disobeyed, and the Collector of Fas
samaquoddy was himself iu the field, taking
charge of the proceedings. —Pa. Telegraph.
