MORE SL4XDERS.
A leading object of our neighbor of the Ga
zette, appears to be to so slandsr, and villify,
and misrepresent tie Americans and .Republi
cans, as to make ignorant people believe that
the opposition to sb?m democracy are made up
of abolitionists and disunionists. Not satisfied
wity lyiog about our public men and tbeir
speeches, it is in the habit of getting some ex
tracts from fanatical abolitionists, liko Wendell
Philips and Klizur Wright, who are neither
Americans nor Republicans, and never were,
and attempting to make us responsible for their
doiDgs. Of this character is an article in last
week's Gazette, under the title of "Does the
Republican Party propose to interfere with
.Slavery in the States," purporting to give the
icntimeuts of sundry persons, as contained in
•extracts from their letters aud speeahes.—
Among other alleged extracts in other Locofo
co papers, is one purporting to be from a letter
or speech of Mr. Dennison, at present the
American and Republicau candidate for Gov
ernor in Ohio. The Locofocos represent Uiui
as expressing the following sentiments: "That
be would -use the bayonet to resist the execu
tion of the Fugitive Slave Law."
The untruthfulness of this will appear by an
article, which we copy from the Baltimore
American, of the 13th September, inst.,as fol
lows:
"Mr. Dennison, the candidate for Governor
in Ohio, said, during his discussion with Mr.
llanney at Tiffin, -I will here state, incidental
ly, that the siily story about my having de
clared that I will use the bayonet to lesist the
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, is utter
ly false, and without 'he slightest foundation
in truth. So long as the law stands upon the
statute book I would not resist its execution,
but do my duty under tho Constitution.' Yet
this story has been trumpeted all over tho coun
try as a fair specimen of the eeniimeuts of
Northern men, and doubtless believed implicit
ly by nine-tenths of the deluded masses who
worship the Slaveecracy."
The Gazette is also in the habit of slander
ing Horace Greely in like manner, and charg
ing upon him tbe desire to interfere with slave
ry in the slave States. In tho article of last
week, is given what purports to be two extracts,
one from tbe Tribune, and one from .Mr. Gree
ly in some other way, a3 follows:
"The time is fast approaching when the cry
will become too overpowering to resist.—
RATHER THAN TOLERATE NATIONAL SLAVERY
AS IT NOW EXISTS, LET THE UJYION BE
DISSOLVED JIT OJTCE, AND THEN THE
HN OF SLAVERY WILL REST WHERE IT OK
LONGS."—JV. Y. Tribune.
"I HAVE NO DOUBT BUT THE FREE AND
SLAVE STATES OCGHT TO BE SEPARATED. *
THE UNION IS NOT WORTH SUPPORTING IN
-CONNEXION WITH TIIE SOUTH."— Horace Gree
ly-
Now the utter want of all truth and fairness
in tbe extracts just copied above, and all simi
lar charges, can tie made apparent from the fol
lowing extract from a speeeh delivered by
Horace Greely in California, on the 6th of Au
gust, last, at a Republican meeting. Mr.
Greely, in talking about tbe Republican party,
4J which he belongs said:
"I will say, in the first place, that though it
•'is a new party, it presonts no now principle or
•'motive to action. It demands that the policy
"traced out by the fathers of this American
"Union for the government of this Union,
"should to-day be recognized and pursued by
"the rulers of the nation. That is its demand.
"It has no new doctrine to teach respecting
"slavery, liberty or aoy other question wbat
. "ever. Its positiou is a cjascrvative one. It
"attacks DO rights: it wars upon no establish- ]
"ed institution. It says simply that where the j
•'earth has hitherto been free to any man to
••labor on, and has not been polluted by the
"tread of cbattolized negro slaves, that there
"freedom shall bo the law of labor, and slave
"ry shall be inflicted only for crime. Such
"was Jefferson's principle enunciated and fortn
"ed into a bill intended to be a basis of law in
"1784. Such was the principle adopted by
"the Congress of 1787, and re-affirmcd by that
"of 1789. On that principle the Republican
*'party plants itself, and asks to go no fur
"ther. It wars not on S/avtry in the States,
"though any republican, as 1 trust all coosid
"erate men must, regrets that slavory exists in
"any American State—deeply regrets it, and
"desires that it should come to an end. We
"have just the same right to remonstrate
"against slavery in V rgiuia, as inteiupcrknee
"or any other evil, Rut, we have no power to
"lessen or affect its existence there. We claim
"Mo/te, and desire none. We desire ODly that
'"the common Territories of this Union, as they
"were won by arius ; bought by the blood, and
"puichased by the treasure of freemen, shall re
'main free—their free soil to be the homes and
"nursing places of frcemco, to the end of
"time."
Suoh are the principles of Horace Grcely,
as plainly aDd clearly set forth by himself, and
published before the world. There is no dis
union in them, no abolitiou in them, and no
sentiment which can, except by wilful perver
sion, be tortured iuto anything objectionable,—
except to those who desire to spread slavery
over territories now free. They are simply the
old doctrines of the non-extension of slavery,
as advocated by Clay and Webster all their
lives.
Did space permit, we might go over the
whole array of extracts in the last week's Ga
zette, and show that they are all false, and as
libellous as those in relation to Messrs. Denni
son and Greely— except, perhaps, as to the ab
olitionists named, who do not, and never did,
beloDg to cither the American or Republican
parties.
(*eo. Vi . Williams and liis Slanderers!
We Lave so often refuted the lies of the Lo
cofocos, and explained the vote of Mr. Wil
liams on the bill in relation to the intermarriage
of the whites aud black*, that we hardly deem
it necessary to say any thing further in rela
tion to it, but the Gazette's persistent efforts
to misrepresent him, probably, renders it ne
cessary.
The bill is in the following word; :
SECTION 1. Beit enacted, by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Commonwealth
oj Pennsylvania in General Assembly met and
it is hereby enact J by the authority of the same,
That from and after the passage of 'Lis act, it
shall be uulawful for any black, colo, td or yet.
low man to marry a white woman, or black
colored or yellow woman to marry a white man.
SEC. 2. That any person or presons who shall
marry in this Commonwealth contrary to the
first section of this act, and any justice of the
peace, alderman, clergyman, minister or other
person, who shall join in marriage any person
contrary to this act, and every person who shall
be present at such marriage, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor ; and shall upon con
viction thereof in any court of quarter sessions
having jurisdiction thereof, be fined at the dis
cretion of said court any sum not exceeding
five hundred dollars; which shall go, ono half
to the prosecutor, aud the other half to such
county as may have jurisdiction of this case :
aod shall bo imprisoned in the county jut! of
such county any time not exceeding one year.
To show that this was not a party question
we will insert the Dames of tho Locofocos who
voted for the postponement of the bill, along
with Mr. Williams. They are Messrs, Custer,
Dismant, Galley, Goepp, Hill, Nill, Quigloy,
Roher, Stoncbeck, Warden* Wilcox, Wolf and
Woodnng—l3 ! —Those who voted against the
postponement, were Messrs. Bertolef, Boyer,
(Clearfield,) Fleming, Ulatz, Gray, Quitman,
llottcnstine, Jackson, Laird, Oaks, Shields,
Smith, (Berks,) aud Stuart—l 3 !
This is the vote for which Mr. Williams is
censured by the Locofocos of this CouDty. It
was not a party measure at all, as is clear from
the votes of the Locofoco members upon the
same question —l3, one half, voted as did Mr.
Williams, and 13, one half, voted differently.
If the bill was a party measure, why did not
all the Locofocos, or at least a majority of them
vote against it 1 The votes of the Locof; cos,
themselves, then, clearly shows that there must
have been some henest difference about it, aud
that it was not looked upon as a party question.
Besides, the loading Democrats of the House,
Messrs. Nill, Goepp, Quigley and others, vo
ted like Mr. Williams. Their reasons were the
same as Mr. Williams'. To sea the absurdity
of the law, it is only ueccssary to read it as
above. According to its provisions, it is unlaw
ful for a wbito person to mary a colored or yel
low person, although the colored or yellow person
may not haw one drop of negro blood in his
veins It is well known that many persons of
purely white blood have rather a dark skin,
and yet bow absurd to prevent their marriages,
as this hill would have done, by fine and im
prisonment. MR. WILLIAMS IS OPPOSED
AS MUCII AS ANT ONE TO WHITES
AND NEGROES INTERMARRYING, but
to seoure his vote as well as a great many others,
Democrats and Opposition, the bill should have
been gotten up in different style. Mr. Nill,
Goepp, and. other Democrats, along with Mr.
Williams, honestly believed the bill unconsti
tutional, and having sworn to support to con
stitution, regard for their oaths, compelled
theiu to vote as they did. Others who voted
for the bill, (for in fact the vote on the post
ponement was the test vote on this matter,)
might have honestly differed with Mr. Nill,
Goepp and Williams, and wo do not fault them
for their votes.
BEBFOEB MMMM.
Another principle objection of Mr. Williams I
to the bill, and one which in fact helped much j
to defeat if, and very justly too, is that part
which says: "Every person who shall be pres
ent at such marriage, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor;and shall upon convictios thereof
in any ceurt of quarter sessions having juris
diction thereof, be FINED at the discretion o*
said court auy sum not exoeeding FIVE HUN
DRED DOLLARS," "and sbuil be IMPRIS
ONED in the county jail of said county any
time not exceeding ONE I!EAR !" How ri
diculous and unjust! According to this pro
vision an innocent person can be fined FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS AND BE IMPRIS
ONED ONE YEAR by simply beiug present
at a wedding of "his kind MY ACCIDENT !
Who would like,suppose they went to Church,
to a public or private house, along the highway,
or anywhere else, where a wedding of this kind
was going on, to he fined five hundred dollars
and be imprisoned one year, yet by the provis
ions of this act, he could be so punished, no
matter whether he knew ttiat suoh wedding was
going on or not !
With such faults to a 1 ill, can Mr. Williams
be censured for vot.isg as he did. Let this
question be properly ndeistood and Mr. Wil"
liams will not lose a vote on account of it in
Bedford or Somerset Counties.
HISTORICAL.
It is sometimes necessary to go back a few
years in history for fitting illustrations of our
every day topics of political discussion. Hu
man life, indeed, is short, but not so exceeding
ly brief, that a man cannot turn maoy summer
sets and cut many fantastic capers therein, with
a reasonable hope that they will not be notch
ed up against him. The trouble is, that the
memory hardly goes back as far as three years
in ordinary matters; and it is essential there
fore to occasionally make a review in order to
keep tho current of history smooth and unbro
ken. Esq. Nicodemus, for instance will thank
us for not permitting the public to forget the
importaut part he bore as one of the founders
of tbo late Know Nothing party, and the fact
that in leaving the party he carried the books
and office of Secretary over to the Democracy
with him. The editor of the Gazette has for
gotten a few historical truths, or imagines his
readers to have become exceedingly oblivious.
One who did uot know better would suppose
from readiug the Gazette from week to week,
that the Know Nothing party never had a more
sincere hater than the editor of that sheet.—
All those sweet and endearing epithets in the
anti-K. N. vocabulary, such as "Dark Lantern
assassins," "Thugs," "Plug Uglies," drop so
daintily from his pen that no one would* sup
pose that he had ever struck hands with his
brother under a culvert at midnight, and sworn
to vote agaiust all foreigners and Catholics for
ever. But History must be vindicated. Mr. B.
F. Meyers was one of the earliest Know Noth
ings in Somerset couunty, and was a leader so
far as ho could be trusted. He organized lodges,
and has more than once read the solemn formu
la of the order, by the aid of a dingy lantern
to a knot of novitiates, late m tho night by some
lonely road side. But to read the Gazette, no
ono would ever imagine that Mr. Meyers had
ever been a "bloody minded" Know Nothiug.
In the midst of the campaign of 1856—in
tho very shock of tho conflict—Mr. Meyers i
•uddeuly went over to the enemy. Shortly af- j
tcr his mysterious desertion, he came here from •
Somerset, on a political mission, ami iu a speech
in the Court House, he undertook to give some
reasons for his chaDge, the principal of wbiob
was that the American party had abrogated
their test against their Catholic fellow citizens !
While the great mass of the Americans opposod
this odious proscription, there were many mem
bers of the party, bigotod and intolerant, like
the editor of tbe Gazette, who would be satis
tied with nothing short of the complete uisfraa- j
chisement of all Catholics, native as woll as j
naturalized; and because they could not be
gratified, thoy left tho American partv, and '
carried with them into tho bosom of tho De
mocracy ail the malevolence and rage against
Catholics which marked them as Know Noth
ings. The American National Convention
which nominated Millard Fillmore in 1856, ad
mitted tbe Catholics from Louisiana, as dele
gates, and for that reason this intensified K.
N., Mr. Meyers, could tot voto for tho candi
date. let he is now a model Democrat, and
sets himself up to instruct people to vote
against John Taylor. He was used as a de
coy iu 1856, to allure ignorant and prejudiced
Americans from the party, because it refused
to leud itself any longer to proscription; ho
did his utmost to fan into fury the existing pre
judice against Catholics; ho refused to vote for
a candidate for President because some of the
men who nomiuated him were Catholics, and
and now Le sturdily turns about, and reads long
homilies to Catholics as to their duties as citi
zens. Impudence has touched bottom.
Poor House.
Wo asked tbe Locofoces a few weeks ago a
query in regard to the doplorable state of affairs
now existing at tho Poor House. As yet they
have not been answered. Do they not by their
silenco give consent to the questions we asked.
If this terrible condition of the poor unfortu
nates who are in that institution be correct,
should there not be a obaoge of rulers thcro?
Is it not high time that this Augeun stable
should be cleansed? Let the peoplo of Bed
ford County answer at the ballot-boxes.
General Soott has been orJered to the Island
of San.Juan, to sustain American eights there.
SI.A !S!>*:il!
There is nothing meaner or more to be de
tested than the vile spirit of slauder which is
now so rife in partizan newspapers. If a man,
no matter hov good bis character previously,
happens to be nominated, by his friends, for an
office, even if it be a small County office, his
character is blackoncd, and he is maligned and
abused to keep down his vote. We are glad,
however, that this spirit is giving way before
eulightened public opinion, but yet there is
here and there a corrupt and unprincipled
press, liko the Bedford Gazette, and they are
generally oontrollcd by base and unprincipled
men, who have only lately become converted
to the side they at present espouse. OfteD
they are mero hirelings, like the Hessians in
the Revolution, who will fight on any side tor
pay—on the samo principle as the traitor, who
always is more malignant, aud fights more bit
terly against the country he basely betrays,
than its natural enemies, for the purpose of
displaying his zeal to his uew made masters.
T.te candidates on our ticket this fall aro all
good and unexceptionable men, aad malice can
present no spccifio charges against them - , yet
the Bedford Gazette is weekly pouring upon the
heads of several of these men tho vials of its
i denunciation. We believe its party, at least
the masses of it, frown upon its course. Ali
honorable men of any party would. The ma
> jority of those ou the Locofoco ticket are good
men, yet there are some things that might be
said in regard to some of tbem that would not
sound so well. Politically, we oppose them,
and so far as their private character is concern
ed, the petty offices for which they are nainod
has nothing to do with it. This is the stand now
taken by the high-toned press of all political
shades all over tho country.
WALKER AND WILLIAMS.
By an article in the Somerset Herald and
Whig of last week, we find that our Locofncn
friends are at their old tricks. Kuowing they
have r.o chance, by any fair means, to elect ei
ther of their candidates for the Legislature,
they resort, as usual, to deception and misrepre
sentation, iu the vain hope of making a few more
votes for their candidates for tbe Legislature.
The game is this: They represent in Somerset
County that the Americans and Republicans of
Bedford County a> o going to vote for Williams
and Gump to tho prejudice of Walkor, and in
like manner they represent in this County that
the Americans and Republicans of Somerset
County are going to uo on Walker and Oof
froth, to the prejudice of Williams. In this ay
appeals are made to our friends in both counties
to desert one of,their candidates* and support
one of the Locofoco caudidates, on the ground
of County pride. This game of deception is
too old, and too well understood to deceive any
body. It was tried last fall, aud often before,
and has mo. ; signally failed in every instance.
Last fall our friends in Bedford County ran Mr.
Walker fully up with Mr. Williams; and they
will do it agaiu; and our friends in Somerset
ran Williams as they did Walker, so that wo
believe the difference in the two counties was
less than twenty votes. With the Herald and
Whiff we warn our friends in both counties
against all such deception; and feel well assur
ed that tbe game will be found to wholly fail in
its object. Justice to Somerset, aud safety for
ourselves require that we all vote for both
Walker and Williams, and we will do it.
is very important for the people of
Bedford County that there should be at least
one member of the opposition iu the Board of
Commissioners. Tbe debts of tbe County
amount to about 31C.000 or £>12.000. Elect,
tbeu, an opposition member iu each nf the Boards
of Commissioners and Poor Directors. John
B. Miller, our candidate for Commissioner, and
Samuel Shafcr, our candidate for Poor Direc
tor, are both excellent men, and all who favor
their own interests will vote for them.
ARE YOU ASSESSED ?
We again ask thin important question of eve
ry p iitical friend in the County who expects
to vote at the comiDg election. To secure your
vote, this must be attended to on or before the
first day of October next. Bear in mind also
that it is the assessor who was elected iu the
Spring of 1858, and not last spring, who can
legally mako the necessary assessment.
THAT FORGERY !
The Gazette some timo ago charged us with
forgery. We proved that we were correct, by
referring that paper to page 599 of House Jour
al of last winter. By its silence it admits that
it lied, and that it was itself that was guilty of
forgery! Nobody of sense, however, believes,
anything that appears in that corrupt slime
pool.
We call attention to the letter of Horace
Greely, on the outside of to-day's paper, iu re
lation to the Army in Utah. It shows how the
Government is systamatically plundered by
Federal officers of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Head it, and hand the paper to your
neighbor.
The public examination of teachers for Bed
ford Borough, and Bedford Towuship, will take
place on to-day and to-morrow, (Friday and

terian church; beginning at 9 o'clock A. M. of
each day. The public are invited to attend.
James Gordon Bennett, editor of the New
Fork Herald, is talked ot as the Democratic
candidato for Mayor of New York
Have you Heard the Stun from
Maine ? Ail Honest and True.
Such were the exclamations during the
memorable Harrison Campaign, of which we
were reminded very forcibly a day or two since
when the first election returns were received
from that noble little State. At that time the
election news was scattered all over the UuioD,
but since a few looofoco managers have charge
of the Magnetic Telegraph lines the bare an
nouncement is made that it is very probable
that the State has again been carried by the
Opposition ranks, when in point of fact there
is scarcely a vestige of locofocoism left in the
gallant granite State. The American Repub
lican governor is elected by TEN thonsund
majority, and out of thirty-one senators elected
this year the locofocos have elected the im
mense number of ONE; such has also been the
result IU the little Yankee State, Connecticut,
but the news has been coming so slow over the
Telegraph wires that it has almost been for
gotten.
Americans and Republicans, such has been the
glorious result in your sister States; and we hope
that you will follow their example on the sec
ond Tuesday of October next. The news from
all parts of the State assures us that victory is
certain: but we roust not rciy on this too much,
but go to work aud briug a full vo ; o to the polls,
and if that is done our victory will be equal to
those achieved iu Maine and Connecticut.
Iu 1858, (about a year since,) that paper
(Somerset Democrat.) charged ou Gen. Coffroth,
that be was "An ambitious aud reckless young
man whose vanity outstrips his discretion," with
being an "ASS"' whose treachery 1 would 'sink
him into political oblivion," with having 'vio
lated every promise made us,'' and with haviug
"played the knave with us once, and never shall
do so again;" moreover it twitted hiui with be
ing a "dead cock in the pit who had gaffed him
self' aud who had forfeited his political reputa
tion and made himself odious to the party."—
Not content with all this personal denunciation
it even charged him with being "in collusion
with the Know JYothings, the tool and catspaw
of Scull £? C 0.," with attempting "to divide
and distract the party through excess of vani
ty," and fiually it read him out of the ranks,
as " guilty of infidelity and treason to parly
and treachery to friends," ns one who is "po
litically damned to all intents and purposes,"

THE LATE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.—
Where can Mr. Buchanan look for consolation?
The States have all repudiated him, even to
Oregou. Texas has elected Houston Governor,
in opposition to the Administration candidate.
Keuiucky had two Opposition members in the
last Congress. To the next she elected five,
half the delegation. Tennessee bad only
three Opposition members out of ten in the
last Congress, uow the figures aro rev rsed,
th 6 Opposition electing seven and the Democ
racy but three. Noith Carolina has increased
from two to five, one half the delegation.—
Virginia had a united and sound !min; Ira
tion delegation in the las; Congress—now one
is avowed Opposition, and the balance shaky
oa Buchanan. Thus blow has followed blow
from all quarters, Lecoiupton bc'ag the sledge
hammer which has shivered Buchanan Dem:-
craey to splinters.
IS SAM HOUSTON A DEMOCRAT ?
Senator Green—or at least Senator Green's
organ, the Canton (111.) Reporter, dou't like
Saui Houston, if he is elected Governor of Tex
as. The Reporter thus displays, in a compori
.-i us form, the old veteran's sin?:
"What Democrats, or at least men vrho call
themselves Democrats, can see in Sam Hous
ton to entitk him to the name of Democrat we
can't divine. He opposed the Kansas Nebras
ka bill—fought Gen. Pierce's Administration
approved of faotion in the Democratic party
belongs to the Know Nothings—wars on Bu
chanan's Administration - bolted a Democratic
nomination, aud does not endorse the Demo
cratic party or its platform. He's no Dr ;o
erat for us. A friend at our elbow says mure
are better Democrats in We don't know
certainly there are no worse.
AFRAID OF THE DOCUMENTS. —We learn
by telegraph from Washington, that the Ad
ministration has given orders that documents
issued by the Republican National Committee,
and mailed under the frauk of Hon. John Co
vode, and other Republican members of Con
gress, shall not be sent through the mails.—
The cowardly rascals! Wben it is remember
ed that the pimp of J. D., the notorious Beef
Bigler, and others of his stripe, 'nave been fil
ling the mails with documents of all kinds,
suited to the taste of the powers that be, with
out any interference, this outrage will have a
double significance. Let tbem go on. There
is a day of retribution approaching, wben these
gentry will feel the might that slumbers in a
freeman's ballot.— Gettysburg Star.
The Administration are a good deal exercis
ed in regard to the proseut aspect of affairs
Stowing out of the seizure of the Island of San
Juan. They are fearful that a collision will
take place before despatches, which were re
cently transmitted, cau reach Gen. Harney.—
Washington News Items.
There is no doubt great anxiety at the White
House to prevent anything being done "that
might cause an unfavorable impression in Eng
land." The despatches to Gen. Harney most
probably iustruct him not to tight, even if he
and the rest of the Americans be kicked out of
the Island. This is the course usually pursued
by the Administration to prevent a rupture with
England.
The Douglas men have been out-generalcd in
Wisconsin; where it is supposed the "Little Gi
ant" is stronger than he is in any State out side
of Illinois. The Milwaukee Wisconsin,a ueu
tral paper, thus tells the story in brief:
"Tbe democratic State Convention postponed
the appointment of delegates to Charleston to a
State Convention, to be held on the 28d of Feb
ruary. This a decisive triumph of the Soyuiour
and Administration interests, over the Douglas
partisaus. The postponement was carried by a
close vote. The Douglas men feel very sore
over the result."
Bennett, of the New York Herald, calls for
"light and air." He has no business with ei
ther. If the light is let upon him, he shuts
his eyes against it, and if the air breathes on
him he pollutes it..— Prentice.

M'LANE'S VERMIFUGE IN TEXIJT
Hear what the proprietor of the "STAR lIOTF.L"
has to say of the wonderful effects of M' Lane's Ver
mifuge :
'STAR HOTEL,' CrjiTEaviLLE, TEXAS, Aug. It, '54.
MESSRS. FLEMING BROS.
I feel it my duty to make the following state
ment : Several of my children have been unwell for
the last week or two. I called at the 'Bio MORTAR'
to get some Oil of Wormseed and other truck, to
give them for worms. The Druggist recommended
M'Loite's Vermifuge, prepared by you, but having
herctolore, tried every Vermifuge, in my knowing,
without advantage, I told Lim it was not worth
while, as my children appeared proof against them
all. He said take a bottle, ana offered if it doLe
no good to refund the money. To itlsfy him I
done so, and the effect was so much better than ex
pected that I got another boitle, and the result wss
most astonishing. Three of my children discharg
ed a great number of the largest worms I ever saw.
To a young man, my Mail Carrier, who was weak,
puny an 1 poor as a snake, for a month or so, I gave
two doses, which brought from him at least a pint
of what is called stomach worms! Strange as this
may appear, yet it is as " true as preaching How
the boy stood it, so long as he did, with ten thou
sand "BOTS" gnawing at his stomach, is the greatest
wonder to me. All these cases are now doing well,
No doubt the live* of thousands of children have
been saved by the timely use of this extraordinary
medicine. Don't tail to give it a trial.

MARHIED.
On the 11th inst., by the Rev. Sam'l Ting
ling, Mr. WILLIAM SIMPSON, to Miss ELLEN
LKARY, all of Bedford tp.

sidence of the groom's father, by Abrm. H.

to Miss EVE ALDSTAPT of St. Clair tp
JOIEP.
On the 7th inst., Mrs. ANN BOWLES, in the
S2d year of her age.
She was born ia Laucaster County, Pa.,
Sept. 17, 1777, and her age lacked but 10 days
of S2 full years. A life so prolonged could
not pass without many trials; but it was mark,
ed, beyond what is usual, peihaps, by God's
bounties. Gifted with unwonted physical
health and vigor, and endowed with a calm and
peaceful spirit, she was conducted to extreme
old age, with scarce a trace of that decay,
which commonly prepares us for the tomb. A
tall, commanding figure, and a face majestic,
yet placid, benign, gave no mournful expres
sion of years long past, or dissolution near at
hand.
A week before her death, the ruddy hue of
life bad not yet faded from her cheek, aud even
death itseif left no sad ravage there. It seem
almost as if her Saviour God had redeemed
her ransomed body, as well as her immortal
spirit, from the power of the grave. She made
a good eoufession of that Saviour many years
and before many witnesses. She loved, on inr
sick bed, to talk of God's goodness and cove
nant faithfulness. She magnified bis ways and
dealings with her, adored his counsels, rejoiced
in bis salvation, and humbly submitted to his
will. She was a worthy member of the PreF
byterian church of Bedford. Her absent Pas
toi will miss her venerable form from among
bis people, her devoted family will mourn that
truo-hearted mother, whose mild face was ever
to them as a present blessing, tho light-hearted
youth and tho strong-hearted una will often
bedew the bronzed cheek with the gushing tears
of a son, as ho remembers such a mother; but
to them wo say, uiouru not bitterly ! for God
has taken her 10 himself; and you, if you are
faithful, shall follow her there.
Oa thu 14th uit., at the residence of her
aon, in Bloody Run, Mrs. ANNA BARNDOLLAR,
aged 82 years and D months.
On tho 14ih inst , Miss ELIZA ADAMS,
aged 41 years.
