PHaL.IUCL.PUIA ELECTION-
Four years ago, iu die opening of the Pre
sidential cauvass of 185G, Philadelphia—which
had previously been Opposition—elected a
Democratic Mayor (Richard Vaux) by the de
cisive majority of 8,873, choosing a Democrat
ic Municipality throughout. That result paved
the way for the operations whereby the (Jity
was carried largely for Buchanan over all op
ponents in the ensuing State, and overwhelm
iugly in the Presidential Election. Mr. Bu
chanan's vote was thon, by gigantic and com
plicated frauds, carried up to 38,225—-some
5,000 more than had ever before bean polled
for any party —against 7,993 for Fremont, and
24,084 for Fillmore. Buchanan's declared
majority was thus 6,145 over all opponents;
while in the whole State—Philadelphia included
—he had but 607 majority—not a tithe of that
counted for him iu tho City. Aud now the
Opposition have carried the City on a very
heavy vote, electing their Mayor by 886 ma
jority, with a preponderance in the Councils.—
This is a very happy eugury for the pending
Presidential contest.
The gain to the side of Right is not limited
to that above exhibited in the relative vote. —
Tho Opposition in Philadelphia are no leuger
discordant, jealous, repellanf, but harmonious,
it' not absolutely homogeneous, and determined
not to be divided and defeated in the great
struggle before us. Their triumph on Tuesday
will powerfully contribute to that which, we
trust, awaits us io the November Election.
All the city officers of the People's party
were elected, the Mayor by a Majority of 886,
Solicitor by 1658, Controller 132, Receiver of
Taxes 1186, and Commissioner 1742. Making
an average majority of over 1100 ! This is a
glorious result, and insures the success of the
People's Party in Pennsylvania next fall by
50,000. Lot all those who desire the salvation
of the country join the people's ranks and
take part in tho glorious victory which awaits
us next fall.
ELECTION OF CO. SUPERINTENDENT.
On Monday last, the School Direetors of
Bedford County, according to law, assembled
in the Court House, for tho purpose 0? elect
ing a Couuty Superintendent. There were
101 Directors present; only 19 absentees.—
The whole number in the Couuty is 120—
Southampton having no Directors and no
.schools. Necessary to a choice, 51. On the
first ballot, Rev. Geo. Sigafoos had 49 votes,
Rov. H. lleckerman 22, Mr. Fluke 15, Rev.
Mr. Gilds 11, and Mr. Durborrow 4. Second
ballot, Sigafoos had 07, Heckennan 20, Fluke
5, and Gilds 3. Mr. Sigafoos was thereupon

CHICAGO CONVENTION.—The Cfcioago Cons
vention will convene on Wednesday, the 10th
of this month, to nominate a candidate for the
Presidency and the Vice Presidency. Tho
candidates for nomination are Messrs. Seward,
Cameron, Bates, Lincoln, Chase, Wade, Fre
mont, Read and M'Lean. Who will be suc
cessful is hard to toll. Let the Convention
meet in a spirit of harmony, concession, and
determined to do tbe best for success. If this
is done, there can be no fears in regard to tbe
result. The People's Party will most assured
ly triumph if we get a good ticket.
Our friend Wm. A. Ogle, Esq., one of tho
editors of the Somerset Whig, and ex-Sheriff
Swope of Somerset, paid our town a brief visit
.last week. They are both clever fellows and
uipalyented buggers."
CHARLESTON CONVENTION.
We publish in our columns to-day, several
articles in relation to the Locofoco Convention
at Charleston. After being in session some
ten days, and having a great deal of wrang
ling about a Platform and candidates for Pre
sident, they had to adjourn to meet at Balti
more on the 18th of June, without making a
nomination. This is indeed humiliating; the
once proud and haughty Democracy had to ad
journ, and confess to the world its own weak
ness and utter demoralization.
About 40 delegates from the South, seceded
from the Convention, and have adjourned to
meet at Richmond, Va , on the 11th of June.
Thus wo will have two Locofoco National
Conventions—and probably two candidates.
What will those Old Line Whigs now 4hink,
who ha7e gone into the Locofoco party, and
given as a reason that the Opposition were
sectional ? Tbe fact is, that the Locofoco
party is the most sectional in tbe Union. It
was the "everlasting nigger" that broke up
the Locofoco party at Charleston. The Amer
ican and Republican parties are a uuit on the
slavery question. They believe slavery should
not be interfered with where it exists, but that
it should not be extended into territory now
free, Looofocoism has one principle in the
North acd another in the South. Wo expect
now to seo all those old Whigs that have for
the past few years voted the Locofoco ticket,
enter the people's ranks.
The following is the vote by States in tne
Democratic National Convention on the ques
of substituting the minority (Douglas) report
for that of tho majority of the Platform Com
mittee :

We have been informed that Mr. William
Hartley positively denies having written the
dirty article signed by Mr. John A. Mowry, in
tho Gazette of week before last. Persons that
wo would eupposo kuew Mr. Hartley's style
better than any others, gave it as their opinion
that he was the author, which led us into the
error. For whatever wrong wo have done Mr.
Hartley in this illatter, be will consider this
our apology. The author, we are now convinc
ed, is none other than the brief ess and elassicnl
*Beef Heels."
Messrs A. B. Cramer & Co., have received
their uew goods. Call and examine them.
Messrs Jacob Reed At Co., have also received
their new goods. Give them a call.
Any of our subscribers who have two or
three shoats, which they will give to us on sub
scription, had better bring them along—also, a
few loads of wood.
The Tariff at Chariest on.
John Cessna, Esq., the delegate to Charles
ton from this County, for the sake of buncomb t
offered a resolution in the Charleston Conven
tion, that iroD, coal, wool and other produots
deserved protection. H< resolution was laugh'
ed and sneeted at by the haughty free-traders
there assembled, and Capt. Isaiah Rynders, the
shoulder-hitter Locofoco leader from N. York,
moved an amendment that Monongahela whis
key should also be protected. Tho resolution
was really laughed dowD, and Mr. Cessna was
not in earnest when he offered it, beoauso he
knew that it could not pass. If he woro really
for a Tariff for protection, ho would leave the
fcocofooo free trade party, and join the oppo
sition which ia in favor of protection to the
suffering interests of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Anderson, the P. M. at Cumberland Val
is informed that the package of papors for
that office, last week, wore sent in mistake by
the P. M., io Redford, to McConnellsburg,
which kept them back four or five days. We
don't blame Mr. Anderson, for our papers
missing so often, to come to that office which
Tie writes to us about on the Bth inst. Wc
have been frequently annoyed by these thiugs
for the last three years.

THE USIOM DISSOLVED !
Convention Adjourned to Meet at Bal
timore, on the 18th of June.
NO NOMINATIONS!
CHARLESTON, May 3.
The Convention was called to order at 10 o'-
clock.
.Mr. Russell, of Va., made an explanation with
regard to the Tennessee Compromise Resolution,
and offered a resolution that when the Convention
aojourn, to-day, it be to meet at Baltimore on the
lbth of June.
A motion to suspend the order for balloting was
carried—yeas 199; nays 61.
A delegate from Tennessee moved to strike out
Baltimore and insert Philadelphia. The confusion
and excitement were so great that it was difficult to
hear anything that was said.
Mr. Randall moved an amendment; to insert
Philadelphia, and the 4th day of July.
Mr. Ludlow, of New York, moved to insert New
York.
The motion to substitute New York was reject
ed.
The motion to substitute Philadelphia for Balti
more was also rejected—yeas 88, nays 166.
The original fesoluiion was then adopted veas
166, nays 88, as follows:—Reioired, That when Ujis
Convention adjourns to-day, it will be to meet in
Baltimore on Monday, the 18th day of June, in or
dci to afford the States that are not now represent
ed an opportunity to fill up their delegations.
Stuart, ol Michigan, moved that the Conven
tion adjourn.
Mr. Miles, of Maryland, hoped arrangements
woHld be made for printing the official account of
the proceedings.
Mr. Cusliiug, tbe President, before putting the
motion, asked permission to address to the Conven
tion a few words. Notwithstanding the deep and
conflicting interests, he might say to the country
that no Convention, having such immense interests
at stake, has ever sat for so great a length of time
with the observance of so great a share of order
aud freedom from personalities or offensive language
He had endeavored most impartially and honestly
to fulfil the duties of the chair, and if, in the ex
citement of the moment, he had been led to use
any abrupt language to gentlemen, he humbly apol
ogized. lie regarded this Convention as having in
its destiny not only the permanence of tho Demo
cratic patty, but the question whether these great
Uuiced States shouid continue and endure. He
would uot, however, relinquish the hope that the
Union would continue on to eternity, and ho tell
confident that the Convention would adjourn to
day with the determination to do ail in their power
to restore harmony and confidence.
Mr. Brent, of Baltimore, extended a cordials
invitation to tho Democracy of the Union to the
hospitalities of that city.

with five or six dissenting voices.

The Corruption Being Exposed.
We find tho following item iu a Washington
correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer , a
prominent Democratic paper. Head it.
Tho Senate Committee engaged in examiniug
into alleged corruption growing out of the pub
lic printing, met this morning and examiued
Cornelius Wendell and Wm. Rice. The for
mer was 9ubjeot to long examination. He stated
that UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE
PRESIDENT be paid TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO TIIE PENNSYLVANIAN,
and FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
THE EVENING ARGUS, of Philadelphia,
out of tho profits of tho Post Office blank print
ing, and that further ACTING UNDER THE
SAME AUTHORITY, HE HAD GONE IN
TO THE DISTRICT OF LECOMPTON
DEMOCRATS IN PENNSYLVANIA IN
1858, AND HAD SPENT LARGE SUMS
OF MONEY IN AN EFFORT TO SECURE
THEIR ELECTION. Rioe, who was lately
proprietor and editor of the Peunsylvanian,
verified the statements, and it is rumored that
his testimony implicated a Pennsylvania Sena*
tor, as receiving a portion of the money allow
ed the Pennsylvanian."
A beautiful record that for a President of
the United States! Read it again, and say if it is
not about time tho government was taken out of
the hands of these eorruptionists.
The whole of Potter's district iu Wisconsin,
and, iudeed of the Northwest, endorse his
course iu his late affair with Ilou. R. A. Pryor.
He had a rapturous reception on the occasion
of bis receut visit.
The Charleston Convention.
Long have eager eyes been charmed by the
ominous word "CHARLESTON." The 231 day
of April was for many months looked forward
to as the pectecost for Democratic apostlrg.—
Then and there was to be exploded the hete
rodoxy of Republicanism. The "irrepressible
conflict" was to bo exhibited in its Diked de
formity, and in contrast, too, with the sym
metry, perfection, ami beauty of National (!)
Democracy. The stench of sectionalism was
to bo subjected to the powerful deodorizing
qualities of a slave mart, and to all this at
tractive show there was positively no admit
tance for "de cullerd gemtnen," and the price
of admission, too, was so high as to exclude the
"mud sills of society." Such where the at
traction iu the programme, and advertised
throughout tho civilized world. But, alas!
the spell is broken, the day is numbered with
the past and like all others it brought but vanity
and vexation of spirir. BARNUM has been com
pletely out-Barnuroed, ami the itnpoitor dis
covered to be a "nigger." Tho "irrepressible
conflict'' was the only curiousity on exhibition.
LAn evil spirit had controlling influence, and
agitation, discord, and dissolution are the
fruits which wem promised to be harmony and
union.
Seriously, the Charleston Convention has
been u failure, and the disappointment it has
brought to ibe Democracy is second only to the
disappointment occasioned by the defeat of the
party yi this city Its lessons may not be al
together lost ; and if (hey teach the dangers
of charging upon others their own guilt it may
have been for good. Sectionalism, agitation,
dissolution of tho Union, and like epithets and
menaces will probably not bo charged upon
Republicans in future. That the Republican
is the only national party in existence cannot
be denied, and with an open, fair, and csndid
platform, and able, fearless candidates, it will
surely triumph, and as surely wia the corifi.
denoe and merit the approval of ail conierva
tive citizens of the country. That slavery is
an evil, no one can aeny, ami the respect and
jwwer which tho Democratic party lias lost by
favoring—not for principle, but tbe perquisites
its extension, has been, as it ever will be, the
death of every party; and no party that must
appeal to tbe intelligence of American freemen
can practice duplicity with impunity. Such is
the lesson of the past.— Slate Journal.
How the Democrats View {fie Ilesall
of Our Slcceut Eiecliou.
Already do we sec tho Democratic journals
in the interior of the State claim for their party
a triumph at our recent city election. They
alledge that our majority has been materially
reduced, and that our party is disappointed
with the result. Will they explain by what pro
cess of arithmetic theft leading party papers,
such as tbe Ledger and Pennsylvanian, could
show, as late as Saturday preceding the electiou,
that their majority would be 1900 ?
Tbe facts are simply as follows :—ln 1856
the Democratic majority in the city was 6000,
over all opponents. Tbe Republicans polled
less than 8000 votes,,and the Americans about
24,000. Iu ISSS tht Rcpubheaus and Ameri
cans united, and elected Mr. HENUY by 4000
majority, la the late campaign Mr. IIEXKY
was regarded as being a Republican, and al
though nominated and supported as the candi
date of the People's party he did uot receive
the support of the Straight-American wing:
the "Constitutional Unh-n" party united with
the Democracy ; ani so confident were tie
Democrats of success that they now give up
tho city in despair. We commend to our Dem
ocratic exchanges the following paragraph,
taken fiom the Pennsylvanian the morning
after the election. Will they please copy, that
their readers may learn from reliable Demo
cratic authority that this city "has gone over
to the enemy, aud is no longer to bo relied
upon V'
"The result wilt be-viewed by tho country
as a declaration, that Philadelphia is an Abo"
lition city. This circumstance is deeply to be
deplored in a social, political, and business
point of view. It will completely alienate the
peoplo of the South, persuading t'uetu that this
city, regarded hitherto by them as the last
stronghold of Northern conservatism, has gone
over to the enemy, and is no longer to be relied
upon, and that there was no truth or sincerity
in our fair Union Speeches and loud professions
of friendship and sympathy. The vote cast for
Mayor Henry—the candidate of an intensely
Abolitionized party—will greatly aggravate
these bitter feelings of sectionalism which are
fast teudiug towards a dissolution of the Union
and the ruin of this country."
Such is the language employed by a leading
Democratic journal—the Pennsylvanian , pub
lished in this city—to announce what Demo
cratic journals in other places are pleased to
call a Democratic victoiy ! — Stale Journal.
impurity of Liquors.
\\ o recently noticed the experience of Dr.
lliram Cox, of Ohio, Official Inspector of
Liquors at Cincinnati, in regard to the vinous
and distilled liquors consumed in that region :
Since then wc have met with another report,
made by another western inspector of Liquor
—Dr. L. G. Miilor—the inspector for Wayne
county, Michigan. Ilis precinct includes the
city of Detroit. Dr. Miller states that in
three hundred and eighty two cases of inspec
tion of whiskey, he discovered only two c ;ses ;
of pure, but as they contained no ingredient,
worse than extracts of plums, dried apples,
peaches, sugar and houey, brown roasted sugar
aud earmel, ho gave certificates of "pure."
He was unable to discover any arsenic, strych
nine, or Cayenne pepper, and therefore con
eludes that Michigan whisky is much better
than tho generality. The Doctor was not able
to find a single drop of pure French brandy.
It was in the main a mixture of genuine French
brandy, alcohol, sugar, and French coloring—
In one hundred and sixty-four samples of gin,
he found but tweuty nine samples genuine , \
the balance cortaiued a mixture of the oil of
juniper, alcohol, water and sugar. In thirty*
two samples of Jamaica rum, he found oniy
nine samples of genuine pure rum ; the rest
was mixed with Santa Croix and New England
rum. All articles of Irish and Scotch whisky
were found pure. Also the Malaga, Madtria (?)
and Sherry wines. Where he*found pure Ma*
deria wines we are at a loss to iiuagiuo. The
doctor remarks that "most of the French wines
inspected wero found to bo pure, but he found
many imitations which wore simply French
vinegar." Native wines wero found good, but
native brandies are extensively counterfeited.

ting of the Democratic Oonventiou, Mr. J„bn
Cessna, a democratic delegate from Bedford
county, this State, offered a resolution that iron
coal, wool and other staples deserved adequate
protection froiu our government. The whole
Convention (except those from this State who
feared death at home) sneered und husked at
the idea Isaiah Rynders, chief of the "Em
pire . tub, ' and prominent in the New York
democracy far the last twenty years, moved as
an amendment, that "adequate protection be
also extended to Monongahela whiskey l "' The
amendment was met with "an outburst of ap
plause and laughter," and neither Mr. Cessna
nor any delegate from this State, dare rise to
rebuke its insolence! The coal and iron -'nler

jected to uurei-uked ridicule aud insult in -

REASON AND COMMON SENSE.
Our readers may remember wo have on several
occasions spoken in very eulogistic terms of a
preparation whieh Dr. Seth S. Hance, of 108 Bal
timore street, Baltimore, Aid., has discovered for
'lie cure of Epileptic Fits. Now, in doing so, we
have been actuated by the very best motives, viz :
the alleviation of human suli'ering. From circum
stances which have lateiy come to our knowledge,
we fear there is a certain class of persons who are
not disposed to try this remedy in a common sense
manner. We allude to the fact of selecting a par
ticular case in a town where perhaps there are six
or eight cases, and trying it on ono case. Now,
perhaps the casa selected nught be the only one of
the whole number that it would not Fiire. " This is
neither doing themselves nor the medicine justice.
If a dozen persons were stricken down with cholera
in one town or neighborhood, would they all send
for a physician, or would only one emplov hiin.
aud wait and see if bo cured the first patient? That
plan of procedure would be most absurd. So in the
ease of Dr. UanceA remedy, every one who has
Fits should try it for a reasonable length of time.
It will not cure in a day or week; nothing worth
doing can be accomplished at once. What is easily
done, is as easily undone. The growth of time is
enduring. From the most respectable testimony wo
have examined, we feel assured that by a proper
perseverance in this remedy, nine cases of Epilepsy
out of ten may be cured. "The PilJs are sent by

A GOOD COMPARISON.
The Rer. Wm. Roulatt, a wtll know Meth
odist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws tho fol
lowing amusing but apt comparison between Dr.
Al-'Laue's celebrated Vermifuge, jsep.ired by Flem
ing Bros., of Pittsburg, Pa., and a ferret: *
"A ferret. when placed at the entrance of a rat
bole, enters the aperture, travels along the passage,
seizes upon the rat, exterminates bis existence, and
draws the animal's defunct carcass to the light.
And in like manner have I found Dr. M'Lane's
American Vermifuge to operate upon worms, those
dreadful and dangerous tormentors of children
This remedy, like the ferret, enters the aperture of
the mouth, travels down the gullet, hunts around
the stomach, lays bold of the worms, shakes the lite
out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den, and
carries their carcasses clear out of the system. This
at least, has been the effect of the Vermifuge upou
my children."
A neighbor of Mr. RouLatt, Mr. John Briggs,
adopts the simile of the reverend certifier, thus both
giving their most unequivocal approval of this
great specific, after having witnessed its operation
upon their own children. Let others try it, and be
satisfied.
Purchasers will be carelul to ask for Dr. M'Lan's
celebrated Vermifuge, manufactured by FLEMING
lilt OS., Pittsburg, Pa., Ail other Vermifuges in
comparison are worthless. Dr. M'Dane's genuine
Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now
be had at all respectable urug stores. None genu

NATURE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
This now admitted by the medical profession, us a
fundamental principle of healing science. It is
wisely provided by the human economy, that when
ever anything is wrong in the physical system, the
natural forces of the body are brought to bear to
expel the. disease. The great aim. therefore, is to
strengthen the natural powers. This has boon kept
iu view by the skillful compounders of DK. J.
HOS TETTER'S BITTER'S, which operate to give
fresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The
effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys, are pronipl and decisive. The
patient who is wise enough to quit drugging, and
try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he had token anew
lease of life, and as he continues the use of the
article, he is overjoyed to find the streams of health
coursing through his frame. Let all from whoso
"chick ti.o bloom lias departed, give Dr. J. iiostet
iter's Celebrated Bitters a trial.
