Lincoln and Douglas,
The so-called democratio press and orators
are busy trying to deceive the people into the
belief that ABRAHAM LINCOLN has not the
necessary qualifications for President. They
know better, but it is a part of that unending
game of humboggery aud deception in which
sham democracy "lives, and moves, and has its
being." Lincoln has served in the Legislature
of his State, and in CoDgress, and has been
twice nominated unanimously for the United
States Senate by his political ftiends in Illinois.
These are not the honors conferred on inferior
men. Moreover, in the great contest between
him and Stephen A. Douglas for the United
States Senate in 1858, Lincoln carried the pop
ular vote of the State against Douglas after a
most thorough canvass, and was only deprived
of his seat by a legislative gerrymander, uoder
which a minority of the voters were enabled to
elect a majority of the members of tbo Legis
lature. By this means alone the great leader
of that great humbug Squatter Sovereignly,
was enabled to triumph; and he now holds his
seat as the representative of the popular minor -
ity , whilst Lincoln the representative of the
popular majority was deprived of the seat by
that oft repeated democratic jugglery which en
ables the minority to rule the majority, in the
name of democracy and popular sovereignty.
In the great struggle of 1858, Lincoln and
Douglas canvassed the State together; and dis
cussed the principles of the two parties face to
face, and from the same stands. When the
discussion was over, the Republicans of the
State of Ohio, having watched the canvass with
great interest, and admired the marked ability
with which Lincoln bore up the standard and
conducted the canvass, procured copies of ail
the speeches of both Lincoln and Douglas, and
had them published. This volume of debates
is now one of the great political text books or
the t'mes; and should Douglas also be nomina
ted it will be in still greater demand. In Doug
las' speech at Bloomington delivered 16th July
1858, in speaking of Lincoln as his competitor
for the United States Senate, Douglas says: "I
have known him (Lincoln) well for a quarter of
"a century. I have known him, as you all
"know him, a kind-hearted, amiab'.e geuileman,
"a right good fellow, a worthy citizen, oj cmi
"nent ability di a lawyer, and I have no doubt
"sufficient ability to make a good Senator "
(Debates, page 29 )
In the face of the foregoing facts, and such
an endorsement as this from one of their own
party so well qualified to make it, are not the
democratic orators and presses making them
selves ridicule U3 and contemptible by their silly
efforts to convince the people that Lincoln is
not a man of both loarniug ami ability suffi
cient to fill any office in the gift of the people.
The Tariff— Jhsl as we Expected.
Our American and Republican friends iu
Congress carefully prepared a judicious tariff
bill ; and some sis weeks ago passed it by the
handsome vote of 105 to 04, and sent it to the
Senate. The Senate might have passed it also,
in twenty four hours time, had it seen proper;
but ;t was referred to a Democratic Committee
of which Mr. Hunter of Virginia was chair
man ; and after postponing action upon it from
day to day, and week to week, on Friday last
he reported it to the Seuate without
amendment, but with a recommendation that it
be postponed until the first Monday in De
cember next. Tbis Democratic candidate for
Presidency, made a speech in favor of bi
motion to postpone, in whioh he took occasion
to denounce and repudiate the whole poiiuy
and doe'riue of protection to American labor
and industry. Cameron, Seward, Simmons,
and other Republicans opposed the postpone
ment ; but the Sham Democracy being in a
large majority in the Senate, the motion pre
vailed by a vote of 25 in favor of postpone
ment and 23 against it. The whole 25 were
Locofocos, and the whole. 23 were Republicans
and Americans except Bif-ler and Latham !
So we have but two Locofocos in tbe whole
Senate of the United States and about the
same cumber in Ibe House, in favor of Pro
tection ; and our Tariff bill is defeated once
more by the hypocritical Sham Democracy, as
we feared aud expected it would bo, and as it
has always been heretofore, and always will be
horeattcr, whilst they have the power to defeat
it. Douglas, true to his party allegiance
dodged, or was constantly absent, whilst HAM*
lin, whom the Locofocos denounce as a free
trader, voted steadily with our party friends
for the Tariff and for protection. Whilst we
exceedingly regret this action of the Senate,
we do trust the pooplo will be now able to see
clearly who are for protection to Amoncau
labor and Pennsylvania interests, aud who are
not ; and that free trade and all its aiders and
abetters will be annihilated at the approaching
elections. We got tbe tariff of 1842 by
wiping out free trade Sham Democracy clean
in 1840, and the same remedy is the only one
uow in our power to bring about aud establish
a tariff for protection.
The Gazette has for weeks been prating
about HenryM). Foster, the Locofoco candidate
for Governor, being at Washington City, la
boring to procure the passage of tko House
lariff bill. Has'ut he made a pretty thing of
it? Where is his influence with his party
friends in the Senate ? (Jurtin's friends in the
House passed the bill long ago, not bcoause
Curtin asked it, bot because like biui they were
tariff men ; and buster's friends in the Senate
defeated it, not because Foster asked it, but
because like him they were Locofooos. Rest
assured, the day of reckoning is at hand !
BEDFORD IMOUIRER.
LOCOFOCO COUNTY TICKET.
The Locofoco County Convention mot on
Tuesday last, aud placed in nomination the
following ticket:
Congress,
Wtu. P. Sckell, BEDFORD BOROUGH,
Prothonotary,
Sam'l H. Tate, BEDFORD BOROUGH,
Sheriff,
John J. CeasDa, BEDFORD BOROUGH,
Commissioner,
Richard McMullio, Napier tp.
Poor Director.
John Brumbaugh, South Woodberry,
Auditor,
Josiah Baugliman, West Providence,
Coroner,
Jacob Walter, St. Clair.
It will bo seen by the above, that so far as
the Locofoco party of the Couuty outside of the
Borough is concerned, it is a mere cypher! They
may present from the country as many good
and unexceptionable candidates as they please,
if the Borough presents candidates for the same
offices, the country is always beaten, by the
adroitness of tbo Borough politicians in pulling
the wires. No man who is acquainted with
Mr. Henry Sobell, of Sohellsburg, but knows
that he bad more claims for the office of Pro
thbnotary than Mr. Tate, and is besides a strong
er man, yet in several of the Townships, St.
Clair, Juniata, Londonderry, and others, Mr.
Sobell, it is said, was beaten for the Delegates
by dowuright fraud, concocted in Bedford, and
whiskey for that purpose, ordered from tho same
place, ae charged by Democrats, themselves
Under this state of circumstances, Mr. Schell,
very properly, would not permit his name to go
before the Convention. After securing the
Congressman and Prothonotary from the Bor
ough, the friends of Col. F. D. Beegle, Peter
H. Studebaker, Wm. Powell, Isaac Kensiufger,
Isaac D. Earnest, candidates for the next best
office, that of Sheriff, though?, as a matter of
course, it would be given to one of them, but
that was not part of the programme of the Bor
ough wire workers; they had resolved that John
J. Cessna, of Bedford Borough, should be the
candidate, and he was accordingly nomiaaled.
Tbey magnanimously gave (o the country the
offices of Commissioner, Poor Director, Audi
tor aud Coroner, which are of no account, but
took all tiio-e worth a baubee themselves.—
Will the people of the oouutry stand such treat
ment by their would-be town masteis! Will
they consent to give the borough, which com
poses not over the tweutieth of the population
of the Couuty, all the offices worth having?—
Will they, we say? If not, now is the time to
give thorn a proper rebuke, by voting against
the whole "Borough Tiiket."
POOR HOUSE PROPERTY.
In our advertising'columris will be fotffin the
Report of the Commissioners for the sale of
the Poor House Property. They have exam
ined the statistics of the concern for the last
ten years, and have eouio to the conclusion
that the present property pays at least ten per
cent on the amount of money invested, and
that no property could be procured which
would yield the same amouut of profit ; they
therefore decline carrying out the objeot for
which they were appointed. They admit that
the concern, to some extent, has been improp
erly managed, and that it should be kept dear
of politics. In this we agree with them. It
the affair had always been under proper man
agement, it would stand much better, finan
cially. Eaeh party ought to run a fiist-rate
business man for the office. Such men are
not cow there. The Steward, probably, ought
to be appointed for three or five years, and tire
Miller for the same length of time. This
would, to a considerable extent, take it out of
polities, by abolishing the annual appointment
of officers, and tbeD, when wo would get a
good man, we might be able to keep him there.
Probably, to still further remove it from poli
tics, the two parties should have an under
standing to run but one candidate ; one year a
good uiau of one party, the next year a good
man of the other, and so on, all the time.—
The Commissioners recommend several im
provements in the management of the affairs,
a new building, so as to keep the resident pau
pers and wayfarers separate, &o. The Report
was written by O. E. Shannon, Esq., and de
serves to be well considered.
HON. JOHN COVODE.
We are sorry to see it announced that the
Hon. John Covode has declined the use of his
name, for a renomioatton to Congress. We
hope he may reconsider this course, and permit
the use of his name, aud that our friends in
that district may have the wisdom to re-nomi-
Liin. Mr. Covode is one of the best working
men in Congress, and his indefatigable labors,
as Chairman of the celebrated Committee
which bears his name, havo rendered the coun
try immense benefit in exposing the rascality
of the most corrupt administration that has
ever existed. Mr. Covode ought to ba re
nominated and elected.
The House of Representatives at Washing
ton has rejected Barrett of tho St. Louis dis
trict, and given the seat to Frank Blair.—
This makes three Locofocos who have been
ousted in tho present Congress—frauds enough
being proved in each case to give the seat to
the opposition candidate. Mr. Blair has resigned
his seat to take effect at the end of the present
session, and will contest the election with
Barrett before the people, again next fall.
The Senate put aside the Kausas Admission
bill by the decisive vote of 33 to 27—only
Messrs. Pugh and Latham voting with the Re
publicans.
FOWLER THE DEFAULTER. —Some of the |
New York Papers are extenuating the offence
of Fowler on the ground that he was of an
easy, debonair temper aud carriage, and yield
ed readily to the sucking politicians and others
by whom he was surrounded. Tue same may
be said of almost every criminal of this class
from the highest official down to the lowest
clerk in any office. The higher the position,
the greater the crime. Politicians alone are
appointed to the Federal offices of state, and
fitness is disregarded—the great consideration
being the political influence of the party seek
ing appointments. A humble clerk in that
very post-office would be tried, and, if guilty,
punished for purloining post-office moneys.—
Why should a superior bo allowed to escape ?
Why should not the form? of justioo be ap
plied to the chief of an office, as to an uuder
ling ? Is he to bo let off for political party
considerations ? Attempts at a compromise
are said to be made by (he friends of the de
faulter.—Exchange.
Fowler's defalcation amounts to over §155,-
(100, and it is admitted by the Locofooo Post
Master General that he was a defaulter for
several years ? Why not then remove him?
The reasou was that he subscribed a large part
of'it to carry Pennsylvania against the People's
party. It is said he has fled to South Ameri
ca, but some say be is iu New York yet, and
that the adrmnistr ation is using very little ef
fort Ui oatch him.
Wt notice by tl o last Somerset Whig that a
polo was raised in Buokstown, in that County,
with a flag on which was inscribed the names
of Lincoln, Ilamlin and Curtin. Great enthu
siasm was manifested. Speeches wero made
by Gen. Wm. H. Koontz and Edward M. Shrock.
Our old straight American friend , Capt. Wm.
Ritchcy, formerly of Bedford, was quite active
in getting up the affair. He is for Lincoln,
and opposed to giving Locofocoisni a vote, by
supporting Bell. Somerset County will give
Liucoln 2000 majority.
INCREASING THE FEES!
We believe it is not generally known
throughout the County that as soon as Maj. S.
H Tate became Prothonotary, he raised the
tees, in some cases to double what they had
formerly been under other officers. When our
friends frotn the oountry are doing business
with the Prothonotary, they should know that
they have to pay Maj. S. H. Tate t /ic/ce as
truck as they had to pay John P. Reed, Esq.,
or Maj. Danl. Washabaugh. What do you
think of that ?
LITTLE THINGS.
Under former Prolhouotarys the fees for
swearing aud taking bonds for Constables was
25 cents, when Maj. S. U. Tate was elected he
raised the fees to 75 cents, just 200 per cent,
of an increase! Last Court he charged them
nothing—with a re-nomination forProthonotary
before him. lie might well do this, when for
three years ho was charging them three times
as much as other Prothonotarys. Will he make
a vote by it? We believe not.
A communication appears in our paper to
day recommending C. W. Ashcoui, Esq., for
the Legislature. He is au excellent man, but
we Lave all good men for that office. Win.
Griffith, Esq., of Union, G. W. Householder,
of East Providence, 0. W. Ashcoui, of Broad
Top, Johu G. Mtunich, Geo. W. Rupp and A.
S. Russell of Bedford, are first rate men, and
either will deserve the votes cf tbo whole
party should he be nominated, for Assembly.
The second Locofooo National Convention
is now in session in Baltimore. The Couven
tioned opened ou Monday, aud the proceed
ings that day were bitter and stormy. The
States that had seceded were not admitted,
and the Convention was sitting a sectional
body. It is thongiit that Douglas will be nom
inated. If he is, they will have two candidates
in the field. They aro a badly used up party.

PF.LEGATE ELECTIONS.- -We hope our
friends will .all attend to the Township and
Borough elections. Send your best men as
delegates and lot them take up a good ticket
and all will be well.
An enthusiastic ratification meeting was held
at Oberlin, Ohio, on Tuesday evening week, at
which the venerable Joshua R. Giddings spoke.
In the course of his remarks he said, referring
to Mr. Lincoln:
"While they were both in Congress they be
came intimately acquainted, boarding at the
same house, nnd sitting opposite each other at
meats: that he thought be knew the heart of
Abraham Lincoln as well as any living man,
aod speaking from that knowledge, he believed
that every beat of 'honest Abe's' heart was a
throb of sincerity and truth—in a word, that
he is that uoblest work of God—an honest
man. He believed Lincoln's loyalty to Re
publican principles, and to the cause of free
dom and humanity, was unquestionable and
beyond suspicion.
Afier the nomination of Mr. Lincoln, many
delegates who were going to visit the next
President, requested Mr. Giddings lo write a
letter to that individual. He consented, and
immediately wrote a note, in substance as fol
lows:
"DEAR LINCOLN: You're nominated. You
WILL BE ELECTEB. After your election,
thousauds will crowd around you, claiming re
mards for services rendered. I, too, have uiy
claims upon you. I have not. worked for your
nominaiion, uor for that of any other man. I
have labored for tbe establishment of princi
ples; aod when men came to uie asking my
opinion of you, I only told tiiem, -Liucoln is
an bonet man.' All I ask in return for my
services is, make my statement good throughout
your Administration. Yours,
GIDDINGS.
Stampede of Democratic Laboring
Men.
For some time, says the Mew York Eveuing
Post, there has been much dissatisfaction among
the laboring men of the First Ward, who have
heretofore acted with the Democratic party.—
At the time of the primary elections for the
organization of the Democratic General and
Young Men's Central Committee for IS6O, (con
sisting of five reDresentatires from each ward,)
they d emanded a representation, but were nut
off under various pretexts, and failed to obtain
the selection of any one of the names they pre
sented. This, with a general and growing con
viction that the professions of tire Democratic
leaders—that tbe Democratic party is a friend
ot tbe laboring man—are false, has iuuucod
many of them to leave that organization, and
to openly express their determination to act
henceforth with the Republicans.
On Friday Digbt last, at a meeting of the
First Ward Republican Campaign Club, a com
munication was received, signed by about foriy
laboring men, expressing their disgust wiib the
so-called Democracy, arid asxiog to be admit
ted to membership in the Club, and declaring
their intention to vote the Republican ticket
froui this time onward.
1 tie communication was received, and after a
brief discussion of the claims of the applicants
it was unanimously voted to admit thcui to mem
bership, and every in;n who had signed the
communication walked up aad sigued the roil.
They have also applied for membership in
the ward Republicau Assocition. It is said
there are scores waiting 10 join in the move
ment.
The A'i*o*i>ect.
From every section and through every chan
nel, we have cheeriug advices with regard to
the Presidential canvass. Men of widely-di
verse traditions, prepossessions, and sympathies,
concur in tbe assurance that the right chord has
been touched, a substantial union of the Oppo
sition secured, by tbe nomination of Lincoln
and Hamlin. In no .State that voted for Free
uiout and Dayton is there a serious doubt of a
Republican triumph in November. These give
us 114 Electorrl Votes, to which—Kansas be
ing most unrighteously kept out—Minnesota (a
new State) will certainly add 4, makiug lib.
We shall need 34 more to elect Lincoln by the
People; and for these we shall have to look to
the following States:
New Jersey 7 Indiana 13
Peunsylvauii 27 Illinois 11
Oregon 3
In all G1
Every one of those we believe Lincoln and
Ilamliu will carry, and we do uot despair of
adding Delaware to the list, makiug their Elec
toral vote 178 —to 125 for all others.
Thus far, we have not counted on a divisiou
of our oppouents, but assumed that they will
put their best foot foremost and give us tbe
best fight that is in them. If they divide, or
stay divided, and run two rival tickets, the cou
test will bo over before it is fairiv begun.

HALIFAX, June 13. —The Steamer Niagara,

The news by this arrival is interesting.
Tbe report of tbe fall of Palermo before the

FIRST GUN IN ILLINOIS FOR OLD ABE.— Republican
Gain*- An election for Justice of the peace came
oil in Berlin precinct, Sangamon county, Illinois,
on Saturday, Juno 2ii. Party lines were strietly
drawn, for the Democrats supposed they could elect
their candidate without difficulty; and the Republi
cans, though expecting to be beaten, as usual, were
determined to make a good light. The election was
one of the most exciting that has been hold in Ber
lin precinct for years, and when tho polls were closed
the Democrats felt certain that their stronghold was
still in their possession. But tho counting of the

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
What is it T How Cured ?
Dyspepsia is our National Disease—weak sioniacr,
ieehlo digestion, distress after eating, costive habit,
bilious coudition. How many .suffer with it. and its
attendant symtoros of low spirits, bad taste, coated
tongue, obstupified bead, and attacks of headache!
Yet how few know how to euro if! Generally,
because the bowels are constipated, resort is i.ad
to cathartics or laxatives. But such a condition
wis never cured by cathaities, whosb only office is
to weaken the digestion, and iropairthc integrity of
the entire assimilative system.
But HUMPHREY'S HOMEOPATHIC DVS
PEPSIA PILLS—a simple medical sugar pill—

stinate cases- This is douc simply by improving
the tone, and restoring the integrity of tbo digestive
organs, from which result, good appetite, regular
habits, a clear head, and buoyant spirits. Such a
medicine is a gem, and only requires to be known
to be appreciated.

WONDERFUL! BUT TRUE.
A few days since, Mr. Jas. If. Beadle, of Hunts
ville, Alabama, called on us and gave us permission
to publish for the benefit of suffering humanity, the
astonishing'cure which had been effected in the
case of his wife by the use of Dr. Hanco's Vegeta
ble Epileptic Pills. He informed us, that at the
time his wife commenced usiug the medicine, her
system was so entirely prostrated, by the number
of spastus sue hail undergone, as to reduce her
weight to 100 lbs. Since she has been taking the
pills, she has cntliely got over the spasms and has
gained in weight and bodily health. She no*
weighs at least 200 lbs., and declares she Is in bet
ter enjoyment of health than ever before in her
life. Mr. Beadle also related the case of Mr. Har
rison Lightfoot of tho same town, who has been
entirely cured of the worst forut of Epilepsy by
these same pills. Mr. Lightfoot's case was so bad
that he never passed a week without having Rn at
tack, cften falling down in the street. He has not
had an attack fop more thau a year. Mr. Beadle
thinks that if the pills ever fail in curing a case, it
is for the want of a proper perseverance on the
part of the person in taking them, as he feels as
sured fiorn the case of his wite, that
if they are taken for a sufficient length of time,
they will cure any case. Sent to any part of the
country by mail, on the receipt of a remittance.—
