The members of the Party throughout the County are earnestly requested to attend. Turn out, friends of Liuooln, Hamlin and Cur tin. Speakers from a distance are axpeeted to 'address the meeting. By order of the County Committee. S. L. RUSSELL, August 1., 18.60. Chairman. mmm. The regular meeting of the Lincoln Club, of Bedford Borough,will meet in the Court House, m Tuesday evening next, Aug. \>Bth. Several speeches may be expected. A goo' turn out is desired. PETER U. SHIRES, J). F. JU-NN, Sec'ty. J> regt , In a Bad Fix. Every time the Locofocos of this State meet in Convention, or inState Committee, they make matters worse. The rank and file hardly know where tbey stand. A short time ago the State Committee met at Cresson, and recoommended a "fusion" electoral ticket, and last week a Douglas Convention met in Harrisburg, and adopted a "straight-out" ticket and took from the head of the ticket the name of Geo. M. Keim, and inserted that of John Cessna. On tbo 25th, the places of all other Breckinridge mn, are to be supplied with the uau;cs of "straigh-out" Douglas men. Our friend, John Cessna was in attendance. Last week the Bedford Gazette preached up in favor of "fusion." We presume that as John Cessna is the editor of that paper, and owuer of its publisher, it will now change its tack, and come out for the "straight" ticket. Boor fellows, we do pity them. "Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." llazleluirsl'g Speech. We publish on the outside of our paper, this week, the able speech of Hon. Isaac Ha zleburst, at Heading, on the 6th iust. Mr. Iluzlehur&t was the straight-out American can didate for Governor in 1857. He gives the strongest reasons why all Americans should support Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin. Bell is not Ihe candidate of the Americans, and never belonged to the American party —the party that nominated him styles itself the Constitu tional Union party—its Couveutiun adopted no principles, and did not recognize the American party, and therefore Americans are not under any obligations to support this new party can didate Bead this speech of Mr. Hazloburst and pass it round to your American neighbor. HON. JOHN COVODE.—IIOU. John Oovode, we are glad to inform our readers, has been renominated in the Westmoreland district, for Congress. Mr. Covode had declined the uomi nation, and a difficulty occurring betweeu Mr. White of Indiana Couuty, and Mr. Cowan of Westmoreland, both were withdrawn and Mr. Covode was re nominated as a compromise can didate. We are glad the difficulties in this District have been settled, besides we are glad Mr. Covode will be returned, as he is one of the most useful men in Congress. The North should follow the practice of tho South in this respect, and when we have a good man in Congress, should keep him there. ANOTHER CONVERT.—Ou Saturday evening last, a week ago, Hon. JOHN P. SANDERSON, made a speech before the Republican Club iu Philadelphia, in favor of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin. Mr. Sandersou was one of tte prin cipal straight Fillmore leaders in 185G, a lis zlehurst man in 1857, and tho editor of that straight-out American paper, the Philadelphia Daitg Aeios, in both thu&e years. He says the only hope of deteatiug the corrupt Loeo "foco parly is to vote for Lincoln, Hamlin and Cut tin. A vote for John Bell is half a vote for the Locofocos. CONGRESSIONAL CONFERENCE. The conferees for this Congressional Dis trict, composed of the counties of Bedford, Fraukliu, Fulton, Juniata and Adams, met at Chamher.burg, on Tuesday last, 21st inst., and on the fiist ballot our pieseut worthy and tal ented representative, Hon. Edward MePher sou, was re-nominated. We will publish the proceedings next week. ACCIDENT.— On Monday last, a sou of Mr. Jotiu 11. Rush, of this place, in attempting to walk one of the "stay-wires" of Dr. Ander son's bridge, (after tho manner of Prof. Price) fell some distauce to the grouud and rocks be neath, breaking his arm. This should be a warning to ;he boys of our towu, and keep them from attempting such hazardous feats in the future. ILLINOIS.— The campaign has opened in Il linois with great earnestness. The Republi can papers publish a long list of appointments for Seuator Trumbull, Carl Schurz and Mr. llassaurt-k, all of whom intend to traverse the State from end to cud. There will be no idle Republicans in that State. SENATORIAL. The Senatorial Conference for this district met at Bedford, on Tuesday, the 21st inst., and nominated Cel. S. S. \\ liartoo, of Huntingdon County. Proceedings next week. A GARRISONIAN FOR DOUGLAS.— Dr. Ig uatius Langcr, a Garrisonian Abolitionist, of Davenport, informs the Gazette that he intends to vote for Douglas, because the election of the latter would keep up aud increase the slavery agitation-, a result that he regards as emiueutly desirable. The election of Lincoln would quiet agitation, by disabusing the minds of Southern men iu regard to the purposes of the Republicans. While tho 1 utter believe with Mr. Lincoln that this country will ulti mately be all free or all slave territory, they do not propose to interfere with the institutions aud systems of the South. They believe that an enlightened and Christianized public senti ment will work the cure f the evil, if it is di vested of the support it has of late years re ceived from the Genetal Government. The Garrisonian desires to see the country convul sed from centre to circumference by a continu ed agitation of the question. There is system in the madness of Dr. Linger BEDFORD IMOIRER. DOUGLAS TALKING UNION. Douglas—the would be President Douglaj —says some mighty good things, though in tb matter of doing good things he is sadly deiri lict. He oan 'talk like a book' for the Union —that's so; but 'actions speak louder than words,' and bis repeal of the Missouri Com promise, through which sectional strife was re newed aud the slavery agitation revived, over balances all his honied words. That Repeal has led to more sectionalism end more dis uuiouism than any other act ever perpetrated iu our couutry; and for that act alone this same Douglas deserves tho execration of every Union man in the land. But withal, as we have just said, he talk' 3 well for the Union, as for instance, in a speech at Concord, New Hampshire, tho other day. when casting about for the votes of the 'Green Mouutain boys,' he said: '-Why cannot we live together uow as we did then, in the boftds of peace and fraternity? These questions come home to us in the North west with more force than they do to you even. Go into the plains of Illinois, and there you will find the Yankee boy with a southern wife, the Yankee girl with a southern husband.— When their children have grown up, and have gone to visit the graves of their fathers or tbeir mothers, or the graves of their ancestors, they have had to go to Virgiuia as well ns New Hampshire to see theui both. Each child has a southern allocator as well us u northern one; and he don't like to havo curses heaped upon the head of a parent or grandparent. Then again, when you come to talk to us aboftt a dissolution of the Union, we tell you No, nev er. We trade southward as Well as north ward. We furnish tho water that flows down the Mississippi as well as the water that flows through the lakes of the St. Lawreuce. We intend to follow that water wherever it fkws until it mingles into the broad ocean. We have social and commercial relations with the South aud the East alike. We have the tie of country and of blood that binds them to gether. When you tell us that this Union is to be dissolved, we say Never, for the reason that wc never intend to travel into u foreign country, and obtain a passport and have it vised by a consul, iu order to visit 'tin torn bs of our fathers or tho sceues of our fathers, or the scenes of our childhood. Hence there is not a man on the frontier that dou't love this glorious Union, and because we do love the Union our motto is never to do au act that would aliouatc oue portion ol the people froui auotlier." N"ow that's talking, light talking, and true talking. It's 'the talk.' The Uuion aiu't go iug to be dissolved, for the people wou't agree to it, aud especially wont those up iu the north western frontier States, whithor '-the march of empire takes its way," and where they go for Liueolu and Hamlin with a mighty zeal and au overwhelming strcugtb. Douglas is altogether right iu this. The aisaoiutiou cry is idle aud fanatical ranting—nothing more. The Necessity of Orgauization. Gen. CAMERON ill his speech at the groat People's meeting m Philadelphia, on Saturday night week, gave some good advice to the sup porters of Liueolu, ilamliu and Cortiu.— Alter addressing his political friends iu re ference to the distracted condition of their op ponents, he said : "You must not be led into indifference by over confidence. It is true our oppoueuts are themselves as fully eouviuced of the bad eon duet of tbeir Administration as we are ; yet we have BO ofteu seou them stultify themselves, and uuite to perpetuate the very wrong they had deuouueed, that it would not be sui prising to see tiieui unite again now, aud support a common ticket, notwithstanding all their de nunciations of each other. "We must uot, therefore, rely on tbeir weak ness, but on our own strength, which should be shown iu its fullest extent. 1 have uo doubt of our success, but our vote should be so stroug as to satisfy the public rniud through out the Union that Pennsylvania is settled in the convictions of bar true policy, it should be no partial victory, but au absolute triumph by overwhelming majority, aud to this end it is only necessary that the vote should be full.— If our vote is full, the position of Pennsylvania will be fiually settled, not ouly for the present but tor the fuiure. "I sec you have placed on your banners the names of Lincoln, llamlin and Curtin. That is all very well. Liucolu's name should be first, as it is national and perhaps the most important, but the position and policy of oar owu Statu is hardly of secondry importance, aud therefore 1 want you to turn your attention to the election of Col. Curtiu, first, not only because of its great value to ouiselves, bcoauso if that be secured tho rest is sure to fallow.— You will remember that it was by the vile frauds at the October election in 185G tbat the outrageous result iu November was produced. '•1 have but few words to say. The report ed vote of Pennsylvania placed IU power the bad, weak old man now at the head of the Government, who has violated every pledge he gave to his neighbors aud frieuds, and who, besides inaugurating aud maintaining tho most corrupt and vicious Administration the country has ever had, has done all iu his power to de stroy the interests of his nativo State, to the confidence of whose people he is indebted for all he has. ♦'Remember this, aud if 1 do no: meet YOU thus publicly agaiu during the campaign, iet this idea indcliibly impressed cn your minds, aud let it actuate you iu all your plans during the contest, that the larger the majority you give to Curtin iu October, and to Lincoln in November, the more severe and dccidod will bo the rebuke of Peuusylvauia to her faithless son, James Buchanan. The State owes it to heiseif to redeem her name from the disgrace he has brought upou her." This is certainly valuable counsel, even if it had proceeded from a less eminent source, aui should uot be received with indifference by the friends aud supporters of the nominees of the Chicago and ilariisburg Couvcudous It is bad policy to depend on the weakness of our opponents rather than ou our owu strength. President Buchauan and Attorney General ' Black arc now at the Springs. Tbc following is the Constitution adopted by the Lincoln Club of Bedford Borough, and we publish it for the benefit of oar friends iu the different townships, who are about forming, or have formed clubs.

NIiVV-YOiiK IN 1850 AND 1860 The following are some of the most import ant changes that have taken place iu N. York politics since 1850 : Mr. E. 11. Sewett,{publisher of Tht Buffalo Commercial, President of the Ftllmore State Committee, and ohief manager of the Fillmore campaign in 1856, and till very recently mem ber of Mr. Critteuden's National Uuiou Com mittee, uow supports Lincoln, with all the in fluence of The Commercial , which has ever been an able advocate of Whig and American principles. Tho lion. N. S. Beuton, appointed Canal Auditor hy the American State officers in 1556, an earnest supporter of Ftllmore, and the American Candidate for Controller in 1857, now supports Linaolu. The Lion. George li. Babcoek of Buffalo, lute State Senator, a leading Oid-Line Whig and American, a close Dcrsonal friend and sup porter of Fillmore, is stumping Western Nej* York iu support of Liueolu. The lion. Daniel Ullman, the American can didate for Governor iu 1854, supporter of Fillmore iu ISSG, now supports Lincoln. Gen.G. A. Scruggs, Prcsidentof the Auuri cun State Council, candidate for Lieut Gov ernor, on the American tickut with Utliuau iu 1854, a supporter of Fillmore in 1856, dele gate to the Convention that nominated Dell and Everett, delegate to the late State Convention at whi<ffi Hunt, Ducr, and Brooks, proclaimed the Douglas coalition, now supports Liueolu. Goldsmith Deuniston, late au American Member of the Legislature and American can didate for Caual Commissioner in 1857, a warm supporter of Fillmore iu 1856, uow sup ports Lincoln. Shepherd Knapp, a distinguished Old-Line Whig of this city, and a suppotter of Fillmore iu 1856, now supports Linoolu. James O. Putuuoi, late American State Sen ator, aud eloquent advocate of the prin ciples aud 'candidates of the American party, the persoual friend aud neighbor of Mr. Fill more, and the candidate of the Amerioau party for sundry important Stato aud local offices, now supports Liueolu. In 1856, there were upward of fifty journals in New York that supported Fillmore. The number of those that support Bell aud Everett does not exceed six. Foster turns up Missiug. In the aocouut of the proceedings of tbe Democratic State Coiuioittce, at Cresson, tbe following occurs : Mr. Carrigan,. OQ behalf of the committee which had bccu appointed to wait on Gen. Fog tor, 6aid they had huuted for hitn in the hotels and adjoining woods, but could not find him. Of course they couldn't. Why could they? Mr. Foster who has boon dodging the Doaoe racy tor several months, would be green if he couldn't escape observation in the Allegheny mountains. But is it not rather degradiog, that a candi date for Governor of Pennsylvania is compelled to hide himself iu the mountain caverns to es cape the interrogatories of his political friends? And yet the Democracy of both wings will vote for such a jack-o'-lantern. Mr. Henry D. Foster, need not be alanued, he is perfectly safe iu his retreat —even th 9 people—when they ooate u Took for him next October, will not he able to Snd him, nor wi 1 they inquire as to his whereabouts. In Harrisburg, week, Mr. W. A. Wy coff shot his chamber maid through the arm; mistaking her in the dark for a burglar. Henry 1). Foster is acknowledged by the administration of Jauies Buchanan an ono of its warmest sympathisers and most ardent se cret eupportets. One week after the nomina tion of Mr. Foster, be procured the appoint ment of a friend to a desk in one of the de partments at Washington, which circumstances forbade that friend's accepting. The letter announcing this appointment stated that it was made to satisfy Mr. Foster for favors rendered and services to be performed by him, to the administration. And yet, some of the friouds and advocates of Mr. F. cling to bim because lie is presumed to be in opposition to the ex travagance, oppression aud intolerance of the administration. But it is characteristic of the political course of tbis negative gubernatorial candidate. Ambitious and vasciliatiug—cra ving for place and power—tampering with in fluence in any shape—pandering to prejudice by a supercillious and contemptible siieuoe— he claims and bis friends assert for him a dig nity of position and fairness of action in the present canvass, to which he is not entitled.— Gen. Foster is playing a double game. Ho is hoodwinking the anti-Lecomptou men, and is in secret conclave and conference with the ad ministration, planning to defeat Douglas, con cocting schemes to carry bis own election, so as to secure the triumph of Joe Lane. Will the men who were forced to 4 'stand in the cold," by the arrogance and tyranny of the administration of Buchanan, allow themselves to be deceived any loDger by the cburse of Henry 1). Foster? Ho is moved by no sym pathy for them—he will have nothing in com mon with them if elected—and is now the eon fidaot of the very men who seek most ardently to stifle the voice of every freeman m the State. If Henry D.Foster is a high minded and independent uiau, he must assert a prefer ence and take a position iu the present cam paign. If he has uo preference between the two wings of Democracy, then there is no principle iuvolved tn their division. It is only an sDgry conflict for the possession of an or gauizrtion presumed to have power to elevate men to office—and not a uoble struggle to es tablish and vindicate principles that are calcu lated to enhauoe the public welfare.— Har. Telegraph. Henry D. Foster was at Cressou diyriog the deliberations of the pugnacious divisions of the Democracy, aod a committee was appoint ed to invito him to their eonelave, but Henry was too sharp for bis friends. The committee could not find their tuan, even in Uressou. He was there, but incog. Mr. Foster was there patching and plotting for his own interests— making propositions to his enemies, and ac cepting any compromise, however dishonorable and damaging to principle, that sought the pro motion of his own prospects and electiou.— When a committee was appointed to ask him to participate in the proceedings of this (Jresson meeting, hd concealed himself. He had not the courage to meet his friends. He knows that lie is playing a double game, and there fore shrinks from the gaze aud conference of men. How infinitely below the standard of honest independence and manly frankness, is the conduct of such a uiau, when viewed im partially. Unwilling to avow a sentimeut or declare a preference, be stands before his own party, hesitating to endorse its compromises, and frightened at the prospects which its du plicity has created. Is such a man—such a politician—such a time setving statesman, pay ing court to the demagoguisuj iu his own par ty, aud seeking to abuse the confidence of hon est men in all parties, fit to be the governor of a great commonwealth? We think he is not. The people of Pennsylvania will also prove at the October election, that the nun who is un willing to meet aa issue or flies from au inter rogatory, is unfit to lead them in politics or business. Tin last dodge of Mr. Fostar at Cresson is the crowning act of bis duplicity in the pres ent Ciioipaigu. It fairly illustrates the manner in which he seeks to impose on the people.— It exhibits his candor and his courage —and is in humiliating contrast with tho bold and straightforward course of Andrew G. Curtin, who, instead of shrioking from a friend or foe, iraukly commuues with the one, and as boldly meets the other. — liar. Telegraph. DOUGLAS AND BRODERICK.—Tho Chicago Press and Tribune gives the following account of an interview between Messrs. Broderick and Douglas, while the English bHI was pending before Congress. "On the Sabbath before the final vote on that bill, a meeting of anti-Lecompton demo crats of both houses was held at tho rooms of Seuator Broderick, to consult upon what course it was advisable to take in the emergency. A number of the weaker brethren, iooluding Sen ator Douglas, advised conciliating the South by accepting the English bill. Only four or five held out against it. Among these were Broderiek, of California, and Harris, of Illi nois. Mi. Douglas manifested a willingness to yield, and the gallant Harris 'shed tears of an guish aud gave utterance to his depair.' Mr. Broderiok rose as solemuly to his feet, and pointed bis finger directly toward Mr. Douglas, aud fastening his keen, Hashing eye upon him, said: You can vote for the English substitute if you will; but should you do 80, as sure as there is & God of truth and justice in Heaven, I will deuouoce you upon tho floor of the Sen ate for having traitorously deserted priuciples aud sold yourself to the admiuistratiou.' Tbig, we are informed, is the language to which Mr. Hickman made allusion, and tho use of which, by Broderick, saved Douglas from following his own craven desire to surrender." Camp Meeting. At a meeting of the Schellsburg Circuit Camp Meeting Committee, M. E. Church, held July 3d, 1860, tho following Resolutions were unaa imously adopted : Resolved, That the Schellsburg circuit camp meeting oomiuence Sept. 7, 1860, and bo held ou the old camp ground, near Horn's Church, same ground on which it was held last year.

C. Pieaaautvillc, Aug. '24, 1860. HOW LINCOLN MAY BE DEFEATED 1 be Sew York Herald recommends the call tog ot a Convention of all parties opposed to the election of Lincoln snd Hamlin, and a fu sion ticket, by which means it ihinkg the defeat o t io Chicago nominees may be consummate, j. It thus suggests the manner iu which the rbioy may be done : * "Bat there is u way whereby this scheme of fusion may be consummated, and it is very siui pe. Let Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane. Douglas and Johnson, Bell and Everett, meet wr B . 6 ! ! 61, u 4 lt,!ecou?enlio of M*,ur, ,f t | ley would rather have it, seven; let them take in General Houston, and let them agree among themselves to withdraw from tbis canvass, and recommend a joint stock ticket to the pwpl, including a candidate from each cf the uj great sections of the Union, and Lincoln insv be defeated. , fould like to be present at that iit'lc Convention of six or seven. The split of the Democracy at Baltimore would be nothing to the result of this Convention of Presidential aud Vice Presidential candidates. But if they should agree on a divisiou of spoils as a basis of harmony, wo should like to see their candi dates, and to read their platform. What a jumble of squatter sovereignty, eLve protection btates rights, and devotion to the Constitution' and Union it would be.—Philadelphia Dailu News. y AN ODD PAPER.—The Quid JS'unc is pub lished at Grand Junction, in the western dis trict of Tennessee. It has three editors— two for Douglas and one for Breckiuridge. ON one page is the following : "LOOK ON TUIS SIDE— THEN ON THAT !" 7he other side of this paper is a seperate and distinct "institution," tn which R. G. Adams, Esq., advocates the cause of Breckinridge and L m:c. "/or further particulars inquire with, in." 00 another page, edited by Mr. liobert G. Adams, wo find the Breckinridge and Lane ticket, headed "The only true Matioual Demo cratic J icket,' with this paragraph below: READ BOTH SIDES '—The out side of this paper is a seperate and distinct department, un der the editorial control of D. B. Gaily and Dr. N. 11. Prcwott, w.'io advocate the cause of Douglas and Johusoa in this Presidential | Campaign. The Quid *Yunc has two more pages to I spare. Couldn't it find a couple of feliows who j would be willing to go in ou them for Mr. Bell j and Abe Lincoln. Ihe London Critic, in a long review of the speeches of the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the Presidency of the American Union thus refers to his mental powers: <: lt is from the speecLes which Mr. Lincoln has from time to time delivered in opposition to Mr. Douglas, that ws gather some idea of his mental qualifications. We collect from the speeelies of Mr. Liucoln that he has a mind rather of the straight-forward than of the sub tle order; that be rather seizes apon great and prominent facts and argues them to plain con clu-ions than builds up elegant but fragile the ories upoo the treacherous basis of fanciful speculation; that he is earnest more than pas sionate, and commanding more thaD persuasive. Indeed, every one of his speeches wLicli we have read bears upou the face of it evideuce that he is "Honest Oid Abe." STRONG FOR DOUGLAS.-The Auburn Ad vertiser says that a gentleman interested in the approaching election, wishing to test the political preference of the unfortunate inmates ot the Auburn prison, did so on Tuesday, and obtaiucd the following vote : Abraham Lincoln 0 Stephen A. Dougias 082 Joau C. Breckinridge 200 The' state prison is all right for Douglas. TO w£mis. We need money—we must have it. We have a number of debts to pay by Court Week, and we hope our friends in the country, who owe us for subscription, job work and adver tising, when they come to town to attend Oouit will not forget us. If any who owe us don't come to town, just send the "needfui" with their neighbor, who does come. Don't forget, will you ? Frederick Wright aod Thomas S. McCreary, overseers, on the Central Southern Railroad, uear Columbus, Ga., whipped a slave belonging to Mr. Helm, for three hours, and than put turpentine on him and set him to work in tho hot sun. He boro up under bis injuries for twenty-four hours when ho died. A Democratic exchange says, ''Breckinridge is our candidate for President and Lane for vice."
