SHIRES, D. F. MANN, Scc'ty. Prest. MA J. S. H. TATE Is busy, this week, solicitiag votes from Whigs and those who have heretofore belonged to that good old party. W 7 e are informed by one of our men, that when S. H. Tate asked him to voto for him, he told him that he once said that he never wanted a Whig to vote for him. Maj. Tate stated that tbi< wa9 only gotten up to injure him, and that it was not true. Now, we conversed with a couple of the best citi zens of Bloody Bun, this week, who stated to us that they heard him make the asser tion. We therefore roitorate that Sam'l H. Tate did say a few years ago, in Bloody Run, that "he never wanted a W T big to vote for him." Let him dare deny this in the Gazette, and we will prove it on him. He did say it. Stick it at him, Whigs, whenever he asks you for your votes. WIDE AWAKES. Ttiis new and gallant company turned out on 1 uesday evening last, to the number of upwards of 40. The officers were, Chief Marshal, Cap*. Simon Dickerhoof; Assistant Marshals, Messrs. William Shuck, W. P. Mower and Wm. KeefTe. A better looking set of men, and a gallanter band cannot be found anywhere. They presented a splendid ap pearance with their beautiful uniforms and blazing torches, and struck terror into the leaders of the Locofoco party. This organization will be a great auxiliary to our lorces in the preseut cam paign. We observed a number of young men among the members who have heretofore been Locofoeos. Success to tbe gallant Wide Awakes! Let each election district in the County organize a Ciub, and Wide Awakes, wherever it can bedone, and we would not be surprised at several hundred majority for our ticket in tbe County this fall. The Gazette bad another lying article against Col. A. G CurtiD, iast week, with regard to his shooting a dog beloogiug to a German, and his using very insulting language against that ola.-;* of our fellow citizens. It is all false, out! nobody that is acquainted with Col. Cur tiu believes it. All manner of lies will begot ten up and used against him throughout the eampa : gn. Don't bilieve them. But what has the Gazette to say in deft nee of Samuel 11. jale? He called the Germans "D—D DU 1 will refer that paper to German citizens of this town who heard bun call them so. Get's hear about it. Col. John Scott, of Huntingdon county, was nominated A few days ago, by the Gooofucos, for Senator. He is a I'eunsylvania Railroad .:an, being Solicitor for that corporation.— .. i* ue on the tonnage tux question 1 BELLEVERETT MEETING. Pursuant to notice published in the Locofo co Gazette, and by handbills printed in the same office , the Belleverett party met in the Court House, on Wednesday evening last.— The officers of the were, President, John Mower, Esq.; Vice Presidents, V. V. Wertz, John Lyon, Win. F. Mann, and John Beeler; Secretaries, Win. Hartley and Ross Anderson; Committee on Resolutions, Wm. Lyon, Wm. Showman and Thomas Haney. The. speakers vrere Dr. J. Compiler, Win Lyon, Thomas Haney and Wm. Hartley. These constituted the whole Belleverett party pres ent, barely enough for officers. About one half of these men are Looofocos, and have been voting the whole Locofoco ticket for years, the other half are honest in their profes sions. One of the Secretaries will not vote for Bell or anybody else this fall, as he lacks about two years of being of age. He is a young gentleman of character and integrity, however. The balance of the meeting was composed of about three-fouribs Locofocos, and one-fcuitb of the People's Party. The two first speakers were bitter in denunciation of Lincoln and Hamlin. The cheering was got ten np by O. E. Shannon. a Locofoco leader of this town, in the one corner, Col. J. Cress well, a rank Locofoco Free Trader of Hunting don county in another; and the loudest noise and cheering was made by a rank Roman Catho lic Locofoco ! Mr. //.tney was very ungentlc manly forced down whilst talking upon the sub ject of the //omestead Bill, to make room for Wm. //artley to make a speech, in which all he said was in misrepresent ition of Henry D. Mooje, one ot the best and purest men in Penn sylvania. Mr. Hartley voted for Buc hainxn, and has voted a full Locofoco ticket at every election since 1856 and 9tated in bis speech that he would leave the Belleverett party whenever it suited him ! 11a will voto the full Locofoco ticket in October, and for Douglas in Novem ber ! Mark that. To the question " What State, District and County ticket, will you vote for I /its fatlV' put to WM. LYON, Esq., he answered that HE WOULD VOTE FOR FOSTER, SCHELL AND THE WHOLE LOCOFOCO DIS TRICT AJ\ D COUNTY TICKETS. Mr. Lyon is the leader of the half dozen Hell men in Bedford Borough, aod we are glad that HE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED IIIS CONNECTION WITH THE JJOCOFOCO PARTY! There were about 30 Belleverett men in the County, at least one half of whom are honest in their opiuiona— these men will now drop these candidates like a hot potato, as they have no idea of being sold out to the Locofoo>s, as the leaders in town are trying to do. Honest Bell men can now see that the attempt to sell them in New York to Douglas, and in New Jersey to Breckinridge, is to be tried in Bedford Couuty, but these men arc too honest to be gulled by these gentlemen who would if they could sell them to their life long enemies, the Locofoeos. The Locofocos made great efforts to get up a big meeting on Monday evening. They ad vertised all over the county that Foster, their candidate for Governor, would bo here, but it was only a cheat, to get a good turn-out of their dispirited and broken-down party friends. Foster didn't come! They assembled m the Court House and organized. Thero was, for ordinary times, a good meeting iu numbers, but for the exertions tney made to got a big crowd, it. was a oomplcte failure. A number of Resolutions were offered by the Chairman of the County Committee, Mr. Spang: They were neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, and ignore d the Presidential question entirely. A regular bargain was made by both wings of the party not to speak in favor of tho merits of either Douglas or Breckinridge. Dr. McGirr made the first speech. It was bitter and in bad taste, and helped our side. If the Dr. were less bitter, and use fewer fierce adjectives, he might make a pleasant speaker. Cessna's man attempted to speak next, and the people began to leave, then came Shannon, a Breckinridge man, aud he entirely ignored the Presidential question, then Mr. Schcll made a few remarks, and censured certain Lincoln men, because they oppose his election —his few words injured him. John Cessna, Lsq , held back till the last—very cuuniugly and he broke over the arrangement, made in the commencement of the meeting, and made a strong Douglas speech. He argued strongly in favor of Douglas' pet scheme of popular sovereignty, and defended bis action at Charles ton aud Baltimore, as a Douglas Delegate ; and also, defended the regularity of the nomi nation of Stephen A. Douglas. He was fre quently cheered by the Douglas men, and hissed by the Breckiuridge men. As quick as be was through, they adjourned the meeting, the organization being in the hands of the Douglas men, so as to prevent a reply by a Breckinridge man, to Cessna's address. The Breckinridge men kept their part of the arrangement in good faith, and it was not in Cessua's nature to abide by it, and be didn't. It was the most miserablo abortion in tho shape of a meeting that wo evei were at, and the Democracy adjourned in low spirits. Never in their history iu tho midst of a Presidential contest, had they to make a bargain not to speak in iavor of any candidate for President. R. iMilton Speer, Esq., the editor of the Huntingdon Union, gave us a null the other day. He is a writer ot much merit, and bar ring his politics, a tip top fellow. He's death in Duuglas, and whole hog, bristles, tail and all, for Breckinridge. BEDFORD MDUIRER. GRAND RALLY! BfeiTPm§THE PEOPLE! Tbe Hills and t allies of Bedford Coun ty in a Blaze! OED REDFORD COUNTY SURE FOR LINCOLN, HAMLIN, CURTIN AND THE WHOLE DIS TRICT 4N COUNTY TICKETS ! 1500 FREExMEN IN COUNCIL ! Locolocoisni Thunderstruck ! Huzza! Huzza!! Tuesday last was a glorious day for the Peo ple's Party of Bedford County ! Pursuant to notice in the Inquirer, the people, the ftee aDd independent people, of Bedford County, began to assemble in vast numbers, and by evening the town was crowded. In the afternoon the Lincoln boys very successfully raised two splen did poles, one 105 feet iu length, the other 721 feet, and on Wednesday morning the large old Taylor flag of '4B, was spread across the street in the centre of the town, with the glorious names of Lincoln, Hamlin aud Curtin, upon it. About six o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a large delegation from St. Clair and Uuion Townships, was escorted into town, when they marched to meet the delegation from Coleraiu Tp. After a short time the Lincoln boys from West Prov idence made their appearance. They had banners, with various mottres, aud were all ac companied by the spirit stirring sounds of the fife aud drum. The St. Clair, Uuion and Cole raiu Township delegations, had a maul, wedge, axe, and rail, which was cheered vociferously. Atter dark the W ide Awakes, a band of gal lant Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtiu boys, just started in our Borough, turned out, to the num ber of 40, in their uuifoims, each with his blazing torch, and marched around the town> and thence to Filler's Hotel, and escorted the Speakers to the Court House, where the room was already so crowded that no more could get in. The meeting was then organized by the election of the following officers: President, GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, Esq. of Napier. VICE PRESIDENTS. Hon. John Taylor, Bedford Buiougb. Jhouias Hughes, Redford Township. John 13. Castoer, Broadtop. George James, Celerain. Jacob AndersoD, Cumb, Valley. George Mullin, Harrison. John Dasher, Hopewell. John Metzgar, Juniata. David S. berkstresser, Liberty. David Evans, Londonderry. Wm. Stockey, Monroe. George Stuekey, Napier. Simon Nycuin, Providence East. Jacob barudollar, Jr., Providence West. Charles Colvin, ScLellshurg borough. John Johnson, Southampton Tp. ° Win. Kirk, St. Clair. Samuel Armstrong, Snake Serines. Thomas imler, Union. G. R. Holsioger, Woodberry Middle. Dr. Wm. Burcb, Woodberry South. SECRETARIES. David Over, bedford borou"h. Wm. Keeffe, bedford Tp. G. W. blackbutD, Sohellsburg. S. b. Cat muck, M. Woodberrv. The Resolutions offered by Hon. S. L. Rus sell, Chairman of the County Committee, wore then adopted amidst deafening applause. They will be found below. At this stage of the meeting, it was evi dently manifest that not more than one-third could get into the buildiug, as it was already so crowded thut scarcely another man could get into it. It was then moved that the meet ing adjourn to the square in front of the Court House, where a table was placed for the speak ers. It was admitted on all hands that this was the largest meeting that has convened in this place since 1840, and all our frionds feel sure alter tliis demonstration that we can carry Bedford county by a handsome majority. No effort was made to get up such an affair, and our friends were amazed, and our enemies thunderstruck. It is admitted that fully 1500 persons were on tbo ground. The Loco focos announced in thpir paper, and by band bills, we understand, that Foster, their candi date for Governor, would be here the evening beforo to address them, yet their meeting was not ODe-third as large as ours, and Foster's name was only used to get up a crowd—but they didn't come. Had Curtin been here, aud had wo announced the fact, wo believe our meeting would have been twice as great, large as it was, but we don't desire to cheat our friends to get up a crowd, like the Locofocos. The first speaker called to the stand, was Dr. b. E. DUFMELD, of Fulton County.— The Doctor delivered ODO of the most eloquent and telling speeches to which we ever listened. He reviewed the principles of the parties of the present day, and did not fail to convince every unprejudiced uiaii present, that it is the duty of patriotism, to vote for Lincoln, Ham lin, Curtin, and our whoio District, and County tickets. Our people were agreeably disap- pointed in the Doctor, as they had never heard hiin before. Tb is effort, in our opinion, shows him to be one of the best speakers in the State. He was vociferously cheered throughout his remarks, and sat down amid thunders of ap plause. HON. HENRY D. MOORE, of Philadel phia, was the next on the stand. His speech was worthy of the man. As a "straight out" Fillmore roan, he addressed a part of his re marks particularly to that class of voters, and clearly showed them that John Bell wus not entitled to tbo votes of that class of people, and that Abraham Lincoln was. He then spoke on the Tariff question, and bandied it in such a manner as we never heard before. He proved clearly, that the Locofooo party was always opposed to protection, and that the on ly hope for that desired principle, which will make our farmers and workmgmen prosperous, is through the great Tariff party, led ou by Liucolo and (Jurtin. Mr. Mooro then referred to the subject of Kansas and her wrongs, and the other great leading questions of tha day, and explained them and defended our princi ples, in tones of thrilling eloquence. Ho stands iu tho front rank of the eloquent cham pions of the right. He was also frequently applauded, and sat down amidst the wildest excitement. IION. EDWARD MoPiIERSON, our pop ular Congressman, was next on the stand, and the way that "fellow by the name of McPber sou" acquitted himself, was a caution. lie re viewed his course in Coßgress, and satisfied all our citizens that he had been true to all our cherished principles. He explained the acts of the Locofoco party, aud showed that they bad defeated the Tariff, defeated the Home stead bill, kept Kansas out of tbo Union, and wcro guilty of many other acts of wrong and oppression for which the neople will bold them responsible at the ballot boxes. Mr. McPher son'fl speech was a decided success, aod the enthusiasm our people manifest towards him, clearly proves that they intend to stand by him in the present important campaign. It is un necessary to say that his speech was eloquent and argumentative, and that it was received with vocilerous applause throughout. When he retired from the stand, cheer after cheer rent the air. IION. FRANCIS JORDAN, our own elo quent champion, was next called out. His speech was humorous, witty aud thriilingly el oquent. Ho reviewed the vote oa the Homo stead bill, the Tariff, the defeat of the Kansas bill, and the bill to abolish polygamy iu Utah, in a masterly aud statesmanlike manner. He had the vast crowd in the best of huiuor, and retired amid great and prolonged cheering. The meeting then adjourned with cheer af ter cheer, for Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin, Mc pherson, the whole ticket, aud for each of the eloquent speakers. All feel certain,after this great, spontaneous rising of the masses, that Bedford county will give a decided majority for the People's ticket this fall. On the whole, it will be a day long to be remembered in Bedford county. Resolved, That we nave the fullest confi dence in the ability, integrity and patriotism of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, the nominees of the Chicago Convention for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, and, be lieving as we do, that they will faithfully car ry out tiie principles of the Chicago platform, we enthusiastically ratify their nominations, and pledge to them our warm support. Resolved , That in Andrew G. Curtin, our oandidute fur Governor, we have a man who is honest, capable and fuiihfu! to the Constitu tion, and we arc gratified that we have the op portunity of casting our votes for such a mas, who will give additional lustre to the already bright escutcheon of our good old Common wealth. Resolved, That the nominations of Edward McPherson, of Adams county, for Congress, and of Samuel S. Wharton, of Hantiugdon county, for Senator, meet our most eordial ap probation, and wo confidently predict their triumphant election. Resolved, That we endorse most heartily the nominations of C. W. Ashcom, of bed ford county, and Edward M. Schtock, of Som erset county, for members of the State House of Representatives, and we feel well assured that they will do honor to their constituents in the plaoes to which they will ccitiiuly Le eleoted. Resolved , That our county ticket i 3 compo sed of as good men as aro to be found fn our county —men eminently worthy of the votes of all our citizen, and we promise them our uni ted aDd cordial support. Cel. S. S. YVliarton, our candidate for Sen ator, was in town for several days this week.— Ho is one of tho best looking and most popular man in his mauners in the DUtriat, and has made many friends here. He will make an able and faithful Senator, and deserves and will receive the full party vote in Bedford County. The people here feel anxious for his eleotiou, particularly as upon the vote of the Senator from this District tnay depend two U. S. Senators, one next, winter, and one two years hence. People's Meetings at which Hon. Ed. McPherjiou will be Present. At. Stonerstjwn, on Friday (this) evening. At Pattonsville, to-morrow, (Saturday) uioroing at 10 o'clock. At Woodberry on to-morrow (Saturday)even ing. Let our friends in these places turn-out and give biui a hearing. Hon. S. J3. Blair has been nominated lor re election in the Blair District. This is right good Northern men ought uot be made yearlings of. He will ba elected by a tremendous ma jority. ANOTHER FAILURE. —Last Saturday there were a nurocor of handbills stuck up all over towu announcing that ilon. B. A. Hill of Mis souri, would address the Douglas Club on that evening. Evening caiue, and4be Hon. B A. Hill didn't. The Democrats in the meeting apologized for the Hon. B. A. Hill that he was sick. The Hon. JL A. Hill gave another rea son to others, that that party didn't suit him as he was a Bell man. The Hon. B. A. Hill ought to have addressed a Looofouo meetiug— be would have beoo iu his clement, as the lead ers of the Bell party in New York, are trying to sell the party to Douglas, aud iu New Jer sey, they are trying to sell out 10 Breckinridge. In Bedford the leader of the J dozen Bell men> Win. Lyon, Esq., announces himself iu favor of Foster and the whole Locofoco ticket. By all manner of means, if the Hon. B. A. Hill is again invited to address a Bell meeting in Bedford, he ought t> Jo it—Le would be at home there. In this meeting our good natured friend Cessua made a very powerful Douglas speech unanswerable by the Breckinridge men, cer tainly. Ia tbe course of bis remarks he argued that the nomination of Douglas was regular and binding on the party, but that Mr. Buch anan said neither were regular, Jeremiah S. Black, said that Douglas' nomination was not regular, the Constitution says so, and Gen. Geo. W. Bowman says so, but that the giving by the admiuistiation of a snug position worth s>4o,- 000 or $>50,000, made some men very pliable. This was too severe a dig at Gen. Bowman, from a man who has heretofore been bis warm friend. No doubt the General feels the treatment of his old friends here quite keenly. KF~Mr. McPberaon, our candidate for Cou gress spent this week in Bedford. He made a speech at Hopewell on Sattrday last, Bedford, on Tuesday evening Bloody liuu, on Thursday evening. To-night he wili speak in Stoners town, and tj-morrow in .Middle and in South Woodberry,— thence, he goes to Juuiata, Co. where he will spend next week. The balance of the Campaign, he will spcud in Fulton, brauklin aud Adams. He is doing his whole duty, and we leel satisfied that he will be elected by an increased majority over bis elec tion in 1858. We Lope tbat Bedford County will stiod true to btr principles, and give our candidate a vote of which we may all be proud. MEETING AT STONER3TOWX. Our friends in Stoncrstown held a large meet ing on Friday afternoon last. The meeting was addressed by Col. BrisbiD of Bellefont, Dr. Wintrodo of Huntingdon, and Hon. Fran cis Jordan of Bedford. We have heard the speakers all complimented tor the able ad dresses on this occasion. The Lincoln and Curtin boys of Liberty are awakening to tbe importance of tbe present campaign, and from all our advices from tbat Township, we predict a majority for our ticket. Remember that. tt&ETING IN HOPEWELL. The Lincoln and Jurtin men of Hopewell, raised a splendid pole, on Saturday last. After tbe pole was raised there was a meeting, which was addressed by Col. S. S. Wharton, our can didate for Senator, Hon. Edward MePherson, our candidate for Congress, and by Mr. Trin batb, one of the hardy miners of that region. The speeohes were able and eloquent. It was the largest meeting ever held in that town, about 200 being present, and tbe enthusiasm was unbounded. Look out for a little political tornado from that part of our County this fall. EXTRA FEES ! Samuel H. Tate pretends to bo very friendly to some of our men, and gives them advice, as he says, gratis (poor advice in many cases it is.) He charges them for the advice in shape of extra fees! Ue has about DOUBLED THE FEES in the Prothonotary's office ! Ho charges double what all other Prothonotaries charged. If this is denied, let Democrats ask Hon. Job Mann, Hon. Jos. B. Noble, John P. Reed, Esq., or any other man who has ever been Prothonotary of Bedford County. Let them ask aDy Democratic lawyer. Let them ask Samuel H. Tate himself. 12 YEARS PROTHONOTARY! People of Bedford County, Samuel H. Tate has been Prothonotary three years : he has doubled the fees, which makes three years equal to six years of other Prothonotaries.— He now asks the office three years longer, which would, iu case of bis re-election, bo equal to twelve years of other officers ! People of Bedford County will you submit to this im position ? "TREASON! TREASON!!" This is a startling and terrific heading, and what did the Gazette mean by it last week? It states that the Breckinridge men are in collusion with the Lincoln men, to whip the Douglas men. That Mr. Peter H. Shires, the President of the Lincoln Club of Bedford, had been sent a package of Breckin ridge documents by Thomas B. Florance, for dis tribution. Now what is the truth. Somebody sent Mr. Shires tour speeches, one of Brcckiuridge, one of Buchanan, one of Benjamin, and one other that we don't remember. John Mowry, the Douglas P.M., will testify to this. If it was desired that Mr. Shires should distribute them, it is quite likely more than four speeches would have been sent.— Lincoln men don't desire to unite with the Breck inridge men, to beat Douglas, they can beat both wings united or separately, aud will do it this fall. If they would unite with any wing, the last would be with the friends of Breckinridge who leads on th,; disunion party. Republicans are for the Union, and against disuuionists. Our Congressional Candidate. It is with Jeelings of unmixed pleasure thui 11 d \| e t>' ef ° re ° Ur re * derß tbe Dan,e of Ed ward McPberson, as the People's candidate for Congress ,n this district. We have among on! ranks ober men who are well fitted f or the honorable post which he now so ably fill, • ail( i" V TtTn' WG , nJeDtiOD witfa Pde Dr. S E. DuffielJ, of Fulton, a gentleLu kooVo hroughout the State for sagach and talents, *s well as be i 8 known at Lome nd kfl ,0I,a ! Bcien, 'fi° acquirement, and skill. But wb.le we have cornet a, d deservmgmen among us whom wrewaid them. They love the man, for his geniality, his honesty of purpose, his intellectual char acter, and bife industry; and we believe that hundreds of fair dealing Democrats will be ready to do honor to him to whom honor is due aud will go to the polls in October, and help
