In 1852, the first election was held in this Congressional District. Hon. Sam'l L. Rus sell, of Bedford, was the Whig candidate, and Hon. Joel B. Danner, of Adams, the Demo cratic. The canvass was that of the Presiden tial election, and the Democrats were in great hopes of carryiug the District. These hopes were chiefly based upon the popularity of Mr. Danner, who bad previously carried Adams county for several offices, and was popular with her people, and, it was supposed, could carry the county, and tnus secure his election. Mr. Daoner spent '.ho campaign at home, managing Adams, aud the Democrats were led to be lieve that the game was in their own hands. The Whigs of Adams were as gallent meD as ever gathered around any banner. They saw the danger, and realized that upon their activity the result might baug. They deter mined to leave no effort untried to save the District and elect the excellent and uuexoep- tioQable candidate presented by Bedford and nominated by the Conference. They deter mined to contest every inch of grouud. They organized the county as it never had been be fore, piesentid the importince of the office, the principles at (take, and they urged the du ty of an undivided support of the chosen can didate- Day and uigbt they labored, and the result was, Adams was carried for the Bedford candidate, aud his majority in it was substan tially his majority in the District. Had Ad ams faltered, the District would have been lost. 1 Now, positions are reversed. The People's candidate resides in Adams, and the Demo cratic iu Bedford. The opportnuity is given tor us in Bedford to reciprocate the former gallantry and disinterestedness of our friends in Adams. Wo have the opportunity of re paying them by a cordial, decided and enthu siastic support as Adams, in 1852* gave our candidate. Adams has presented an unexcep tionable candidate. Let us rally around bim, give his election an active and sincere support, and show onr sister counties that Bedford is not insensible to, but deeply and keenly feels, the obligation resulting from the splendid dis interestedness of our brethren in Adams to their principles and candidates. MR. SCHEIE'S VOTE IX BEDFORD. In 1857< when Mr. Scbell was a candidate for State Senator, the Democratic party was united, and our party was divided into two.— There for Governor, and There was no fear of the defeat of Gen. Koontz, and but little effoit was made to in terfere with Mr. Sobell's efforts to get votes from onr side. Besides, there was a local feeling in his favor. Yet with all this, he re ceived, as the returns show, but 119 of our votes. Packer's majority was near 400, and Mr. Sohell's 238 over it. It is idle to sup pose that 119 of the People's votes will now be cast for Mr. Scbell, or any Democratic can didate. There is every reason why every man should stick to the ticket, and especially wbv so important a candidate as the Congressional should be adhered to with teuacity. Mr. Scbell and his paity represent principles and policy opposed to those of the best, interests of the country; and the time demands that men should be chosen who are fully pledged to a reform of the Government, and whose ri o "*"- ' Ihfciirflftl'fU.iJt !i>- ' BEDFORD INQUIRER. Extra Fees! We have been making the charge nearly every week for the last couple of months, that Maj. Samuel H. Tate, did, after be assumed tbe duties of the office of Prothouotary of Bedford Couoly, iucrease the fees to double what they were under other Ptotbonotatys. The follow ing are a few of tbo principal items: Under Tate. Under other officers. For entering Judg ment Note, 1 08 62 J For entering Judg ment on Tran script from Jus tices' Docket, 78 87 J Swearing Constables, 75 25 Tbe first two of these items, entering Judg ment Note, and eutering Judgment on Tran script from Justices Docket, comprise, probably , three-fourths of the fees of that oflice. Messrs. Job Maoo, Jos. B. Noble, John P. Reed, Dan iel Washabaugb, aud all other Prothonotary9* of Bedford County, were satisfied with the old , charges as seen above, but Major Tate, doubled the fees, and now wishes to be contiuued iu \ office for three years longer, lie charges foe sweariug in Constables just three times as muob i as other Prothouotary, although last spring, ! being a candidate for re-nomioatioD, and re- I eleotion, bo charged them nothing, expecting t) make a little capital out of it, but which he I could well afford to do, as he had received from ' those officers io two years as much as other Prothouotary had received in six years. We uare Tate or the Bedford Gazette to depy this matter. We can prove it by tbe former offi cers we h:tva named above, we can prove it by any Deoiooratto Lawyer in towo, we can prove it from the records, we oau prove it by S. FT. Tate himself. His three years in office, have beeu equal to other Protboootarya' six yean, if he should he re-elected, it will make his six years, equal to other Prothoootarys' twelve years. A man that has no more feeling fur the tax payors of than Samuel H. ' Tate, does not deserve their support for a seo- !' end tertn. MEETING AT BLOODY RUN. On Thursday afternoon, tbe People's Party of Weit Providence Township, raised a boavi tiful pole, in Bloody Run. In tbe evening tbe Bedford Wide Awakes, accompanied by a con siderable number of tbe citizens of our town, anived in that village. The Wide Awakes marched around tbe town uud presented an elegant appearance in their tasteful uniforms, and with their blazing torches. Tbe oroird, at least 300 beiug present, assembled in front of tbe Hotel of"our friend John A. Gump, where the meeting was organized by tho ap poutment of M. M. Peebles. £sq., us Presi dent ; EZIKIEL COOK, JOSEPH MORTIMORE, DAVID SPARKS aud WILSON MCDANIXL, as Vice Presidents; and Jamet M. Barndotlar and Wm. Diberl , as Secretaries. After the organization of tbe meeting. Hon. Edward McPherson. wa called upon, and made a lengthy aud powerful address in defence of the People's Party, aud the action of our friends in the last fjongress. His speech was a decided success, and the gallant sons of that township, will testify their good will to him by giving him a large majority on the second Tuesday of October, next. Addresses were made by Messrs. Wm. R. King and D. Over. The meeting adjourned inlhe best of spirits.

The last Gazette baa an article io which it attempts to clear Mr. Sobell of charge of having voted for the increase of pay in the Sen ate in 1858. Now, here is an extract frooi the Legislative Record, of that year: Io the Senate, on the 7tX April, the question of the S2OO extra pay came up. Mr. Myer uiored that instead of the S2OO additional pay, the annual com pensation shall hereafter be S7OO and mileage, in stead of S6OO and mileage, as at present—which was agreed to. Mr. Ely then moved to amend, that the section shall not apply to the members of the presi nt Legislature. Not agreed to—yeas 15, nays 16. The question was then lost bv a tie vote, 16 to 16—SCHELL voting yea. Mr. Baldwin moved to reconsider the vote on section fifty-seven, to iuctease the pay of the mem bers two hundred dollars. Agreed to. Aud the. section passed—yeas 16, nays t4, as follow, viz : \ kas—Messrs. Bed, Coffey, Cresswell, Finney, Francis, Gazzam, Gregg, Harris, Ingram, Marselis, Myer, Randall, Rutherford, SCHELL, Straub and Wilklns—l6. NAYS— Messrs. Buldwin, Brewer, Buckalew, Craig, Ely, Evans,Fetter, Knox, Laubach, Schaef ter, Steel, Turnoy, Wright, aud Welsh, Speaker— • From this it will be seen that Mr. Scfiell ; voted Jor the Law, when it was defeated ly a tie vote. It will also be seen that when the ' vote was reconsidered Mr Schetl voted far the | bi/l, and it was passed, by a vote of 10 to 14. ! Had Mr. Scbell voted against it even on tbc j re-consideration, it would have been defeated | by a tie vole. One week afterwards, Mr. Scbell, when he found out how unpopular his vote was at home, attempted to wriggle oat of tho re sponsilility of bis vote, by offering a motion to strike out what he had caused by his own vote to be passed. He knew that this would not be done. Why did he not vote against extra pay on the 7th of April 1858? Had he done so,mem' ben of the Legislature would now be only re ceiving SSOO, instead of S7OO. Scuell gave the CASTING VOTJS in favor of giving away the people's money. He voted far it, he wanted the money, he took it, and put it into his own pockets. Let him disgorge now the S6OO extra j pay that he voted himself —that's just what it j amounted to in the three years. If So bellhau! J be elected to Congees*, what guarautee have we that be may not vote for again raising the salary, and pocket the money, a9 be did in tbe Senate of Pennsylvania, in 1858 t JOHN SCOTT. This gentleman resides in Huntingdon Cvun ty, and is the candidate of lbs Locofoco party of this D;strict for Senator. John Scott is the candidate, Attorney, and particular frieud of John P. Anderson, who boast# that he bas made $250,000 off the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and that be will spend $20,000 to defeat Col. Wbartou and elect Sootr. He had bolter save this money, as tho freemen of this district are not made of purchasable material. John Scott is aieo the Attorucy of the Penn sylvania Rail Road Company and in favor of the repeal of tbe three tonnage tax, whilst that Company opposes Col. Wharton. Bedford Jo., opposes tho repeal of the tooaga tax, and will roll up a majority in favor of Col. Wharton who opposes the repeal. -. Our frieud of tbe Huntingdon Union is in formed that it is inexpedient for us to give names. We would quietly hiutto him, howev er, that we would not be surprised if he him self should not only vote for Col. Wbarton, but that ho would go our whole ticket.— Stranger things than that will happen ai the next election. Somerset County in 1850, had a population of 24,410, according to the last census, she has 20,805, only increasing 2449, si n ,>e then. In 1850 she was a few hundred ahead of Bed ford County. In 1800, we think our County will be found to be several thousand ahead of her.

The fusion press that are denouncing and de voring each other on "noftono/questions," but who ulFeot a great degree of admiration for Henry 1). Foster, have been publishing a series of slanders and libels against (Jol. Andrew (jr. Curtin, relative to bis position towards the German citizen* of Centre County. These slaudcious reports, at first originated and put in circulation by the Bericftter , the Geruiau organ ot the "Democracy" of Centre county, b&ve at length attracted the attention of the German friends and neighbors of Col. Curtin, aDd the indigoation which these stories creat ed, forced the Bertchter to make the following statement and retraction : '*! the last number of the Berichter we published an article iu which Col. Andrew G. Curtin, opposition candidate for Governor, is charged with having uttered disrospeotful lan guage against the Germans, in a speech made last May iu Beilefonte. The import of the ohaige against him was common talk in the neighborhood of Zion, and natuially spread its way'until it reached our ears; and, as a mat ter of course, it is our province to leave noth ing undone that is fair, wftioh might add to (•ho 80C3C88 of tbo Democratic nominee for Governor, Geo. Henry D. Foster. However, we bad a ligbt to entertain a higher opioiou of Col. Cart in, as a citizen of this oounty, than to lend himself to the utterance of insult to | tba Germans in question. It is far from us to be willfully unjust and unfair towards Col. j Curtin, and are willing that justice be done bim, though the Heavens fall. We cheerfully j accept Mr. Strubble's exoneration of Col. Cur tin in the matter, as it becomes our duty, as j well as it is the duty of every honorable Dem ocrat to diecountenauce falsehood in every io- I stance. If we have been misinformed by common rumor, wo are as ready to undeceive i the public." The following cards from two of the most respectable and intelligent German citizens of Centre county, completely destroys the calum ny. They were addressed to the editor of the Berichler. We ask our German friends to give them a careful perusal:— ZJOW, July 13, 1860. FREDERICK KURTZ, ESQ. Dear bir : —in your last paper I notiee you charge A. G. Curiiu, Esq., with having said in a speech in Bellefoute, in May last, "that a Dutchman is not like another person ; be Las two sculls, and in order to get an idea into Lis head, you must first smash one of his sculls." As this story has been circulated for some time in this neighborhood, and 1 am quoted a9 authority tor it. lam much pleased to do justice to Mr. Curtiu, by a plain statement of how it originated. ri lo Msy last 1 had a trial in court, and Mr. Cuitio wus my counsel. Duriog the progress of the trial some person remarked iu Mr. Cur tin ot Mr. Wilson's office (who was also one ot my lawyers) that it was hard to'understand the suit; and i remarked that there was no trouble in understanding it, except by ibe double sculled Dutch. 1 repeated this after, wards iu the street, and on my return home told it. Mr. Curtin said oothiug of the kind, and I do not know that he was even prexeut when I made the remark. What I said was without malice and intended for a joke. Being a Dutchman myself, I did not expect to excite any person by what 1 said, aud ceituiuiy did not expect that it would be charged on au iu noceut party, to his injury. I trust you will publish this explication and acquit Mr. Curtin of a charge of which he is innocent. Vours, Ac., LOT STIt'JBBLE. TLESSR?. EDITORS :—I understand a report is in circulation that lam the. autirar of the "skull story" circulated to damage itb<* io^er- ests of Col. Curtin. I state th t this is not ao ; I repeated merely what I heard others say. JOHN MUSSKEL It is nut possible that cither the organs of the Douglas and Rreckinridge factions will re publish these contradictious and retractions, but we have a right to demand their insertion in those newspapers that gave credence and circulation to the original slander. Truth and a just regard for the courtesy and honor gov erning the actions of men, dictates this de mand. The intelligent Germans of Pennsyl vania, t least, will understand how their creduality is estimated by men who hope to sway them in their political upiuion by (he iu ▼•otioo of stories appealing to their pride and prejudices. The denial of the Beric.'Uer , with the bold and frank oards of Messrs. Strubble and Musser, sustain us iu our former assertions, that DO uoan stands higher among the German population of the tallies of his Dative county, than Andrew G. Curtin. The slanders by which his enemies hoped to dumage his pros pects, have recoiled on themselves, and created a new element of home strength for the Re publican candidate for Governor.— Hitrrisburj Telegraph. The Bedford Gazette published this slauder will it now have the manliness to publish this oouiplt'ie refutation ? We suppose not, judg ing from its ooursu heretofore. for the Inquirer. New York Letter. NEW YOBK, Sept. 3, 1860. FRIEND OVER :—Aft6r finishing my tour, and being safely lanced on Manhattan Island again, 1 suppose a letter would not be unao ccptabie lo the readers of the "Inquirer." 1 left Bedford on Monday morning, 13tb of August, last. At Huntingdon, whera 1 had to lie over several hours, 1 made tha acquaintance of several native Liueoln and Uurtin men, one of whom is one of the editors of the Reoubli- oan paper there. Tbey gave me the gratifying information that old mother Huntingdon would oouie nobly to tbe rescue of Pennsylvania from tho corrupt domination of the so-called Democ racy. As for the Bclleverett party, it would make little if any show, because the great ma jority of those who would prefer that ticket have come to the sensible conclusion that eve ry vote cast for Bell is juet nelping the dem ocratic party. These gentlemen did not seem to apeak at a veuture, but from a thorough knowledge of the subject, 1 also made the acquaintance of several quiet, intelligent men from Lancaster county in your State. They assured uie that Lancaster would be more thao herself at the October and November elections. The people were so thoroughly dis gusted with Buchanan and democracy, that hundreds of men who hardly ever voted be fore, would vote this fall, and help to stamp the people's seal of oondemnatiou on the ve nality and villainy of the so-called democraoy. On the Allegbenies 1 fell in with a man—a business man from East Liberty, near Pitts burg. He said that his business led him to travel much over Western Pennsylvania, and brought him iu contact with every class of people, and that tbe western part of tbe State was aroused—that tho wickedness of tbe dem ocratic patty uud tho fairness of Liooolo's and Cut tin's principles, are turning the masses ev erywhere in favor of the better men. The prairies of the west are ou fire, lo Indiana I met several of the candidates for State offioes, who bad been for weeks stump ing the State. They informed mo that the masses were everywhere in arms, and marshal ing uuder the banner of Lineolo. Of this 1 bad evidence all along the line of our travel. Politios was the exciting topic iu tho oars and at all the stations. The great majority of the people seemed to be Rcpublioaus. Flags streamed from Lincoln poles, Lincoln banners bung out of windows, drums heat for Lincoin, and parties were failing mto line to att nd Liuoolu meetings in many places along tho route. But I saw no sue a demonstranou-, for any other candidate. In Illinois tho excitement is iateese. It i entirely bctwoen Lincoln aud Douglas. There arc few 801 l or Breckinridge men to be n>! with.

Iu conversation, Lincoln is exceedingly in teresting. Flashes of wit, good sense and pre found reflection abound iu it. There is a sub stratum of good practical common souse, and a breadth of thought in his conversation, which give it the true ring statesmanship. He ueed but be seen a few moments to satisfy any oue that he is an honest, straightforward, prac tical loan —a man who believes what be pro fesses, aud will carry out what he promises and attempts. He is a man of the people and for the times. He arose to his lofty position from among the people, aDd he has about bim their feeliogs and ways. His popularity in Spring field is immense. Everybody talks about him, and has some pleasant reminiscence (o tell of bim. J he room in which ho receives visitors is an ordinary one, plainly furnished with some half dozen ill-mated chairs, a sofa, a desk, and sev eral large maps of the Union hung OD the walls. Everything smaks of a real republican ufo. V hen we entered the room, my friend inquired or a young man at the desk wheiher Mr. Lincoln was iu.
