Importance of the Congressman.
Our friends in Bedford County, ought, by
this time, to re well acquainted with the vast
importauce of the Congressman from this Dis
trict Had not Mr. McFherson been in the
House, last winter, Mr. Pennington would not
have beeo olcotod Speaker. In bis place, Mr.
Boroek, a rnuk Jree trader, would have been
alerted Speaker. lie would Lave coostitu'ed
the Committee of Ways aud Moans, in such a
way that there would have been no Tariff bill
reported. Mr. Pennington placed in <Lat
Committee a majority of Tariff men, conse
quently that Committee reported tho Morrill
'! ariff bill, wbieb parsed the House, but was
defeated by the Locofuco Senate. It is quite
probable, from the prescDt arrangement of
parties, that the like result may occur again.
If Mr. Scbell 19 elected to Congress, although
he pretend* to bo in favor of a Tariff, his duty
to his party, and to keep his position in that
party, ho will have to vote for the Locofoco
candidate for Speaker, which in all probability
will bo Bococ-k, or some other Free Trader,who,
if be be elected, will constitute the Committee
of \\ ays and Means of a majority of Locofoco
Free Traders, who will never report a Tariff
bill at all. Thus Scbell's election would de
feat the Tariff by his voting for a Free Trade
Locofoco Speaker. It will also be seen that
he can have uo influence, as n Locofoco Con
gressman, with his party in favor of a Tariff.
John Cessna, Esq., who was a delugaio to the
Charleston Convention offered a resolution in
that body in favor of a Tariff, which was
laughed down. Mr. Henry D. Foster, tho
candidate for Governor, iu this State, weut to
\\ ashington, during tho session of Congress,
to electioneer with the Democratic Congress
men in favor of a Tariff. Ho strongly urged
them to pass the Morrill Tariff bill, stited to
them that if they did not do it, he would ce
defeated for Governor, and consequently they
would lose tho President. What was the re
sult ! Two Democrat* only in the House, and
two iti the Senate, voted for the bill. It will
thus be seen that if Henry D. Foster, their
Candida;e for Governor, with the arguments be
brought to bear on his biother Jioeofocos, could
do nothing for the Tariff, Mr. Soheli will not
be able to do even as much. His election over
McPherson may, and wo believo would defeat
the passage of a Protective Tariff bill by the
Dext Congress.
Another great reason why all who sincerely
desire tho success oI our honest standard
bearer tor President, Abraham Lincoln, should
vote for Edward HcPketsoo, aud against. VVm.
P bckell,L, that the election of Sebcll inay
make the House of Representatives Locofoco.
li suoh be tho fact, they would oppose every
aseosuro of hie administration, aud he would
-l e powerless for good to the country. If you
are aftxicus for a'change, Lincoln man, of the
i7i L Congressional District, vote for the Oon
who will be of some service to you
on the Tariff question, and on all other ques
tions to which oar party is pledged.
We absolutely consider the Congressman of
more importance than the Governor, and we
would rather 6ee any man of our party vote for
Foster than for Schcll. Foster's success
mtght not defeat tho Tariff, and could not op
pose, in Congress, the administration of Lin
coln, whilst the success of Sobell would kill
the Tariff, and in all probability make tho next
Congress against his administration. Lincoln
men, ponder well this serious matter.
SI. Clair and Fnion Townships.
LARGE MEETING.
Tho following report of the meeting of last
Saturday evening, in St. Clair, has been band
ed us by a friend. The meeting is said to have
beeu the largest Township meeting ever held
iu the County. Between four and five hun
dred persona were present from St. Clair and
Uuioo Townships, and Bedford Borough :
MR. OVER: —Pursuant i<> notice ui tho In
quirer, or e of the'largest meetings of the sea
son oati.e off in St. Olair&vilie, ou las! Satur
day night. A Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin
pole, ere hundred and twenty five feet in
length was raised on the occasion. After the
pole raising, the immense crowd of people
was called to order by Mr. Joe. 8. Riddle, and
the following ofiieers appointed:
President—A. 11. HULL, Esq.; Vice Pres
sidente, Dan'! Berkheimer, George Ziutmers,
John Fickos, Sen., Jacob Oster, John T. Ake;
Sectetarie?, Win. Kirk and Win. B\ Moorbead.
The meeting beiug organized, Dr. John H.
Wintrodc, of Huntingdon county, was intro
duced, nd delivered one of the most thrilling
and argumentative speeches we have ever had
the pleasure of listening to. The Dr. has a
greut reputation as at) orator, aud certainly he
is not overrated, as was abundantly testifieifto
on last Saturday night, as cheer after cheer
rent the air whilst he was dissecting the tbio
yclept modern Deiuouiaey.
The next speaker was cur own Fr.nk Jor
dan, and moot, uoLly did be acquit himself.—
Bedford county may well be proud of him.
The next in order Was our friend, J. H. Fil
ler. llts speech was principally to the Wide
Awakes. Filter is a good speaker, and did
the cause justice. The Bedford Wide Awajtes
were out in full numbers, and added greatly
to the display of tbo evening. The meeting
adjourned about 10 o'clock, with cheer utter
cheer tor Lincoln, Hamlin, Curtin, McPherson
and the whole Couuty ticket.
V There were not less thau 400 persons on the
ground. The fusiou, confusion and refusion
Democracy held a meeting at the same place,
iu the ulterncou of the same dtiy, and wo are
reliably informed that toe crowd numbered 74
persona, all told. K. W.

Our friends had quite a Urge meeting iu
Kainsburg, ou Wednesday evening last, some
250 or 300 voters being present. The Bloody
Run Wide Awakes, to the number of 37, wore
on hand, aud made an excellent appearance.—
Tbcy are the right kind of fellows, and will
be wiue awake uutii after the election. An
excellent speech Was made by .Mr. Jacob
Longenockcr, one of the students at the Rains
burg Seminary, and a young man of talent ;
also by tbc old wheel horse oi our party, Hon.
F. Jordan. I tie grot;st out basins in was
manifested, and all were pleased with the
meeting. Col> rain will do her duty this fall,
and no mistake.
dub IHeeling,
The meeting of the Lincoln blub, in this
place, on Tuesday evening last, was the best
attended of the season. About dark the Wide
| Awakes turned out and marched around tho
| town, with their torches and banners, making a
beautiful display. When they arrived at the
Court House, tbcy marched into the County
Hail. The room was literally jammed with
Wide Awakes, and others. Hon. F. Jordan
made one of the best speeches of the campaign,
occupying over an hour and a half in the de
livery. The enthusiasm was imuiousc. Lin
j coin and Curtin stock is fast going up.
Meeting in Union Township.
On Monday evening, the People's Party of
Union Towusbip held • meeting, iu the School
House, iu Texas, in that Towuship. Although
there was a misunderstanding as to whether the
meeting was to be held in Lewisvilte or Texas,
yet there was quite a good turn-out of our
friends. Speeches were made by D. Over and
Hon. F. Jordan. The best of feeling was man
ifested. Union is wia* awake, and no mis
take.
Major Tate—Exlra Fees.
The following are a few of the iteuis which
Major Tate has increased to about, double
what they were uoder other Ptothonolarys.—
You, voter, that had to pay Maj. Tate these
extras, will remember this when you come to
vote on Tuesday a week. Ought you to vote
for a inaß who has no more feelings for the tax
ridden people of Bedford County, than to
charge tben twice as large fees as other offi
cers. Read this statement of a few of tLe
iteuis:

BEDFORD mmmEVL
MURE FIRES !
On Saturday morning Jast, about half past
2 o'clook, a fire was discovered in a straw
stack in tbo reai of the barn of Dr. George
W. Anderson, a short distance east of Red
ford. It quickly communicated to the barn,
which was in a short time entirely consumed.
Fortunately, the Dr. had threshed his grain
and taken it to the mill. About 2 tons of bay
were destroyed. Tbo horses, harness, &e.,
were gotten cut in time to be sived. With
great difficulty the Dr.'a residence was saved.
Supposed to be the work of an inceudiary.
On Tuesday evening last, about half past
seven o'clock, a fire was discovered in the huck
part of the residence of the editor of this pa
per. The ire was betweeu the weatherboard
iGg and the log# of tho building, and was evi
dently placed there with the intention of de
stroying it. A considerable portion of tho
weatbtrboarding was consumed, and t'lo logs
considerably charred, in ten minutes more,
the building could not have been saved, as n
high wiud prevailed at the time, and the whole
central portion of the town might have been
destroyed. From the public situation of the
building, uud from the early hour, we consider
this tha boldest act of villany of the kind,
that has yet. transpired in this plaoo. It is high
time that the people of our town should be on
the alert, for there evidently is & demon or de
mons in our midst, who arc intent on destroy
ing the place.
We tender our thanks to those oitigcos who
labored so well in saving our proportv.
Henry D. Foster and the Irish.
Some d*js since we were credibly informed
that a number of tie more intelligent Irish
colors of this county were about to vote against
Henry J). Foster, for Governor. On inquiring
the reason, we were told that it w*s because
Foster, when in Congress, in 1847, voted
against the Resolution granting relief to Ire
land, at the time her people were suffcri: :>ii
the horrors of famine. We had forgotten this,
but on turning t> the records of that date, we
fitid that Foster did vote against sai l Resolu
tion, end all who wish the evidence, need or.lv
turn to the Congressional Glo'ie for the session
of 1847. page 572, or to tho Journal of the
House of Representatives for the same tear,
page 473.
It is true, therefore, that when the crop 3
had failed iI: Ireland, end hc-r peopl* were oa
the point of starvation, and suffering amidst
the horrors of fcnat dreadful '.nine, aud when
the American people cveryv.,cre were pouring
out their money nd sending their grain for
their relief, HENRY I>. FOSTER, then iu
Congress, vote J against the 4 Bill for the Re
lief oj Inlandfio wonder tho Irish are
about to pay him back now, for his refusal to
vote for their relief then, ".f friend in need,
is a friend indeed
"[MI 111 Till."
Remember, Gerinau voters of Bedford Couu
ty, that .Maj. S. 11. Tate, when, a few years ago,
Hon. John Taylor was a candidate for Count}-
Treasurer, called you "P—d Dutch" because
a few of you voted for Taylor. We can prove
this by respectable German voters of Bedford
Borough, if Tate denys it.
"Xfver Wauls a Whig to Vote for
Him."
Remember, Whigs of Bedford Couuty, that
Maj. 8. 11 . T ate, said a few years ago, in Bloody
Run, that he "never wanted a Whig to vote
for him." We can prove this by uiany respect
able citizens of Bloody Run, if Tate denys it.
Henry Clay "a Murderer."
Remember, old Oiay men of Bedford Coun
ty, that Msj. S. H. Tate, in 1844, publicly
charged Henry Clay with being "a murderer."
Wo can prove this by plenty iiviug witnesses, if
Tato denys it.
Remember, voters of Bedford Couuty, that
neither Maj. S 11. Tsle, nor bis friends, have
dared to deny these charges, nor the oiher, in
rcfereuce to doubling Ms fees.
BEWME-MIS TICKETS!
SAMUEL H.TATE is now sending out what pur
ports to he the People's Ticket, hut it has the name
of Samuel H. Tate .upon it instead of Jeremiah li-
Bowles. The same game is being played by Wil
liam P. Sch*ll's friends. They leave out the name
of Edward McPheraon and put on Schell's. John
J. Cessna and the other Locofoco candidates are
doing the same thing. Take no ticket from any
man unless you know him to be against every man
on the Locofoco ticket. Examine every ticket,
and see that every name is right.
Remember, Liucoln and Cnrtin men, when
Mr. Schell or any of his friend* urge you to
vote for him, aud agaiuat our talented candidate,
Edward McPherson, that he never voted for a
man on our ticket tn his life. That at the
election next Tuesday weak, he will vote for a
full Locofoco ticJcet, from Foster down to Aud
itor. Ask him or bis friends, whether lie will
vote for Lincoln, Curtin, or any man on our
ticket. He won't do it! Tben, don't vote for
htm. ,
Remember, of Bedford County, that
Win. P. So bail votod in he lust llouso of
Representatives against the Tariff Resolutions,
and in favor of the corrupt administration of
President Bucbanao.
The ladies of Bloody Run have presented
the Wide Awakos of that place with a beauti
ful flag. They are all good looking and intel
ligent, and for linking (Lincoln) to a man !
Which Ticket is he For ?
The foliowiog extract, is from the last Juni
ata Democrat. It wi.l be seen that that paper
states that Wiu. P. Schell, Esq., is in favor of
the fusion electoral ticket, and that ho so ex
presses himself:
"Wo understand that Mr. Scbell expresses
himself favorable to the Union Electoral Ticket,
aud no man familiar with his popularity in the
couptios of this District, can for a moment
doubt that.hi will bo triumphantly elected; and
that the citizens of our District will congratu
late themselves upon his ejection when his valua
ble services as a conservative, assiduous and
faithful representative wiil hive assured tbeoi
of his possessing Hie Jeffarsouiau qualifications
of honesty and capability,"
Now in Bedford County it is well kuown that
he favors the struisht Doogias electoral ticket
ho a tied by John Cessna, Esq. Why is this,
Mr. Sebel!? How docs it come that in Juniata
oounty, you pretend to be in favor of the fusion
electoral tick t, and in Bedford County, you
and your } any are in fuvor of the straight
Dcuglas ticket as follows:

MR. SMELL i\D ffiiU PAY.
Remember, voters of lied ford County, that
Win. P. Schell voted for the bill increasing his
pay from §suo to §7OO. That hud he voted
against tic bill, it would have been defeated.
That ho Las received by his own vote, §2OO a
year, anioiiu'ing to ?600 iu his three years'
term. That ibis vote of ScheM's costs the State,
every year, tho um of §26.000, that ought
now to bo going towards the payment of the
State Debt. Might he not, should he be vlcet
ed to Congress, consider his services of eo tuoob
impoitaceo, iike in the Legislature, thnt he
would again vote &>r giving himself czira pay !
Here is the vote froin the Legislative Record.
Road it:
Iti the Senate, on tho 7t!v April, the question of
the S2OO extra pay came up. Mr. Myer moved that
instead of the S2OO additional pay,-the annual com
pensation shall hereafter be S7OO and mileage, in
stead of SSOO and mileage, as ut present—which
was agreed to. Mr. Ely then moved to amend, that
the section shall not apply to tho members of the

16. The question was then lost by a ti o vote, 16 >o

Mr. Baldwin moved to reconsider the vote on

VOTERS OF BEUFURD ( OOTV!
Tuesday week is election day! Before an
other number of our paper roaches some of you,
the great battle in Pennsylvania will ba fought.
Are }oa ready to take part irt this great con
test? If uot, go to work now, it may not yet
be too late. See that all your Atnericau aud
Republican neighbors are out to tbo election to
vote for Ounio, McPherson, and tbo whole
ticket. Rcmetnbor, that a voto for Curtin and
the whole District and County tickets, is worth
at least ten votes for Lincoln, on the beariug
it will have on the secouu election, and on the
doubtful States. Every man who anxiously
desire* the election of Lincoln, should remem
ber this, aud get every vter out, for the whole
ticket. Towotk! To work! "Forewarned is
forearmed."
We copy tbo followiug notices in reference
to the Hon. F. Jordan from the Connollsvilic
Patriot. Mr. Jordan m ido some ten or a dozen
speeches in a recent tour to the Southwestern
counties of the State, in Westmoreland, Fay
cite, Washington and Greene :
Hon. Fr. Jordan addressed the people of
(Jniontown on the political questions of the day
and made a-powerfhl argument in favor of the
Piotettiva policy of the Republican party. —
His speech wa* highly interesting, and made an
excellent impression.
Ou Tuesday afternoon Col. A G. Curtio,
accompanied by Hon. Fraud* Jordan, J. Veech
irnd E. P. Oliphuit, Esq's., passed through
this place curoute for Greensburg. Quite a
Lrge crowd of our citizens assembled at the

bad it we wore to lose a vote on account of uot
being assessed.
Who is iMh|< Tale For ?
Maj. S. 11. Tate is electioneering with Breck
inridge men, as a Breckinridge ntac, and with
Douglas men as a Douglas man. Who is he

THE THRSTMILL TAX.
Col. S. S. Wharton, lias come out, in a Card

The Bedford County Fair commences on
next Tuesday, and continues three days. We

shoulJ be on hand with the articles of their
skill.
Broadfop and Congress.
Wo understand that the friends of Mr.

For the Inquntr.
HON. W. P. SCHELL.
Mr. OVER:—In your psper of last week,
your correspon lent, "East Providence," wish
es to know if it is true that (he Hon. Win. P.
Sehefl killed the Witness Fee Bill in tba Sen
ate. As I have been asked that, or similar
questions by other portions of the county,
I feel it my duty, therefore, as the repre
sentative from this county, t) answer that ques
tion.
lu the first place, when I went to Ilarris
burg lust winter, I had my mind on two bills
whiah 1 was very anxious to get passed, viz:
One for the sale of our County Poor House
property, the other to raiae tho fees of witness
es atteuding Court iu Bedford county, to one
dollar per day. Accordingly, on the 24th day
of January last, 1 had a bill passed through
the House, allowing witnesses one duller per
day and mileage, which bill was sent to tho
Senate for concurrence. (See House Journal,
page 152.) I called Mr. Sobeli's attention to
the bill on the 2Sth of January, and ha prom
ised to attend lo it. I called his attention to
it several times during the session, and he al
ways promised to call it up in the Senate, but
neglected to do so. 1 called on him on the 2d
of April, just die day before the adjournment.
He promised me then, that he would positively
call it up and put it through. I urged him to
do so, tod told him that 1 believed that at least
nine persons out of ten in the county wished
the bill to pass.
Alter all bid promises, he never did any
thing with it. It was not for the wntof time,
for he had all the tirno that he needed. Now,
jour correspondent from East Providence is
mistaken in supposing that Mr. Schell killed
tbo witness fee bill. He did not do that, he
only let it die. Whether Mr. Schell was op
posed to giving witnesses attending Court as
much as would pay their boarding, or wlu ther
he was determined to oppose everything that I
wished to get passed, lam unable to say. I
had two other bills, one lor the removal of the
election in St. Clair, and the ottrer for the re
moval of the election in Middle Woodbcrry
Townships, whioh were treated in the same way.
As for the Poor liouso till, the prople of
liedfoid Uoumy understood it perfectly well,
and will know wbcthor Mr. Sohell's amend,
ment made it any belter, or whether they were
calculated t> injuro it; that is for them to
judge.
1 will also here state, that Mr. Schell and
myself were on (be best kiod of terras all the
time, and he could not have treated me boiler,
only he refused to pass my bills. 1, on the
other hand, passe I all his tiiia (which were a
good many,) through the House, except one to
prevent the fishing for trout, with seines and
tots, m tho county of Bedlotd. 1 tie net wsb
to say anything calculated to injure i-aOcli,
fori entertain none but fknuf.o leci
towards hiin. My object is to give und
settle wrong impressions amongst, tt- peep ,
through the County of Bedford, cn th : ' sub

mSSILYA.II*.
Ir. the Pennsylvania State Electioo of 1856
the Fremont and Fillmore patties were alli e *'
having formed their State Ticket prior to the
nominations for President. They were pre
pared to carry, and would have carried that
Election by about Ten Thousand majoritv,
when their opponents, jmt before the day of
trial, raised iarge amounts of money, mainly
i m | l | l "ds!'- T ' U P therewith soma uoutt
j Obliy r ill more leaders, fabricated and distribu.
Ed whole tiuoksfull of counterfeit Naturali

grand surge of corruption and fraud, bv some
Ihree rnousand majority. This triumph of
Sham Democracy was simply a gig a „ tic win .
die, as was judicially proved i 0 a contest of
he elcctton ot Dtsrrta Attorney in Phila
delphia, and still lurther established by tbo
Covode Invest,gat.ou. And that swindle se
cured the elevation of James Buchanan to tbe
Pieeidcuey, and so—io the slang G f the day
—"saved the Union." If the Uuiou could in
truth only he saved by such means, would It
be really worth saving?
At bet two last State Elections, Pennsylva
nia has been cariied by the united Opposition
or "People's Party" by an average majority of
iwenty ihousuud; and that parte, in full
Convention, has nominated Col. Andrew G.
Cartio for Governor hitU sent delega'o to
Chicago who there procured tbe nomtoaliou of
Abraham Lincoln tor President. They had
the choice among ail tbe candidates outside of
Pennsylvania, and they deliberately aud unani
mously cbosc Mr. Liucoln as tbe man who, by
his known antecedents, his personal character,
aud bis well understood principles, was the
very man to combine their suffrages and carry
their state, liteir voice was foremost among
the iufiueuces which secured his Domination.
A very smali segmeut of the People's party
bus boiled mis nomination, aud pretends t>
support John Bell, along with the little band
oi Democratic stool-pigeons who, hilhetto
calling themselves "Straight Americans," have
for years been hired and used to distract tbe
Opposition ami aid the parly in power. (Sea
S. J. Alegargee'a testimony beiore tbe Printing
Investigation Committee.) These together are
uuw diag-dougtng a lot of bells with the plain
intent o! gtvtug aid and comfoit to tbe Na
turalization swindlers of 1856. But how can
tuey deceive anybody? They have no Bell
Electoral lioket, and do uot menu t> have any,
unless us a blind ; their votes w,)I be given for
inose vno have repeatedly bought and used
them. 1 heir immediate business is to abstract
as many vote* from Curtm as possible, and
thereby secure tbe election of Henry D. fos
ter, the Fusion Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
We trust this unprincipled coalition is to bo
beaten, but it will require the utmost exertions
ot the Lincoln men of Penusyivauia. They
have the supporters of Douglas, Breckicridgu
aud Bell all corabiued on Foster, which will
give- him thousands of votes that caanot bo
uutted ou any conceivable Electoral Ticket.—
The utmost efforts of the Republicans aud
People's men must be put forth to securo
Curtin's electiou, and to this eud we tuake a
linal and urgent appeal.
MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA .' you sfaad in tbo
Thermopylae of this momentus struggle ! You
can see that the triple-beaded adversary can
not combine ull its forces on a common Elec
toral ticket—lhat the Douglas men spurn the
idea of voting for Breckinridge, and have
Dominated a clean Electoral Ticket—that tho
Adopted Citizens canoot ha induced tj vote
for Bell Electors, while thousands now acting
as Bell mcu cannot be induced to vote a Fusion
Ticket Irorn which the names of Bell aieu are
excluded. But the country cannot, will not
see this; aud the great multitude of hesitat
ing, dubious, indifferent, will regard Curtin's
defeat as putting the Otaie against Lincoln in
November. Such a result in October would
be bailed by our motley adversaries as a death
blow to our cause, sn l would aid them in
(using aud unitiug their incongruous factions
into one common party. Elect (Jurtiu, and
ihe Presidential contest is decided ; let biin be
defeated, aud wc shall have to struggle des
perately to the close of the pells in November.
By the sacred memories of ludepeuuenoe 11*11,
ot Brandywiue, of Valley Forge, of German
town, we entreat you to do your very utmost
for Gurtin auu your Uougresauien iu the Octo
ber Election !—JV. Y. Trib.
