S. 11. Tate—How fan a Member of
the People's Party Vote for Him ?
The following extract from the BEIUTORD
INQUIRER of 21st October, 1859, will show
the foul mewns resorted to by S. H. Tate Esq.,
to defeat Judge Taylor. Dan any ol our
friends vota for him under the circumstances!
Read the extract, which is true as gospel:
* "To show t'be desperation with which the
leader* of the Lo-*>foco irty fought to ksep
down the vote of Taylor, we will state a few
facts. We are informed that S. fl. Tate, the
Proihenotary, went up to men of his own par
ty, on election day, and pulled tickets out of
their hands with Taylor's name in tbom, aud
which they wanted to vote, tore them up, aud
farced them to vote the whole ticket. Next
fall this same man will go to sotue of our vo
ters with tears in his eyes as large as apple
dnuvplings, begging theui to vote for him.—
Voters of Sr. Clair nnd other districts, remem
ber this, and stick it at him."
ARE THERE ONLY 250 BRECK
INRIDGE MEN IN B CD FORD
COUNTY?
JOHN CESSNA, E;-Q., addressed a meeting of
the straight Douglas men of Philadelphia, on
26th u!t. In that speech he proclaimed him
self a straight Douglas matt, and says "that
out of 2,500 voters in Bedford, at least 2,250
are for Douglas." Is this corroo;? What
think you of it, Breckinridge men! The lead
er of the straight Douglas Stite, District and
Comity tickets, taunts you, nnd boosts that
there arc only 250 of you in Bedford county.
Here is en extract from his speech :
"He had not couie there tor the purpose of mak
ing a speech, but simply to let them know that he
had a willingness to assist in the cause in which
they were enlisted. Tie lived in a county which
had been famed heretofore for its devotion to James
Buchanan, and he coiil l assure bis hearers that out
of 2,-500 voters in Bedford, at least 2,2-50 were for
Douglas. [Applause.] At home be was a member
of a Douglas club and nothing else."
ATTEMPTED BARGAIN AND
SALE!
The Douglas, Breckinridge ami Bell leaders
of this State, have been for some tune attempt
ing to hatch up a j fusion electoral ticket The
Douglas men wete to have ten electors, the
Bell meu ten, and the Breckinridge men only
seven, although Ihero are ten Breckinridge
UJCB in the State to one Bell man! So anx
ious are the Douglas cod Sebell men to beat
Lincoln, that they arc williug to give toe hand
ful of Bell men over oue third of the electors!
What a strange conglomeration! the Breckin
ridge disuuionists, Die -Dmglas squat tors, and
the Bell tueo, all uniting to prevent the people
from eiectiog a President, and atleuiptiug to
cheat the hoi est yeomanry of the country.—
They have not been able to accomplish the
matter yet, nor do we believe tbey will be, but
it they do, Abe Lincoln will break down all
■each corrupt bargains.
Recoileet every candidate on the Locofoco
S'ate, Dial net, and county tickets, is in favor
cf be straight Douglas ticket, headed by
J-ua Cessna, Esq.
ATTEMPTED FJUID.
We have reliable information to the effect
that certain over-zealous friends of the Hon.
W. F. Schell have been attfeorptiog te bubo
certain of oar friends in different parts of the
County with money, to betray Mr. McPbersou
by distributing our tickets with Siheli's nnmo
in the place of MoPbersoo's. So far as we
can learn, these efforts hare thus far beeD un
successful; but there may be instances yet un
known, in which they may have succeeded bet
ter. The fact, however, proves the despera
ration of our foes, and calls upon our friends
everywhere to exercise the greatest vigilance,
aDd scrutinize every ticket, to see that the
names of McPherson, and Wharton, and all
our other candidates, are upon every ticket.
All such persons are cautioned to hear m
mind the following Act of Assembly:
''lf any person shall give or bestow auy
such gift or reward, in orler to procure any
person to bo elected, or shall promise or at
tempt, either directly or indirectly, to coufer
aay such gift or reward for such purpose, or
shall attempt or endeavor to influence uny vo
ter by auy offer or promise of any appoint
ment, employment or pecuniary beuefit, or by
threats of Joss of any appointment, employ
ment or pecuniary benefit, he shall, on convic
tion, be flued in a sum not less than one huu
dred dollar®, nor exceeding ouo thousand dol
lars, and suffer imprisonment not less than one
ucr more than twelve months."— Purdon's Di
gest, pane 292, Sec. 101.
Beli Men Read.
The following is an extract from the speech
of Hon. ThudJeus Stevens, delivered at the
Oooper Institute, New York, ou the 27th ult.
Bell uian, read it, and vote for Curtin, next
Tuesday.
Of Messrs. Bell and Everett 1 have iit-le
to say. 1 know the head of that ticket well.
A more pure or able man can hardly be found.
In most things be agrees with the Republican
party, lie is in favor of the protection of
American ludustry. He believes that Congress
has sovereign power over the Territories, lu
one thing only do we differ. In hostility to
modem Democracy we cordially agree. —
Hence it astonishes ute to see his friends ir. the
directing their hostility ag.inst the
Republicans, and coalescing wuh Democrats.
No one is mad enough to suppose that Boil can
bo elected by the people or t ie House of Rep
rescntatives. IF, by possibility, they could
give a Free-Stite to Douglas or Breckinridge,
'it would only send the election t> Congress,
where Joe Lane, the mast uulic of the whole
lot, would be made President, What would
the friends of Bell gain thereby ? The s torn
of both parties the lavor of none. How
different would it be if Lincoln were elected.
His administration cannot be a sectional one
for that would violate the principles of Kepub
iiaunism. lie must select a portion of his
Cabinet and uiauy of bis office-holders from
the South. Where should be go for them but
among the Southern Opposition. No where
could be find truer or safer men. What Re
publican would object to such men as Bil cr
E heridge, B t:s, Bates, liayner, or H Whi
ter Davis. The Protective ay-tern bus no
truer or abler men tbau the Southern Bell men.
Why should Northern Bell men outlaw them
selves from the sympathy and the patronage of
the Republican Administration ? The Repub
licans tu tiie last session of Congress showed
their freedom from sect onal or pariy bigotry
by giving iwo oi their host oiS:es to uien out
side the party —to an Anti-Leooinpton Dumo
oiat and to a South American. Ttuv were
elected solely for tueir merits, without pledge
or condition. There has been no reason to
regret the confidence reposed in them. Why
should not the whole Opposition in the North
support Liucolo, iu the South Bell. A cou
juuctiou between tbo Bell men and the Demo
crats is forbidden by nature and against all
deceoroy. Let all wuo are really opposed to
Demociatio corruption work together. If not
in the same field, let us say iu the fraternal
Language of Abrabam to bis brother Let, when
about to part: "Lit there be no strife between
me and thee : go thou to the south, wc to the
uoith: there is room enough tor both."
BR AG! BRAG!!
John Cessna, Esq., returned from Philadel
phia, several days ago, and has reported that
the Douglas and Breckinridge men had united
in Pennsylvania, and that, in consequence,
Philadelphia, would give 15,000 majority for
Foster. This is all manufactured out of the
whole cloth. They are now further from fusing
than ever. At their la t eff >rt a few days ago,
they broke down, and have given up all hope of
fusion. There will be two seperato tickets m
the field this fall, a Breckinridge one, aud a
Douglas one. It is also, alt nonsense about
Foster getting any majority in Philadelphia at
all We have seen letters from soine of our
best and most reliable men, which state that
Col. Andrew G. Curtin, will get from 1000 to
5000 in that city, lie will he elected, by at
least 20,000. Mark this. Cessna only re
ports this in the vain hope to iutuse confidence
into their shattered party in Bedford county!
Their attempt to uuite in Pennsylvania has
most ingloriuusiy failed ! Brag is now their
game! They can't frighten anybody.
FALSE"TICKETS.
If any person don't believe that the Locofocos
have counterfeited our tickets, we have a couple
that were print jd in the Gazette office, and handed
to us by a friend, to whom they were given by a
Locofoco, and which we can show to any one
They have the names of Scbell,Tate and Cessna,
upon them. Look at your tickets carefully before
voting, aud see that the names of McPbersou.
Wharton, Bowles. Mullin, and all the other names
on our ticket, are on it.
The " Wide Awakes" turned out in full force
on Wednesday evening. They marched around
town, and stopped in the square, arottn I the Lin
coln pole. Speeches were mule by .Messrs Francis
Jordan and John H. Filler. Mr. Filler give the
"Peter Funk, mock auction, drop pocket book,
pinchbeck watch, bogus coin," Belleverett leaders,
some severe digs, that were duly appreciated. Af
ter they were done speaking, the Locofocos got up
a little meeting, but tbey accomplished nothing.
TAKEN DOIVN DOUGLAS.
The Chambersburg Valley Spirit, has taken down
trio name oi Douglas and Johnson, and hoisted
Breckiniidge and Lane. The Locorocos of Frank
lin County, are nearly all tor Breckinridge. As the ■
election approaches the fight amongst the divided
Democracy grows more hitter.

receive it, before voting it. Rally !

OUT !! TURN OUT!!! and a glori

IS THE MARKET.
The persons who control the I3ell movement,
the leaders of the party, we meau, met in Ilar
risburg, a few days ago, and plaoed in nomina
tion a Bell electoral ticket. They, however,
appointed a committee to withdraw any number
of them, or all of them, before the election, if
necessary This is evidently placing thrmselves
in the market! The whole ticket, in all pro
bability, will he withdrawn before the olestion,
and a bargain, and sale will b made by which
they will attempt to sell the rank and file of
the honest Bell men ti Douglas and Breckin
ridge. Honest Americans, you who have al
ways opposed Locofoco corruptions, will you
allow yourselves to be sold into the ranks ot
your ancient enemy. We know you will not.
PEOPLE' MEETIYUS.
A meeting of the people'* party was held
in Pleasantvilie, on Friday afternoon, last. A
beautiful pole w>s raised, with a flag, on
which wis iun-rihc !, "Lincoln, H audio, Cur
tin and protection to American Industry."
About 200 were present. A Urge dclega'in
from St. Clairsville, with banners, was pres
ent.
Speeches were mide hy D Over ari l II n.
A. King. The best of feeling wis manifest ;d.
A large tutting was held iu Palo Alto, on
Monday evening, iiou. Fr. Jordan addressed
the as-etnhlagn. London leny wdl do well
this fall.
A meeting wis also held on Tuesday night
in Lewisville, Union Tp. It was quite large
and enthusiastic, and addressed bv Hon. Fr.
Jordan.
NEW YORK FUSION^-ANOTHER FAIL
URE.
The attempt at fusion in New York his
again fulled. James T. Br.idy, the Breckin
ridge candidate for Governor, denouuees the
attempt at bargain and sale on the part of
some of ihe party leaders there, ia the strong
est style. The whole thing has consequently
broken dowu, ond the State has been given up
to Lincoln. There will bo no more attempts
at fusion in that State, and Lincoln will carry
it by from 75,000 to 100,000 majority.
THE ioilil TICKET."
Congress—W. P Schell, Bedford Borough.
Prothonotary—Samuel 11. Tate, Bedford
Borough.
Sheriff—John J. Cessua, Bedford liar.
Freemen from the country, will you submit
to this. Will I'ou stand back, an 1 allow a few
Borough managers to have all the ofli;cs worth
having in town. If not, voio against the whole
"Borough Ticket."

THE FAIR.
The Fair has been the best that has ever

We understand that Messrs. Wa. Lyon, Jno.

FOSTER AGHAST THE STiiU
IM; IRISH.
The more closely we investigate the undistin
guished career of the democratic candidate for
Governor, duriog the period he served ig Con
gress, tho more we are persuaded of his unfit
ness for the trust t which he aspires. Hie
whole political action, as disclosed by bis votes
in the joura d.s, and by his speeches on various
occasions, exhibit* a uarrow, contracted, and
prejudiced partisanship, uuiodeetned by auv
exceptional effort at liberality. The selfish
instincts of ouo wLo sought to propitiate favor
by pandering to low appetites aud tastes, ate
coustantly visible. No siug'ie instance can be
cited where he ever rose to an olevtjd percep
tion of hi.- position and its duties in tho House
of Representatives. And ho recognized no
higher rule of duty than tbe most submissive
ami unquestioning obedieuee to the eomimnds
of party, indifferent how they affected tho pub
lie inteiests, or touched the more immediate
wnlfire of his own constituents. Do moo rut ic
discipline, and that only, was his recognized
standard of political obligation. We have al
ready hud occasion to show the cold aud heart
less indifference which actuated his couduet as
a member of the L gtsla'ure, upon the heels ol
the financial crash that paralyzed our prosperity, I
closed our furnaces, stopped our mills, stleuoud S
the happy hum of industry, aud turned out
thousands of workiogmcn from cuiplojmeut, to j
seek a precarious subsistence for themselves :
and their wives and children at au inclement i
season.
There is another occasion, however, which 1
also claims a:tmtiou at this liiue. Our readers ;
wiil remember witli what painful and thrilling \
emotion the intelligence was received through
out tiic oouut y, of the terrible famine which
spied tribulation over Ireland iu 1817, blasting
the subsistence of tho people, nui scattering
death and des ilatton like a plague through the
lan 1. Among tbe most cherished of our re
collections is the spontaneous au I generous I
response with which that call upon hmunity '
wis answered by the American people. Cities,!
communities, aud individuals vied with cacti
otier in being foremost iu the offices of Chris
tian charity, aud the prayers of the nation
ascended with tho offerings of a beautiful be
nevolence. Among other movements of relief
Mr. Crittenden introduced a bill in the Senate
of the United.States, oo the 26tb of February,
1847. (See Congressional Globe, vjlurue 17,
page 512.)
"A bill to provide sumo relief for the suffer
ing people of Ireland and Scotland:
"Be it enuoted, &0., That the President of
the United States bo and is hereby authorized
to cause to bo purohasod such provisions a* ho
may deem suitable aud proper, aud to cause tbe
same to bo transported aud tendered in the
name of Ihe government of the United States
to that of Groat Britain, for the velief of tho
people of Ireland and Scotland, suffering from
the great calamity of scarcily und famine,
"Section 2. And be it further enacted, that
the sum of five hundred thousaud ($500,000)
dollars be, aud tho same is hereby appropriated,
out of any money in tbe treasury, not other
wise appropiiated, to carry into effect this
act.
"Section 3. Ahd be it further enacted, that
the President of the United States be aod he
is hereby authorized, at hie discretion, to em
ploy any of the puMio ships of the United
States for the transportation of the provisions
to be purchased as aforesaid."
The bill was eloquently advocated by Mr.
Crittenden and others. Mr. Bagby, (a demo
crat from Alabama,) objected to the second
reading, and it went over to the next day, when
its consideration was resumed, on motion of Mr.
CfiUcudeu. After a slight verbal alteration,
at the suggestion of Mr. Webster, to the effect
that the offering was made by "the people" in
stead of "the government," the bill passed by
the following vote:
'•AY KB —Messrs. Allen, Atchinson, Berrien, Breese,
Calhoun, Cameron, Class, J. M. Clayton, Corwin,
Crittenden, Davis, Dayton, Evans, Greeno, Huune

Chalmers, Dickinson, Dix, Fairfield, Mason, Niles,
Turney, Wescott, Yule©—l 3. Whig, 1; Democrats,
All the leading minds of the Senate weut for
tue bill, thus giving it the weight of their au
thority as a proper aud constitutional measure.
It was sent to the House ou the same day—Sat
urday, the 27th of Feb.
Ou Monday, the Ist of March, the bill was
read u first and second time (See House Jour
nal page 452.) Geo. VV. Joues (Dem.) moved
that it be laid ou the table, which was lost ou
a formal divisiou, yeas 74, nays 84. Henry D.
Foster appears to have dodged this vot • for
immediately afterwards he is found recorded our
a question of reference. The House refused
to send the bill to tbe Committee of the Whole
ou the state of the Ifuiou, for which Mr. Foster
vet jd, and referred it to the Committee of Ways
and Means. Oa Tuesday, the 2d of .March, the
friends of ihe bill made an ineffectual attempt
to get it up, but failed owing to the rigid rules.
Ihe next day Mr. VV inthrop moved that the
rules be suspended, for the purpose of eDatliu*
him to offer a resolution instructing the Com
mittee of V\ ays aud Means to roport forthwith
!e the House the btil trom the Beuute tor the
relief of Ireland aud Scotland. That Com
mittee had a majority of democrats, aud they
kept the bill back, with a view of smothering
it thers aud preventing a vote. Mr. Wiutbrop's
motion and instructions were therefore a direct
lest upon the uieiits of the propositions aud
here is the vote:

Mr. Henry I). Foster vufcid against it, and it
is a litis remarkable that Mr. Hamlin was one
ot the tew democrats recorded in the affirma
tive. Mr. Foster assigned no reason at the
time for this extraordinary eourse, and was
content wiiii emphasising his hostility by seve
ral direct voles. No public ground could te
urged tu opposition, for Webster, Calhoun,
Cass, Maugum, Crilt uJeri, Clayton, and the
gret lights ot the Senate had given it their

House set their faces against "his liberal act,
and Ml. Foster preferred to follow the lead ot

I&H2. It appears like slrayiug out of tho
family, but it cau't be helped. I would not
have troubled you with my intentions, but I
am informed by some ot my Democratic breth
ren that the Hon. W iu. P. Sehell will p lblisit
a card iu the Bedford Gazette, this week, an
nouncing that he had not time to secure the
passage of the Yellow creek fishing bill. I
kuow something about it.
This bill was first read in plaoe by Suu'l J.
Castner, Match 10, 1858, see Legislative Reo
ord, page 236, and was reported from commit
tee March 18, aud passed finally March 30.
Seo Record, p. 363. The Legislature ad
journed April 22, 1858. Mr. Setiell bad full
knowledge of the anxiety of hundreds here to
secure the repeal of this odious bill, but Mr.
Sehell had no interest in its repeal, and he al
lowed THREE WEEKS to elapse after its final
postage through the House, aud before the tiual
adjournment of the Legislature, without tna
kiug any exertion to secure its passage through
the Senate, aud at too same time being iuipor
tuued day a/ter day by our member, and peti
tioned by scores ot Democrats " front this and
adjoining Townships, who asked this slight
boon aloue for baviug elected htm. So gam
mon, ''clever littlo follow," I have made up
uiy utiud ou that score, and there aie a "few
more of the same sort left."

$lOO,OOO FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
The old game is to br played in Pennsyl
vania this fall. New York is to furnish money
for corrupting election officers and carrying the
election by fraud. The Philadelphia Bulletin
says;
"A meeting of wealthy New York Democrats
or the Buchanan administration school, was
. ln ew io '" k city on Saturday last, to de
vise wa )s and means for canying Pennsylvania
for lite Democracy, at the State election next
month. Hon. Wm. Bigi yr , United States Sen
; utor uud of tLe State, was there
to represent Pennsylvania. The proceedings
u. iue conference, of course, have not been
made public. But it is fair to presume that
fteuator Ligler, speaking iu behalf of both
L reekniridge and Douglas Democrats, was unu
sually eloquent, and couvinced the Now Yoik
milliooanes that money was ali that was need
: ed to carry ihe election of Geo. Foster.
At all eveuts, before the meeting closed, vve
are told that outr one hundred thousand dollars
were contributed by tbegf New York geutlemen
to carry the Governor's election and secure a
Ires trade,pro-slavery triumph in Pennsylvania.
iicther Senator Biglcr is to be tbe disbursing
agent of this fuud, or some oue else, we aio
uiiitle to stte. But the money is to be spent
iu buying the votes of Pennsylranians. Any
geuiieuiau, therefore, having principles to seli
at a cheap rate, had better make inquiry among
the leading Democrats, aui be may fiud a pur
chaser."
ARE EST OF COUNTERFEITS.— -The detective
Foiiot; iiave arestgd and imprisoned at Buffrlo,
N. Y., oue Andrews aud bis associates, whom
tboy caught iu the act of making a counterfeit
of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. Their detection was
accompiujoed at the instance of Messrs. J. C.
Ayur & Co., of Lowell, Mass , who have shown
a commendable energy and promptitude in pro
tecting the public from imposition through spu
rious imitations of their luvaluabie uiadiciuea.
Dr. Ayer's Sarsnparilii, Cherry Pectoral and
Pills have come to be staple necessities with
the community, aud the imposition upon the
sick of spurious, worthless, n not mjurious
fabrications of them, is in fact the consuaima
ton of villainy. We hope the scoundiels will
get their oue, and in toe keeping they uow arc,
they ate pretty sure of it.— Police Gazette.

Iu tbe death of this moat estimable and wor
thy turn, his dear family, his friends and acs
qaaintauees, aud the community cound, hava
sustained a loss uot easily repaired, and bv
which sore bereavement a wonud has beeu
made which noue but God can heal. Mr.
Evans, was not a professor of religion, that is,
not a member of a church, but he was as exem
plary iu his conduct, aud as sound in tbe faiih
—ah, much more so thru many professors of
religion, and iu the trying hour gave evidence
or a good hope through grace. But be sleeps
in death ; and we sorrow not as those'who have
no hope.
"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God brina with hiui."

On thee we cast our ©Vry care.
And comfort seek from thee alone.
