PAY UP! PAT DTP
The election is now over, and tbe Republicans
have been successful. We have been at considf-ra
. ble expense during the campaign, and would like
otr debtors to antie up. Tbe crops have been good,
and they have no excuse for not paying us. For
the last six or nine months we have not got in
money enough to carry on our printing establishment
and have had to run several hundred dollars in debt
for doi g so. Will not our subscribers now pay us?
A great many owe us for advertising, particularly
Estate printing. The approaching Court will afford
many an opportunity to pay us, and we hope noue
of our friends will come to town without preparing
themselves to settle with us, and those not coming
will please send the amount of their indebtedness
by a triend or by letter. We are in earnest in this
matter.
POLITICAL MEETING.
A Meeting of the friends of Lincoln and
Hamlin, to congratulate each other upon the
glorious results of the late elections, will be
held at the Court House, io Bedford 80-ougb,
on the evening of TUESPAY the 20th inst,
being the Tuesday evening of Court Week.
Several speakers will be present to address
tho meeting.
By order of the County Committee.
S. L RUSSELL,
Chairman.
Bedford comm.
We this week publish tbe official returns of
the election for President in Bedford County.
It will Oe seen Lincoln oarrie# the County
by a majority of 2SI votes over tho Reading
electoral ticket, and by a majority of 181
votes over all opposition ! This is truly grat
ifying. Our County now stands redeemed,
regenerated and disenthralled, and we mean to
keep it so. All that is needed for our friends,
hereafter, is to vote, as we have the numbers.
At the Ootober election, Foster had 2561
votes, and Curtin had 2464. Foster's majori
ty was 97. At tbe election for President,
Lincoln bad 2505 votes—a gain of 41—and
all opposition 2324 votes—a loss of 237.
Although we Lave an apparent gain of 41
votes, and thu opposition a loss of 227, yet
this is not correct. The loss on our side, we
believe, was a? great as that of the opposi
tion. Many of our voters stayed at home, un
der the belief that evorything was aecure, and
that their votes were not needed. Our gain,
and part of the opposition loss, oceurrod by
men voting for Lincoln, that voted against us
for Governor. We know of a dozen snob in
Bedford Township, ond there were others all
over the County.
All bail to Bedford County ! she has placed
herself ?amoDg the list of patriotio Lincoln
Counties of tbe State. She stands forth as
one of tbe Counties that has done her whole
duty ! Huzza! Huzza!
St. Clair Township deserves especial credit
for her Tote at tbe November electiou. In
October she gave Curtin 73 majority. She
gives Lincoln 111 over tbe Koading ticket and
95 over all opposition—a gain of 22! This
is glorious for St. Clair. Monroe gave Curtin
56 it gives Lincoln 74 over all—a gain of
18. Well done for Monroe. Hopewell gave
at the October election 44 majority—it gives
Lincoln 59 over all. East Providenoe gives
Lincoln 121 ever all, it gave Curtin 101.—
West Providence gives Lincoln over all 125,
it gave Curtin 113. Union gives Lincoln 48
over ail, it gave Curtin 41. South Woodbcrry
gives Lincoln 28, it gave Curtin 24. In fact
our friends did well in nearly every Township
in tbe County, particularly Napier, Juniata,
Schellsborg, Snake Spiiug. But it is uo use
in particularizing, as they all appear to have
done well.
MIDDLE WOODBERRY.— Tbis is a gallant
Township. She made our hearts rejoice at
the October election with her 98 majority—
We well recollect that the Locofocos charged
our friends with importing votes from Blair
County, but our boys told them to look out,
and they would find a reserved vote that would
swell the majority iu November to 120—and
it is done, and 2 votea over, 122 being Lincoln's
majority. We have the votes there all the
time for 125 majority if we get them out. —
But what must appear strange to tbe Loeofoeos,
is the faot that Blair gives Lincoln some three
hundred over Curtin!
Whet do they now think of Ibe imported
vote in Woodborry ♦
A Fraudulent Victory!
CURTIN'S MAJORITY IMPORTED.
The most stupendous and audacious frauds
were perpetrated by the Black Republican
wire-workers at the reoent State election. In
almost every election district in the State
where there was a Republican majority in the
Election board, numbers of fraudulent votes
were polled. In some such districts in our
own county, the TEN DAY LIST was. swelled
to the number of fifty and sixty ! In Phila
delphia, we are informed by a gentleman who
resides in that city, and who at the late elec
tion acted as a watcher at one of the precincts,
there were at loast 10,000 fraudulent votes
polled for the Republican candidates. This
was done by importing votes from New Jersey
and New England, and having their names put
upon the Ten Day List. In Bradford, Tioga
and Erie counties, thousands of votes were
cast for Curtin, by persons shipped over from
New York. In Allegheny and Lancaster
counties the same gamo was played. The vote
of these places show? it. Take up tbo Cen
sus reports, and in most of them you can't find
within a thousand or two as many voters as
there are votes polled, and this, too, in the
face of the fact that a considerable number of
voters never turn out to the election. On the
6tb of November, uext, these importod votes
will be needed in New Jersey and New York,
and the fraudulent majority of Curtin in Penn
sylvania can be reduced to nothing if every
Democrat rallies to his post. — Bedjord Ga
zette.
At the October election, we wore beaten in
Bedford Couuty 97 votes. We have for Pres
ident a majority of 281 over tho Reading elec
toral ticket, and 181 over Foster, and now
Lincoln has from 60,000 to 100,000 majority
in the State. Pretty good, considering that
the voters from New England, New Jersey
and New York were "needed" at homo "on the
6th of November." Try again, our ex-Know-
Nothiog friend. Maybe you oan give as good an
excuse for the November thiashing your new
love party has received. Perhaps this time
they were imported from the South 1
DEMOCRATS !
Remember that we are now a united party,
that there is but one Democratic Electoral
Ticket, that the Breckinridge men and the
Douglas men will Loth vote it, and that there
for, we may redeem Pennsylvania, if we go to
work. Now is the time to fight for principle !
The old Democratio flag still waves above us !
It shall never he dishonored. To the rescue,
Democrats of Bedford county.— Bedford Ga
zette.
Well, they did vote for principle , with a
vengeance ! Tbe Douglas men gave Breckin
ridge half a vote, and the Breckinridge men
gave Douglas half a vote ! "To the rescue,
Democrats of Bedford County !" Well, they
came, didn't they T
NEW JKRBBV.. —It L NOW rendered pretty
eertain thai four Lincoln electors and three
Douglas electors have been eleoted in New Jer
sey. These three electors were on the fusion
ticket and on the straight Douglas.
.MISSOURI. —This State has gone for Bell by
about 6,000 or 7,000 majority. This leaves
Douglas only the three electors from New
Jeisey.
VIRGINIA. —This State is very close betweiu
Bell and Breckinridge, with the chances in
favor of Bell.
Maryland, has gone for Beckinridge, by some
300 oi 400 majority.
Georgia and North Carolina are both oiose
between Bell and Breckinridge with the ohauces
in favor of Breckinridge.
Kentucky and Tennessee have gone for Bell.
The 1098 of the Locofocos in Cumberland
Valley, on the October election, is 44 votes.
Suppose they had the same majority they bad
before, we would still have carried tbe County
by 137 over all. They lost 14 votes in South
ampton, and 33 in Juniata; add these logetb*
er, and we still would have carried tbe County
by 90 over all. We think Bedford County is
a pretty Bafe Lincoln County.
The Charleston Mercury says that "if Mr.
Lincoln were to come out and declare that he
held sacred every right of the South, with re
spect to African slavery, no one should be
lieve him; and if be was believed, his profes
sions should not have the least influence on the
course of the South." This may fairly be
called obstinacy.
CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
This is the last number that our campaign
subscribers will receive. We hope they will
now become regolar subscribers. Wo intend
to devote considerable attention to our paper
through the winter, and make it worthy the
patronage of the people of the County.
We reoeived, some days ago, a Card, signed
by thirteen citizens of Kaiosburg, in reference
to a Card published in the Gazette of the 26th
ult. We think the signers a little fast. That
Card does not "charge the citizens of Ruins
burg with a base falsehood, gotten up to in
jure" any one. The publication of this C ard
would do DO good, and might do harm.
OLD BERKS HERSELF AGAIN.
Berks County gives Foster nearly 4000 ma
jority. Last year Wright's majority was 1100.
"Alt Berks" will soon be herself again—Bed
ford Gazette , 19M ult.
For President, Berks just gives 2137!
Coming down, ain't it? The glory of "Alt
Berks" has departed forever, Mr. Gazette.
The majority for Lincoln in this State, will
be probably 60,000 over all, and over 100,-
000 over tbe Reading ticket. We will pub
liab tbe table in our next.

GOING TO GO.
The people of the-United States have indi
cated, according to the forms prescribed by the
Constitution, tbeir desire that Abraham Lin
coln of Illinois shall be their nex President,
and Hannibal Hamlin of Maine tbeir Vice Pres
ident. A very largo plurality of the popular
vote has been cast for them, and a decided ma
jority of Electors chosen whu will undoubtedly
vote for and elect ibein on the first Wednesday
in December next. The electoral votes will bo
formally sealed up and forwarded to Washing
ton, there to be opened and counted, on a given
day in February next, in the presenoe of both
Houses of Congress; and it will then be the
duty of Mr. John C. Breckinridge, as President
of the Senate, to declare Lincolo and Hamlin
duly elected President and Vioe Prosideat of
these United States.
Some people do Dot like this, as is very nat
ural. Dogberry discovered, a good while ago,
that "When two ride a horse, one must ride
behind. ' ihat is not generally deemed the
preferable seat; but the rule remains uuaffeoted
by that circumstance. We knovr how to gym*
pathize with the defeated; for we remember how
toe felt when Adams was defeated; aud Clay;
and Scott; and Fremont. It is decidedly ploas
anter to be on the winning side especially when
—as now—it happens also to be the right side.
We sympathize with the afflicted; but we can
not recommend them to do anything desperate.
What is the use* They aie beaten now, they
may triumph next time; in fact, they have gen
erally had their own way: had they been sub
jected to the discipline of adversity &s often as
we have, they'would probably bear it with more
philosophy, and deport themselves more befit
tingly. ♦ We live to learn: and one of the most
difficult acquirements is that of meeting reverses
with graceful fortitude.
The telegraph informs as that most of the
Cotton States are meditating a withdrawal from
the Union because of Lincoln's election. Very
well: they have a right to meditate, and medi
itition is a profitable employment of leisure.—
We have a etironio, ioyiuoiole disbelief in Dis
union as a remedy for either Northern or South
ern grievances; we cannot perooive any neees
aary relation between the alleged disease and
this ultra-heroic remedy; still, we say, if any
body sees fit to meditate Disunion, let them do
•0 nniuoleatod. That was a base and hypoeritie
!row that the House once raised, at Southern
dictation, about the ears of John Quioey
Adains, because be presented a petition for the
dissolution of the Union. The petitioner bad
a right to make the request; it was the member's
duty to present it. And now, if the Cotton
Sutos oonsider tbo value of Ibe Union debata
ble we maintain tbeir perfect right to discuss
it. Nay, we bold with Jefferson to theinalien
aUe right of communities to alter or abolish
fotms of government that have beoome oppres
sive or injurious; and if tbe Cotton States shall
beiome satisfied that thoy can do better out of
tbi Union than in it, we insist on letting them
go in peace. Tbe right to secede may bo a
revolutionary one, but it exists nevertheless;
and we do not see bow one party can have a
right to do what another party has a right to
prevent. Wo must ever resist the asserted
. right of any State to remain in the Uuion and
nullify or defy the laws thereof: to withdraw
from the Union is quite another matter. And
whenever a considerable section of our UDIOU
i shall deliberately resolve to go out, we sbail
; resist all coercive measures desigued to keep it
in. We hope never to live in a republio where
of one section i 3 piuned to tbe residue by bay
onets.
But while we thus uphold tbe practical lib
erty if not the abstract right of secession, we
I must insist (hat the step be taken, if it ever
shall be, with tbe deliberation and gravity be
fitting so momentous an issue. Let ample time
be given for reflection; let the subject be fully
canvassed before the pceple; and let a popular
vote be taken iu every case before secession is
decreed. Let tbe people bo told just why they
are urged to break up the confederation; let
them have both sides of the question fully pre
sented; let them reflect, deliberate, then vote;
and let the act of secessioa be tbe eobo of an
unmistakable popular fiat. A judgement thus
rendered, a demau i for separation so backed,
would either be acquiesced in witbout the effu
sion of blood, or those who rushed upou oarnage
to defy and defeat it would place themselves
clearly iu the wroug.
The measures now being inaugurated in tbe
Cottn Stages with a view (apparently) to Se
cession, sr.eut to us destitute of gravity and
legitimate force. They hear the unmistakeable
impress of haste— of passion—of dirtrnst of
the popular judgment. They seem clearly
intended to precipitate the South into rebellion
before the baselessness of the clamors which
have tuislei uud excited her, can be ascertained
by the greet body cf her people. We trust
that they will be confronted with calmness, with
dignity, and with unwavering trust in the inhe
rent strength of the Uuion aud the loyalty of
tne American People.

SENTIMENT IN VIRGINIA."
RICHMOND, Nov. 12 —The affairs in the
South attract much attentiun here.
The people are oalmly awaiting tbo issue.
Meetiogs will probably be held in the dif
ferent counties before the Legislature meets,
for tbe expression of public opinion.
The vote of the State has not yet been ascer
tained. Both the 801 l and Breckinridge
parties figuro out majorities. Several counties
have not beeu heard from.
It is understood that Tom Corwin, of Ohio,
can, if he will, ooeupy a prominent position in
Mr. Liocolu's cabinet, and in the event of his
declining to do so an invitation will be extend
ed to Mr Ewing or Mr. Vinton, of tbe same
State.

in which secession is strongly deprecated.
A meeting of '.he people of tbe whole State
has beeu called for Saturday next.
THE SENTIMENT AT WASHINGTON—THE PRESI
DENT TO ISSUE A SPECIAL PROCLAMATION.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 12.— AS far as can be
ascertained, there ts no disposition either on the
part of the Administration or of gentlemen of
political prominence here, to interfere with the
present Southera movements, except, perhaps,
in a friendly spirit.
It is now probable that the President will
soon issue an address or proclamation, as tbe
election of delegates to tbe South Carolina Con
vention will take place at an earlier day than
was recently anticipated, aud as, in consequence
there would not be sufficient time for the gene
ral eiiculatiou of an appeal through the annual
message, as was nrigtnul contemplated. The
subject was to-night under consideration.
Such is the alarm that Washington will not
be continued as the seat of government, that
tho value of real estate has been sensibly af
fected by tbo secession movement -
Gov. Houston, of Texas, talks in the follow
ing sensible way to the Disuuion babblers.—
The ex tracts are from bis speech at Austin,
Texas, September 22d :
"But, fellow-citizens, we have a new party
in our midst. They have deserted tbe old
democracy, and under the lead of Mr. Yancey
have started what they oall a Southern Con
stitutional party. They say that they could
not get their constitutional rights in tho na
tional democracy ; and because tbe platform
was adopted which they all endorsed and un
der which they all fought, iu 1856, they sece
ded. Jt will be recollected that 1 objected to
that platform in 1856 ; but 1 was declared to
be wrong. They all denounced mc then : but
now they suddenly aee that the platform won't
do, and they secede to get their constitutional
rights. They are keepers of the Constitution ;
they don't want anything but the Constitution,
and they won't have anything but the Uon
utitution. Tbey have studied it so profoundly
j that they claios to know better what it means
than the men who made it. They have oomi
■ nated Southern constitutional candidates, and
have uieu traveling about the country ex
pounding tbe Constitution ; and yet there is
searjely one of them but will tell you that,
notwithstanding tbe fact that Mr. Linoolo may
be elected in he mode pointed out by the Con
stitution, and by a constitutional majority,
they will not submit. You hear it from the
stump ; you read it in their papers and their
resolutions, that if Mr. Lincoln is elected the
Union is to be dissolved! Here is a con
stitutional party that intends to violate the
Constitution because a man is constitutionally
elected President! Here is a constitutional
party that proclaims it treasonable for a tnau
to uphold the Constitution. If the people
constitutionally elect a President, is the minor
ity to resist him! Do they intend to carry
that principle into their new Southern Con
federacy! If they do, wo can readily con
ceive bow long it will last. * *
"But who are tbe teachers of this new
fangled southern constitutional democracy.—
! Are they uot ut*n like Yancey and Wigfall,
who have been always regarded as beyond the
pale of national democracy! Transplants
front the South Carolina nursery of disuuion !
Whenever and wherever the spirit of nulifija
tiou and disuuion has shown itself, they and
their coadjutators have been found regularly
at work. They have been defeated time and
again, but like men who have a purpose, they
have not ceased tbeir efforts. No sacrifice of
pride or dignity has been deemed too great if
it assisted in the great purpose of disunion.—
What, if they assailed the Compromise of 1850.
They endorsed it iu the platform of 1852.
From non-intervention they turn to interven
tion. From tho pocultar advooates of state
rights, denying the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court, tbey become the advooates of tbe Su
preme Court, as an arbiter, and shout for the
Dred Scott decision. Anything for disunion !
They can as readily dissolve the Union upou
one issue as another. At the Nashville Con
vention they determined to dissolve it, unless
the Missouri Compromise line was extended to
the Paoifio. In 1854 they deemed the exis
tence of this line a cause of separatiou, and
demanded its repeal. Tbe admission of Kan
sas was the next ultimatum, and now it is tbe
eleotion of Mr. Lincoln. Should they fail, it
will be the adoption of the slave code, and the
repeal of the laws making tho slave trade
piracy."
MR. LINCOLN ON ELECTION DAT. —The
election ia Springfield, Illinois, on Tuesday
week, was quietly conducted, notwithstanding
the heavy importations of nooiinai residents to
overcome the expected Republican majority.
Mr. Lincoln had passed most of the day in
the Governor's House, reoeiviog numerous vis
itors, eutertainiug them with discussions upon
various topics, not exclusively political, but
sometimes humorously touohing upon matters
as foreign to the business of the dav as the
splitting of rails. The city has beon enliven
ed with tho performances of roving bands of
music, discharges of cannon, and other mani
festations of popular feeling.
The multitude at the Court House, where
the polls are fixed, was vory great during the
forenoon and tho early part of tho afternoon,
but toward three o'clock it diminished suffi
ciently t> allow tolerable free passage. Mr.
Lincoln, who bad intended to delay voting till
five o'clock, was consulted to take advantage
of this opportunity. He accordingly, after
surveying tho Court House, and tho crowd
surrounding it, from his window, and stoppiog
a morneut to read a fragment of good news
sent him from New York by Simeon Draper,
started out, accompanied by a few of his more
immediate associates, and walked leisurely
over to deposit his vote. He was not observ
ed by the masses until ho rea.iied the Court
House steps, bat at that moment he was sud
denly salutod with the wildest outbursts of ou
tbusiasm ever yielded by a popular assem
blage.
All party feelings seemed to be forgotten,
aud evea the distributors of opposition tickets
joined iu the overwhelming demonstrations of
greeting- Mr. Lincoln paesed through the
hall and up the stairs without impediment, but
on reaching the court room the crowd gather
fed about biro with such excese of zeal that it
was with some difficulty ho made bis way
through. Mr. Lincoln advanced as rapidly as
possible to toe voting table and handed in his
ticket, upon which, it is hardly necessary to
say, all the names were sound Republicans.
The only alteration he made was the cut
ting off his own name at the top, where it had
been printed. As he emerged after voting,
from the temporary enclosure, the manifesta
tions of enthusiasm were doubled, and Mr.
Lincoln, moving his hat, bowed in acknowledge
ment. Many persons pushed forward to take
his hand and exchange a cordial welcome witb
bim, but the crush was too great for comforta
ble conversation, so be was soon released, and
escorted out with all the popular honors that
could be lavished upon him. He at once re
turned to his room in tb State House, after
an absence of not more than five minutes alto
gether, and resumed bis quiet intercourse witb
his visitors, ss composedly as if he bad not
just been the object of as overwhelming a tes
timonial of public affection as ever any ruan
was visited with.—JV". Y. Tribune.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
WHAT THE NEWSPAPER PRESS THINKS OP THE
RESULT.
The-New York Journal of Commerce (Breck
inridge) say 3:
"We have met the enemy, ar.,d we are theirs.
Such at least are the unmistakable indications.
I'ho splendid Democratic union majority of 29,-
000 in this city, has doubtless been overborne
by tbe avalanche of Black Republicanism from
the middle, western, aud northern parts of tho
State; and if so, we have nothing to do but to
submit, with tho best grace we can. The vote
of the Empire State, added to those of other
States which may be considered sure for Lin
coln, makes it alt but certain that he will be
onr next President. Oue consolation remains
to us as conservative uen, viz: that wo bavo
both houses of Congress. This will check any
wayward fancies that may seize the Executive,
under the pressure of his abolition advisors, or
otherwise. Let u< bopo for tbe best."
The New York Herald says:
"Now that tbe smoke and dust of election
are cleared away, it behooves all good oitizeos
to settle down to their occupaiious, and te dis
charge the duty which they owe to their fami

suffered themselves to be temporarily diverted
from their pursuits by their patriotic impulses,
agaiu apply themselves steadily to them."

1 ha consequence of this departure froui the
chart of Washington, an d from the spirit of the
Federal Constitution, remains to be seen.
We deplore—deeply deplore it; and yet, as good
citizens, it is our daty to make the best of it
and to acquiesco in it, as under tbe forms, if
not iu the spirit and mtaut, of tbe Constitu
tion. What our Southern countrymen may do
remains te be aeeD; but we hope their appreheu
9ion will be soothed, if not assuaged, by the
fact that the House of Representatives, as well
as the Senate are to be conservative, and can
not be wielded for destructive principles against
the States of tho South.
The fact that Abraham Liucoln runs second
best in the Slave State of Delaware is not the
least significant among the many significant and
suggestive faots of tbe glorious political cam
ps igu through which we have just passed. The
Wilmington State Journal and Statesman, which
is exceedingly jubilant over the result, ooutaiut

who sympathizes w:th the Republicans in all
their leading ideas—the non-extension of Slave

Industry,&c.,— is elected to Congress. Since
there is, according to The Express, and other
like veracious authority, no Republican party
in the Southern States, little Delaware may be
said to have done remarkably well. She will
do even better next time.

EVEN THOSE who are in tbe enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have nee<l to have recourse
to tonics as preventives of disease. We are never
too well armored against tbe assaults of "the ilia
that flesh is heir to." Such an invigorator they
may find in HOSTETTEK'S BITTERS—a medi
cine that cannot be taken regularly without giving
vitality and elasticity to the system. At this
season, particularly, the strongest man is not proof
against the malaria, in certain sections of the
country. In all cases of fever and ague, the BIT
TERS is more potent than any amount of quinine,
while the most dangerous cases of billions fever
yield to its wonderful properties. Those who have
tried the medicine will never use another, for any
of the ailments which the HOSTETTER BITTERS pro
fesses to subdue. To those who have not made tho
experiment, we cordially recommend an early sp
p.ication to the BITTERS, whenever they are strick
en by diseases of the digestive organs.

ERUPTIONS, SALT RHEUM, ERYSIPELAS.
It is now generally admitted that all eruptive
diseases depend upon some internal or constitu
tional cause, and that to use washes or ointments for
them is a sure way to injure the system, and only
to drive'in, not to cure tbe disease. But HUMPH

are a true specific for all such diseases. They care
Salt Rheum, Barber's Itch, Erysipelas, Pimples on
the Face, Ringworm, and Nettle Rash, by curtag
the cause upon which they depend, and by reator

Thus, not only is the disease cured, but the soft
ness and beauty of the complexion restored.
