BEDFORD PA., FRIBAY, NOV. IS, 1864.
THE I NTIMIDATIONS OF COPPERHEAD
ISM.
The irritability of men prompts them in moments
<of controversy, under the heat of excitement, to
advance and propogate measures, which cause
thein to feel ashamed of their position and not un-
disavow any intention to carry into ex
ecution the violent extremes which heat and pas
sion stimulates them to predict and threaten, when
the animus which gave rise to them is gone.—
Thus we have felt at every stage of the canvas
which has just closed. The opposition left no op
portunity to escape them in which they did not
threaten revolt, insurrection, revolution, anarchy
and despotism in case of the re-election.of the pres
ent Chief Magistrate of the Republic. Their fol
lowers were made to believe that great injustice
was practiced everywhere; that wrongs without
number were constantly being perpetrated; that
our liberties were entirely subverted; that Despotism
was reigning and Liberty overthrown; that the
people were unjustly oppressed; that knaves had
taken the plates of wise men and that fools
sat in the councils of the nation. All this was to be
remedied by the election of McClellan if we dared
to give credence to their assertions. To the mere
cry of partisans we gave no hoed, nor did we feel
disposed to complain at the worst features of the
case-qppealing to the worst passions of men-un
tii we felt satisfied that the demagogues who
have been conducting the campaign in opposition
to us, were endeavoring to produce what they re-
Uni Uueatened; yet wc felt satisfied that an over
whelming majority in favor of Abraham Lincoln
would deter all blind and desperate schemes to
subvert the government. Again, the American
people have been taught that the legally expressed
will of the majority must be respected, this would
cause the thinking portion of the opposition to
hesitate before attempting to disregard this great
fundamental principle of our liberties. And it has
been so. .With very few exceptions the masses of
the opposition have acquiesced in the verdict of
the people and readily concede that their poli
cy has been pronounced a decided failure, and like
good citizens they are willing to turn in and as
sist, to the extent of their means and abilities, to
crush the last hopes of the rebellion. This is as
it should be.
But, there are exceptions to this uniform feel
ing of the opposition. And amongst tits excep
tions in this county is the Bedford Gazette. We
do not desire to dignify its editor with any more
importance than any other petty, impotent derno
gogue; however, this same individual has never
lost sight of the base purpose ofinflaming the minds
of our people, and particularly those who read his
ravings with a feeling of partizan fellowship. His
course has made this county a by-word and a re
proach throughout the State. And not content
with this, in his last issue he calls for open rebel
lion; yet he would defraud the expressed will of
the majority, and accept a position under the very
government that he would destroy! In the last is
sue of that paper the result of the election is placed
in mourning, this madness might prompt, but in
the announcement he calls for the reassembling of
of the Chicago Convention. What is this for? Is
it to better enable the defeated party to more read
ily acquiesce in the will of the majority? If it is, it
is the first time in the history of the country, that
such an irregular idea has been propogated. No,
this is not the intention, no sane man can pretend
to say that it is. What then is the object ?It is
for the base purpose of arraying the Democratic
party m open and avowed rebellion against the
general government which has been constitution
ally established. For the purpose of involving
that entire party in treason. This man has long
been covertly brooding treason, here then it bubbles
up to the surface, though he has "with smooth dis
simulation' ' kept it well in hand, yet like murder it
will out. But
"Think not, coward, wit can hide the shamo
Of hearts ; which, while they dare not strike for fear,
AV ould make it virtue in them to forbear."
Now, then, we believe every Joyal man ought
to second this movement for the re-a&sembling of
the Chicago Convention; afford its members every
facility to publish and distribute their.treason, and
when the whole vile nest (because none but trai
tors will assemble,) is assembled, let the govern
ment at one fell swoop arrest the whole body of
cowardly conspirators, bring them to immediate
trial, conviction must follow, and let a gallows high
enough, long.enough, andbroad enough be erected
out on the margin of the beautiful lake, and on
some dark and frowning morning, let the horrid
would-be assassinators of Liberty swing out into
eternity to receive the Reward ;for their dark and
abominable treachery and treason.
This is our proscription for this class of evils and
while no one can desire harmony and unity of ac
tion more than we do, we want it understood that
no intimidations of the kind that have been time
and again made use of for the purpose of over
awing Union men in this region are any terror to
us. We know that every good citizen will acqui
esce with the will of the majority and none but
traitors will be found appealing to the base pas
sions of those who live only for themselves.
"THE YANKEE PRESIDENTIAL ELEC
TION."
Some fellow who pretends to be a prophet, or
the son of a prophet, writes to the Richmond
Whig under date of November 1, 1864, from Wil
mington, North Carolina, thus :
The newspapers are all wrong about the North
ern election. I write this just to put my opinion
on record, so that you will not say I am only wise
after the fact. McCleilan will heat Lincoln. He
will get more votes; but he will not get the Presi
dency without fighting for it. Lincoln and his
party will maintain that there can be no election
short of the constitutional majority of the whole
McCleilan get more votes than Lincoln, will de
clare no election. The House is in the same situ
ation—no one can get eighteen States. Lincoln
will, therefore, hold over. The Democratic party,
sustained by a popular majority, will resist, and
there will be civil war in the North. Then will be
our time to make an arrangement The Demo
crats, in return for onr assistance, will mako any
terms with us we please. Do you see the point?
It will so happen if McCleilan beat Lincoln ut this
election. My only fear would be, that MAC., who
is a spoony, may be too weak to head the move
ment. But I have no doubt that the Democrats
nominated him in order to avail themselves of his
military prestige and talents when armed resist
ance becomes necessary.
Imagine this fellow's "phelinx" when he finds
that McCleilan came within a couple of being
"skunked." Our impression is that he will not
fee! any better than his northern allies who have
been so unmercifully routed. What a unanimity
of feeling there is between Copperheads and trait
ore, but, alas, they are equally bad prophets.—
But how about the fight, the rebels are to help
the Cops and the Cops are to help the robs, eh ?
When is it to begin ? the p<M>ple mean to have a
haa d in when it comes off.
"SANCTITY OF THE BALLOT BOX."
Our fellow townsman, Captain Joseph Fi"ler,
has sent us a copy of the Richmond Whig of the
4th of November, which contains some choice
items ; for instance this, copied no doubt in part
from the New York World:
The facts are coming out in regard to the late e
lection in Indiana. Lincoln's soldiers did the bus
iness for the "Democracy" of that State. One of
these soldiers confesses, in a certificate, that heand
2,000 other soldiers, being opportunely at Indian
apolis, were requested by the officers to vote the
Republican tjpket. We give his words :
A great part of the soldiers were Germans. At
the depot were carnages which took us to the polls,
and many of the soldiers voted twice and three
times. We handed our votes into a window, and
nobody asked us whether we had a right to vote,
or whether we formerly resided in the State. Af
terward we were treated with ale and all other
things we might eat and drink. lam convinced
that every soldier of the two thousand votid once,
and many two or three times, although we belong
ed to Pennsylvania. Ohio, Michigan, Maryland
and other States. Besides us in Indianapolis also
voted about two thousand invalids, belonging in
other States.
Another, a Massachusetts man, says :
Yesterday was the State election here, and most
of our regiment went down in the city and voted.
Some of the boys voted twenty-five times each. —
You could go and vote as many times as you pleas
ed, and then, after the boys had voted in the city,
some of the Indiana men wanted them to go about
thirty miles and vote again. So they took an ex
tra train of cars and rode to the next township,
and voted there. The Indiana men'paid their fare,
up and back again, and gave them all they wanted
to eat and drink.
Does any sane man believe these statements
which are published by Copperheads North to in
flame the public mind and to cover up their terri
ble defeats and in the South to induce the people
to believe that they can exjiect nothing from Abra
ham Lincoln's administration ? But we happen
to have a positive denial of the above by a citizen
of a precinct at which these soldiers should have
voted, addressed to the editor of the N. Y. Trih
iine under date of Wilmington City, Nov. 7,1864.
He says : .
SIR: I want to pronounce, at this late day,
Gov. Seymour, or any other Copperhead, a liar,
who will reiterate the falsehood that Massachusetts
soldiers voted in Indiana. A McClellan butternut
stated to me yesterday that a detachment- of a
i Massachusetts regiment left Indianapolis on the
! morning oi the election in Indiana, and via the
- Cincinnati Railway, went to Greensburg. Decatur
J County, and voted, while a part either got off en
I route or returned to Shelbyville, Shelby County,
and voted. I happen to be a resident of that lo
cality. and know the charge is false as to any such
votes being cast in Greensburg; audi happened
to be born in Shelby County, and know perhaps
every voter of 1,100 in Shelbyville ; especially do
I know that not a soldier voted there whom f did
not know, for I spent most all day there. Further
more, the Copperheads ea-st a larger vote than ev
er at thai poll, and carried it by 100 majority—a
thing never known before. ll' Massachusetts sol
diers voted there, they must have cast their votes
for the Copperhead ticket. The fact is, instead of
Massachusetts soldiers being imported there to
vote the Union ticket, it is charged upon the dodd
d—d Democracy, and not denied by them, that
they substituted butternut for Uaion votes in the
ballot-box while the Inspectors were gone to din
ner. What liars these Copperheads are!
J. Q. THOMPSON.
LINCOLN AGAIN!
When the war broke out, in the spring of 1861,
many well meaning persons said that, although
they did not vote for Lincoln and never favored
the making of the war. they felt bound to support
his administration. Yery*well. So far, so good.
But now the question arises, will you vote to re-e
--lect Lincoln and continue the war ? You say you
had no choice, as loyal men, but to aid the admin
istration while it lasted. But now you hav* a
choice. You can choose whether you will, or will
not continue Lincoln in power. \ou acknowledge
that the success of the Abolitionists in 1860, re
sulted in civil war. Will you help them again to
succeed and thus to prolong the war commenced
by their accession to power ?— Gazette , Nov. 11.
Have you heard the reply ? Yea from Maine
to Calafornia? Do you hear ?
AW UNDENIABLE FACT.
After four years of war, Lincoln has not been
able to obtain undisputed possession of a single
State which seceded from the Union. The war
still rages in Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas :
the three most Northern States in rebellion, whilst
Missouri and Kentucky, which did not secede,
are even now disputed gound. This is undeniable.
Now, shall we sustairfLincoln, who has thus nroved
a complete and bloody failure ? Gazette, Nov. 4.
The people have answered YES to the tune ol
400,000 majority. Guess they saw lie in it
During the campaign the Copperheads were
wont to threaten the people of this community
that they would emigrate to Canada in case Abra
ham Lincoln should be re-elected. We hea J that
they are now in a terrible quandary since the elec
tion has resulted contrary to their way of thinking
in regard to the manner of travel to the "land of
promise!" One party contends for the under
Ground Rail Road, while the other proposes to
organize an Emigrant Aid Society. It is our opin
ion that it will give mortal offense to the Free Ne- j
groes and deserters already up there, if these,
their fellow citizens, adopt any other than the reg
ularly established route. We vote for the under
Ground Rail Road! What a mix! Lor bless us,
massa !
With what sadness of heart did we see the ed
itor of the Gazette , carpet sack in hand, take his
departure the other day. Tears quite as large as
fifty-two pounders were on the eve of rolling down
our lank cheeks when we understood through the
kind offices of a friend that he was only going to
look out an asylum for a few of the faithful, and
that he would be back in a few days. Oh what an
acquisition our neighbor will prove to the intelli
gence, morals and honesty of Canadian society !
The Gazette in its last issue prior to the election
published an address "To the people of East and
West Providence, Hopewell, Broad Top and Lib
erty." The people responded with a gain of 65.
What a pity it did not address a column or two to
Oolerain, Cumberland Yally and Napier.
Ho, for Canada! Mr. Shannon will give notice
in a few days, we suppose, when the Under Ground
Train will leave for Canada ! Good-bye, Cops,
how sad we feel at parting with you ! We hope
you will not quarrel with your dusky fellow-citizens
up in that region.
The large ox fattened for a Copperhead roast in
case of McClellan's election is now for sale, very
cheap, in connection with a large number of trans
parencies, store boxes,,'tar barrels, &c. Mr. Shan
non, auctioneer. Who bids ? Don't all speak at
once !
"The Last From Ohio." Under this head the
Gazette of a week or two ago said the Copperheads
had a gain of 91,000. Wonder whether it has
heard anything from Ohio since then ? Is it
doubtful ? How are you, Little Mac-erels ?

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
HIS VIEWS OP THE LATE POLITICAL
CONTEBT-.
The Several Linooln ad JbVftgbn Clubs of the
Distri'jfc of Columbia called on President Lin
f°' n on Thursday niglri, and gave him a serenade
in 1 ionor of his re-election. There was in addi
tion an immense concourse of spectators of both
joxes ha front of the Executive Mansion. The fi
| ring of a field piece was of frequent occurrence,
i adding to the excitement of the occasion.
The President appeared at an upper window,
and, when the cheers which he was greeted had
ceased, spoke as follows :
"It has long been a grave question whether any
Government, not too strong for the liberties of its
people, can be strong enough to maintain its exis
tence in great emergencies.
"On this point the present rebellion has brough c
our Republic to a severe test; and a Presidential
election, occurring iu regular course during thu re
bellion, has added not a little to the strearu If
the loyal people united were put to the utmost of
their strength by the rebellion, mu'jt they not fill
when divided and partially by a political
war among themselves? But. t h e election was a
necessity e cannot have * free Government
without elections; and if tb. o rebellion could force
us to forego or postpone a national election, it
might fairly claim to ha already conquered and
ruined us.
The strife of the e icction is but human nature
practically applied to. the facts of the case. What
has occurred in thi A case must ever recur in simi
lar cases. Huinr.n nature will not change. In
any future great national trial, compared with the
men who have passed through this we shall have
as weak and us strong, as silly and as wise, as bad
and as good. Let us, therefore, study the inci
dents of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from,
and none of them as wrongs to be revenged.—
[Cheers. J
But the election, along with its incidental and
undesirable strife, has done good too. It has de
monstrated that a people's Government can sus
tam a JNational election in the inidst of a great
war. (Renewed cheers) Until now it has not
been proven to the world that this was a possibil
ity. It shows, also, how sound and strong we
still are It shows that, even among candidates
of the the same party, he who is most devoted to
the u mon and mos'c opposed to treason can receive
most of the people's vote. (Applause.) It shows,
also, to- the extent yet unknown, that we have
more men now than wc had when the wai began.
Gold is good in its place, but living, brave, patri
otic men are letter than gold. (Cheers, and oth
er demoustrr 4 tions of applause.) But the rebellion
continues, and now that the election is over, may
not all, hav ing a common interest, rc-unito in a
(Che 10 ") ° 10 save our couimon country ?
"For niy own part, I have striven, and shall
strive, t< j avoid placing any obsticle in the way.—
(Cheers.] So long as I have been here I have
notwil'.jngly planted a thorn in any man's bosom.
>\ hile lam deeply sensible to the high compliment
ot are .-election, and duly grateful as I trust, to

The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that sub.
scriptions will be received for Coupon Treasury Notes,
payable three years from August 15th, 1864, with semi
annual interest at the rate of seven and three-tenths per
cent, per annom, —principal and interest both to bo paid
in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the option of the
holder at maturity, into six per cent, gold bearing bonds,
payable not less than five nor more than twenty years
from their date, as the Government may elect. Thev
will be issued in denominations of SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO
and $5,000, and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollars
or some multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners free fo
transportation charges as soon after the receipt of the
original Certificate of Deposit as they can bo prepared]
As the notes draw interest from August 15, persons
making deposits subsequent to that date must pay the in
terest accrued from dato of note to date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars and
upwards for these notes at any one time will be allowed a
commission of one-quaiter of one per cent., which will bo
paid by the Treasury Department upon the receipt of a
bill for the amount, certified toby the officer with whom
the deposit was made. No deduction for commissions
must be made from the deposits.
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF TIIIS LOAN.
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVING BAPK, offering a higher rate
of interest than any other, and the 6est security. Any
saving hnnk which pays its depositors in U. S. Notes
considers that it is paying in the best circulating medium
of the country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for
its own assets are either in government securities or in
notes or bonds payable in government paper.
It is equally convenient as a temporary or permanent
investment. The notes can always be sold for within a
fraction of their face and accumulated interest, and rre
the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts.
Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Cold Bond
In addition to the very liberal interest on the notes for
three years, this privilege of conversion is now worth
abo ut three per cent per annum, for the current rate fo
-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent. premium, ands
rbefore tho war the premium on six per cent, U. S. stock
was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the actua
profit on this loan, at tho present market rate, is not les
than ten per cent, per annum.
ts Exemption from State or Municipal Taxation
But aside from all the advantages we have enumerated,
a special Act of Congress exempt all bond and Trr.amry
Jii te from local taxation. On the average, this cxemp
tion is worth about two per cent, per annum, according to
the rate of taxation in various parts of the country.
It is believed that no securities offer so great induee-s
ments to lenders as those issued by the government. In
all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties, or stock companies, or separate commu
nities, only, is pledged for payment, while the whole pro
perty of the country is held to secure the discharge of ull
tho obligat ions of tho United States.
While the government offers the most liberal torm3 for
ts loans, it believes that tho very strognest appeal will
be to the loyalty and patriotism of the people.
Duplicate certificates will be issued for the deposits.
The party depositing must endorse upon tho original cor
titivate the denomination of notes required, anu whether
they are to bo issued in blank or payuble to order. When
to endorsed it must be left with the officer receiving then
deposit., to be forwarded to the Treasury Department.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL BK r.rteicivF.n by the Treasurer of
the United States, at Washington, tho several Assistant
Treasurers and designated Depositaries, and by the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ALTOONA,
and by all National Banks which are depositaries of pub
lio monev, and

throughout the country will give further information and

Gentlemen.—Having stated it verbally to you, I havo
no hesitation, in writing the fact, that I experienced mark
ed benefit from your Hooflaud's German Bitters. During
a long and tedious session of Congress, pressing and oner
ous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind friend suggest
ed the use of the preparation I have named. I took his
advice, and the result was improvement of health, renew
ed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed
and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged if
they desire to be. Truly your friend,
THOMAS B. FLOBESCE.

lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa
vors that can he conferred upon man, viz: that of health.
For many years hnve I suffered from one of the most an
noying and debilitating complaints that the hum&u fami
ly can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea.
During the long time I was suffering from this disease,
I was attended by regular physicians, giving me but tem
porary relief. The cause seemed to remain until I was
induced to try Hooflan l's German Bitters. After the use
of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the complaint
appeared to be completely eradicated.
1 often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific
and. whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom
mend it, with full confidence in its reliability.
Truly yours,
JOHS B. WICKERSHAM.

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman:—My mother-in
law has been so greatly benefitted by your IL.ofland's Ger
man Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it to
bean invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly rr-coinmend it
to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I have hail that
disease in it? mosi obstinate form—flatulence—for many
years, and your Bitters has given me case when every
thing else had failed. Yours truly, JuLtrs LEE.
From the Hon. JACOB BIIOOM,
Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 1863.
Gentlemen: In reply to your inquiry as to the effect
produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in
my family, I have no hesitation in saying that it has been
highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dysjrepsia of
thirteen years' standing, and which hod become very dis
tressing. the use of one bottle gave decided relief, the sec
ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has confirmed
the cure, for there has been no symptoms of its return for
the last six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o
be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its use
to tbe sutferers.
Truiy yours, JACOB ItROOM.

Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen; | I have recently
been laboring under the distressing cflects of indige-tion.
accompanied by a prostration of tba nervus system,
numerous remedies were recommended by riends, and
some of them tested, but without relief. Your Hooßand's
German Bitters were recommended by persons who bud
tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitter."
induced me also to try them. I must confess that I had
an aversion to Patent Medicines, from flic "thousand and
one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to patao
off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community,
in a sly way; and the tendency of which. I fear, is to
make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that
yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with
happy effect. Its action was not upon only the stomach,
but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying.
I feel that Ihavederivedjgrcat and permanent benefit from
the use of a few bottle*. Very respectfully v | rs.
