Great Speeches of Wm. M. HALL. Col. FRANCIS JORDAN, Hon. JOHN CESSNA, and Co). JOHN H. FILLER. A large and spirited meeting of the Union men ol Bedford county, assembled in the Court House on Tuesday evening, last, for the inauguration of the Union campaign, and for the discussion of the vital issues now agitating the country. The people met in great numbers, every township in the County being represented. On motion of J. R. Durborrow, Esq., our worthy townsman, Capt. JOHN ARNOLD, was called to the chair, assisted by the fol lowing officers: VICE PRESIDENTS, Thos. Hughes. Bedford township; Jacob Barndollar, Bloody Run ; John Taylor. Broad Top township : C. F. Hetzel, Colerain ; Abm. Snowden. Cumberland Valley Tp. ; Daniel Miller, Harrison township ; Win- Young, Hopewell township ; Jacob Evans, Londonderry township ; E. A. Fockler, Liberty township ; John W. Hull, Napier township: Josh. Fisher, W. Providence township ; John Lauderbaugh, E. Providence twp. ; Wm. Oster, St Clair township : John Johnson, Southampton township : Asa S. Stuckey, Snake Spring township ; Wm. J. Mullin. Schellsburg ; Joseph Imler, Union township ; Jer. Mentzer, M. Woodberry township ; Charles Buck, S. Woodberry township ; SECRETARIES, Moses A. Points, Daniel Sams. COMMITTEE OX RESOLUTIONS. Col.John H. Filler, C.W.Ashcom. G. Shan non Mullin, John Lntz. John W. Barndollar, Geo. W. Williams, Capt. N. C. Evans. WM. IIALL, Esq. was then called upon to address the meeting. He stated at the outset that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Watchfulness is demanded. The war had not been fought in vain, we will yet reap the fruits of our toils. The whole Government a few years ago was in the hands of the slave power, we the conservatives bore it, rather than cause any difficulty. The object of this war was not the subversion of slavery. He thanked God that slavery was done away with. The object of the war, however, was the permanency of this Union. The aboli tion of slavery was only an incident. We now have a united people with the institution of slavery forever done away with, ihere is now a serious effort being made by persons who opposed the war, to make slavery a prac tical institution of this country. The moder ate ground is the true ground. In medio tu tisimus ibis. This is a Union Meeting, and wc- want a platform upon which every true Union man can staud. We remember in 18- 63, when the dark clouds of war hovered over us, Pennsylvania stood as a great breastwork to this rebellion. The rebels were driven back at the battle of Gettysburg. We have nominated a candidate, who fought with Sher man, who all his life time was a Democrat, who took the side of his country. We are now invited to support Heister Clymera man who never shouldered a musket in defence of his country. He voted against admitting Andrew Johnson to a seat in the halls of our Legislature. The Democrats now hang out the banner of Andrew Johnson. He did not know whether the Democrats would get anj' great thing if they did get Andrew John son. We lost Bedford county last fall through deserters' votes —of this we will have no trouble in the future. The speaker was op posed to universal manhood suffrage. So was the reconstruction Committee. He favor ed the Civil Rights Bill, the right to sue and and be sued, although very few cared much about the latter. It was an incident of this war that the negro had been freed, and now it was the duty of the Government to use all its power to protect them. There is no dif ference between Union men ; we have a true man, the hero of two wars, a man whom all can safely support. COL. JORDAN, was the next speaker and upon his appearance he was greeted with a storm of applause. When he met two years ago in this house, he found that Grant was bc-sieging Richmond and Sherman Atlanta. At that time the Democratic party declared that Abraham Lincoln was an usurper and the war a failure. He thought that they ought to be ashamed of their failure the most gigantic on record. And now after wc have saved the country they come in and want to take care of it. The speaker referred to the report of the Reconstruction Committee and quoted Rom it. The reconstruction question will be the absorbing topic of the Campaign. The ' ongress has power to submit the terms of re cvustraetion. The Colonel quoted from Chief Justice Taney in the Dorr Rhode Island case, that it is the- duty of the United "a to guarantee to every state a republican form of government. It is the duty of Con gress to determine whether there is any government in these rebel states. He showed that the rebels still claim the abstract right to secede, yet they propose to come back with all their rights unimpaired. He said that the new oath of allegiance should be somewhat as follows, I, Alexander H. Stephens hereby swear to support the Constitution of the Uni ted States provided Georgia don't secede. If Georgia secedes then Igo with Georgia and let the United States go. He was opposed to the admission of the leaders lately in re bellion into a seat of the Congress of the United States. We must teach these ambi tions scoundrels that it is a dangerous exper" iment to raise a rebellion in the country of their nativity. £ j,' Col. John H. Filler then read the follow ing Resolutions which were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That the Union Republican par ty of Bedford county, earnestly and cordially approve of the efforts of the majority in Congress in reconstructing the Government in accordance with the principles of civil lib erty ; that in the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, over the veto of President Johnson, we find the highest proof of their fidelity to the glorious priuciples of Republican Govern ment, and are earnest that they will remain faithful to the end. Resolved, That the recent Report of the Joint Committee of Congress on Reconstruc tion affords a basis upon which all true and loyal men can unite ; by which treason oun be made odious, and traitors punished, and States lately in Rebellion restoied to the Union at the earliest moment consistent with the peace and safety of the nation Resolved , That we unite with our fellow Re publicans throughout the country in urging up on Congress to remain in session until every measure shall be perfected to establish the government on the firmest foundation. In this crisis the people can appeal to no other power then the Representatives whom they have chosen. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the platform of principles announced by the re cent Republican State Convention, as em bodying the true principles of Democratic government. Resolved, That our standard bearer for next Governor of Pennsylvania, Major Gen eral John W. Geary possesses in a very high degree the qualities necessary for the high position ; a soldier in Mexico; first magis trate of San Francisco; Governor of Kansas: a chieftain in our great war against the Re bellion ; throughout his long and eventful ca reer he has proved himself equal to every emergency in which lie has been placed. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the recent letter of Gen. Geary in favor of a Free Railroad, believing that if the policy indica ted therein is adopted it will greatly enhance the material and spcial interests of this Com monwealth. Resolved, That we congratulate the Re publican party upon the selection of Col. Fr. Jordan as Chairman of the State Centrai Committee. His industry, zeal, ability and fidelity to the good eause greatly entitle him to the position, under his management of the canvass we confidently predict an overwhelm ing triumph for the Union party in October next. Hox. JOHN CESSNA said that owing to the lateness of the hour, his remarks should be brief. In reference to Andrew Johnson, he thought our people should know where we stand. If Johnson stands upon the same platform that President Lincoln did, then we are for Andrew Johnson. What troubles him that all the men who opposed President Lincoln and Andrew Johnson in 1864, inclu ding all the traitors then in rebellion, are now loud in their praises of Andrew John son. It makes no difference whether an op position-Andrew-Johnson candidate shall be nominated against General Geary or not. We are determined to save our great Com monwealth. We are opposed to the rebels down South to vote for themselves and for the negroes besides. Where he a member of the Reconstruction Committee he would offer an amendment to the resolution providing that none who have participated ir, the late rebellion shall be permitted to vote until 1870, to the effect that the figure 9 be inserted in stead of 8, so that uo one of them should be permitted to vote until 1970, a time when none of them will be left to disgrace the Country they endeavored to destroy. COL. JOHN H. FILLER, followed in a hu morous speech which was highly app eciated. The Colonel referred to the President, and asked whether the sovereign representatives of the people should rule the nation, or that the present accidental Executive should hold the reigns of Government. THE COITERHEAD MEETING. — The meeting of the Snakes on Monday evening was a rather slim and dolorous affair. Sharpe of Cham" bersburg made a dullspeech, in which, though he acknowledged the justice and propriety of the Civil Rights Bili and proposed to endorse it he still emphatically sustained the Pres ident in all his acts siding with rebels, and was greatly exercised in fear of Negro equal ity. Next in the order of exercises came the man of the troubled conscience, who with his usual sophistry undertook to show that under the Civil Rights Bill a negro might be enabled to get into the same church in which white folks worship, which he considered would be a great outrage upon white Christians. The most striking feature of this speech was an allusion by th e speaker to meeting his friends at the cross roads in the country (this was supposed to be a reference to the ancient cus tom of burying thieves at cross roads.) The refrain here also was negro equality. These speakers were followed by two or three oth ers in brief remarks, the gist of all of which was the terms of negro equality and the un qualified endorsement of Mr. Johnson's pe culiar policy of restoring rebels to power and authority over loyal men. Wearied with the dullness of the entertainment the slim audi ence grew smaller by degrees and beautifully less, until the committee on resolutions were left to read their report to empty seats. We came away deeply impressed with the truth fulness of Nasby's assertion that the great want of the Modern Democracy is power. fifetT'The Provident Life Insurance and In vestment Company of Chicago, Illinois, in sures against the following accidents: All forms of dislocations, broken hones, ruptured tendons, Sprains, concussions, erushings, bruises, cuts, stabs, tears, gun shot wounds, poisoned wounds,burns and scalds,frost bites, bites of mad dogs or serpents, unprovoked assaults by burglars, robbers, murderers, etc. the action of lightning or sunstroke, the ef fects of explosions, chemicals, floods and earthqnakes, suffocation or choking, when such accidental injury is the cause of death to the insured, or of disability to follow his usual avocation.

UssY" Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the advertisement of Messrs. Hartley & Metzgar was received last week, we were precluded from giving it a special notice. The stock of this new firm is one of the most thorough and complete ever offered to the public at this point. Those desiring any thing they advertise for sale would do well to call and examine their stock. See advertise ment in another column. Our You tig Folks (Boston: Tickner & Fields) for May is certainly one of the best numbers yet issued of this charming juven ile periodical. Lessons in history and in natural sciences £.re given in such pleasant disguise that old and young will un consciously learn while reading. The little uilegnry of Miss Katy Did and Miss Crick et" is quite preitilv and wittily elaborated, and Mr. Stephens sums up the story and its moral very effectively in one of bis exquis itely ludicrous designs. ANOTHER EXTRA N I'M BEK. —As with every previous number this year, the American Ag riculturist ( or May comes in extra size (40 large pages!). It is rich not only in excel lent reading matter, but also, as usual, in many beautiful and instructive engravings. Among these are two exquisite ones, entitled '•Pride and Humility," or the Turkey and Asses, and "After Dinner," or the Dog and Monkey. This number contains a full Cal endar of Work for the Month, in the Field, Orchard, Garden, House, etc. The "Bas ket*' gives fifty condensed articles on a great variety of subjects of general interest, inclu ding the usual exposures of Humbugs. The " Walks and Talks on the Farm are always full of practical hints. Following this, are sundry valuable articles with illustrations on corn culture, broom corn, grass lands, peat swamps, poultry, bees; interesting new facts on sheep-breeding; the third one of the S3OO prize Bam Plans; a fine illustrated chapter on group ing plants in the garden ; the first of an important original series on Insects and Vegetation, by Dr. Gray, of Cambridge or Harvard University ; sundry articles on gar dens, fruits, etc. The Household Depart ment contains many useful hints in condens ed form, including some very sharp ones to "Men-folks," which every "family man" should read and heed. The Children and Youth's Department has the usual variety of interesting and instructive items, puzzles, pictures, etc. Price of this number, 15 cents; or $1.50 a year.—Orange Judd & Co., Pub lishers, 41 Park Row, New York. THE MAY number of Harper's New Monthly (New-York, HARPER & BROTHERS) closes the sixteenth year and the thirty-second volume of this emphatically popular periodical. It opens with an illustrated article upon "Gale na and its lead mines." Among the engrav ings we have otie of Capt. U. S. Grant s resi dence before the war. and another of the Lieut General's Galena residence as it now stands. Quite an interesting article upon the "Yosemite Valley," byT L. WISELEY, fol lows this upon Galena, and then we have a reasonable sketch by Dr. GCKRNSAY of Liv ingstone's last African expedition. In a poem "The Flag that Talks"—Mr. C. LAXOOR very skillfully commemorates the gallant defence of Altoona Pass by Gen. CORSE, when HOOD attacked it, hoping to cut off SHERMAN S com munication with the North. Under the startling caption, "The American People Starved and Poisoned," Miss C. L. BEECHER gives her ideas of the manner in which a house should be erected in order to prevent this alarming result, by securiug free and effective ventilation. The rest of this number For the next year the publishers promise two attractive features. Gen. D. H. STROTHER (•'Porte Crayon") will furnish a series of papers, illustrated by himself, entitled "Per sonal Recollections of the War. and Mr. J. Ross BROWXE will continue his illustrated papers on the "Mineral Regions ot the Pa cific Slope." Harper never had any contri butors more popular than these two, and the announcement of their joint appearance gives the readers of the magazine all the promise they need that the magazines will provide them with an abundance ot entertaining read ing during the coming year. #3?"

The Grovcr and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing Machines are superior to all others for the follow ing reasons : 1. They sew direct front the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other ma chines. o. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles which require to be washed and "ironed, than any other stitch. 5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump and beautiful in use, and retains this plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent ly washed and ironed until they are wurn out. (i. The structure of the seam is such that, though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and dirable. 7. Unlike other machinos, these fasten both ends of the scam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, while silk is used upon the right or face side of the scam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or durability of the seam. This can be done on other machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitched or made up with silk. These machines, in addition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of adjustment, easily learned and practiced, ex ccute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and ornamental work.

OLD $ I I'jUul/ Merchants say; it is necessary to quit business in order to settle up. Thai many people are so mean, after yon have credited them that when yon try to get yonr honest dues from them, they will "shy off" and spend their money or run up accounts at other stores, and you will lose their custom. I don't want to quit business, I must have mon ey. I have been indulgent, I want every man and woman who owes me by book acct. or note to PAT me now. I don't want them to act mean and "shy cff." Stand up to the counter like men, pay if you can ;if you can't pay, settle someway. I will sue only those who don't seem to want to pay an d quit me because I dun them. Let all con cerned call at once to settle. Thankful to a gen erous public for their patronage, I hope they will favor the new firm of HARTLEY <t METZ GER, they will try to do right. Respectfully W.
