ing, in the.Court House, on Tuesday evening
ast, for the purpose of hearing the questions
>f the coming political canvass fairly and
truthiully discussed. The Republican Hand
was in attendance during the evening and
discussed some of their finest selections of
music.
1 he meeting was called to order by electing
.1. .-I. Snowden of Middle Woodberry, to the
j chair, after which the following additional
officers were chosen for the evening.

Committee OH Resolutions. —John Lutz,
Esq., Chairman: J. W. Lingenfelter, Esq.,
Benjamin R. Ascbom, Asa S. S'uckey,
aud Simon Nycum.
J. T. Keagy, Esq., was the first speaker
I announced, and led off with a ueat, cogent
and argumentative speech, on Reconstruction
and Impeachment followed by At. A. Points,
Esq.. who, by his learned logic, and pungent
thrusts at modern treason, elicited freqnent
rounds of uproarious applause.
The Committee on then repor
ted the followiug which were unanimously
adopted,
WHEREAS, Under a Republican form of
government the supremacy of the law is at all
times of vital importance, and especially so
in times.ol political excitement, and
WUGTTEAJP. Andrew Johnson hasfrequeully,
flagrantly and defiantly denounced the law
making power of the nation, and deliberately
violated the laws, and
W HESExe, A sound financial system and a
strict fulfilment of the pledges of the nation
to her creditors are essential to the financial
security and integrity of the uation, It is
hereby
Rtsolced, by tbe Republicans of Bedford
county in Alass Meeting assembled,
1. i'bat we heartily approve of and endorse
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and
believe that his conviction and removal from
office is necessary to the safety, prosperity
and peace of the country,
-. 1 bat tbe honor of the country and com
mon honesty require that every dollar of the
national debt, incurred in putting down re
bellion should be honestly paid, and we
heartily condemn as dishonest, unjust
and calculated to tarnish the national honor,
any and every device looking to the defraud
ing of the nation's creditors or the repudia
tion of the national debt. '
8. That we reiterate our choice ol General
I lysse-s S. Grant as the standard bearer of
the Republican party in the coming Presiden
tial contest. believing that be who was first
in war is worthy to M made first in peace,
and to be entrusted with tbe highest office in
the gift of :i grateful people.
i. That in the Congressional plan of recon
struction we recognize the only true, safe
and just, principle upon which our Union can
be restored and our free institutions placed
upon an enduring foundation.
5. That the thanks of the State are due to
the members of the Legislature just adjourned,
and to Governor Geary for giving us .a genuine
Free Railroad Law and a Registry Bill, and
the thanks of the Republicans of Bedford
county are hereby tendered to our represen
tatives tor their attention to duty auu their
fidelity in fulfilling the pledges of the party,
particularly on the Free Railroad question,
•j. That the thanks of the State
! are due to Governor Geary for his stern
j integrity and fearless courage, displayed in
j calling attention to public abuses, and veto
ing unconstitutional and unjnst laws, without
regard to party or personal interests, and in
the face of threatened odium, particularly in
the so-called Senate Free Railroad Biil.
7. That the thanks of the Republican parly
are due to Hon John Cessna and Hon 11. B".
Swoor e for their zeal aud energy in ferrettirsg
out and exposing the Luzerne county natura
lization frauds, perpetrated by Wallace and
liis minions.
h>. I hat our Representative iu Congress,
j Hon W. H. Koontz, by bis personal attention
to the duties of his office, his vitilwfSsind
stern devotion to tLe great principles of the
Republican party and of our free institutions,
; has won the esteem and deserves the thanks
; of the people of this Congressional District.
; Hon. John Cessna, being repeatedly called
: upon, responded in scathing, scourging and
unanswerable arguments, wbich completely
undermined the Copperhead theory and
i portrayed in living terms the great principles
1 of the Republican party—Right, Liberty , and
Justice. Upon Mr. Cessna's closing, the
meeting adjourned with-three hearty cheers
for General Ulysses S. Grant, and we feel
assured that every Republican preßc-nt left
with a determination to go to work with re
newed activity and increased zeal for tbe fur
therance of the cause of the Union and Re
publicanism.
IIE.VBT WARD BEECHER. in his latest Sun
day moruing sermon, said that if he was a
merchant and wanted to sell goods, he would
advertise in the newspapers.—A'etr York
; Paper.
And Mr. Beecber would -elt his goods.
Judicious advertising never fails. Mr. Bee
cber would know how to advertise judiciously
—which is what a good many don't know.
It is :he easiest thing in the world to throw
away money in trying to advertise. Letting
ori just too little steam is no better than none
jat all. Tbe same song continually sung
would ruin the best of singers. Tbe weak,
; sickly, timid advertising is simply useless ex
penditure of money. TLiu gruel never made
ioe fat. Liberal advertising has made more
men rich than any other one thing. Mr.
Bvet-her is the best advertised man in the
country, and he knows the value of advertis
ing liberally.
THE AIEETIXO OS MONDAY NIGHT. —Tbe
Democratic gathering on Monday night, prov
i ed a fuilure as far as numbers and enthusiasm
t were concerned. A "beggarly account of
empty benches," a few office-seeking Demo
; crats. and a respectable sprinkling of Renub- j
licans—(there for tbe purpose of gratifying '
cariosity)—were addressed by Messrs. Shan
non and Meyers, as nmal. The resolutions
were a Lime rehash of by gone balderdash,
aud tbe speeches were without force or logic,
a worded appeal to tbe people to forget the
' past,-(ah! don't these men wish it could and
would be forgotten)—and look only to party
i and the offices. One of the speakers declar- ;
ed for Hancock for President, but Lis coup- i
ling the declaration with the fact that he had '
been a prominent General in the Union army j
frustrated the whole scheme, and the mention I
of his r.ame was received in profound
: silence.
I.lc USE STOI.EN. —On Tuesday night of last ;
week a horse belonging to Ferdinand Berry, j
was stolen from bis stable, on South Front
j street. The is supposed to have been !
committed about ten o'clock, as considerable
noise was heard in the neighborhood of the
• stable about that time. No clue has been j
j obtained of tbe whereabouts of the horse or
i thief.— ChcMnhcreburg Repository.

A Coxrutsr.—Wc take no delight in
complaining, but we are appealed to by the
ladies to complain of the rudeness of cer
tain parties who are in the habit of
congregating in front of several of our places
of business every evening. This is particu
larly tbe case where opportunity is afforded
these "squatters"' to sit down, and to the
number of tifteeu or twenty, without any re
gard to race or color, tbey make it a matter
of courage for a lady to pass. Such behavior
is unpardonable, as it is rude, profane and
boisterous. We know their conduct is not to
the credit of the proprietor,- of these places,
and we hope this will be all that need be said
in the matter.
A WARNING. —K. K. K.- - The heinous
crimes being committed by the bloody "Ku-
Klax Klan" are not confined exclusively to
the Southern States but their warning arid
cabalistic missives are occasionally sent to
Northern Unionists, notifying them that the
"dark and bioody hour has arrived." A
note of this kind was sent to us the other
day, but oil opening it, we were gratified to
find thai it was not from the "K. K's," but
from the "Regulator," notifying us to "warn"
tbe public that H. F. Irvine had just received
the CHEAPEST and BEST lot of Boots. Shoes
and Qaeensware ever brought to Bedford.
We would suggest, therefore, that purchasers
give him a call before buying elsewhere.

its author at the breaking out of the Rebellion.
