c-J devotion to the great principles of free,
constitutional, self Government and universal
liberty upon which the Republican party is
founded, for which it has so earnestly strug
gled. and which, by the blessing of God, it has
so far triumphantly maintained against all the
ma-.-hinatious of open foes and of time serv
ing politicians.
2. That we cordially approve the course of
the National Administration at Washington ;
its prudence and dignity with regard to our
Foreign relations and its economy in the col
lection and expenditure of the revenue, by
which the national debt has been diminished
forty seven millionsofdollars withinfi months,
and that its honest adherence to a fair and
ist reconstruction of the States lately in re
• ellion commend it to the support ot all right
thinking men.
3 That we cordially endorse the nomina

executive officer, a true Republican, and an
honest man he will deserve tbe e truest sup
port of every Republican voter.
4. That the nomination of Ron. Henry W.
Williams for the Supreme Bench meets our
hearty approval: his eminent judicial ability,
integrity and impartiality, and his great ex
perience render him well worthy of a hearty
support lor the high position tor which he is
selected.
■>. That the extravagant expenditures and
! laneia! mismanagement of Bedford county
call in tbnnder tones to the tax payers, that
there ought to be an immediate reform in tbe
• ommissioners office and the Board of Poor
Directors, and that we call upon the people
• elect the Republican nominees with a tic*
that these things may be investigated and
bmugbt to light, and a change be made.
5. L. Russel Esq., moved to amend by
ti-ring tbe following resolution:

am Philips, for Treasurer : James Fink, for

Director : Dr. A. S. Smith, for Coroner: and
J. P. Williams, for Auditor. They are all
good men. hones' and capable, and deserve
and shall have our most cordial support.
Which was adopted by the meeting, after
which the resolutions as a whole were unani
mously adopted.
M.S. Lytle, E-q. of Huntingdon, then address
the meeting in a chaste and forcible speech,
ir, which he exposed the glaring inconsisten
cies and hollow professions of modern De
mocracy in a masterly manner. Hon. John
Cessna then followed in his usual happy style,
convulsing the audience with langhter by his
sparkling wit, and scoring Copperheadism to
the quick with scathing invective.
The Court House was crowded to overflow
ing with an enthusiastic audience, and the
Republican Silver Band enlivened tbe occa
:on with their choicest mnsic. The cara
p: gn opens anspiciousiy and augurs well tor
Republicanism in Bedford county. Keep the
ball rolling.
DEMOCRATIC MEET INS. —The democracy
had a meeting on Monday night. Our curi
osity to know what new arguments were to be
u-ed in tbe coming campaign, led us there,
and as we looked over the well filled room,
we recognized u large number of Republicans
who were there from the same motive. Af
• r the meeting was organized. Bro. Meyers
announced ia few words, '"that the radicals
were to be flailed and skinned alive to
night." As these words fell from his lips,
we began to recall in onr mind, the bloody
deedq of yore. In our imagination we had
already pictured the horrible death of "Dash'"
—when a renowned Skinner was led upon tbe
stage. Not the canine Bkinner of a few
months ago. for his presence was debarred
fr n the meeting by a high brick wall that
stands a leetle bit west of the court house,
• ut a would be "Radical" batcher of Cham
sburg. He was a good looking gentle
an, rarher pleasant voice and made a good
?et- h, save that it was a repetition of those
- lice eld copj>erbead yarns, which bave been
- gto the democracy of this vicinity for a
■ nber of years. The only new thing be
attempted was to explain the democratic
v - -ies in Virginia and Tennessee, and in
unsuccessful effort, he skinuedthe bark off
palmetto tree and showed too much wool
1 T ihe majority of cops present, as they had
been drilled to that point yet. They had
been made to believe that the conservatives
of Virginia and Tennessee were the Bedford
c. iiity kind of democrats, but when Mr.
informed them that these conserva
tives or democrats were tor the most part
long heeled, flat nosed, black, greasy, strong
scented ''niggers," and that they must accept
the victory as such, there was a sudden change
of countenances, (darkening.) and lots ofcus
- mind swearin quietly) all over the house. <
■ next skinner was a stinger or Stecger, !
Chambers-burg. another good looking and j
mt speaker. He evidently is a regular j
'■•riher to the Bedford Gazette as his j
t was a compilation of chat sheet for ;
fire years. He has very fine elocu !
"ry powers, and diew some fine figures
■ - His speech in this particular would i
ST "en qnite a success, but for the inter- !
of a too O ! be joyful democrat, who
an abrupt fall trom the sublime to the i
-■aiCQious. Ihe speaker was enjoining his |
wers not to go to aleef, and to illustrate j
••s point related an incident running some- j
hing like this, only more lengthy. "On a :
certain island is a high rock, the name or
signification of which is, 'The man who
sleeps here mast die.' A gentleman visit
ing the island climbed this rock and disre
garding the warning, laid down and slept. As
he slept the tide rose, and when he awoke he
found the billows raging about him and after
looking in every direction for hope, realized
that he must die. At this point the above
noisy democrat, who was sitting back in the
audience hallooed oat at the top of his voice.
l Py got auber he mus'nt bin a goot schtcim
mer.' " This of coarse spoiled the effect of
the figure, and the next speaker, a Mr. Spear
came forward, but as the evening was grow
ing late we left them in all their glory.
AI.TOOXA PABK ASSOCIATIOS. —The First

"Tall oaks from little acorns grow,
Large streams from little fountains flow."
Seven years ago the PLANTATION BITTERS
were but little known. To-day there is not
a nook or corner of our land where they are
not found and used. The sale has reached
the enormous number of Five Millions of bot
tles annually, and it is constantly increasing.
It only shows what can be done with a really
good medicine, and a systematic course of
makiDg it known. Perhaps no medicine in
the world was ever so deservedly popular as
the PLANTATION BITTERS. GO where you
will, among the rich or poor, and yon will
always find these Bitters in use. Their merit
has become an established fact, and we cor
dially reccommend them in cases of dyspep
sia, loss of appetite, chills and fever, head
ache, Ac., Ac.
SMASH UP. —On Tuesday last, tbe narrows'
bridge, about a mile east of Bedford, caved
in. The whole structure is lying in the river.
We understand the heavy timbers had rotted
through where they rested on the abutments.
Several parties had driven through the bridge
a few moments before it fell. This will
greatly discommode the travel on that line.
We hope the turnpike company will take
steps to re-boild immediately. There are
other bridges in this county which are unsafe
to cross, and the authorities should see after
them at once, or be made to suffer the penalty
of the iaw for their negligence.
To COBHESPOSDKSTS.—Within a month o r
two past we have received several letters in
tended for publication, which could not be
published because of their unsuitableness.
All letters intended for publication in the I>-
QCIRER must contain matter of local or public
interest, mast nut be personal In tbeir char
acter, and must be accompanied by tbe real
name of the writer. Letters intended for ad
vertising parties or their business must be
accompanied by tbe cash at regular advertis
ing rates. We are at all times gratified to re
ceive and publish the communications of cor
respondents complying with the above rules.
MANY people are prejudiced against the use
of spirits in any form, but we can assure such
that the Constitution Bitters are not objec
tionable on that account, for while they con
tain only pure whisky enough to keep them
from changing, the combination of roots,
barks and herbs are the real articles of merit
that produce such wonderful effects. The
thousands who are using them can testify to
the above facta.
No one ever regretted baying a bottle of
Seward's Cough Cure.
THE Allegheny Synod of the Evangelical
Lutheran church will meet in annual conven
tion in the Lutheran Church in this place on
the L.ith of September and continue in session
about a week. The synod is composed of
about 42 clerical and an equal number of lay
delegates all cf whom it is customary to en
tertain free of expense in the charge or com
munity in which they meet.
ABE Yor REGISTERED ?—Let every Repub
lican see to it personally that be is registered.
Don't depend upon any one else, but go to
the Asses-or yourself, and go at once, so that
there may be no mistake about it. Natural
ized citizens mnst present their certificates
thereof to the Assessor when applying for
registration, unless they have been voters in
the district for five consecutive years.

the regular coarse of study at the Iron Citv

RfS-Ol*.—On Saturday last a span of
horses attached to John Pattersoa's buggy be
came frightened in mud town, and made a fly
ing trip through Bedford, John, Juliana and
Pitt streets before they were stopped. The
buggy and harness were considerably damag
ed. No one in when they started.
BUSH MEETING.— The Methodist church at
Mount Smith, Bedford Township will hold a
bush meeting at that place, commencing on
Saturday September 18th. Rev. W. J.
Owens is pastor in charge. All are invited
to attend.
AT a meeting of the Republican County
Committee on Tuesday last, YVm. McClay
Hall, Esq.. was elected Chairman, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of D. F.
Mann, Esq.
THE weather though bright and clear has
been quite cool for the past two weeks.
During last week there was frost several
nigbts in varions parts of tbe conntybut no
damage was done.
THE improvement at the Court House can't
be beat anywhere. The handsome iron rail
ing is a fair specimen of that kind of work
done at the foundry of Shires A Jordan in this
| place.

CORRESPONDENCE.
EDITOR or THE INQCIRER— Dear Sir: We
had determined after publishing our card,
defining our course as Senatorial Conferees,
to remain silent upon that question during
the campaign.
But the false and unwarranted assertions
contained in the letter of J. T. Keagy, pub
lished iu the Bedford county Press of the Ist
inst., and also in an editorial in the same pa
per, demand a reply.
It is evident that Mr. Keagy intentionally
misrepresents, not only the course pursued
by the Bedford co. Conferees, but his own
status upon the question. He says: "I
always was favorable to Mullin as a candi
date," whilst it is a notorious fact that daring
all of the three days that the Conference was
in Session, this fledgling was using all bis
influence—if he has any—to defeat Captain
Mullin. Duridg the entire Conference he
kept aloof from the Bedford Conferees, whilst
he was seen in frequent and lengthy consul
tation with the Conferees from Somerset and
Fulton counties. Not only this, but the
Conferees from other counties, used Mr.
Keagy's name to show that there was not
unanimnity of feeling in thie county in favor
of Capt. Mullin.
The Conference met on Thursday 26th ult.
We sat with closed doors, consequently our
deliberations were, or ought to have been,
strictly private.
During these deliberations the claims,
merits and availability of the different candi
dates were freely discussed, by the Conferees
from the different counties. During all these
discussions the Bedford Conferees studiously
avoided saying anything that could justly give
offence to either Candidates or Conferees.
We did (but in the kindest spirit) give reasons
why neither Mr. Stutzman nor Mr. Cessna,
would be available candidates in this county,
but throughout carefully avoided any attack
upon the private character of either. One of
the Fulton Conferees during these discus
sions, asserted that they never could support
Capt. Mullin, because he bad heard more
than fifty of the Republicans of bis county
sav that "they would not vote for Capt. Mul
lin because be was only a farmer, and of
course did not understand legislation, par
liamentary rules Ac."
Fallacious aud ridiculous as such reasons
are, they show the spirit that actuated these
men. who, if they have authorized the false
charges made against us in the Press, hare
done so to cover up the real motives which
controlled their action.
In conversations with Mr. Cessna daring
the conference, we gave him the same reasons
why bis nomination should not be urged, that
we gave in the conference.
We now call upon Mr. Keagy, Mr. Elliott,
or either of the conferees from either county,
to name one specific sentence uttered, or act
done by either of the Bedford Conferees, that
could by any just construction give that of
fence, which they claim alienated the Fulton
Conferees from Capt. Mallin.
After it became apparent that the nomina
tion of Mr. Stutzman was arranged between
the Somerset and Fulton Conferees, we did
then protest, earnestly and bonestly, against
that nomination. Seeing at that time that
the chances for Capt. Muilin were hopeless,
we agreed in order to secure harmony, to
yield the claims of Bedford county, if they
would name a new candidate from either Som
erset or Fulton connties—any good man with
clean record, who could control the Republi
can vote of the district. AI! these offers of
honorable comprom.se were rejected, and by
some mysterious means the nomination of
Mr. Stutzman was arranged. Feeling that
we could not, as honest republicans give our
endorsement to a nomination so distasteful to
tbe hooest Republican voters of Bedford
couny we withdrew from the conference.
Whilst it is true that we did consult with a
large number of prominent, and as we believe,
honest Republicans, who spoke very decided
ly against Mr. Stntzman, and who said that
on account of bis record, they could not sup
port him if nominated, yet, it is not true that
we were controlled by a few "rule or ruinites''
in Bedford. Capt. Mullin is in no way res
ponsible for oar action, he never having in
dicated to us what we ought to do. after it be
came apparent that he could not be nomina
ted.
So tar as our action in connection with that
conference is concerned, we are personally
responsible for it.
Having no personal aspirations to gratify,
and with a consciousness of having acted
from honest motives, and with a view to the
permanent good of tbe Republican party, we
are willing that our action shall be approved or
condemned, by the honest, thinking republi
cans of Bedford county, and not by fledglings
who have no lottier political aspirations than
fat clerkships at Harrisburg.

FOR THE CAMPAIGN.— An important campaign
is before ns in which are to be elected a Gov
ernor, a Judge of the Supreme cno-t. a State
Senator and two members of the Legislature,
a Sheriff and Prothonatory beside the regular
county ticket. The best interests of our
State demand a continuation of Republican
rule and if there is ever to be any economy in
the expenditure of the hard earned money of
the tax payers of Bedford county it can only
come through a change from Democratic to
Republican management That our people

interests of our State and mnst be defeated.
Copperhead mismanagement of tbe finances
of Bedford county has loaded us with debt
