Bv order of the Board ot Managers. JOHN MOW KB, Treasurer. r June 27. 1856. Only a few weeks since, the manuscript of JOHN JI. Rrsif, Treasurer of the Poor House, had been so altered as to make it appear that he had professed to have paid money to a man for bacon triosc name urns not in his account —and. when the person alluded to gave informain.r* that ho had never furnished any bacon to the Poor House, then the very charitable charge was preferred that Mr. It. had been robbing the Treasury!— Gazette. Now, we pronounce this- extract false, from beginning to end: in whole and in part, there is Dot one woul of truth in it, and the natural and constitutional falsifier and vilifier of that dirty disreputable sheet knew it to be so. What are the facts in this case? We were handed, by Mr, Bush, the report to publish, according to law, which wo did Our compositors put it up. Mr. Hush does not write the plainest hand in the world, and the name of Fr. Friend, might easily be mistaken for Fr. Turner, which was the ease. The proof was read, and the error was i:ot discovered. Mr. Rush, after the first impression was worked off, came to our office and charged us with falsifying his Re port in an item where he was charged with 890. We got his manuscript and examined it in his presence, found the item to be exactly as we had it, and he was forced to acknow ledge the item correct aDd that he was mis taken, after charging us with doing this in tentionally. We then gave him all the manuscript, and a copy of oitr paper telling Lim to examine tlieni carefully and if he discovered any mistake, to let us know, and we would cheerfully correct it. lie took away his manuscript, has it yet, and we dare the liar, Bowman, to point to a line, sent met, or word, that we altered. Let him cow, that we brand him as a liar and falsifier, go to Mr. Rush and show, us where in there has been any alteration, or stand before the public in all his naked deforiui ty. The Report was published on the 1 4th of March, and about the Ist of April we got, a letter from Mr. Turner, inquiring about the matter. Mr Bush had the manuscript and had had time to have it corrected. In our issue of the sth of Apri', wc asked the fol lowing query, and from it will* be seen that Mr. Rush was not charged with "robbing the Treasury,'' hut that we only asked for "light on the subject:"' QCERV. —Tn the Report of the Poor Hon v.- J we tintl an item in the account of Mr. John H. : Rush, fur which he has himself credited with j $5.50 paid .Mr. Frederick Turner for tueon.— | .Vow, we have bevu assure' or Frederick Tur- : ner, sr., and his son Frederick Turner, jr.. of! Harris >n Township, that they never sold the ■ Poor House any pork at all. We know of' no other Frederick funit-.r in the Comity. We , would like to have a iittie light on the subject. : The next week April lltb, after being shown the manuscript :.nd,being assured by Mr Rush, that it related to Frederick Friend aud not to Frederick Turner, we published the following explanation: In answer to our query of last week, we would state that the charge of $5.60 for park, in the Poor House Report, should be lu Frederick Friend instead of Frederick Turner. The ' "hand of write" was not very plain, and the compositors were as likely to make the one name as the other out of it. Resides the Wie Treasurer took the manuscript and a copy ol our paper the first week the Report was pup. lished, for the purpose of comparing them, and was at liberty to correct any errors he might discover; but this was not done. After reading the above, is it possible that Bowman, or any body else but a wilful lier and falsifier, could he guilty of such a paragraph, as we publish at the head of this article. Indeed, it appears from liis last six or eight papers, that the more pro fessions of religion the fellow makes, and the oftencr he takes the sacrament, the more he lies. Our friend, Mr. J. ,T. Lt'iBJER, pro prietor of the Bedford Restaurant, serves up for bis friends and il.e public, every night, Ice Creams of the choicest flavor.-- Of course every body eats lea Creams this hot weather. SPEECH OF HON. JOHN DAVIS. We publish on tbe first page of our pa per, to-day, the speech of Hon. John Da vis,of Massachusetts, on the 27th of Jan uary, 1840, in the U. S. Senate, in answer to the speech of James Buchanan, deliver ed at that time in the Senate, in favor of LOW WAGES. The following is an ex tract from Buchanan's speech, and will be found in the Appendix to the Congressional Globe, pages 185— G. This is the extract, nnd these are his very words, and Locofoeo ism. with all its brazen impudence, and falsehood, dure not deny them: '•ln Germany, where the currency Is purely nu'talie, and the cost of everything is REDUC ED to a hard money standard, a piece of broad cloth can be manufactured for fifty dollars; the manufacture of which, iu our country from ihe expansion of paper currency would cost one hundred dollars. The foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country and sells it for a hundred. Does not every person perceive that the redundancy of our currency is equal to a premium of one hundred per cent, iu lavor of the manufacturer. '•f>o tariff of protection, unless it amounted to prohibition, could counteract thesu advanta ges in favor of lorcigti manufactures. I would to Heaven that I could arouse the attention of every manulacturer of the uation to this impor tant subject. . "What is the reason that, with all these ad vantages and with the protective duties which our laws afford to the domestic manufacture of cotton, wc cannot obtain exclusive possession of the home market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world? It is simply because we manufacture at the nominal prices of out own inflated currency, and are compelled to sell at the real prices of other nations. KEDUCE OUR NOMINAL STANDARD OF I'RICES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, and you cover our country with blessings and benefits. "Tlie comparative LOW PRICES of France ' ucd Germany have afforded ar.ch a stimulous o their manufactures, that they are now rapidly ex ten (ting themselves, and would obtain possession in no small degree, wen of the English home Market : JF IT WERE NOT FOR THEllt PROTECTING DUTIES- While British manu factures are j.-w languishing, those of the continent are springing into a healthy and vigorous existence." Nov., tO KEDT'CE OCR NOMINA I, PRICES OF LABOR; according to Mr. Buchanan's doctrine, to the STANDARD TUROUHHOIT THE WORLD, and the poor man would not receive more than TEN CENTS A DAY for his labor. A careful calculation of the average prices of labor throughout Europe was made at the time, and in our cnrrcucy would not quite amount to ten eenls a day. This is Mr. Buchanan's love for the poor la boring man , this is all the wages ten-cent Jimmy is willing to give. Laboring man, how do you like this? are you willing to wo>-k for, and support your family on this paltry sum ! If Buchanan can have such a law as he wishes passed, many of you will have, like the laboring classes of Ire land, Germany, France and o.hor ceuntries in Europe, to live on potatoes, or oat bread alone, and never see any meat! We hope none of this class will be so silly as to vote for this old aristocrat who would thus treat them. We hope no poor man will vote for him for another reason, that to the rich man, who has hi* tnousahds, it would more than double his riches, and the poor man who had nothing to depend upon but his labor, it would not only make him poor er, but he would never have a chance to rise! Foor man, laboring man, ponder over these things, and vote accordingly. LOCOFOCO COUNTY TICKET. The Delegates of the Locofoco party of Bedford County, mat in this place (Tim last Tuesday, and put in nomination the follow ing ticket. Associate Judge,— A. J. Snively, Esq. District Attorney,—G. 11. Esq. County Surveyor,—Wui. M. Ilall, Esq. Commissioners, —11. J. Bruner. Esq., .*> years, Cadwallader Evans, 1 year. PoOr Director, —George Eider. Auditors, —Henry I>. .Mock, 3 years. Thos. W. Horton, 2 years. There was no euthusiasni manifested !>v the Delegates whatever. Their fiees seem ed,every one of them, about a yard long.— They appeared, certainly, by their downcast woe-begone looks, to have no hope of car rying tiie county, and no doubt, only met and nominated a ticket, to beep ur> the couaty organization, in the approaching Presidential Electoin. The ticket thov nominated is certainly as weak and woe begone as the delegates themselves. They could not. have taken tip on easier one to be knocked down, by the opponents of Locot'o coism. Wc will notice a few of theni. A. J. the same one of that nam* who Some years ago, was the Sheriff of Be J ford County. He is n old office holder, and lias been an office seeker all his life. He is decidedly unpopular, and will come about as near being elected Associate Judge, as he will fly, by that time. Wiu. M. Hall, Es'j., is a right clever' young man, known to his party, by his be ing frequently a candidate for some office or other, and now only receives the honor of an empty nomination fr County Svrvey | or, and that, too, when he has 7ioptospect of of an election. Besides, Mr. Hall is a \ OUXG LAWYER, and it would bo the most unsafe thing in the world to elect a LAWYER to that office, where he will be called on to run lines and boundaries be- J tween neighbors. We do not say .Mr. Hall . \ is dishouest, but it would be the worst kind of a precedent. A LAWYER might run • lines in such away as to cause endless iaw euits, and from his knowledge of the lauds, be employed as Attorney for one party or • the other, and thus make money ml of his own acts ' It is an unsafe precedent, and the people will amid it. i The candidates tor Commissioner are not k%own out of their own Towuships, and Mr. Bruncr, one of- thtiu comes from CUUJ : bcr'.and Valley, where no Locofoeu can nyi Lead of his ticket. BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. George Elder, the candidate for Poor IL reclor, was a few years ago before the peo ple, for the office of Commissioner, hot was beateu by Fr. Turner, Esq. : Mr. Elder run ning some 40 votes behind bis own ticket* in bis own Township! Thos. W. Hortoo, one cf the candidates for Auditor, has been before the people for something or other, for several years, imd always beateu ! Such is the ticket to be beaten this MR Let all our friends now go to work, ano la bor till the election, and Federal Loeofoco ;sni is done for in Bedford County. [GP"The Gazette of this week trys to make much capital out of the fact, as it says, of 'Mr. Rensbaw, an able Lawyer," formerly of St. Louis and now of Baltimore, who for several years has visited Bedford and is well known here, having recently come out for Buchanan. Now the fact is, this is another of Bowman's lies. Mr. Renshaw never was a lawyer, and that paper only says so to make liirn appear prominent' He was formerly a r/erA':nnd now we believe follows skaviOg in Baltimore. It is doubt ful if be was ever a Whig. But some weeks ago we lieird him say that he had left the Whig party several years ago.' We presume he is of that class of Missourhu.s, who, if not an active participant, is af least a defender of the outrageous acts of the "Border Ruffians," in attempting to force slavery on the free State settlers of Kansas, lie would of course then ua tuially support that candidate and that par ty approving of these outrages! But, lias not the Gazette recently noticed some desertions of men who ere d isti aguish - ft/, from its own part v. Senator Hamlin of Maine, also the Hon. Lot M. Morrill, Chairman c-f the Locofoec Htate Committee of Maine, Lieut. Governor Koerner of Illi nois, and thousands of others, both North and South, have deserted the sinking ship of Locofoeoism. Wonder if the Gazette has heard of these? PRESIDENTIAL. The North American Convention of Bolt ers, that recently met at New York, have nominated Freeuiorit, in place of Banks, who declined the nomination. They support Governor Johnston for the Yiee Presidency. The tickets of the North Americans arid lie publicans for President are therefore the same. W 111. L. Dayton of New Jersey is the Republican candidate for Vice Presi dent. We publish the Republican platform in another column. The Platform is all right in itself, except the hit at (lie Ameri can party contained in the lust plank. From the union of the North Americans and the Republicans, on the Presidency, it will be aem that parties are narrowing down, and we confidently hopo (hat they will still cotne down prior to tbe election un til they are a unit in opposition to Buchati an. We believe as firmly as ihe election day arrives, that Buchanan is doomed to an inglorious defeat. The signs of the times indicate this result. Nex' week we intend to publish the cele brated Fourth of July Oration, delivered in 1815, by James Buchanan. 1: is quite an interesting document, and for its charges against the I democrat ic parti,, and M r Madi son, and its support of Federalism, we hope it w iil be widely circulated. We will publish it also on the very anniversary of that uav, and the lover of Buchanan and of Fourth of July thunder, may appropriately peruse it with much satisfaction. L would not be a bad ilea,-is the battalion of solders of this County. meet in Bloody Run on Friday, and a great many citizens will also be there, to have a special meeting called, and the Oration read for the benefit of die faithful! Unrtni.'CAN LA.\ mi AUKS.—We have received from the author, John P. Sander sou, Esq., a copy of this invaluable work. It gives the views and opinions of ail the great American statesmen on foreign immi gration, and contains a collection of statist ics of population, pauperism and crime, &e. There are some choice extracts from the earlier writings and speeches of Buchanan, which we will frequently make use of in the present campaign. Every American should procure a copy of "this work. Send on for a copy. Printed by -1. B. Lippineott &Co. Philadelphia, arid for sale by booksellers generally. CTTlie examination and exhibition of the scholars of the Allegheny Male and Female Seminary, at Ilainsburg, took place on Friday last, and from what wo have heard, came off to the entire satisfaction of all the visitors, llcv. Mr. and Mrs. Pollock, the Principal and Preceptress, are as well qualified for their respective stations, as any persons in the State. The scholars under their charge make remarkable pio gress in the different branches of their studies. The Institution is situated in u romantic and healthful place, and the school is now in that high position, that the citi zens of Bedford County should take pride in it aud lend it their generous encourage ment. £7~Thfl Itcv. Mr. Phelps, formerly Presiding Elder for this District, is expect ed to preach in the Methodist Church, on Sabbath morning next. We have no doubt many will avail themselves of the opportu nity to hear him. TELEURAPH OFFICE.—This establish- j uient is now under the charge of Mr. W.u.

OVER .—I ffOtice in last week's Ga zette, n communicavion from FAIL Beeg'.e, Post Master at St. Ckirsviile, charging me with saving certain things which the Ga zette parades as evidence ic justify what he said about the Know Nothing.', in connec tion with the lost children. '1 hat Mr. Becglc's story was fabricated for that very purpose is evident from its face, the Gene ral himself assisting in its fabrication. But I think I can show to the satisfaction of ev ery unprejudiced mini?, that if every word of the story was true, which is not the ease, it could not justify his conduet; but in the absence of any truth, the communication is iu itself an additional outrage. I shall first notice the Gazette's first charge, in which it charges the Know Noth ings with industriously circulating the re port that the Catholics had stolen the chil dren. My first communication appears, arid Bowman admits the first charge t>> be false by abandoning it am! taking a new position. In his second position In: says, "We have ilm humiliating and disgraceful admission that the Know Nothing leaders intended to make the charge if their bodies bad not providentially been found." I called 00 him fur the names of those loaders, and al so of those making the admission ; ha does not respond to tbe call, but Mr. Bocgie steps forward and says that I "came into bis store during tl.e excitement about the 'oat children, professing great sympathy and feeling for Mr. Cox under bis calamity (a desperate offence) and among other tilings leitiarkod, what a great outrage it, was for people to raise the report that Cox might have murdered the children. I agreed, (says Mr. Beeglc) that it was a burning shame that aiiv one should circulate so dreadful a report in the absence of any fact to ustiwn the charge, but remarked that it. was 110 greater outrage than it was for the people to raise a report that the Catholics had car ried them away." lie then goes on to give my reply, showing that T di>scnted from his opinion, and gave reasons for dis tention, an i from this Mr. Beeglc inters that it wasino that started the report. The reader will please hear itt tuind, thai .Mr, Beetle here admitltJ that io had himself itittouueed the Catholic subject. I now wish to inquire whether the inference is just, that I raised and circulated a report that on other man names to me, merely be cause l atn not willing to concede that it is not as infamous as some other vile report. But to come to tbe point; where did Air. Beetle get t'vii report, that ho had ready to thrust at mo nearly as soon as I entered his store, in answer to my complaint, (that Mr- Cox bad murdered the children) as lie has stated it himself? lie admits he hud it be fore I ram-'there, and consequently . could not have got it from inc. Until Mr Ueegle answers this question satisfactorily, the pub lie are bound to believe that lit: has nuinu fuctured it himself. 1 feel confident that we have now driven it home to its ORIGIN", where it is bom ! to stnij But if additional evidence of the absurd ity of Beegic's eharge were needed, it could be found in tho fact that to kny that the Catholics had stolen the children is not, only saying that search for them in the woods is useless, but it is also giving a reason ivbv such search would be useless. Apply the tost, and it will show that I am hot guilty. All the time A lost from the search, if put together from the time the children were lost until they were found, would not much exceed oue day, while all my hands hunted from about 1 o'clock on thefiist day, until the hunt ended, and I dil not discharge any one of them, as I heard of another man do ing, though my mills stood idle 13 seeular days, occasioning tne a loss of from $8 to §lO per day; but this is not all. Wo can show evidence in black and white sufficient to Satisfy any reasonable man, that we made as streuuous efforts as any other, to contin ue the search and make it effective ; such evidence will be found in the Inquirer and Chronicle of 3lay 2nd ult. Iu tho face of such evidence, is it not remarkable that any uiau could be fouud impudent cnougb to in sinuate such a thing agaiust me 7 But what Mr. Beegle's statements want in truth and reason, he expects to make up in proof, and he calls in three witnesses to prove his statements, which is entirely to my advan tage, and which 1 will not notice, as they clearly show the kind of company the fel low keeps I If you get the measure of one of them, it will fit all—so they say them selves—aud so I find it in fact, for I never spoke one word to Mr. Beegleon any sueh subject from the time the children were lost till they were found. After they were found, 1 had some conversation with him on ! that subject, but said nothing to justify his ' j statement. The gentlemen alluded to were then present, as well as Michael Mock, and 1 several other respectable men. These Mr. , j Beeglc did not however get to certify for j him. Ilere 1 shall stop for the present, • trusting that the reader will have no diffi- j culty in seeing that one of the most bare- : ; faced attempts lias been made to fabricate,, | and by combination, nail on an innocent in- , dividual, and without any cause, one of the : most infamous slanders that a wicked heart | could conceive; having not one word of truth as a inundation on which to Stand, i and which must have been successful, if the j. ' principals concerned in its fabrication bad j had as much sense as they had impudence j and dishonesty. It does not better the matter to know that this affair emanated from an officer of the govermnmt, through ! whose hands the business and money of the people must, sometimes, necessarily pass, nor to discover that it was invented to euv 'or a past sin, and to secure a continuance l in the office. I will merely add, that Mr. j Becglc's statement cmtiinr three addition- i ;al distinct proofs of its falsity on its face, j which I shall leave for future notice, if required. .Mr. JloWitmnV connection with this mat ter needs no farther notice at this time, but j inn'enmch as au attempt lias been made to creuttf a feud between me and iuj Catholic fclimv i"itrzens, imtuy of whom are among : uiv most k'ind and intiiwate friends, it amy not be amiss for mo to point them to such evidences as arc* ft my command, to satisfy them that there is 10 enemy in Bedford Comity from whom have cause to tear so much mischief as frour .Mr. Bowman, who regards theui as slaves a tins' /oet,from whom he can command any service, I by exciting their passions and Reding their i prejudices. Other engagements w'U pre vent uie from attending to this matter soon, but I think 1 will not forget it. Yours, with respect, WM. GIUFFKTIL Union Township, June 21, 1850. BUCHANAN'S CONDUCT TOWARDS CLAY. Lbeofocoisui is making large calculations upon Whig support. It is a vain hope.— 1 These Old Line Whigs are and wore the devoted friends of Henry Clay, and they wiil never give their political support to one, who more than any one else was instru -1 mental in fastening upon .Mr. Clay the ' charge of 'Bribery and Corruption,' and which followed him, in every political can ; vass in which he was engaged. It was a 1 pretended conversation between Mr. liii ' ehatinn and Gen. Jackson, and the upon ' charge of Mr. Krotuer. a colleague of Mr. Buchanan's, that opened the floodgates of culunmv upon Mr. Clav, and that closed to him the avenues of political preferment.— ; No man who cherishes with affectionate re i gard the memory uud reputation of the statesman of Ashland, can think one mo : incut of endorsing such a man as Radian i an. With cold and selfish purposes he saw i the shafts of calumny fiy thick and fist at I the noble hearted, and yet never dared to I stand up and right the wrong created by his own act. The New York Express gives ; the following, taken principally from C'oi ; ton's life of Clay, which wiil pay any per son desirous of information concerning Mr. Buchanan, to peruse it, to the bitter end. "About two years after Mr. Buchanan's Federal Circular to the citizens of Pennsyl vania, we find him engaged ,very assiduous ly in the great t l>argaiu and .Sale' plot.— Mr. Buchanan figured prominently through, out in that transaction—an arena so admi iably adapted to tho inclination of hi* dis position. Being at that time a member of the House of Representative?, the excite ment and zeal his belter judgment allowed him to bear no enviable position from begin ning to end. This matter has occupied a large space, in the political history of the country, and angry discussions on both sides have taken place. If however, 'any candid person, disposed to view the pro ceedings impartially, will take the trouble to do so, he will discover the poiitical trick cry of Mr. Buchanan, and his ingenuity to avoid any responsibility in the part he per formed. With regard to the bearer of overtures from Ilenry Clay's friends to Cen. Jackson's friends, it is singular that lie has never been found, unless, as it has boon pertinently remarked, it be in the per son of Mr. Buchanan, as alleged by Gen- Jackson. Taking all 'he circumstances which transpired during the plot, the fid following significant tnorceau is worthy of note, and which to this day has never been gainsaid. Hera it is, free from denial; "Some time in January, 1851, and not long before the election of President of the United States by the House of Representa tives, the Hon. James Buchanan, then a member of the House, and afterwards many years a Senator of tho United States from Pennsylvania, who had been a zealous aud influential supporter of Gen. Jaokson in the preceding canvass, and supposed to en joy bis unbounded confidence, calle.d at the lodgings of Mr. Clay, in tho city of Wash ington. Mr. Clay was at the time ia the room of his only messmate in the house, his intimate and confidential friend, tho Hon. 11. P. Letcher, sinec Governor of Ken tucky, then also a member of the House.— Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's entry iuto the room, ho introduced the subject of the ap proaching Presidential electiou of his fa vorite, adding that he would form the most splendid cabinet that the country had ever : had. Mr. Jtftc-bcr asked,'!low could he ' have one marc distinguished tihan that of Mr. Jefferson, iu which were l>oth Madison and Gallatin? Where would he be able to find equally eminent men?' Mi. Buchanan ] replied, 'that he would not go out of this room for a Secretary of State.' This geu- tlcuian (Mr. Clay) playfully remarked that , be thought there was co timber there fit for : a eabinet office, unless it were Mr. Buchan ! an himself" Mr. Clay while he was so hotly assailed ; with the charge of bargain, intrigue aud corruption, during the administration of j Mr. Adaius, notified Mr. Buchanan of bis iuteniiou to publish the above occurrence; but by the earuest entreaties of that gen tleman, be was induced to forbear doing so. Several times since the administration of Mr. Adams, a we bare bceu informed, that it might he Mr. Clay's imperative duty to publish these facts, but that he was dissua de i from it by Mr. Buchanan, To add additional testimony, we state — 1 and let it be denied, if it cun —'hat Mr. City has now in his possession a letter which, if published to the world, would place Mr. Buchanan in an eu.batassiug po | sit inc.
