To show their disregard of equality and justice, the politicians recently assembled at ("ineinnati under the livery and in the name of Democracy, put forward such a man as their candidate, and for the further purpose of showing bow far tLe poor and downtred deu c< old be deluded by hypocrisy, and by a mere name.

For the Inquirer & Chronicle. MA. OVER.—Permit me to address a few lines to you, in which I will give you a brief, though a true, and eorrect account of the proceedings of the Loeofoco meeting in St. Clairsville. As you arc well aware of the many and strenious efforts which are now being put forth in order to secure the election of the Democratic ticket, you uan well suppose that there was no time, and means left un employed by the Democrats of this place so that they might attract attention. For weeks,and even for months, was it talked of and sounded abroad by the different presses asking the attendance, of all the Democrats and extending a hearty invitation to the old line whigs, who felt an interest in the welfare of their country. The efforts of the citizens were of such a nature as ever, to call forth a pecuniary exertion, for which no one of theiu failed to attack every stranger, and passer-by, in order to collect dimes, and xs to secure Music, which would add interest to the occasion. Boarding houses, and places of entertainment were filed up for the accommodation of the vast multitude of people which they expected to attend. But how disappointed on the day of the meeting, instead of having a large crowd, or even a respectable township meet ing, there was not more then seventy five or a hundred voters present, and these were not of the citizens of the immediate neigh boihood, but were prineiply from a distance, and it is uu incontrovertable fact that tuc number of Democratic voters present from the two townships, (.St. Clair iuicr,who has ever been a faithful Democrat, his kindness and hospitality as a citizen has ever been felt, and his accommodation are not inferior to any other house in the state. But why diJ not some of the more refined portion of the Democracy from the town of Bedford stop aud share the hospitality and kindness of this old friend? \\ as it because Mr. Berkbitner's houre, was crowded with good honest old fainiers whose tastes were not cultivated from within the lids of a Chesterfield? Or was it because of. a few dimes which it might have cost them? We would not impute motives so selfish to any class of men, but when we see persons lay ing aside the principles of true Democracy, and puting on aristocracy so selfish as not to mingle with the good and honest laboring class of iicople, it is time to speak. But we hope that the refined gentlemen were kindly entertained by Col. Beegle (1) whose hospitality never fails to be extended to all. 1 next notice the speakers, who were Messrs. Hartley, Schell, and Bowman. — These Gentlemen aequited themselves about as well as could be expected judging troui their abilities as to tbe merits of argumeats as advanced by them, they evidently are not worthy of any notice, neither ot tlieui appeared to understand the principles which they wished to impress upon themiuds of the audience. The first speaker was Mr, Hartley who made an effort to talk to the audience, for a fow moments. He was fol lowed by Mr. Sohell, who tried to present the claims of .Mr. Buchanan, to the Presi dency, how far he succeeded du accomplish ing this, it remains for the people to decide, lie denounced Mr. Fremont uud his friends as unworthy of the support of the Ameri can people, Mr. S. certainly misrepresents the character and the abilities of Mr. Fre mont. Why did not Mr. S.. say something in reference to Fillmore, in the course cf his remarks; no he did not even refer to him. He knew that the greater part of the audience to wboui he was addressing bis re marks were the firm supporters of Fillmore, and the American principles. I now come to notice the remarks of .Mr. Bowman. This gentleman is destitute of all the feuliugs which belong to a sentient being, no man who has a fecliDg of love towatds his fellow tuen could be guilty of ridiculing the enslaved of our race. 1 his is the second tiuie that tve bav." been permit- ted to hero liim address a political meeting iu this place. Four years ago we heard him denouncing Oen. Scott, and spoke on terms of the most disrespectful towards our en slaved race, he also at that time insulted a colored minister, who was riding through our streets, carrying the words of eternal truth 10 bis euslaved brethren; certainly conduct like this does not become a profess ed follower of Christianity. Mr. Bowman's speeches have not won him many friends in this township, but on the contrary has injured hiiu and his cause much. Democracy mu>t fall and be buried forever, when advocated by men who try to serve God and mammon. I will notice the closing scene of the day. A more unpleasant scene, our village has never witnessed. Theic was one continued uproar. There seemed to be no harmony or regulation in all their proceedings dur ing the entire meeting. The BackanaliaO could be seen wallowing iu his mire in every nook and corner. The men of oaths could be heard pro faitiing the name of their God. But not satisfied with all this they still proceeded farther towards the customs of uncivil ized life, growing savage like from the ef fects of the ule of Bacchus, they no longer refrained their blows from inflicting death like wounds upon their fellow men and upon thetn to who belonged to their own party. Thus closed the Locofoeo meeting which was held in this village on the 26th of Ju ly. ' E. 11. Y. Ft. Clairsvillc, July 30, IS-76. Fiom the Baltimore Patriot. MILLARD FILLMORE. HIS E.4RI.Y I.IFE—HIS I'l IH.It SERVIC ES—HIS IMKIAIIISti IYTEGR IT Y-l IIS IT Tl It E PROSPECTS. '•Honor and fame from no condition rise; Aci well your part—there all the honor lies !" We can, perhaps perform no more ac ceptable service to our renders than to pub lish, in as brief aud clear a manner as pos sible, the record which MII.LAUD FILL MORE, the "Model President," presents to the people of the I niteu States. \Y cdo this with heartfelt pleasure, knowing full well that no candidate for the Presidential chair has ever exhibited a more nouoraLle career, or a more blameless private life. HIS YGjI'THFUI, KAYS. Millard Fillmore is in the true sense of the word a self-made man, and it is a fact well worthy to inspire a spirit of emulation among the youth of America, that, with scarcely any exceptions, the eminent men cf our country-have all been the architects of their own fortunes. '-It is true," said Henry Clay, replying to the sneers of John Randolph, "I was born to no proud patri monial estate !" And it was fortunate, no doubt, that bo could not point back, with the eccentric lord of Kenoake, to his boast ed line of ancestors; for in sucliaca.se, llenry Clay could never have wanned his noble soul to the wants,the sympathies, and the feelings of the masses, or gained that ascendency in their hearts which entitle him to he hailed as the "Great Commoner.'' It is so in every case. The life of Millard Fillmore, the candidate of the American party for the office of President of the Uni ted States, is another triumphant t indica tion of republican institutions, as affording that encouragement and opportunity needed for the full development cf the intellect and talents of the people. lie, too, has risen bv his own unaided exertious, to the highest honors in the Empire State and in the N'atiou. The story of Lis early career and his subsequent success cannot be too often told to tbe young men of the work shop and the farm. It should be read at the fireside of every hamlet in the land, and the childre'u be iucited to imitate hi 3 example. Millard Fillmore was bcrn at Summer Hill, Cayuga couuty, New ork, on the 7th day of January, 1800. He was the son of a farmer, and early accustomed to toll. At an early age he was sent from home to earn his own support, and at twelve was placed with a clothier to learn the business of dressing cloth. Soon after, he was ap prenticed to a wool carder, with whom be labored faithfully until be reached the age of uiueteeu, and became master of bis cal" ling. Many anecdotes are related of young Fillmore during this interesting pe riod of bis life, showing him to have been early animated by that indomitable spirit which is the surest guarantee of success.— He was a great reader, and literally "trim med the midnight lamp" throughout the heyday of his youth, in storing his miud with these treasures of knowledge to which lie owes his subsequent greatness. It may be bard for the reader who only knows Mr. Fillmore as the accomplished statesmen and the finished gentleman, r-tuarkable everv- BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 8 1850. where for liis polished manners and fine sense, to imagine him pursuing his bumble calling in the shop of a mechanic, and ! when his daily task is done, poring indus triously over the ample page of knowl edge, by tbe feeble light of tbe midnight lamp; but sucli are the simple annals of the first twenty years of his life, and true to the manly instinct" of hk uature, Mr. Fillmore was never ashamed to own his humble origin. It is wsoafty the fortunate i lot of every young man of genius, at the turning point in his life, to have a patron, who perceives his latent talents, and assists him in finding their appropriate sphere.— Henry Ciay had such a patron, whose in fluence controlled his exuberant enthusiasm and shaped the flights of his youthful am- I bition. And it was Judgo Wood, of Ca- I yuga, who became sponsor tt> young Fill- ! more, in the study of his profession as a lawyer. lie persuaded hint to accept a place in his office, and generously defrayed his expenses through a course of legal studv. We need not say hpreciatioo of the j Vice President's firm aud honorable pnsi- . tion, ordered his address to be entered up- i on the journal, where it now stands an en- I during evidence of Mr. Fillmore s and j conscientious character. HE IS CALLED TO THE PRESIDENTIAL j CHAIR. ! On the 9th of July, 1850, Zaoharv Tay ! lor, then President of the United States, t after a short illness, breathed hrs last. On ! the 10th inst., Mr. Fillmore took the oath | to "preserve, protect, and de.end the Con | stitution of the United Slates," aud from ! the well known character of the man, the j whole country felt that the solemn promise would be faithfully kept. And so it proved. Our readers need not at this day be told with what signal ability he discharged tie duties of that responsible office—how be found bis country convulsed by an embit tered and sectional strife which threatened { the speedy dissolution of the Union, but how bis wisdom and self possession at lust rjuieted the storm and restored peace to the land. His administration, as has troll been said, was emphatically Washington like, a nd not one of our modern Presidents has left a clearer record behind him at the White House at Washington, to which he can point without a blush, a fear, or a sin gle regret. IIIS TEXAS MESSAGE. Almost the first official act on the part of the new Chief Magistrate was to issue a message upon our difficulties with Texas, and in a short time the matter was happily adjusted; but we have not space to give particulars. Then came up the great Com promise Measures, which received the.sup port, as indeed they originated, with the venerable Henry Clay. This important measure also received the cordial sanction j of Mr. Fillmore. At this session of Con gress many important acts were passed, which we have not time at this period to spe cify, yet" they have all proved wise and pol itic in the highest degree. HIS FIRST MESSAGE, AND SUNDRY ACTS OF IIIS ADMINISTRATION. Mr. Fillmore's first regular message to the Thirty-First Congress was a document of great ability, calm, conciliatory, clear, statesmanlike, and thoroughly American. — It prosented the affairs of our country in an explicit manner, at the same time proposing such measures as the great interests of the ÜBIOU seemed to demand. The second message, delivered at the second session of the Tbiity-Secoiid Congress, was aire a most able State paper, and at this time Mr. Fillmore fakes occasion to recommend a change iu the Naturalization laws of our country, as they are subject to great abuse, and as foreign influence was beginning to manifest itself in an umuistakeable and re pugnant manner among us. During the ses-icn of this Congress (Democratic) Lou is Kossuth was received aud honorably en tertained, not only at Washington but throughout the Union. Many important measures were devised and put into execu j tion by this same Congress, and to all those ! tending to benefit our country and increase f it*, prosperity, Mr. FHiro re gave bie aewfel j consent. Ilis administration, (with the Hon. John P. Kennedy, of Baltimore, as Secretary of the Nary) also originated and prepared the Expedition to Japan, which has won so much honor to the American name. IIK INTERCEDES TOR THE JIT DAI FAMILY About this time the Grand Duke of Tus cany Imprisoned an Italian family for the I crime of readiug tbe Protestant Bible. This j I'apal outrage attracted attention from the • wlrole civilized world. By the direction of Mr. Fillmore, lion. Edward Everett, then Secretary of State, addressed a letter to tbe Grand Duke, asking, iu the name of the American people, that the Madai family might be released. This request was i granted, and the family, once more at liber- I ty. sought a refuge from i'apal oppression. I HE IS A CANDIDATE FOR TIIE PREFIDEN■ HAL NOMINATION. The nominations for the Presidential canvass of '52 now becau.e exciting topics for debete. The Whig Convention assem bled at Baltimore, and the first ballot for candidates resulted in the following vote : Fillmore, 1 S3, Scott, 131; V ebster, 29. The contest was very spirited, but on the fifty-third ballot Gen. Scott received 159 vctesand was declared nominated. Ou the same ballot Mr. Fillmore received 112 votes, which shows how earnest were his friends. -it lI£TIRKS TO PRIVATE LIFE—IMS H'.R -VICKB. Oil the 4th of March, 18i>3, Mr. Fill more retired from the Presidency, and was succeeded by Franklin Pierce.' We must not forget to mention that during Mr. Fill more's administration occurred the ill-star red expedition of Lopez to Cuba, ami al though urgent efforts were made by the I ni teu States authorities to preveut the sailing of this unlawful expedition, they pioved unavailing, and the fate of Lopez, Critten den. and tLeir unfortunate, deluded com panions, is well kuowu. Iu reviewing the public life and the ad ministration of Mr. Fillmore, we sec much to admire, and nothing to condemn. In this brief sketch it is impossible to dwell at length upon the character of a man, who, in every condition of life, in poverty and in af fluence, ia the humblest and iu the highest station, has proved himself honest, eapab!c> true io the Constitution, devoted to our glo rious Onion, firm in adbereuce to the Amer ican institutions. W hat more, fellow citi zens, can be asked? On retiring from the Precedential chair once more to private life, Mr. Fillmore car ried the unbounded esteem of all who had b ten associated with him, and the great meu of all parties, with Henry Clay at their head joined in commending the wisdom, integri ty, prudence and honor with which ho had ' presided over the affairs of our nation. VOL. 29, NO 32. HE IS IX FAVOR OF A CHANGE IN TUB NAT' IRAUZATION LAWS. Mr. Fillmore had for several years bee IT of the opinion that a radical change was needed in our emigration and naturalisation and naturalization laws, and when the I American party, advocating these reform s i openly and zealously, arose like a youuggi- I ant in its strength, Mr. Fillmore was one of I the first to enter its ranks. lie at once j joined the American Order, and is at this ; time a member in good standing, ot Coun cil No. 177, in the city of Buffalo. We know this to be the fact, and if elected to the Presidency, the American party will find that their confidence could never have been placed in a better or more consistent man. HE VISITS EUROPE. Nearly one year ago, Mr. Fillmore sailed ed for Europe, and since that period has visited nearly all the Continental States, thus adding io his already ripe ideas of gov ernment, by a close ejaiuination aud com parison of the institutions of Europe with those of our own free and enlightened land, lie lias observed for himself the deteriora-- ting pnd blasting influences of monarchy,- the degrading condition of monarchial gov ernments, the pall of ignorance which broods over these lands where a free press an'd free speech are prohibited, the ruinous ctnse ijueneea of superstition and licensed crimes. Viewing all these things in their proper light, contrasting the fading glory of one continent with the dawning greatness of an other, we cannot donbt that Mr. Fillmore returns to his own beloved country with, if possible a deeper reverence for its illustri ous founders, a more endearing love for its ennobling institutions, a higher pride iij its extending influence, than ever before. HE IS NOMINATED FOR PRESIDENT. Ou the 221 of February, 1856, Mr. Fill wore was unanimously nominated by the American party, iu convention, for t'nePre sidency, with Andrew J. Done] son, of Ten nessee, for Vice President. The nomina tion was accepted, and every one of bis country is now called upon to do his duty. And if elected, as we earnestly trust be will be, to fill again the Presidential chair, we have an abiding trust that his adminis tration will be honorable to himself, glori ous to our Union, aud true to the great doc- 'l ines of the American party. HIS RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES. On the 221 day of June, Mr. Fillmore arrived ot New York, and was received with every demonstration ef regard from the corporation of New York and hi.-, fellow citizens without distinction of party. In course of a reply to a brief address of wel come delivered by an eminent citizen of New York, Mr. Fillmore uttered the follow ing patriotic sentiment "lf there lie those either North or South who desire an administration f..i the North as again-t the South, or for the South as against the North, they are not the men who should give their suffrages tome. For my part I know only mv country, my whole , country and nothing but my country." .Maswkusrlfs. —The : -slid oven of Bos ton," and of the Bar State, are tuovingfo- Fillmore.
