We will bind ourselves, nur heirs, execu tors or asaigus, in the sum of SSOO, that Buchanan, wlieD iu the United States Sen ate, made use of the following language, we will also bind ourselves as aforesaid, iu the sum of SSOO, that we can prove by 1.0-cofoco cofoco authority that Buchanan did make use of the following language. Here's the extract: "lu Germany, where the currency .s pureiy on-falie, ami theeost of everything l* REDUC ED to a hard money standard, a piece uf broad cloth can he iua'*ilactured for Ally dollars; the manufacture of which, in our country from the expansion of paper currency would cost one hundred dollars. Th foreign French and German manufacturer imports this cloth into our country and sella it for a hundred. l)oe3 not every person perceive that the redundancy of our currency is equal to a premium of oue hundred per cent, in lavor of the manufacturer. "No tariff of protection, unless tt amounted to prohibit ion, could counteract these advanta ges iu favor of foreign manufactures, i would to Heaven that 1 could arouse the attention of every manufacturer of the nation to this impor tant subject. "What is the tea son that, with all these ad vantages and with the protective duties which our I iw s afford to the domestic manufacture of corton, we cannot obtain exclusive possession of the home market, and successfully contend for the markets of the world? ft is simply because we manufacture at th? nominal prices of our own inflated currency, and are compelled to sell at the real prices of osher nations. REDUCE OUR NOMINAL TO THE REAL .STAND ARD OF PRICES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, and you cover our country with bles sings and benefits. "The comparative LOW PRICES of France and Germany have afforded such a stimnlous io their manufactures, that they are now rapidly ex- lending themselves, and would obtain possession in no small degree, even of the English home . Market. IF if WERE NOT FOK THEIR PROTfcT ING DUTIES- While British manu facture* are now languishing, those of the continent are rpiinging into a healthy and vigorous existence." Now bere is a chance for gentlemen IJO coiocos to make a little money ! The ex tract clearly shows that Buchanan is iu fa vor of Low Wages ' Come up to the mark, gentlemen, fodder or no fodder, and ac knowledge (batten cent Jimmy is not enti tled to the votes of the laboring man.— Come, now, we know yon like money, and accept this little bribe ' A careful examination of the average prices of labor throughout the. world , shows that it only amounts to TEN CENTS A DAY ! Laboring man, will you vote for Buchanan, who is willing to give you only ten cents a day for your bard labor' CONORF.SSIONAL CONFERENCE. The Congressional Conferees, appointed by the Franklin County Union Convcution, pub lished a Card, inviting tho Can farces of Adams, Fulton, Bedford and Juuiata, to meet with them in Cbambersbuig, on Tues day the 12th of August, to nominate a can didate for Congress. "VI e notice that the Gazette of last week bas been guilty of again puffing the notori_ ous Sam Black of Pittsburg. Where were that paper's puffs when Black was last here? We would like to know 1 He is the same man now as ho was then. As it is said that "birds of a featbeT flock together,'' and as they were frequently together at the Springs, and elsewhere, maybe Sam and the General occasionally took a social drink out of the ssuie flask. ahe American Organ printed at Wash ington, says of Mr. Barclay, that his sudden conversion to the cause of the Topeka Constitution is thus explained: On the even ing of the day OR which he voted against Mr. Grov's Kansas bill, a delegation from bis district in Pennsylvania informed him that unless the Kansas question was settled, Mr. Buchanan could not carry Pennsylva nia. On the next day Mr. Barclay who Uf a friend of Bucbanafl'a moved to reconsider the vote by which the Kansas Bill lad l>een defeated and it was reconsidered. As our readers are aware, Mr. Grow's bill was then passed, Mr. Barclay himself voting for it THE fOUHTf TICKET. We publish in another column, the pro ceedings of the Delegate Convention, which met in this place for the purpose of placing in nomination a Ticket to be supported by the people of Bedford Couuty, opposed to the wicked policy of the present adminis tration, and the filibustering platform of the Cincinnati Convention. The feeling was as good as we have ever seen in this County, and none of the Delegates expres sed a doubt that we would carry our Coun ty ticket by a large majority. It will be seen that the ticket is one of the best that has ever been placed before the people of Bedford county. We hope our friends will ali now roll up their sleeves, and go to work in earnest, froui this time forth till the election, and its triumph will be secured by a large majority. Ia its selection, it will be seen that the ticket was well divi ded, no two men from cue district, and all the strongest and best that could be nomi nated, and who will secure a full turn out from their respective localities. WILLIAM GRIFFITH, Esq., the can didate for the Associate Judgeship, is con sidered to be one of the best uieu iu the county. He is well read and a first rate man in every sense, and well qualified for that honorable station. He Is of stero jo --litieal integrity, and stiictly a moral nun. His nomination is hailed with delight by all his neighbors, and wherever he is known, especially id Union and Ft. Claii, be will poll a very large vote. Truly the conven tion was fortunate in its selection lor Asso ciate Judge. ALEXANDER DAVIS, Esq., was nom inated for Commissioner for three years.— He is a man of character, and stands high with his neighbors. He is an iutelligent t industrious farmer, and in bis Township, (Hopcwelll and surrounding vicinity, he will run a strong vote. Mr. JOHN BLACKBURN, the other candidate for Commissioner, is known as an excellent, no ble hearted man, in every way qualified for that position,and besides, oue of the most deserviog men in the county. No man Las labored for the success ot the American cause, to a greater extent than he. St. Ciair will do her duty nobly for him. DANIEL SAMS, Esq., our present able and efficient County Surveyor, was re-nom inated for that position. He bails from the glorious Township of West Providence, and will be elected by a large majority, lie is one of the most popular im-n in the county, and one of the best surveyors in the State. JOHN METZG All, Esq., was nomina ted for l'oor Director. Everybody in Bed fir J County knows him, and they also know that no better man could have been taken up, or was better qualified for that or any other office in the county. lie, is weli liked, ami very jmpular, and will bring forth our whole strength in his own Town, ship of Juniata and Harrison, Napier and Londonderry. Mr. ANDREW J. REIGIIART, of Bedford Township, was nominated tor Au ditor for three years, and JESSE AKERS Evq , of East Providence Township, for one year. They ore excellent men and good accountants, and popular, and will run a strong vote. Maj. SAMUEL SNIVELY, of Monroe, was nominated for Coroner, lie is a good mechanic and farmer, and a man of un bending iutegrity. Monroe will do her du ty for hi in. Thus, fellow-citi*eas of Bedford County t you have one of the best tickets presented for vour suffrages that has ever been placed before you Our friends are all sanguine and confident of its success. Put forth your whole strength, as our opponents will leave no stone unturned to defeat you>— They have no doubt, been sent a iarpe sum of money from Washington, and are now going about offering to bribe Americans with money and often of office, to desert their cherished principles! le*t all our friends scorn these offers. Let every American now woik until after the election, and a glorious victory will be ours. Bed ford County is sound on the American question, if we all do ourjduty. {£/"* We understand that .Mr. JOHN G. HARTLEY, one of the Associate Judges of Bedford County, who pretends now to be ODe of the best Locofocos in the County, and never anything else , denies ever having beeu a member of the American Order.— Now we know that Mr. John G. Hartley, in 1854, ftcr he was nominated by the Loco focos as their candidate for Associate Judge, did desert that party, and joined the order, commonly known as -'Know Nothings," and was adopted 4s their candidate, at the same time professing to be a Looofoco, and noth ing else. This secured his election. If he offers to bet that this is not true, we say, to any of his Democratic friends, that tjtey may safely take the bet, and call on us, and we will prove what we say, by any number of good witnesses. lie voted against Ma jor Tate, and the balance of his ticket that fall. Now be turns round aud deserts us as he deserted the Locofoco party. We hope they will have no cause to dispute his political integrity hereafter! Why don't they take us up?— We last wet k offered a reward of 51000 to any Bu chsneer, that Buchanan did advocate Low Wages. Our offer is still standing. Come, gontlemen ten cents a day men, here's a chance for yon to make a little more money. Ji might help ypu to buy some more voters. MORE LOCOFOCO BASENESS. Our readers will find belof the letter ot Mr. ERASTUS KINO, of Scbellsbarg, showing the manner the base leaders of the Loeofoco party resort to to seduce Ameri cans from their cherished principles. We understand that one of the caudidales of the Locos for one of the principel county offi ces this fall was principally concerned in this mean and contemptible aff*ir, in which he imposed upon Mr. King. Of the other nine to the card in the last Gazette, from Napier Township, we are assured from the best authority, that not one of them voted for us last fall, or at the last Spring election. Neither of them has any weight of charac ter of his own, position or influence, and some of theui are only known to the people of Bedford County through the Court of Quarter Sessions. Auother on that Card from Bedford Borough, has never voted for us, which we know of our own knowledge. This leaves still two, of whom we know no thing. Last fall we carried Bedford Couuty by letwecu one and two hundred majority, whilst the Liquor question opera ted against us to the amount of three or four hundred. We are now several hun dred stronger than we were, then, and we only know of two or three, notwithstanding the boasting of the Gazette, who voted for us last fall who will vote against us now, and they have bten BOUGHT with some of the money sent on from WasUington for that purpose! Our friends may rest assur ed that the American ticket will be elected in Bedford County this fall. But to the letter of Mr King, read it, and form your own opiuion of the baseness of the Bucfrnn iers. For ike Inquirer and Chronicle. .Mr. Editor: —Having scon my name used in the last week's Gazette, among a number of pretended sice Jet s, (oune of them having voted with the American party for the lattt^eighteen mouths,) from the American party, I feel it to be but justice to myself, justice to the American party, and justice to the foul importers, who by the dishonorable menus obtained my signature, to make known to the public the gross imposition of which I have been the victim In short,l consider my signature to that detestable article, little else than a for gery. The circumstances are these: Ou the 26th ult.. having some business iu St. Olairsville, I agreed to go with a party from this place, to the 4 Pole liaising."— After arriving there, I (unsuspectingly) in dulged too freely, with some of the party, in that destroyer of reason—ardent spirits. This I believe to have been a preconcerted scheme, for I was treated ireeiy by the party, until (though 1 blush to own it) I became so much intoxicated as to be almost unconscious. It was while in this state, that that paper (the contents of which 1 never knew, until 1 saw it in the Gazette) was presented to me hy some of the tools of G. W. .Bowman, and my signature ob tained. The above are plain unqualified truths, and I regard it as an outrage, as a most dishonorable means to seduce ute from that party whose principles I have cherished for years—and which I yet cherish as dearly as ever—to a party which is only kept togeth er by the cohesive power of plunder.— When a party becofue* so corrupt that it is compelled to resort to such disgraceful means to secure votes, it is time for honest men to stand from under. I regard G. W. Row man and his accomplices as base impos ters, and warn my fellow Americans to be on their guard. Fellow Americans, lam with you ! 1 will give my vote and influ ence for FILLMORE and DONELSON, and the whole American State and County ticket. Should it ever become necessary, lam willing at any time to appear before a mag istrate, and testify to the truth of nty state ment. P.ca-suring you of my fidelity to the American party, I am. very truly, Ac., EKAST!IS KING. Sehellsburg, Aug. 4, 1856. The Gazette of last week asks, among other things, what has become of the princi ple of "Internal Improvements by the Gen eral Government?" The fool ! If he had been examining the proceedings of Con gress for the last few weeks, he would have seen. It is well known that Congress has passed in that time a large number of bills of tliis kind, probably from twenty to thir ty. They were vetoed by Mr. Pierce, and the Senate, (more than two-thirds Locofo cos) passed them over the President's veto* by nearly a unanimous vote, —so also did tho Ilonse ! This is what has become of that question, of old whig policy, aud we would not be surprised if the Buchaniers were to steal all the other principles for which the old Whig party fought. It is well known that Buchanan has been a bank man, a Tariff man, an Internal Improve ment man, and what reason have we to be lieve that be will not coinc back to his first love? Do you know now, Mister Bowman, what bas become of the Internal Improve ment question? It is now generally believed that SIBOO of the SIOO,OOO that was raised in Wash ishington to try to cany Pennsylvania for Buchanan, is now in the hands of the Loeo fuco leaders in this place. Look out for them, Americans, and if any of these silk stocking gentry approach any of you with their corrupt offers, spurn them as you would a cur from your presence. Here and there we hear that there is a man in the county, who is too lazy to work, and has generally depended on his urits for his sup port, who now has plenty of money to buy whiskey and treat his comrades! A \ or an X goes agreaj way with such man, BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. FALSE PBETEXCLS. AH men who attend our courts of justice often hare no doubt heard of the law of false pretencus. As we understand if, it is a law whereby the man who obtains any money or other valuable thing from another upou false representations and pretences, makes himself liable to iudictment in the court of Quarter .Sessions, and upon con viction to a sentence of a fine, and impris onment in the county jail or in tho peni tentiary, according to the aggravation of the case. This is the iguominious punish ment provided by Act of Assembly for pro curing mouey or goods on false pretences. Kank criminals under lhis law often es cape, either because not prosecuted, or be cause the prosecutor can not produce "satis factory proof, such as would be admitt cd in a court of justice,"' but the criminal who J thus escapes is morally as guilty as if he had been convicted. A little more shrewd ness in covering up his tiacks, is uo just : passport to pnblie favor, or to the regard of j honest men. .Oar idea is that false pre tenets is a crime, not only against an ex- j press act of assembly, but independent of all legislation upon the subject: and that even though the criminal may escape indict- j meiit and conviction in the quarter sessions j theie is a sound public opiuion ou this que*. i tion which will punish the offenders', and "put a whip in every honest hand to lash j the rascals nakd rouud the world." If ; then the same principles of morality and justice be applied to politics as to the other j affairs of men, what can be thought of those j political jesuits wio go upon the principle that "the end juttifios the meaus necessary to attain it."' IVho join one pally or an other under strong professions of attach ment lor its priutiples, aud great promises j and protestations of zeal for its advance- , lueut, and who laving thus by hypocritical professions of fidelity and attachment, or in other words, by Rise pretences, secured the confidence of the party, and then acquired a large share of u!i it had to give in th e shape of offices if profit or honor—the u turn round and -enounce ail allegiance to the party who had warned them into politi cal life, and at the same time lake good carc to hold on to the offices which had been secured for them. Against such offences as this, now quite coiunon, wo believe there is no punishment provided by act of Assem bly. The offence however is so palpably dishonorable and base that in the estimation of a sound publi: sentiment no honorable man would be glilty of it, and hence there is a punishment in some degree adequate to the offence. When Hannibal TLimtin, who had been democratic Senator from the State of Maine for Home years, concluded he could no long er support the Slavery extension Platform of the Cinciniati convention, or its candi date.", he cut up in his plaec iti the Senate and so iufomed his former party friends", and resigned the chairmanship of an import ant commit tea which his party in corifiaance had given hio. He is now before lus na tive State as t candidate for Governor aud has given no ice that if his State decides against him aid his present views, he will resign his sea; in the Senate. All will re cognize this SB an honorable course, and especially as li never used any false preten ces or kindred acts to secure his place. We wish these principles to be applied to home matter-'. We apprehend there arc some offices filled u Bedford County, and in Bedford Boroigh, which were obtained by false pretences of the most aggravated character, and are pertinaciously retained in direct violation of good faith and fair dealing. We cheet fully admit the offend ers are in uo danger of indictment in the quarter sessions, or imprisonment in the Penitentiary, and yet we apprehend the pub lic will consider thcui very little if any bet ter than some others who have been senten ced to theseplaccs of wholesome reformation for analogous offences. S. J. MCCACKLIN". —The Gazette has a few lines from this person last week attach ed to the card of b. niiodcmus, which is like the anecdote of the little Indian squaw following a largor one, with little knick knacks to sell, the larger one, at the top of her lungs, crying out all the good qualities of her articles, whilst the smaller one, with less sonorous voice, could only bawl out, "I tco! I too ." Mister Bowman makes great parade of his being a Justice of the Peace. This is truly laughable! The way he got the nomination was this. It is well known that nearly all the business of the Townsliip is dono in town, but the township is entitled to two officers. Moses Wiscgar ver, Esq., a good man, was nominated as the one candidate, and it was known he would be able to do more than all the busi ness generally doDe in the township. Con sequently no one would accept the nomina tion, uutil Jack got up and said he would take it! It was a bitter pill, but it was necessary the ticket should be filled. He was elected, and he and h. nicodemus brought all the obloquy no the party in the Borough and Township, tba t was ever cast upon us. He was the butt of their jibes and jokes, very silly, and we had to stand it. It is known by our friends that it wus considered doubtful if lie voted for us in 1854, and it is certain that he voted against us last fall! So the Btichau" iers make uothing there ! It dou't take much of the money sent on from Washington to buy here and there a ten ceut man ' I'XKECESSARY TKOI'BLE. Most men have enough to do to mind 1 their own business, and it is generally sup posed nothing more than proper to let other people attend to their business iu their own | way. Regardless of this sensible rule on i tho subject, the Gazette seems greatly dis i tressed at the manner in which the Ameri- I cans choOee their delegates to their Comity i and State conventions. He is troubled also j by the alleged fact that the same delegates j act too many years in succession,, or are re- I elected too often, lie insists that Col. j Thomas A. Boyd and Major Rupp the dele gates from Bedford Borough last year, are ; the same men as John Taylor and Peter 11. | Shires the delegates of this year, aud that Daniel Sams, Esq.. and David Sparks of West Providence who were delegates this year are the same as Jacob H. Barndollar, and M. M. Peebles Esq., who were dele gates to the Couuty Convcutiou last year; and so also, of the different Townships throughout the county. We had always supposed these to he different men, but as the Gazette so knowingly and positively affirms the contrary, wo suppose wo will ei ther have to give it up, or run the risk of briuging down upon us the legal gentle men of the County Committee with anoth er offer of SIOOO reward for some "clear aud satisfactory proof" upou the schjjcO ''such as would be received iu a coo rt of justice." Rather than incur such direful couse quencos. we have concluded to "cave in," and let it be considered as settled that Pe ter 11. Shires and John Taylor are identi cally the same men as Col. Boyd and Mayor Rupp; and so of all the other delegates. To avoid all future trouble and contro versy upon this important subject, howev er, we recommend to our American friends, and also to the Republicans throughout the county, that hereafiet whenever they intend, to choose delegates for any purpose whatev er, that they give timely notice to the edi tor of the Gazette, of not only the time and place, hut of the objects for which the del egates are to be chosen. He can then at tend iu person, and see that everything is done right, and need not fret himself af terwards upon the subject, or fill his valua ble columns with unavailing regrets. CORNER STONE LAVING. The corner atone of the Mount Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of llays If ill, was laid, with appropriate religious services, on Saturday the 26tb uit. '1 he introduc tory exercises took place in a beautiful grove, adjacent to the site, on which the church is to be erected. The Rev. 1. W. Conrad, of Dayton, Ohio, being on a visit to the Bedford Springs, preached the discourse on the occasion. The Rev. Messrs Kun klonian, M. M. Beehtcll, Benedict, J. Bech tcll, were present, and assisted the pastor, the Rev. \V. B. Beehtcll, in the services- The church will be 40 by 50 feet, built of brick, and finished in modern style. It is beautifully located upon an eminence, over looking the whole surrounding country.— Aboats3so were subscribed and paid,giv iug promise that the small additional amount necessary to the payment of the entire cost, will be cheerfully contributed at its conse cration. It will be an honor to the congre gation, an ornament to the neighborhood, and another spiritual centre of religious in fluence in the County. MORE DECLESSIOSS! Locofoeo Prosprcfs (iloomy! We had occasion several weeks ago, to notice a number of persons declining their position as candidates of the Locofoco party, and among theui that of Timothy Ives, of this State, the candidate for Surveyor Gen eral. IV e now have to record that of \\ M. M. HALL, Esq., of this County, as the candidate for County Surveyor. Our friend Hall, considers "discretion the bettor part of valor," and backs out! After procuring the nomination, and remaining the candi date for several week 1 ;, and feeling the pop ular pulse of the people of Bedford County, he was too wise and far-seeing to remain in the field and receive au inglorious defeat.— Indeed, we heard it intimated, that Sheriff Snively, bad almost come to the same con clusion, as he did not wish to stand the poll, as defeat was inevitable, and he was saga cious enough to see it, and thus interfere with and impair his future political pros pects." Our friends need not be disappoint ed to hear of others declining to run on the Buchanier ticket in this County before the election arrives, as we hear Bowman and a few others have a hard time of it in keep ing the ticket together. The Locofoco County Committee, without consulting the wisliCßofthe party placed S. Ketterman of Liberty, who has been in Bedford County only about two years, in nomination; but this makes no diference, us Dan. Sams will only beat bitn by a majority somewhere be tween 500 and 1000 votes! Mark our pre diction. We understand that h. nicoderans is go ing around town, trying to persuade Amer icans to leave the American party. He al so has been attemptiug to do the same thing with some of onr country friends. Wc no. tice this that our friends may be on their guard against the thing. He is not even noticed by a good dog"n this town any lon ger • OUR PROSPECTS.—From all we can see in our exchanges and from other source* we assure our readers that the ebaudes o® Millard Fillmore,are steadily increasing. In the North the contest lies principally be tween Fillmore and Fremont. Buchanan is out of the question. In New York, Ohio, and other States, the Buchanan men, seeing the hopelessness of their owu candidate, and preferring to see Fillmore elected to Free> uiont, are dropping into the support of Fill more by thousands. This will secure him New York, and in all probability Ohio also. Iu Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, lexas aqd Florida, and other States iu the South. The neutral papers are all hoist tug Fillmore and Donelsou, and quite a number of papeis in those States also that have been support ing Buchanan, have struck his flag and ore now boldly battling for Fillmore. They can't go Buchanan's Ostend Conference manifesto, the Buehauier Cincinnati Plat form and Squatter Soverignty. In Virginia, our prospects are good. Oov. Wise calls on the faithful to use every exertion for that State is in d&uger, as twenty thousand old line Whigs who voted for him for Governor, are BOW going for Filjmore. Missouri ts cer tain for Fillmore, so are Kentucky, Ten nessee,. Louisanitc, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina and Georgia, ludeed we would uot be surpris ed if Buchanau would ttot get more than oue or two Southern States. (If the l'ree I States, Fillmore will cary New \ork, Mas i sacbusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and probably. Pennsyl vania, and three or foui others. We con sider Fillmore's election almost certain, and it is even seriously proposed by some of Buchanan's own friends, especially in the South, to withdraw him from the contest. Let the American party stand firm, our prospects are bright, anu Fillmore's prospects | grow brighter every day. HI; LL All IPS PA NOP AM A .

"From the developments wiiie!i have a!- ready transpired it is absolutely positive that Mr. Buchanan is the weakest of the three candidates in the field: that in the North he is impotent to the last degree,and without the assurance of carrying a single State, not even Pennsylvania, aud that the coutest in the North is real!) between Cul_ Fremont and Mr. Fillmore. At all events no one will deny that if it be true that the contest in the North is be tween Fillmore and Fremont, every South ern vote cast for Buchanan is virtually a vote in favor of Fremont, it, therefore, be comes of the highest iiupoitalice to point out clearly and unmistakably what public sentiment is at the North, and to warn Southern uicmto avoid being misled by tbe blataut outeiies of rampant partisan* o r salaried officials.
