Mr. Davis' speech, from which the tore
igoiQg extracts are iaken.be it borne in tnind
was delivered as early as January 23d, and
yet, not one word was heard of it misrep
resenting Mr. Buchanan, until the 3d of
March, some six weeks afterwards. Public
sentiment had, however, during that time
been directed to the extraordinary doctrines
of Mr Buchanau's speech, and when lie
found how unpopular those doctrines were,
he tried to 'eat his own words' by charging
misrepresentation on Mr. Davis.
The following is a certificate furnished to
Mr. Davis in 1640, by si* member* of the
House of Representatives. Read r:
"The undersigned deem it due to trutv,

sf-eech of the Hon. Mr. Buchanan ou the

on the wages of labor; that tbey have read
the reply of the Hon. Mr. Davis to that
epeecL, delivered on the 23d of the anie
month. And they further way, that in said
reply, there is no misrepresentation of the
remarks of Mr. Buchanan and that their un
derstanding oi the arguments and reasoning
of Mr. Buchanan on that occasion, was the
same as that of Mr. Davis, and by him set

We also give the following extracts from
the proceeding of the Senate, coutained in
the Madtsonian, March 7, 1840.
*Mr. Preston, (Senator frotu Sonih Car
olina,) took occasion, after the conversation
betweeo Messrs. Buchanan and Davis wa*
over, to state emphatically that he had ap
prehended the meaning and force of the re
mark* of the Senator from Pennsylvania
precisely as they bad been understood bv
Mr. Davis.
OHIO IS COMING.
The Washington Organ savs:
"A prominant of Congress
from Ohio of the Democratic party, now in
this city, gires it as bis opinion that Fill
more will carry Ohio! The Buchanan men
iuthst State are rapidly coming over u> the
national candidate. They cannot stand
squatter sovereignty and the Osteud doc
trine."
The above corresponds with the infor
mation of two observant gentlemen just
from Ohio, who have freely stated their opin"
ions to our eitiscn*. One of them, an old
fine whig, says, that four weeks ago he did
not hear a shout for Fillmore, in pasting
through the whole length and breadth of
Ohio; bnt that on his return he was struck
With the change, his ears were everywhere,
greeted by huzzuhs for the American can
didates and ha was in many places assnred
that the revolution in favor of Fillmore and
Doue'.son, guaranties the state to the Amer
ican farty. The other, an out-and-ont
democrat, well educated and intelligent;
dots not hesitate to declare publicly, that
Buchanan is virtually out of the canvas,
and bis not the remotest chance of election
to the Presidency. We need not give
names, as they have conversed in the same j
strain with many of our citisens.

BUCHANAN AND THE ABOLITION
ISTS.
i Our Locofocn friends are constantly de
nouncing tfae opponents of Buchanan's elec
tion as abolitionists and disnciouists. Of
course this is done merely fur effect, and
with a fall knowledge of the falsehood
all such charges. The fact is, the aboli
tionists hare their own aaadidaUss lor the
Presidency and Vice I'resideucy, in the per
sons of Germ Smith, of New York, and a
Mr. M'Farland, of Pennsylvania. If seem*
however, by recent developments that they
are now seriously agitating the question
among themselves whether they shall vote
for their own ticket, Smith and M'Farland,
or for Buchanan and Breckinridge. Pills
bury, one of the most noted abolitionists of
Massachusetts, recommends his party to 1
vote for the liocofoco ticket, because it is j
the most ultra on the slavery question, !
whilst he deprecates the election of eithe r
Fillmore or Fremont, because be considers ,
the moderation of their views upon the
slave qastion as fatal to all the projects of j
abolitionism We have mislaid the paper j
in which Pillsbury and others of his kidney '
urge the policy of supporting Buchanan, !
but hope to lay it before our readers before ;
long. The idea is thus; The abolitionists j
are for nnceasing agitation npon the sub.
ject of slavery. Fillmore and Fremont are
for letting slavery alone whvro it was pla
ced by the ordinance of 1787 and the Mis
souri Oouiprotniao of 18'20; whilst Buchan
an and bu party by the Cincinnati platform, j
tfje Kansas-Nebraska bill, Missouri inva
sions, ami the United States troops are dri
ving slavery into Kansas ia violation of the
sound principles of our anoostors, and in
defiance of the will of the resident cititens !
of Kansa". Thj& is agitation of the worst'
kind, and hence tho abolitionists prefer >
Buchanan, for by his election they see agi- j
tatioD can be continued How often do we i
find ID politics, as well *3 other things, that
extreme meet. Extreme views on this
question are held by oniy two parties in
this country. The one is the radical and
nisra abolitionists of the Piilsbury school,
who are few in numbers, and who advocate
the abolition of Slavery in the Slave States,
o/ in other words they profess a desire to
atoiitionizr the South. The other extreme
party it the party of Pierce, Douglas and
Buecanan, which is respectable in numbers,
which acta at defiance all the wholesome
restraints impMed upon slavery by the fa
thers of the republic and tbc framers of
the Coustiintiou, and is n<m attempting to
force slavery into Kansas '' ;e point of
the bayonet by frami and violence. This
is the party wbi<;h if attempting to African,
ise the North.
Millard Fillmore and the Amencsv P ar "
ty stand open neither of these extrtnvs;
bat iron constitutional grounds. W ar<
alike opposed to Abolitionising the South,
and to Africaniaing the North; aod hence
we are so bitterlj opposed by these two par
tics North and South, who hold xucb ultra
and extreme views upon this everlasting
slavety question. Hence it is also that the
abolitionists are id favor of James Buchan
an and the slavery extension parts, whose
candidate he is.
Hear a Man!
STiSD FROM UNDER!
We publish below a letter from Mr.
James M. Taylor, of Napier Township, one
of the persons the Gazette published week
before last as having gone over to the Ir>-
cofocos. It will be seen that he talks like
a man and a true American. lie also ex
poses the lying and slanders which were
resorted to, to get him into the embrace of
that monster of iniquity, Locofocoiem! —
They can't make anything off such men as
Mr. Erastus King, whose letter we pub
lished last week, or Mr. James M. Taylor.
We hear of a number of others that have
been reported by Ijocofocoism to have
joined them, that are as good Americans as
are in the county, and will vote uo other
ticket. The home truths of these gentle
men, whom a corrupt partv have attempted
to wheedle into the support of the greatest
enemy of the poor man, will have a crush
ing effect all over Bedford county. Bow
man, the RECOIL has commenced 1 step
aside, or be swallowed so the whirlpool of
your own making:
TO THE PUBLIC.
MB. OVER:—In the Gazette of the In
1 of August inst., among a number of names
| of persons from Napier, nearly every one of
! whom lias alwajs voted the Locofeeo ticket,
I and never anything else, I uotioe that they
Lave mine among the number. The man
ner in which they procured my narao to that
paper, I consider both disreputable and
dishonorable! They represented to me
that the American party was in favor of
making the negroes free and on au equal it}
with the white men, Ac., <fce., (all of which
1 now know to be false.) and in an unguard
ed moment, 1 consented to put my name to
that paper, scarcely knowing anything in it,
aud never supposing that they would take
the liberty of publishing it in the Bedford
Gazette, one of the greatest /ytng and
most shameful llnckguaid sheets in the
State. lam now fully convinced that they
rely on carrying their cause by the most
shameful lying and vituperation. lam also
convinced that they have been sent on from
Washington a LAKGE AMOUNT OF MONEY,
which they arc using in BUYING I P VOTERS
for Buchanan in this county. In conclu
sion, I would stale to my American friends
that I am heartily with them, and am op
posed to Buchanan, who. in 1840, ndvoca
catcd tie reduction of I fie price of labor, of
poor men, like myself, to TEN CENTS A
DAY! lain for FILLMORE and DOS
ELSON, and ibo WHOLE STATE ANI> COUN
TY TICKET, and would remark that every
poor man in the North should Cad it to his I
interest to support the American candi
dates.in opposition to the Loeoiocos who fa- ,
vor low wages, and the Inre outrages in '
Kansas, in which they wish to force slave- !
ry into that territory,in order to bring it in
to competition with the free white labor of
the North.

Y. Tribune.
The above paragraph reminds ue of Col.
iilacir K efforts in Ohio. By extensive puf
fing our J>ocofoco friends have got up quite
a reputation for the Col.as a great speaker.
In 1853 Medili, the Locofoco candidate for
Governor was elected by about forty thous
and majority. In 1855 he was re-uoiuiua
ted, but the Kansas-Nebraska biii in the
meantime had been passed, and there was
some pretty strong indications that the Ohio
democracy would not 3tand it. A number
of celebrated speakers were hunted up, to
persuade them that all was right, and not
the least among those imported orators was
Col. Samuel W. Black of Pittsburg. He
at.ended their mass meetings and stumped
the great Buckeye State extensively, and
numerous reports dcolared that everything
was being carried by storm. But alas fo r
the uncertainty of sublunary tilings' Me
diil was not only defeated, but tbe party
lost the state bv something like t kirtv thou
sand. showing a slight change of only
seventy thousand in two years. The Colon
el's eloquence did not seem to take in Ohio,
and he is now trying itin Pennsylvania, and
we doubt not will meet with similar results.
la the ist Gazette is a communication
from H. Nicodemus, accompanied by a Card
signed by two of the Directors, wbich Hen
ry tliinkß will fasten the charge of false
hood upon us, iu regard to his being a can
didate for Clerk of the Poor House. We
were in error only in the statement. The
facts are these: Henry remarked to a num
ber of persons that be would not ask for
the office, but that if the Directors appoint
ed him, be would accept! We know bo felt
disappointed that he did not receive the ap
pointment from conversation he had with us
on the subject. This led ui iulo the error
of his being a candidate. The differenco is
about the same as betwixt tweedledeo and
tweedledum. Henry acknowledges by hi s
silence all our other charges—and they are
enough on this subject.

BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
COTO HIDING!
Mr. John G. Hartley, came into our office
last week, and discontinued our paper,which
be had a perfect right to do! lie also paid
us for two years subscription, wbich was
very comfortable.' After leaving the office,
be told us through our window that he would
"cowhide" us if we ever again mentioned bis
name in our paper! This would not be
quite so comfortable! All this wc presume is
on aceount of our expose of his conduct in
deserting the Democratic) party whilst he
was their candidate, and then again desert
ing the American party! We will now ia
form his honor, that lie is a public officer,
and that when bis public acts, or those of
any other servent of the people, in our esti
mation, deserves our criticism, we will, as
a faithful sentinel on the watch-tower, fear
lessly discharge that duty! If Judge Hart
ley wishes to be exempt from the criticism
of the press, let him resign the office he
now holds in violation of the wishes of the
party that elected him, and return to private
life. His pubhc acts, if they deserve it,shall
meet with that condemnation they merit,
regardless of bis threats of "eowliding" or
anything else. "Fearless and Free " in the
discharge of our duties, we will ever re
main! The Judge's conduct deserved a
public expose, and we have given it'
V e call attention to an article on our out
side, to-day, in answer to the §I,OOO Re
ward of the Looofuco Committee of Bed
ford Conntv, in relation to tho Low Wages
speech delivered by James Buchanan in
1840. It is cle-ir and will convince every
one who might be the least skeptical of the
autbentici'y of the speech iu question. We
take the article front the Philadelphia Dai
ly News, a paper from which the Bedford
Gazette for several months past, has been
in the habit of weekiy extracting almost all
its political articles, in opposition to Co!.
Fremont. If the Daily News be such good
authority , iu the estimation of the legal
Committee who have charge of the Gazette,
we would like like to know if that paper is
not equally good authority against Buchan
an. Believing this to be the case, we ex
pect to see the article in the Gazette of this
week. Btft for fear that it may not so ap
pear, we call on all, Locofocos, Americans
and Whigs to read it. It is unanswerable.
AN OUTRAGE.
\\ e arc agaia compelled to complain of
the Post office department. Last week we
mailed our papers for St. Clair Township on
Thursday evening, as usual. We are now
iuformed, on reliable authority, that they
were sent out to St. Clairsville on Friday,
which was all right. The mail from St.
Clairsville to Alum Bank goes over on Sat
urday, and ought by 11 means to have ta
ken our papers to Pleasantvifle and all that
section of country on that day. We have
reliable iufoimatioo that for some reason or
other, our papers instead of being sent ove,
as they should have been, were kept back
in St. Clairsville, and are there yet, and
will remain there until next Saturday, as
it is ouly a weekly mail. This is an out
rage on all our subscribers residing in the
western cud of St. Clair TowDsbip, and one
we hope may not be repeated. We expect
ed better things from the Post Master at
St. Clairsville, and we hope we may not
have occasion for further complaint for
similar neglect of duty.
Oar article on the outrage of the Loeo
focos ir. causing the removal of Mr. Wai.
M'Mnllin from the Telegraph Office on ac
count of political reasons, and aid Ms beinr
a .Mechanic has waked up the "Lscofooo
County Committee," in the last Gazette. In
answer to the Committee, we would state,
that it is not necessary for us to give tlw:
nam's of the persons who urged this as a
cause for his removal. Let them ask Mr.
M'Mullin and he will be able to inform them
wuo arc these Locofoco aristocrats.
MEETING.
According to previous arrangements, a
meeting of the Amerieau Council of St.
Clair Township met at Griffith's School
House in said township, on the 9th August
inst.
On motion, D. B. Wisegarrer Esq., was
called to the Chair, J. H. Wright, Esq.,
and Anion Edwards appointed Vice Presi
dents, and George C. Davis and Samuej
Clark, Secretaries. After the election of
officers iii the Council for the ensuing
year, the following resolutions were offered
and unauiinously adopted:
Resolved, That we will use all honora
ble meaus to secure the election of Millard
Fillmoie and A. J. Donelsoo to tbe Presi
dency and Vice Presidency of the United
States, and to further the interests of the
American Parry, and through rt the inter
ests of our common country; and to this end
we pledgo ourselves to vote for no one for
any public office whatever who is not a ua
tivo born citizen of America, nor for any
one who owes auy allegiance whatever to
any foreign potentate, whether civil or ec
clesiastic, or for any one who i* either di
rectly or indirectly in favor of a dissolution
of these States; and therefore we further
pledge onrsclves to oppose to the best of
our ability the present administration and
to vote for the uominess of the American
National Convention, Millard FilUuoro aud
A. J. Donelson.
Resolved, That we will support the Union
State ticket nominated at Harrishurg, and
use all honorable means in our power for
its success,
Resolved, That we will give our undivi
ded support to the Vloonty tuiket.
Resolved Tnat the pro.-oudingi of this
meeting be pvblished in the Bedford Inqut
rrr and C'/troniclt.
We copy the following artiole from an
old Bedford Inquirer, in relation to James
Buchanan's Federalism, and conduct in re
gard to the war of 1812. The artiole was
published, as will be aeon, on the 20tb of
Aug. 1838, at a time when the parties
named thcreiu were all living. Tho writer
spoke from the book, and his statements
then, and since, have never been denied,
nor can they he, as his celebrated Oration,
ot 4th of July 1815, and many other facts,
sustain all the charges ever brought against
hiiu on that score: "
JAMES BUCHANAN.
MR. SLENTZ.—"Haviug frequently seen
the charge against that would-be~democr<ft
the Hon. James Buchanan, "that if he had
one drop of democratic blood in his veins,
he would let it out, denied by some of the
Van Buren Tory papers; I will now give
such information as will prove, iu defiance
of all contradiction, that if this veritable
James Buchanan did ueverniake use of that
expression, that nevertheless this would-be
great black-cockade Buchanan had uo de
mocratic blood in his veins to let out.
j At the gloomiest period of the last war
; between the United States and great Bri
tain, after the surrendet of General Hull at
Detroit, and the defeat and massacre of a
great part of the army under General Win
chester, at the timo that volunteers aud
detachments of militia were organizing and
marching to the place of rendezvous, for
forming the Northwestern Army under the
command of the patriotic, brave, and good
Gen. Harrison, by whose military prowess
and consummate skill as a General aud Com
mander-in-Chief, with the gallant army un
der his command, the British army, with
their savage allies were expelled from De
troit, and the conquest of Upper Canada
achieved. But to the point, it was, as al
ready stated, ut the gloomiest period of the
war, that Brigadier General John Noble, u
worthy citizen now living, though in years,
while on military duty in the year 1813, iu
otgauizing the Militia quota to be detached
from his Brigade, bad occasion to stop at a
very respectable Hotel in this County, (Mr.
C. lleauier a) where, at the same time aud
place was our identical Hon. James Bu
chanan, who though then a young man, was
old enough to be bold and impertinent in
his abuse of our then democratic adminis
tration. It was there he strutted inflated
! in all the pomposity of his blue light feder-
I alism, reviling the great aud good Madison
! and his administration; Leaping abuse and
i reproaches on his friends and advocates
: who were the frieuds and advocates of the
i War measures, stigmatizing the democrats
| who were the friends of the Government, j
! and approved of the necessity and justness !
: ot' the war—yes, the democrats, wttfc were ,
making personal and pecuniary sacrifices in I
the support and prosecution ot it. And the ;
said Buchanan, in conclusion, ridiculed the
idea of our country beiug able to cope with
the gigantic power and force, the British
were able and preparing to bring against
us, be said "that the ocean and the seas
were covered with an invincible British
fleet, and aimed ships of war, that they ;
sere about sending over an overwhelming
army that could be spared from Europe by
the downfall of Bonaparte." In short, he
insinuated that any further effort and resist
ance on our part would be iu vain, &c.—
Sacb, in substance were the remarks made
in tho presence of General Noble, who at
the conclusion of which replied, saying,
"I must ao'w tell you, Mr. Buchanan, and
warn you in the name of my country, that
it is not our external enemies that we have
so much to dread as our internal enemies-"
Buchanan was for a moment confounded at
being named by ouc not peisonally known
to hint, and enquired of General Noble
who he meant by his remarks. "I mean,"
replied the General, 'such utea as you, sir.'
Buchanan aid no more, aud left the pres
ence of the General immediately, conscience
smitten, no doubt, that he was acting more
like a foo than a friend to his country; act
ing strictly in accordance with the views of
the blue light federalists. The foregoing i
statement can he substantiated by living
witnesses.

TO THE OLD LIXE WHIGS.
It is really disgusting to see the attempts
of the Loco Foco press to cajole the old
Whigs, to the support of their candidates.
Not satisfied with killing HENRT CLAY by
lying, and would now defame the illustrious
dead if they made votes thereby, are using
every effort to induce old Clay Wbigs to
unite with them in the election cf Mr. Bu
chanan, the tradacerof Henry Clay.
\V bigs! look at this infernal picture, pub
lished in every Loco Foco papr in the j

FILLMORE'S PROSPECTS.
We present to-day a few extracts from
letters showing the progress of the "Ameri*
can Refonnation" throughout the country,
and furnishing evidence tnat the days of
deiaagogistn, foreignistu, and "sGUattcr
sovereignty," arenniubered, that the Ameri
can candidates nra destined to realize a
glorious triumph, and tbo American policy
to be speedily inaugurated.
From lowa, a letter dated 15th inst.,
says :
"Fillmore stork is decidedly on the rise
here, Fromont atock abating; no euthusiasm
for Buchanan, * * * When we come
to vote forProsident, there being threa tickets
in the field it will be hard to toll who will
get the State, but I think 'Buck' will get if
unless Fremont turns up a Catholic, if that
proves true. Fillmore will got the State.—

ci'diown to Buck and Fillmore.
