Mr. F.eitok:— J hope it will not be ta
ken amiss if 1 k' yon bear of our doings
away down in Ivast Providence Township.
Tue*tlav the lygth inst., wa tho day ap
pointed for the Democrats of this township
to meet at Air. D. A. T. Black's Hotel to
hear the great principles of Democracy dis
cussed. Alout one o'clock, P. M. they
cane from the North, South, East and
West. The Bloody Run delegation came
with the speakers and band of uiartial mu
sic, and, iu the language of the pcet,
'•They hail a little thing,
liouud afound with leather,
And they lieat upon it,
l o call Uie men together."
And r,hen they got together, they had about
twenty voter! of this towusbip; the rest of j
he company was made tip of bovs and |
voters froui other townships, with a few
Americans and Whigs, in all about fifty.—■ j
John 11. Barton being appointed presideut, !
and the rest of the board filled out, Mr.
Hopkins, from Pittsburg, was called on to t
address the meeting. Prom this gentleman
1 did expect to hoar the principles of the
party discussed, bi:t after a few preliminary j
remarks about.the party, he lit upon the K-
X. pariv like a hawk upon a June bug, j
and tore (hem all to pieces, He said they ■
were one tiling in Pennsylvania and anotlr- |
< r in other part>—admitting Catholics in
Louisiana, and 1 eing opposed to them in
Pennsylvania. He said that Filltnore, if
d-cted,is sworn t" proscribe Catholic, and
sworn to protect the Constitution. He
tried to show the inconsistency of this, but
failed. He then took up Fremont, calliug
hint ami his party woolly heads, and went
m tc show his deeds of greatness, which
would, make him President. 1 s ii stole his
wife, ii.be lived on grasshopper pie and
mule soup while in tire Rocky Mountains.
he part-; his hair like a woman. He then
left htm unC'.'it bombastic way. He then
turned to the Hemoeratie. -oarty, and said
;li.it it had arrayed iteelf on the side of the
Union, (as much as to say that it was the
lirst time) hut J. C. Fremont and his part)'
were against it. After ko had exhausted
this, which he did in a few words, l.c ap
pealed to ail the democrats, and asked them
if they wwedd let the Union be dissolved.—
If they would not, then vote for Buchanan.
Next Joseph \V. Tate ppoke. He came
forth with all the pomposity and dignity
that he possesses, and uude a vety learned
display by lay ing upon the table a large
bundle of newspapers, as much as to say,
' Gentlemen, if I have not got it in my
head, I have it in this bundle of papers."
He tucn enuirjcneed by calling all th P
"Whigs, K. N., Republicans and note ta
kers" to come into the room, at the same
time Hying to the window and hoisting it
so that (as I supposed) his eloquence might
have vent, and Dot buret the house (or him
self.) I thought we would have something
"very Unifying," and that Americanism
and Republicanism would be reasoned out
of existence, and the broad platform of
democracy would cover our country like a
beautiful garment. But, Mr. Editor, it
was like what yon have often *cen in our
western sky—clouds upon clouds, tower
ing one above another—becoming darker
and darker, predicting a deluge, and as it
rears you; but by the time it reaches you,
it proves to he a few drops of ram and the
rest wind. His first was a burlesque about
negroes, &o His second fas Americans
sold to Fremont. This was stated, but no
attempt made to prove it. II if third was

the SIOOO bet that Buchanan never advo
cated ten cents a day. Ili/ fourth, where
are the Whigs that believed in Harry of
the West? Ilia fifth w/.s extoliing Brooks
and lowering those vho voted hitn to go
home and not disgr ace the halls of Con
gress again with Via deeds of blood. His
sixth was. are all the old line Whigs
—honorable mm—and a cordial invitation
t join their tanks, btit none joined. Yea,
they want the whigs who stood by Harry
of the West as the greatest man of his day,
and honor hitn in bis grave, to now vote
for a man who slandered him. This same
J. W. Tate and his party, that now open
their bosmu so kindly to take you in, were
the men that stood up when Henry Clay
i was running, and called hint two-faced
Harry and a duelist; and you who voted
| for him, disunionists, Federalists, abolition
ists and rebels. Now they come to you
! and say, "Come, go with us, and help us.
i for these other parties are getting too
strong for us, and unless we are propped
;up by you Whigs we will fall." Whigs,
; let me say to yon, spurn every offer that
| they make to you, for
"Their friendship is a lurking snare.
Their houor but an idle breath;
Their smiles, the smiles that tiaitors wear,
Tbeir love is hate, their life is death,"'
Again, Mr. J. W. Tate said in tbe outset
of bis discourse, that "Democracy baa made
our country what it is." Well, what is
our country? A few years ago Henry Clay
used liis power to reconcile the north and
south on the slavery question, and succeed
ed, though his body sank beneath its labor
ious task: and scarcely had bis remains
been laid in the tmil>, until Mr. Douglas,
a leading Democrat, had to stir up the
question, aud had the infamous Nebraska
bill passed. What has it done? you ask.—
It has caused civil war in Kansas, the
North and Sonth have arrayed themselves
in open coufliid, brother has slain brother,
and scenes too disgraceful to be named in
this free country, have all beeu wansed by
Democracy. In our Senate Chamber, when
thins* pertaining to the |>eaee and happiness
cf those territories were being discussed,
blood wis shed by a Democrat, and he who
was standing up for their rights and the
Union, was struck to the floor like an ox.
t), Democracy, thou dost blush and veil
thyself on account of thy hypocritical fol*
lower?. The Democrats say the Know
Nothings arc a curse to our country, lor
the S3 ke of argument let us admit it. Who
or wiewt caused that party? Was it not the
Democrats? Go back with me to the time
when James Campbell, a Catholic, was run
ning for Supreme Judge. The people ot
Pennsylvania said by their votes that he
shotpd not be elected; but sonic of the lead
ers of Deun>cracy saw 'hat they would lose
the Catholic vote, and this would be admit' l
blow towheir party; so they got Gov. Big
ler to give him a high office in • the State
and it was doue. Then Pierce came upon
the stage for President, pledged to the
Cittholics, that he would make Mr. Camp
bedl P. M. General. It was done,—the
Bishops of Dome leading our country and
electing the President; and out of this
£.-ew the Know Nothing or American party.
l>eniocraey did thus *'id if tbfl American
party is a curse to our country, the eurse
rests upon the Democratic party, and every
one of you, according to your owu words,
have the mark of Cain upon you. Get
over this if you can. Now you come out
and ask Whigs and Americans who are
tired of their party, to enlist, and fight un
der your blood-stained banner of disunion.
It was said by one of the speakers that the
I Democratic party had swallowed up every
I partv that has yet appeared. It puts roe in
mind of one snake swallowing anothen
commencing at the tail; when it got it half
down it choked to death, and the one that it
! tried to swallow ran off with it-. Democ
racy tried to swallow Federalism long ago,
hut it choked on it, and Federalism with
. dead Democracy hanging to it, is running
away with it, leading our country to ruin,
and that head it James Buchanan.
tieneial Bowman was the next speaker,
lie drew the bom, but bis speech showed
before be closed that the man was not
there. I need not inform you of that
smooth and pious manna.* that he makes use
of wbon he wishes to earry tba feelings of
bis audience. He said we must all eta no
before the Judge and give an account of
oar deeds, &e. I felt solemn, 'bat it was a
solemnity of indignation, for I knew lie
would first charm, and then strike to kill,
like a snake with its prey. After he got
through with these preliminary remarks, he
went back to General Jaokson, and took a
start on the old IL S. Batik, aud gare it a
few ob its sore side, that has been slumber
ing for many years. Then he took up the
tariff of 1842, and contrasted it with the
one of 1846, which was right, because i t
-stt Democratic measure, lie forgot to tell
us how they said they were as true to the
tariff of 1842 as the wbigs were, and yet
as soon as they had the power, they de
stroyed it and made one of their own. Ho
then came on to Know Nothingisro, what it
had done and what it had not done, and
from this he stepped over to Republicanism
and showed how it and Know Nothingism
was one and the same thing; and by the
way, he had to give the Rev. Sdhmucker,
D. 1). a ridiculing on the negro question.—
lie said he bad a private conversation
with the Dr. on this subject, at Bedford,
and here, at Rays Hill, he ridiculed him.—
But those that Know Bowman and Dr.
Schmncker know that Bowman's tongue
cannot injure him.
The rest of his speech was ground the
others had traveled over, with the excep
tion of how he had taken a stand against
the K. N. Party in this county, told the
people how it was, and bow it would end,
and now his friend Mr. Xicodemua tells
him he was right. He also told us of his
! standing firm for the drinking of liquor
when a man feels for it; and here let me add
that some of his good Democrats from the
Harbour took his advice, and got somewhat
over enough, and on the way home got to
quarreling, and one was clubbed over the
| head and back with a gun, so that the Dr.
I had to be called from his rest and go and
1 bind up the wounds of the stricken down
; Democrat, who lay weltering in his gore,
and is likely to be confined to his bed for
! some time, as the physician informs me.—
i Democracy made the last liquor law, and
: again our courts are filled with trials for
! murder committed wlion in liquor; and this
' last act will more than likely have to go to
I our court to be settled. Democracy has
i made our country what it is. and our coun
i ty and State what they arc.

THE LOCOFOCO MEETING AT MON
ROE.
MR. EDlTOß—Happening to be in our
little village to-day, just after the sua had
passed the meridian, my attention was at
tracted by a great concourse of people as
sembled about a certain porch. Curiosity
led me to inquire the cause, and 011 repair
ing to the place, I found it to be a meeting !
of the Democracy of Bedford county.— j
The meeting was organized by calling the !
honorable David Evans, Esq., to the chair, j
and appointing a couple of Vice Presi-1
dents and a Seoretary. Major Tate, of <
your Borough, then proceeded to address \
the meeting in a most eloqueut and sweat- i
ing manner, and was immediately followed
by Mr. Sobell, in about the same stuain;
and as you know the Democrats are prover
bial for veracity, they must have told us a
great deal of truth, for they were a long
time about it. The speakers were very
earnest in their manner, and the hearer*
were none the less so, in their eagerness to
catch the notes of glowing eloquence, that
came down like a "thousand of brick," to
fasten the spikes in the Buchanan platform.
Well, they told us how the Democracy saw
the daogerons tendency of the United
States Bank, aud with General Jackson at
their head they pulled it down, and substi
tuted the sub-Treasury, knocked off the
Tariff of '42, and now we had ail our
debts paid and millions of surplus money
left. This good news made Sam laugh in
his sleeve, (I don't mean the Major) for he
thought it might not be long till the Demo
crats, with old Buck at their head, would
strike a dividend, and Sam might get a few
Jimmys out of that surplus fund in hit pock
et, and that would ccrtaiuly be much bet
ter than to work for it at a Jimmy a day.
' But they reiterated the declaration that old
Buck did never advocated such doctrine.—
We all knew that he did not specify ten
cents a day, but he did advocate, the reduc
' tion of wages to the European standard,
and that, every informed man knows only
amounts to about ten cents a day. The
Major also told us that Mr. Fillmore was as
good a national man as Mr. Bchanan; yes,
thought we, and deal better, for he is a roan
of deoision and stern integrity, but limber
Jimmy is only the tool of a party, and
wlien he jumps into a briar bash and scratch
es ont his eye?, he will immediately jump
into another and scratch ibem in again.—
But, Mr. Editor, when they had said all
theee thing?, what excited cheering ! It
I wonld have doue you good to hear it; the
| President had rocked like a green pumpkin
1 on a wheelbarrow, and the clapping of hands
would have reminded you of the flapping of
a group of half-fledged Shanghais, with
their legs just untied at the market.
Well, after eujoyiog the rich political
banquet, and ascertaining that out of fifty
voters present at the meeting, only thirty
two were Americans, we calculated that
Mr. Buchanan would stand a pretty good
chance for a majority in Monroe Township*
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 22 1850.
and so we left for home, remaining
Yours, in hope of the triumph of
American principles.
INCOGNITO.
WHAT SHOW HAS BUCHANAN?
■
Never has a Presidential Candidate
! declined so rapidly in the popular estimation
as Buchanan. His norc ; atiotj was an
nounced amid vain-glorious predictions that
he would sweep the Uuion with but a farce
of the belief in his triumphant
election was wide-spread; two months have
not yet, elapsed, and it is already- apparent
that he will be last andjeast in the contest-
Tbe revolution in the popular sentiment
shows no sign of abatement, but is steadliy
surely, fatally progressing; and ibis a curi"
i ous inquiry to ask, what show has Buchan
an?
In the sixteen non slave-holding States.—
the stampede of the so-called democracy to
the Block Republicans has been so gdtmral
that Mr. Buchanan's strength in any of them
is no greater than in Pennsylvania. The
Sag Nicht press has striven to conceal this
wide spread defection from its readers, lest
the panic should extend still further, but its
existence is an established fact and must be
ruinous to Buchanan's prospects. We have
heretofore shown from the highest demo
catic authorities, that the "favorite son"
cannot carry his native State. Thu Free
Statc-s cast 176 Electoral votes. There are
21)6 votes in the Electoral College; of which
149 are required to elect.
The fifteen slave-holding States hive an
aggregate of 120 electoral votes. Even
should Buchanan carry At!, of those, he
would ueed 29 more to elect lain. Add
Pennsylvania, Cor sake of illustration, and
be would still lack two, of the requisite
number. But Mr. Buchanan cannot carry
the Southern State* in a body. Oar oppo
nent" concede Maryland, Delaware and
Kentucky, with their 23 votes to
.Mr. Fillmore, ami his-friends connt with
well-founded confidence on Tenes*ee, Mis
souri, Loumiana, Alabama, Florida aod X.
Carolina, with 49 votes, in additiuu. Ler
us put down Georgia and Virginia, with 25
votes, as doubtful, though Fillmore's pros
pects are daily brightening in both, while
those of his opponents in this section of the
Union are as rapidly waning, and unless the
under current of opinion! he checked, there
can be no doubt, these States will swell the
majority of Fill more ad Donelson. Sc
that only four remaiD-—Texas, Arkansas,
Mississippi and South Carolina, as likely
under the present asnectof affairs, to adhere
to the Cincinnati noininte.
Let the reader pondtr, and from the in
formation spread befort him make his own
calculations, for greater facility in so do
ing, we give the elector:! vote of the States.

The bill passod by the House of Repre
sentatives, at the instance of Mr. Dunn, of
Indiana, who, it will be remembered, is a
Fillmore man, and beads the Fillmore

an entire re-organization of the Territory,
and forbids the Legislative Assembly from

The bill, also, repeals so much of the
Kansas Nebraska act as abrogates the Mis

ActjeiUal of Herbert—Hidcalfy in
Court —Another Duel Stopped,
Washington, July 26.—1n the Herbert
trial, last evening, .Mr. Preston, for the
prosecution, wished to reply to Mr. Wal
ker's strictures, which was objected to by
the council for the prisoner. Ex-Mayor
Lenox, who was standing near, was over
heard by Mr. Iladcliffe to observe that that
was unfair or unjust. Mr. Kadcliffo sharply
said they wanted no outsider's interference,
and iu the course of a hurried colloquy, Mr.
Lenox called him a liar. Mr. Iladcliffe
dashed at Mr. Lenox, and Mr. Bradly in
terposed to prevent a collision. Such is the
version of tho affair.
Subsequently, Deputy Marshal Philips
made a complaint before Justice Thomson,
who was on the premises, that he had reason
to believe that Mr. Iladcliffe had sent, and
Mr. Lenox had received a cltallonge. Mr.
Iladcliffe was forthwith arretted and held
to hail in $3,000 not to fight a duel. A
warrant was also served on Mr. Lenox, but
he failed to appear.
There is much excitement and indigna
tion among the Irish population at the ac
quittal of Herbert. He left Washington
early this morning. The two trials have
cost tlie Government about eighteen hundred
dollars.
Ex-Mayor Lencx has been arrested and
held to bail, not to fight a dutl with Mr.
Radel.ffe.
Several other personal difficulties grow
ing out of the Herbert affair, still remain
unsettled.

POLITICAL ITEMS.
THE Fillmore Demonstration at Troy, on
Tuesday eveuiog of last week, was 1840
come agaiu. Although it was advertised
; only as a Club Meeting, yet there were 8000
to 10,000 people present; if this is the way
i they get up Club meetings in Troy, we would
| like to know what a general Mass Meeting
would bet The meeting was beid in front
of the Court House—the large Court rtwwri
having been filled trf overflowing before the
-people began to come.
Mr. Buchanan seems to be losing ground
everywhere at the South. The New Orleans
Delta, and a number of other Democratic
papers refuse to support him, and favor
; Fillmore's election.
j The Pensacola (Florida) Gazette has just
raised at its masthead the name of Millard
| Fillmore, and says it intends to do zealous
battle in the good cause. It has hitherto
! been neutral. And thus progresses tbis
i great popular revolution against corrupt dy.
i nasties and selfish demagogues, and in be
: half of the Constitution and the Union!—
- Heaven speed the g'orious work.
The Tribune's Washington correspondent
says: —'Bets are running high in Wash

j The news which comes in from the South
i shows that the ranks of BuobaDan are be-

The Fillmore men intend holding a mass

It seem to be established, that there wer e
many niggers in the Buchanan procession,
at Indianapolis.
The natural inference, is that most of the
Indiana niggers are Buck. niggers-
The New York Evening Pust in the
course of a long and very knowing article
on Mr. Fillmore, says: 'lf we arc not mis

political character and administration of
James Madison, then a candidate for re-elec
