~RUFUS~CHOATE AND WILLIAM
B. REED, ESQRS.
These distinguished lawyers, formerly
members of the Whig party, have recently
acquired a questionable sort of notoriety
by writing sundry letters announcing their
determination to support James Buchanan
for President, and urging upon their former
whig associates to go anJ do likewise. In
our bumble judgment this is a very small
business; and we rejoice to see that the la
bor of these gentlemen is properly appreci
ated. Mr. Cboate some two months since
made a very urgent appeal to the old line
whigs of the State of Maine, beseeching
tbcm to abandon all their principles, and
support Locofocoisia. Several distinguish
ed gentlemen of opposite views undertook
to reply to Mr. Choate, and expose the
absurdities of his positions, and of his ad
vice. By far the best answer however,
which lias ooiue under our observation, was
given by the voters of M line themselves
at the ballot box on tha Bth inst. They
not only repudiated the kind advioo of .Mr.
Cboate, but the party he- has recently join
ed, and gave the friends of Mr. Buchanan
such an awful drubbing as no party ever be
fore got in a State in which it always before
ha 1 a majority. The B rehancer candidate !
for Governor is defeated and his opponent
elected by so me where abmftwtnty thousand
majority. The whole six aiiti-Buchanan
memben of Congress are elected by majuri- '
Uwa ranging from one thousana to six tbou
sand and upwards; and if is doubtful wheth
er a single locofoeo Senator has been elect- j
ed in the whole State. The opposition to
sham democracy has also elected about four
fifths of the House of Rej rescntatives. This
We consider a most capital answer to
Choato's letter. As Mr. William B. Reed
of Philadelphia is a eolaborer of Mr. Choate*
; we hope to see his patriotic efforts in the
i same cause, simuiarly rewarded, and we
, doubt cot the voters of the old Keystone
j will do it handsomely on the second Tues
day of October uexf. Political tricksters
I like llicl, and Choute may "wheel about,
and turn abont, and jump Jim Crow as
| much as they please, but they need never
expect honest tneti to follow them in any
such dance. We point to the State of
Maine as a warniug to all such detua
-1 gogues.
HON. JOHN X. PURVIANCE.
The above named gentleman until very
recer.tly belonged to the Locofoco party; and
for cLatacter, influence, and ability, was in
ferior to no man in his party in Western
Pensylvania. He was Auditor General of
the State for many years, and was only suc
ceeded in that department by the present in
cumbent Mr. Ephraini Batiks. Mr. Purvi
ance is a lawyer of Butler county, and is a
brother of the Hon. Samuel A. Put viar.ee-,
the present able and accomplished member
ef Congress from that district, lie was a
icadiDg member in the last lxicofoeo blute
Convention held nt Harrisburg last spring
to nominate the preseut Loeo State ticket,
and if we mistake not was chairman of the
committee on organization, and we are sure
took an active part in convention lor the
nomination of James Buchanan. He eouid
not stand the Cincinnati slavery extension
platform however, nor the determination
manifested by his party to force slavcty on
Kansas at the point of the bayonet, and
against her will. Like an lmnest man there,
lore he has, like hosts of others, abandoned
the cause of sham-democracy, and not only
refuses to support James Platform Buchan
an, but has taken the Stump against him.—
When such men desert the Bueltaneers,
their fortunes must be desperate indeed, and
it is no wcadcr they are driven to a serious
consideration cf the question whether they
had not better try and get Buchanan and
Donaldson to withdraw, and run Fillmore
utid Uteekinridge.
TIIE MEETING EN PLEASANT
VILLK.
The meeting in Pleasantville on Saturday
last, wa9 a very largo and enthusiastic gath
ering of the freemen of At. Ciair and the
adjoining Townships. There wero Letweeu
--nmitrmn — ra-rn n.lluirj i'ii. '."H *rra —nxc
best feeling was manifested. The meeting
was addressed by br. Compiler and Fr.
j Jordan, L'-q , i;i ah!" and argumentative
speeches. St. Clait will do her duty in the
coming elections. The Locofocos got up
/ a meeting at the other cud of the Township,
|in St. CiatravUie, on the same day for the
purpose of interfering with our meeting,
j and keeping their men away. About 50
were at it! We don't think they will soon
try that game again in old St. Clair. j
G. NELSON SMITH.
We presume it- is not generally known
by our readers that this person, the candi
date of the Locofocos for re-election to the
Legislature, is a rank dyed in the wool pa
pist. lie was in the Legislature last win
ter from this District, and voted to charter
a Catholic Jesuitical .Monastery in Cambria
Count}, and which might have become a
law, hid it not been knocked in the head by
the Senate. This papist Jesuit wishes to
establish ID this country the same debasing
and corrupt institutions ihut exist w July.
Spain, Mexico and other papist countries!
We hope there are good true patriotism
enough in this District to defeat hiru, for
should he be re-elected, iie will endeavor
again next winter to procure the charter of
this detestible papist institution. Go to the
poles, Protestant voter, and defeat this
rank Catholic Jesuit from Cambria.
Sale of lhc Bedford Spriugs,
We are pleased to cnuounee that E. L.
Anderson, Esq., has affected a sale of bis
valuable property known as the jSeiford
Springs. Tbe purchasers, we understand,
reside mainly in Philadelphia, and the price
is the round sum of one hundred and sev
enty thousand doilaFs. It is the intention
of the new owners to organise a company
in a few weeks to manage tbe whole concern
and they design making substantial im
provements tc the premises at an early day.
Our readers will remember that sales were
reported on twrf former occasions, which
turned out to be failures. The third time
has proved tho charnt, and the sale is now
consnmmated beyond all contingency; and
to the mutual advantage of both seller and
purchasers.
THE LATE ELECTIONS.—Iowa HAS gone
for the Americans and Republicans by up
wards of 7000.
Vermont has gone for the Republicans by
-12000 majority. Maine baa gone for the
Republicans by 24000 majority.
Locofucoisiu is nowhere in the great
North. Pennsylvania will speak in timo
der tones in October.
ADMITTED TO PUACTICE.—On motion
of John P Reed, Esq., J. C. Dicken, Esq.,
at the mt Court, was admitted to practice
law.
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
OLD LINE YVIIIGS!
The Locofoco press is still calling lustily j
for the old line Whigs to come into the sup- i
jort of Buchanan. They must think their j
case is hopedess, and that without the sup- i
port of the old lino Whigs whom jhey for- j
uierly afcnsed so much they will deceive an
awful diubbiiig. Wilt the \\b/gs go over
to the support of Buchanan? / They will ;
not. They remember the time when they j
were called by these sme Lucojocos "Brit- j
: ish Whigs'' "Tories," "Federalists," "Hart
ford ConVentionists," "Abolitionists," and
the like. They remember, wjien they call
ed Henry Clay, the mention of whose name
causes Whig hearts to palpitate, "Tort','
.'Murderer," "Dueiist" ' Gambler," and
everything vile. They remember that Bu
chnnan, was the author of the vile cl: sir £ e °f
Bribery and Corruption against Henry Cl..y
which always caused his defeat before 'lie
j American people. They know that James
; Buchanan cheated the people of Pennsyl
vania into the belief in 1841, that Polk was
a better Tat iff man than Henry Clay. They
1 remember that James Buchanan has always
j been one of the most ultra Locofoco politi
; ciaus iii the State, going every length to de
| feat Whip principles and men.
! Besides all this, it is now generally
! known all over the country, that James
! Buchanan, wdiilst on a visit to the Bedford
I Springs, a few weeks ago, publicly stated
! jn Bedford that "Me IVMg party is dead,
! that Whigs hav> no canditat" oj their own,
that consequently they must vote for him,
and that he is under no obligations to old
line tt'higs for so doing!" 1 That he did
make this expression we can prove by a
great many very respectable persons, and
Mr. Buchanan, or his friends for him have
not dared to deny it!
Knowing all these tilings no good old line
Whig in the land will vote for J?uehan
: an.
Lots OF SUBSCRIBERS! —We last .week

I for their paper, and it was about the only
i way to get our money out of thorn. Thei,
places will soon bs filled by others of a

We hope our friends will not lose sight
of the importance of carrying the State and
County ticket in October. If we wish to

We call the attention of our readers to
the notice of Messrs. Win. 11. KING, and
JOUN 11. FILLER. They intend to re-open
the Bedford Academy ou the 13th of next
month. They arc gentlemen of superior
attainments, and as classical Scholars have
no superiors in the country. We expect to
see the Academy well patronized.
A very respectable meeting was held in
the Conn House, on Tuesday night last.
It was addressed by Col. A K. M'Ciure, of
Chamber 'lurg. lie advocated u fusion of

State and Prisidential contests.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENT—COL. Fre
mont Offered the Nomination of the Presi
dency by the Democratic Party—The Of
fer Rejected. The Washington Union, in
ar. elaborate review of Blair's recent lettei
to Cave Johnson, says Fiemont is the
special nominee of Blair, selected by kim
bouse he i&ts unknown and incompetent.
The subjoined statement of Hon. Geo. C.
Bates, in a late public speech at Kalamazoo,
in Mich., will show that, if the Union is
correct, Blair got only a second-hand
nominee after all. Mr. Bates was formerly
Attorney General of Michigan, and is now
a resident of California. He is known to
be a gentleman of high and unimpeachable
character. We invite particular attention
to his statement. It reveals new depths of
perfidy in the Southern Democratic lead
ers:
When he (Mr. Bates) was expected to
sail for California in August, 1855, he was
persuaded by Mr. Palmer, of the firm of
Palmer, Cook & Co , bankers of San
Francisco, to remaiu until Ojtober, when
he and Col. Fremont would accompany
hiin thitber. Mr. Bates postponed his
departure as desired. But *ben the time
for departure arrived, Col- Fremont, al
though his trunks were packed, did not go
bnt.ordered bis baggage to Metropolitan
Hotel instead. This was in consequence of
the following facts: Gov. Floyd, of Vn.,
had just arrived in New York oity for the
purpose of having an interview with Col.
Fremout, ami the result of which was an
(ffer made to CoJ. .Fremont by Floyd, in
behalf of the Democratic party, he having
advised witb its leading men North and
South of tie nomination for the Presiden-.-y
He said thai party wanted a new unn—a
man of integrity and who won distinction
outside of politics.
Col. Fremont, after listening patiently,
ar.d even feutmirting to two private inter -
views, and knowing Uiti pisiform he was |
expected to stand upon, replied that, while j
sensible of the high distinction of the ;
proposition made bitn, and flittered by the j
promise extended, yet with his opinion of j
the repeal of ,tbc Missouri Compromise, be j
eould not entertain tltj proposition. He
considered the repeaj an infamous breach ;
of plighted faith, and sioulduever desist
denouncing the act and its authors !
, Col. Fremont planted himself itnpregna- j
bly on this position. Mr. Palmer being j
cognizant of these facts, communicated
them forthwith to Hon. N. P Banks and ;
Hon. Henry Wilson, of Mass., and they
came and saw Col. Fremont, and to state in
brief the result of that interview, be
consented to lead the hosts of Freedom in ,
this campaign, if the people should call Liiu
to that position. A!! l'*' s happened in
September, 1855, if we correctly recall Mr.
Mates' statement. lie gives time, names,
and places and vouches for the entire
accuracy of the above statement, aud,
although it did not come to him with the
injunction of secrecy, he stated he would
not have revealed it had the frets not.
already been partly disclostd in last Satur
day's N. Y. Herald. Any statement made
by Mr. Bites commands implicit reliance
in this community, where he was kuoiru for
years and universally respected-
This statement wears the air of perfect
t'uth. Unlike a statement of impeifeet,
authenticity, there is nothing vague or
indefinite about it. It is a responsible
| statement, sharply defined, and rests on
j tangible authority. It is no doubt literally
i true. It it is not, its author, a man of
; position, evidently believes it to be, for lie
; fearlessly points to the uieajns of its
j .refutation, if it ean be refuted. We
I challenge the parties implicated to refti'e it
Jif they can. Wo do not believe it can be
I refuted. It is true.— Lou. Jo'JrunL
CONGRESS-
Joseph Pubwoj has received the nomina

i;i this district. We consider the selection

cal question affecting the interests of his
ooostitat'-nts, or na!ioaal question affecting
the welfare of the nation, would be attend

which .he is acted. Mr. I'ttuu oy is an open

Francis P. Blair TS. James Fu
chauan aud Company!
The bosom friend and confidential cor
respondent of Andrew Jackson—the lega
tee of bis writings, and the chosen defend
er of bis reputation, has been dtawn put Ly
the assaults made upon liitn by the profli
gate squanderer of th old hero's estate,
,iio w the apologist of liitn who insulted hi*
protector and acting father, by a proposi
tion of 'deep corruption,' and being thus
drawn out, 3 well iu bis own defence us in
vindication of (!i* veracity of the departed
hero of the Hermitage, ho has thoroughly
established and effectually exposed, both
the political corruption of James Buchanan
and the reckleeness of biui who bears the
name, but wears not a single virtue ot his
adopted sire.
We know it not, if we entertain a single
political opinion with Francis P- Biair— w
certainly have no sympathy with Presiden
tial Baoveiueut with which he is identified,
and we are quite sure that uo word or deed
I of General Andrew Jackson, can be refer
! red to which is iu harmony with Mr. Blair's
present political associations. Neverihe
j less we can as fatrlv weigh and as justly es
; tiuiute the force of testimony and logic em
anating from Mr. Blair, as when it ema
nate* fr>un our political friends and associ
ates., and we do not hesitate now to say,xs
our deliberate judgement of his aadress
: to ibo public.,' bearing date of the 15tb
instuut, that it fixes irrevocably., the charge
! of political corruption upon James Buchan
an, and the brand of folly and reek'.osueas
upou the adopted son of a forgiving father.
The address of Mr. XSlair would co.ver
twOjpages if .our weekly issue, aud we are
therefore precluded from giving it an in
sertion in our columns. \\ e must content
our.-clf with stating the case, and furnish
ing Mr. Blair's testimony on some of the
pruumieut points.
The address has teferenc? to the charge
made by Mr. BiTchanan against Mr. Clay,
in 1825, of bargain and corruption with
Mr. A l.im3. .Former disclosures had fixed
the paternity of this charge upon Buchan
an, and recent derelnpateata have showi.
the deep corruption in which it originated.
A few weeks siuce a letter fiorn General
Jackson to Major Lewis was published,
containing the following remarks by the
Goner tl, to wit:
Statement oj Gen. Jackson.
Hermitaoc, Feb. 28, 1815.
"Your observations with regard to Mr.
Buchanan are correct. He showed a t can!
of moral courage in the affair of the in
trigueef Adams and Clay—did not do nie
justice in the expose he then made, and I
am sure about that time did believe there
was a perfect understanding between Ad
ams and Cluy about the Presidency and
the Seoretary of State. This lam sure of.
But whether he viewed that there was any
corruption in the cuac or not, I know not,
but one tiling I do know, that he wished me
to combat them with their own weapons
that was to let my friends say if I was elec
ted, Iwo /Id make. Mr. Clay Secretary oj
State. This to me appeared, gross corrup
tion, and I repelled it with that honest in
dignatiou as (which) I thought it de
sei ved.
"ANDREW JACKSON."
Upon the appearance of this letter to Ma
| jor Lewis, which was written by General
Jackson shortly before his death, (to wit, in
1815,) his adopted son, Andrew Jackson,
junior, was induced by some of Mr. Buchan
an's wire woibers (Cave Johnson and C 0.,)
to enter his "solemn protest against the un
scrupulous use of the private and confiden
tial coriespoudence of his (adopted) father,
&c., and he proceeds to say that this letter
"did not contain any deliberate couviclion
of bis mind," but that—
j "Whilst suffering under a painful, wither
ing disease, and earnestly pressed by every
! artful suggestion, he would have been more
than hntnan if he had not permitted exprea
j sions of momentary irritation to creep into
private letters: and the fault of the expres
sion was not in him who wrote, but rather
in those whom he unwisely trusted."
The- charge of making an "unscrupulous
use of privnto correspondence" was aimed
as well at Mr. Blair as at Major Lewis. Mr.
Cave Johnson and others, at the same peri
od, pretended to doubt the authenticity of
the above letter to Major Lewis, but tj, e
original letter in the handwriting ofGeoer-
Jaoksou has been for weeks exhibited at the
Banner office in Nashville, and bis put to
flight the pretended doubts of Mr. Buchan
an's satellites.
To refute the ol.argo of las making an
irapropei use of General Jackson's cor res.
pondence,— to show that Mr. Blair was him
self the chosen repository of General Jack-
Eon's correspondence, and tho chosen de
fender of his fame—to prove the genoral
recklessness of Mr. Jackson, junior, to
establish the uniformity of General Jack
son opinions of Buchanan as to the "deep j
corruption" of tho proposal whiuh Buchan
an had himself tuadh to b|m iu the winter of
18_l fr, present conclusive jtfeofs on
the poiut that Buchanan v iS the opgtnafer '
of that attempt at "burgaiu and intrigue
which be ondeavore I to £x ttpou Mr. Cay,
these arc tlie manifest purposes of Mr-
Blair's addresss 'to tho public,' and signal
ly has lie succor le i in those purpose*.
The following kttrr'uutory observations
by Mr. Biuir, upon the qualities of Mr.
Jackson, junior, are piquant and graph
is. -■ 2 ■ : '
"Mr. Buchanan, through rotne of his
paitisans, uses the shadow of a great name
to dim the bright original. Andrew Jack
son, tic child of a Mr. Donelaon, adopted
' because a kin to Mrs. Jackson, is now in
t dueed to stun bis name to letters given to
I the press, detracting from the reputation of
Gen. Jackson To make tho ritteuipt effect
ual, the first effort is to impair the standing
of the friends to whom he bequeathed the
du.y of defending his -baraeter, whenever
\ unjustly assail il.
"Mr. Jackson w'lo thus lends hi 3 name
to this impious work, cannot be held entire
ly accountable, lie is a weak-winded,
credulous, dreamy seheiuov, forever brood
ing in silence over visionary projects, with
which be cheats himself and does mischief
to others; aud when awakened to a souse of
what ha has done is sorrv for it. lie is in
offensive. quiet, and well disposed to do
what he is persuaded to do by those around
him; is rery willing to oblige, bu, from ut
ter want of judgement, is scarcely conscious
oi" what is right for or goo I for himself.—
General JiekiJn lia-i *0 excessive tender
ness for hint. While he loved OtHers at
tached to htm for the ability and energy they
exerted iu any eause iu which ho was engag
ed, he loved Andrew more than all, because
left to his tenderness by his wife, and be
cause he was helpless aud dependent.
"While Bi idle and his Briar*us bank
waged war upon him—while Calhoun and
hU nnu'h&e.ation conspiracy endangered'ihe
Union—while tho giants, Clay, Webster?
and Adams, made every step of his admin
istration a struggle—Andrew, although in
tlie prime of life, an 1 living in the White
House, was unconscious of tue strife, and
to those around hiiu seemed wholly ignor
ant that there wag iti all this anything of
importance. Although I was always ou fa
miliar aud kindly terms with him, an I the
more so, as the business ?f the White House
made it a solitude to him, I do not te:ue;u
that I ever knew liiut tir the must exciting
times to open his tumuli about politics; and
uow, for the Srst time daring the twenfy
s x years I have knowc-J him, be, of a sud
den is brought out in Mr, Buchanan's pregs
as a political gladiaUr, to strike un
consciously the rcputatiouof the father
who give L'ioi his fortune, and to destroy
uUc ehuxam.tr nf an?- wham lie thought mast
likely to defend It. Now, I hold Mr Jack
son, in every tense, incapable of conceiving
much less executing this attempt; and I sfmll
treat it as the w>rk o? Mr. 15 tehraan aud,
his cnuuissaries. They are the inteiested
parties. They hive the motives for the un
dertaking, and the intrigue developed in
the letters hiving Mr. Jackson's signature,
is of a piece with all Mr. Buchanan's
management."
Having thus disposed of this yomg gen
tehnan, Mr. Blair establishes his own claim
to take charge of the pipers an l reputa

"F. P. BLAIR, Esq."
Several statements of Mr. Carter Bever
j ly, Gen. Jackson, Mr. Buchanan, Ea
j ton, Rnd Mr, Wchsfpr, then follow in prop
j er order, all which Mr. Blair compares and
J contrasts, deducing therefrom the logical
| and irrefutable conclusion that the idea
; ofhirL'ain and intrigue" in tho winter of
1824 'sl originated with James Bnchanan
j himelf,—that he was the B „] e au ,hor of
; the plot to purchase Mr. Premiership—that
he sought to gain Gen. Jackson's consent
to it, and was repulsed hy him—that when
the proportion assumed the shape of a
chirgo he artfully turned the point of it
upon Mr. Clay,—that he cunningly dofged
ignominy and disgrace by his shrewd and
artful sctni-exculpation of Mr. Clay, and
by his non mi rieordo responses—and,final
ly, that he has always refused,still refuses
and will not, and dare not, permit Gov-
Letcher, of Kentucky to reveal what he
knows of that infamous transaction.
Governor Letcher applied to Mr. Buch
anan in 1844 to be released fiom hi pledge
of secrecy, and to he permitted to vindi
cate the honor of Henry Clay in the matter
of that charge of "bargain and intrigue,"
Mr. Buohanan refused to release him,
; saying thus

The Transcript says : Mr. i'eilly asserted,
that the People's party were striding to put
the negro ruee upou a social equality with
the white. Ha supposed that shortly in
this district, there might be a negro nomi

nounced that he could not ••on.-ent to run
against such a candidate. Ji; easy, Mr.
Reilly. It will be a long while after the
