THE MEETING IN JUNIATA "Tba meetitrg at Kellerman's Mill ia Ju niata township, on Monday last, was ad dressed by Francis Jordan, Esq. There were a great many people there, and the utmost enthusiasm existed. The upper end of the county will do her duty, and n- mis take Proceedings of (he lhierieaß County Convention. The Delegates to the American County Convention assembled at the Court House in Bedford on Wednesday the 24th inst., pursuant to a call of the County Commit tee Tle meeting was organized by ap pointing GtX'HOE R. IiOI.BI.NGUK of \\ OOd berrtj President, and GEORGE W- HOUSE HOLDER of Bast Providence, Secretary.— F. Jordan, Chairman of the County Com mittee, stated the object for which the Con vention Lad assembled, nad submitted for the action of the Convention the following declination of WHS. Griffith;' UNION TOWNSHIP, Sept. 19, 18n6. To F. JORDAN, Esq., Chairman of the American Covnly Committee : Having made up my mind to decline the domination for Associate Judge recent ly so kindly tendered me by the American party of Bedford County, I take this op portunity of giving ootice of the fact. In taking this step I assure the party of my deteimination to yield a cordial support to whomsoever may be placed on the ticket in my stead. Thanking my numerous friends for thc-ir cordial support, and regretting that any should have been misled by either false statements of my adversaries or wrong im pressions and conclusions drawn from any existing facts, I subscribe myself, Yoms trnlv, WM. GBIFEITII. On being read it was, after consultation, on motion, accepted, and the Convention proceeded to put in nomination other can didates. The names of Adam Barnhart of Bedford Township, Daniel B. Wisegarver of St.. Clair, and Samuel ,1. Casfner of Woodberry, were sufcnitted. On the first ballot, Mr. Barnhart had a majority over the others, lis nomination was then made unnhnoo?. On motion, the following resolution was ' then unanimously passed: llesolval , That we hereby tender the j tbauks of the American party of Bedford County to William Griffith for his manly course in sacrificing bis individual claims | to promotion for what he believed to be the good of the party; that we have increased confidence in his intelligence and integrity; and that his conduct deserves to be grate fully remembered in the future, j On motion adjourned. G. B. IIOLSINGEB, Chairman. G. W. HOUSETIOTDEG, Secty. William Griffith. We exceedingly regret that this gentle man felt it to be his duty to the Amerieau 1 party te decline the nomination for Asso \ elate Judge-, avid in saying this wt- are well assured we but echo the sentiment of niue • tenths of the party iu this County. In this most unpleasant condition of things it must Irf> n consolation to him and his friends to ; know that lie stanin nigucr m toe., . ■ tiou than ever befotP. His patriotic and nasclfish devotion to the good cause, and ' the personal sacra Sec he has made to en sure the undoubted triumph of every can didate on our County ticket, lias proved him a man of principle and integrity, and endeared him to bis friends more than ever; and the County Convention iu its Resolu tion of thanks to him has spoken well and truly. A party made up of such ntcn as Griffith ar.l Barnhart have shown them selves iu these mat-tors, cannot but be suc cessful. Ilis political eoctnies v. I*l no ; doubt sneer at him as they have doae here i toforc, as they revelled in imagined securi ; ty of his defeat, brought abont as they i fondly supposed by their slanders indnstri ously circulated Rgatust him, but by bis devotion to the good cause, and his mag nanimity they will r.ow find themselves de feated. They rejoiced and gloated ovet the injury they imagined they had done to his private character, and made merry over the piospect of his political overthrow.— They halloed -before they were out of the woods, they "counted their ahiekens before they were hatched;" and they mty now prepare themselves for a richly deserved and most overwhelming defeat. Col. Adani Dariih:-tr(. By the proceedings of the American ! Counfy Convention, as published in ti.is ' column, it will LC seen that WM. GRIF FITH, onr late nominee for Associate Judge, has decline?, and Mit. HAIINH.-VRT been i put on the ticket in his place. We are much gratified that the choice of a new i candidate has fallen upon so unexceptiona | h'e a man, and congratulate the Conven- I lion mi the wisdom of its choice, dome j few years sineo Mr. lluruhart was the can • diato of the American p.uty for the same , office, and voluntarily permitted himself to be sacrificed and defeated to secure the success of one John G. Hnrtley, whose subsequent history is too well known to need farther comment. This f ill Mr. Barn hart';; friends again presented him, but when he found titCvpopuiar current setting strongly in favor of Mr. Griffith he again ' volunteered to stand for him, thus all the tim: manifesting a willingness to renounce all personal claims and conside rations for the good of the cause. Such uen deserve well of the party, and he will no doubt receive such a united and cordial support asjvill triumphantly elect hiniovcr any man in the opposition ranks, and very his present competitor. Ho is an honest and intelligent farmer of Bedford Township, who stands high in the estima tion of all who know him; and win a few years siocc when a candidate for the Legis lature ran far ahead of his ticket. Hi* reputation as a strictly moral and upright man is untarnished, and even partisan op position has never dared to breathe aught against him. We know our friends will all yield him a most cordial and undivided support. BEDFORD INQUIRER AND rUBONICLE. FUSION. Our Locnfcco friends have a sort of only horror of fusion, that is to say, ol any ft siou among the opponents of sham demo- • cracv. Iho very idea of any union of for- ; ccs between Americans and Republicans is denounced as a corrupt bargain and sale, even when nothing of the kind is seriously < contemplated - , whilst at the same time these pious democrats are dciug their utmost to , fuse with every party and every faction where a yote can be made for Bu- i ebacan or any other of their candidates. — ! For tljcin to throw all principle to tho dogs, • and to unite with any and every party, even though directly opposed to them in princ:~ pic, is all right, ail democratic, a.l moral, and all patriotic, but for the American 01 Republican party to intimate any such idea is a monstrous fraud, and downright moral , and political iniquity. Tho boot is then on the other leg, and it is the ox that is gored. I Some recent facts may better illustrate this matter. Until very recently the whig* were I denounced as cither destitute of principles altogether, or having those only which were i heretical, unpatriotic, and diametrically op ' posed to democracy. Now these same oieu who so denounced the whig - *, are coaxing and entreating them to fuse with them aud vote for their candidates. At tho late elec tion in Maine no less than FOUR out of t.ic six locofoco candidates for congress were old line whigs. Then the party once so powerful there, so humiliated itselt in prospect of defeat, as to nominate its oiJ bitter enemies, vainly hoping thereby to se T ; cure the votes of the old hno whigs. Lids ' despicable game did not work. Overwind m j ing defeat of every candidate was the just punish stent of this abortive attempt to m.x oil and water in the corrupt cauldron ut lo ! cofocoism. The same game is heingpiajed | iu this State, and wO believe everywhere | else. At a convention held some ten days j ago in old Lancaster county this sham derno ! craey nominated a county ticket on which they placed no less than six old Hue whigs, including their candidate for congress. Quite recently they ho isted they could and would carry old Lancaster for Buchanan.— Since then the o'.d line whigs there assem bled in county mass convention, and deli berately repudiated Lneofocoism in all its principles and practices as they had always done before. Not to he kicked oft thus, ; they fawn, unl coax,and implore the par- I ty which thus denounced them, to fuse with I thein, and in this way to give them some ; - *>*'- - 'mote of Jauies Buchanan. Finding six whigs who arc willing to accept their empty nominations, ! they use tliem as a cats-paw, and belittle themselves by thus nominating men who , have repudiated their principles and declnr !ed for others. The whigs cf Lancaster will no doubt rote as did the whigs of Maine. llow have the mighty fallen' Not euly this, but at the present time, as we learu !by recent advices from Philadelphia, these same consistent, pious,aßti-fusion democrats are seriously deliberating whet her they had . better not get James Buchanan to withdraw provided, they can also get Mr. A. J. Don elson to withdraw, and thus bring about a grand fusion upon Fill more and Brechin* ridge, and thus enable them to save their Vice President at all Imurds! Is not this . a most humiliating ideal We say go it gentlemen with your fusion, if you can.— Withdraw Buchanan if you please, to save ; hint front the impending defeat, but you ' may rest assured that neither Mr. Don el son ! nor his friends will withdraw him, or enter | into any such arrangements. We know ! your chances are 33 desperate in Pennsylva nia as in M"ine, but no such arrangement as this can be made to save you. Fusion could not save you there, nor cin it do it here. We doubt not your willingness to fuse even with the revellers in Pandento miuin, if you had any hope of thereby mak ing a few voles, but not all do. The only way we can sec by which you can pre. vent defeat, is to manfully look the impend ing danger in the face, and withdraw both Buchanan and Breckinridge. -If yoa do this you will be permitted to retire as grace fully as you can, but if cot, you muet take the consequences. G. NELSON SMITH. We hope the freeman of B :dford County ; will bear in mind, that tins person, in tho Legislature, last winter, voted to charter a Catholic Jesuit lusiitition in Cambria County. Let them also bear :n miad that he vote] for the new Liquor Law, which require? a ! man who keeps a public bouse to give an j excessive bail, to pay a heavy lieonse of §id,?so. r slGo aril upwards, an] other restriction*. Let tavern hoopers and oth ers i*iir these tiling? in mini when thoy i come to vote this fall. i BE ASSESSED": We advise our friends in the different Boroughs and townships to see that every American voter is assessed at least fen dajs before the eloe tion. This is an important matter, and after to-morrow week it will be too late. The question is now seriously discussed i in the South and elsewhere, by the Lorn fo cus whether it would be proper or not to i withdraw Mr. Bjcliamu from the Soil It is now generally conceded that he will not receive a single Northern State. The way of the t rati .'grosser is hard. The Dcmocralic firtas UCCS.

The meeting in Schellsburg on Friday I last, was considered on all hands one of tbe largest that was ever held in the County outside of this Borough. In the morning about nine o'clock, a large delegation from .• D I>v ,j a very large number from Culcrain, about one mile east oi town.— They then marched into Bedford amid the soul stirring sounds of the fife uad drum. — ; The -"Young Mens' Glee C!u'->" also sanjr soma of their best songs, and accotup*nie<i the delegations to Schcilsburg. They hult ed at the Public House of Mrs. Cook, for a | short time. Tho precession then formed, and marched out of town. We never saw a larger number of wagons, buggies, &c., j leave this place ou any occasion. It gath -1 ereu strength all the way to Sebellsburg, and about one mile east of that town, nor i delegation was taet by quite a large portion 'of the delegation from St. Clair. Tbe pro i cession then inarched into Scheilsburg, aod J it was admitted to be the largest that ever | entered that place- A Locofoeo there told |us that there were between three and four j hundred in it. A large delegation of be tween one and two hundred had already ar ; rived from St. ('hair, and shortly after our delegation arrived, another came in from Ju ! uiata and Harrison. Persons case into town on foot, on horseback, iu buggies car riages, &e., until the town was literally crowded. It was estimated that there were from 800 to 1000 persons there, and it was acknowledged on all hands to bo the largest meeting over held in Schellsburg. After the organisation of the meeting, the vast concourse was addressed in an able speech by Dr. -Compiler, who was followed by Gen. Koon'.z, o! Somerset, in a speech of an hour and a half in length, abounding in fact and argument. Fr. Jordan, Esq., next addressed the meeting in his usual happy manner. The meeting then adjourned in thebertof spirits, all well pleased with the proceedings and the prospects of the American party in Bedford County. ' The Bedford and Culeraiu delegations on tlieir return to this place, halted at the house ot Mrs. Oook, whore they partook of a sump tuous supper prepared fortbem. BETTING! We understand that there aro a number of unnaturalized foreigners and uduors in ; this Borough, and there may bo olanwhere, who run about offering to !et fifty cents, a dollar, an Jso on, that tho Lccofoco party : will bo successful at the ootuing election.— We warn our friends not to bet with these persons, as the probability is that they arc furnished tho money by the Loeofoco lead ers for the purpose, of catohing American voters. According to the laws cf Pean- 1 sylvania, any man who bets on tho election loses bis vote. Do not bet with them, it is a trick of the enemy! They are np to all manner of (ricks to defraud our fricuds out of their votes, and this is ouc of ♦heat. Locofocos who iiave votes do not offer to bet, and they can't lose anything bat a few dollars in getting unnaturalized foreigners and minors to bet. Again we say, do not bet with them, if you wish to secure your votes. Utisoii lieiliv, Fsf* It appears that an article on this gentle n un has giv. :t mortal offense, and hat* deep ly wounded the sensibilities of a few ex tremely fastidious individuals in our midst.

In speaking of Mr. Beiily, quoted the precise language used by and had no idea tltat any other meaning that! the one we intended to convey would be given to it.

For several weeks previous, great prepu tjon* had been made for this meeting.— Bills were circulated atd posted through the country, and at every si HI ion along the Railroad, from Huntingdon to Broadtop City, and over the hills to Hopewell and down to Sax ton and StniwretowT), ovary ex ertion was made to have a terrifying Bir der RuffiaO Rally at this place. So that there would bo no mistake about the speak er's coming, too little man with ilis white hat, Mr. Schell, of Bedford, arrived at this place on Friday evening, and in coopera tion with several ether congenial spirits, commenced making extensive preparations for the grand rally on the morrow. Twen ty dollars was soon raised to buy wbiakev, which arrived on Saturday morning, bright and early, m goo i order and well condition from Stonerstcwii. Every other prepara tion heiug now made, the '.'Bowery boys" took all a good quantity of the "01 bo joyful," and thru made ready to receive th delegations. At 11 o'clock, A. M. the O'Shanes, tho Q'Hansgana, O'Rafferties, and M'Gillands commenced coming in, and at 12 o'clock tho crowd—the immense crowd—had arri ved. The delegation from Huntingdon con. sisted of 1 CATHOLIC PRIEST, 1 Gen era! -Wilson, 2 Drummers and 1 Fifer, 1 Itonegadc, 10 Irish anu 10 Flasks, The delegation from Bedford and all in. teriuouiate points consisted of 1 .Man wfto teas not elected Commissioner in Bedford County lust fall, 1 Canadian, 12 Irish and 12 dogs. From ail other points, 15 Irish, 15 dogs, and 10 spectators. Total, 55 men, and .17 Jogs and flasks. Of what a conglomerated crowd was this! What an effervescence of Loe.sfocoi.-uc nnd whiskey 1 unequalled by FalstofFs picked i men. Bat to the speeches ccd speakers, Messrs. ' Scltell and Wilson. Mr. Bcbcll opened in 1 quite a bombastic way. He told his Irish ; friends to do their duty this fall, vote for I Buchanan, and Mi's country would soou be j in their keeping; that if they did not do j so, and Buck was not elected, the niggers of the South would be let /oose upon Mm, and every °H° °f theiu would be killed ! j He concluded by telling ti.cn> if they did j not carry the day this erpr a^"'r j they might cry whiskey! whisk C"' but \ would not get a d— d drop ! lur<? the poor fellow got oraewhat light headcJ, *nd left the stand. Next came the Giceral; he looked ashamed of the company he was in, and af | tera fc-tv mild remarks left the stand pcr ( fectly disgusted with the crowd, as he af j forwards remarked.' So ended the grand Locofoco "Fizzle" at Conlmont 1 One word in conclusion and I am done, j Otic more such meeting, one more such ; demonstration in these parts as the one to j day, and there will not he a vestige of the ; Locofoco party left outside ot t!ie Catholic ■ church.

To My Country.tan: Urged by friends from different quarter?, who believe tK it an address put forth by me, :u< the cl lest son of th - founder of the Whig party in the United States, would be pro i Juctiveof good, and might fen 1 to induce many to give that crlra reflection to the presc-.at political condition of our beloved country which it so imperatively demands, not withstanding the objection* which pres ent themselves to ni", and which arc many and grave, I have determined, from a sense of duty, to Cirupjy with their w'shes, toap poal to the pat riot is .tJ of nty fellow-coun trymen, anl, if my warding voice may he heard in this tuouientvns crisis, to rge upon them the selection of su 'b candid Uea fot the I'restdoucy and Vice l'resjdoncy of the Unite i States as enn alohc give perma nence to our institutions, and bring to our distracted coantry. Content ta reotaiu in the situation in whichi*rovulc!icj his placed mo, I hive never aspired to any political office.

It is but t'jo mad r.cs of par ly spirit and sectionalism which could attempt <tha deration of such a man to the high office to which he aspires. My father thought Buchanan weak and corrupt; wanting, as General Jackson h-. 13 it, in moral finoncw. I have seen no reason to -vary my opinion from big.
