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

for the new Liquor Law, which require? a

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.

Meeting in Sehelhbutg.
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.

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

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

Presidency. As fur the last named of
these gentlemen, 1 have baoa unable vet
to learn upon what cousideral ions his

Th.ev want no offices, they acted for the

their support to Mr. Fillmore, they do
only what their old leader would do, with
all hi might,could he nowcuce more ad

I write warmly, for I feel deeply the
importance of the crisis through which wo
