Wo have no controversy with the editor
of tbe Hollidaysburg Standard. Wherev
he is known, he is known to be an un
blushing, unscrupulous liar. The stale eld
J )k; which he lttempts to perpetrate jn this
week's paper at our expense, is a simple lie,
takou from the whole cloth! The bungling
lassie al allusion attributed ta a writer in
i ur paper never appeared iii it, and the ras
cal knows it.
Kemersbttr ihut the State election takes
place next Tuesday a seek. Americans of
Bedford County ate you ready! Let no
voter be away from tbe polls.
That Flag!
There was but one thing connected with
j that meeting calculated to disturb the uiind
I of Democrats: —the prostitution of our Mu
' Cass and Butler flag to the vile purposes of
Know-Nothingism. This was mean and
contemptible, and so considered by all men
of candor,— Gazette.
We find the above in the Gazette of la.-.t
week, in relation to a flag raised on the
I house of Mrs. Cook on the day the Bedford
: nud Colerain delegations left this place to
: attend the American meeting at Schells-
Dflrg. If the facts were as represented by
I the Dime- ocrats, it might !**' COUsid?red
"mean and contemptible." But how are
| the facts? In 1848 a number of Locofo
cos went to a store in Bedford and purchas
ed the materials for a flag, but they also
took good care not to pay for them. On re
ference'to the day book for that year, are
: the following charges and credits:
1848. Democratic Party, Dr.
i Oct.—To 28 yds um.-lin for flag, §3 .50
Do. to 15 yds red flannel, 7 50
Do. to 2 yds blue merino, 2 50
i * ______
I §l3 50
Credit.
By subscription, §6 21
Balance duo, §7 29
Interest to uate, 3 50
Prcscut indebtedness, §lO 79
Now, isn't it "mean r.cd contemptible"
that a preteudod great party should make
| so much fuss over a flag which was never their
j own? Who else but the libeller and the
ILsif-ocrats would have so exposed thcui
■ selves to the contempt of the community?
ihe materials were sold to theui in good
faith, and in the expectation that they
would be paid for, but they falsified their
word, and only paid §0 21 of tbe amount.
' 1\ bo has a better right to the flag than the
: person who in good faith sold them the ma
terials, and which they have ever since rc
; fused to pay? The youug gentleman in
whose possession the flag h, informed theni
on the morning it was put up, that they
could have it if they would pay the ba
lance against it. They have not done sn.
j The libeller or any of his clan can still
i have it whenever they band over the
§lO 79 now due upon it, and no questions
asked' It - they do not do?o, their conduct
will still be cousideied "mean and con
temptible by all men of candor!"
DECLINATIONS.
Oar Looofoco frieuus profess to think the
declination of Mr. Griffith, and the nomina
tion of another ntau in bis place, a very
strange affair; and bust that they have al
ready defeated one of our candidates. We
will rcmiud all coucerned that two of the
candidates of the sham democracy have al
ready decliuod iu like manner: and hence
of their own showing we have already de
eated two of their candidates. A certain
WM. M. HALL, Esq., was nominated for
county Surveyor by what purported to be a
democratic convention, and after deliberat
ing over the matter for several weeks, he
very prudently declined to run, and b e
beaten by one Daniel Sams Esq., of the
American ticket. I:i this emergency, the
democracy did not call their convention to
gether again to nominate a new man, but
their county committee nominated one Mr.
KettermaD
The Gazette is cret finding fault with the
i American conventions for irregularity,
Sow wo would iiko to kuow who gave the
Locafoco county committee the authority to
Dominate a county ticket, or any part of a
county ticket. According to the Gazette's
own showing they had no authority at all,
and the party is under no obligations to sup
port Mr. Ivetterman
Then on the Locofoco'State ticket, as
nominated by the contention, was a certain
TIMOTHY IVES, for Surveyor General.
Soon after the convention adjourned it was
discovered that the said Timothy was a great
rascal; and that by sonic means or other lie
had got out ot the State Treasury some
Two TUOCSAXD DOLLARB more than the
law allowed him. He was therefore indu
ced to decline, and one Jonathan Howe
put on in his place. Ir. our regret for the
declination of Mr. Griffith we and all his
friends have the consolation to know it was
not occasioned by any charge or suspicion
°f dishonesty. Oar readers can best judge
of the merits of the said Timothy's case
from the following article taken from the
Greensburg (Westmorland Co.) Argus.—
The editor is said to be a good fellow, bu\
a most unmitigated locofoco. Head what
he says on the subject, as follows:
TIMOTHY IVES.
'•lt will be seen that we bve removed
tbe name of Timothy Ives from oar columns
as a ca' .idatc for Surveyor General. In
juitificati JU of this course, we will, at this
time, simply remark, that charges of a
very grave nature have been made against
Mr. Ives, in his official capacity as Super
intendent of motive power ou the State
werks. It appears, that recently, Mr.
Banks, Auditor General discovered that
about two thousand dollars had been drawn
from the treasury, some two years siuce bv
Mr. Ives, on false or forged estimates. On
discovering the fraud, Mr. Ives was sent
for, aud frankly admitted that the vouchor
in question was fraudulent, but denied all
knowledge of the lase character ol the
paper, nod alleged that it was done by his
clerk, Tom, MtGuire. McGuire was ex
amined, and admitted the spurious charac
ter oi the paper, and in explanation, said
that the paper bad been drawn up as a form
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
cr copy, to follow iu making out proper
estimates, and that k had been sent to the
Auditor General, by mistake! in placo of
the genuine paper, and thus the two
thousand dollars was wrongfully drawn from
the treasury. .Mr. Ives offered to withdraw
the paper, atid refund the money, but Mr.
Banks refused to let the paper out of his
office. Mr. Ives received the money, and
asseverates his entire innocence in the
matter, lie may be—we trnst he is. The
explanation of Mr. McGuire may be true,
but candor compels us to say, that if we
have been eoirectly informed as to the facts,
no explanation can rcuiQve the brand, either
of imbecility, Capable negligence, or rank
dishonesty. We understand thai the Stale
committee have had several meetings to
investigate the charge. Fidelity to oi'r
conscience and the Democratic party, com
pels us promptly to remove his aauie front
our columns until the charge can be ex
plained, so as to remove,the brand of sus
picion fom bis brow. We hope our readers
will approve our course."
The Organ-grinder of the Border Ruf
fians in this county, expresses a great deal
of Loly indignation because an elder of the
Presbyterian Church saw fit to attend the
American Meeting at Sehollsburg, last
week. Having howled himself hoarse over
preachers of the Gospel interfering in
politics—unless they happen to belou g to
his side —he now seeks to prevent lay
me tubers of the churches, from meddling in
political affaiis. It is the same daatar d
spirit which is now seeking to suppress free
speech in Kausa?, and wherever else tbe
Border ltufiiau influence prevails. If men
like this editor had tbe j .wcr no man would
dare to open his head against these out
rages upon popular rights. An elder of the
Presbyterian Church cannot take a few of
his friends to an American ineetiug without
incurring the malice of these Ruffians!—
The Editor of the Gazette seeks to inter
fere with free speech by abuse; bis com
peers in Kansas adopt the bludgeon. Per
haps this is the influence this man seeks to
exert by his unhallowed connexion with the
Presbyterian Church, which he disgraces.
Another member of that Church, inflam
ed with whisk y, can at:y day go out among
the p3ople, aud spread hit reckless calutu.
tries, without meeting any rebuke; ou the
contrary he is cheered with approval from
the same source which seeks by malignant
uluse to preveut another member ot that
Church from going to political meetings.
Not long since this same border ruffian
editor, this craven apologist of the cow
aid Broths, threatened to "crush out" the
Rev. Mr. Sample, the Presbyterian Clergy
man of this place, because he happened to
hold religious services on the same day and
in the same neighborhood in which he was
holding a political meeting. lie attempt
ed to account for the smaliness of bis meet
ing by meanly charging the Rev. Mr. Sam
ple with designedly holding divine worship
at the same time! The cowardly compeers
of this editor in Kausas take another plan.
They tarred and feathered a Mwhodist
CI urgjfemn not 1 ng since because he avow,
ed that he was in favor of making Kansas a
Free State. They are only "different mani
festations of the same hellish spirit.
MORE PROPS GONE.
Wo have already informed our readers of
the many proniininent rueu who once adhe
red to the Democratic party, as it is called,
who have abandoned it since the nomina
tion of that old Federalist, James Buchan
an. Some weeks since we announced the
desertion of the ilou. Johu N. Purviance,
of Butler county. Our opponents say
that he has regretted his course, and uow
declares his intention to support Buchan
an. If this be true it is a most strange
and sudden conversion ou the part of that
gentleman. By the Pittsburg papers we
are informed that recently he addressed the
friends of Fremont in Allegbeuy county, in
a speech of two hours in length. Subse
quent to this, at his own request, he was
advertised to address the Fremont Mass
Meeting in Pittsburg. If after all this,
he has gouc bank to Buchanan and Fede
ralism, it is strange indeed. At any rate
we take it he is now at most only a broken
prop of sham democracy, and oue which
will bear but little weight. But, however,
it may be as to Mr. Purviance, there are
hosts of others of equal or greater note,
about whom there is and can be no doubt.
Among these we name first the lion. A. 11-
fteeder , late the Governor of Kansas by ap*
poiutment of Genl. Pierce. lie was form
erly an eminent democratic lawyer of Eas
tou in this State; und after he was superse
ded as Governor of Kausas, he was elected
to the United •'Mutes Senate by the Legisla
ture ot that Territory. By a recent iettcr,
ho formally renounces all udhercucs to
sham Democracy, James Buchanan, and
slavery exteusiou, and is now stumping
Eastern Pennsylvania and the New Euglaad
States against the Cincinnati Platform and
its candidates.
Iu the same class, also, we have the
pleasure to name JTIXIE KELLY and JOHN
.M. REED, Esq., of Philadelphia. The
torinor bus been Judge ef the Philadelphia
Court of Quarter Sessions for many years,
ui.J yet holds that office. lie is an able
iuau and a powerful speaker, and he is now
•he Republican candidate tor Congress in
out of the city districts, and is boldly ad
vocating the cause o Republicanism on the
mump.
Johm M. Ileal, Esq., has belonged to
the sham democracy all his life, hut can
stand it no longer, and recently unfurled
the standardjof open opposition, by making
a speech at West Chester before the Re
publican "Club of that place. He has the
reputation of being a grgat lawyer, and af
ter Win. M. Meredith, he has few, if any,
equals at the Philadelphia bar.
And last, but not least, among these de
sertions is the Hon. Samuel 1). Ingham,
now of Trenton, New Jersey, and who wa a
one of the Oabiuet of Andrew Jackson
when he was President of the United States.
We hope to be able to publish his reocut
letter, renouncing ull allegiance to low
wages, slavery extension aud Buchanecring
democracy. These arc among the great
men of the country, and their actions are
among the cheering signs of the times.—
These men were democrats when democra
cy tttcant something; but they cannot fol
low such as Piereo, Douglas, Atehisou,
Stringfcllow and Bitchanau; nor can they
longer adhere to any pifty which endorses
the Cincinnati platform.
MORE MONEY TO CARRY PENN
SYLVANIA.
We some time ago published a statement
showing the large amount of money raised
iu Washington by the Locoos to carry the
election in this State. It seems that large
sum is considered not enough, and from an
editorial article in the New York Tribune
of the 20th inst., we quote as follows:
"A meeting of some of the most wealthy
New York Bankers and dry good jobbers
in the Southern trade was held by special
invitation at the New York Hotel, to take
measures to remedy, if possible, the present
desperate position of the Border Ruffian
■Democracy, Some fifty magnates of Fi
nance and cotton were present, representing
a capital of not less than twenty millions o*
dollars."
The article then proceeds to state that
the tone of the meeting was one of great
despondency. It was admitted on all hands
that there was great danger of Pennsylva
nia going against Buchanan at the ap
proaching State election, and it was deter
mined to prevent such a dreadful catastro
phe if possible, by raising a large sum of
money. The editor then says: "With re
gard to the sums subscribed, we have no
means of knowing precisely except that
they were large. I*ong before the meeting
was brought to a close the list stood at
20,000 dollars, and we presume it far sur
passed that sum at the end. At" a former
meeting of the same kind at tho same place
it is understood that §50,000 was raised
all to carry the election in Pennsvlvania."
We say to our readers, what do you
tbiuk of this? Fifty thousand dollars it
seems were raised long ago in Washington
City for this same purpose, and DOW seventy
thousand in the e.ty of New York, to car
ry the election in this State foi James Bu.
cbanan and tho Looofoco State ticket.—
Tho elections iu Kansas were carried by
tbe friends of slavery extension by march
ing some ten thousand men over from Mis
souri, and outvoting the resident settlers.—
That game cannot bo successfully played iu
so thickly a settled State as the old Key
stone; but the same party here are necessi.
toted to resort to some species of fraud to
answer the same purpose. Hence this cor
ruption fund of one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars raised iu other States to
buy up the mercenary and corrupt, to pro
cure some ballot box stuffing where practi
cable—California fashion, and ia every
practicable mode to defeat the public will,
and If possible, carry the day for sham de
tuoct* y.
We Lave too much confidence iu the iu.
tegrity of the people of Bedford county, and
of the Keystone State, to believe that they
can be b Might by any such tneaus or appli
ances. They may, and no doubt will, by
such tneaus decrease our majorities some,
but their political iniquities have been such
that uothing can save them from over
whelming defeat in October next. Such
base oceans oaly exasperate honest meu,
and make them more active and determined
for the right. The saute desperate game
was triedsby tho same party in the lato elec
tiou in Maine. Monoy was there used like
water, and poured out for every purpose
deeuiod practicable to farther the causo
of low wages, slavery extension, and Jamas
Buchanan. The r-sult was an overwhelm
ing defeat of Locofoooism in all its hideous
forms. At the last Presidential election,
Pierce carried the State by over 9,000 ma
jority, and at the last election for the Leg
islature, they elected 29 out of the 31 Sen
ators. This time their candidate for Gov
ernor was beaten some 20,000, and they
elected but bare ouc Senator out of 33,
and not a single member of Congress.—
Let but our friends in Pennsylvania do
their duty, aud we may rejoice ere long over
a similar result here.
We are requested to Btate that a Repub
lican meeting will be held at Enterprise on
Saturday evening next. Speakers will be
present to address the meeting.
BAIXTUOLOJHEW LAPORTE, the Uuion
candidate for Surveyor General, was form
erly a Democrat.
JOHN PUINQLU, our caudidate for Legis.
laturo, was formerly a Democrat.
A. J. Euc.HAiir, our candidate for Aud
itor, was formerly a Democrat..
llcsperaliou.
Among the many evidences of the awful
fright which has come upon the friends of
Buchanan and Breckinridge there is per
haps none more humiliating and more un
usual than the faot that John C. Breckin
ridge has taken the stump fur himself and
Buchanan. So far as we can now recol
lect this is without precedent. It is usual
and custotncry for candidates for Governor
and Co tigress and other smaller offices to
speak for themselves and their party during
the campaign. It has however heretofore
been considered improper aud in. bad taste
for candidates for either President or Vice
President to make stump spcechs. Hence
Fillmore, Buchanan aud Fremont, though
all said to he good talkers, are silent; and
Donnlsm and Dayton, though known to be
good speakers, restraiu themselves within
the usual bounds of propriety, and stay at
home. The democratic candidate for Vice
President however, ia the doperation of his
chances has been forced on the stump, aud
is doing what he can for his paity by mak
ing speeches. Recently he came on to
! peaiisy 1 vauia. and made one speech at Pitts
burg ar.d per L:;'* fibers; but he was met
here by the news from Ma.**** iU,< *_* ie
the back traek in short order, and I* 13 b e "
lieve never stopped until he reached to.
State of ludiaiia. -We venture to guess
that on the second Tuesday of October
both Pennsylvania and Indiana will give
him and his party such an intimation of
their political preferences, that he wil! there
after confiue his labors nearer Louie.
Wilson Reiily.
We find the following paragraph in the
last week's Gazette, under the above cap
tion :
"The result of that election proves, in
contestable, that Mr. Reiily was a much
stronger and more popular mm than Mr.
Pumroy. In a Whig county, which gave
80U against Iris party, Mr. 11. carue within
100 votes of uti electiou, and Mr. Pumroy
was defeated by nearly the saute number of
votes."
This shows the manner in which the li
beller of the living and the dead, attempts
by "downright lying," to bolster up his
candidate for Congress. That election was
iu 1841, tbe year after tho election of Gtn.
Harrison, and when his death had so dis
pirited the Whigs that they were beaten
almost everywhere. In 1840 the Whigs
had a majority in Fianklin county, but in
1841, wben Mr. Reiily and Mr. Pumroy
were candidates for the Legislature in that
county, the Locofocos had the majority,
and Mr. Reiily was beaten! David 11.
Porter carried Franklin county by 144
majority, and at the very same election,
Mr. Reiily was Lenten about 100 vo'.es,
running behind his ticket about *250 votes,
whilst Mr. Pumroy was beaten only about
40 or 50 votes, he running ahead of his
ticket about 100 votes! It is the game tho
Gazette i* playing in this campaign to tell
the boldest and most unblushing li s, and
palm them off upon its readers as tie truth,
and when we point them out aud prove their
falsity, it keeps mum! Mr. Pumroy will
run ahead of the ticket like be always has,
and his election is sure. An old broken
down nag, who run behind his own ticket
and was defeated in his own count) when
Porter had a considerable majority there,
is not the man to defeat Mr. Pumroy, who
always runs ahead of his ticket.
The Gaz tU deuys that the speoial Court
on the 17th ult , was called by Judge
Kiinmell, at the request of Locofooos iu
this plaoe, for the purpose of naturalizing
foreigners. Of course the convicted libel
ler would deny anthing. We had it f rom
several members of the bar, tbat it was
their opinion that it was called for no-otber
purpose, as there was scarcely anything
else to do. It says that we said there were
''ls or 20 foreign papists'" to be naturalize
ed. We said that we understood there were
to be from "(en to fifteen!" A pretty fel
low to talk of other people's "downright
lyiug'" They called the Court no one
doubts, for tbat purpose, but very torluuate
ly for the Americans, they were deceived
in their uien, as they found to their sorrow
that they were not in tho country quite
long enough for that purpose, and they
only get one!
The following article from the HoHiJays
burg Register of last weuk shows the way
they are doing up things in Blair county:
"NATURALIZATION OP FOLU.IOXKKH.—
At the AijoujrueJ Court in this place on
Friday last, those present witnessed a spec
tacle never bei'oro beheld witbiu the pre
cincts of Blair at least. It wis the Court
House thronged with Foreigners applying
for Naturalisation! And no lees than
EIGHTY-FIVE of theiu produced the re
quired certificates and made the required
proofs and oaths and vero admitted tty ci
tizenship—making (with the one hundred
and two Naturalized at the previous sitting
of the term,) the enormous number of ONE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN put
through at one Term of our Court!! Com
ment upon the fact is unnecessary; for
surely th^people will powder it. Amerioaos
must be Americans s'ill, as long as such
things occur.
We ee by the last Philadelphia Unity
News, (hat the Buchaneers in that city, are
making voters out of this class of people
at the rale of several hundred per day!—
flow long will Americans submit to these
things' Notwithstanding-all this au igno
minious defeat awaits Loeofoccbm as shurc
us the election arrives
The Oaze.te last week has a comniuuiea
tion from Jacob Bowser, written by the li
beller of tb living and the dead, in which
he states that he will veto for Buchanan and
Breckinridge, and that *'he may not be held
up os a two faced individual!" Bah ! lie
has changed his politics half a dozen times
within the past year, and has within a few
weeks said he was an American! But we
will let him ulone, for it is likely he will
change half a dozen times rnoro between
now and the election, and the last change be
may be with us!
The liteler falsifies about our old friend,
Win. T. Ral-ton After the Locofoco
meeting we conversed with him, and he was
as warm an American as there is in the
county, and will vote against the foreign
ticket.
The libcler don't refer to Amos Ed
wards, another as warm an American as is
in the county, who they also named as one
of the officers of their meeting.
They can't make people believe in other
parts of the county where these men are
not so well known, that they have changed,
by naming them, as officers of their meet
ings, for the libtder's tricks, as well as
those of the whole Dime ocratic Bucliaucer
party are well known.

COMING TO TFIEIR SENSES.—WE learn
that the Locofoeo speakers at the meeting
at Barley's School House on last Saturday
admitted that the Americans would carry-
Bedford county this fall, but that that ought
not to discourage them and keep them from
turning out! Tnev are coming to their
senses ai last!
Who don't remember when the lihcler of

zens of this place, men and women ? lie
has not reformed, and yet the libeler anil

' letters received within the last few days.
I nder date of Paris, Ky., Sept 25, a
writer says: "We are working very hard

l vote for Fillmore at all hazards ; she has
| never faltered, and she is now more wide
; awake than she has been siuco the great
; campaign for old Clay." Another letter,
' under date of Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 22d,

a doubt but that Fillmore will carry this

lennc?sco is ascertain us Kentucky."
Another gentleman writing from Clay
Village, Kentucky, Sept. 19, says, "Rodg.
Harrison, (Fillmore,) met Elijah Iliac, (Bu
chanan) at Eminence on Tuesday last .when
Hiso actually and positively declined to
divido the time with him and discuss our
principles before the people. That is the
tactics now of the Democratic speakers; tbcy
are thus declining at all their appointments,
because they are always out-matched by
the Atncriaan speakers, llise's course at
Euiiuoncc resulted to our advantugc decid
edly, aud at that meeting six Old Line
Democrats declared themselves no longer
for Buehanau, and came out publicly for
Filltnore. Two Old Line Whigs also, who
had boen co-operating with the Buchauan
party, publicly declared themselves for
Fillmore. Thero are only two more Old
Lino Whigs in" this county going for Bu
chanao, aud they are wavering, lih^so
j eight men left the Buchanan party oa

sustain its principles on the stump, t i, e ,
were not worth adhering to any longer"

WITHDRAWAL OF MR. BUCHANAN -
The Baltimore Patriot, after COPYING F RAW
the Philadelphia BJleiin the paragraph
relative to Mr. Breckinridge's SUGGESTION :
Buehanan as to the withdrawal of the I S >.

that we can scarcely imagine it has L_.-

Buchanan paper, published in Alabiuii,hij
the courage to utter its scnti cents iu these
worJs:
"Free Society! we sicken of the name.
What is it hut a conglomeration of Grta-n
Mechanics, Filthy Opt rut net, Sir.ull yjj.
Ed Farmers, and mven gtrua.t 77.
All the Northern and especially the Ne*
England States are devoid of society firtfi
for well bred gentlemen. The prevailinr
oiuss one meets with is that of mechanics
struggling to be genteel, and small farm
era who do their own drudge rv: and u:
who are hardly fit for association with a
Southern gentlemen's body servant. TLi
,s your free society which the Northern
hordes are endeavoring to extend into Kan
sas."
SOUTHERN NEWSPAPERS CHANG
ING GROUND.
The .Yew Orleans Picayune, one of ILo
most infl centitil journals in the South, lr;s
eomc out for FILLMORE. The editor it
the Brotcnsci le tTtnn.) Journal, has abuc
uourd the Democratic party, auJ declared
his adhesion to FILLMORE aud DoSLLsox.
The Valley Register, heretofore neutral,
published at Middletown, MJ., last week
hoisted the FILLMORE and DONELSU.N flay

Memphis, 1 cuncssce Las taken down the
names of Buchanan and Brcokiuridge, aui
plants itself übou the American plationn.
The Charleston .Mercery, the leading Dem
ocratic organ in South Carolina, recom
mends the Democracy to abandon Buchanan
and concentrate tlr.-ir votes upon Fillmore,
as the only means of defeatig AbolUiouisu .
These aro -'signs of the times*' cf some
significance. The truth is, the result f
the recent Northern elections has alarmed
tire Democracy of tlm South to a very tor-
siderable extent, and they begin to distrait
their ability to elect Mr. Buchanan, unless
the political revolution now going on in
the North e.in be checked, which it is by
no means likely they wiii be able to aecou.-
pl.-h. Shou:d the Southern Democracy
find it necessary to sacrifice Mr. Buehanau
in order to defeat Fronton t, we have no doubt
the sacrfiee will be made. In that event,
the present indications are that they will
cast their votes for Fillmore, nl.o has Icen
already endorsed by leading Democratic
journals of tiio South as a National Con
servative.
