A DUN ! —We would like some of our
delinquent subscribers to call and settle at

enough for the last three months to pay for
our paper alone. This is intended for you,
reader, if ynu owe us a dollar for subscrip
tion, advertising, or job work.
THAT CHALLENGE!
For some time past the opposition
newspapers have been boasting that DAVID
WILMOT has challenged Gen. PACKER to !
meet him in debate, and that he declines to
aceept. This is simply a gross falsehood,
manufactured out of the whole cloth. No
such challenge has ever been given. !f it
bad. bow easy would it be for them to give
Wilmot's letter, signed by his own name?
Geu. Packer is abundautly qualified to meet
any mau in Pennsylvania or elsewhere either
upon the Stump or in the Halls of Legisla
tion, and tue principles which govern and
control his political acts are such as eouri
the light of day. Discussion is what we
want.— Gazette of last week.
It is, is it? Well, what do you think of
the letters below ou that subject? "No
such challenge has ever been given"—pre
mature, slightly, aint it? "Gen Packer is
abundantly qualified to meet any man in
Pennsylvania or elsewhere either upon the
stump or in the IJalls of Legislation, and
the principles which govern and control his
political acts are such as court the light of 1
day." Why then does he not like a man,
if he is so "abundantly qualified," meet
Judge Wilmot, on the stump, to discuss the
principles invoiced in the present contest.
Jf "his political acts are such as court the
light of day," why docs he, like the cow
ardly craven, back-out, after the boast of
his friends, to meet Judge Wiliuot on the
stump, and let those "political acts" be dis
cussed before the people of both parties.
The fact is, Packer has grown rich off po
-1 tics, be was Canal Commissioner once,
and during his term the State was run iu
debt millions of dollars, and he dares not,
like an honest man, meet these things, fair
ly and squarely, and he also knows that as
a debater, be is a mere pigmy in comparison
with David Wiluiot, that he would be
worsted in every contest, and he absolutely
backs right out! What do you think, Lo
cofoes, of your pusilanimnns candidate now,
and what do you think, General, of the
following letters, in connection with your '
boastful article of last week?

Letter from /lon. David WitnuA to General '
William F. Packer.
TOTVANDA, July 14, 1857.
HON. WM. F. PACKER— Dear Sir: I
propose to spend some time, during the 1
summer and fall, in canvassing before the !
people of the State the principles and j
issues involved iu the pending State elec
tion.
Party meetings bring out only that por
tion ot the people to whom the call is made,
and the addresses are necessarily all on one
• side, whereas it is desirable that the whole I
people, so far as may be, should have both !
sides fairly presented before them at the I
same time.
If it should meet your views, I propose I
that we canvass so much of the State as is :
practicable, in company, addressing alter
nately the samo meetings. Should this
l/icot your assent, pltasp inform me at yonr
"iriiest convenience, so that we may arrange
the times and places of meeting," order of
• eakiug, Ac. j
[ Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
' " 1). WILMOT.
Gen. Packer to Judge Wilmot.
WILLIAMSI'ORT, Fa-I July 27, 1857.
HON. D. WILMOT.
Dear Si:— Your letter of the 14th in3t.
was duly received, and as it proposed a
plan for conducting the Gubernatorial Caw
| paign which had never hitherto beea adopt
ed in Pennsylvania, and as the interests of
other candidates wero involved in tho re
sult, I did not feel myself at liberty to
accede to your proposition without first
consulting the State Committee to which
the Democratic Convention has on its part
specially confided the control and manage
ment of the Canvass.
You will receive herewith a copy of my
letter to the Committee, as also their reply,
by which you will perceive that youi sug
gestion does not meet their approval, and
that, for reasons stated at length, I ought
not accede to your proposition. It is, there
fore, respectfully dccliued.
1 am, jours, truly,
WM. F. PACKER.
A FAILURE!—Bowman states that our
meeting of Saturday night week, was a
failure. We presume, however, that lie will
not stutc to his readers that the Loeofocos
had a meeting called for several weeks, to
take place at the Court House, on Satuiday
evening last. Bowman went to the Springs
! and procured the services of a Mr. Roberts
°f Pittsburg, the same person who helped
to stump this County last summer, to ad
dress the great "Democratic" meeting, that
was to be! Evening came on, Mr. Roberts
could not procure a hack at the Spiings to
come to town, but nothing daunted, and
true to Lis appointment, lie started ou foot,
and arrived at the Court House, after the
bell bad been rung several times. A great
effort had been made to get up a very large
meeting, a report was circulated that cue J
of the best stumpers in the Union was to ,
speak, and that Mr. Buchanan, who was at
the Springs, was to grace the assemblage
with bis presence, but it all would not do.
Mr. Roberts was told,very politely of course,
by the President of the Club, that be was
extremely mortified that they couid not get ;
up a mc-etiug, that there were only six in
the house, and that they would have to ad
journ and have the pleasure of hearing him
at a more convenient season! Mr. Roberts
also stated that he was sorry, on account
of the trouble he had in getting there, that
the people among the mountains of Penn- j
sylvania did not appreciate his extraordinary i
oratorical powers, and also on account of !
the not very fluttering prospects of the party j
in Bedford County! He then jumped into 1
a back that was passing by and was off to j
Hie Springs. The six, and this is actually
the correct number present, left, without ;
speak lug or organizing, to meer again some '
time during tho summer or fall!
BEDFORD CLASSICAL SCHOOL AND FE
MALE SEMINARY.—We call the attention
of our readers to the advertisement of this
Institution, in to-day's paper. The School
is under the charge of the Rev. G. W.
Aughinbaugh, a gentleman every way qua
lified for the discharge of the responsible
duties of a first-class teacher. Bedfoid
needs an Institution of this kind, and it
should be well patronized. The School
opens on Monday the 31st of Aug. Inst.
BEDFORD Sra NOS. —The Sprtngs are
still crowded with visitors. Mr. Buchanan
is still there, accompanied by his niece,
Miss Lane. El. Forrest, the groat Ameri
can tragedian, was at tho Spuugs, a few
days ago The seasoD bids fair to be a
lengthy one.
TOWN CLOCK.—The Town Clock is now
np in tho Court House Cupola. It was put
up by Messrs. Diniel and John Border,
both excellent mechanics, and keeps good
time. It strikes on the bell of the Court
House, and can be beard a considerable
distance from town. The clock has cost
putting up and 'all, between five any six
hundred dollars. The Commissioners of
the County subscribed $250, and the citi
zens the balance.
IN TOWN—Gen. Wm. 11. Koontz and
Cyrus Myers, Esq., of Somerset.
Owing to the absence of oue of our band?,
our paper has been unavoidably delayed this

MEXICAN LETTERS OF MARQUE.
Should Spain be silly enough to wage war
upon Mexico, Mexico will retaliate by an
attempt on Cuba, for which purpose, it L
said, Comonfort will employ the filibusters
who are so desirous of setting their foot on
that fertile Island. It is stated that he
has already sent to some of our ports a
number of quires of blank letters of marque
commissions, which the Mexican Cousuls
will be ready to fill up and deliver to appli
cants upon certain favorable terms, the
moment that war shall be declared by either
party. This will, no doubt, be the result,
and as there are so many ways of evading
the neutrality laws, even with the strictest
vigilance of the Government, the scheme
would probably be cutirely successful.—
We have no idea, however, that Spain in
tends to act so foolishly and endanger her
possessions. Her movements, so far, mili
tary and naval, are of no consequence, and
evioce no very warlike disposition.
A correspondent of the Journal of Com
mtrct says that ere long the present execu
tive manoion will cease to be the President's
residence, and will be appropriated entirely
f o offices connected with the presidency.
The grounds of the mansion are to he oc
cupied by executive buildings, cnc of which
is now m process of erection.
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
KANSAS AND MINNESOTA.
It is a significant fact, that while the
President's appointee is endeavoring to
thwart the clearly expressed will of tho
people of Minnesota Territory, that Gov.
WALKER is defying the public sentiment of
the people over which be is Bet as a ruler,
in Kansas.
In Miunesota the people, by a decided
majority, elected a Republican Convention
to frame a Constitution. The Democratic
Secretary heads the minority members, calls
tbein to order in an uppor chamber, and in
sists upon their being recognized as the
Convention which the people elected.
So in Kansas. A very large majority re
fused to take part in the election of dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention in
that Territory, because the government
there was begotten by fraud and carried on
in corruption, ending iu disfranchisement.
The Governor knowing these things calls
U. S. troops into the field to subjugate that
majority.
lu both instances, it is a bold attempt to
crush out the majority principle and iu its
place set up the one man power, as if in
mockery of the right of the people to go
vern themselves.
Santa Anna is haudlcd without gloves by
j the Republican press of Mexico, for his
late manifesto, in which be says that con
stitutional government is a poison which
always endangers tho life of uations. It is
only such lawless despots as Santa Anna
who ever doubt the efficacy of any law
higher than their will. The Mexican press,
however, show that the public s-mtimeut
clearly appreciates the necessity of
damental code of laws, binding the gover
nor as well as the governed; and it is not
likely that anything the expelled Dictator
can fay will induce them to overlook its
ed vantages.
A BRAVE GIRL.—An exchange paper
tells us that a young lady in Linn, Massa
chusetts, the other night, hearing a man
under her bed after she had retired, drove
hint forth and assaulted him with a heavy
cut glass lamp, dealing him several
severe blows with it in the face, and as lie
gained the stairway and tuadc tracks for
the door, helping him in his onward course
by hurling if after Itirn, taking biin fair and
square on the head. He must have felt
light-headed after this treatment.
Walker, the filibuster, notifies bis friends
to be ready for another visit to Nicaragua.
If Waiker were to take his former friends
with him he would empty soma of the hoa
| pitals of the country. The stories about
dissensions annmg tne xNicaraguans and
j between them and their allies are believed
to be unfounded reports, started by the fili
buster chiefs. Ry recent accounts, both
parties in Nicaragua had agreed to support
Martinez for President. Walker's prospects
iu Nicaragua are like his late victories,
flattering only at a very great distance.
Just two weeks before the death of Gov.
Marcy, he was in the Rochester Union of"
fice, and visited the press room of the es
tablishment. This was the first time-, he
said, that he had ever seen a printing press
at work! The Union observes: "When we
consider that he had, from his youth up,
been accustomed to write for the political
press, and had always been more or less
associated with the printing office, this cir
cumstance seems very singular
UNION AND VICTORY. — Who of the op
position to the liogus Democracy does not
want to see that party —Irish Rrigade aud
all—beaten "horse, foot and dragoous"' at
the approaching election in. this State? And
who doesn't know that it can be beaten only
by a union of the opposition? Then why
should any one of us decline to join in a
union movement —especially when the union
candidates come out manfully Jor our prin~
ciples?—Harrisburg Telegraph.
CT'We cannot refrain from calling the
attention of our readers to an advertisement
in this day's paper of the "Hair Restorative"
of Prof. 0- J. Woo 1 & Co., of St. Louis.
It will be seen that he has numerous cer
tificates from poisons of the highest char
acter, to the merits of his Restorative. From
positive knowledge we arc also enable to
say, that it it is in every sense what it pro
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate to pro- \
nounce it the finest preparation for the head
and hair which has so far been di vised by hu
man ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
threatened baldness, and restore to the head
its original profusion of uatiual and glossy <
hair, and when the latter lias been prema
turely tinged with gray, we have seen it,
like magic, restore the colors of youth und
health, The distinguised property of this,
we might truly say, miraculous "Restora
tive," is that it gives to the persons who
use it,the same head of hair that they wore
in youth, thus acting in strict compliance
with the rules of the first and greatest of
all toilet makers—Nature. No one who
has used it will hesitate to unite with us in
this testimony to its peculiar merit.—[Cov

POLITICS.
It is curious to observe how extensive if
not bow complete. , is the influence of the Ca
nal Commissioiers faction. Powerful, if
not supreme. Note, General Packer, an X-
Canal Commissiraers, nominated for Gover
nor, Geu. Forsjth an X-Commissioner, an
ofliecr in the Philadelphia Custom House,
with handsome lalaryand perquisites. We
wonder if General Baker, Collector, had
ever anything to do with tLc Public Works.
Another curious thiug, is, that Col. Mott,
Caual Commissioner. was selected by the
President, in preference to any other gen
tleman to convey his wishes to the Legisla
ture, as to the jsirson whom he should wish
to be chosen U. 5. Senator,thereby, as Col.
Mott, who, (though a very handsome and
urbane g&ntlcirnn) is not supposed personal
ly superior to many others, show ing the great
weigkl he was presumed to have from his
official position as President of tho Canal
Board !
Of General Packer, things are stated as
true which, in justice as well as charity,wo
should be slow to credit. The charges come
closely near to touch his integrity. Stories
are very apt to be got up about election time
against candidates and should not be too
readily received as true. Indeed, if true,
they would to have been known
to he true, it must he also elear that no mere
party weight or clamors could carry him
i;i against the sober judgment of the peo
ple.
So much his been proved against former
boards of Canal Commissioners—being sha
rers in Contracts, or giving or aiding to give
to relatives or friends, immense sums - im
mense sums, beyond the lair value of the
work to be done, or, indeed beyond what
others offered to do the work for, that a
charge of that so nude and sustainod
by presumptive evidence, would blow, be
yond the hope of success, the most popular
tuan.
So perfectly is it believed that the Canal
Co a i mission ers, aa<l their €inpf oyeJFflTiave
permitted, or participated iu gross abuses,
to the injury of the Treasury, aud to the
taxation of the People, that the wish became
nearly universal for the Sale of the Main
Lice. It was thought impossible to stop
the leaks—to cheek the corruption—to ar
rest so many, with the means of judging
behind downright robbery under the name
of Contracts 1
Our opinion is a plain business matter,
has been and is—that the Canal Commis
sioners ought not to be all oue party. An
Independent Democrat would do a great
deal to keep tw roguishly disposed Feder
alists in the Board,would do a great deal to
keep two roguishly disposed Democrats iu
order. So, in the Commissioner s Office in
every county in the State—so in the Judi
ciary, Supreme Bench and all. Ins't that
good sense ?
If it should appear that, when Mr. Pack
er was Canal Commissioner, monstrously
improper contracts were made, by which the
State lost thousands—it may seriously affect
hiui.
If it shall funher appear that oue of those
contracts was made, when a hi 1, equally
good,was before the Board —EPTor a uirge
a very large sum less, than given—the ]
blow to his popularity will be a heavy one. j
If further it should appear—that General j
Packer's brother was sharer in that Contract j
so enriching to the family, and so disastrous
to the State—why then he will probably
be withdrawn . )x;t the matter be investi
gated. Till thes suspend our opinions.
GENERAL PACKER
The Pittsburg Gazette submits it to its
readers whether such a man as GENERAL
PACKER is the 'proper person to fill the
"iiigtie- t of our State offices — he
<'is the proper jerson to Lave the credit,
" the rcputatioi, and the government of
"our good old State confided to his keep
ing
It pertinently remarks that:
"It is mere idle talk to advocate a return
to the purity and simplicity of earlier tunes
—to speak of a government conducted on j
principles of honesty and justice—and at
the same time pmposo tho placing of a pro
fessional offiee-lunter and a confirmed trea
sury-lccelt at thchead and front of the State
administration. With Packer in the Gov
ernors Chair, hi old associates—the con
tractors —the "jlanal Rats*'—and other
(fcqualy respectable personages, would again
be clothed with power and authority, and
thus the publiefinanees would become ilu
ranged and thoStatc credit seriouly affect
ed, as was the pse in 1541."
And ofter contrasting with his the public
and private lifcpt' DAVID TFILMOT, it says: j
"Let the pa| official conduct of tho two
candidates be joscly examined—let their
; political and qualities be carefully
: scrutinized by ie voters—and we have no
i apprehensions i to the choice they will
I make."

OBITUARY.
DIED.—At tin; Exchange Hotel in Ilol
lidaysburg, on tlie lilst day of July A. D #
1857,Mr5. PUBLIC PLUNDER,the moth
er of the 'Democratic' party,in full lifcan.l
vigor, at an nd vatioed age, in the presence
of her three loving sons,.the Canal Commis
sioners, and a largo and extensive number
of near relatives aud <lenr friends. Her ill
ness increased on the birth of h"r son Henry
C- Mott,nearly three years ago. Since then
she has been tottering over h.-r grave in the.
last stage of her disease, which was in the
heart. The large dose of "the people" ad
ministered by the Legislature last, wiuter
was likely to prove fatal, ilor son Henry
grew up, all of a sudden, to he a groat lug
tat boy, rather likely than othorwise. To
him belongs the credit of a change in the
Physician front the people to tlie Supreme
Bench. But unfortunately the medicine
of the latter only hastened her to the grave.
Poor Henry, after biting kicked out of Court,
was well nigh being prostrated with the
same disease, hut ho survived to vriiuess his
mother shed her last tear aud breath. He
is a worthy son of his tnoiher. It is a pain
ful duty to tecotd the departure of one who
leaves behind so many weeping relatives attj
friends. It ,y truly °f the deceased
that her loss will ho severely felt by many
throughout the entire community. Her
blood runs in the veins of at least fifty thous
and persons, besides a large number of rel
i atives not of tho blood, ller funeral was
! honored with the presence of more blood re
j iations than that of any other person's whose
loss has been mourned in our community.
lier Great Great Grand Father was present.
Ouc huudreu uncles with at least one thous
and other relatives witnessed the solmn cere
mony. They could boast of being the foun
ders of the old Portage road as well as of
the new, and of being otherwise extensively
distinguished citizens.
It may be truly said of the deceased,that
j iu the midst of her usefulness, she w.s in
I death. Three year? ago she bid fair for a
long life, full of vigor and health. Able to
Jdo anything her heart might desire. She
need hut lay her band upon the head of the
! blind to restore their sight. She need but
declare her will and Franklin Pierce and
James Buchanan would be carried to Presi
dential Honors. In early life she v.ould
not let the right hand know what the left
was doing- The last act of her life fully
exemplifies this principle;— it. was on the
night of the 30th, the night before her death
in its darkness and stillness, when no hu
man eye could see, that she, of her own free
any one, volunteered to convey from her
Depot iu Gayeport, to the Foundry in the
same place, a large lot of new Bars of iron.
What a muuificcntact 1 There,early in the
! Morning of the Sis', on the scale- were to
| be seen the fruits of her noble gcncro-ity.
| Although her hours, like those of Mclvim,
were numbered, she was not the one to be
seen blazeing fortii her own glory.
Mine is not the pen to do the decease full
justice. I' hope some one of the relatives
j will furnish the statistics necessary to ar
| rive at something like such a result. For
the present we will append the programme
and funeral obsequies ?
It was past oue o'clock before the cere
monies closed; and SOOD after, the proces
sion begun to move. We enjoyed a favor
able post for observation, having a fair view
of the procession; and the impression was
that of a solemnity every way worthy of the
occasion.
The Hearse which bore the mortal rc
maius was drawn by two beautiful black
hordes, splendidly caparisoned. The cof
fin occupied a conspicuous position, and
was fully exposed to view.
