I Mi. BtZUHTifr i TBI'S po m-ion. Ae the fiienda of both Wilmot and lla zlehwret art so eordially united in support our eotmty ticket, we have designedly omitted te say anything ia our paper which couM give offense to auy of oar friends.— This course it is eur intention still to pur see, but we fear our silence on certain mat ters has been misunderstood, and deem a candid statement of eetue facts necessary to justify cm own position. It seem* that quite a number of our Auioiican friends hnre got the idea that Mr. Hazlehurst is the regular Anieriasu candidate for Governor, and some have ervu iurimated that for this reason theyMt themselves uader some sort *f obligations to support him rather than Mr. Wilmot. Here iu a grand mistake, ami oi.o which ww take the liberty of correcting by a htief tAheil to a few recent facta, which it is important fev all of as to bear in Bi nd. '. Tk t'nko OttmliH, which met ( Har- 4 i isburg on the :14th of March last, and which nominated Wilniot, MiHward, Veeoh, and Lewis, MtwUW on * mil issued by tha American and Republican members of the legislature, and addressed to all wb wore opposed to sham democracy. The Convention was a foil one, and in it the Americana, Republicans and old tine Whigs were fully represented. After full consul' tutus, the ticket was for ami, sod a platform of principle# adapted, by almost, if aot al together a usaeiawus vow.' riot* after this was all doat, the Aamrie— State Council jasued a call for a meeting a* Altooaa about the middle ef April. Accordingly the 8 at Council met, aad took under oooidr --aiiott t'ie props iaty ef uammeting a separate America State ticket. After locking over tiie whole ground, audi sfW mater* deliber ation, tie State Council deliberately, and almost unanimously, adopted the following Prc-.ntole and Resolution* WiiCrcaa, The State Conaeil a* its rwgn- Isr session, bald at AJtoeaa oa the 2d of March, 1837, stated it was in favor of aoor aiat Unioo of those opfecwd to the modem DetiKtceatM party, and whereas a Union State Convention was held at Uarrisburg on the 2fob of March, 1837, aad nominated David Wiimot for Governor, aad Wo. Mill ward for 0* sal Cotamiostooer, aad Joseph J. Lewis and Jsmei Veeeb for Judges of the Supreme L'etlrt; therefore, Resolved, That this State Council deem it inexpedient to make a distinct it* nomina tion, and that it will not issue a call for a separate American Convention. Resolved, That inasmuch as the Union State Convention was composed to a groat extent, of member* of the American party, and inasmuch as the essential principles of our organization are contained in the plat* form of said Convention, anil inasmuch as the nominees of said Convention approve of our principles, therefore wo recommend them to the support of the members of the Auierieao party at the ensuing October elec tiou. Such Was tbe action of tbe State Council in April last. It deliberately endorsed both the candidates and platform of tho Union Convention, and resdved to mako no other nominations; and this action it has ever aiooc adhered to. These are the plain facta, and so far then from Mr. Haselliurst being the regular American candidate, he and hht friends have repudiated the de liberate action of the State Couneil, and he is running in defiance of its action and its decrees, and in our judgment making a most unjustifiable and factious opposition to its judicious recommendations. How was Mr. Haxelburst nominated!— This question can bo easily answered, as follows: Sotn* half-dozen members of tho State Council dissented from tbe action of the Council in adopting tbe above preamble and resolutions; and instead of acquiescing in tbe will of the majority, fictiously with drew from the Council, aud beaded by Mr. n. B. Swoope, issued a call for another Convention at Lancaster. Aided by the Daily News, of Philadelphia, of side door notoriety, and we believe by about two oth er papers in the State pretending to be American, the Convention assstnbled at Lancaster in May, and nominated Messrs. Hazlehurst, Linderman, Broome and Brady. After great efforts to get a full atten dance and to make tho opposition to the State Council look as formidable as pos sible, this Convention was a miserable failure, there being only eight counties in the State represented out of the whole si£- ty-four. This was tbe Convention which thus nominated, Mr. 4 Haaeiburst, iu defiance of both the action, and recommendation of the State Council; and however much wc may differ with any of our American friends, we don't with any of tbeus to labor under the delusion that Mr. Haselhurst is tbe nominee of the American party, or that be has any claims on anybody as snob. On the contrary, we consider ourself as good an American ae Mr. Haselhurst or any of hie friends, and becanee of thie feel it to be our doty to act in accordance with the plain direotioas of the State Couneil, which we bmve heretofore considered ae recognized authority in tbe party. We have thus stated a few facts of recent oecurretiee, which no well informed man can deny, and endeavored ealmly to reason the matter with our ftiends. We ask hi all kinduess a careful consideration of these things. Read the above Preamble and Resolutions, and see whether we cannot, aa heretofore, act harmoniously together, end in accordance with what we consider the w'ia suggestions of our State Council. Wilmot and bin Slanderer*. Never, perhaps, in tbe history of politic* was i candidate for office tuore outrageous ly abueed than DAVID WILMOT. Misrep resentation and slaodrr alwmya have been the principal weapon* of our adversaries; and at no former period have they been mere indignant, and unacrupulouafthan at preaent. Our national leader*, Webster, Harrison, Clay, Taylor, and others, in time* oa*t, were slandered to their very graves; and in our own Sut# our seveial candidates from time to time have shared a like fate. The fact that Wilmot, until within the last ten years, belonged to what is called the democratie party, only seems to have shar pened the tooth of malice, and loosened the tongne of slander, and to make hiui an espe cial object of vituperation. When in that party he was reputed a great tnau amongst them. They elect*d, and re-elected him to Cougress; and not long since by an over whelming vote elected him president Judge of his district. But, no sooner does be find it impossible to go witb that party, than he is at onee denounced as everything that is despicable and vile; his past services in Congress and on the bench, art at once ig nored, and be is bald np by an unprinci pled press as a sort of political monster, and an enemy to his State and country. Wn have too mneh confidence in the intelli gence of tbe people to believe tbat any man who is what tie ought to be can be put down ly any such Jnfounded abuse as that whieh now characterises the political ad ' vol sat ie* of David Wilmot. We believe ; him te be-an able, honest, intelligent, and I patriotic eitixen, sound on all the great po- I litical isens* of the day, and every way wor thy tbe suffrages of the people at the ap proaching eleotiou. To abow this, we will submit a few unquestionable facts for the consideration of our readers: There is a Congressional district in this State called the W It.MOW district, aud composed of tbe Counties of Bradford, Susquehanna, and Tioga. Time out of mind it was known as a democratic distriot, and in 1852 it gave Gen. Pierce a majority of 2465, over Gen. Scott. Gee. Pierce and his party was pledged to abide by the compromises on the subject of slavery, ad to suppress all agi tation of tbe question. But no sooner was I be fairly installed into efiffea than all pledg j * were repudiated, and tbe Missouri Com promise act of 1820 repealed. For ths BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. treachory and abandonment of principle Wiiuiot deserted tbe party; and not only did he leave it himself bat be took his district with him, so that in 11154 Governor Pol lock's majority over Higler in the Wilmot district was 4094—a change in two short yesrs of 6559 votes—sod last year the ma jority against Buchanan iu that district was 9277. Here are facts which cannot be questioned sr lied away; and the opposition in their tirade of abuse.ainoogst other tilings charge Wihnot with bunging about this wouderfal change in his district of al mo ft 12,000 rotes in last than four years. Now we submit that tbe man who could do this is no ordinary or cnminon man. Who else in tbe State could do this? Having been Congressman and Judge in that district for many years the people knew him, and know him well. They know his moral character, they know his honesty, they know his abil ity, and they know his leal; and knowing •11 these things well, tliey have at his bid ding revolutionised the district. Shown* the man who has influence at home,and such un bounded influence too as Wilmot bus,and we will then show you the slanders of eneinio* certainly ought nut and we trust cannot in jure such a nun. Even tho stale and on founded cry of tl aboiHion :f ought not to hurt him, or decieve any who would other wise be his friends. On what is this last ►Under founded.' When iu Congress a bill was up in relation to the Territory of Oregon. To one of the sections Wilmot offered a proviso f hat neither Slavery,nor in voiuntary servitude except for crime, should ever be extended into said Territory. This, and nothing more, t* the celebrated Wiliuot Proviso. Oregon was then free, and hi* proviso was iuteuded to keep it free and nothing more. It is simply tbe great old Whig doctrine of the non-extension of sla very, the doctrine now advocated by the Auisriean and Republican parties, and the doctrine too of the democratic party in the whole north down to the adminiatratton of Genl Pierce. There is no abolitionism about it; nor has Wilmot ever writteu a line nor uttered a sentiment in favor of abolition, and his enemies know it; and yet they persist, as heretofore in the cases of ('lay and Web ster, and Scott, in their indignant, and senseless attempts to make the people be lieve him an abolitionist. In conclusion wo only say to all, come and hear him next Tuesday night, and titer, judge for yourselves between him and his false accusers. Gil*. F.U KER'M REFIIAL. The Democracy are heartily ashamed of Gea. Pecker's refusal to meet Judge Wil mot in an amieable discussion of the great issue oo which tbe people of Pennsylvania tie to pa** judgment in October. Since he has volunteered to take the etutup alone, they knew it was only fear of hie cause which prevented his acceptance of the chal lenge te discuss those issues before mixed audiences of Democrats and Republicans- Their chagrin sometimes be i ray a itself through their organs, iii'no ambiguous lan guage. The Cincinuatti Enquirer, the lead ing Democratic organ of Ohio, thus ceui nients on the case : •'Judge Wiliuot, tbe Black Republican caudidate for Governor in Pennsylvania, lately challenged Gen. Packer, the Demo cratic nominee for that office, to take the •tump with him iti pub.io discussion through out the State. Mr. Packer referred the proposal to the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, who advised hitu to de cline it, assigning several reasons for such a course, which, iu our judgmont, are not at all tenable. The first was, that it might have a teudeucy, by making a precedent, to preveut, hereafter, tbe uomiuatiou of any man who was not a good debater; and sec ond, that in his (the Chairmau's) belief theie was a considerable public feeling against tbe propriety of executive candidates appearing before the (>eoplc to solicit their votes: aud lastly, that Wiluiot, ths Black Republican nominee, was a special disqual ification. This latter objection was no reason why- Packer should not take the field, and if any disadvantage had resulted to Wilmot in consequence of his improper course, Demo crats would uot take that to Leart severely. The other reasons for the declination strike us as very flimsy. The policy of exposing candidates for high political offices discus sing together the important issues of a cam paign, has been tried in ths South aud West with tbe most complete success. The peo ple have been instructed by it, and it ia no uuusual thing in the South to find man with out any education, who, on account of their familiarity with political discussions by the ablest uieo on both side*, are better infor med on politics than tuauy people at the North of far superior education. "There can be uo better way of elucida ting the truth than by a fair aud open dis cussion- The Democracy—on account of the superior justice and strength of their cause—should especially court it on all oc casions. The falsehoods and errors of our opponents can in no wsy be so handsomely and forcibly exposed. Tbe adoption of tbe system in the north would, doubtless be worth thousads of rotes to our organisation. ! The declination of Mr Packer gives Wil mot's friends an opportunity to assert tbat Democracy are afraid of public controversy, and places them in a bad and false position. Packer, we understand, is a good speaker, and wonld, on the stump, have been an overmatch for Wilmot, had the proposal been accepted. We hope that in Ohio no such feeling will prevail, but that our cau didate for Governor will promptly meet Gov. Chase ID discussion in every part of the State." McKim was hung iu Hollidaysburg, on last Friday. He made a long speech in whioh he deniod having murdered Norcross. There are still quite a number of visitors at the Bedford Springs.

Chairman oj the Committee. EDWARD M'PUERSON, Secretary. HON. I)AVII) WttMOT TO BE IN BEDFORD. Out readers will see bj the above list of appointments that the HON. DAVID WIL MOT, our gallant Standard Bearer in the present contest, and the inan from whom Billy Packer flees and so ingloriously back ed out, is to be present to address the Union mooting on Tuesday evening of Court Week. Let there bo a good turn-out from all par ties. We would be bappy to see a large number of the hone-t but deluded members of the Locofoco party present to bear biiu. They can see the man and hear for them selves the principles he advocates. They cannot help, after btariog him, being con vinced that the lying slanders of their lead ers, to the effect thai he is an Abolitionist and in favor of turning looae three millions of alaves,are all false. Turn-out, all of all parties to him. We hope every American and Republican in the County, who can possibly do so will attend, and hear Judge Wilinot, next Tues day night. Come and hear from bis mouth whether the lyiug Locofoco skuders,that he is an Abolitionist, art trne or not. The evenings and mornings hare been quite cool and refreshing for several days past. Next week is Court, and the probability is that it will be quite throng. H'oodbtrry Corrttpondtnct. HARVEST HOME. The usual monotony of our district was suddenly changed by the meeting together of a large number of persons from contigu ous as well assistant points in this locality, to celebrate the festivities of a Harvest Home. It is seldom so many happy faces are ex hibited, as were on the ocoasion. Fathers and Mothers io the maturity of content ment, aitrrounded by groups of sons reach ing to manhood, and daughters in 4 whose roseate oheeks one could read volumes in favor of rural training, compared with tbe sickly indolence written on tbe brows of the city fair. Here were the bone and sinew of tbe land aa displayed in the athletic forms and brown faces of oar industrious young cultivators of tbe toil. A delightful harmony of purpose seemed written on the countenances of all; they had toiled and overcome tbe stubborness of the land, and in return rejoiced over well-filled barns, in which tbe "staff of life" for man and beast abounds to assure them of plenty foe anoth er year. * i The '*Odd Fellows 1 Hall" Was seleoted for the hearing of speeches. The meeting was organized by appointing Geo. R. Barodollar, President; Miss Kate Morrow ■ and Misr Potts. Viee Presidents; Mrs. Ma ry T. Rayuolid and Mia. Fanny Miller* Secretaries. On motion, Maj. Samuel Tkte addressed the happy throng. The Major is the Dem ocratic nominee for Prorhouotary of Bed ford Co., and if his success at the poll- in October equals the voice of approbation awarded him for his eloquent and appropri ate speech on this occasion, he will be sure to triumph. An excellent baud of mu*k was present, and while loud and animated cheers followed Maj. Tuto'a address, "The Star Spangled Banner" burst from the in struments of the amateurs, with indescriba ble enthusiasm. A choir of young ladies, under the lead of Mr. Oligue, of Martiu-burg, made the acene melodious with thoir sweet strains; among other songs, the most pleasing was "The country girls"— "Up in the morning early Just at 'be pop of day." Major Raymond, of the "Blair County Whig," was loudly called for. He respond ed in a brief and appropriate speech, which did great credit to his head and heart. It was comprehensive, embracing the purposes and fitness of such a celebration, as a trib ute of thankfulness to tbe great Creator, whose munificent bounty tbis'year, has ex tended universally. Politics of course were not alluded to, but, our country —its social and political blessings were emphatically dwelt upon. "Hail Colombia," with varia tions, followed tbe Major's address. Music by tbe band, aongs aud social merriment, filled up tbe remaining space until tbo hour of dinner arrived. Tbe crowd being too great to be accommodated by any ooa bouse, they were divided be tween the two establishment* of Messrs. Piersou and Fluck. The dinners were most excellent, comprising all the delica cies and solidities of tbe season, done up in a style that would have even converted Horace Gieely himself to advocate the country cooking of Pennsylvania, at least, to applaud the cuisine of Woodberry. Af ter feasting, tbe company repaired to an ad jacent grove, where swings were erectod. The afternoon passed fl-etly amid the va ried festivities of the occasion. Mr. J. K. Durborow made a short and interesting address to tbe children in the grove. Tbe famous Grasshopper song by Mr. A. Shultz elicited loud merriment. Tbe musicians, untiring in their exertions to please, gave a charm to the whole proceedings. The sun siuking in bis western bed gave notice for a cessation of future enjoyment. Hands joined £o hands, and eyes met eyes in eloquent expressions of "gcod-bye," as the many visitors turned from tbe delightful spot for their respective homes. Such a day, amid such a joyous, well ordered, in tellectual party, untainted with a single drop of Alcohol in any shape, will be to us a bright spot in life, to recall, when rol ling years shall have widely separated its partkipouts. ONE OF TUB PARTT. TUG MAIM 1.1 ME ISJIMCTIOX CASE. The Law ¥Mato4 by (he Auditor VeaeraVaad State Treasurer. The new Chairman of the Democratic State Committer trirs his hand at plunder, and successfully. The publie will bo astonished to learn that tbe counsel employed by IIENEY 8. MOOT, in tbe oase of his application before tbe Supreme Court for an injunctioy to pre vent tbe sale of the Main Line of the pub- Ik worka, bavc presented claims to tbe ac counting officers of the Common wealth, and , that the Auditor General actually allowed the claims and the State Treasurer paid them! The attorneys who argued the caa on behalf of Mr. Morr, were Wn. M. MKR EDITII, CtIARLKS R. BCCKALEW, W*. L. HIRST and JAMES 11. WALTON. Their bills were aa follows: Win. M. Meredith 94,000 C. R. Buokalew 750 Wo. L. Hirst 750 Janice H. Walton 500 The Auditor General—Mr. JACOB Fur —at first declined payiug them, on the very proper ground, that they had not boeo em ployed by the Commonwealth, aud that there was no appropriation for any sueh purpose. He was induced, however, to re-consider bis deciskn,aud he finally allowed the claims, and tbe State Treasurer promptly paid them. This is ooe of the most unjustifiable de mands against the State on tbe part of the attorneys, and) the most glaring violation of pnblio duty on the part of tbe officer* of tbe Commonwealth, we hare ever beard of. Tbe suits were not brought by tbe Commonwealth and the attorneys were not employed by her. The case was between tbe Pennsylvania i Railroad Company and Mr. MOTT and hie allies. So far u the State was concerned in the matter, her interest were defended by the Attorney General, whose compensa tion is provided for by law. There is no provision anywhere for the payment of such claims as these attorneys presented; bat oc the contrary, they are strictly prohibited by the law passed at the last session of the Legislature in relation to the datia* of tbo Attorney General. Under the old laws tbe Auditor General,Stato Treasurer, Ac., were snthorited, in oases in which the Common wealth was a party, to employ counsel to defend her or advocate her claims. Of late years this privilege was greatly abased by these officers by paying to political favorites the most unreasonable and eoormoua fees for Tory trifling aervicea. For nwtaoco— last year the Ouiumonwealth paid to varioua lawyer** for th*o fkind of servicer, 86,014- 56, aud iu 1850 *b paid $10,784 7s. It 1855 tbo fee* paid in one care ware over 82,000: and in 1850 in one case they were sl,ooo, and iu another o?er $2,000! Tbese abuse* were carried to suck an extent that the last Legislature saw the necessity of ■topping the plundering of the Treasury in this way, and tying tbc hand* of tbo officer* who were thus abusing their truvt. With this view Mr. JORDAN introduced a hill de fining the duties and compensation of the Attorney Goneral, which was so eminently proper that it pa#*d both branches by unaiinoon* assent, and received the appro val of the Governor. From this law we quote the following Motions, a* bearing on i this case : StC 6. That tbc salary of the Attorney General shall be $3,000 per annum, paya ble quarterly, which salary shall be in full for services iu all casos in the Supreme Court wherein the Commonwealth is a party, for all legal opinions on questions of law submitted to hiin by the Governor, the Auditor General, State Treasurer, Surveyor General, or Canal Commissioners, and in full Jor all ftes and professional services whatsoever to be paid by the Commonwealth. SEC 9. That the tenh section of the act of Msrob 13, 1811, and the first section of the act of March 29, 1818, relating to the employment and pay of attorneys by the State Treaaurtr nnd Auditor all other act* or parts of acts inconsistent here with, or whion, by the provisions of this aet, are altered or supplied, are hereby repeal ed. These sections of the law are oonclosire. The object was to prevent the abuses which bad prevailed in cases like the present, and it would do it effectually, if the law was re gatded. By repealing all laws whose pro vision are inconsistent with tbw not, and are altered er (applied, it takes frotu the Auditor General all right to employ counsel in any case, or pay the in for any services rendered. And ibis case is even worse than any other we have ever heard of, for the reason that the counsel were not noting for the Commonwealth, were not employed by her, bnt were employed by and aetiug for, other parties. The transaction is an out rageous one, and cannot he justified. The parties deserve to be held np to publio rep robation, and the Legislature next winter should compel tbcui to disgorge their ill i gotten plunder. This is the latest specimen of Democratic plundering. Let the people reflect upon it, before) consenting to perpetuate and approve such knavery by electing a Legislature and a'Governor who will whitewash this mean and dishonest transaction.— Harritburg Tdeqrmpk. • I'M R Committee." tty*""soy'a don't lsogb," said a colored individual, as he carried a coffin containing an iufant, along the street; 'boy's don't laugh, i'ae a funeral.' Thai colored individual must certainly have been a Loeofooo, and acquired thi- fa cility for giving up bis identity by practi sing the inetaiuorpbostioal feats of Mr. Bu chanan and Mr. Backer. The gentleman who now represents the Democracy in the I'tesideotial chair, on being questioned as to bis principles, denied that he was James Buchanan any longer, but contended that 'l'ae a platform.' And the gentleman who mora nearly resembles the funeral aolcmuity of bis sable prototype in bis hasty transmog rification, has, with a face as long and gloomy as Cromwell's puritans, denied that he was Mr. Packer, but reintroduces him self to the people of Pennsylvania, with n solemn bow and with the solemn language) •I'ae a committee.'
