R ess E1.!., Sec'ly. "Sept. 11, 1857. IVm. i*. Schell, Flsq., is the candidate for the-Senute from this District. Sdbeli ! ■is a clever fellow, but nevertheless, we will 1 have to beat hiiunot less thaD 1500 votes. ; Burnt brandy will not save liiin. Cessna would have been the candidate had we had I a split on this question as lie had fondly j hoped, but as he was licked so beautifully six years ago fur the same office, when we had a split in our ranks, he thought he would just now force the defeat on Schell, aud wait f>r a "more convenient season."' Gen. .lames Rums of Redford Couutv mid David Hay of Somerset County, are the l/oeofoco candidates for the Legislature from this District. We hope they will have -a good time of it. Hay is n renegade 'Know Nothing aud Whig; but that will not linjure him any wiih the Locofocos in this County, as they are now led on by renegade Know Nothings and Whigs, iu this Bor ough. That's so. The meetings addressed by Mr. Wihuot at McConnellsburg, Chambersburg, Hollidays- Lnrg, Altoona, und other places, so far as we have been able to observe, have been immense assemblages, and everything bids fair for his triumphant electiou. THE DAILY YEWS. i It seems that our article of week bcfoie last defining Mr llazelhurst's position, ha s ! given mortal offence to tlio Uaiixj JVcvs <J | Philadelphia; and it thereupon proceeds to abuse us roundly, and at length, and : challenges us to reply. In the first pi ice, i we never expected our course on this quo*. | tion to meet the approbation of the Locofo i cos, nor ny of their alius ; aud the disap | probation of the .Yews is therefore quite nat" ural. | In the nest place, it seems we made a ! grave mistake in alledgiug that only ''some ! half-dozen" members of the American State Council disseuted from the eudorseiucnt giv :en by it to the Union State ticket. We wrote merely from our recollection Of the facts, and without any copy of proceedings at hand. We arc reminded by the .YV&s 1 that the State Council is ''composed-of souse | 1500 members,"' aud that the actual number who seceded was "sifleen." Our error does not seem tohave been one of uiueh substance. '•On the contrary when the whole truth is given, matters look worse even than we rep resented them. One of the Resolutions o 1 the State Council was as follows: "RcsolveJ: That this State Council deem it inexpedient to make a distinctive nom ination, unl it will not issue a call fur a separate American Convention." Iu the other Resolutions it (indorsed both the Platform and candidates of the Uuiou Convention, and recommended them to the adoption and support of the members of the American party. These illustrious "six teen" disapproving of all this, seceded and in repudiation and defiance of the action of the majority of the Council issued a call of their own for a convention to meet at Lan caster, not to nominate a ticket but "/o deter mine what couise to pursue in the campaign.'' When this Convention met, although only eight counties out of the whole sixty-four were represented, they preceded tnlnominate Mr. II AZEI.HURST, and his associates on the ticket; and this is the ticket now supported by the Daily -Vewj, and by the -York Eagle, and by a paper at Norristovrn, called, we believe the JVutional Defender, and so far as we can learn, by no other paper in the whole State - And we see by the Philadel phia Sun , that three fourths of those who signed the call are r.ow out and out for Wilinot. The .Veins cbuekles over the idea fa at there is a prcspest that ILz Taurst may get enough votes to defeat Wiliujt, and this delight is evidently in no degree lessened by the consideration that the defeat ofWil niot would be the election of Packer. If we know the Americans of Bedford Coun ty, they have no sympathy Willi those who deliberately repudiate the actiou of the State Couucil, and especially when it is so manifestly done to elect' Packer, if such a thing be possible. We assigned Mr. 11a zelhurst bis true position in our former ar ticle; and neither the anathemas nor the in genuity of the A'tfics can explain it away. He is ruutiing not only without the authori ty, but in open dtfiance of the clearly ex pressed action of tbetState Council. It has not met since it Resolved at Altootta in May last, to make no scperate State •nominations this fall. MIiMUKI KLKtim. We uotico in scvenll Lbcefoco papcra, great crowing and rejoicing over the recent election in Missouri. According to a l ite telegraphio despatch, Stewart, the Lowofoco candidate for Governor has been elected over Rollins the American candiduto,by the mca- I gre majority of 334 votes. Last year there . were two Locofoeo candidates tor Governor j running in that State, Polk aud Benton,' against Ewing American. The vote stood j Polk, 40,245; Benton, 27,576; Ewing, 41,- 0-70. Polk's majority over Ewing 5,100. Polk and Benton over Ewing K2.745. Thus it wiil be seen that at the Governor's elec tion in that Slate, last year, the Locofocos S had a majority of thirty two thousand seven : hundred and forty five.' At the Presidential election last fall, the vote stood, Buchanan, 58,164: Fillmore, 48,524, Buchanauhs majority, 9G40! Vet | in one short year, this large 'iiajmity for Governor and President has been brought down, by their own showing to the pitiful majority of 334! We suppose they are crowing now over ibis result, because they n< ver expect to carry another election in j that Slave State. It is contended in Mis-1 souri that even that result was brought about by the most astounding frauds.— Whenever the hocofocos at the seat of Gov ernment ascertained that tin result w?s about to be very doubtful, aud only a few counties to come in, they started out run ners to meet those bringing the returns for the purpose of altering the figures, so as to elect Stewart. It is supposed by many that Kolli.is will yet be the Governor, as was the i case in Wisconsin a year or two ago. That party altered the returns, so as to defeat Bash ford, but ou taking the ease to the Su i preuie Court, and having a fair and full in vestigation, Mr. Bashford was declared , fairly elected,and took his seat accordingly, i A party that would stoop to such infamy, and ballot box stuffing as they did in Califor , nia, and frauds, such as were proved upon then) in the District Attorney case in Phil adelphia, will do so any where else. Truly, instead of rejoicing over the re sult in Missouri, they may well exclaim, in the language of the noble old Roman,'' A nother such victory and lam undone!" An other sueb a change iu Missouri, as has been BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. made in ono short year, and the signs of the times point that way, and Locofoaoisui will be defeated by from 15,000 to 20,000! BEDFORD lOf Vn FUR. It has been decided to hold an Agricul tural Fair, in Bedford, on the 21st, 22d, and 23d days of October, nest. We hope all the agriculturalist?,mechanics, &e., of this ami adjoining Counties, will at teud, and have on hand their best produc tions, labor saving inventions, &<\, icc. We anticipate quite an attractive Fair, which will fully equal, if not surpass any af those held in former years, as the harvest has beeu one of the best we have ever had, and the fruit, of which we have excellent varieties, quite abundant. Let every friend of the cause use his exertions in producing some thing to surpass his neighbor, and bring it to the Fair, and our word for it, he will have uo cause for regret. IMPROVEMENT. —Col. E. L. Auderson has repaired the large house which was burn ed last year. lie has also torn down the walls of the other building and little brick offices that were burned at the same time, and intends erecting in their stead a row of open front brick store rooms. This will be ; buito a handsome and necessary improve- \ ment. The Col. is one of our most lib- ; eral and enterprising citizens. We Deglected at the proper time to state that the Pennsylvania Farm Journal , pub lished in Philadelphia, has been discontinu ed; and tbdt till subscribers who have paid in advance, will he supplied with the Amer ican Agriculturist, published iu New York, in its stead. The Agriculturist is o;rc of the best farm journals in the country, and we recommend it to all our readers. Pie-NIC. —The Presbyterian aud German Reformed Sunday Schools of this piure had a piu-nic at the Springs on Tuesday last Au invitation was extended to our citizens generally, and a great many persons were there, and .partook of the entertainment. Everything was gotten up in the best of style, and we are informed all enjoyed the.u selves to the "top of their beiit." New Tow.nsuip.- A new Townshi • erected by ihe Court last week, f rn nut of partß-of West Providence and Colemin —the pluco of voting at the School House, on John Hartley's farm. Our paper is a few hours behind the usu al time. We will try 'to .prevent ihe like occurring soon again. ir. nroniiit Sit Oyir n. This rising political mountebank, who was recently raised from the obscurity which otherwise hid him from public notice by be ing elevated to the dignity of Chairman of the American Ftate Committee, is at pres- ent attracting sumo aticutiun and getting his name into the newspapers. For sonic weeks past he has been per tubulating the State, having iu charge and exhibiting at stated times and places one Isaac Hazel, hurst, whom he introduces to the curious as as the ■'■Anierioau" candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. On the occasion of his exhibition ut Bedford a week or so ano lie made a speech, tho substance of which was reported in the next issue of the Gnzeiie with evident gusto. He is reported to have been very severe on'he lil >ck .Republicans, and charged them with any amount of crime and corruption. lie said th*y had lots of money last summer, and used it effectually iu subsidizing the American party and its orgaus to the cause of ■Fremont. Among other presses thus bought over he instanced the Cambria Tribune. Ke is not reported as Laving mentioned the sum employed in the purchase, but rumor says we are char ged with having received one thousaud dol lars. W'heu this report first reached cur ears, we considered the thing too ridiculous to require a denial, and we let a week pass without noticing it. Nor do we think even now that thc>e who know us best will re quire any such contradiction frow us ; but seeing that the lies of this fellow may bo taken advantage of by our iocofoco oppo nents to our injury and that of the cause in which we are enlisted, we deem it necessary to put in a distinct and emphatic deuial of the charge, lest our silence should be mis interpreted. -His charge is, that we took down the names of Fillmore aud Donclson and put iu their place those of Fremont and Dayton, and report gives us a thousand dol lars for the service. Now, while we confess to the taking down part, our files will show that the name of Frewout never was at the bead of our paper, and that we never sup pot ted him directly: eud as to the we utterly deny that we ever received a dollar from any party for anv service but what we fairly and honestly earned. Of course the public has only our word for this; but then we defy Bucher Swoope, or any cf feis clique, to prove the contrary.— And to give him or his friends a to make good the charge, wc pronounce it an unqualified falsehood, ami the man who first uttered it an unscrupulous liar. We call upon Mr. Swoope to retract it, or give the authority by which be makes it, otherwise we will hold hitu legally responsible. The truth is, both the American and Re publican parties are indebted to us for printing done during the campaign, which we have long since put to the account of profit and loss. Neither party appreciated our valuable .services in the campaign so highly as to offer us a SI,OOO, or the one hundredth part of that sum. If they had, we would certainly have accepted it, and thanked them for their generosity—hut wc would have pursued the course we did any* how. And we think the public hereabouts will agree with us that SI,OOO in mouey would be better than SSOO in Gas stock.— Cambria Tribune. REVOLUTION OF PARTIES IN MISSOURI. —Since the elections Moribund South ha ve ; demonstrated the dissolution of the Ameri can party, the citizens of Missouri who made j the recent great rally under'the lead of Ma jor ROLLINS, have determined to abandon ' ihoir old organizations as Whigs, Atneti ; cans, and Benton Democrats, and to unite fin one grand consolidated party, bearing | the cognomen of Union Democrats. The i St. Louis intelligencer suys that this coali i tion has been actively progressing in the western and sulbwestern counties of the State. The idea wto make a conservative union party opposed to Atchison and his Nullifiers. In the vlulutnbia Statesman (which paper is suppose I to reflect the sen timents of Major ROLLINS,) appears an arti cle strongly commending the movement, and the Jefferson Inquirer, the largest circula ting and most influential Democratic journal in t lie interior of Missouri, also contu.'ns an article pointing in the same direction. If is designed to construct a platform which ( shall be acceptable to the three leading el- ' ements of the union, so that, without being either Free Soil or Kuow Nothing, it will oppose Border Ruffianism and tho aggrava ted evils of foreign influence! In a slave | State like Missouri, this nioveiuent is a very important one. I'ORTER HTTAWR.EV rv TROUBLE.— This ; distinguished Democrat, Ex-Surveyor Gen eral of this State, and who was aunouced, lately, as having lieen appointed by Buchan an, Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, has boon getting into trouble.

The parties had got a- far as a country hotel bet ween here and Waterford where they were overtaken hy the husband of the flying "beauty, fiai 1 German after soma slight preliminaries and rather an informal introduction proceeded to pitch into the General, and after giving his throat one Or two lather loving grips was making a beiutilul pass at him with a chair when other parties bursted into the an* o.j^(rn>coeearugs.

AGRICULTURAL STATE FAIR,—Tim Phil adelphia papers state that- every possible preparation is being made for the convcni encc of visitors to the grounds of the Penn sylvania State Agricultural Fair at Powel ton, commencing on .September 29th. We wish to say to every person who read this that there is an article known as 1 Jr. Sandford's Invigoratcr, or Liver complaint in any of its forms, such as Jaundice, Dys pepsia and numerous other complaints, de scribed in another column, besides which it is one of the greatest, preparations or cures for consumption, tukeu in early stages, that is DOW known. We take it for granted, as experiment ! has proven, that diseases of the lungs are not generally the first cause of consumption, ; hut a debilitated "system, caused by the iin i proper action of the liver, reduces the pow er of the lungs to resistor throw off diseases ; eiiused by cold and irritation, leaving the ■lungs at the mercy of one disease, because the liver has incapacitated them from per forming their proper action of throwing oft' diseased matter caused by cold, thus to pre vent consumption, euro the liver and keep tiie system strong enough to throw off slight, desc;rses of the lungs. There is not iu the world a better liver remedy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. Sandford's Invignrator, for it has been fully fried in a large find extended practice tiil its results are fully knuWu, and now it is offered as a tried remedy, and one thru ean be relied on.—For sale by Dr. Ilarry.
