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!

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

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.—

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 Eric L'onsHtir
fion says that he fell in with an artful, fas
cinatinglady, the wife of a wealthy German
in N'ew York, and was so captivate 1 by her
charms as to fellow her a tray from the dom
icile of her liege lord. 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. Alter sviuc
hard swearing, hard threatening and hard
blowing, the disooinfittod General took the
buck track. it is said, for New York, leav
ing the injured husband and truant wife to
settle sundry family jars preliminary to a
final separation ora rcntftts! of their "vows."
IN* A HAD WAY. —The "harmonious de
mocracy" in Schuylkill county, are up in
arms for the spoils of office. They apply to
each other terms tf the nost pleasing char

"Banditti," "Ratals," are in common use.

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
