Bowman, in his speech in the Court
fiwse in Court week, st*tod that fourteen
men, a couple of years ago, had been initi
ated in the Commissioners' office, into the
'Know-Nothing'' order, by Henrv Nicodc
mus. Would it be believed that this same
Henry Nicodcutus is now clerk to the Loco
foco Commissioners? Would it be believed
that Cadwalladcr Evan®, the man that made
him Cltrk, last fall, is uow a candidate for
Commissioner again, and is in favor of con
tinuing hini? If this is not true, we would
like Mr. Evans to couie out and deny it.—
Might uut Nicodctuus do the same thing
over again, if he is kept in that office? —
Would the Couuty records be any safer
with this uian iu the board, than they were
when the Americans had possession of that
office?
MEETING AT PLEAEANTVILI.E—TIME

tbe County Committee hed fixed it on the

this, the time has been changed as above,
and our friends in St. Clair will please take
notice, and get up the niesting accordingly.
GKN. hOOM'Z and GEN. BURNS.
At our recent meeting at the Court
House, after Judge Wilrnoi had coucluded
his remark's, Gen. Kooutz was called out
♦o address the meeting. Before lie pro
ceeded far lie charged Genl. Bums, One if
the Locofoco candidates for the legislature,
with voting in substance for the YVilioot
Proviso, —that is for excluding slavery froiu
the national territories, — when he (Burns)
was in the State Legislature of 1857. The
charge was hardly uiadc, before burns, who
was present, denounced it as a wholesale
lie, uud, we are credibly informed, e*"en
went so far as to swear at Koontz in no
measured terms, for slaudering him. Hav
ing all confidence in the veracity of Kooutz,
and our curiosity being excited to know
tbe real extent of Genl. bums' cause of
complaint, wc have huuted up the Journal
of the House for 1847, and find the truth
to be just as Gcul. Koontz alleged in his
speech. We will venture to give the rec
ord, and hope Geul. burns will keep his
temper, or at any rate, that he will uot
prosecute ns for libel. In the Pamphlet
Laws of 1547, pago 489, are the following
Preamble and Resolutions:
"\V HERE AS the exist iug war with Mexico
may result in the acquisition ol new terri
tory to tbe Union:
"AND WHEREAS, measures are now pend
ing in Congress, having in view the appro
priation of money ami conferring authority
upou the treaty-making power to this end;
therefore,
RESOLVED , by the Senate and House of
Representatives in (leneral .Assembly met,
That our Senators and Representatives iu
Congress be requested to vote against any
measure whatever, by which territory will
accrue to ihc Union, unless asa part of ihc
fundamental law upon which any compact
or treaty for this purpose is based, slavery
or involuntary servitude, except for crime,
shall be forever prohibited.''
This Preamble aud Resolutions came up
on their final passage iu liio House <>f Rep
resentatives ou the liGth day ot January,
1847, and passed unanimously, yeas 95,
Nays, none. See Jourual of the House,
page 120.
Goal. Jauies Burns, and Genl. John
Sipes were the two members from this dis
trict, and they both voted for the Resolu
tions, the declarations aud oaths of Mr.
Burns to the contrary notwithstanding.
On the next day (January 28) the same
Preamble and Resolutions passed the Sen
ate by a vote of 24 against 3; Senator
lJigler aud bis Ljcofoco friends voting with
him for the Resolutions. See Senate
Journal for 1847, page 124. Here then
we have the conclusive proof of what both
H'ilmot and Koonlz declared in their speech
es. Iu 1847 we fiud that not only Genl.
Burns, aud Senator Bigler, but the whole
l.ocofoeo party iu both branches of the 1*e
...... i r-. .c- ,
or what is the same thing, voted to ex
clude slavery from all newly acquired ter
ritories. But a wonderful change has late
ly come over the shaui democracy. 'lhe
men who now oppose the extension ot slave
ry, are dcuounccd and villified as disunion
ists and abolitionists. Can it be that the
people can be any longer humbugged by a
party which so stultifies itself, and so
falsely abuses others! Gcul. Burns was
right ou this question when he was iu the
legislature in 1847, but as be now repu
diates, and denies that vote, the people
will attend to him, aud let him--stay at
home !
HKNIIY NICODKMU3, ESQ.
In reply to our recent article ou the sub
ject of official misconduct in the Count)
Commissioners, sending their lists of voters
to the wrong Assessors, their beautiful
Clerk cotnes to the rescue in an article in
the Gazette, over his own signature. A ;
pretty defence it is too, in which he admits
the substauee of our allegations, aud then !
endeavors to exeuso himself and the Com
missioners for a palpable violation of the I
plain provisions of an Act of Assembly, by .
falsely charging that somebody else did not j
discharge their duties properly. The sub
stance of the Clerk's article is as follows . :
'•The coi reel ion was at once made, and those |
assessors thut had received said lists were
immediately written to, and requested to
hand them over to their predecessors, and
1 the old assessois notified to receive them,
which was done in due lime."
Let us see how far from the truth this is.
The law requires the Commissioners to de.
liver proper lists of taxables to each asses
sor on or before the first day of August ;
and it icquires each assessor to put up copies
, "on or before the 20 th of Jlugust" in each
year. Now after the 20M August, Mr.
James MeMullin, the assessor of this l>or
ough, complained thut no list had been fur
nished him; and tbeu it was that the correc
tion"" of the mistake was made, as to him;
but iu the nature of the ease the correctiou
could not bo made as toothers until much
later, they living at a distance from town-
Aud we know further that ouiy ou the 10th
of September, iust., Mr. John Evans, the
assessor of Londonderry, came all the way
to Bedford to see why it was he had received
jUJ assessment lists. We presume the mis-
take as to Mr. Evans was corrected on the
10th of September, and it is very likely
other-" remain yet to be corrected. But if,
as i< alleged, some of tbe lists had not been
sent yet when Mr. McMullin caused the
mistake to be discovered nfttr the '2O/A oj
.•lugust, how could any lists sent out after
that, or handed over after the 20th, enable
the assessors to make nut copies and put
them up before the 20fA, as required by law?
Tbo 10th of September, as in Evans' case,
BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE.
may "6e in due time ," according to the
notions of our County Commissioner*, and
their wise Clerk, hut the law says other
wise, and it is of its violati >n we complain.
Again, wc know that several of the asses
sors to whom the lists were wrongfully sent,
and probably all of them, acting under false
instructions as to duty, copied off and put
up the lists, having no legal authority.—
Now, it seems, the proper assessors have
been instructed to go ou anil do it over
again, after the time fixed by law, has expi
red. A question hare arises for the tax
payers. Who is to pay these two sets ol as
sessors ? Is the double burden to fall on
tbe Treasury of tbc County ? or is one or the
other sets of assessors to be compelled to
work for nothing ? Let the answers be
given at the ballot-box.
We respect an honest confession of igno
rance, accompanied by promise of amend"
ment j but we despise that equivocating
falsehood which is too proud to admit its
ignotance, uud when proved upon i', vainly
endeavors to explain it away by fabrications
implicating innocent parties, and exonera
ting itself. Such a defence is worse than
the origiual cause of complaint.
"A POLITICAL MOVEMENT.—The Cleve
land Leader publishes a paper signed by
four hundred foreigners of that city, who
say that they have heretofore unanimously
voted the Democratic ticket, but tbey shall
stay away from the polls this Fall, alleging
as a reason, the election and appointment
of Know Nothings by the Democratic party
and Adminis ration."
Ilow would these gentlemen act if they
resided in Bedford County? The leaders
of the party here in Bedford, those who
make and control public opinion in their
party, have, until very recently, been active
'-Know-Nothings!" David Hay, avolun
ther candidate for the Legislature, one who
has never in his life been a Locofoco, and is
not now, is supported by them for the Leg
islature. They even place his name among
the other candidates on th*ir County liekpt,
and no doubt will print it along with their
other candidates. In Somerset, they dure
not sapport him as a Locofoco—he is run
there as a volunteer, and iu some parts of
that County he is held up to Americans as
one of the best Americans there! They
also keep a Clerk to the Commissioners,
Henry Nieodemus, a tuan, who it is well
known, did all in his power to builu up the
••Know-Nothings." lie traveled tiie Coun
ty organizing "Know-Nothing Lodges,"
and iu oue of his pilgrimages for that pur
pose, be was rotten-egged by the "Democ
racy" of Cumberland Valley. They have
on their ticket for Commissioner, Cadwalla
der Evans, the man who appointed Nieode
mus Clerk last full, and who is in favor of
'—-r ! > ' •'
party are exerting all their power to elect
Evans for that puryose. What, we say,
would those Democrats in Cleveland do
were they living in Bedford County? W bat
will those who were true to their party all
the time in this County do this fall? That's
the question.
A CAUTION TO WITNESSES.
At the liit Term of our Courts two wit
nesses who had been in attendance conclu
ded to leave, aud did leave before the case
in which they were subpoenaed was culled
up for trial. Nest day the ease was called
up, and hid to be continued until next
term, because of their absence. The party
who had summoned them had an attach
ment issued for them, anil on this they
were brought into court, and the one sen
tenced by the judge to pay oue half the
costs of the attachment aud fifteen dollars
of the costs iti the suit, and sin other one
was ordered to pay the Other half of the
costs upon the attachment, and teu dollars
of the costs of the action in which both bad
been subpoenaed as witnesses. We give no
names, but consider it important that eve
rybody should know the dauger of disobey
ing a subja-ua, or of going away without
permission after having come iu upon a sub
poena as a witness.
Our frieud, D. J. Chapman, Esq., of
Philadelphia, has our thanks for a nice
present, by Adams 4 Co's Express, of about
a bushel of sweet potatoes, and a bottle of
eight dollar "cholera mediciue"—an article
of rare merit, and Laid to procure in this
part of the "animal kingdom." Dan is ail
old priuter, and now that he has plcuty of
this "wotld's gear," cousiders it a pleasure
to do a kind act for his poor friends of the
craft. Success always attend liiui.

warn our friends to be on their
' guard, and not to credit theJargo "fish *to

This is the way they do. When they are in

say that certain Locofoco Townships are go
ing to givo unprecedeutedly large Locofoco
majorities, and in Locofoco Townships, they
just reverse it, and say that certain Ameri

give very small majorities. This is their
old game, don't believe their lies.

condemn the audacious intermeddling, and
profligate abuse of power and influence
practiced by that corrupt official."
The Cincinnati Knquirer say-:

\\ e wish to say to every person who read i
this that there is an article known as Dr.
Sand ford's Invigorator, or Liver complaiut
in any of its forms, suolt as Jaundice, Dys
pepsia and numerous other complaints, de
scribed in another column, besides which it
is one of tiie greatest preparations or cures ,
for consumption, taticti in early stages, that i
i> now known.
c take it fur granted, ns experiment
has proven, that diseases of the lungs are
not generally the tiisi cause of consumption,
but a debilitated system, oaustu by the im
proper notion of the liver, reduces the pow
er of the lungs to tesist or throw tiff diseases
caused by cold and irritation, leaviug the
lungs at the mercy of one disease, because
the liver lias incapacitated them from per
forming their proper action of throwing offj
diseased matter caused by cold, thus to pre
vent consumption, cure the liver and keep
the system strong enough to throw off slight
de-eases of the lungs.
There is not in the world a better liver
remedy or a cure for debilitated system thau
Dr. Sandfufd's Invigorator, for it has been j
fully tried in a large and extended practice !
titi its results are fully known, and now it 1
is offered as a tried remedy, ami one that
can be relied on.—For sale by Dr. llarry.

WOOD'S 11A 111 UESTOHATIVE.—
Ibis wonderful preparation is bavin* an ex
tensive sale in all parts of the Union. It
is onb of the few patent medicines which are
now sold over the country, that arc really
what their inventors claiiu for thetn. Wher
ever it has had a fair trial, the result has
been precisely as Wood predicts. It has
never failed :o turn the white hair back to the
uatural color, where the directions have
been strictly followed,and in numerous cases
it has restored the hair upon beads that bad
beeu bald for years. It is not pretended
that it will make the hair jrrow in every
ease, hut where it tails there is certainly uo
remedy. Ihe restoration of tho hair has
been effected in so many instances whore
tho case seemed utterly hopeless, that it is ;
certainly worth while for all who have lost
their hair to try the experiment of usitiu a
bottle or two of Wood's Hestoaativo.—[Mo
